EP 029 feat. Wild Maven Wellness (pt 2)
Annie Mesaros [Spiritual Counselor]
Baltimore, MD
In Part two, Annie reveals how her "Dark Night of the Soul" led to a complete break from the church. She explains how she rebuilt her spirituality through nature & intuitive practices, & now works as an "emotional support witch" to help others find their unique rhythm. To create pockets of healing, that can ripple out & change the world.
EPISODE OUTLINE
The Breaking Point
(00:01:14 - 00:07:42)
Annie explores the profound aftermath of her "Dark Night of the Soul," which fractured her trust in the religious institution that raised her. She details her final break after her advocacy for inclusion was rejected, a pivotal moment that propelled her out of organized religion & onto a new, personal spiritual journey.
Intuition Over Institution
(00:15:22 - 00:22:09)
This section reveals how Annie constructed a new spiritual framework centered on self-trust. She introduces tools like tarot as mirrors for introspection, & champions a fluid, seasonal approach to practice that defies rigid dogma. Her philosophy empowers individuals to shed external "shoulds" & discover what truly nourishes their spirit in each season of life.
Sanctuary for the Spirit
(00:22:09 - 00:32:48)
Annie brings her mission to life by detailing her work creating accessible, low-stakes communities through moon circles & one-on-one sessions. The conversation culminates in her visionary dream of a nature retreat—a sanctuary for underpaid helpers—showcasing her commitment to building healing spaces where personal & collective transformation can ripple outward.
