The Aligned Path podcast

This episode isn't about surviving perimenopause. It's about reclaiming it as one of the most powerful seasons of your life.

Stacey Wilkinson spent decades as a litigation lawyer and global general counsel before leaving law to help women live with feminine intelligence. She blends ancient wisdom, Ayurveda, human design and breathwork so women can live in rhythm with who they are and with nature.

After a brutal perimenopause left her sleepless, foggy and frightened, Stacey chose a different path. In this conversation she shares how that choice transformed her body, her life and her work.

In this episode, you'll learn:

→ What feminine intelligence actually is, and why being ambitious and driven doesn't make you any less feminine

→ Why you can feel disconnected from yourself even when your life looks good on paper (and how to reconnect with who you are)

→ How to step out of the stories keeping you stuck, and why no one is coming to save you

→ Stacey's four pillars for restoring your life force energy

→ Why simple daily rituals outperform complicated wellness routines

→ What the Western approach to perimenopause and menopause is missing, and why this season isn't your body failing you

→ How to reframe midlife as your "wise sage" era, and what younger women can do now to prepare for it

This episode isn't about finding who you are. It's about remembering who you came here to be.

Tarra Rullo left a career as a marketing executive to follow her spiritual path, becoming a Vedic astrologer (Jyotish), the ancient Sanskrit "science of light." Her work centres on self-mastery, using astrology to illuminate who you already are rather than hand you a new identity.

She's back on the podcast for round two, unpacking what her corporate chapter taught her, how she deconditioned from it, and what her days look like now, from Ayurvedic rituals to natural approaches to beauty and aging.

In this episode, you'll learn:

→ How to spot what you already knew deep down, even in a season that didn't feel aligned

→ How to tell the difference between a knowing that arrives all at once and one that reveals itself gradually

→ What it really takes, emotionally, spiritually, and practically, to leave a path that no longer fits

→ The conditioning worth questioning if you want a life and business that actually feels like yours

→ How understanding your own timing and gifts can change the way you lead, instead of pushing against the clock

→ Ayurvedic rituals to help you feel more grounded, clear, and radiant in everyday life

→ A more natural approach to skin, energy, and beauty, without relying on Botox

This episode isn't about becoming a calmer person. It's about learning to feel safe in your own body even when life doesn't slow down.

Michelle is a nervous-system-led coach, corporate leader, and creator of The Spacious Woman Method; helping high-achieving women move from pressure, overthinking, and survival mode into safety, clarity, and spaciousness.

Michelle is a past client and this conversation is her real transformation story from playing it safe in corporate to saying yes to herself, her business, and the life she used to only picture in her head.

After 25 years leading in high-stakes corporate environments, Michelle began unraveling the subconscious patterns and nervous system conditioning underneath high achievement, hyper-responsibility, and burnout. Her work now blends nervous system regulation, subconscious transformation, emotional healing, and spacious living to help women reconnect with themselves while still building full, meaningful lives.

In this episode, you'll learn:

→ How to tell the difference between managing your calendar and actually regulating your nervous system

→ A simple practice for reading your triggers as information instead of a problem to fix

→ How to create real spaciousness in a busy life, without waiting for things to calm down first

→ Why vulnerability is a leadership skill you can practice, not just a feeling you have to get comfortable with

→ The first brave step Michelle took to build her business and how she gave herself permission to keep going

You built your capacity in survival mode. Now it's time to lead from safety instead.

Estelle sits down with Felicity Morgan the Shadow Queen - a globally recognized shadow work expert and the founder of Shadow World, the world’s first shadow work app. She’s breaking people free from the fake love-and-light spirituality game and handing them the only toolbox they’ll ever need... shadow work. Felicity is obsessed with telling it like it is, living so grounded and regulated that she never has to pretend, and helping people become emotionally intelligent superhumans.

In this episode we dive deep into:

• What shadow work really is (and why “love & light” often keeps you stuck)
• How sneaky shadows like manipulation, jealousy, or lying can quietly sabotage your relationships, business, and health
• Why self-awareness without self-responsibility is just another form of victimhood
• The connection between burnout and incongruency (hint: it’s not the work draining you)
• How Felicity transformed manipulation into influence and built a million-dollar business within 12 months
• Motherhood as the most confronting (and liberating) shadow work portal you’ll ever walk through
• Reframing fear as the compass that points you directly toward growth
