Truth, AI, and the Wild: The World of Raven’s Daughter

Season 7 · Episode 11

Tuesday, May 27, 2025 • Duration 01:02:40

In this very special episode of Lucid Cafe, I celebrate the long-awaited release of my new book, Raven’s Daughter: The Story Keeper. After years of dreaming, writing, and behind-the-scenes work, publication day is finally here.

Joining me is my brilliant and hilarious friend Claire Wheeler, who helps me unpack the story, themes, and inspiration behind the book. This is the first time I’m speaking about Raven’s Daughter out loud in any real depth, so it’s part book talk, part soul share — with a few meandering moments along the way.

We explore some of the book’s deeper currents, including our complicated relationship with deception, the influence of artificial intelligence, and our growing disconnection from the natural world. Though it’s a work of fiction, Raven’s Daughter offers an imaginative lens for reflecting on the challenges of our time.

In this conversation, Claire and Wendy discuss:

The inspiration for Raven's Daughter
Deception
How do you know what's true?
Terror management theory
The three realities described in the book
The story's shamanic influence

Reclaiming Feminine Wisdom in a Masculine World with Author Alanna Kaivalya

Season 7 · Episode 10

Wednesday, May 7, 2025 • Duration 58:11

In this episode, I sit down with the passionate Alanna Kaivalya to explore the lost — yet ever-present — power of the feminine. While modern women have more freedom than ever to shape our lives and careers, many of us still measure success through a masculine lens, chasing goals and strategies that don’t reflect our deepest desires.

This conversation is not about rejecting the masculine, but about reclaiming the feminine — the intuitive, connective, and compassionate energy that too often gets sidelined. Alanna, a bestselling author and spiritual teacher, shares insights from her new book The Way of the Satisfied Woman, a powerful guide for anyone seeking an alternative path to fulfillment.

Together, we discuss how embracing the feminine can liberate us from burnout, invite greater ease, and reconnect us with what matters most: meaningful relationships, inner peace, and authentic expression.

Alanna Kaivalya, PhD is a bestselling author, educator, thought leader, and expert on mythology, spirituality, psychology, and women’s empowerment. The author of Sacred Sound and Myths of the Asanas, she earned a doctorate in mythological studies with an emphasis in depth psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute and is the host of The Satisfied Woman podcast.

In this conversation, Alanna discusses:

What defines femininity
Why connecting with the feminine is more important than ever
What models of satisfaction look like for the modern woman
How women don't realize how minimized and oppressed they are
The definition of "satisfaction"
Her run-in with facebook
Masculinity and femininity
Curating your life
Four keys to a satisfied life
Relearning how to interact
Trust
The habit of apologizing

In this episode I speak with the very fun and engaging Samantha Bennett about how to tap into and explore the things that bring you joy in a way that’s reasonable and not at all intimidating. We discuss her latest book The 15-Minute Method: The Surprisingly Simple Art of Getting It Done, which isn’t just about productivity hacks or working more efficiently.

This bestseller was followed by, Start Right Where You Are: How Little Changes Can Make a Big Difference for Overwhelmed Procrastinators, Frustrated Overachievers and Recovering Perfectionists. She is the founder of TheRealSamBennett.com, a company committed to helping overwhelmed creatives and frustrated over-achievers get unstuck, so you can prioritize, focus and move forward on the goals that matter to you.

She is also a wildly popular course instructor on LinkedIn Learning with over a half-million participants and an average of 4.8 stars in a range of courses including, Time Management for Busy People, How to Stop Wasting Time in Meetings, Embracing Times of Uncertainty, and How to Write Emails People Will Actually Read.

Our unhealthy relationships with time and money
Value-driven motivations
Where are you focusing your energy?
What matters to you and are you prioritizing it?
The 15-minute a day pledge
