Life-Boats & Lighthouses: Practices That Keep Us Steady in a Changing World

As we move into 2026, the pace of life isn’t slowing down—but many of us are being asked to.

In this solo episode of Rise of the Goddess Collective, I share a deeply personal reflection on what it means to stay steady during times of change.

From a semi-retired season of life to embodied practices like Pilates, somatic breath-work, sound healing, free-flow movement, and walking along the Charles River, this episode explores the life-boats that help us stay afloat—and the lighthouses we become when we live from grounded presence rather than force.

I also share a pivotal story from my memoir The Big Trick—a motorcycle accident that shattered a fairytale narrative and became an unexpected invitation to slow down, listen to the body, and redefine where true safety lives.

How this episode connects across my work:

• Rise of the Goddess Collective remains the podcast container, with this episode launching a special themed arc focused on Life-Boats & Lighthouses.

• The Big Trick serves as a story anchor, with personal excerpts and reflections that may later be woven into a companion workbook.

• Decoding Authority practices are shared at the end of each episode, offering simple reflections and somatic tools to integrate what you hear into daily life.

This episode is an invitation to:

• Release the pressure to have it all figured out

• Reconnect with the wisdom of the emotional and physical body

• Build simple, sustainable practices that support regulation and clarity

• Lead and live as a steady light—without burning out

You don’t need to shine brighter.

You just need to stay present.

Settle in, breathe deeply, and let this episode meet you where you are.
