The Be Mythical podcast is a top 1.5% globally ranked show for old souls in this new world to be inspired, guided, and activated by deep, soul-stirring explorations with remarkable thinkers, wisdom keepers, visionaries, and healers about how to overcome the greatest challenge of your life… To become your unique medicine and actualise your own soul’s myth.

Old souls are the ones who came here in these crazy modern times to do vital work in service of Spirit and their communities… typically as spiritual practitioners, coaches, innovators, disruptors, healers, teachers, medicine people, and visionary leaders.

We’ve been running since 2014 so there are hundreds of mythical, magical, and mystical episodes to choose from that weave together ancient ways for modern days… shamanism, archetypal work, rewilding, embodiment, alchemy, psychedelics and plant medicine, astrology, non-dual spirituality, shadow work, and so much more.

In short, Be Mythical is the antidote for old souls struggling to find their way in this new world.

Listen now to join us for the mythical adventure that your soul has been calling you into.

Our love and blessings,

This week’s show is a special one in which Be Mythical Soul Guide Sara J. Sanderson interviewed Lian about all things ‘doing the work’ - inspired by Lian’s recent post on the topic. Lian and Sara explored the concept of 'doing the work', a term often used in personal development and spirituality circles, often without an understanding of what it really means. They delve into the differences between truly doing the work and other forms of self-improvement, emphasising the importance of consciously choosing the Great Work of individuation and union. Some of the questions explored and answered were: 1. How can we differentiate between 'the work' and other forms of self-improvement or self-care practices? 2. Could you provide examples of how 'the work' relates to individuation, and union? 3. In what ways can we identify whether we're truly engaging in 'the work' versus engaging in activities that may seem similar but ultimately bypass the deeper aspects of ourselves? 4. Can you share more about the role of fear and resistance in undertaking 'the work', and how one can overcome or navigate through these challenges? 5. Could you provide ways those who are feeling called to embark on 'the work' are supported? And if you are a healer, guide or coach how do you ensure you are supporting in the best way? The conversation highlights the role of fear and resistance in preventing us from doing the work and the challenges of recognising and navigating our projections and co-dependency. They also touch upon the potential pain and challenge of doing the work, as well as the importance of community and support in the process - which is why we created UNIO, The Academy of Sacred Union. We’d love to know what YOU think about this week’s show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you’ll learn from this episode:   The Great Work involves consciously looking at the hidden aspects of ourselves and bringing them into the light, whilst seeing and navigating all of the illusions, blockages, fear, and resistance that will show up along the way.   The work can take various forms, such as shadow work, inner child work, or working with teacher plants but no matter the form, it requires a conscious devotion to the Great Work for it to be so.   Recognising and becoming accountable for our projections and codependency is an essential part of doing the work.   Doing the work can be challenging and painful, but is for those is it right for - a choiceless choice and one of the most rewarding ones we can make - having a supportive community and seeking guidance from those who understand the Great Work is crucial in sustaining the journey.

How to know if you're really "Doing The Work"? - Sara J. Sanderson interviews Lian Brook-Tyler

All The Everything is Lian’s monthly solo show where she often shares what she’s been creating, consuming, and celebrating before diving deep into a topic inspired or chosen by members of the Be Mythical fb group. The LIVE making of the show is recorded in our Facebook group and for the first 30mins before Lian hits the record button you are invited to a pre-show party to get up close and personal with Lian and have your questions on the month’s topic answered. To receive a reminder of when the pre-show party and LIVE making of All The Everything is happening, make sure you’re subscribed to our email list and are a member of the Facebook group. All the details you need are HERE! In this show, Lian shared her own version of the folktale ‘Fox Woman’ and the powerful symbols of Fox Woman, her Pelt and the Hunter that it invokes. She shares her personal experience with the story of Fox Woman and the synchronicities that led her to explore this folktale. After Lian tells the story, she invites listeners to engage with what it activates within them, offering questions for reflection. The story follows a lonely hunter who discovers mysterious acts of kindness in his cottage, leading him to encounter a woman who is part woman, part fox, and part spirit. The tale of Fox Woman and the Hunter explores the relationship between the mythical feminine and masculine, and invites us to be in conscious relationship with each of these within our own pysche. We’d love to know what YOU think about this week’s show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you’ll learn from this episode:   The banishment of the Mythical Feminine is a common theme in society, both internally and externally - the story of Fox Woman invites us to reflect on how we banish and reject these aspects of ourselves.   Fox Woman represents the accepted, nurturing face of the Feminine, while her pelt symbolizes her wildness, power, and enchantment. The Hunter represents the part of us that banishes these aspects of the Feminine to feel safe and accepted.   This story highlights the suffering that occurs when we separate parts of the Feminine and reject the fullness of her expression - it invites us to recognise and embrace all aspects of the feminine within ourselves and in the world.

Fox Woman: How we banish the mythical Feminine and the price we all pay for doing so  - Lian Brook-Tyler

Are you ready to uncover the old story that may be keeping you from living fully? Having quit her life long profession as a dental hygienist due to chronic back and shoulder pain, and navigating all the additional challenges that arose with that, guest Kate Motley began on a long journey of self discovery to reconnect her back to her sense of self and what she was here for. The endless fears Kate has faced along the way, and her own personal resistance to the work that is required, has given rise to a deeply embodied upstanding of what it is like to transform overwhelming feelings of shame, into loving ourselves back to life. Kate’s experience has ignited a passion in her to support women who may also have experienced a disconnection to themselves. Through her offering of women’s sharing circles, Kate creates the opportunity for women to share their hearts in the presence of others. In this show, Kate and Lian explored Kate’s journey from living her old story of people-pleasing and keeping herself small to embracing her new story of living from her brave heart. Kate reflects on her upbringing, and how she didn’t even realise the effects of it until she began the work making it conscious and understanding its impact on her life. They explored Kate’s journey of liberation and the challenges she faced along the way in her own healing, right up until the present day, when she’s stepping into the role of being medicine for others. We’d love to know what YOU think about this week’s show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you’ll learn from this episode:  Understanding and uncovering our old story is crucial for personal growth and healing, especially when we are here to be medicine for others. Resistance and fear often arise when we are called to step into our new story, but with support and bringing love to our inner child, we can move through it to take the aligned steps. As Kate’s story shows, for many old souls, it’s essential that once ready, we serve our medicine to others - in doing so, we bring the deepest healing to ourselves.

How to go from imprisoned by people-pleasing to living from a brave heart - Kate Motley

Have you considered how alchemy can affect your personal growth and healing?  William Apple, a Psychological and Spiritual Mentor, as well as a Psychodynamic Coach, joins Lian as a returning guest to explore the concept of alchemy and its relevance in healing and individuation. They delve into the traditional definition of alchemy as the process of turning lead into gold, and how it’s used metaphorically - which is the psychological aspect of alchemy, as described by Carl Jung. They highlight the appeal of alchemy and the tendency for people to project their fantasies and unmet needs onto the concept. They also discuss the shadow side of alchemy, including the dangers of misunderstanding and unintentionally bypassing the work, especially when we dive straight into collective shadow work, instead of beginning with the inner child. We’d love to know what YOU think about this week’s show. Let’s carry on the conversation…  please leave a comment below. What you’ll learn from this episode:   Alchemy is the process of turning lead into gold, both literally and metaphorically - psychological alchemy, as described by Carl Jung, involves the work of becoming conscious of our internal processes in service of individuation.   The appeal of alchemy lies in the recognition of a natural inclination towards wholeness and the desire to refine and transform ourselves, however there is a danger in projecting fantasies and unmet needs onto the concept of alchemy, as it can prevent us from engaging honestly in the real work.   It is important to understand the lineage and historical context of alchemical teachings to avoid appropriation and make-believe.   Begin with the inner child - recognising the oppressed child within - is essential in any true shadow alchemy. This is why we need to work with the personal shadow before we begin the work of the collective shadows that we all share.
