In this deeply introspective episode of the Stefanie Joseph Podcast, I share a raw and vulnerable journey through a period of profound personal and spiritual despair. I reflect on how global tragedies have left me emotionally drained and spiritually disconnected, pushing me into a metaphorical "death of self." I open up about my attempts to seek solace through meditation, journaling, and spiritual conversations, only to realize I needed to navigate this period alone. This solo passage, culminated in a transformative Vedic astrology reading that validated her experiences of loss and signaled the end of a 17-year life cycle.

Emerging from this phase, Stefanie likens her experience to a rebirth, mourning the loss of past inspirations and professional pursuits while setting her sights on new beginnings. She embraces the necessity of honoring life's cycles and transitions, emphasizing the importance of vulnerability and adaptability. As part of her personal evolution, I am going all in on the Reclamation movement, inviting individuals to shed societal masks and rediscover their true selves. Through candid reflections on her entrepreneurial challenges and the profound loss of her sister, I commit to fostering a community centered on remembrance and acceptance, all while continuing her dedication to collective liberation and spiritual awakening.

⁠Meet Danielle: Danielle is currently reinventing herself. She is living in the liminal space between what was and what is to become. After 20 years in the health and wellness industry serving her clients as a medical aesthetician, she made the brave choice to honor the whispers of her soul and say goodbye to a beautiful career. This decision was not easy, in fact it was agonizing. What once was her passion, was no longer. She is honoring her decision to take the leap of faith, stepping fully into the unknown and into the truest version of herself. Danielle is a healer, a mother, an alchemist, wisdom seeker and intuitive. She has a deep desire to help others step into their own power, create magic and allow for seamless transformations of their own.

Please welcome Camille Leak, a DEI Practitioner as we talk about building capacity for differences. I have personally worked with Camille in somatic work exploring how my body was responding to a racial incident with my son. I also have learned so much from Camille in my time in the Holistic Life Navigation community.

⁠Meet Camille: Camille Leak (she/her) has been a DEI Manager at two Fortune 200 enterprises. In this role, Camille helps lead the company's efforts to foster a culture of inclusion by recommending and implementing DEI related programming, including Employee Resource Groups, Mentoring Programs, Communication Strategies and Learning & Development curricula.
