How to Stand in the Rubble and Trust the Rebuild

Welcome back to A Kind of Meadow with your host, Rhiannon Vaughn! This week, we’re continuing the conversation with the incredible actor, comedian, and writer Madison Shepard. Known for her roles in Barry & Single Drunk Female, Madison returns for a powerful discussion following her healing in Part 1, where she worked through “a tower card of a year.”

In this episode, we dive into key themes of navigating loss, the tension of visibility, and embracing our sparkle, including:

  • The Tower Card & Transformation: Madison reflects on how the destruction of old structures made way for new beginnings in her life, a reminder that renewal follows destruction.
  • Visibility and Vulnerability: We discuss Madison’s fear of being seen in her career as an artist and how embracing visibility, even when uncomfortable, can lead to growth and connection.
  • The Creative Fire: Madison shares the importance of letting her heart “burn” with creative intensity, using discomfort to build resilience rather than avoiding emotional challenges.
  • Legacy Through Art: Madison resonates with the story of a girl painting in a cave, left behind by her clan, and how art has the power to transcend time even if it's not immediately recognized.
  • Mirror Reflections: We explore the concept of surrounding yourself with people who reflect back your true essence, helping you see your potential and growth and the reality that not everyone is a good mirror--especially as a public person.

    • If you missed Part 1 of A Kind of Twilight, I encourage you to listen to the full healing session, where Madison dives deep into themes of visibility, creative expression, and rebuilding from the rubble. The healing work we did is available for anyone who listens, inviting you to clear, release, and receive the energy of the session.

    Tune in to this inspiring conversation, where we explore the process of breaking down and rebuilding stronger than before. 🌙
