Sometimes the things we think are the best and right for us and others in our space holding and leadership are in fact armours, defensives and fears in disguise. Overgiving, rescuing, fixing and people pleasing can be some of those things which can have us thinking in doing such things we are being kind, generous and giving but in fact we are leading in our work from open wounds and fears of not being enough as we are. In today's episode Julie shares a power punching hit list (delivered with love!) that overgiving and client pleasing can really be costing you - everything from money to your own health and wellbeing. All with the knowing you can alchemise these things to become a richer, more grounded and sustainable space holder in all you do. 

And Sacredly Seen is going to be the most amazing place to do that with space holders already joining from around the world.

Did that question just hit you in the heart a little? Even make you worried that you might be somehow 'found out' or are not 'good enough' due to your wounds and lived experiences, to be amazing at the space holding you do? It's so understandable if yes due to the conditioning we hold about what healing and being healed supposedly means. Julie speaks to both the mythological and psychological components of the wounded healer archetype on The Priestess Podcast today with insights into what we can soulfully DO if the answer to this question we find is yes.

When you are named after the great gnostic Goddess Sofiah it's a little bit of a given that you may embody some of Her qualities of wisdom and creativity throughout your life. And this is certainly the case for my guest on The Priestess Podcast today - Sofiah Thom. Sofiah is one of the few women I've met that has actually been deeply raised in a spiritual tradition that aligns with the world of the Goddess from a young age and it's something that you are about to find permeates throughout everything she does as a global priestess and entrepreneur. In particular as a performing artist and temple arts dancer Sofiah is passionate about how we can embody the power of the Goddess deep within our bodies and she shares her insights on how we can all do that in an empowering and beautiful way.

Having conversations with beautiful fellow Priestesses about the world of the Goddess totally lights me up! It's a shared language and passion and experience that I find so uplifting and so it was to be the same with my guest on The Priestess Podcast today - Tia Johnson. Tia is a serious goddess devotee and works with Her in all aspects of her business. And today we riff on numerous goddesses including Frejya, Aphrodite, Lilith, Kali, Bridget and more about how influential they have been in her life and the magick she continues to weave and co-create with them in her business and own podcast now. Get ready for a goddess half hour of power!

When we dive into the world of spirituality and all that can open up for our hearts and souls, it can be very easy to gloss into and over all the aspects of spirituality, religion and worship that may in fact not be that glossy at all. For some people, their experience within the realms of their spiritual choices and exploration is one that is filled with deep isolation, questioning, heavy expectations and even trauma. The journey from and through that, to not just a sense of, but a totally sovereign embodiment of, spiritual freedom, can be a rocky one. My guest on The Priestess Podcast today - Madison Morrigan - bravely shares her story of finding spiritual freedom from the oppressive religion she found herself in as a teen and young woman. It's a journey filled with sadness, anger and frustration, but also hope, power and grace - all words that are fitting to describe Madison and the gifts she is bringing into the world now through her loving presence.

One of the things that constantly delights me about having conversations with incredible women on The Priestess Podcast is how many deep and beautiful parallels and connections can be drawn between our spiritual growth and every aspect of our lives. It truly helps me - and I hope helps you too - see that we really are so much more than the body we walk around in and that concept is truly bought home today by my guest Cara Cifelli. Cara shares with us today her journey of experiencing an eating disorder and the patriarchal, societal expectations she believed was prominent in that developing for her AND how connecting with her own spirit and divine light within - way beyond what she looks like or does for a living - helped her to heal. It's an inspiring journey that now sees Cara healthy, vibrant and well AND supporting other women to be the same.

I have had the great pleasure of knowing Priestess Maree Eddings for a number of years now but I don't mind admitting to you that in this interview ahead - she deeply surprised, challenged AND delighted me. And that's a wonderful thing when you know someone! Maree is an amazingly magnetic leader of women and in this episode today she shares with us her thoughts on how to ignite your own personal influence, the spiritual meaning she believes that has and what true power really is. And believe me when I tell you that is likely NOT to be what you have been taught great leadership was in school, nor the examples of it we see in our white male dominated world today. Get ready to be ignited in this episode of The Priestess Podcast today!

When I first began a business as a life coach 18 years ago now, there was no such thing as spiritual life coaching or a spiritual life coach. My how times have changed! There are now many coaches supporting people around the globe to more deeply explore their spiritual paths and light in the world, which is a truly wonderful thing. I'm sure it's not going to surprise you to hear me say that. My guest on The Priestess Podcast today - Amanda Johnson - is one of the many coaches doing this work and I know you are going to get so much out of this interview whether you are a coach or not. Amanda's soulful and humble manner is at once both calming and inspirational and her work in helping people find their divine light within I know is just beginning. 

Is there such a thing as a true path, higher calling or one soul's purpose for all of us? My guest on The Priestess Podcast today - Britt Lynn - believes that there absolutely is. And that it is our greatest role in life as spiritual beings to find out what it is. Britt shares with us her thoughts around the concept of your own True North Path in this episode and in particular opens us up to the knowing that it is often our greatest wounds and shadows that can show us the way ahead and become our greatest teachers and light in doing so. Yep, all those pesky things that keep coming back around to us reminding us constantly that we are all beautiful works in progress and deserving of love and self-compassion as we walk through things together.

The rich and beautiful word of traditional Indigenous medicine and pathways is bought to life today on The Priestess Podcast by my guest Claudia Parada. Claudia comes from a deep lineage of peoples from the Mesoamerican region and she considers herself to be on a lifelong path of learning from her elders and ancestors in all that she does. Claudia will inspire you today with her humility and wisely gentle approach to her healing work and once again show us how magickally transformative it is to forge a path of connection with our own spiritual culture - no matter where we come from.

How do you manage yourself and your life when things don't go your way or even just to plan? When things are a bit awry do you treat yourself and talk to yourself well and with kindness and compassion? Or does the way you respond to such times make the situation you are responding to even worse than it was to begin with? Phewww. Deep sigh out! I think we might have all been there. Our guest today on The Priestess Podcast, David Trotter, talks to us about the incredible practice of self-soothing and how we can better respond to the inevitably difficult times we will all experience on our life and spiritual journeys. You're soon to learn that soothing is not just for babies and children. We need it as adults too.

Get ready to fall in love with Ash Johns. I certainly did after having her as a guest on The Priestess Podcast to talk all things conscious business which she does with us today. Even if you are not a business owner yourself, you are going to find so many golden gems and truths in what Ash shares today as a consumer of businesses. Ash speaks to the heart of what so many of us who are business owners desire - creating, nurturing and beautiful a business that makes a true impact and difference. A business and life that is a legacy of love, service and integrity. It's a must listen from a must engage with guest and business maven.

Join host Julie Parker for a life and personal update and a 'where to from here' for The Priestess Podcast after 238 wonderful episodes. Thank you for being a part of this sacred journey thus far!

I don't often like to use or lean into the word should, however in this episode introduction today - I'm going to. I think it's well and truly time we should get past any notion that you either can't make an abundant living from being a spiritual entrepreneur OR that you shouldn't do so because it's just not 'spiritual' anyway. Holy Goddess no! That's a blatant swipe of the patriarchy and spiritual speak gone terribly awry if ever I've heard it and a really great way to keep women in particular small and not believing they are deserving of financial freedom and wealth. Brigit Esselmont, my guest on The Priestess Podcast today, is a living embodiment of a truly successful and extraordinary spiritual entrepreneur who is running a million plus dollar a year business. As a tarot reader and teacher of the tarot. Yep. Cards. Divination. Spirit. And she's as grounded and relatable as ever a person you could meet. Get ready for the worlds of money, spirit and the Divine to meet in this episode and show you what is truly possible for your own abundance as well.

We live in a world that chiefly values women remaining in the maiden phase of their life. Messages surround us everywhere that we should be young, spritely, fresh and even virginal, despite the fact that this young stage of life often means we are still maturing and therefore understandably immature, are caught up in our own drama and needs, and crave attention. It can be hard to leave behind our maiden self in such a way that we cross into the more mature mother stage of our life feeling ready for all that entails. My guest on The Priestess Podcast today, Sarah Durham Wilson, is wholly devoted as a priestess to supporting women bridge the life gap from maidenhood to motherhood - and no - that does not mean as a birth mother. What does it actually mean? Tune in to this wise and womanly episode of the podcast today to find out!

Making a commitment to write, journal or track something in your life involves just that - a commitment. However we have likely all had an experience at least once in our lives where doing so has reaped us enormous rewards. That little bit of discipline can go a LONG way! On The Priestess Podcast today we are learning from our wonderful guest Michaela Rosandich about how tracking our cycles - and especially that of the moon - can help us lead richer, fuller and more wonderful lives. Lady Luna is there for us to freely access Her power and wisdom every day if we choose. And if you do choose - believe me when I tell you and as Michaela shares with us today - you will be so glad that you did in a multitude of ways.

So I'm going to tell you something quite obvious as we feel into this episode of The Priestess Podcast today - but in saying that maybe it isn't so obvious as I think. Your health and wellbeing is about so much more than what you eat or how much exercise you do. So. Much. More. And while I think this IS something that more and more of us are realising as we begin to incorporate an understanding of things such as our sleep, sexuality and mindset as other elements of health, how much do we really think about our spirituality and it's connection to our health? I'm certainly not seeing it spoken about a great deal which is why I am so grateful for our guest today - Priestess and Women's Health Coach - Jolinda Johnson. Jolinda is about to share with you infinite ways our spirit and health are interconnected and why it is so vital for our wholeness that we continue to see them as so.

My guest on The Priestess Podcast today, Larissa O'Neill, is an incredibly gifted and experienced space holder. Larissa considers herself to be a sacred vessel for women's wisdom and when you hear her speak and share about her work you will soon understand that to be true. How is it that we can see ourselves as sacred vessels when we desire to hold deep space for others? And how can we come to learn and understand that doing this work and being in service to others requires us to always, but always, be in deep service to ourselves? Larissa shares this and so much more in this inspiring episode today.

I love exploring topics on The Priestess Podcast that we never have before, which is quite a feat after more than 130 episodes! Today we are doing just that in talking about exercise with our special guest Nicole Meline. Nicole is a very special athlete and catalyst for inspiring people to understand the connection between physical movement and our spiritual selves and that movement and exercise is so much more than something we can just do to change our body shape or even just remain healthy and well. Nicole believes that spirited movement is a right for all of us and that it can act as a portal to our most spiritual, reverent and divine selves. Get ready to think about exercise and movement in a way that you may never have before.

We do it every second of every day - even when we are sleeping. Breathe. We breathe in and out, in and out, and likely, unless we are having difficulties doing so, don't think about it very much when we do. Can our breath and breathing serve a greater purpose however than just keeping us alive? Is it connected to our spiritual and divine selves and be something we can access for deeper healing, spiritual connection and connection to our highest self. My guest on The Priestess Podcast today, Christabel Zamor, is a resounding yes to all of that and so much more when it comes to the power of our breath. As someone who has experienced a breath workshop before and found it transformative you may want to explore this for yourself too. Let's breathe together!

Julie Parker on 2019 Priestess Podcast Year

Whether we want it to be or not, fear and self-doubt are companions for us on our life journeys. We can want for them to not be, but it doesn't lessen their actual presence any more from doing so. Today's Priestess Podcast guest - Sas Petherick - has made a life long commitment to studying self-doubt and how it shows up in our lives. She is a total boss mistress at this and we all benefit from her being so. Sas shares with us today her own journey with self-doubt, ways we can gently and compassionately overcome it and see it as a portal for our own spiritual awakenings and journeys. 

My guest on The Priestess Podcast today - Abiola Abrams - is a wildly successful spiritual woman entrepreneur who works deeply with the Goddess in support of everything she does. Abiola travels the world hosting retreats, writing for magazines as a columnist and is a widely in demand speaker and best selling author. She shares with us how the Goddess first came to her in life, how she works with Her energy and her daily spiritual routine that supports her to create such magick in the world. Abiola is an inspiration in how she channels divine Goddess energy and you're likely to pick up more than one way you can do so yourself from her time with us on the show.

Forest bathing. Even just saying that feels so calming, soothing and grounding. And my amazing guest on The Priestess Podcast today - Sanaa Green - is here to share with us more about this beautiful practice and indeed her entire experience of earth based connection as a Priestess. Sanaa takes incredible comfort from nature which is something that I believe is undoubtedly available to all of us and likely medicine we can call upon from deep within ourselves and the natural world more to our own benefit. This is a beautiful conversation that will open up portals of earth love and connection for you to begin to deepen or explore for the very first time.

Sheena Yap Chan has interviewed more than seven hundred women on the topic of self-confidence. Now that's a lot of anecdotal and real life evidence on what it takes to be a confident woman in the modern world, especially when we can feel surrounded by messages that help us be anything but. As my guest on The Priestess Podcast today Sheena was the perfect person to talk about self-confidence and her perspective on the spiritual 'Tao' or way that we can develop more confidence in our lives. She refreshingly speaks about how self-confidence is something that is a journey and not a destination and something that we all have to commit to working on if we want to have it.

I adore my guest on The Priestess Podcast today - Reverend High Priestess Thema Azize Serwa. Thema lives up to her larger than life title and name in every way - as you are soon about to find out. Growing up in a church environment Thema became curious as she got older about women in the bible, and their stories, and it has lead her down a path of enlightenment and an awakening to the Goddess and life as a Priestess, while maintaining her love of God and Christianity. Thema is direct, loving, inspirational and a true guide for modern women looking to explore their spirituality in her work as an Interfaith Minister, as well as her calling to help them love and honour their womb spaces more as a radical act of healing and self-empowerment.

If you have been a regular listener of The Priestess Podcast you will know that I consider our shadow to be a gift, and shadow work to be life giving. Even though we have parts of ourselves that we don't want to face and heal, doing so is often the pathway to untold growth and wonder - and it's certainly hat way if we are a business owner. My incredible guest today - Anna Tsui - believes we all have shadow magic inside us and that if we are entrepreneurs, it has specific ways it shows up, presenting us with opportunities to work with it and help grow our businesses from a position of strength and what she calls our 'executive voice.' If you are a business owner or dreaming of becoming one, working with your shadow is going to be a must and Anna's episode today may just be the portal to help you open up to do so.

What would you do if you had a huge a-ha moment one day and realised that the life you were living was not the one - in any way - that you wanted anymore. Well, if you are my guest on The Priestess Podcast today, Steph Jagger you go skiing. Now that sounds simple and even trite - but it's not. Steph's call to adventurous action on a ski trip that took her around the world was a spiritual adventure of the highest calling. It was an adventure that had heartbreak, challenge, joy and a deep uncovering of her feminine and her own version of truth. Hers is a story and journey that is inspiring, uplifting and filled with life lessons. It may even inspire you to go on a spiritual adventure of your own.

I wonder how many times in life you may have (somewhat huffily!) said to yourself "I've got it!" or "Thanks but no I don't need help" or muttered under your breath - "I should have done it myself." If you're anything like me at all then you probably have - and more than once too. My wonderful guest on The Priestess Podcast today Elayne Fluker calls this "I got it" syndrome and believes it is something that so many modern women are feeling the pressure and weight of under heavy cloaks of expectation and the belief that to be successful we have to have it all. If you have ever felt alone and wondered if you need to truly take on everything yourself or it will NEVER get done or done to the standards you want - Elayne is about to be your new BFF! Listen up to her amazing HELP model - it may just change the way you ask for support in your life forever.

Carolina Rodriguez-Barros never grew up as a little girl believing that she would become a New Earth Soul Alchemist and I am sure that is something that many of you listening right now could relate to. If someone had told me that I would be doing what I am doing right now even as a young woman in my 20's I would scarcely have believed them. My interview with Carolina for The Priestess Podcast today will help you to see how everything in life that we experience and even desire not to experience is a part of our spiritual path. And that in fact life itself IS the spiritual path we are all on.

What does it mean to have true intimacy in your everyday life? To feel deeply connected to everything you are and to have others see you in that way too? Intimacy is something that can of course mean different things to us all, but I think you're going to love my guest today - Juliet Allen - and her very special take on what true intimacy really is. As a sexologist I couldn't let the opportunity pass me by to talk to Juliet about the connection between sex and intimacy and also sex and spirituality as well. It makes for a soulful, spirited and sexy conversation that I hope you love.

My guest on The Priestess Podcast today - Olana Barros - is a truly special woman something that you are about to find out in our interview today all about life, living and legacy. In particular what Olana believes is your Divine Legacy.  This is one of those rich and soulful conversations that may just change your life. So often we think that to achieve a legacy or leave a legacy or mark of some kind that we have to do something extra-ordinary, something that makes us famous or impacts millions of people.  When in fact, if you believe or are about to believe for the first time, like Olana and I do, that such things are not at all required to leave a legacy. What is, is living your life to its fullest and in your own Divine truth. Every person who lives in such a way leaves a legacy.

Sarah Wilder is a multi-disciplinary artist and designer, thought leader and nature nerd ever exploring the healing arts + natural world. She is on a mission to self actualise and teach others how to work with the beauty and magic in nature to help rediscover their own.

It's always so beautiful for me to interview people for The Priestess Podcast who are passionate about what they do and the gifts they bring into the world. And such is the case with my guest today - Ashni - who you are about to find out has a deep love and passion for flowers. And that passion is one I absolutely share. Ashni is a flower essence therapist and in this episode she speaks to the beauty, wisdom and healing properties of flowers and how they are so often a mirror of our own spiritual journeys. It's the perfect episode once you have finished listening - to go out and buy yourself a bunch of flowers or spend time in your garden with these divine gifts from Mother Earth.

We are hearing a LOT right now about the nervous system - our nervous systems - and the role that they play in our healing, growth, spiritual development, capacity to hold space for ourselves and others and even just live with presence and reverence. And so yes - that makes these systems within us incredibly important. My guest on The Priestess Podcast today - Elisha Tichelle - is a true nervous system alchemist - especially for those of us who are heart centred entrepreneurs. What Elisha doesn't know about the nervous system I'm not quite sure is worth knowing - THAT is how incredibly knowledgeable she is. I know you are going to revel in this episode ahead and will learn so much about the nervous system from a priestesses perspective that you might never have heard of before.

You, like me, probably think you know what self-care means. Even if you are not necessarily 'doing' it well for yourself. However do we really know what self-care and tending to ourselves with tenderness actually is? Or are we still a part of the media machine that tells us that self-care is really about bubble baths or going for a walk and doing something to improve or better ourselves? My guest on The Priestess Podcast today - Mara Glatzel - is a fan of a bubble bath as am I. But you are soon to learn from Mara that self-care is about so much more than something we may ever be able to Instagram. It's about deep exploration and being in relation with oneself, curiosity, setting boundaries, difficult conversations with people we love and leaning into the discomfort of asking for what we truly need. 

What does it really mean to be a Queen? The Queen of your own life, body, feelings, experiences, thoughts. And more. The Queen of it all. When we think about the Queen Archetype it's easy to just see what is on the surface. Someone who is regal, a leader, confident, wears her crown with pride. But embodying the Queen archetype as my incredible guest on the podcast today Nehanda Yemaya Imana shares with us is so much more than that. Being a true Queen in our own life and world is all about taking full responsibility for who we are - who we are not - and who we are becoming. This undoubtedly includes all of our darkness and shadow. Those parts of ourselves that we would rather deny or push away. True Queens face up. Face in. And own all of who they are. May you, as you walk your own version of Queendom in your life - do all of these things - and more.

Love. That's what my guest on The Priestess Podcast today - Phoebe Mwanza - believes is the deep connection and link between our spirituality and social justice. A human rights lawyer, social justice advocate and podcaster, Phoebe, as an African Australian woman, carries in her heart a lifetime of experiences that have lead her to a place of being passionate about supporting and speaking up about important social and political issues that need to be more widely addressed. Phoebe shares with us in this episode how her spiritual re-awakening in her 30's ignited this passion and how we can all do better as human beings for each other at both a soul and embodied level.

I remember the first time I saw a tarot deck - it was in a movie - and shuffling the cards was a very cranky looking crone who was about to use them to dispense some hard learned wisdom to the young woman sitting opposite her. From that moment on I believed for a long time that tarot cards were really only something that someone else used to read for you and that they were used to tell your fortune. Many moons later I have now come to understand tarot as something that is a creative tool for self-expression and spiritual journeying and as my wonderful guest today - Jerico Mandybur - is about to share with us for self-care and healing as well. If you have never thought of using tarot for your own wellness before Jerico is about to share with you how you can do exactly that.

We are living in a time of great hurry, flurry, busyness and hustle. Even if we try to resist such things, they still swirl around us and can be hard to ignore or not fall into. The result of this is, I believe, many of us are craving more simple lives that echo the times of our grandmothers, great grandmothers and beyond. Lives that are more simple, more soulful and more sacred. My guest on The Priestess Podcast today is Megan Dalla Camina and she has written a beautiful book called 'Simple, Soulful, Sacred' - and it's a gift for our times on how we can create lives that are just that. Megan's wise and wonderful writing and thoughts on this topic feel like a hustle antidote and are inspiring in their simplicity on how very small and tangible choices and changes are available to us all - every day - if we choose them. The result? A more simple, soulful and sacred life.  

I love it when people surprise you - in a good way. And that's what happened in the opening moments of my interview today with Dr Rebecca Ray, author of The Universe Listens to Brave. Rebecca is a clinical psychologist and openly admits at the start of our chat today that she has experienced many personal and emotional issues of her own that have seen her have to really wrestle with her own fear, inner critic, relationship with bravery and her sense of self. It's incredibly refreshing to hear from someone who is upheld as a professional in the area of mental wellbeing and has such a significant online following as well. If you're currently seeking some more courage and bravery in your life right now, this episode with Dr Rebecca is going to become a favourite.

Is it really possible to be both strong and soft as a person? Can you have boundaries and also be vulnerable with yourself and others?  What does it truly mean to be strong? Does softness mean what we really think it does? We dive into all of these questions and more today on The Priestess Podcast with my guest Emily Cassel. Emily was once a highly self-critical type A perfectionist who avoided vulnerability and softness in her life, until she realised both - combined with action orientated and forward moving strength - was the pathway to her own form of success and fulfillment. When you listen in to her journey and wisdom today you may just find it's a pathway for you too.

My guest on The Priestess Podcast today, Becca Piastrelli, says that "Being alive in this time means that we all have a long and tangled past that our ancestors navigated to get us where we are today." And she speaks the absolute truth. Truth in particular when speaking about tanglements that relate to those of us who identify as white and are descendants of people who colonised land, more often than not through brutal means, that we may still, and likely do, benefit from today. There is so much ancestral wisdom, culture and beauty that we can all access as modern day folk living right now. In fact, our ancestors can be our greatest allies. However for us to really tap into their wisdom and learn from their mistakes of past, we must be prepared to uncover and face the truth of both the beauty and the horror of what has transpired before us, so that we can forge a new path for ourselves right now and for all those to come into the future.

The way we feel about ourselves as a human being is complex. It's not a case of simply wanting to feel about ourselves in a certain way and it happening. There are often a lot of barriers that we have to overcome to claim our full worthiness, beauty and even divinity. One of the things that can stand in our way of achieving this is an emotional wound of some kind, an experience or experiences we have had that deeply impact our sense of self. One of those wounds is The Father Wound and my guest on The Priestess Podcast today - Shade Ashani - is an expert in this area having conducted extensive research and written a book - about the impact of The Father Wound in particular on their daughters. If you, like me, are someone that has had a challenging relationship with their father you may just find this episode comforting and enlightening as well and to know that no matter our past experiences that we can always create a different future for ourselves through conscious choice.

Today's episode of The Priestess Podcast is delicious - and you may just want to have some of your most favourite foods on hand to enjoy while you listen in. My guest Tracey Pattison has a 25 year history of recipe creation for some of the world's top chefs. She is passionate about seasonal living and eating, nourishing yourself, and being a sovereign, empowered queen in your own kitchen and how you priestess your plate and body. Tracey is also deeply committed to readdressing patriarchal and capitalist imbalances when it comes to the industrialization and commodification of food, and the returning to 'home' whatever that may look like for each of us when it comes to the tending to and nourishment of our own souls.

Claire Obeid is a truly special soul. Her incarnation in this lifetime I know is at least in part - to serve others on their spiritual path. In other words…she is a bonafide modern Priestess and space holder - with a particular love for the lineage and teachings of Mary Magdalene. In this episode Claire potently shares how she believes we are each our own medicine woman, healer and remedy. It is a sharing that is opening, empowering and sprinkled with more than a bit of Claire magick. Enjoy this beautiful episode ahead.

Leadership is a BIG topic and there are so many ways we can discuss it, think about it and live it as well. In saying that however, for so long now I think that leadership has been presented to us in a very narrow way, and where it is supposedly deeply tied with things such as power and authority. I absolutely love that we are now starting to both talk about, see, and live leadership as human beings in such a way that involves us talking about it in terms of empathy, compassion, heart  and radical responsibility. And my guest on The Priestess Podcast today Luna Grace Isbell-Love is the perfect person to do that with. You are soon about to hear Luna speak of leadership in a way that you may never have before, and if that is the case, I hope it opens your eyes and heart to the knowing that you too are a leader and can be more so if you choose.

I am sure you don't need me to tell you, or remind you, that the pace with which so many of us live in this modern world is frenetic, frantic and frenzied.  All the EFFS! There always seems to be so much to DO and just being as a human can feel some days like it's a distant desire. My guest on The Priestess Podcast today is the luminous Connie Chapman, someone whose work and presence I adore. Connie truly embodies her values as a woman and a business owner and so when I invited her on the show to talk about her passion for slowing down - simply slowing down and living a slower and more thoughtful, intuitive, guided existence - I knew she would deliver just that. If you need to take a breath right now - a little one - a big one - or one anywhere in between - you're going to love Connie and her simple but powerful sharings on how to slow down and tune in to the true depth of your own wisdom.

We are talking all things jade eggs on The Priestess Podcast today. And I couldn't imagine a better person to do that with than the wonderful Heather Rebecca Wilson. Heather explains to us the ancient beginnings of the jade egg practice and how it was used by priestesses then, to its eventual modernisation now. Heather in particular shares how using a jade egg can enhance not just our sex life but our pelvic floor health and even ability to be able to heal from sexual, racial and ancestral trauma. It's amazing to listen in to a woman speak so passionately about such an ancient practice in a fresh and modern way.
