What is your relationship like to death? Is it something you avoid or something you embrace? In this episode I share some lessons as well as a Mexican folktale that I recently learned from author, poet, and psychoanalyst Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estès. In this work she talks about the Life, Death, Life cycle, and how things need to die in order to be reborn into something new & more aligned. We can’t have life without death. We can’t have death without life. They’re interdependent. Sometimes we hold onto things way past their expiration date whether it’s ideas, relationships, careers, passions, beliefs, etc. And in holding onto it, we don’t give it a chance to regenerate into something deeper and wiser. We fear that once we let it die, it’s gone forever. And that’s just not true.

Welcome to the brand new Our Wildest Dreams podcast!!!

In this episode I️ share some general direction of the show shifting from Everyday Intentions to Our Wildest Dreams! There's been a lot of healing and clarity on my side, which is why I️ decided it was time to shift the energy of the show! Our main theme of focusing on small steps on to intentional create what you desire will remain the same, but there's going to be way more depth, truth, and mysticism in this show.

This podcast is all about the process of creative emergence and what's possible when we tap into the power of our imagination. I'll be telling stories of visionaries from past and present timelines, old wive's tales (folklore), myths, and bringing on guests who are in their creative expression.

My prayer is that as you listen to the episodes you find yourself in one of these stories and come into connection with your own creative potential.

Note:
Visionary Architect is a term I️ learned from my trauma resolution coach, Rachael Maddox.
