In this second episode of my 4-part story series, I share the turning point that led me from a life of people pleasing and emotional caretaking to one of healing, curiosity, and self-reclamation.

Leaving my marriage was a moment of immense courage—but the transformation didn’t happen overnight. This is the story of the year that followed: the unexpected joy, the grief, the freedom, and the slow unfolding of my intuition.

I talk about how I found astrology, tarot, energy healing, and life coaching—not to become someone new, but to finally remember who I’d always been.

If you've ever felt disconnected from your truth, unsure how to trust your inner voice, or stuck in a life that doesn’t feel like your own… this episode is for you.

This is the path from good girl to grounded woman. From overgiving to sovereign self.

Mentioned in this episode:

• Homebound Tarot

• The Pattern App

• Center for Applied Neuroscience

• Wild Medicine Healers Training

In this first solo mini-episode of a four-part series, I’m getting personal. I’m sharing the story of how I found myself in a life that looked “good” on the outside but was burning me up on the inside—literally. From chronic heartburn to chronic self-abandonment, this is the beginning of my journey of reclaiming my self-worth, unraveling the good girl conditioning, and finally choosing myself.

This episode is tender and true. It’s about the challenge—the moment before everything changes. I talk about the signs my body gave me, the heartbreak of leaving a long-term relationship, the guilt that kept me stuck, and the first spark of intuition that whispered, “There’s more than this.”

 You’ll hear:

• Why I ignored the signs from my body (until I couldn’t anymore)

• The truth about my first “real” relationship and the price I paid to keep the peace

• What it means to begin reclaiming your worth after years of self-abandonment

• How this moment set the stage for my spiritual reawakening and the slow-living witch path I walk today

  
  

This is part one of a four-part series exploring my story through the lens of transformation: the Challenge, the Turning Point, the Commitment, and the Transformation.

 And don’t forget! My free 5-day event SHINE: A Guided Journey to Step Into Your Authenticity is happening June 16–20 at 12pm MST (replays available!).

We’ll peel back the masks of perfection and people-pleasing and remember the magic underneath. Sign up via the link in the show notes or DM me on Instagram @iameileenmarch.
