Welcome to the Modern Sacred: Women's Work Podcast!
In this episode, Chelsea and Abby sit down with lifelong friend and astrologer Rachel Jernigan to explore the rich terrain of self-knowledge, spiritual growth, and the art of being fully human. Together, they reflect on reconnecting as adult women and dive deep into how astrology can illuminate our path toward self-actualization and 2026 astrological predictions.
From abundance and detachment to the dance between human desires and spiritual awareness, this conversation navigates the intersection of ego, feminine energy, and personal empowerment. Rachel and Chelsea also discuss the transformative power of letting go, embracing both our human and spiritual selves, and understanding the cosmic rhythms that shape our collective consciousness.

For women seeking to reconnect with their body, intuition, and feminine power, the Modern Sacred Podcast explores a slower, more intentional, sacred life outside of hustle culture for those…
The Modern Sacred Podcast is devoted to the reclamation of feminine power — the quiet, fierce, and divine essence that lives within every woman. Hosted by Chelsea Henderson and Abby Payne, this is a space for women ready to slow down, reconnect with their bodies, and reclaim their feminine power through deep connection with other women. Through soulful conversations, storytelling, and heart-centered dialogue, we explore what it means to embody the sacred in a modern world shaped by hustle, hierarchy, and the lingering echoes of patriarchy.
Each episode invites you to return to your body, your intuition, and your truth — offering reflection, inspiration, humor and practical guidance for women seeking a slower, more intentional rhythm, authentic self-expression, and supportive community.
We dive into topics like sacred feminine practices, conscious living, embodiment rituals, reclaiming sexuality and creativity, nervous system regulation, and the art of being witnessed.
Beyond the podcast, Modern Sacred offers ways to gather with other women virtually and in person through the Modern Sacred Membership.
