Divine Woman – Details, episodes & analysis

Are you still carrying the weight of teenage traumas? Discover how to heal your inner teenager and break free from the past.

In this episode, I'll share my journey of healing my wounded inner teenager and invite you to explore your own experiences. Drawing from my own rebellious teenage years and the subsequent transformation, I'll discuss the importance of acknowledging and embracing the pain and trauma that may have shaped our adult lives and can manifest as limiting beliefs, unhealthy patterns, and a sense of being misunderstood.

We'll explore the concept of the "wounded inner teenager" and how to identify the signs of this inner child seeking attention. I invite you to listen to this episode to learn practical strategies for listening to, understanding, and healing this part of yourself.

Did you feel heard and loved as a teenager? How did this influence your sense of self and your relationships?

Did you feel the need to rebel? If so, what were you rebelling against, and how did it manifest in your behavior?

How would your life change if your inner teenager felt fully loved, heard, and embraced? What would be different in your relationships, career, or personal life?

Addressing the root causes of our emotional struggles from the inner teenager can help us break free from old patterns and step into a life of unconditional love and freedom.

Join me as we explore how to reprogram our past and embrace our authentic selves.

After years of anticipation, Emer Quintero, my Beloved Soul Sister, and I finally sat down, saddled our microphones, and began speaking our truth about Walking the Modern Priestess Path. This podcast explores our journeys of healing and ascension, balancing these paths with the roles of being moms, women, business owners, and practitioners.

This is a heartfelt conversation about our experiences and visions for the world and specifically the essential work we do. We speak on various topics, flowing freely from reconnecting with our own essence, and how we’ve removed self-judgment, to embracing boundary setting and empathizing with the journeys of others while feeling confident in our own.

Join us as we discuss the realities of being a modern-day priestess, the challenges that might come up, and how we have worked through these to remain authentic to ourselves. The Priestess path isn’t always “sunshine and roses,” and we face a lot of judgment for how we choose to live. We talk about how we perceive ourselves, how we manage the perceptions of others, and how we protect ourselves from caring about others' opinions.

Emer and I also discuss our visions for the new earth, what that means to us, and how the priestess path is much less glamorous and classy, and much more focused on embodiment—the nuts and bolts of your beliefs.

If you’re looking to just sit down, have a cuppa, and listen to our chat about inner guidance, intuition, and learning to truly listen to that inner voice, then this is the episode for you. We touch on powerful areas of our lives, like our children, our roles as mothers, our businesses, how we manage our triggers without reacting, and how we maintain the sacred in our daily routines.

Tune in for future episodes where we'll dive deeper into these topics and more, sharing our insights and experiences on this transformative yet challenging path of a modern priestess.

You’ll be guided through a series of soul-inquiry questions to help you connect with your inner self, and prepare yourself for the powerful energies that Bealtaine brings.

Beltane/Bealtaine is a Fire Festival. The word 'Beltane' originates from the Celtic God 'Bel', meaning 'the bright one', and the Gaelic word 'teine' meaning fire. Together they make 'Bright Fire', or 'Godly Fire', traditionally bonfires were lit to honor the Sun.

Earth energies are at their strongest and most active at this time.

In this episode, Karen Goldstein shares the Journey to Self through Ancestral Healing, a path where the magic shows up in the ordinary and lights up the present.

Karen, an Akashic messenger, felt the human experience in a heavy and heart-felt way, something that was difficult to cope with through the struggles. As she continued the exploration of self-healing and the expansion of consciousness, she opened up a new pathway. An opening that allowed her to shift her perspective on how beautiful and positive life can be.

As we transcend, transmute and transform our healing energies, we do the same to our beliefs and the structures these beliefs are built upon. As she began to lead herself and all of her inner world into healing, that pathway led her to her purpose.

She now works with the akashic records and deepened ancestral work. This type of work not only works on the surface level but also accesses the crux of our wounds, the challenges we face, and whatever pain we bring forward.

Karen works with souls who might have suffered great heartache to those who struggle with health issues. The Akashic work she does heals emotional, physical, and spiritual wounds that have accumulated through our lineage and that we can end, heal and transmute. 

Her intuition grew and expanded to curiosity between lineage and ancestors so much that Karen did a DNA test and made a huge discovery about her family’s past. This discovery not only brought freedom to be who she is but also closure to her soul’s lingering questions. 

Listen to this episode to learn about Karen’s daily practices on how she’s been able to reset herself back into the present and allow true rest and reflection in her inner world. 

Karen has beautiful free monthly gatherings for you to join in the love of the Akasha, you can find this group on Facebook, it’s called Cosmic Love Notes where you can come and be yourself. These circles include frequency attunement, alignment, and energetic health maintenance. It’s truly an honor to be blessed by Karen’s wisdom, don’t miss out on this amazing episode!

Beloved, in this episode I invite you to make use of my top tips for your altar, ritual, and practices during the Spring Equinox, including soul inquiry that will activate this time of radiance for you!

In my journey of rediscovering the warrior within and embracing my calling as both Divine Woman Mentor and Priestess, I’ve cultivated so many practices, from ancient rituals to modern techniques and I can’t wait to share more of them with you!

In the Spring Equinox, we will focus on rebirth, rediscovering your values, balancing and aligning with the wheel of life, and honoring the life and death cycles within ourselves. In nature, things are starting to grow, just as we are growing. In this episode, you’ll learn a ritual to practice during the Spring Equinox and how to create a Spring Equinox altar with everyday items around your home! 

Can you see nature is changing and transforming, as it’s blossoming in the warmth? This is happening in our inner world too, beloved! This is a time for rebirth and activating those intentions. A time to declutter and release so that all the light can shine in on your healing! The land is fertile, and she’s so ready to show you her abundance. Welcoming Spring with Space Clearing the Energy of Your Home is always a fantastic resource, and energetically space clearing is so important during this time as well as clearing out the old to make space for the new. This can be on a physical and energetic level. Do have anything that’s blocking you, that you need to release?  

I’ll also guide you through the following Soul Inquiry questions for Spring Equinox: 

• What have you been holding close to your heart and dreaming about over winter? What do you want to start this Spring?

• What needs grounding in your life right now? Is there an area that needs your care and attention?

• What is stirring within you and wanting to blossom?

• Are there areas of your life where you can invite more balance?

• What is trying to surface in your life and is there something that keeps asking to be born within you?

• Which projects do you wish to prioritize?

• What actions can you take to ensure the projects most dear to your heart come to fruition?

• How can you recognize the light in every shadow?

I hope you’ll enjoy the guidance in this episode, Beloved, and find beauty in the blossoming. May you experience the transformational power and magic of the Spring Equinox and allow your mind, body, and spirit to prepare for the warmth of Summer, and receive the light as it comes to you.

Let’s have a quick chat about how to practice self-compassion through life’s challenges, it’s not always easy to be there for yourself, to love yourself unconditionally, and be kind to yourself. This is an invitation to just pause, reflect, and realize that you are doing the best you can right now.

Beloveds, being there for yourself is of the utmost importance. We all go through seasons in life, some may be more challenging than others, and some may teach us lessons we desperately need to learn; but holding space for yourself during these times can affect your energy and how you work through these journeys. 

When we practice unconditional self-love, and hold space for ourselves, we invite others to do the same and even in the areas where we feel a lack of support from others, we can still rely on a strong foundation of self-compassion and self-support. 

The Importance of Self-Compassion is an article I wrote to give you a sense of WHY self-compassion is necessary and how you can implement that in your daily practices, I invite you to read it and ask yourself the following:

- How am I supporting myself?

- How can I show myself more compassion daily? 

- What is really hard right now? How can I acknowledge that?

Embracing yourself isn’t saying that everything is fine and you aren’t going to do the inner work, it is the act of saying that “I am enough” and “what I am doing is enough”, the stark difference is that you’re acknowledging all that’s affecting you from your environment to your past, to your inner child that might still need healing, but you’re accepting the fact that you are coping. The steps you are taking are enough and you can love yourself in the process of healing.

I don’t know about you, but I’ve found that we often love the idea of our destination but we forget to love our journey… loving each step because it is taking us closer to our future self. Showing yourself love, forgiveness, compassion, understanding, and kindness will allow your mind to soften around the self-criticism, the negativity we all are guilty of placing on ourselves.

You deserve to love yourself, practice self-compassion, and be kind to your heart, dear Divine Woman, you deserve to always give that love to yourself first.

I invite you to listen to this episode as a meditation, a time for reflection, and a time to sit with yourself. Surround yourself with light and love, and give yourself the break that you’ve desperately needed. You are doing your best, and I am so proud of you!

In this episode, we’ll discuss the meaning and self-inquiry that takes place during Imbolc, this is a beautiful midway point between the Winter Solstice and the Spring Equinox. Let’s take a look at what this means.

Imbolc, meaning "in the belly", is a traditional Gaelic festival and marks the midway point between winter and spring. Mother Nature is preparing for a new life in the coming months. Seeds are nestled into their beds and are growing each day. Animals are growing their young in their wombs to deliver in spring.

In the past few months, we’ve gone into the depths, journeyed through the cave with Mother Bear and Grandmother Spider from the time of the Autumn Equinox, then deeper into our ancestry in Samhain and further descending into the Winter Solstice. Now, in Imbolc, we receive this promise of light, this gift of what the spring will hold and we can sustain ourselves with the slivers of sunrays it brings.

This is a time to retrieve our gifts from the darkness, a time to slowly reflect on what intentions we’ve planted, and which of those have been or are now manifesting in our lives. In this episode, we’ll go over intentional questions for soul inquiry, to review what we’ve experienced and undergone in the darkness and how we can bring that into the light of spring. 

I invite you to get comfy, Beloved, get a candle, and a warm cuppa, and seat yourself in a calm space that invites you to listen with intent and welcomes reflection as you hold your pen and paper. Write these questions down, pause the episode in between these questions, and answer with sincerity. 

Imbolc invites us to meet our intentions and heal with action, slowly growing what we’ve planted and welcoming what we will reap soon. You may be looking at your self-care rituals, and how you can improve them, or perhaps you need to reflect on areas where you might still feel stagnant energy, and how you can let go of this and leave it in the darkness. Allow this time to give you inspiration, to clean the clutter from an emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual perspective. Align with what feels good and release what doesn’t. 

Beloved, the intentions you have sown during Winter Solstice are taking root and will soon bud into their full beauty. You've come so far already in your journey and all you have set out to accomplish is taking shape just beneath the surface. 

I invite you to listen to this episode as you prepare for Imbolc and allow yourself the space to feel good about what you’ve accomplished, and about what you have been able to heal and restore in the last few months. Be proud of your journey, Beloved. You’ve made it this far, and the Spring Equinox will start showing you just how far your journey has taken you! We’re almost in the light of the sun.

Beloved, in this episode I invite you to a 40-day self-love meditation challenge, we’ll call it a challenge but it’s really just a commitment to yourself.

Do you long to re-align with yourself this year?
Do you want to come home to yourself in 2023?

In order to align with yourself, your ideals, goals, and the life you truly want to live you need to be connected with yourself. What’s beautiful is that the journey of coming home to ourselves is the same as connecting with Spirit. The more we connect with Spirit, with Source, the more we are connected to ourselves.

This 40-day self-love meditation challenge will cultivate a space of love, appreciation, and compassion for yourself, value and appreciate yourself without judgment, and create a welcoming thought pattern whenever you think of yourself. This will allow you to create the love you deserve for yourself in this new year.

Being compassionate toward yourself is vital, Beloved, it allows you to be kind to yourself, forgive yourself and be there for yourself in ways you’ve always longed for from others. Think of yourself as the starting point, if you already contain all the love for yourself, kindness and acceptance then you’ll spend a lot less time looking for validation from others. If you’d like to learn more about The Importance of Self-Compassion I invite you to read the blog post I have on it. 

Come home to yourself, align with yourself, and truly love yourself with this meditation.
Do this for forty days, allow yourself to fall into that rhythm, and welcome this as a more permanent practice in your life if it feels good to you!
