You’ll find detailed information about different channeling types, including mind-to-mind communication, your intention affecting matter, and sensing the future. And finally, you’ll discover a wealth of studies about the science of channeling, providing ample evidence that channeling is a real phenomenon and insights into how it works.

Experience Superhero Therapy and learn to set boundaries, speak up and shine!

“Dramatic,” “crazy,” “overly emotional” – these are just some of the ways in which women have been described when simply expressing their needs and feelings. As result, many women might suppress their emotions, as well as their own voices. Numerous empirical studies demonstrate the evidence of adverse psychological effects of invalidation, emotional abuse, and emotion suppression.

Capes are optional.

Janina will be joined by special guest Christy Jedigoddess, a pop culture historian and the illustrator of Janina's new book: Super-Women: Discovering our Inner Strengths Through Pop Culture.
