30. Solar vs. Lunar Feminine with Selvia Filteau

The Calling of creativity is an invitation to take responsibility for who you really are. 

Who are you? 

That is what we are calling you to today, in this clarifying conversation around truth,, discernment, and calling out the CRAP, with Selvia Filteau.

On the subject of creativity, I have 13 spots open for people who are ready to unlock their creative voice, get unstuck, and make life not boring again in my newest course offering based on the life-changing methodology  from Julia Cameron's book, The Artist's Way.

This is the same approach that helped me creatively recover, heal, birth my Every Phase series, my book, and this podcast!

I'm hosting an in-person in Macon if you're in the area, and I'm also hosting a virtual version, so two groups,  meeting once a week starting April 29th.

It’s $375 for a limited time, and also limited to just 13 people, so If you’d like to learn more, email me, or drop a comment, and I will message you with all the creative details.

So who am I and why did I decide to create this show?

Well, after unraveling all of the medical & pharmaceutical lies I had been told about my endometriosis, I educated myself, and I was able to heal myself after 17 years of debilitating pain.

My experience inspired me to actually live my art, so I created an ongoing art series about it called, Every Phase––where I create artwork that illustrates how I healed myself as I live by the phases of the female hormonal cycle. Just look for the Every Phase VLOG episodes on the podcast as I recreate select pieces of the series as an animated mini-series. The artwork shows what's happening in the brain & the body during each phase and reveals how to biohack & leverage this energy in your life. 


I am actually living the art, so it's about more than just healing. The writing and art discuss truth, freedom & our current financial & healthcare system slavery–and the way out.  Learn more by subscribing or visit anotherfingartist.com

So all of that to say, even though I was lied to for years by doctors promoting big pharma, I was able to find experts who helped me achieve the impossible. This space introduces them to you.


Today we are chatting with Former Federal Agent turned Spiritual Mentor & Leader in the Art of Discernment, Selvia Filteau.

For 17 years, Selvia served as a Federal Agent in international covert operations, navigating environments where every decision could mean life or death. In those high-stakes, pressure-filled moments, she honed her ability to lead with precision, stay grounded in chaos, and trust my intuition to make the right calls. But despite outward success, a deep, unshakable void lingered within.

After two dark nights of the soul, grappling with burnout and pushing herself to the limit at the height of her career, Selvia made a life-altering decision to walk away from a world straight out of a spy novel. That shift opened her eyes to a powerful truth: Without a deep spiritual connection to the natural world, she wouldn’t have had the resilience to survive—and ultimately thrive.

Choosing to trust her higher self, she embarked on a transformative journey of spiritual awakening and personal alignment. This new path has led her to the most fulfilling chapter of her life. Today, Seliva works with leaders, entrepreneurs, CEOs, and executives, guiding them to expand their consciousness, tap into deeper purpose, and cultivate peace across every area of their lives. Her mission is to help others step into their sovereignty, embody clarity, and establish unshakable inner authority—creating integrity from within that ripples out into the world.

As a ordained & initiated Priestess, certified breathwork facilitator, legally ministered Shaman with a masters degree in Psycho -Spiritual studies Selvia draws upon over a decade of entrainment in the spiritual & intuitive arts, utilizing various modalities and frameworks acquired from formal training, personal experience, her lineage & her personal journey of expansion.

Seliva designs bespoke, white glove experiences on sacred lands around the globe, restoring lux (light) to luxury, where profound transformational work meets elite mentorship to foster rapid growth and spiritual awakening. Through a tailored process, Selvia guides you to reconnect with your true essence, unlock your innate wisdom, and elevate your consciousness. Each journey is crafted to activate, heal, and evolve your DNA, catalyzing deep, lasting transformation.

If you’re ready to tap into your highest potential and step into a life of true inner authority, contact Selvia to begin your transformative journey together.

About the Podcast

Face Your Shit, Heal Yourself
Where art, truth, and healing collide.
Are you tired of being dismissed, misdiagnosed, or told your pain is "normal"? So was I.

I’m Meredith Ochoa — ANOTHER F*#%ING ARTIST, photographer, author & generational cycle-breaker. After suffering for 17 years with excruciating endometriosis, I faced my shit & healed myself. Now, I create powerful art and conversations that help others do the same.

Facing your shit & healing yourself is more than just a podcast, it is a movement.
This show is a bold, unfiltered space where we explore the real root causes of chronic illness—physical, emotional, and spiritual—and talk about the alternative healing paths the mainstream medical system won’t. From hormone health, trauma recovery, and sacred sexuality to Reiki, Ayurveda, cycle syncing, Taoist healing, and functional medicine, we dive into the unconventional practices that actually work.

💥 If you’ve ever felt like there must be more to healing—there is.
💥 If you’re navigating chronic pain, chronic illness, endometriosis, autoimmune disease, health trauma— or if you have been gaslit by western medicine, this is your space.
💥 If you're a practitioner, healer, or wellness brand ready to be part of this healing revolution—we should talk.

Each episode features raw truth, expert guests, plus stories behind the art series Every Phase, where I am 'living the art' as I visually document my cyclical healing process.

✨ All Healing starts with being authentic
🎨 Through my art I am healed — and I help others heal too.
🎧 New episodes drop every third Wednesday of the month, with art biohacking & raw process talks in between.

About your host

Profile picture for Meredith Ochoa

Meredith Ochoa

Meredith Ochoa is ANOTHER F#%ING ARTIST—a former ballerina turned mixed media artist, author, photographer, and generational cycle-breaker who turned 17 years of excruciating endometriosis into a revolutionary body of healing artwork.

Her journey started in the shadows—recovering from an eating disorder, building pinhole cameras by hand, and falling in love with the alchemy of the darkroom. When digital photography took over, she challenged the movement by turning a scanner into a large-format camera—flattening depth to make the subject the negative. This integration of old‑world photography principles with new‑world tech became her signature technique, and the way she started revealing the stories our bodies keep.

But it wasn’t until she experienced a series of near-death menstrual experiences that the real unraveling began. After years of being dismissed by doctors, pumped with medications, hormones, and told “it’s all in your head,” Meredith took her healing into her own hands—she studied the infradian rhythm, dismantled medical lies, and healed herself of a disease the system said was incurable.

That liberation sparked Every Phase—a 13‑year art project (2021‑2033) creating a piece for every hormonal phase—Follicular, Ovulatory, Luteal & Menstrual.
The series is a moving blueprint for anyone learning to alchemize biology into fuel and biohack with art, whether their battle is endo or a heartbreak no scan can see.

Her work wages a visual war on medical gaslighting, inviting viewers to face their own contradictions: shadow and light, pain and power. Each piece is a mirror—and a key—for anyone told “it’s all in your head.”

Why does she make art?
Because images can slip past the gatekeepers of logic and land directly in the bloodstream.
Because authenticity is the first medicine.
Because living a lie almost killed her—and creation keeps her honest.
Because pain is power waiting to be translated, if you’re willing to face your shit.
