30. Solar vs. Lunar Feminine with Selvia Filteau

Published on: 16th April, 2025

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 science & spirituality intersect.
My name is Meredith Ochoa and I’m (not just) another f*#%ing artist. I faced my shit & healed myself after 17 years of debilitating endometriosis pain, and now I create artwork that helps others do the same.

This show explores how to heal yourself by telling the truth.
We discuss how to heal cancer, endometriosis, chronic diseases, autoimmune diseases, narcissistic abuse, female cycle syncing, hormonal nutrition, functional medicine, Ayurveda, Taoist Healing Love, Reiki, spirituality, sacred sexuality & mental health as well as the inconvenient truths of our modern health care system that keep these modalities hidden & falsely marketed so we’re left wondering why the hell no one knows about this.

I faced my own debilitating pain every month dealing with Endometriosis for over 17 years. After surgery, crossing over to the other side, and dying from the excruciating pain one too many times, I began to unravel all of the medical lies I had been told and educated myself on how women’s hormone’s actually work and I healed myself. I remember the first day I felt freedom, I could feel the shackles literally just fall off as I got present to the fact that I had minimal to no pain in my life with my intimacy, sex, and every month with my cycle.

What I learned through my experience is that all healing starts with being authentic (men AND women), which is why I encourage others to face all of their shit. And of course, I made (and continue to make) an ongoing art series (and VLOG) about it called Every Phase--'Live the art' with me as I create artwork that illustrates how I healed myself of endometriosis while I live by the phases of the female hormonal cycle.

Even though I was lied to for years by countless doctors promoting big pharma, I was able to find experts who helped me achieve what I thought was impossible. I'm using this space to introduce some of them as well as these practices to you.

Through my art I am healed, and I heal others.

About your host

Profile picture for Meredith Ochoa

Meredith Ochoa

A true explorer and creative, Atlanta artist Meredith Ochoa began her visual arts journey in 2006 at 17 years old, after being a ballerina for 14 years, coming out of an eating disorder, and becoming fascinated with light and shadow– how one can only see the light because of the shadow and vice versa. This contrast showed up not only in her photography but in her life.

She started making her own pinhole cameras and began exploring the alchemy of the darkroom, so when she received a miraculous scholarship to SCAD, she was pretty upset about the digital 'takeover' within the photo world.

She decided to make a 'mockery' of digital photography--turning a scanner into a sort of 'large format' camera. This became an entire practice & technique within itself, and became the scanning process that she is known for today. The subject becomes the "negative" describing the subject digitally with a flattened focal plane.

This technique is depicted throughout her work and was the artistic beginning of her realization that all healing starts with being authentic. She describes her work with the statement…

Through my art I am healed, and I heal others.
