The Interstitial: 5 Ways We Deny Our Power
14 avr. 2026
00:24:36
In this final farewell episode, I share my thoughts on five specific ways women can cut ourselves off from our own power - plus share my reflections on hosting this show for the last 6 years. A few takeaways:
Denying our deepest desires is often fueled by an understandable fear of losing the relationships we feel are most important to us, but doing so also comes at a great cost to our soul's growth
Embodied wisdom is available to all of us, but takes practice and repetition to hear and access
Why so many women are afraid to fully feel our emotions - and the benefits from actually letting them flow through us instead
Cultivating relationships with land, ancestors, and the unseen realms takes patience and practice, and can make our journeys much less difficult
The incredible benefits of living from a place of truth, authenticity, and power, plus how this often looks different from how we might imagine power to show up.
So much gratitude to all who have tuned in to this show over the years! Wishing you so many blessings on your journey. I'm still offering 1:1 coaching, and can be reached via my website: www.hometoher.com

The Power of Wise Women with Dominique Debroux
02 mars 2026
00:51:53
On the latest episode I’m joined by Dominique Debroux, a producer, entrepreneur, and nutritional chef whose work bridges storytelling, science, and women’s empowerment. She is also the producer of the new documentary Wise Women – Humanity’s Untold Origins, reframing menopause as the evolutionary foundation of female leadership. Through her film, food ventures, and advocacy, she champions women’s vitality and visibility in midlife.
During our conversation, we cover:
The misunderstood role of menopause in human evolution, and why it’s important to understand it not as nature’s mistake, but as an important evolutionary development that uniquely positions women to lead later in life
Dominique’s revelatory experience of God at the age of six, and how it shaped her spiritual journey, including her understanding of the Sacred Feminine
Dominique’s own journey through perimenopause and menopause, and how it ultimately inspired the film Wise Women.
The devastating impact of patriarchy, and how we might envision a different, more balanced future
The power of inner wisdom, self-permission and why it’s more important than ever that we claim our voices.
We also referenced the Bonobo Sisterhood by Diane Rosenfeld, and The Creation of Patriarchy, by Gerda Lerner

The Interstitial: Channeling Your Sacred Rage
17 févr. 2026
00:24:03
On the latest Interstitial episode, we get into the collective rage among women regarding the Epstein files, the systemic, historical suppression of women's voices, and what we can do about it, including five actionable steps to channel that energy effectively right now:
Tell yourself the truth
Understand what silencing yourself might be costing you
Give men grace (not a pass)
Divest yourself from male opinions and leadership
Invest your time, energy and resources in women's voices, perspectives and visions
We have more power than we think; it's time to use it.

The Sure Thing: Prioritizing Pleasure with Elana Auerbach
03 févr. 2026
00:56:35
The first episode of 2026 is here! I'm joined by my longtime friend and mentor Elana Auerbach, a lover, mother, mentor, activist, and priestess, and the author of the new book The Sure Thing: A Pleasure Practice to Revive the Spark.
On this episode, we discuss:
Elana's spiritual journey, and the braided path of her spiritual experiences with Judaism, the Divine Feminine and as a longtime student of Zen
Her own awakening to the Sacred Feminine, beginning with a brief mystical experience during her Bat Mitzvah, and continuing through her training with the 13 Moon Mystery School
Her exploration of pleasure as a sacred practice, including the experiences that led to her meeting her now-husband, their brief time spent in a sex cult, and how the Sure Thing was born out of a desire to rekindle intimacy and connection after many years of marriage
How shame and uncertainty often block women's embrace of pleasure - and how we can address this
Why embracing pleasure can be seen as a radical and celebratory form of activism, and how it can sustain us during difficult times.

The Interstitial: How We Become Free
10 déc. 2025
00:14:17
On this short Interstitial episode, I riff on what’s been alive for me since my most recent conversations with Sophie Messager (on reclaiming drumming) and Ash Stinson (on embodiment and listening to the body). Jumping off from these dialogues, I'm holding a a central question here: How do we, as women, become truly free within systems that were never designed with us in mind?
Key Points:
My own understanding of liberation in three parts - awakening, reckoning with inequities, and consciously choosing how to operate within toxic systems, including determining how and when to withdraw consent
What it means to awaken to the reality that most systems were built without the participation and input of women
The importance of taking time moving through the emotions that arise - but also moving on when ready
The tricky dance between participating in systems while you have to, while honestly assessing your available power to enact change
Key Questions to Consider:
Am I waiting for permission to show up differently?
Am I waiting for it to feel easy or comfortable before I follow my truth?
Do I actually have more freedom and power than I’m giving myself credit for?

The Realms of Embodiment with Ash Stinson
10 nov. 2025
00:58:17
The Realms of Embodiment with Ash Stinson
On this episode – which has been in the making for a long time – Ash Stinson and I explore the profound themes of the sacred feminine, embodiment, and the intricate layers of wisdom held within our bodies. Ash is an energy worker, a creator, a deep feeler and a deep thinker, a parent, and an expert on healing through the energy of your anatomy.
Ash's personal and professional life functionally revolves around one question: What gives us a sense of place? She studied and worked in Environmental Science, habitat preservation, and Landscape Architecture until her Saturn Return coupled with a twin pregnancy catapulted her into postpartum PTSD, and she finally got the cosmic memo – you can't create belonging in your backyard if you're lost in your own skin.
A decade of study, Reiki Master level certification, apprenticeship with her ancestors, and a certification in Integrative Somatic Trauma Therapy later, Energy Archaeology and the Realms of Embodiment were born. Ash now spends her days exploring the energetic anatomy and morphology of the body, from the bones, muscles, fluid systems, organs, nervous system, and DNA and translating it so you can understand your mythosomatic self and belonging within the wider energetic fabric of life.
We dive deep on this episode, exploring:
· Ash’s own personal and spiritual background, including the traumatic experience of her own birth and how it ultimately prepared her for the work she does now
· How the Realms of Embodiment – Ash’s current work – was born out of an initial exploration of Reiki following a challenging birth experience with her twins
· The different areas of the Realms of Embodiment, and what each has to teach us
· Why it’s not so simple to just “listen to your body”
· The “yes-and” approach to embracing the wisdom of energy medicine and Western medicine
· Ash’s simple, three-step process to begin listening to your own body

Picking Up the Drum with Sophie Messager
21 oct. 2025
00:57:10
In this particularly rich conversation, I’m joined by Sophie Messager, author of the new book The Beat of Your Own Drum (Womancraft Publishing). A former reproductive physiologist with a PhD, Sophie traded her microscope for a medicine drum after experiencing the transformative power of an empowered birth. Her decade-long journey as a doula, birth educator, and author of Why Postnatal Recovery Matters deepened her exploration of the rhythms surrounding women’s transitions.
Now a holistic life transition mentor, Sophie guides women through significant life thresholds – from birth to perimenopause and beyond. Her unique combination of scientific expertise and spiritual insight allows her to serve as a compassionate space holder for those seeking to harmonise their analytical and intuitive selves.
On this episode we explore:
The complex and intersecting themes of sacred feminine wisdom
The journey of reclaiming women's power, and the transformative role of drumming in spiritual practices
Sophie’s personal experiences from her Catholic upbringing to her journey as a doula and holistic life transition mentor
The historical context of women's roles in drumming and spirituality, and how reclaiming this practice can be an essential step for women in owning their voices and power in a patriarchal society.
Key Takeaways
Sacred Feminine wisdom is applicable in all areas of life.
Understanding women's power from a feminine lens is crucial, and women’s sacred stories can help us do this.
Sophie fascinating journey from science to holistic practices, and how it demonstrates that we can hold space for both.
Drumming can be a powerful tool for women's empowerment.
While the history of women and drumming is often overlooked, it’s real – and your birthright to know about.
While women often feel scared to drum due to ancestral trauma, trusting yourself is the key to spiritual growth and personal evolution.
Creating your own drum can be a transformative experience – but you can also start with a storebought one. You don’t need lessons or a prescriptive path to start.

The Interstitial: Magic and Purpose
16 oct. 2025
00:10:30
Introducing The Interstitial: short episodes intended to explore the spaces in between the last episode and the next.
My latest conversation with Danielle Dulsky got me thinking about two things: magic and purpose. Here I consider the role of magic in our lives, as well as what it means to lean into our singular purpose during times of chaos and change.
Key Takeaways:
Magic can empower us to co-create our lives.
We control the stories we tell about our experiences.
Reclaiming our relationship with magic is a deeply human and feminine act.
In chaotic times, focus on what is yours to do.
Purpose can manifest in various forms, not just one.
Living with care and presence is sufficient.
Our contributions are part of a larger narrative.
The divine feminine operates in deep time and rhythms.
Trusting our guidance is essential for personal growth.

On this episode, I’m joined again by Danielle Dulsky, a prior Home to Her guest, as we explore the themes of women's wisdom, the significance of fairy tales, and the role of storytelling in shaping our understanding of the world. Danielle’s new book, The Night House: Folklore, Fairy Tales, Rites, and Magick for the Wise and Wild, serves as a focal point for our discussion, as we consider the connection between creativity, magic, and the feminine experience. We also talk about the hidden and sometimes subversive power within fairy tales, the importance of shadow work, and how these stories can help us navigate the complexities of modern life. We also talk about why Danielle believes we each have one important thing to do in this lifetime, and why it’s so important to protect our creative potential in these uncertain times. As Danielle says, “we need to get weirder.”
Key Takeaways
· Everything we know about power has been defined by cultural structures.
· Women's wisdom and power have been minimized and pushed underground.
· Fairy tales hold hidden wisdom and power for women.
· The Night House explores the connection between fairy tales and women's experiences.
· Stories can be a way to access and embody our full power.
· The structure of The Night House reflects a journey through shadow and light.
· Asking questions about stories reveals insights about our lives.
· The current cultural moment calls for a return to women's wisdom.
· Magic exists in subtle forms and is often dismissed in modern culture.
· Storytelling shapes our understanding of the world.
· Finding our purpose and protecting our creative potential are two of the most important things we can do during these uncertain times
· Embracing our own weirdness is the key to coming up with new solutions for all the challenges facing us
Sound bites
"Fairy tales hold hidden wisdom and power for women."
"Storytelling shapes our understanding of the world."
"Embrace the weirdness of life."

* Cultural structures have historically excluded women's input on power

* Sex and pleasure are integral to understanding feminine wisdom.
* Cultural narratives often vilify women's sexuality and pleasure and have done so for a great deal of recorded history.
* Creating safe spaces is essential for exploring sexuality.

Finding the Feminine at Work with Rebecca Korn
07 sept. 2025
00:54:11
On the latest episode I'm joined by Rebecca Korn, a former ballerina and pre-med prodigy turned powerhouse wealth strategist. After flipping personal heartbreak into a mission, she now guides women to outplay patriarchal money systems and build seven-figure futures—combining feminine embodiment with iron-clad strategy. Through her company, Rise Reign Rule, her work has already minted five millionaires, with more on the way.
Key takeaways
The sacred feminine is a powerful force that can guide women in their personal and professional lives.
Money should be viewed as an exchange of energy, not a source of stress or shame.
Women often excel at giving but struggle with receiving; it's essential to practice receiving.
Balancing masculine and feminine energies is crucial for personal empowerment and success.
The journey of self-discovery often involves embracing both the feminine and masculine aspects of oneself.
Creating structure in one's life can enhance the flow of feminine energy.
Emergence is a vital aspect of the feminine; allowing space for creativity and intuition is essential.
Why we need to stop waiting for permission to take up space or assert our needs.
The relationship with money can be transformed by viewing it as a tool for empowerment and connection.

On this episode, I'm joined by Rebe Huntman, a memoirist, essayist, dancer, teacher, and poet who writes at the intersections of feminism, world religion and spirituality. For over a decade she directed Chicago’s award-winning Danza Viva Center for World Dance, Art & Music and its dance company, One World Dance Theater. Huntman collaborates with native artists in Cuba and South America, has been featured in Latina Magazine, Chicago Magazine, and the Chicago Tribune, and has appeared on Fox and ABC. She is also the author of a new memoir, My Mother in Havana, about her explorations in seeking not only her human mother, who died when she was 19, but also a deeper relationship with the Divine Mother.
On this episode we discuss:
How Rebe’s path to the Sacred Feminine revealed itself through her evolving relationship with Latin dance – including how she discovered that the dances themselves were originally invitations to the gods
Rebe’s transformational journey in Cuba, including her experiences meeting the Orisha Oshun, and Our Lady of Charity of El Cobre
How Oshun, who originates from the West African Yoruba tradition, and Our Lady, who is considered an apparition of the Virgin Mary, are syncretized – and how this merging can give us a more holistic vision of mothers and women in general
Rebe’s evolving relationship with her deceased mother, and why it’s both normal and natural to call on our deceased loved ones for support
Notes related to this episode:
You can learn more about Rebe and her book at her website, www.rebehuntman.com.
You can also find her on social media: Instagram @rebehuntman; Facebook @rebehuntmanauthor.
We discussed the books the Chalice and the Blade, by Riane Eisler, as well as Women Who Run with the Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estes.

The Flow State of the Feminine with Ixchel Munay
27 févr. 2025
00:57:49
On episode 100 of the Home to Her podcast, I'm joined by Ixchel Munay, who has spent more than 20 years walking the path of plant medicine, conscious living and supporting thousands of people around the world in her immersions and sessions to come home to themselves. Through her work, Ixchel draws upon her initiations with yoga, meditation, tantra, shamanism, magic, somatic therapy, dance, breath work, NLP, non-violent communication, permaculture, natural medicine, neuroscience and more. She’s spent nearly the past 20 years of her life based in Bali, the mystical land of her father’s ancestors. For the past four years she’s been spending half the year in Costa Rica devoted to creating Yacumama ("Mother of Water") - a regenerative community land project that hosts transformational experiences.
On this episode we discuss:
Ixchel's introduction to the Sacred Feminine via her experience meeting Amma, the hugging saint, and her work with a tantric master in Bali
Her experience with plant medicines and the value they offer us currently, as well as why it's so important to approach them medicine with respect and via a credible teacher
Why she believes the feminine is the flow state that athletes describe, and how when we step into it, our divine path unfolds much more easily
The ways women have been disconnected from our bodies, particularly through birth control and medicated childbirth
Her work with Yacumama, and her vision for it in terms of land regeneration and as a cultural center to preserve and teach indigenous ways of being
Notes related to this episode:
You can learn all about the upcoming programs at Yacumama here, including an upcoming wellness retreat for women, here: https://www.yacumama.love/ and on Instagram @yacumamaecovillage
Ixchel and I talked about our experiences with Amma, the hugging saint. You can learn more about her here: https://amma.org/

A Holy Shekhinah for Our Times with Joy Ladin
12 févr. 2025
01:04:47
On the first episode of 2025, I'm joined by repeat guest Joy Ladin. Joy is a widely published essayist and poet, literary scholar, and nationally known speaker on transgender issues. From 2003 to 2021, she held the David and Ruth Gotsman Chair in English at Stern College for Women of Yeshiva University.
Her gender transition and return to teaching in 2008 made her the first openly transgender employee of an Orthodox Jewish institution. Joy's experience of being poetically mentored by the Shekinah resulted in the completion of a book length sequence, Shekinah Speaks, published by Selva Obscura in spring 2022, which she joined me to speak about on this podcast in 2023. She's published several other books, including, most recently, a new book of poetry, Family, and Once Out of Nature, selected essays on the transformation of gender. And she is the recipient of the National Jewish Book Award for The Book of Anna.
On this episode, we riff about:
The concept of family, at both the individual and national levels
How our personal narratives help us make meaning in our daily lives
How Joy's understanding of the Shekhinah, the indwelling presence of God typically gendered as female, has shifted since our first conversation in 2023
The role of gender binaries in helping us relate to divinity
Joy's perspective on the historical need for a transcendent God, and how both Jesus and the Shekhinah were responses to His limitations
What the Shekhinah can offer us in this particular moment in time

Women Who Future with Sande Hart
16 déc. 2024
00:55:16
On the latest episode, I'm joined by Sande Hart, a mother, grandmother and founder of The Global Woman's Village woman's organization, formally known as S.A.R.A.H. (The Spiritual and Religious Alliance for Hope) now in its 23rd year. She is also the Author of The Liminal Odyssey, The Alchemical Power of The Spaces In-Between, (also a Nautilus Book Awardee)
Sande is actively engaged in leadership in the peace, compassion, community building, and women’s re- and in-powerment sectors. Her most recent work is in service to the role of women in this evolutionary impulse we are in during these transitional times. She served on the Women's Task Force for The Parliament of The World's Religions and developed and produced the first-ever Women's Village at the 2023 international conference. She founded and served as Director for the international organization The Charter For Compassion’s Women and Girls sector as creator and director of the 9th sector of the international organization focused on compassion. And she is the Founder of Compassionate California, which recently became established into law by the governor’s office as the first Compassionate State in the world.
During our conversation, we explore:
Sande's multi-decade journey toward recognizing the presence of the Sacred Feminine in her life, including the flickers of Her presence along the way
How Sande came to fully recognize Her through her work shepherding the Women's Village at the Parliament of the World's Religions.
The evolution of her non-profit organization S.A.R.A.H., including her more recent focus on "women who future," and what this language means to her
The powerful message that she received while visiting Auschwitz, which brought us both to tears during the culmination of this inspiring episode

Transforming a Paradigm of Domination with Riane Eisler
18 nov. 2024
01:00:29
On the latest episode, I'm joined by legendary systems scientist, futurist and cultural historian Dr. Riane Eisler. Riane is the recipient of many honors, such as the Distinguished Peace Leadership Award earlier given to the Dalai Lama, and is the author of many books, including The Chalice and the Blade, now in its 57th US printing and 27 foreign editions, The Real Wealth of Nations, hailed by Nobel Peace Laureate Desmond Tutu as "a template for the better world we have been so urgently seeking," and Nurturing Our Humanity, Oxford University Press, 2019, co-authored with Douglas P. Fry.
Riane’s innovative whole-systems research offers new perspectives and practical tools for constructing a less violent, more egalitarian, gender-balanced, and sustainable future. She is the President of the Center for Partnership Systems, which provides practical applications of her work, and Editor in Chief of the online Interdisciplinary Journal of Partnership Studiespublished at the University of Minnesota.
On this episode, we discuss:
Riane's early childhood experience as a Jewish refugee whose family fled Austria to escape the Nazis, and how that experience, as well as the loss of many family members during the Holocaust, caused her to question her understanding of God
The difference between cultures of domination and partnership cultures, which she outlines in her groundbreaking work The Chalice and the Blade, and the shifts she's seen in culture since the book was first published
The subtle pervasiveness of dominator culture, and how we can find it rooted in our language, as well as all the underpinnings of society
Riane's focus on violence in the home, and how it directly correlates to violence in other aspects of society
Plus, we riff on the magic of snakes and their ancient connections to the Divine Feminine (always a favorite topic of mine!)
Notes related to this episode:

00:42:13
On this episode I'm joined by Byron Ballard, author and co-founder of the Mother Grove Goddess Temple, and Amelia "Mia" Solesky, Mother Grove's Mycelium Mama, AKA volunteer coordinator, to discuss the environmental crisis in Western North Carolina in the wake of Hurricane Helene, and what a community-centered, Goddess-inspired response looks like.
During this special episode we discuss:
The scope of devastation in Western North Carolina, and why it's important for outsiders to stay away from the area
How the community, including the Mother Grove Goddess Temple is organizing itself and collaborating with other community members to provide grass roots support
Why it's important to take our responses offline and physically into our communities, however we can

The Mystery Tradition of Miraculous Conception with Dr. Marguerite Rigoglioso
04 août 2024
01:00:03
What if virgin birth isn't simply a story, but a real and documented ancient phenomenon? This is the topic I explore in the latest episode with my guest today, Dr. Marguerite Rigoglioso. Marguerite is the founder of Seven Sisters Mystery School, a world-renowned teacher of sacred knowledge, and the foremost authority on the history of virgin birth. A trusted mentor to people on healing and spiritual paths, she draws on her decades-long research and experiences with Mother Mary and Mary Magdalene to help uncover their hidden, timeless teachings and apply them to our present-day needs.

In this episode we discuss:
Marguerite's introduction to the Sacred Feminine, first through her interest in Mary Magdalene during her upbringing in the Catholic Church, and later through classes and Goddess pilgrimages which eventually led her to academia
Marguerite's research into the history of virgin and divine births in Ancient Greece, and how this eventually led her to studying the story and history of Mary's birth of Jesus
Why the practice of virgin birth existed and how it was practiced by divine priestesses
The work of the late Sri Kaleshwar and his teachings on the holy womb chakra
Why Marguerite feels this information is coming to the forefront of consciousness at this moment in time

Feral Church with Byron Ballard
05 juil. 2024
00:59:52
My latest guest, H. Byron Ballard, joins me on this episode for her second visit to the Home to Her podcast. Byron is a ritualist, teacher, gardener, and author of multiple books, including "Staubs and Ditchwater: A Friendly and Useful Introduction to Hillfolks’ Hoodoo;" "Earthworks: Ceremonies in Tower Time;" "Seasons of a Magical Life;" and the forthcoming "Feral Church." Known as Asheville, North Carolina’s village witch, Byron specializes in folk magic and folkways of the surrounding Appalachian Mountains where she and her family have hailed from for four generations. Byron is also a senior priestess and co-founder of the Mother Grove Goddess Temple, a nonprofit church with a focus on the many forms of the divine feminine.
On this episode we discuss:
What it means to live in deep relationship to place - both the gifts and the challenges
How the work and the death of the late thealogian Dr. Carol P. Christ inspired Byron's forthcoming book, Feral Church, and why she feels it's so important that we have new books of thealogy (spelling intentional) that celebrate the Goddess
Why it's important that we understand that the Goddess and her many incarnations represent much more than patriarchally lauded values such as softness and femininity, but also ferocity and immense power.
The linkage between the concept of begin feral and the Divine Feminine.
The need for "hearth church" and other homegrown, emergent practices for engaging with the sacred that can continue to exist and flourish as patriarchal systems crumble around us
Byron discussed the late Carol P. Christ, and the importance of her work. Her essay "Why Women Need the Goddess" is an excellent introduction to her work: https://www.goddessariadne.org/why-wo...
Byron mentioned the Unitarian Universalist curriculum, "Cakes for the Queen of Heaven"

Journey to the Goddess with Annalisa Derr
21 juin 2024
01:00:58
On the latest episode I'm joined by Dr. Annalisa Derr, a goddess educator, Sacred Feminine embodiment teacher, and ritual theatre creatrix. Annalisa completed her doctorate in Mythological Studies with Emphasis in Depth Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute. She also holds a BA in Theater with specialized training in masked and physical theater from international master teachers in Italy, India, and NYC. Annalisa's work explores the impact that negative cultural menstrual “myths” have on women, which her forthcoming book will explore in more detail. Annalisa offers an affirming alternative in the form of an ancient myth, “The Descent of Inanna,” which she re-visions as a sacred menstrual narrative and ritual rite-of-passage.
During this episode we discuss:
Annalisa's experience growing up in a Lutheran church, including the connection she made later between devotional Christian hymns and the Bhakti yoga tradition
The near total erasure of the Sacred Feminine in Protestantism, and why discovering Her can feel like such a revelation for many of us
How discovering Mary Magdalene sparked Annalisa's ongoing journey to the Goddess and led her to her current research
What Annalisa refers to as the menstrual mysteries, and how the Inanna myth teaches us about them and the nature of the Goddess Herself - as a gateway through the lessons of birth, death, and rebirth
Annalisa's pending move to Greece and her vision for supporting the reemergence of the Sacred Feminine in patriarchal strongholds
And a bonus - Annalisa becomes the third guest in the history of the show to bring me to tears (in a really good way)! Tune in to find out why.

Say Wow with Chelan Harkin
06 juin 2024
00:59:03
On this episode I'm so honored to be joined by the poet Chelan Harkin. Chelan's poetry journey began at age 21 on the heels of a traumatic event, a mystical event and an unparalleled creative opening where inspired verse started to pour through her with very little need for editing. Her experience with channeling the muse was profound and intimate but also quite private. It took Chelan 12 years to find the courage to share her poetry with the world through her first self-published book, "Susceptible to Light". This publishing journey that began at the end of 2020 has been something of a magic carpet ride characterized by prayer experiments gone right and has included some of the most awe-inspiring events that have completely shifted Chelan’s way of relating to herself and the world.

Her provocative theory that women invented religion, based on the experience of the female orgasm
The shifts she's witnessed in the Goddess movement, and where she thinks we're headed now

Her formative experiences in a fundamentalist Christian church, and why she believes we choose the families that will wound us in exactly the right way for our own growth
How she met the Goddess during time spent in Ireland as a young woman
What it means for her to embrace the term "heathen," and how she sees it as living on "untamed spiritual ground"

* Arundhathi's relationship with her spiritual teacher, Sadhguru, Western misconceptions about the role of a guru, and why any credible spiritual teacher should be guiding you back to your most authentic self
* Her understanding of the Goddess, including Her intimacy as well as Her cosmic, universal nature, and why so often, She is pointing us not to either-or answers, but a "yes-and" understanding of life

The Paradox of the Goddess with Damascena Tanis
26 déc. 2023
01:17:59
When we begin to learn about the Sacred Feminine, many of us quickly realize that She is much more than we have imagined Her to be - and that Her nature is fundamentally contradictory. As Damascena Tanis, my guest for this episode, says, to work with the Goddess is to be repeatedly invited into paradox. Damascena is a writer, astrologer, and a recently bereaved mother, living on the shores of Lake Erie with three earth bound children. She is currently learning how to be the mother of a child who has journeyed beyond the veil. She is also the Founder of the Planetary Priestess Mystery School, devoted to Venus.
In this episode, we discuss the paradox of the Goddess, as well as:
Damascena's spiritual awakening as a pregnant 15-year-old, and what it taught her about the Sacred Feminine
How living in Palestine as a young mother initiated her into a deeper understanding of the feminine
Damascena's work as an archetypal astrologer, and why she thinks it's important to explore what she considers the dimension beyond archetypes
The Venus cycle, its connection to the myth of the Inanna, and how it can guide our own inner journey of self-discovery
The lessons offered by deep grief, which Damascena experienced through the death of her son
Understanding the current conflict in Gaza through the lens of astrology

Fostering Intersectionality: A Panel Discussion
12 déc. 2023
01:02:18
What does it mean to foster intersectionality in traditions that honor the Sacred Feminine? How do we make space for the differences we find in each other in spiritual community, and also within ourselves?

Artemis: A Goddess for Our Times with Carla Ionescu
13 nov. 2023
01:04:22
When we spend time with the herstorical record of the Sacred Feminine, we might be surprised to find that some of the most well-known Goddesses are far more complex than we've been told. Such is the case with the Greek Goddess Artemis, who is the subject of my discussion with this episode's guest, Dr. Carla Ionescu. Carla’s research centers on the influential nature of Artemis across Anatolia, the Mediterranean and the Balkans. As one of the leading experts in the worship and ritual of the Goddess Artemis, Dr. Ionescu spends most of her time teaching in the field of Ancient History and Women’s Studies, and/or applying for grants to support her research travels. In the summers she scavenges new locations and cities worldwide, digging through the remains of grave sites, ruins, and abandoned buildings, trying to uncover the long-lost mystery that is Artemis, The Great Mother. She is also the author of the book, She Who Hunts: Artemis – the Goddess Who Changed the World.
On this episode, we discuss:
Carla's ongoing spiritual journey, and why it's only been fairly recently that she's begun identifying as a pagan and Goddess worshipper
Her evolving relationship with Artemis, and how it spans research, academia, and more mystical experiences
The challenge of deeply exploring the spiritual nature of the Sacred Feminine within the confines of academic institutions
The unknown and more complicated aspects of Artemis - and why this complexity is exactly what we need right now

Death and the Divine Feminine with Rev. Angie Buchanan
28 oct. 2023
01:12:15
On this episode I'm joined by Reverend Angie Buchanan, Founder and Spiritual Director of Earth Traditions, a Pagan church, and of Gaia's Womb, an interfaith spirituality group that has been producing spiritual retreats for women since 1998. Angie is a life-long pagan, an animist, and has been an experienced magical worker and ritualist for over 40 years. She served on the Board of Trustees for the Parliament of World Religions from 2002 – 2010, offering programs internationally at convenings in Barcelona, Melbourne, and Toronto, and nationally in Salt Lake City and Chicago. Rev. Buchanan is currently a Spiritual Advisor for Pagan students at the University of Chicago, Campus Ministry, and a Certified Death Midwife.
During this episode we discussed:
Angie’s experience growing up in a pagan, animistic household, and how it gave her a grounding in the Sacred Feminine from an early age
How she relates to the Sacred Feminine via archetypes as opposed to through specific deities
Why she views birth and death as the two most important human rites of passage, as well as the similarities between them and how the Divine Feminine intertwines with both

Rewriting Eve with Ronna Detrick
14 oct. 2023
01:09:48
If we exit a repressive faith tradition, does that mean we have to leave all the related stories behind? According to Ronna Detrick, my latest podcast guest, the answer is no - and in fact, there may be very good reasons why we shouldn't. Ronna is the author of the new book "Rewriting Eve: Rescuing Women's Stories from the Bible and Reclaiming Them as Our Own,"and while she left the church and religion nearly twenty years ago, she took the stories of women with her. Her career has included human resources, training, and executive leadership, but these days, she is a spiritual director, coach, speaker, and writer. In addition to her book, she also gave a provocative TEDx talk on an Eve who inspires and empowers women instead of shaming and silencing them.
On the latest episode we discuss:
* How Ronna's experience in seminary ultimately led to the end of her marriage and her decision to leave the Christian church
* Why she feels strongly that the deepest connection we can have to Divinity is the one we find within ourselves
* Why, as she says, it's important not to leave the stories of Biblical women behind, especially considering how they've been misinterpreted by patriarchal institutions
* The secret power and messages inherent in the Biblical story of Eve, as well as the stories of other Biblical women

The Tangible Divine with Kay Louise Aldred
29 sept. 2023
01:07:01
How do we locate divinity within our own bodies, and within the ordinariness of our lived experiences? On the latest episode I explore this topic with Kay Louise Aldred, a researcher, writer, and teacher who catalyzes individual, institutional, and collective evolution through education, embodiment, and creativity (and not to worry, we break this all down in this episode). Kay is the author of several books, all published by Girl God Books: "Mentorship with Goddess: Growing Sacred Womanhood;" "Making Love with the Divine: Sacred ,Ecstatic, Erotic Experiences;" "Somatic Shamanism: Your Fleshy Knowing and the Tree of Life;" and "Embodied Education: Creating Safe Space for Learning, Facilitating, and Sharing."
On this episode we discuss:
The nature of Kay's work, and why she's passionate about using cognition, intuition, and instinct to access deeper, more holistic wisdom
The importance of turning toward the wisdom of the heart when in doubt or confusion
Kay's long journey out of mind-based religion and into a spirituality that fuses mind, body and and spirit
What "tangible divinity" means, and why it matters
How we can make love with the divine through a variety of "ordinary" experiences available to all of us
And much more!

Multiplicities of Magic with Risa Dickens and Amy Torok
14 sept. 2023
01:16:01
The witches are back! On the latest episode I'm joined again by Risa Dickens and Amy Torok, who first appeared on the show in 2021. They're back this time to discuss their latest book, "New Moon Magic: 13 Anti-Capitalist Tools for Resistance and Re-Enchantment." Risa and Amy are also the co-authors of “Missing Witches: Reclaiming True Histories of Feminist Magic”, both from North Atlantic Books, and the co-hosts of the podcast Missing Witches.
On the latest episode we explore:
The nature of sacred activism and the constantly flowing journey between personal evolution and its outward expression in the world
The importance of holding multiplicities and paradox, and how this work is essential to witchcraft
Why differences shouldn't divide us but rather invite us to expand
Risa and Amy's process for collaborating and writing their books together - and in doing so, how they've joined a lineage of powerful women who write together
Our shared loved of dirt, and why it's much more than a metaphor for both the medicine we need AND what's ailing us

The Dance of Water with Juliana Mendonca
30 août 2023
01:09:51
How might we connect more deeply with the Divine via dance? What can water teach us about the flow of life? And what happens when we combine the two? On the latest episode I explore this rich topic with Venezuelan contemporary dance performer, choreographer, and teacher Juliana Mendonca. Juliana is an innovative bodyworker influenced by Latin Traditional Dances, Butoh, Contact Improvisation and Physical Theater. In particular, water has represented a very important element for her to understand herself, and Juliana has dedicated many years to creating projects and performances inspired by the element of water. These include the music and dance company Raíz de Agua, La Naciente, Drop & Drought, Sono Somatic and most recently, Liquidanza – a relaxation and dance practice based in the water.
In this episode we discuss:
Juliana's early, formative experiences with nature, and why they made a deeper impression on her than her experiences within the Catholic church
Juliana's journey through formal dance training and into more experimental, flowing forms of dance, such as the Japanese Butoh dance method
Her relationship with water, including what it's taught her, and how she understands it as holding feminine energy that can benefit us all
How we can all deepen our awareness and understanding of the sacred nature of water

When She Wakes with Gina Martin
16 août 2023
01:08:54
My guest on this episode is Gina Martin, founding mother and High Priestess of Triple Spiral of Dún na Sidhe, a pagan spiritual congregation in the Hudson Valley of New York. She is a ritualist, teacher, healer, mother, and writer of sacred songs. Her When She Wakes series, which includes the titles Sisters of the Solstice Moon, Walking the Threads of Time, and She Is Here, are published by Womancraft publishing. She is the curator and composer of WomEnchanting: a Compendium of Sacred Songs and Chants. Gina is also a practitioner of Classical Chinese medicine and a Board Certified licensed acupuncturist. She lives as a steward of the land that previously held a village of the Ramapough Lenape where people can come together now to remember the Old Ways. On this episode we discuss:
How Gina's early experiences in the Catholic church informed and shaped her views on ritual and ceremony
Gina's relationship with the Sacred Feminine, and why she feels like despite it all, she often needs to be dragged out into the light as a celebrant of the Goddess (plus some of her experiences in doing so)
Gina's "When She Wakes" series, including her inspiration behind it, and the often ephemeral line between fiction and reality
Her understanding of time, and how this appears in her book series, particularly book two
How the language we speak defines our reality
And much more!

On the latest episode I'm joined by the inspiring Nina Simons, co-founder and Chief Relationship Officer at Bioneers, an innovative nonprofit organization that highlights breakthrough solutions for restoring people and planet. Nina has worked with nearly a thousand diverse women leaders across disciplines, race, class, age and orientation to create conditions for mutual learning, trust and leadership development. She co-edited "Moonrise: The Power of Women Leading from the Heart," and authored the book "Nature, Culture, and the Sacred: A Woman Listens for Leadership," which won Nautilus awards in the categories of Women in the 21st Century and Social Change & Social Justice. During our conversation we discuss:
Nina's awakening to the wisdom of the Divine Feminine, or "Mother Life," as she says, via the groundbreaking documentary "The Burning Times"
Why she feels like so many of our cultural problems can be traced back to an imbalance between the masculine and the feminine
How her work through her 30+ years of co-producing Bioneers has been informed and guided by Indigenous allies, and what's she's learned in the process
How her own understanding of gender bias has helped deepen her understanding of racial bias
How deepening with the wisdom of Sacred Feminine has also invited her home to herself

A Journey of Grace with Hannah Wallace
17 juil. 2023
00:58:27
What does it mean to experience grace? As guest Hannah Wallace shares in this episode, it's often in our most challenging times that the gifts of grace present themselves to us. Hannah is the host of the podcast Finding Grace, where she holds space for conversations about what it means to find grace in the world we live in today. As someone who lives with a life-altering genetic condition, her mission is to guide people to integrate their darkness and light by finding grace in the space that they’re in. Hannah is also a disability model and advocate, a writer, blogger, speaker and priestess. On the latest episode we explore:
How a life-changing illness radically changed the trajectory of Hannah's life at the age of 17
Hannah's extensive exploration of healing modalities, and the moment when she realized that she needed to stop trying to be the spiritual "A-student" and simply just be
How toxic spirituality can convince us that if we are good enough, we will be rewarded with healing (and why this type of thinking is still rooted in patriarchy)
The gifts that the Divine Mother has offered to Hannah along her journey
The role grace has played in Hannah's life

Cultivating Sacred Feminine Community with Caryn MacGrandle
03 juil. 2023
01:08:42
We are stronger together, and perhaps no one knows this better than my guest for this episode, Caryn MacGrandle. Caryn is the creator behind the Divine Feminine App, an online community, that, since 2016, has been connecting women and all genders in circles, and to events and resources. As Caryn says, if you combined the number of years of experience that the users of the Divine Feminine App have in doing the Mother's work, we would be back in time to a society that valued the Earth and the Mother, recognizing that we are all her children and must work together as such. On the latest episode we discuss:
How a full moon gathering sparked Caryn's interest in spiritual community outside the structures of traditional religions, which eventually led to her participation and creation of women's circles.
Caryn's journey away from the Catholic faith of her youth, through Paganism and eventually to Goddess spirituality
How the Divine Feminine App came into being, and why Caryn says its ultimate purpose is to take you away from your computer and into connection with your local community
Why she feels there's no stopping the coming "tsunami of the Mother" (including the fact that it's not a tsunami we need to be afraid of)
Our upcoming panel discussion on intersectionality that Caryn and I will be participating in at The Parliament of the World's Religions in Chicago (August 14-18, 2023)

Menstrual Cycle Awareness with Alexandra Pope and Sjanie Hugo Wurlitzer
17 juin 2023
01:04:46
What does the menstrual cycle have to teach us - about the nature of ourselves, as well as the importance of living in a cyclic manner? On the latest episode I discuss this with Alexandra Pope and Sjanie Hugo Wurlitzer, co-founders of the Red School, which is dedicated to restoring the power of the menstrual cycle and menopause. Via Red School, Alexandra and Sjanie are pioneering the emerging field of menstruality with a vision that menstrual cycle awareness and conscious menopause are prioritized in every boardroom, classroom and dinner‐table discussion on the planet. Alexandra and Sjanie are also the co-authors of two life-changing books: Wild Power: Discover the Magic of Your Menstrual Cycle and Awaken the Feminine Path to Power; and Wise Power: Discover the Liberating Power of Menopause to Awaken Authority, Purpose and Belonging. During our discussion we explore:
Alexandra and Sjanie's individual spiritual experiences growing up, and how each informed their current work with the menstrual cycle
The "exquisite intimacy" of the Sacred Feminine, as Alexandra refers to it
How honoring the menstrual cycle is a spiritual practice in and of itself
The importance of making 1% shifts as we begin to bring cyclic awareness into our lives
The message and meaning of pain as part of the menstrual cycle
How menstrual cycle awareness can teach us to live in a more equitable, sustainable manner

Challenging a Culture of Abuse with Karen Tate
03 juin 2023
01:10:07
What if domination and abuse are so intertwined with our current culture that we end up accepting them as both natural and inevitable? On the latest episode, I explore these questions and much more with Karen Tate, host of the long-running Voices of the Sacred Feminine podcast and author of the new book, "Normalizing Abuse: A Commentary on the Culture of Abuse." Karen has walked the Sacred Feminine path for more than 30 years, and has been named on one of the Thirteen Most Influential Women in Goddess Spirituality. She is also a thought leader, speaker, seven-times published author and a social justice advocate. On today's episode we explore:
Karen's journey from her upbringing in New Orleans to living in Los Angeles, and the accompanying evolution of her spiritual views
Karen's introduction to Goddess spirituality, and some of her experiences learning, teaching, speaking and leading retreats over the last three decades
How her understanding of Goddess spirituality has evolved to an emphasis on activism and social justice
What it means to turn toward partnership systems, particularly as taught by the long-time activist and scholar Riane Eisler, as a way to re-imagine a fairer, more inclusive society
And much more!

The Wisdom of the Womb with Emmi Mutale
19 mai 2023
01:01:42
What does it mean to really listen to the wisdom of our bodies, and what kind of lessons do they have to teach us? On the latest episode, I'm joined by energy medicine practitioner and womb wisdom keeper Emmi Mutale to explore the mysteries and magic held within the womb space. A best-selling author and host of the Sacred Feminine Power podcast, Emmi is dedicated to holding sacred space for deep healing and transformation for women of all ages around the world. On today's episode we explore:
How Emmi's assimilation of the Protestant work ethic fueled her earlier career in the humanitarian field, despite not being raised in a particularly religious household, and how she began to recognize its toxicity and ultimately heal from it
How a meditative encounter with Jesus led her to an ever-deepening relationship with the Sacred Feminine, particularly through the figures of Mary Magdalene and Mother Mary
Why she sees the womb as "the holy of the holies," and why it's so important for women to begin to connect with this source of power, wisdom and strength
The roadblocks we may encounter when seeking to connect with our wombs, and some simple practices we can use to begin to access this wisdom

Exploring PaGaian Cosmology with Glenys Livingstone
05 mai 2023
01:05:02
On the latest episode I'm joined by Glenys Livingstone, a pioneering researcher and thought leader who's been walking the Goddess path since 1979. Glenys is the author of "PaGaian Cosmology: Re-inventing Earth-based Goddess Religion, which fuses the indigenous traditions of Old Europe with scientific theory, feminism, and a poetic relationship with place." This book was an outcome of her doctoral work in Social Ecology. Her newest book is "A Poiesis of the Creative Cosmos: Celebrating Her within PaGaian Sacred Ceremony," which synthesizes much of her work over the years.
On today's episode we discuss:
* Glenys' spiritual background, including her conversion to Catholicism in her teens, as well as her growing disillusionment with Christianity
* The "a-ha" moment that occurred when she realized, pregnant and unmarried, that knowing a female deity would allow her to view her situation without shame
* What "PaGaian cosmology" means, including how it combines pagan spirituality with scientific theory to give us a new way to recognize and honor Her (the Goddess) as creative life force
* Why it's important that we recognize the inherent power in language and the naming of things and life experiences
* How honoring the equinoxes, solstice and cross-quarter days found on the pagan Wheel of the Year can bring us closer to the Sacred Feminine and provides an opportunity to consciously participate in the creative dance of the cosmos

The Reverence Code with Shawna Bluestar Newcomb
19 avr. 2023
01:03:37
On the latest episode, I have the privilege of being in conversation with Shawna Bluestar Newcomb, of Shawnee, Lenape and Zapotec lineage, who has been opening hearts and minds across the world as an international speaker, visionary leader, intuitive healer, medium, spiritual guide and mentor for changemakers. Shawna is a delegate with the Mother Earth Delegation and has been a featured speaker at universities, global conferences, festivals, podcasts, radio, and online summits. In her dedication to personal and planetary healing, she helps to lead a global movement with her father, Steven Newcomb, for conscious change, speaking out on the Domination Code of cultural and planetary exploitation. Shawna offers a fresh perspective and alternative approach to social and conscious change with her unique teachings on The Reverence Code. Shawna is dedicated to healing for the Earth, humanity, future generations, and all beings in this time of The Great Shift, and a return to what she calls, The Time That Was Before.
On today's episode we explore:
Shawna's spiritual background, including how her Indigenous background immersed her in ceremony as a young child, and how early intuitive experiences shaped her worldview
How the Divine Feminine first spoke to her about what she refers to as The Great Shift while she was vacuuming (yes, really!), and how this underscores the presence of the sacred in our everyday lives
Shawna and her father's work to bring awareness to the harm caused by the Doctrine of Discovery, including the Catholic Church's role in spreading it and how this created what they refer to as a Domination Code
Shawna's own understanding of what she refers to as the Reverence Code, and how it hearkens back to a Time that Was Before
Why she believes it's possible to stay firmly rooted in a state of reverence AND in our so-called real world
Why it's so important to say yes to what she refers to as "Spirit tweets", or those everyday moments of connection to a divine source greater than ourselves

Descent and Rising with Carly Mountain
05 avr. 2023
01:05:46
On the latest episode we're diving deep, using the ancient myth of the descent of the Sumerian Goddess Inanna as our guide, as we explore what it means for women to traverse the underworld of our psyches and return with hard-won, precious wisdom for our life journeys. My guest today is Carly Mountain, a psychosexual somatic therapist, breathworker and writer, whose new book is "Descent and Rising: Women's Stories and the Embodiment of the Inanna Myth" (Womancraft Publishing). For the last 20 years, Carly has worked with sacred embodiment practices, and in her latest book, she explores women's real lived experiences of descent and rising, and familiarizes us with a process of female psycho-spiritual growth pften overlooked in patriachal culture. On today's episode we explore:
Carly's spiritual background, including how she learned powerful lessons of devotion through observing her grandmother's Catholic faith
The myth of Inanna, including its origins and how each character can represent an important part of ourselves to examine and explore
The surprising intersection of pleasure and pain, and how we might find relief and possibly even joy by facing the most exiled parts of ourselves
How the myth of Inanna provides us instructions of how we may change, and why sometimes we wish to refuse the invitation to evolve
How Carly views the Goddess as "the body of the world," and why in this moment in time we're feeling the call to evolve ourselves and our relationship with the planet
