In this episode, we explore the ancient Sumerian myth of Goddess Inanna—a profound archetype for the feminine journey of transformation. Inanna’s descent into the underworld is more than just a tale; it’s a mirror of the inner cycles we all face as women. It’s a story of surrender, death, rebirth, and the reclamation of power.

Join me as we unpack:

• Inanna’s Descent: The seven gates she passes through, each representing the shedding of ego, roles, and external validation.
• The Underworld Experience: What it means to face our shadow and sit in the void where transformation begins.
• Rebirth and Return: The integration of the feminine wisdom gained from navigating the depths and rising anew.
• Death and Rebirth in Modern Life: How this myth reflects the real-life seasons of change, loss, and personal evolution we experience as high-performing women.

This episode invites you to reflect on your own moments of descent—whether you’re navigating burnout, heartbreak, career transitions, or rediscovering your identity. We’ll discuss how embracing the cycle of death and rebirth leads to greater resilience, alignment, and a deeper connection to your true self.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re standing on the edge of change, unsure of what lies ahead, this conversation will guide you toward seeing the beauty in surrender and the strength in rising once again.

In this raw and personal episode, I dive into the unexpected initiations that have unfolded since we acquired our farm—challenges I might not have willingly signed up for, but that have ultimately transformed me.

I explore the idea that transformation isn’t a “full-body hell yes” but often a journey into resistance, where the brain clings to familiarity while life calls us to evolve. I also discuss a shift in perception around "hard times" that may simply change your life!

Join me as I share insights on how to shift perspective during hard times, viewing difficulties not as tests or setbacks but as powerful initiations guiding us to release what no longer serves.

I also challenge common beliefs about the universe “testing” us, suggesting that maybe we’re simply holding onto what we need to let go of.

This episode invites you to embrace the “bitter medicine” of growth, understanding that true alignment often requires deep, uncomfortable transformation.

In this episode, we explore the concept of the Wounded Maiden and the often unintended consequences of the self-development world. Many of us enter the world of self-improvement looking for ways to grow, heal, and become “better”—but along the way, we’re often encouraged to fixate on our perceived flaws, to constantly strive to be someone else’s idea of “whole” or “worthy.” This relentless focus on fixing ourselves can lead us deeper into our Wounded Maiden, a state where we feel we’re never enough, where we wear masks to gain acceptance, and where we seek validation outside of ourselves.

But what if this journey of “self-development” is actually pulling us further from our true selves?

In this episode, we discuss how to heal from the pressures and pitfalls of the self-improvement industry, moving instead toward the Mother archetype—a place of rootedness, acceptance, and genuine self-love. We’ll explore how to leave behind the need to perfect or mask ourselves, embracing who we truly are beneath societal expectations.

Join us for a profound conversation on breaking free from the traps of self-development, healing the Wounded Maiden within, and reconnecting with our authentic self through the journey of the Mother archetype. This episode is for anyone ready to shed the endless quest for self-improvement and finally come home to themselves.
