93 - From Manufactured Chaos to Soft Living: Navigating the Rise of the Matriarchy with Gina Luker (Shabby Creek Cottage)


Listen Later

A FEW THINGS WE TALKED ABOUT

Why joy is not frivolous—it’s essential.

How to observe chaos without absorbing it

Alchemizing anger into action

Grounding techniques to pull you back to yourself (barefoot walks, simple rituals)

Why online friendships and community can be just as real—and healing—as in-person ones

How feminine energy can help rebalance a world spinning off its axis

What it actually looks like to embrace your authentic self in a world that often shames it

Why creativity is your most reliable compass during uncertain times

Letting go of the pressure to save the world while still lending a hand

The truth about money and how it amplifies who you already are

SOUND BITES

"The matriarchy is the highest good for all."

"We have to focus on joy every day."

"Community is not a one-way street."

"Walking outside barefoot is grounding."

"Ten minutes a day is all it takes."

"Life is to savour it and enjoy it."

"Your soul will never lead you astray."

"That was medicine for my soul."
