We had the good fortune of connecting with Kaden Shea & Alina Thieme and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Kaden Shea &, Let’s talk about principles and values – what matters to you most?
When starting this project, we went into it with the mutual understanding of sending a message. A message of education and empowerment to the leading edge of society, our generation. With that comes fundamental tools and perspectives to encourage a ripple effect of radical love, authenticity and freedom our listeners feel within themselves. These core values are what fuel the fire behind Goddess Unbound. Showing up for our community, from opposite ends of the world, by creating a space of open conversation and encouraged oneness, has opened many doors for our own personal growth as well as growth within our communities and the human race as a collective.
Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
The driving force of Goddess Unbound is passion. A passion for a better world and a passion for every living being here. The authenticity & and pure love that we put into every episode is what truly sets us apart in the realm of podcasts. We don’t have it all figured out. If we’re being honest, most of the time we have no idea what we’re doing. But together, we are creating a space where everyone feels loved, welcomed, and honored in their uniqueness & pull towards great understanding. Goddess Unbound was born from our want to share what we’ve learned & the things we have gone through to get to where we are with the world. PLUS! It sounds really cool to talk into a big fancy microphone. The road here was not “easy”. It may have been a simple process, but the countless hours and amounts of energy that went into creating Goddess Unbound showed us parts of ourselves that were previously hidden. Although the road has been tough at some points, like what we stand by, it has made us stronger and has given us the tools & the experience we needed to show up in this way for our community. Our greatest hope is that every human has access to support, education, guidance, love, acceptance, & a sense of belonging, no matter where they are. We are excited to say, we are just getting started.
If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
We love this question, considering that Alina visited Kaden for the very first time in July! Traveling all the way from Berlin, Germany, meant that this trip HAD to be epic! In Phoenix, Old Town Scottsdale was a must. The rustic western vibe plus the lively nightlife made for an incredibly fun evening on the town. Other MUST SEE places while visiting are Sedona to see the magnificent red rocks, The Grand Canyon’s breathtaking views, and The Salt River to spend the day relaxing on the water. Although they are a bit of a treck from the city, if you have the time, it is absolutely worth it! It is also an experience in itself to travel around the state with the people you love! Our favorite places to grab a bite to eat have got to be The Hideaway House in Sedona & Caio Agave in Old Town. There is something fun around every corner here in Phoenix.
Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
First, I want to recognize my parents for being my greatest teachers and giving me the background that shaped me into the person I am today. I want to thank my Dad, for always believing in me and doing anything and everything he can to support me, whether he agreed with it or not. My amazing partner and soul tribe of friends are some of my biggest supports. They encourage me to live out my dreams and to continue to create a life I love to live while giving back in many profound ways. My numerous mentors & clients are everything to me, their trust in me has aided in my confidence and strengthened my ability to serve from the most loving place.I want to thank our listeners, for the unwavering and loving support as we venture into what all is possible in sharing our story.

FIrst of all I would like to thank my parents for always supporting me, standing by my side, and loving me. Without their unconditional support I would not be where I am today. My twin brother, for challenging me, loving me and forcing me to grow. I love you! My soul sisters and my loving friends! Thank you for all of your love, support, understanding, listening, and for being some of my greatest cheerleaders. I would especially like to thank Kaden.
