the gritty synthesis of holistic, soul-led entrepreneurs w— Portia Barnett-Herrin 💐16 oct. 202501:09:18

Today, I’m joined by my dear friend Portia for a conversation about naming and embodying the sacred roles that shape our work.

We explore the challenge of finding words that honor what we do without diminishing it.

Then we trace the paths of the teacher, priestess, jester, and more — slowly weaving the webs that hold us in the world.

 

Healing work is essentially facilitating space in which people can meet the part of them that knows, and can touch the part of them that’s already whole. That’s all I’m ever trying to do. — grace allerdice

 

Portia is a London based filmmaker and coach. She works from a holistic perspective with flower essences to support anyone wanting to recalibrate emotional issues. She specialises in supporting freelancers, those navigating the creative industries and anyone moving into creative work. All her services can be found at www.newwoo.uk

we discuss —

  • What it means to be a teacher
  • Learning through presence
  • Comparing sacred work to the role of the jester
  • Venusian veneration
  • How grace stepped into the role of Priestess
  • Alchemical clarity + severity

the Mother in the Dark w— Clark Strand 02 oct. 202500:56:07

Clark Strand was a Zen Buddhist monk. Now he writes books of love poetry to Kali Ma and manifestos to the Dark.

In this conversation, we trace his spiritual path from childhood Protestantism through monasticism and massage school — ultimately leading him into deep devotion to the Divine Mother.

Listen in, as we step into the Dark together.

 

When She appeared to me, it made sense of everything all of a sudden. It really changed me. I stopped thinking the way I used to think. My understanding of the natural world, myself, my family, my relationships, Devotion, Beauty, Time itself. — Clark Strand

  

Clark Strand has been studying the world’s spiritual traditions for more than thirty years. The author of several books including Waking the Buddha, Meditation Without Gurus, Waking Up to the Dark and Now is the Hour of Her Return, Strand has written for The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, and the Washington Post/Newsweek “On Faith” blog. He is the founder of Way of the Rose, a growing nonsectarian rosary fellowship open to people of any spiritual background, with members around the world. He lives on a dark road with no streetlights in the southern Catskill Mountains.

we discuss —

  • the many paths of spiritual devotion
  • the patriarchal traditions of many world religions
  • how Clark encountered the Divine Mother
  • feeling safe in the dark
  • why Now is the hour
  • human civilization vs human culture
  • the power of simple-hearted devotion
  • writing poems for Kali
  • remembering our birdsong

🦢 becoming a Lover: the Devotional work of Partnership04 sept. 202500:49:44

Intimate relationships are a magnifying glass and a mirror for how we meet life itself, but most relationship advice focuses on behavior control rather than the deeper spiritual transformation that devotional partnership requires. 

Listen in, as I break down the most common patterns I see blocking authentic intimacy and why becoming a lover is the big spiritual work.

"With enough devotion, ANY THING and ANY MOMENT and ANY CHAPTER of your relationship can become a sacred site." — grace allerdice

we discuss —

  • The perfect partner fantasy and how comparing your relationship to an imaginary ideal perpetuates unworthiness and punishment cycles
  • Why commitment alone doesn't make relationships rewarding and why time alone doesn't heal them
  • The independence and self love trap that blocks true intimacy
  • How projecting cultural narratives onto your partner recreates toxic dynamics
  • Your partner can read your energy, I promise
  • Being vs. doing: the energetic work that transforms relationships from the inside out
  • Why radical acceptance is ground zero

erotic devotion for modern mystics07 août 202500:43:23

In this episode, grace traces her journey over the past six years — from ego death to erotic devotion and shares more about the driving forces behind her work these days.

If you’re curious about: embodying paradox, touching Life as your full Self, and the path of the alchemical Feminine, this episode is for you.

Thank you for listening. 

 

All of your contradictions are welcome, because they are the essential ingredient. They are not to be avoided or bypassed. You are called to be a poetic, embodied paradox. — grace allerdice

 

we explore —

  • How an epic failure and ego death led grace to start home—body
  • Embracing the position of priestess
  • Reclaiming your spiritual imagination
  • Eroticism and relational wholeness
  • Existing at the edges and intersections
  • Mary Magdalene and Freedom as an inside job

  • Finding the hologram at the center of your Center

finding your true Gift03 juil. 202500:44:34

What were you born to give? And how do you live into your fullest expression?

In this episode, grace guides you down the path and offers some clues for recognizing your life’s work. She explains why a career counselor probably can’t be your guide for this, and she gently reflects that this isn’t about saving the world.

If you’re ready to refine how you relate to your life’s work and move more exquisitely into your life’s Beauty, this episode is for you.


"Do flowers have a mission? Maybe they do. But it’s not a statement they write about or defend. It is intricately and unspeakably woven into how and who they be. They are exquisitely and precisely expressed in their full beauty, their full temporality at the right time and the exact right place." — grace allerdice


we discuss —

  • Reframing your life’s work as what you were born to give
  • The overarching economy of unfulfilled getting
  • Lessons from the fully expressed flower
  • Detoxing the word “mission”
  • Why saving the world isn’t your calling
  • Releasing the fear of Death as fuel for your work
  • What masks as Compassion + how to more authentically be with
  • Why your connection to Beauty is more than enough

LOVE & the Power of Stories w— Michael J Morris05 juin 202501:26:04

Too often we think of the truth as an objective reality we find outside ourselves. But what if it’s actually a story we tell together?

Today we welcome Michael J Morris back to home—body for a soulful conversation about the stories we tell and how we tell them. We explore the nature of Beauty, Life and Time as we weave astrology, mysticism, physics and myth together.

What shifts for us in our day-to-day lives if we understand that what’s happening right now is part of countless cyclical stories unfolding at the same time? How then do we take action differently? — Michael J. Morris


Guest bio: Michael J. Morris is an astrologer, tarot reader, dance artist, writer, and educator. They began their consulting practice Co Witchcraft Offerings in 2019, through which they offer astrology and tarot consultations, movement-based rituals, and workshops to support people in cultivating personal and collective healing and liberation. They hold a PhD in Dance Studies from The Ohio State University, and they were a Visiting Assistant Professor at Denison University from 2015-2021. Michael’s work has been presented in galleries, universities, community spaces, theaters, bars and nightclubs, films, and domestic spaces.

we discuss —

  • Telling stories about the “end” of the world
  • How story situates us within Time
  • What truth is + isn’t
  • Astrology as an artistic practice
  • Stories of Beauty, Love + God
  • How the qualities of our lives tell a story
  • Resonance + dissonance
  • Loving the world exactly as it is
  • What breathing has to teach us about loving
  • Death as a story of Life

💫 beyond Good & Bad: a Tantric perspective01 mai 202500:41:12

What if your courageous voice is hiding behind your fear of being a “bad person”?

In this episode, grace explains how the sutra path of renunciation can leave us feeling unworthy and ashamed. And she explores how a tantra path can infuse our lives with more aliveness, worthiness and spiritual awareness.

If R.I.P. Good Girl struck a chord, this one’s for you.

Tune in to walk the sacred path of both/and.

 

Renouncing reality is a losing game if that is not authentically your path. — grace allerdice

 

we discuss —

  • why you feel bad trying to be good
  • Sutra vs Tantra
  • how renunciation can lead to repression + shame
  • grace’s journey “renouncing” social media
  • alchemy, initiation + the process of transformation
  • cultivating an orientation of “yes”
  • nuancing our understanding of how “Good” and “Evil” relate to each other

NOW is the Seed for Next 🌱03 avr. 202500:35:00

Our relationship to stories creates our understanding of time and what NOW means.

So in this episode, grace begins by looking at stories in two ways — stories as lenses and stories as magnets — to help us become more flexible and creative in the face of pessimism and cynicism.

Then she explores how softening our stories allows us to step into the currents of time and move at the pace of Life.

NOW is the Seed for Next. Listen in and join us.

Time is not fixed. Time is not set. The story is not already decided. The story is a writhing, alive, dancing, breathing snake. And so the more skillful we get with our energy, our spiritual practice, and our creative practice… the better we are able to dance and writhe with that snake. — grace allerdice

 

we discuss —

  • the stories we’re telling about our Selves and our lives
  • how story follows state + state creates story
  • why Now is the soil + the seed for what’s Next
  • what to do when the Story is an obstacle
  • the importance of quiet + making space to listen
  • why your pain is not your contribution
  • how to be supple + strong

RIP Good Girl 🪦06 mars 202500:48:46

What if you don’t have to “deserve” a beautiful life? But as long as you’re trying to be very, very good… you can’t actually have one?

In this episode, grace unravels the false promises of the “good girl” and invites you to release the belief that being good is how you get what you want.

Press play and let’s escape good girl jail together.

 

“My life didn’t truly begin until I put the good girl on the altar and let her get torn to shreds and eaten by wolves.” — grace allerdice

 

we discuss —

  • the many forms of “good girl jail”
  • how to release the dreams that keep us trapped
  • the three fears behind the good girl persona
  • projection + when victimhood becomes the wholes tory
  • how being a good girl blocks manifestation

Bonus : 🌳 Transform your Guilt13 févr. 202500:28:29

In this bonus episode, grace shares what's underneath the frustration, resentment, guilt and the plaguing sense that you're not doing enough to save the world.

This un-embodied paradox is probably why your business isn’t working, why your creations don’t have that sparkle, why your mission isn’t moving, your creativity is stagnant, or your relationship is just… ok.

Be sure to listen to the end, for a simple and portable embodiment practice to help you ground into the present moment.


“Your capacity and your prowess to embody the Beauty of the New Earth is more important than all the things you are DO-ing.” — grace allerdice

from Judgement to Mystery 🌀06 févr. 202500:44:42

On the spiritual path to becoming our Selves we must release dogma and court Mystery.

So many of us have been wounded by our experiences with religious institutions. We crave something bigger than certainty, but we’re only offered shallow identity markers and multiple-choice metaphysical “answers.”

For those of us who do leave church dogma, we often become steeped in political or scientific dogma. We turn to the superficial pleasures of judging others on social media, television and the internet.

Judgment and ideology is alive and well everywhere. But what if we left them behind and stepped toward Mystery?

Learn how to stop avoiding the Mysterious path and find the antidote to separation.
 

“We can’t really judge, because it’s a Mystery.” — grace allerdice

 
we discuss —

  • Why we choose judgement + ideology instead of uncertainty
  • What we’re really craving when we reach for God
  • How to embrace the path toward Mystery
  • “Everyone is God in drag.” — Ram Dass
  • Why your body is not better or worse than your spirit
  • Humble stewardship + discerning difference without judgement

The Initiation Deficit : Part 2 🏔️02 janv. 202500:30:20

Investigate what happens when we avoid initiation and how to recognize when we’re doing that. Through exploring the relationship between ego death, spiritual maturity, and our connection to greater Forces, we uncover why many people remain stuck in patterns of pain and projection. Learn why engaging initiation is crucial for personal growth and how avoiding it keeps us tethered to beliefs and behaviors that prevent true evolution.

“everything you want for this world, out of the beautiful innocent goodness of your Heart, can only manifest if… when… there is a Great Change in human consciousness.” — grace allerdice


we discuss —

  • The difference between spiritually mature individuals who embrace initiation versus those who avoid it
  • How lack of initiation keeps us stuck in adolescent emotional patterns
  • Why we struggle to connect with and embody powerful energies
  • The importance of death and rebirth cycles in spiritual transformation
  • How to recognize and respond to initiation when it appears in our lives
  • What is really behind the energy of initiation and what it could unlock

The Initiation Deficit : Part 1 🐦‍🔥05 déc. 202400:30:19

In this thought-provoking episode, we explore why true transformation is so challenging in dominant Western culture. We'll dive into the forgotten art of initiation - a powerful process that goes far beyond simple willpower or "knowing better." Learn why real change requires us to embrace death and uncertainty, and discover how our lack of proper initiation rituals may be keeping us stuck in patterns of reactivity and fear. Whether you're seeking personal growth, spiritual development, or simply wondering why New Year's resolutions never seem to stick, this episode offers fresh insights into the nature of authentic transformation and what it truly takes to evolve as human beings.

“Many people are being dragged toward wholeness in their daily lives, but because they do not understand initiation rites, they cannot make sense of what is happening to them.” — Marion Woodman


we discuss —

  • Change is not just about "knowing better"
  • Two crucial ingredients of initiation
  • Why many people struggle to make sense of their transformational experiences + resist growth
  • What the ego’s role is in all of this
  • What it means to come of age

Beauty is Everything ✨07 mars 202400:12:04

A few months ago I had a vision — that too many of us are living lives we regret, and it leaves us with endless longing and confusion.

When I asked for the antidote, the response was profound — Live a beautiful life. That’s all. Live a beautiful life.


In this episode, I share my vision and offer reflections on why beauty is everything.


Tune in for support and inspiration to release regret and align your life with truth + beauty.
 

“True beauty awakens awe. 
True beauty awakens love. 
True beauty awakens hope and meaning and wisdom. 
True beauty awakens surrender.” — grace allerdice

the Magic of the Third △25 janv. 202400:25:07

Today, I explore one of my personal codes and symbols – the number three and the concept of the third.

Three is always inviting me to go deeper and unpack more and more of its layers. It pulls me into a wider and greater understanding.

Tune in to this episode to learn how the three or the third gives us a code for understanding humanity’s current chapter, as well as how we can become more skillful in what seem to be increasingly polarized situations or realities.

“The third is not just playing the game. The third is making the game. It's creating the story, the orientation point from which we experience life from a different vantage and then we can hold a new truth.” — grace allerdice


Themes from the episode —

  • The polarization of duality
  • The wisdom of three
  • Becoming creators, not just players
  • Paradox as a truth
  • Planting seeds the world needs

Water as a Living Being w–Aishath Huda11 janv. 202400:43:26

Today Aishath Huda joins us to share her lifelong connection with water and how it has shaped her creative process and perception as an artist. In this conversation about art, nature, and experience, we explore the fluidity of more-than-human consciousness and the impact that abstracting water has on humanity and climate literacy.

“When we extract water, or reduce it to H2O, or categorize it as merely a utility and, ultimately, a commodity, we take the place out of water. And this influences how we perceive accountability and our sense of responsibility toward water and climate issues. I mean, climate issues are water issues. Water issues are climate issues.” — Aishath Huda


Aishath Huda is a Chicago-based visual artist from the Maldives. She makes work that investigates the relationship between bodies and the environment in both the local and the ecological sense. Her most recent work addresses the many ways water is abstracted through ethics and aesthetics, how this affects climate literacy, and how climate literacy is connected to human and more-than-human relations.


we discuss —

  • Huda’s life-long connection with water
  • Interacting and collaborating with water through art
  • Challenging logic that centers humans
  • Life informing art and art informing life
  • The commodification of water
  • The connection between Huda’s work and performance art

Orienting Toward Your Destiny Through Stone Medicine Healing w—Sarah Thomas21 déc. 202300:36:32

We’re joined by long-time stone medicine alchemist and healer, Sarah Thomas. Together we delve into the ancestral healing power of stones and crystals and how they can help us on the journey to the fulfillment of destiny.

“Crystals are like the bones of the earth. And if you follow their resonance, that is really deep medicine. So we use this for really deep things, really chronic things, things that have been going on for a long time, hidden things, really getting at the roots of disease and spiritual origins of disease.” — Sarah Thomas


Sarah, whose secret name is Star Wolf, is a healer, acupuncturist and educator who is immersed in the clinical and academic experience of ancient stone medicine and future crystal technologies. Sarah is the lead instructor at the Upper Clarity School and founded North Carolina's first mineral studies program. Sarah's Dao is to resurrect the vast and uncharted potential of healing and awakening with stones.


we discuss —

  • How crystals embody universal connection
  • Bridging together ancient stone medicine and future crystal technologies
  • Deep medicine & the roots of disease
  • The ethics of gathering crystals
  • Sarah’s meaning of Dao and destiny
  • How to start intentional work with stones and crystals

Unveiling the Cosmos w—Amaya Rourke23 nov. 202301:04:28

Today, we welcome folk witch, astrologer + spirit worker Amaya Rourke to share her knowledge about how lunar cycles, fixed stars and the force of water shape our lives.

Amaya begins the episode with stories of ancient civilizations’ connection to the night sky and cosmic ocean. Then we reflect on the power of fluidity and surrender, and consider how moon cycles can guide and transform our lives. We close with a discussion of fixed stars and their capacity to change our relationship with astrology.

“The longer I'm in astrology, the more I realize I don't have control. I can make my choices, and I can make the best choices available to me in that moment, and astrology can give me a really good window to understand what those choices are, but that doesn't guarantee specific results.” — Amaya Rourke


Amaya Rourke is an animist folk witch, astrologer, tarot reader, spirit worker, and folk herbalist. Her work guides others called to a wild witchcraft that straddles the seen and unseen worlds, traveling the moonlit and star studded crooked path of the bramble hedge. Rooted in historic folkways and updated for contemporary life, Amaya's praxis seeks to return to the interwoven cycles of the Moon, fixed stars, and living Earth. She has been a featured guest on many podcasts, a writer for limited edition grimoires, Moon planners, and astrology magazines; and is a seasoned workshop writer and facilitator.

we discuss —

  • Contextualizing ancient understandings of astrology
  • How myth is informed by place
  • Water as a symbol of void and fluidity
  • Balancing control with surrender
  • The role of the moon as mediator
  • Astrological gardening
  • Relating to fixed stars

Together, we talk about connecting with the dead, the battle against matriarchal wisdom, and reclaiming both the power of the rosary and the significance of our relationship with the unknown.

Finn now teaches popular workshops on Getting to Know the Dead, in which participants are empowered to activate the magic in their own lives with the help of their ancestors. She is the author of Take Back the Magic: Conversations with the Unseen World and lives with her family in the moss-filled shadows of the Catskill Mountains.

From the first religious scriptures etched on Paleolithic cave walls to the transformation of icons into idols, Gabriela unpacks the layers of meaning behind these ancient artifacts while challenging us to view ancient cultures through their own lens, free from the limitations of a colonial perspective.

the Magician w— Sean Nguyen-Hilton + Hez Stalcup09 mars 202300:59:53

A conversation with two artists on the archetypal Major Arcana card The Magician.


Sean Nguyen-Hilton (they/them) is a Virgo Sun, Pisces Moon, + Leo Ascendant. Sean danced “professionally” for about two decades, and worked in higher ed for about four and a half years.* Sean is a tarot reader of 27 years and is currently studying Hellenistic astrology. Sean is a Co-Founder and Team Member of Fly on a Wall, an artist led platform that presents and supports process and performance. Sean invests in care, awareness, sensation, and love, all of which he practices through the lens of queer stamina, movement, and evolution.

Hez Stalcup is an experimental dance artist. He works with bodies, words, sound and objects. He makes dances. He is usually in them. He makes other things that maybe get seen. Most people think his work is about being queer or about gender, its only sometimes about either. Often he is dancing about time, failure and personhood with people he thinks are smart and funny and should be looked at. He doesn’t make beautiful dances per se, rather he thinks about what makes something outlandish and solitary enough that you want to love it forever.

Reframing Productivity as a Living System w— Amelia Hruby26 janv. 202300:55:12

Reframing productivity is a very January thing to do, yes? How can we release ourselves from the outer forces, inner voices, and productivity gurus driving us toward more-more-more? And when we do choose another path, how do we set up our work so that we actually bring our dreams to life — without getting lost in ambiguity, confusion or overwhelm?

“How do we strike the right balance of getting things done but while also feeling inspired + alive?”


I’m joined by Amelia Hruby, my friend, podcast producer + co-teacher of our upcoming course Living Systems. Together we discuss all things productivity through a feminist, ecology lens; and we share the systems + frameworks that allow us to live more in alignment with our internal rhythms, energetic capacities + ever-changing seasons.

This episode is for anyone who wants to do life, work + business your way, and needs support figuring out what your way really is.🌱

“A lot of us have embodied an industrial model for productivity that’s solely focused on maximizing output, profits, and extraction. But what if we did it in a more regenerative way? What if we did it in a way where we cared about the whole system, instead of trying to extract as much from ourselves and the things around us as possible?” — mary grace allerdice


we discuss —

  • Creating systems where we can’t help but flourish
  • What makes a system alive?
  • The difference between productivity culture (boo) + regenerative systems (yay)
  • How to identify friction points in your work
  • The foundational, resilient, clarifying power of the Earth element
  • Why we love Projects + how Projects help us bring our purpose to life
  • Projects as manifestation practice

Meditation for The Fool by Hez Stalcup29 déc. 202200:17:41

This episode is a meditation for The Fool card in the Tarot Major Arcana by experimental dance artist Hez Stalcup.

Hez is an experimental dance artist. He works with bodies, words, sound and objects. He makes dances. He is usually in them. He makes other things that maybe get seen. Most people think his work is about being queer or about gender, its only sometimes about either. Often he is dancing about time, failure and personhood with people he thinks are smart and funny and should be looked at. He doesn’t make beautiful dances per se, rather he thinks about what makes something outlandish and solitary enough that you want to love it forever.

You Deserve Enchantment w—Natalie Eslick15 déc. 202201:00:58

Fine artist + educator Natalie Eslick joins us to talk about leaving her muggle job and finding enchantment as she pursued her creative practice. We talk about the power of creativity to help us be more resilient in the face of uncertainty and loneliness; and Natalie shares how the wild can keep us from missing out on our one precious life.

“Enchantment wriggled its way into my hardened heart through the simple act of observing wildness.”


Natalie is an Australian fine artist and educator whose work is steeped in connection to nature, rooting into place, and reciprocal relationships with the wild world. Her work evokes compassion, kindness, and connection to the intrinsic magic of nature and the inherent wisdom of Earth’s flora and fauna. Natalie's background in psychology, human rights, and decades of service to her local community lead her to seek an extraordinary life, to cherish moments of peace and connection with trees and wild beings, to encourage curiosity and wonder, and to value compassion and creative beauty as empowering, and worth pursuing.


we discuss —

  • How creativity can help us grapple with uncertainty + perfectionism
  • How to make more space for creativity by feeding connection (yes, even if your muggle life is so demanding!)
  • How Natalie transitioned to a full-time creative career after 30 years of working a “normal” job
  • How the wild is our teacher for how we can be and how to not miss out on our life
  • Why you deserve enchantment in your life + how to invite more of it
