Kimberly Maska: Welcome everybody. I’m Kimberly Maska and this is Spiritual Biz with Kimberly Maska. And today we have an amazing guest with us who is the author of this beautiful book, The Mystic Woman’s Compass, Mariangela Parrodi. Welcome Mariangela. How are you?
Mariangela Parrodi: I’m well, thank you, Kimberly, for having me. So excited.
Kimberly Maska: We’ve been actually working together to get this beautiful book published through Spiritual Biz Publishing. It’s been quite the journey, but it is so exciting to see it done in our hands. It’s real now! How does it feel to finally have your copy in your hands?
Mariangela Parrodi: Oh, I just felt so emotional because it’s been at least two years in the making, so, to have it here, I was just very teary.
Kimberly Maska: I think people forget how long it takes to birth a book because you really are birthing a book forward with all the creativity and the time and all the energy you’re putting into it. What was your inspiration for writing this book? This is your second book, correct? But what was the inspiration for, for this book?
Mariangela Parrodi: I’ve realized after working with people for about 20 years that most of the clients that came to me had some sort of sensitivity or allergies. And so once I was able to resolve them, they wanted to know more about how to heal themselves. I realized that a lot of healers have sensitivities or some health crises that they’ve had at the same time. So this is like a guidebook to help them find their way, and resolve underlying issues, emotional, physical, and spiritual so that they can have the tools in their hands. That’s what I love to do, is empowering people to look within themselves and find the answers. So when I started, teaching them, I realized, oh wow, this, this could be great if they had a book. I didn’t have a book when I went through it all. We come in without a book. This is the book that’ll keep you going and understanding, “Why am I feeling strange? Why am I feeling drained? Or why am I crying all the time?” Often the symptoms healers and empaths have is that their life is overwhelming and their emotions are just absorbing a lot of their environment.
Kimberly Maska: Yeah, it’s amazing how those emotions get stuck in us and then manifest themselves as an illness or an allergy. And you went through that, but not only you. I think it’s really important, this is a very personal book for you because you also talk about your son a lot too, and, and the things that he went through. Share a little bit about that story.
Mariangela Parrodi: So he was basically born screaming and within a few days, he’s developed really severe eczema. He cried and didn’t sleep for about three years. The eczema was so bad that he was bleeding on the sheets. They called him an allergic sort of personality; that was really unsettling. I didn’t realize what I was eating at that time was going through my breast milk and affecting him. So in my wisdom, I tried to track down how to heal him because of my biomedical science background. I was able to break it down to, “What am I eating? What happened to me while I was pregnant with him? When I was working in pathology, did I take in any chemicals at that time?
So because of all his suffering, I wasn’t getting any sleep, and I was trying to be a bit more systematic about how can I help him. You know, what has he taken on from my family? Why is he so irritated? All of that helped me to really break it down. And that was a lot in my first book. But this is giving people a little bit more insight into how deeply we can inherit some trauma from the family. And it’s carried through the bloodline, not just from me, but from my father and my grandfather. He was a little psychic baby too, so he was attracting a lot of spirits into the house. I was like, “What is happening here?” He was a little baby healer. I had a lot of clients who would bring in their children and ask, “Why is she feeling sick? Why is she bringing all these spirits into the house?” But little babies don’t have the training. And that was me as a child, I would see all these awful things at night. I was just too open to everything and didn’t realize I was bringing in those spirits to be healed. I don’t do that anymore. I’ve shut that part down so that I’m having a good light sleep. But this is what part of the book is about, helping resolve those tendencies to attract everybody’s problems to the person or you know, your family member. This book would really help anyone that has a child as well, because you’re empowering that child to have more skills up their sleeve to support themselves.
Kimberly Maska: I think especially everyone that’s coming into this dimension now, they all have a real purpose and the kids are more awake now than ever and they’re coming into this 3D world finding all the contrast; whether it’s illnesses or everything else. It is so important that you address that in the book because there are a lot of parents that are wondering what to do. “How do I help them?” Your book really covers it beautifully. So that’s a beautiful thing for everyone to take away, if your children are showing the signs of being healers and you’re not sure what to do with them. This will definitely help them through the whole process because you went through quite an ordeal.
Mariangela Parrodi: Yeah, lots of learning. So a lot of my clients came with their children that were overwhelmed with allergies and children that were really anxious and depressed at such a young age. And I remember feeling like that as a child, waking up feeling so low. I had chronic fatigue as well. What I didn’t realize was that I was just absorbing everybody’s issues and the weight of the world was on my shoulders. But it doesn’t have to be that way. You can have energy and joy in your life. I felt so depressed and I know many children are been medicated right now. So this is an alternative.
Kimberly Maska: I think that’s what makes you a very unique healer is you have a strong science background, but then here you are this incredible shaman as well. So let’s talk about that and how you went from that science background into now being this incredible healer.
Mariangela Parrodi: I wanted to be a naturopath when I finished school, but my dad said, “No” like an Italian dad. I followed the rules. I did what I was supposed to do, and gave away my dream. So I studied biomedical science and spent my career looking for cells; cancer cells, cervical and breast cancers. And I thought, “No, I want to change. I want to help people. I don’t want people to get to this point. But I just sat there at the microscope for years until my arms started to aggravate and wouldn’t heal. I suffered like this for about a year and then I left and I decided no, I really needed to retrain into naturopathy.
I was able to really connect a lot more with the herbs. Herbs would speak to me telling me, “This is what people need.” So I was really connected with the land. Then I started to explore my connection with the earth a lot more because I used to really love being in nature, but I couldn’t really understand when I was younger what that meant for me. But I know that helps me to feel more peaceful, more grounded in my body, more connected. So many people are so much in their heads worried about the future. I realized the land actually gave me such healing. And especially when I went back to South America when I was 40 and really connected to my roots there. That really opened up my shamanic abilities connecting with the shamans in Chile and Peru and Bolivia. That just opened up a whole new part of me that I never knew was there. I was able to bring that back to Australia and share that with my clients to help them to connect with all the energy of the rocks and the mountains and the trees and really connect with the healing vibration that we get from those elements.
Kimberly Maska: Beautiful. And that’s all very well chronicled in the book we’re talking about The Mystic Woman’s Compass. So you don’t just help healers who have children who have issues, but of course, you’re helping healers step into the power of who they are, like getting past all of the 3D struggles. Which we know what’s so important nowadays. What are you seeing with the clients you’re working with? What are they here to do and what are you helping them overcome so that they can reach their full potential?
Mariangela Parrodi: Most of them don’t realize how much power they have. They’re so gifted and they lack a lot of confidence. I’m really about empowering people to shine the light on what they think isn’t a gift necessarily, because they’ve been using it for such a long time, it just feels like normal. I’ve been able to highlight their abilities so that they are not just healers, tangibly putting their hands on the body, but they’re also going out into different walks of life. Doctors, nurses, counselors,artists, they’re all carrying their frequency of healing through them so that they are touching the lives of so many people. They’re able to channel in healing for themselves being more centered and grounded and peaceful. Then that radiates out into their community or friends or family.
It’s like they are much more still in the present. Generally, I am really waking up all of their multi gifts. All my clients don’t just have one, they’re just not psychic. They are leaders, they are connectors, a lot of them are shamans and they haven’t really awoken up to it yet. I activate all the seven gifts within the body so that they are living all of their multi potential and thriving. Absolutely thriving.
Kimberly Maska: That’s amazing. That’s what we need, all the healers and lightworkers to be out there so that we can shift the consciousness on the planet and help us get through all of this nonsense we’re having right now. What do you think is the thing keeping lightworkers stuck the most? What’s the biggest struggle that you’re seeing, whether it’s your clients or just what you’re seeing in general? What’s the thing that’s keeping them stuck and where they are?
Mariangela Parrodi: I think they’re waiting for things to change and they don’t realize that they have to be the change first. They want a certain set of experiences and their waiting for certain conditions to be perfect before they do anything about it. And what I’ve found is you have to be the change first. You have to become the frequency that you want to be before the doors open. So basically you are leaping before anything’s set. An example is being a writer. I didn’t think I was a writer. I had communication issues. I was a migrant child, couldn’t speak English, I couldn’t connect with my father. I couldn’t express what I needed to express. So I had to become the person that would speak at my first book launch 10 years ago. I was petrified, I was shaking, I was crying because to be able to speak in front of a crowd was so life-threatening.
But I had to take that step to do it and then feel that in my body to know that I could survive. I was carrying a fear/belief that you can’t speak up, not just in the family, but culturally through living in South America. Most people disappeared if they spoke up when I was growing up with the regime. So I had to release a lot of trauma.
Most people are carrying some level of trauma that’s holding them back. But using these techniques in the book will help them to become that energy, become that person that they want to be. And then when that shifts, then everything starts to open up as if my magic. But it is all the inner work that’s happened beforehand.
Kimberly Maska: That trauma, it’s amazing how that just holds us all up. That’s a, a really good point I want to make about the book is that you have some amazing exercises in here and it’s really set up as a way for people to utilize what you’re sharing. So you have your story, you share it, and then you give them exercises to do. So let’s talk a little bit about that so they know when they pick up the book, what they can expect, and then you even have some extra free gifts on top of that. Talk to me about that.
Mariangela Parrodi: I share my story because I know that stories really open up memories in the body. And so as people are reading the story, they will feel something be triggered within themselves, a memory from the past. And I have lots of questions for them to answer that will help them to open up some of those things that are stored in the body. I’ve got exercises on how to be centered to meditate, how to activate all the seven gifts, how to connect with the different frequencies of healing and shamanic practices. There are lots of rituals in there. And I love using Oracle cards. I’ve got some Oracle card questions in there to help give you some different questions to answer within yourself, whether you are using journaling prompts or the cards. It’s just a beautiful way to connect and so that you are getting a better sense of what you are capable of doing.
And so I’m sure that by the end of this book, you will be transformed. You will not be the same person. I’ve woven in so much healing within the book from the start to the end. It’s about my journey as well, where I started as a young little five-year-old leaving Chile South America, and to where I am now helping so many people around the world. You will also go through that same journey of awakening within yourself. The book is really supportive of you and the free gifts that are there as well to go help you go deeper into manifesting sacred space, your shamanic altar, and connecting with more of your superpowers. Just feeling so much more joy and freedom within the body with these gifts that I’m offering you as well.
Kimberly Maska: I have to say thank you to you for being so vulnerable in the book. Your story is beautiful and it really pulls you in and then you tie it in with the lessons and what we can do to get past our own traumas. Thank you for doing that because not everyone is quite as open to being as vulnerable as you are in the book. And I think that’s a really beautiful piece that makes it very unique.
Mariangela Parrodi: Thank you. I feel things intensely so I know when I wrote my first book, I wasn’t sure how people would feel about that because it was very raw. But everybody that read it felt that they really connected with it because it was mirroring a lot of what they’d felt or thought. A lot of people think things and then express it. So I think that was part of my journey – expressing, being a communicator, being a messenger so that people can realize that other people are going through similar issues and that you’re not alone.
Kimberly Maska: The feeling of community, knowing that you’re not alone, I think is the biggest thing that we need as lightworkers. To know that it’s not just us, we’re here together so that we can shift and make it all happen.
We know this is of course Spiritual Biz with Kimberly Maska, so let’s talk a little bit about your business and what you’ve created. You have one of my angel wings on the wall here, having crossed six figures with your spiritual business, my Spiritual Biz $100k Club. Is there anything in your business now that is really working or is there a big aha you’ve had about how you shifted? Because as an entrepreneur, especially a spiritual entrepreneur, we’re always growing and shifting. So what does your business feel like now and is there something that’s working that you’d like to share?
Mariangela Parrodi: I think when we had the pandemic going on, I was online before that, but going more online at that point really helped me to connect with a bigger community, to feel that intimacy, the way I connect. It doesn’t matter if we’re not in the same room. We can do it virtually anywhere. So I’m helping to transcend some of those obstacles through getting people to practically do things, practically create those medicine spaces, medicine wheels. What, what am I doing that works? I have an intimate connection with my clients and I know that that is really important. I don’t like having big groups. To me, it’s like that smaller group connection is where I hold your hand. I’m quite vigilant around where people are at and how I can support them. So it’s my daily connection with the person that I can help them see what’s happening within themselves, empower them with some questions so that they are being held energetically the whole time. I’m a nurturer. I’m very sensitive to people’s needs and I’m there, I’m fighting with you. We’re winning together, celebrating together.
Kimberly Maska: You’re in their corner for them for sure. So if someone knows that they’re on this planet and they’re supposed to be making a difference, but they’re stuck, what would you suggest that they do?
Mariangela Parrodi: You have to change first before things start to change around you. So making sure you are connected to the channel is really important. Often we come in with all these struggles that we are meant to release and transcend. It actually helps to empower everybody to step onto their true path. Holding themselves back is not part of their destiny. So it’s like uncovering what’s really in the way and working through systematically. Is it spiritual? Is it emotional? Is it physical? Often I’ve noticed that they are taking on so many other issues absorbed by other people that they think it’s their problem. But it’s not. They’re contaminated or connected to too many other people that are too fearful about the future. So I would say that using a lot of the techniques in the book would help them to open up the next step so that it’s easier for them. Working with those strategies, especially with the free gifts that I’m offering there will help them to move through those blockages.
Kimberly Maska: We need those lightworkers out there more than ever, you guys. So wonderful. Well, below this video there is going to be a link to the book. So we’re asking you guys to support Mariangela in her book launch of The Mystic Woman’s Compass. It’s a beautiful book, it’s a very intimate story. I highly recommend picking that up. Any parting words for us before we go?
Mariangela Parrodi: I just love what I’ve put in this book. I just know that it is really needed right now and you would benefit so much. Just one chapter is gonna shift so much for you. So just take the time to connect with that and share it with another friend that would feel so much more empowered by this book.
