  • S5:Episode 68: Elizabeth Breckenridge on Tarot, Deity Work, Transformation & The Gods Nobody Talks About

    There are conversations that stay with you long after the recording ends.

    This is one of them.


    Elizabeth Breckenridge is a Tarot Reader, Channeler, and Spiritual Coach whose practice lives at the intersection of two things most people keep separate — tarot and deity work. Specifically, the Infernal Divine: gods from other cultures that were demonized, suppressed, and silenced — particularly during the spread of Christianity. Gods who, in Elizabeth's experience, are not what they've been made out to be.

    This conversation goes places most podcasts won't.

    Join us as she traces her path from a childhood steeped in spiritual curiosity to a professional practice built on the marriage of tarot and deity work — and shares what she's discovered on the other side of every narrative she was handed. She talks about tarot not as a system to be memorized but as an art form — imagery designed to stoke intuition, to take you somewhere you couldn't have arrived at through thinking alone.

    She speaks about the transformation archetype — the descent into the underworld, the facing of what's there, the re-emergence changed — and what it means to work consciously with that kind of energy. And she does all of it with a groundedness and generosity that makes even the unfamiliar feel approachable.

    This isn't an episode about convincing you of anything. It's an invitation to get curious — about tarot, about the gods history tried to erase, about the parts of yourself that have been waiting in the underworld for someone to finally come looking.


    WHAT WE COVER

    • Elizabeth's path into tarot — from childhood curiosity and a spiritually rich family background to building a full practice as a reader and coach.
    • The Infernal Divine — what it means, where it comes from, and why Elizabeth believes these demonized gods deserve a second look.
    • Tarot as art and science — how imagery works on the intuition and why Elizabeth teaches presence with the cards over memorization of meanings.
    • Deity work and tarot together — how these two practices layer and deepen each other in ways neither can do alone.
    • The transformation archetype — descent, facing what's there, re-emergence — and what it means to work with this consciously.
    • The versatility of tarot — from shadow work and self-inquiry to meditation, divination, and some of the most unexpected reading situations Elizabeth has found herself in.
    • How to deliver difficult readings with compassion — Elizabeth's approach to navigating the harder moments of the practice with grace.
    • Practical advice for beginners — why intuition and imagery matter more than memorization, and how community changes everything.

  • S5: Episode 67 - How the Tarot's 10 of Wands Can Help You Untangle Life's Heavy Knots

    ABOUT THIS EPISODE

    You already know what it feels like to carry too much.

    The weight that doesn't announce itself dramatically — it just accumulates. Slowly. Quietly. Until one day you realize you've been moving through life bent under a load you can't quite name and haven't quite been able to set down.

    In this episode Patricia brings the tarot into the conversation — not as prediction, but as mirror. Specifically, the 10 of Wands. That figure in the card, bent forward under a bundle of heavy staves, barely able to see where they're going. If you've ever looked at that image and felt something shift in your chest — this episode is for you.

    Patricia traces the history of exhaustion — from the Victorian-era diagnosis of Neurasthenia to modern burnout — and asks the question underneath all of it: what have we been conditioned to carry, and who decided it was ours to hold?

    This isn't just an intellectual exploration. Patricia moves through the emotional and energetic cost of living under too much — the toll it takes on the body, on finances, on relationships, on the quiet sense of self that gets buried under the doing. She weaves in reflection questions that don't let you off the hook gently: What would it feel like to set one thing down? Where are you waiting for permission to ask for help? What are you holding that was never actually yours?

    And she introduces the Body Map — a tarot spread, guided art practice, and journal prompts woven together as a somatic creative experience to help you locate where the burdens are living in the body and begin the honest work of untangling them.

    Because the knots don't dissolve from the outside. They loosen from within.

    WHAT WE COVER

    — The history of exhaustion — from Neurasthenia to burnout — and the cultural conditioning that taught us to normalize carrying too much.

    — The 10 of Wands as a living archetype — what this tarot card reveals about the weight we carry and why we keep picking it back up.

    — The emotional, physical, and financial toll of chronic over-responsibility — and why it's rarely just about being busy.

    — Reflection questions to help you locate your knots — what to let go of, where to find support, and how to stay open when the weight starts to lift.

  • S5 Episode 66 The Queen of Visibility on Showing Up as Yourself with Juliette Stapleton

    What if the thing you thought was wrong with you was actually the most powerful thing about you?

    That's the question at the heart of this conversation with Juliette Stapleton — online visibility strategist, Amazon bestselling author, and the woman know as "The Queen of Visibility."

    Juliette's path to this work wasn't linear. It moved through building websites in the early days of the internet, organic Facebook marketing, a move from Ireland back to Estonia, the quiet of 2020, her husband's death, grief, a short marriage, burnout, and eventually — Human Design.

    Discovering she was a 1/3 Projector didn't just change her business. It gave her permission to be herself. To work in bursts instead of grinding. To guide instead of hustle. To stop waiting to be invited into rooms and start trusting that her presence was the invitation.

    In this conversation Juliette and Patricia talk about what it actually means to build visibility that doesn't cost you yourself. About solopreneur overwhelm and what to do when the business you built starts to feel like a cage. About perimenopause, grief, and the things that quietly reshape you while you're busy trying to hold everything together.

    And about the question Juliette now applies to everything in her life — the one that changed the direction of everything. Will it cheapen me?
    This episode is for the woman who has been building visibility on everyone else's terms and is ready to find out what it looks like on her own.


    WHAT WE COVER

    • How discovering Human Design gave Juliette permission to stop performing productivity and start working with her actual design — including what it means to be a 1/3 Projector in a world built for Generators.
    • The wizard in the hut — Juliette's unforgettable reframe of Projector energy that will change how you understand your role as a guide.
    • Solopreneur overwhelm, perimenopause, grief, and burnout — the real life experiences that shaped Juliette's approach to simplicity, sustainability, and authentic visibility.
    • Why AI can handle your admin but cannot replace your voice — and what happens to your audience when it tries.
    • "Will it cheapen me?" — the single question Juliette uses as her compass for every business and life decision.
    • What magnetic visibility actually looks like — and why it has everything to do with your standards and nothing to do with your posting frequency.

    ABOUT JULIETTE STAPLETON

    Juliette Stapleton is an Online Visibility Strategist and the Amazon bestselling author of 'On Marketing and Human Design'. Known as "The Queen of Visibility", she helps solopreneurs and experts align their marketing and fulfillment using Human Design — so they can build businesses that are as sustainable as they are seen. She has been featured in Entrepreneur magazine and brings to her work a rare combination of deep strategic expertise and hard-won personal wisdom.

  • S5: Episode 65 - The Exhaustion Beyond the Exhaustion: When the body Stops Negotiating

    ABOUT THIS EPISODE

     There's the exhaustion everyone can see. And then there's the other one.

     

    The one that doesn't lift after a full night's sleep. The one that's been there so long you stopped noticing it. The one living quietly underneath everything you hold, everything you do, everyone you show up for.

     

    In this episode Patricia gets personal — raw and unfiltered — about the exhaustion that lives beyond the surface. The kind that doesn't come from your schedule. The kind that comes from something older. Long-held emotions stored in the body. Survival patterns learned so early they became invisible. Parts of yourself set aside so consistently you forgot they existed.

     

    She talks about what it looks like to be highly functional and deeply depleted at the same time — praised for reliability, celebrated for capacity, while something underneath quietly unravels.

     

    And she shares her own moment — a panic attack on a highway returning to a teaching job at the Grand Canyon — when her body finally stopped negotiating and insisted something had to change.

     

    This episode is for the woman who has been holding it together so well that nobody — including herself — has noticed what it's costing her.

     

    WHAT WE COVER

     — The difference between surface exhaustion and the deeper depletion that rest can't touch — and why they require completely different approaches.

    — How high-functioning women can be simultaneously praised for their capacity and quietly disappearing inside it.

    — What a panic attack on a highway taught Patricia about misalignment, fight-or-flight, and what happens when the body stops waiting to be heard.

    — Why healing this kind of exhaustion requires the body, the breath, and expression — not more strategy, more optimization, or more willpower.

    — How emotions that never got to finish moving store themselves — and what it takes to finally let them complete.

  • S5:Episode 64 - The Ten Year Old CFO

    What if your money problem has nothing to do with money?

    What if it started in a room you haven't gone back to yet — at an age you were never supposed to be carrying what you were carrying — with a voice that told you something about your worth that was never, ever true?

    In this episode of Mindfully Disruptive, Patricia gets into the money wound that lives below every budget, every abundance affirmation, every financial strategy that works for a while and then somehow doesn't.

    This is the episode for the woman who works hard, does everything right, and still cannot figure out why the money never quite lands and stays.


    What You'll Hear in This Episode:

    Patricia opens with a confession that reframes everything: she became the CFO of her family household at ten years old. Not metaphorically. She was writing checks and balancing the family bank account because her father needed her to hold it.


    She traces how that one moment compounded across a lifetime and shows how each experience layered onto the original wound, confirming the same belief in new rooms with new people.

    Patricia then draws the distinction that changes everything for women who are stuck in money cycles despite their intelligence, their work ethic, and their desire to break free.

    You cannot discipline your way out of a somatic imprint.

    The pattern is not in the spreadsheet. It is in the body. 

    She explains the protective logic underneath the pattern was never self-destruction. It was a ten year old's brilliant, loving attempt to keep you safe from something that felt absolutely catastrophic.

    And she shares what she has learned about what it actually takes to change it. Not strategy. Not discipline. Not another framework.

    Retrieval. The body. Creativity. Coming home.


    Who This Episode Is For:

    This episode is for the woman who grew up holding everything together — who became responsible before she was ready, who learned that her needs required justification, who built competence into an art form because competence felt safer than vulnerability.

    It is for the woman who has tried every money strategy and still finds herself in the same cycle wondering what is wrong with her.

    Nothing is wrong with her.

    She has a ten year old running her finances. And that ten year old is doing exactly what she learned to do to keep them both safe.

    It is also for the woman who recognizes herself in the room — whatever age it was, whatever room it happened in — and is finally ready to go back and get her.


    Ready to Go Back and Get Her?

    Your inner child that has been the CFO of your finances for long enough.

    The Untangling is a focused three session experience designed to go underneath the strategy and find the knot. The room. The age. The nervous system story that has been quietly making decisions on your behalf for longer than you know.

    Not therapy. Not a twelve week program. Three sessions to find it, name it, and begin to hand her back her childhood while you take back your financial life.

    Because you have been paying interest on someone else's debt for long enough.

  • S5: Episode 63 - The Wart on my Nose

    What does a 4am dream have to do with a 17-year-old pattern you never knew you were carrying?

    Everything. As it turns out.

    In this episode of Mindfully Disruptive, Patricia shares one of the most unexpectedly honest conversations she has ever had — with herself, on a morning walk, after a dream cracked open something she had been carrying since long before she had words for it.

    This is not a tidy episode about healing. It is a real-time excavation of a pattern that was hiding in plain sight. On her nose. Like a wart she somehow never noticed.

    If you have ever done significant personal work and still felt like something was running quietly underneath all of it — this episode is for you.


    What You'll Hear in This Episode:

    Patricia walks through a vivid early morning dream — the kind that comes during deep REM sleep between 3 and 5am when the unconscious is doing its heaviest processing. Expanding circles of blue and green. A mall. Her oldest son watching his father from a distance. And then — her ex-boyfriend, the one who broke her heart deeply, showing up to offer comfort while she stood with a completely puzzled expression on her face.

    She breaks down what each dream image was doing.

    Patricia traces the thread and names the pattern underneath all of it for the first time out loud.

    She explores how this belief quietly shaped her relationships, her nervous system, and the way she received — or didn't receive — comfort, love, and support across decades of her life.


    Who This Episode Is For:

    This episode is for the woman who has done the work. Who has been to therapy, read the books, done the journaling — and still feels something running quietly underneath that she cannot quite name.

    It is for the woman who grew up holding everything together and learned somewhere along the way that love comes with an expiration date she cannot predict.

    It is for the woman who is standing at a threshold in her own life — career, relationships, identity, midlife — and feels something old trying to surface that is ready, finally, to be seen.


    Ready to Find Your Own Wart?

    Most of us are not confused about our lives in general. We are carrying one or two very old, very tangled stories that are quietly running the show.

    The Untangling is a focused three session experience designed to help you find the knot — the one thing underneath the thing — and begin to loosen it.

    Not therapy. Not a twelve week program. Three sessions. We find it. We name it. We start to set it down.

    Because the comfort and the wound arrived together. You don't have to keep carrying them that way.

  • S5:Episode 62 -Inherited Exhaustion: When Tired Is in Your DNA

    What if your exhaustion isn't about your schedule?

    What if it's older than you?

    In this episode of Mindfully Disruptive, Patricia gets into something most wellness conversations completely miss — the exhaustion that lives in the body not because of what you did last week, but because of what your lineage survived for generations.

    This isn't burnout from overcommitment. This is something deeper. Something inherited.


    What We Cover:

    The historical roots of women's exhaustion — how centuries of layered oppression, forced labor, displacement, and domestic servitude didn't just shape culture. They shaped nervous systems. And those nervous systems shaped ours.

    For women of color, Indigenous women, immigrant women, and women from minority communities, this inheritance is not metaphorical. It is encoded. Survival adaptations like hyper-responsibility, overworking, not complaining, and enduring without asking — these were not character flaws. They were life-saving strategies. And they got passed down.

    Patricia traces how these adaptations show up in the body today — chronic alertness that rest doesn't resolve, pelvic and diaphragm tension, anxiety, autoimmune disruption, hormonal imbalance, and a particular brand of fatigue that eight hours of sleep cannot touch.

    She also draws a critical distinction that changes everything:

    Endurance is not vitality. Surviving is not thriving.

    And she gets honest about her own reckoning — the moment she realized that real leadership isn't about stabilizing everything around her. It's about discernment. About knowing where to place her energy and where to finally, deliberately, stop.


    The question this episode leaves you with:

    Where are you still running survival-led energy in situations that no longer require your survival?

    Because awareness is always where the reclamation begins.


    Ready to untangle the patterns running underneath your exhaustion?

    The Untangling is a focused three session experience designed to find the knot beneath the strategy — the nervous system story that has been quietly making decisions on your behalf for longer than you know.

    Not therapy. Not a program. Just three sessions to find it, name it, and begin to loosen it.

  • S5: Episode 61 - The Knowing Beneath Burnout: Living in Emotional Entanglement

    The Knowing Beneath Burnout: Living in Emotional Entanglement

    In this episode, we explore a quieter truth about burnout.

    What if you’re not exhausted because you’re doing too much —
    but because you’ve been living inside long-standing emotional entanglement and over-responsibility?

    Many women, especially women 40+, aren’t just tired from work. They’re depleted from years of managing emotional climates, staying in misaligned jobs or relationships, self-silencing to keep the peace, and using willpower where support and structure were needed.

    I share parts of my own story — carrying adult responsibility from a young age, appearing steady while internally overwhelmed, and experiencing a physical collapse from severe burnout in 2023. During recovery, I began using creative expression and somatic awareness to untangle what rest alone couldn’t repair.

    This conversation distinguishes between ordinary overwork exhaustion and the deeper corrosion of emotional messiness and misplaced responsibility. Because exhaustion isn’t always asking for more rest.

    Sometimes it’s asking for softness.
    Space.
    Creative healing.
    A reorganization of your inner systems.

    At the end of the episode, I introduce an intimate program for women called The Untangling — a held container for those ready to move from emotional overwhelm into clarity, vitality, and sustainable structure.

    If this resonates in your body, you’ll know.

  • S5: Episode 60: The Mani-Pause:You're Not Fading—You're Just Done Performing: Redefining Beauty in Menopause

    You're Not Fading—You're Just Done Performing: Redefining Beauty in Menopause

    The beauty industry has a message for women in menopause: You're fading. You're aging out. You need to fight it, fix it, reverse it.
    We call bullshit.

    In this unapologetic ManiPause conversation, Patricia and Marina take on the beauty industry's exploitation of menopausal women's insecurities—and why we're done buying what they're selling.
    We're not fading. We're not becoming invisible. We're just done performing beauty for the male gaze, for Instagram, for a society that profits off our fear of aging.

    And what happens when you stop performing? You start radiating.
    In this episode, we explore:
    • How the beauty industry weaponizes menopause to sell you "solutions" to a problem that doesn't exist
    • The insidious ways social media amplifies aging insecurity (filters, anti-aging content, "age-defying" everything)
    • Cultural differences in how aging women are valued (and why Western culture fails us)
    • What self-acceptance actually looks like when you've been conditioned to hate aging
    • Challenging traditional beauty standards that were never designed for us anyway
    • The difference between beauty (external performance) and radiance (embodied presence)
    • Role models who are aging boldly and redefining what's possible
    • Why self-love and authenticity are radical acts in a youth-obsessed culture

    This conversation isn't about "embracing aging gracefully." Screw graceful. This is about embodying your power, your presence, your radiance—unapologetically.

    We close with reflective questions for listeners:
    • What would change if you stopped trying to look younger and started radiating who you actually are?
    • Where are you still performing beauty instead of embodying radiance?
    • What new definition of beauty do YOU want to initiate?

    You're a Manifestor woman in menopause. You're not here to fade quietly. You're here to redefine what radiance looks like.
    The beauty industry can keep their anti-aging creams. We're choosing presence, power, and embodied radiance instead.

  • S4: Episode 59-The Mani-Pause:When Menopause Isn't a Choice: Ana Roxana's Journey Through Medical Menopause and Reclaiming Power

    When Menopause Isn't a Choice: Ana Roxana's Journey Through Medical Menopause and Reclaiming Power

    Some women enter menopause gradually. Anna Roxana Lia Chaga was thrust into it—medically induced at a young age during breast cancer treatment.

    In this raw and powerful ManiPause conversation, Patricia and Marina welcome Ana Roxana—power systems engineer, artist, holistic practitioner, and Splenic Manifestor—for a deeply personal dialogue about navigating menopause when it's not on your timeline, not your choice, and compounded by cancer treatment.

    Ana shares what most people don't talk about: the brutal reality of anti-hormonal therapy side effects, the loss of identity and sexuality, the fear that comes with a cancer diagnosis, and the long journey back to reclaiming your body, your power, and your sexual health.

    This conversation goes deep:
    • Medically-induced menopause during breast cancer treatment (and how it's different from natural menopause)
    • Managing severe side effects from anti-hormonal therapy while trying to live your life
    • The grief of losing your body's natural rhythm before you were ready
    • Navigating perimenopause AFTER medical menopause (yes, that's a thing)
    • Embracing her identity as a Splenic Manifestor and what that means for healing
    • Reclaiming sexual health when your body has been through trauma
    • The Breast Cancer Confidence Project and supporting women through the journey
    • Holistic practices that supported her healing beyond Western medicine
    • Trusting yourself and not letting fear dictate your decisions

    Ana's message is clear: Don't let fear run your life. Trust yourself.
    Whether you've been through medical menopause, natural menopause, cancer treatment, or are supporting someone who has—this conversation will remind you that reclaiming your power is possible, even when your body has been through the unthinkable.

    This is what happens when Manifestor women refuse to let circumstances define them.
