The BeHER Podcast

How to navigate the mess.

Step three of the new era alignment with Barbara Ann Gardner Driscoll and the Serenity Prayer as our guide.

If you have been feeling the weight of what is happening in the world right now and wondering how to keep moving forward without bypassing the truth of it, this episode is for you. We are at step three of thirteen in the new era alignment of the Intuitive HERoine™, our adventure from the September equinox to the winter solstice. And this step takes us to a more tender place.

In this episode, our guide is my mother, Barbara Ann Gardner Driscoll. Born in Missouri in 1941 into the dust of World War II, and now at 85, standing on a one-way street to heaven. My mother is calm, grounded, and at peace. While the rest of us ricochet between fear and grief and love, my mother is steady. Her anchor for more than 30 years has been the Serenity Prayer. And it turns out, it is also the perfect navigation for where we are right now as women walking through the dismantling of the old era.

This one is for the woman who is done pretending she is fine with the state of the world, who knows she is walking in the right direction and just needs to remember she is not walking alone.

We follow the moon, the natural calendar of a woman’s mood, emotion, and body cycles.

At the New Moon, you pause and set your intentions, and I guide you in your next HERoine moves.

At the Full Moon, we gather in circle with women just like you. You are guided. You listen. And if you feel like it, you share your story.

In circle, you are seen and safe. It fills your cup.

It’s a place to land, just for you. Not your work. Not managing your life. Just you.

Members also receive the Intuitive HERoine toolkit (journal prompts, meditations, and activations) and 50 % of Intuitive Channeled Readings.

The New Era Sessions: All 10 Episodes Found Here

Understanding why what you have been shrinking is exactly what the new era is asking you to amplify.

You were never too much. You were never too weird, too intense, too different. You were just in an era that didn’t know what to do with you. That era is over.

This is step two of thirteen in the new era alignment of the intuitive heroine, our 13-week adventure from the equinox to the winter solstice. Step two is about letting your unique quirks, gifts, and talents lead.

In this episode, I share the story of Sage, my son, the quirky kid who withdrew the moment school tried to make him the same as everyone else. Until he decided that what made him different became a power to own.

The wisdom of a six-year-old unlocks our second step.

This is a story about reintroducing yourself to the world with full authority, and what that has to do with your leadership right now.

This one is for the woman who has been quietly shrinking something true about herself because she wasn’t sure the world was ready for it.

The new era is ready. And my hunch is, so are you!

The journey, adventure, and experiment starts now.

This is week one of thirteen. Over the next thirteen weeks, we will shimmy into the new era alignment for the Intuitive HERoine. And it starts with the move that unlocks everything.

If you have ever looked around at your life and felt like nothing is working… your relationship, your business, your sense of belonging… and wondered what the hell you are supposed to do about it, this is where we begin.

We start with radical responsibility. It is the first step in the new era alignment for the Intuitive HERoine. Not only is it the move only you can make, but it is also what anchors us in this chaotic, changeable time. The new era is here, and right now, it ain’t comfy.

In this episode, I share more about the 13 weeks ahead and our collective alignment of the Intuitive HERoine in the New Era so we can all get jiggy with it. And then, I share a story from a few years ago when radical responsibility was the intuitive navigation that saved me from a marriage that was breaking, a business that was grinding, and a government that kept saying not yet. This is the story of what those two words unlocked and why they are the first move in a journey that runs from now through to the winter solstice.

Here is how the 13 weeks work.

Every week you get Field Notes on Substack, a real-time account of what is actually unfolding in the journey.

A New Era Session will be highlighted so you can go deeper into the conversation that navigates us to where we are in the alignment.

Every Friday, a dedicated podcast episode brings you a story because story is how we rewire and story is how we change. (This is #1!)

And for BeHER Community members on Substack, the Sunday Sessions are where we do the damn thing, the activation, the one move, the radical step forward into the next week.

This Sunday, the 27th, we have our first community circle. Members, your calendar invite has been sent. Reach out to me if you need help getting into the circle.

This is for the woman who is done giving her power away and ready to take it back.

Subscribe to the BeHER Collective on Substack to follow along through field notes and weekly episodes. Upgrade to community membership for the Sunday Sessions where we do the damn thing together.

Week one. What’s going to happen? We don’t know, and that’s the best part.

Do you dare?

I double-dare you to make the one move that only you can make. The move that unlocks your power and potential.

HERoines! This is your OFFICIAL Invitation to The New Era Sessions, a series of live conversations on Substack with women leaders who are reshaping what leadership looks like right now.~ LIVE on Substack, 14th to 18th of September. Tune in to learn more & unlock your invite below.

Did you get the memo? The New Era is HERE.

Everyone is talking about the new era. But what is it actually, and more to the point, what are you supposed to do about it? This episode is for every woman who can feel that something is shifting but cannot quite name it yet. The new era is not a buzzword. It is a massive opportunity for women and our leadership, and it is loading in right now.

This episode breaks down what the Age of Aquarius actually means, why the old models of power are fighting so hard to hold on, and why women alive right now are the seed planters of something that will ripple for generations. This is not about waiting for permission or finding your place in a man-made box. The new era is asking for something entirely different from us, and this episode will tell you exactly what that is.

This is your official invitation to the New Era Sessions, a live event happening on Substack the week of September 14th to 18th with nine women leaders who are already in the new era and have something important to say about it.

Subscribe to the BeHER Collective on Substack right now so you do not miss a single conversation.

Wednesday 12th or Thursday 13th of August, 2026, depending on where you are in the world was our new moon eclipse and the opening of our second eclipse season of 2026.

The energy is a universal invitation to play, and I feel so strongly about play and in particular play with the universe that it felt necessary to share the replay of the LIVE moon circle as a podcast episode

Eclipse energy is about change, realignment, endings and beginnings.

Spoiler Alert: The essence of THIS eclipse is your identity upgrade.

Whether you are jiggy with it, or if eclipse energy is brand new, the new moon eclipse replay is your guide to play, possibility, and expansion.

Say yes and step on up!

Tune into the new moon eclipse episode to:

* Learn exactly is eclipse energy and why should I pay attention?

* Understand what paying attention actually means? AND How to do just that?!

* Know what NOT to do this new moon, or any new moon eclipse.

* AND join in on the interactive vision board with the universe activation that you can activate NOW.

Make space for magic now. Invite Intuitive Wisdom. Listen.

Heart and palms open. Looking forward. Expect the best.

As mentioned in this episode, all paid subscribers on Substack are journeying together through COSMIC CATALYST, the magic ride through the pre, during, and post eclipse energy. This is the upgraded eclipse journey. You are invited to join us!

Stop hiding your magic.

If you have ever known something powerful lived inside you and spent years keeping it quiet because you were not sure the world was ready to receive it, this episode is for you.

Holly Gooden is the reluctant witch, and her story sits right at the intersection of self-trust and the courage it takes to stop hiding what you are.

Holly spent years opening the broom closet door, getting mocked or feeling scared, and closing it again. That is why she is the reluctant witch! Through recovery, a spiritual awakening, a tarot practice that is entirely her own, and now creating her own spell books, she is now out and claiming her magic.

This is not a story about arriving. It is a story about what it costs to keep going back to the door until you finally walk through it and refuse to close it again.

This one is for the woman who knows she is one step away from who she really is and keeps finding reasons to wait.

SPECIAL GUEST ~ Holly Gooden, The Reluctant Witch

Holly is a witch who uses spells, intuition, and tarot to explore her power and the messages from the Universe. Holly’s passion and excitement for magic have shown her opportunities beyond her wildest dreams. Deb D’s tutelage and mentorship have provided Holly with guidance and the confidence to dream. Holly now reads Tarot professionally, helping others to see what’s in themselves. She helps them to get out of their own way to hear the Universe’s guidance.

When the mission chooses you.

If you have ever had a dream that the world kept trying to put in a box, this episode is for you. Sonya Costello has been building the Be Love Movement for over a decade, and it has been an act of courage over doubt every single step of the way. This is the unexpected love story of what happens when a woman is asked to let love lead while fear of judgment is screaming in the background.

It started with a sticker. One sticker, a graphic designer friend, and a feeling she could not shake. What followed was ten years of doubt, buried dreams, other people’s opinions, and a mission that refused to die no matter how many times she almost let it go. The Be Love Movement is not what most people think love looks like. And that is exactly the point.

This one is for the woman who knows she was given something real and keeps talking herself out of it anyway.

SPECIAL GUEST ~ Sonya Costello, founder of the Be Love Movement

Be Love Movement started with two words on a parked car that stopped founder Sonya in her tracks every morning: Be Love.What began as a simple sticker, something she created just to share that feeling with others, grew into a heart-centered community built on one core belief: love is abundant, always present, and powerful enough to change the world one small act at a time.Sonya built this movement from personal experience, knowing what it feels like to need a reminder that love is still here, even in challenging times. That's exactly why Be Love exists: to inspire positive change, cultivate meaningful connection, and remind people that self-love, compassion, and kindness are never small things.Whether you're sharing a smile with a stranger or showing up more fully for yourself, you belong here. Join the journey and help us change the world…one heart at a time.

This episode is for every woman who is ready to reclaim her story, her self-trust, and her power.

Holly Corbett spent years as a journalist at some of the biggest magazine houses in the world, weaving women’s stories into print, and it took her own identity shift to realise she had been telling everyone else’s story while quietly abandoning her own.

Holly and Deb D go deep on the moment Holly followed her intuition into New York City with no job and no plan, how human design cracked open her identity in ways data alone never could, and why the line between journalist and intuitive reader was never as clear as she thought. This one is full of the kind of honesty that makes you want to call out your own life.

This is for the woman in midlife who feels ready for something bigger but hasn’t quite allowed herself to yet.

Ep 17 of The BeHER Podcast

You have read the books, done the programs, followed the practices, and still feel like you are getting it wrong, or maybe it only works for some women, and you are not her.

There is a reason for that, and it is not you.

This episode is for every woman who is serious about personal growth and ready to understand what actually creates lasting change in a woman’s life, beyond the read.

Did you read The Secret? Do you remember that book?

And more importantly…did it change your life?

In this episode, I share the story of what happened when I read that book and how it cracked open a question I have been seeking the answer to for years. As someone who intends to write a lot of books, this question is one I could not ignore.

My Question…

If the book is not enough, what is the recipe for changing a woman’s life?

I show you the difference between a learning journey and a living journey. I pull back the curtain on the research behind my book in progress, The Way of the Intuitive HERoine, and why the answer to real transformation is not one thing but a whole ecosystem of tools built for the long game.

This one is for the woman who is done collecting insights and ready to actually live differently and do the damn thing. In other words, to BeHER.

Episode request: Come find us on Substack at the BeHER Collective and tell Deb D what book changed your life.

The Intuitive HERoine is a global community of women who are ready to reclaim intuitive wisdom, remember who the f*ck they are, and return to HERoine status in their story, life, and leadership. There is a spot saved for you. Join us.

Episode 16 of the BeHER Podcast

Nobody wants to hear that it’s going to take a year. But here is what personal growth for women who are in the middle of a real transformation actually looks like: it takes the time it takes, and the women who stop racing toward the destination and settle into the journey are the ones who actually get there.

This episode starts in the dust and heat of post-civil war Sri Lanka, five months after Sage’s death, on the phone with my mother and her wisdom of timing, and when she told me what I did not want to hear.

Thank the goddesses I listened. Even though I didn’t want to.

This episode is about timing, transformation, and it is the marker for the first full year of the BeHER Collective.

Tune in to hear how the year it takes is evident everywhere, in nature, the moon, and the astrological calendar. They all point to the same truth about transformation.

Tune in to hear what I have learned about women, intuitive wisdom, and choosing yourself, over the first year of The BeHER Collective.

This one is for the woman who is somewhere inside a big change and wondering why it is not done yet.

Join the collective on Substack, where the next chapter of this journey is unfolding right now.

NOW! July 10th is our birth-date and we are celebrating all month long

To mark the moment, I am offering intuitive card readings and, for the first time, personalized channeling with Sage and The Blue Family.
