  • #114: 2 Year Anniversary - How a Podcast Became a Mirror for Healing, Friendship and Growth

    Summary

    Two years. 100+ episodes. And somehow, Feminine Alchemy is still getting braver, deeper, and more real. This anniversary conversation is part celebration, part reckoning, and part love letter to the listeners who have made the podcast what it is. Jaye Anne Beringer, Kayelee Rose, and Julie Dean Richards look back on what this show has changed in their lives - from in-person meetups and award moments to the messy, beautiful work of showing up publicly when you are still healing privately. They talk candidly about friendship, feedback, vulnerability, and the strange magic of realizing real people are actually listening. In this episode, you'll discover:

    • why the podcast became a grounding force for all three hosts
    • how shadow work, self-doubt, and imposter syndrome show up behind the mic
    • what it means to stop editing yourself for fear of being misunderstood
    • why sister wound, comparison, and scarcity thinking keep women playing small
    • how bridging the “messy middle” creates more freedom, not less

    Jaye Anne shares how podcasting helped her feel more grounded and confident on stage. Kayelee opens up about the ways the show has surfaced old wounds, forced integration, and helped her claim her voice. Julie reflects on intimacy, being seen, and how teaching publicly has changed her relationship with her own private self. Together, they explore why consistency is hard, why being wrong is part of the process, and why growth often comes from the very places we want to avoid. This episode is a reminder that the work is not about being perfect - it's about being present, honest, and willing to keep going.

  • #113: The Art of Being a Sovereign Human in the Age of AI with Astrid Heystee

    Summary

    AI is speeding up faster than our nervous systems can handle—and most people are responding by abandoning their bodies, their creativity, and their sense of self. In this episode, Julie Dean Richards sits down with human design embodiment coach and digital nomad Astrid Heystee to unpack a radically different approach: how to stay rooted, protect your humanity, and use AI without letting it use you. Astrid shares why burnout in the AI era is not just about workload, but about time, identity, and the way technology pulls you further into your mind while your body gets left behind. She breaks down the hidden cost of “AI magical time,” why productivity culture makes it dangerously easy to ignore basic needs, and how to recognize when speed is replacing presence.

    This episode is perfect for anyone feeling overwhelmed by AI, disconnected from their body, or unsure how to protect their voice in a rapidly changing world. If you want a grounded, practical, and deeply human perspective on technology, this episode will help you slow down, re-center, and trust yourself again.

    Astrid Heystee is a human design embodiment coach, Reiki practitioner, and digital nomad known for weaving together AI, self-awareness, and nervous system regulation. She hosts the Stay Rooted podcast and helps people build a more conscious relationship with technology while staying connected to their own inner truth.

  • #112: Mercury and Venus Retrograde: An Invitation to Change How We Think and What We Value

    Summary

    Venus and Mercury are retrograde together, and that means it is time to stop, look inward, and get brutally honest about love, money, communication, and self-worth. If you have been feeling pulled toward old relationships, old patterns, or old versions of yourself, this episode shows you exactly what that pull is trying to reveal. Jaye Anne Beringer and Kayelee Rose break down what this rare overlap means in Scorpio and Libra, why the shadow period matters just as much as the retrograde itself, and how to work with the energy instead of getting steamrolled by it. They connect the astrology to real-life choices, from journaling and mirror work to when to pause before signing contracts, texting an ex, or making any major life decisions.

    Kayelee shares a grounded, embodied way to move through Venus retrograde with curiosity instead of self-judgment, while Jaye Anne offers the practical astrology map that helps you understand which part of your chart is being activated and why. Together, they turn a confusing transit into a powerful opportunity for reflection, recalibration, and deeper self-trust. They also preview Kayelee’s new Substack series, The Descent: a Tender Reckoning, a free set of posts with somatic practices and journaling prompts designed to support you through the retrograde season. They also share details about the first-ever Resonant Astrology Summit, featuring Jaye Anne, Julie, Seidel Schultz, Haban Delelata, and Elise Houston, with embodied teachings on asteroid goddesses like Ceres, Juno, Vesta, Pallas, Venus, and more. This episode is perfect for anyone who wants to navigate retrograde season with more clarity, more compassion, and a lot less chaos.

  • #110: The Tarot: The Minor Arcana - Life in the Details

    Summary

    In this episode of Feminine Alchemy, Jaye Anne, Julie, and Kayelee explore the Minor Arcana—the 56 tarot cards that speak to everyday life, present circumstances, and the smaller shifts that shape our larger story. They break down the four suits and their elemental correspondences: Wands for passion and action, Pentacles for the physical world and resources, Swords for thought and communication, and Cups for emotions and relationships. The conversation also offers an approachable guide to the meanings of the number cards, from the potential of the aces through the resolutions and endings of the tens, along with a look at Pages, Knights, Queens, and Kings. Finally, they explain how tarot spreads add context to a reading and encourage listeners to use tarot as a flexible tool for reflection, intuition, and self-discovery—not a fixed prediction of the future.

  • #109: The Tarot: The Major Arcana - The Big Picture

    Summary

    The Major Arcana isn’t a pile of random tarot cards - it’s a full spiritual roadmap, and this episode breaks down the journey card by card so you can finally read it with confidence. If you’ve ever felt curious about tarot but overwhelmed by the symbolism, this conversation gives you a clear, grounded way in.

    In this episode, Jaye Anne Beringer is joined by co-hosts Kayelee Rose and Julie Dean Richards for a fast-moving, deeply insightful walkthrough of the Major Arcana, from The Fool’s blank-slate beginning to The World’s sense of completion. Along the way, they unpack what each card is really pointing to - intuition, manifestation, structure, choice, courage, surrender, transformation, shadow work, and renewal - without turning it into a dry lecture.

    You’ll discover:

    • Why The Fool is less about stupidity and more about radical openness
    • How The Magician, High Priestess, Empress, and Emperor map divine masculine and feminine energy
    • What reversed cards really mean, and why they’re not something to fear
    • How cards like The Lovers, The Chariot, Strength, and The Hermit reflect major life decisions and inner development
    • Why Death, The Tower, The Devil, and The Moon are often about transformation, not doom
    • How The Star, The Sun, Judgment, and The World signal healing, joy, discernment, and integration

    Julie brings the symbolic and spiritual depth, Kayelee asks the questions listeners are likely thinking, and Jaye Anne ties it all together with a practical, reflective approach that makes tarot feel accessible instead of intimidating. Together, they turn the Major Arcana into something you can actually understand, not just memorize.
