	S3:E149- Animal Communication: What Your Pet Is Trying to Tell You with Rose Stroh	21 Sep 2026	00:47:52
Your animal sees everything. The good days, the hard days, the moments you'd rather not admit to. And they love you anyway — unconditionally, completely, and without agenda. In this episode, Eileen sits down with her dear friend and fellow Wild Medicine Energy Healers Training graduate Rose Stroh, an animal communicator and energy healer who gives animals a voice and helps people deepen their connections with the animals they love. This conversation is part origin story, part practical guide to animal communication, and part genuinely moving testament to what our animal companions are trying to show us about ourselves. In this episode: * Growing up with every domesticated animal imaginable, and how that innate connection became the foundation of Rose's work * Type 1 diabetes as a teacher: how a health crisis cracked open the path back to alignment * Two trips through corporate and what it took to finally leave for good * The senior foster dog who sat with Rose through one of the hardest seasons of her life * Diesel, Lucy, and the extraordinary story of an animal who told Rose six months in advance that he was leaving * What actually happens in an animal communication session and why animals often have wisdom for the human that has nothing to do with what they came to ask * Why animals won't spill your deepest secrets * Animism in practice: how Rose works with the consciousness of rooms, doors, and spaces * The difference between cats and dogs in how they show up in sessions "They see everything we do. They know all of us and they love us unconditionally anyway. Our souls are entirely bared to each other." — Rose Stroh Send Rose an Email: Woof@rosestroh.com Take a peek at Rose's Website: www.Rosestroh.com Follow Rose on Instagram: //www.instagram.com/rosestrohanimals Take a look at Roses's Linktree: https://linktr.ee/RoseStroh Sign up for Unleash Your Inner Witch: https://www.myluminousife.ca/unleash-your-inner-witch Join me for the next Wheel of the Year Ceremony: https://www.myluminouslife.ca/wheel-of-the-year-ceremonies Subscribe to Eileen on Substack: https://wisewildwomanhearth.substack.com/?utm_campaign=profile_chips Take the Which Witch Are You Quiz: https://dashboard.mailerlite.com/forms/101667/92633449696855773/share Order Awaken to the Magic Within https://www.myluminouslife.ca/awaken-to-the-magic-within Connect with Eileen on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/iameileenmarch Follow Eileen on Insight Timer https://insighttimer.com/iameileenmarch Send Eileen an email at eileen@myluminouslife.ca
	S3:E148-Autumn Equinox Magic: Celtic History, Mabon, & What Balance Actually Is	14 Sep 2026	00:22:46
Balance isn't a fixed point you reach and hold on to. It's a breath a moment of equilibrium, before the shift. In this solo episode, Eileen explores the autumn equinox through Celtic history, the Wheel of the Year, the magic of the Harvest Moon, and a reframe of balance that might change how you carry it in your body. As the light and dark pause in ta moment of equality before the Wheel tips toward the dark half of the year, there's wisdom in this moment for us. In this episode: Why the autumn equinox is called a quarter day, and how it differs from the cross-quarter fire festivals The word Mabon: where it actually comes from, why Eileen doesn't use it, and why it's completely fine if you do The three harvest festivals of the Wheel of the Year and where autumn equinox sits among them The Harvest Moon: why it's called that The luteal phase parallel: how the body turns inward in autumn just as it does in the second half of the menstrual cycle Why the common understanding of balance as a fixed equilibrium point is both appealing and impossible Where in your life things may have gotten rigid or out of alignment, and what this season is asking you to release "There is a day where the light and the dark are exactly equal — but it's one day among 365. It's a breath, and then it tips again."

	S3:E147 - Make-Believe as Magic: How Play Connects Us to the Otherworld and Why Adults Need It	07 Sep 2026	00:22:44
What if children aren't just pretending when they play make-believe, what if they're doing something we've forgotten how to do? In this solo episode, a spark of insight during a remote energy healing sends Eileen down a rabbit hole that connects make-believe, the Celtic Otherworld, adult play, and the virtue signalling we do with our busyness. It's a shorter, wandering, genuinely fun episode and it ends with an invitation to find the magic in the mundane before the dark half of the year begins. In this episode: The moment during a remote energy healing that sparked everything: make-believe as an entrance into non-ordinary states of reality and a connection to the Otherworld How children lost in play might be doing something remarkably similar to what we do with drums, breath, or walking meditation The Celtic Otherworld: overlaid on our world, accessible through the mists, and increasingly close as we move toward Samhain Why adults struggle to really play, even in spaces specifically designed for it like Dungeons & Dragons The rebellious act of suspending societal expectations long enough to just... pretend Busyness as virtue signalling Why timelines are often self-imposed, and what becomes possible when we decide to make our own The autumn equinox, balance, and the invitation to take some things off your plate as we move toward the dark half of the year The food-fork-hat game Eileen played as a child at the dinner table, and why it might be the best thing you hear today "Where might you be virtue signalling by your busyness? And where might you inject a little bit of play or make-believe back into your days?"

	S3:E146 - What Is Astrocartography? Land, Natal Charts & Finding Where You Belong with Charlie of Celestia Terra	31 Aug 2026	00:53:16
Have you ever felt inexplicably drawn to a place? There's a reason for that. In this episode, Eileen sits down with Charlie of Celestia Terra, certified locational astrologer and astrocartographer, for a conversation that begins with leaving a cult and ends with the radical idea that the land loves you back. Charlie's practice centers on reciprocal relationship with the land as the foundation of astrocartography, not the transactional "where should I move to get rich" version you might have seen online, but something far deeper, more grounded, and more beautiful. This conversation covers the origins of the practice, how to begin exploring your own map for free, and why reconnecting with the land where you live currently might be the most important thing any of us can do right now. In this episode:-Growing up in 20 acres of maple forest in Terracotta, Ontario... and being born into a cult-What finally prompted Charlie to leave, and why leaving a cult (or any high-demand community) is never the easy way out-How running ultra marathons, working in a natural food store, and hearing about a flower that talked back slowly rebuilt her relationship with the divine-What astrocartography actually is: your natal chart as a world map, combining the Earth's memory of the moment you were born with your own-The difference between planetary lines and local space lines, and why the transactional version of astrocartography misses the point-How to explore your own map for free using Astro Click Travel-Remote activation: how to work with your astrocartography lines without ever leaving home, through ethical sourcing of art, food, plants, and relationships-Why the land where you are right now already holds something for you — and how to begin that relationship today-Astrocartography as ancestral and past life work, especially for those with gaps in their lineage knowledge "If you yearn for a place, it yearns for you back.

	S3:E145 - Standing in Your Values: On Belonging, Disillusionment & Speaking Your Truths	24 Aug 2026	00:25:15
Have you ever been in a room that felt safe, until suddenly it wasn't? In this impromptu solo episode, Eileen shares what happened when she found herself in a business course this week alongside someone whose values turned out to be so far from her own that it sent her into a spiral of questioning: the room, herself, and what it means to know where you actually stand. From that moment of disillusionment came a values post she's been meaning to write for years along with this episode which is the expanded, unedited version of that. It's honest, it's political, it's personal, and it's an invitation to get clearer on the ground you stand on. In this episode: -What happened in a business course that made Eileen want to vomit, and what it cracked open -The difference between holding space for different perspectives and not tolerating dehumanization -Reciprocity, entanglement, and care for all beings: the three pillars of Eileen's values-The collapse we're living through, and why division serves the systems causing it -Coming back to enough: what most of human history can teach us about abundance, sharing, and skill -An explicit statement of values: trans rights, Black Lives Matter, Free Palestine, land back, water is life -Why Unleash Your Inner Witch exists, who it's for, and why the waitlist is open now "If you dream of a world where every body in their full expression is loved and accepted exactly as they are — I want you inside this space."

	S3:E144 - What Your Body Is Trying to Tell You: Embodiment, Movement & Self-Trust with Meg Aris	17 Aug 2026	00:41:44
What if your body has been trying to tell you something for years and the missing piece is simply learning how to listen? In this episode, Eileen sits down with her dear friend Meg Aris, mindful movement teacher, somatic coach, and founder of Wise Moves with Meg. Diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis as a teenager, Meg's relationship with her body has been one of deep, sometimes painful, and ultimately profound befriending. That lived experience, along with years of study, is woven into everything she teaches. This conversation moves through autoimmune illness and its unexpected gifts, the difference between acceptance and resignation in the body, the wisdom available in elderly bodies, and a quietly revolutionary question Meg asks in almost every class she teaches: "And what else is here?" In this episode: -Sitting in a bedroom window as a child, looking out at the stars, and knowing there was something bigger -How rheumatoid arthritis at a young age set Meg on her life's path through yoga, Pilates, and eventually somatic coaching -Why a severe flare-up that left her unable to hold a water glass became the turning point that deepened everything -The difference between acceptance and resignation and why it's so important to understand -Why we're wired to notice pain and not flow, and what it takes to consciously redirect attention -Wisdom from working with elderly clients: how finding what the body can do lights the whole thing up -The Wise Body Immersion: a three-month online journey through anatomy, embodiment, reflective writing, and community -What happens when women share the stories their bodies are telling them and how that witnessing ripples -The question that changes everything: "And what else is here?"

	S3:E143 - The Messy Middle: How to Cope When Life Is on Hold and Nothing Is Certain	10 Aug 2026	00:29:25
What happens when you've made the decision, done the work, and the relief just... doesn't come? In this solo episode, Eileen gets honest about where she's at: her house is listed but unsold, her plans are on hold, and she's been sitting in a prolonged stretch of uncertainty that has quietly taken a toll on her creativity, her energy, and her ability to show up the way she usually does. Rather than pretending it's fine, she's naming it and offering a reframe that might be exactly what you need if you're in your own version of the messy middle right now. Drawing on her years of experience as a midwife, Eileen shares a birth metaphor that captures the particular difficulty of this limbo state, and gently but honestly explores what it means to give yourself grace when your nervous system is under a stress you've been telling yourself isn't a big deal. In this episode: The Wild Roses Women's Festival and what a thousand women considering each other looks like in practice What matriarchy actually means and what it isn't The "epidural metaphor": why making a decision and not getting the relief on your desired timeline is its own specific kind of hard Why our brains will always choose the known hell over the unknown heaven How prolonged uncertainty impacts the nervous system, creativity, and daily capacity, even when you tell yourself it shouldn't The difference between spiritual bypassing and genuinely trusting the process while also acknowledging that something is hard The shift from "I have to" to "I get to" and why it isn't toxic positivity when you do it honestly Permission to have reduced capacity and to stop beating yourself up for it "Certainty is a myth, but really not being able to make a plan impacts all of the parts of your life, even if you try to tell yourself it's not a big deal."

	S3:E142 - How to Trust Your Intuition: Spiritual Awakening, Self-Trust & the Signal with Kelsey Anderson	03 Aug 2026	00:39:41
What if your intuition has been speaking all along, and the real work is simply learning to trust it? In this episode, Eileen sits down with Kelsey Anderson, an energy intuitive, author, and host of The Reclamation Podcast, whose path from corporate burnout to embodied spiritual practice mirrors so many of the journeys explored on this show. Kelsey's work through her community Reclamation Rising centers one core truth: the answers you're seeking outside of yourself were always within you. This conversation moves through postpartum awakening, the dangers of spiritual bypassing, the leap from corporate life, and what it actually means to come home to your body rather than escape it. In this episode: How Kelsey's body broke down in her mid-20s and launched her into spirituality out of sheer necessity The good girl conditioning and masking that kept her performing rather than trusting Why a true spiritual awakening is a homecoming to the body, not an escape from it Postpartum as a portal: how motherhood cracked open Kelsey's relationship with self-trust and interdependence The difference between strong and independent versus strong and interdependent Intuition as a threat to control: why women in their intuitive power become far less controllable Leaving corporate: how Kelsey went from two incomes to one, downsized everything, and built her work over seven years What to do if you want to live more intuitively but don't want to leave your corporate job How Kelsey's new book The Signal: Listen to Your Intuition Through the Noise of Modern Life arrived in five days of channeled writing she couldn't stop "When I trusted my inner voice, it was little pings, little whispers. Simple in the moment, but when you add them all up, it's compiled into your overall wellbeing."

	S3:E141 - Lughnasadh, the Celtic Harvest Festival & Why You Need to Celebrate How Far You've Come	27 Jul 2026	00:34:04
When did you last stop long enough to enjoy the fruits of your labour? In this solo episode, Eileen explores Lughnasadh, the ancient Celtic harvest festival, and the invitation it carries for our modern lives: to pause, look back, and actually celebrate how far we've come. Drawing on the mythology of the god Lugh and his foster mother Tailtiu, and the lens of Elise Loehnen's On Our Best Behavior: The Seven Deadly Sins and the Price Women Pay to Be Good, this episode looks honestly at why celebrating ourselves can feel dangerous, and what it might mean to finally let ourselves savour what we've accomplished.In this episode: -What Lughnasadh is, why it matters, and how to think about timing (August 1st, August 7th solar midpoint, or August 12th lunar — and why all of them work) -The three harvest festivals of the Wheel of the Year and how Lughnasadh sits as the first and most celebratory -The history of Lughnasadh as a season of fairs, markets, games, and community gathering and why it held its traditions longer than almost any other point on the wheel -The mythology of Tailtiu: who she was, what she sacrificed, and what Lugh's games in her honor ask of us today -Why rushing past our achievements without celebrating them is a form of disrespect, both to ourselves and to those whose sacrifices made it possible -Pride as a "sin" and how that conditioning keeps women especially from claiming what they've built -Sloth as a "sin" and the fear underneath it: if I slow down, I might not start again -A practical invitation to look back at the last six months and name what you've actually grown "She worked herself to death so that we don't have to.

	S3:E140 - Waking Up the Witch: Building Community, Authentic Spirituality & the Village We're All Craving	20 Jul 2026	01:02:38
What if the most revolutionary thing you can do right now is introduce yourself to your neighbor and ask to borrow some salt? In this episode, Eileen is joined by Amber and Taylar, co-hosts of the Waking Up the Witch podcast — a storytelling show exploring life, death, religion, spirituality, sex, magic, and everything in between. Amber owns Moon Be's Wellness, a witchy brick-and-mortar boutique in southern Oregon, and is a Reiki master and psychic gifts teacher. Taylar is a hairstylist, community connector, and self-described magic-maker who believes her gift is helping people see their own power. Together they also run Moonlight and Magic, an events company bringing witchy community together in person. This conversation wanders beautifully through spiritual origin stories, the return of village culture, what manifestation actually means when you strip away the toxic positivity, and why authenticity might be the most powerful thing any of us can offer the collective right now. In this episode: -Amber's origin story: a Wiccan mom, healing oils made from kitchen spices as a child, Reiki, and the psychic gifts she once thought were a curse -Taylar's path: Catholic kindergarten, The Secret, a psychic hairstylist, too much wine, one shared microphone, and a podcast born from pure curiosity -Why the witch wound still shows up in how we hide ourselves, even from the people closest to us -The difference between fitting in and authentic belonging, and how living authentically is what plugs you into the collective circuit board -Why the law of attraction falls short without community, action, and reckoning with systemic harm -Victory Gardens, borrowing cups of sugar, and why the village is both the antidote and the answer -The healing that can only happen in relationship, not in solo inner work -Asking for help as a radical act, especially for women conditioned to never be a burden -Why spirituality doesn't have to be serious: it can be lipstick at the grocery store, a bird outside your window, or dancing at the gay club on Saturday "Get comfortable being uncomfortable. That's what leads you to the parts you're supposed to be in this world, in your community, in the revolution." — Amber "Spirituality can be silly and playful and messy. It's really just asking you to be present." — Taylar Connect with Amber and Taylar on Instagram Check out the Waking Up the Witch Patreon community Join me for the next Wheel of the Year Ceremony Subscribe to Eileen on Substack Take the Which Witch Are You Quiz Order Awaken to the Magic Within Connect with Eileen on Instagram Follow Eileen on Insight Timer Send Eileen an email
	S3:E139 - From Self-Hatred to Self-Love: Healing Body Image, Addiction & Disordered Eating with Whitney Walker	13 Jul 2026	00:45:56
What happens when the thing you think will finally make you lovable, the right look, the right body, the right approval, never actually arrives? In this episode, Eileen has a conversation with Whitney Walker, licensed marriage and family therapist, recovery coach, and host of the Women Waken podcast. Whitney specializes in addiction, eating disorders, trauma, and spirituality, and she doesn't shy away from her own story: severe bullying, a debilitating eating disorder, addiction, and a self-worth built entirely on external validation that nearly broke her in her early twenties. This conversation traces Whitney's path from that rock bottom to recovery, sobriety, and a spiritual awakening rooted in self-love, and widens out into a larger conversation about the return of the divine feminine, sovereignty, and what a more conscious, balanced society could look like. In this episode: -Whitney's years of disordered eating, addiction, and the belief that being attractive was the only path to being loved -The therapist who first asked her, "Isn't there more to you than your appearance?" -The book and quote that cracked something open: "Trying to love yourself from the outside in is a doomed prospect" -Why getting sober and healing her relationship with food opened the door to a spiritual path -A trip to the UK that connected Whitney to her Scottish, English, and Irish ancestry, and the calling that followed: bring women together -The difference between conscious and unconscious masculine and feminine energy -Sovereignty as the most powerful tool available to any human right now -Why systems built on greed and exploitation are inherently unstable, and what might take their place -The role of truth and transparency in personal and collective healing "The greatest wisdom you can ever find is within you. You are your own greatest source of wisdom." — Whitney Walker Whitney's Website: Www.Womenwaken.com Find Witney's Podcast on Apple or Spotify Subscribe to Witney's Youtube channel Connect with Witney on Instagram Follow Whitney on Facebook Join Whitney on LinkedIn Join me for the next Wheel of the Year Ceremony Subscribe to Eileen on Substack Take the Which Witch Are You Quiz Order Awaken to the Magic Within Connect with Eileen on Instagram Follow Eileen on Insight Timer Send Eileen an email
	S3:E138 - Why You Don't Feel Like You Belong Anywhere (And How to Change That)	06 Jul 2026	00:28:24
"I don't belong anywhere." If you've ever felt this way, even in a space that felt safe and welcoming, this episode is for you. In this solo episode, Eileen explores why so many women feel like outsiders even in rooms full of people who love them, and unpacks the crucial difference between fitting in and true belonging. Drawing from a recurring pattern she's witnessed inside the Wise Wild Woman Mentorship, and from her own lifelong relationship with this exact wound, Eileen breaks down why belonging has to start as an inside job, and why vulnerability, as uncomfortable as it is, is the only real path there. In this episode: The difference between fitting in (which requires shrinking) and belonging (which requires showing up) The two reasons "nobody understands me" often feels true, and what to do about each one Why self-knowledge and self-acceptance have to come before belonging to others The question most of us have never asked ourselves: what do I actually want, outside of what's expected of me? Why vulnerability never stops feeling vulnerable, and what we're actually building when we practice it Discernment in vulnerability: why it matters who you open up to, and how to ask if someone has capacity The fear of being "a burden," and why that fear so often keeps us from the connection we're craving How practicing vulnerability gives other people permission to do the same "In order to belong, we must feel understood. And in order to be understood, we must be willing to show up and share ourselves."

	S3:E137 - Decolonizing Spirituality, Sacred Sound & Building Communities of Care with Stephanie Keiko Kong	29 Jun 2026	00:49:15
What if the most radical spiritual act available to you right now is saying hello to your neighbor? In this episode, Eileen is joined by Stephanie Keiko Kong — public speaking and digital marketing strategy coach, theater artist, yoga therapist, and community weaver whose practice centers BIPOC, femme, and queer thought leaders. Growing up in Hawaii with a deep land-based relationship to the natural world, Stephanie brings a perspective on spirituality that is at once ancient, practical, and quietly revolutionary. This conversation wanders beautifully in ways that will light up your mind and body. From Sanskrit mantra and self-hypnosis to the psychedelic power of group singing, from the colonization of our bodies to the radical simplicity of hyper-local community care. It's one to sit with and return to. In this episode: Growing up in Hawaii with a land-based spiritual practice and the heartbreak of realizing not everyone lives this way The divine mundane: how a cup of tea, a Beyonce song, or a slice of bread can be a portal to the sacred Years of dedicated Sanskrit mantra study and the humbling moment of realizing she'd been missing the whole point The "transcendence bias" hiding inside Western interpretations of Eastern spiritual traditions Self-hypnosis, group singing, and drumming at 147 BPM... a few of the many doorways into non-ordinary states of reality Why plant medicine is compelling for so many Westerners, and what it offers that hasn't yet been colonized "Severance from land is empire's first consent violation" — a teaching from Ihilani Cho that reframes everything The magic of hyper-local community care and why change at that scale is both simple and inevitable Curiosity as a revolutionary practice, a spiritual foundation, and the prerequisite for genuine compassion Playing Hamlet as the Hawaii Shakespeare Festival's first ever non-binary Hamlet, and what that meant for the queer arts community in Honolulu "Thank you for staying curious in a world that would rather have you smile and nod and shut up." — Stephanie Keiko Kong Find Stephanie on Instagram Sign up for Stephanie's email list at her website Check out Stephanie's upcoming program Liberatory Leadership beginning in late July Join me for the next Wheel of the Year Ceremony Subscribe to Eileen on Substack Take the Which Witch Are You Quiz Order Awaken to the Magic Within Connect with Eileen on Instagram Follow Eileen on Insight Timer Send Eileen an email
	S3:E136 - Embodying the Goddess: Reclaiming the Body & Dismantling Spiritual Bypassing Ft. Cynthia Abulafia	22 Jun 2026	00:49:44
What happens when spirituality teaches you to transcend your body but doesn't teach you how to return to it? In this episode, Eileen sits down with Cynthia Abulafia, author, educator, yoga therapist, and longtime student of the goddess traditions of Tantra. Cynthia's debut book Embodying the Goddess challenges what she calls the transcendence bias of patriarchal spirituality: the pervasive idea that the body, emotions, and sensory experience are somehow less sacred than stillness, silence, and transcendence. What she offers instead is a path of radical integration. Climbing the ladder both up into transcendence and back down into form. This conversation goes deep, fast. From Kundalini awakening to the bargains we make with our own hearts, from the exploitation hiding inside Neo-Tantra to the surprising power of devotion in a post-religious world, this is one to sit with. In this episode: * The "transcendence bias", why so many spiritual traditions teach us to leave the body rather than inhabit it * What Kundalini awakening actually is, and what a spiritual crisis can teach us * The goddess traditions of Tantra and why most of their sacred texts still aren't translated or publicly available * What the divine feminine is not, and how Cynthia defines it (hint: it's about the capacity to hold opposites) * "Bargaining the heart", the invisible contracts we make without knowing it, and how finishing the sentence "I will be happy when..." is the key * Why 25% of Westerners now identify as spiritual but not religious and what we've thrown out with the bathwater * Curiosity as a spiritual practice, a political act, and a path back into connection * The Celtic thread: how the goddess tradition in Irish mythology shows a radically different relationship between sovereignty and the land "Notice what you notice. Honestly, that's the whole teaching." — Cynthia Abulafia Visit Cynthia's website Connect with Cynthia on Instagram Join me for the next Wheel of the Year Ceremony Subscribe to Eileen on Substack Take the Which Witch Are You Quiz Order Awaken to the Magic Connect with Eileen on Instagram Follow Eileen on Insight Timer Send Eileen an email
	S3:E135 - Summer Solstice Rituals, Celtic Mythology & the Lost Art of Play	15 Jun 2026	00:29:11
Summer solstice is here, the longest, brightest day of the year. The time known as Midsummer throughout ancient Europe. In this solo episode, Eileen explores the mythology, energetics, and seasonal wisdom of this luminous peak moment on the Wheel of the Year, and weaves in a teaching that's very much alive in the Wise Wild Woman Mentorship right now: the radical, necessary act of play. In this episode: * The Celtic Wheel of the Year and why Summer Solstice is called Midsummer even though we know it as the beginning of summer today * The Oak King and the Holly King and the mythological battle at the heart of the solstices * A brief look at the two primary Celtic deities associated with this turn of the wheel: Áine (Awn-yeh), Irish sun goddess and Fairy Queen of the Tuatha Dé Danann, and Lugh, the Shining One * Why the veil thins at midsummer and what Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream has to do with it * The science of play and what the National Institute for Play's research reveals about why adults need it as much as children do * How we were slowly conditioned to believe play is indulgent, childish, or something to be earned * Why play can feel genuinely unsafe for women whose nervous systems learned that worthiness is tied to productivity and usefulness to others * Small, accessible ways to weave play back into your daily life this season "We put rest off 'until...'. We put play off 'until...:'. And that 'until' never comes." 🌿 Summer Solstice Ceremony June 19th, 2026 (in-person Calgary + hybrid) 🌿Take the Which Witch Are You Quiz 🌿Order Awaken to the Magic Within 🌿Connect with Eileen on Instagram 🌿Follow Eileen on Insight Timer 🌿Send Eileen an email
	S3:E134 - Inherited Trauma, Family Constellations & Healing the Wounds You Didn't Create with Dr. Meher Chahal	08 Jun 2026	00:35:08
What if the patterns you've been trying to heal don't actually originate with you? In this episode, Eileen is joined by Dr. Meher Chahal, former psychiatry resident turned ancestral healing practitioner, astrologer, and author of Unlicensed Medicine. Dr. Chahal left Western psychiatry after realizing the system was designed to treat symptoms, not reach their root. What followed was a profound personal and professional journey through family constellations, somatic work, shadow work, and what she calls psychological alchemy.Her story led her to a framework for transforming the heaviest parts of your lineage into your greatest source of power. In this episode: -What family constellations actually are and why they're so difficult to explain until you experience them -The epigenetic science behind inherited trauma (hint: when your grandmother was pregnant with your mother, you were already a cell in your mother's ovaries. Her stress was your stress) -Why you should never gaslight yourself with "but I grew up privileged" and what Pete Walker's work on complex PTSD reveals about premature gratitude -The difference between having awareness of your trauma and having genuine compassion for its effects -Why Dr. Chahal left psychiatry and what a pre-ulcer at residency taught her about living out of alignment -The thin line between "cycle breaker" identity and the humility that ancestral healing actually requires -How the witch wound connects to epigenetic and cultural trauma patterns "Give healing precedence, but also give life precedence.

	S3:E133 - Acceptance vs. Resignation: How to Stop Fighting What Is and Find Peace	01 Jun 2026	00:29:32
Have you ever lain awake at 4am, counting down the hours of sleep you're losing and planning for all the worst case scenarios? In this solo episode, Eileen shares the mindset shift that changed everything for her, from fighting her circumstances to finding the gift within what she cannot change. Drawing on a sleepless early morning, the chaos of listing her house for sale, and the wisdom of the turning seasons, Eileen explores one of the most important distinctions she returns to again and again: the difference between acceptance and resignation. Resignation makes us victims of our circumstances. Acceptance makes us orchestrators of them. But how do we actually get there without bypassing what's hard or pretending everything is fine? In this episode: -Why acceptance is not the same as giving up and why that distinction matters deeply -The practice of listening to your body and actually acting on what she's asking for -How aligning with the natural rhythms of the seasons supports surrender and trust -What a 4am wake-up taught Eileen about equanimity, presence, and self-compassion -Why this time of year (Bealtaine through Summer Solstice) tends to disrupt sleep and how to work with it rather than against it "Resignation turns us into victims of our circumstance. Acceptance turns us into orchestrators of our circumstance."

Together, Eileen and Angell explore the religion wound, reclaiming prayer and God in a personal way, why people pleasing can block intuition, and how boundaries can become a deeply spiritual practice.

	S2:E109-Witchcraft, Consumerism & the Holiday Season: Practicing Magic with Intention	01 Dec 2025	00:27:11
In this solo episode, Eileen explores the tender edge between holiday consumerism and intentional spiritual practice. As December begins—our darkest month in the Northern Hemisphere—she reflects on the pressure to buy, do, and rush, even as nature invites us to rest, restore, and return to ourselves.

	S2:E101 \| Trusting Your Intuition, Body Wisdom & Feminine Power with Dr. Aumatma Simmons	29 Sep 2025	00:40:27
What happens when we finally stop ignoring the whispers of our intuition? 🌙 In this powerful episode of The Woo Curious Podcast, host Eileen sits down with Dr. Aumatma Simmons — naturopathic endocrinologist, bestselling author, and intuitive leadership guide. Together, they explore how our bodies speak to us, what happens when we override our intuition, and how embracing feminine wisdom can transform fertility, leadership, and everyday life. ✨ Inside this episode: Dr. Aumatma’s early spiritual journey, including a year in silence at a monastery Lessons from ignoring intuition in relationships & health Simple tools to strengthen trust in your body’s wisdom Why feminine cycles hold the key to authentic leadership How men are also embracing intuition in business and beyond Dr. Aumatma is a double board-certified Naturopathic Endocrinologist who discovered that her greatest breakthrough came not from speaking louder, but from learning to listen deeper. After nearly 20 years in practice, she evolved from fertility expert to intuitive leadership guide, teaching high-achievers to trust the wisdom their bodies already hold. Dr. Aumatma founded the Holistic Fertility Institute, supporting couples to create families through natural approaches, and has trained hundreds of doctors in fertility specialization. She's the best-selling author of "Fertility Secrets: What Your Doctor Didn't Tell You About Baby-Making," host of the award-winning podcast "Egg Meets Sperm," and co-founder of Madre Fertility, the world's first Smart Fertility Analysis app. Her journey from clinical expertise to inner wisdom culminated in her transformative approach: "Lead with Silence." Through this methodology, she helps leaders—especially women—shift from exhaustive overthinking to inspired, sustainable decision-making rooted in body wisdom and intuitive knowing. Featured on ABC, FOX, CBS, KTLA, MindBodyGreen, and The Bump, Dr. Aumatma's recent TEDx talk explores how silence became her superpower. She bridges ancient wisdom with modern neuroscience, showing audiences how to access their inner intelligence for authentic leadership and purposeful living. Her mission has expanded from creating healthier babies to creating healthier leaders—those who trust their inner knowing to make decisions that serve not just themselves, but the world. 📲 Connect with Dr. Aumatma on Instagram Follow Dr. Aumatma on Facebook Subscribe to Dr. Aumatma's Youtube Follow Dr. Aumatma on TicTock Connect with Dr. Aumatma on LinkedIn 👉 Learn more about Unleash Your Inner Witch with Eileen Order Awaken to the Magic Within Connect with Eileen on Instagram Follow Eileen on Insight Timer Send Eileen an email If this episode resonates, follow the show, leave a review, and share it with your woo crew. 💫
