The Priestess Podcast

You have likely heard me say more than once on The Priestess Podcast that our shadow, fears and ego self have so much to teach us as human beings and are not things to push away or deny. They only grow in ways that can make them even harder to face when we do that! And I speak from experience - which maybe you can relate to as well. Tracy Neely is here with us on the show today to speak to how our wounds - and in particular our emotional wounds - can be a pathway of transformation for us into wisdom we hold deeply within and is calling to be loved and integrated into our everyday life. Tracy has a beautifully spiritual and very grounded way of helping us look at the darker parts of ourselves and how we can honour them in such a way that they become teachers, guides and wayshowers in our lives. This is a special episode that shows us so deeply that all of our life experiences can have lessons within them that are waiting for us to become wiser through.

I know that many of you who listen to The Priestess Podcast own your own businesses or desire to. And for those of you who don't - believe me when I tell you that this episode ahead still has deep relevance for you too because in truth, it's about life just as much as well. Che Johnson is a sacred leader in the space of gentle and 'soul-stainable' business. Her heartfelt desire is to ensure all heart based entrepreneurs have businesses that are gentle, caring and reflective of their own energy and needs - which clearly is in wild opposition to the push and hustle and grind culture that we sometimes see present in the online world. Che's loving nature and wise words ahead on how to create a business that truly serves YOU as well as your clients is food for our souls.

Potentially for the very first time, you are about to learn of the divine Sanskrit meaning of the word 'Ananda' - and in doing so your life may never be the same again. My guest on The Priestess Podcast today, Priya Lakhi, shares with us the meaning of this beautiful concept and what it has to do with our soul purpose, possibilities in life, embodiment of the present moment and awakening our own bliss. Priya does so in a way that does not bypass the messiness and sometimes challenges we all face in life, but in a way that is inspiring and hopeful. Listen ahead for the divine 'field of possibility' that can be your life and spiritual journey - your 'Awakening Ananda!'

I don't think it is an exaggeration to say that trauma and all its nuanced meanings for us as human beings is having a very spotlighted moment right now. And given we are all traversing a global pandemic that really shouldn't come as a surprise to any of us. Do you actually know however what trauma is? And isn't? And when someone says they are trauma informed - or you say you are trauma informed - what that actually means? And also ethically does not mean as well? My guest on The Priestess Podcast today, Katie Kurtz, is a rising thought leader on trauma informed practices and she is here with us to dive deeper into this vital topic. If you professionally hold space for people in any capacity - this episode is a must listen. And even if you do not do that - please know that you are still a space holder in your life for your family, friends, peers and more in so many ways. And being trauma informed as a human being, and not just a professional, is therefore vital for the humanity and brave connection for us all.

If you love animals, and in particular are walking through life with a pet or animal companion, then you are going to love this episode of The Priestess Podcast.

As a lover of animals all my life and the caretaker of two adopted, now older cats, and a fun and bubbly young dog, I honestly attribute them all to being a part of my business and life team in every possible way. They provide me with inspiration, support, fun, touch, connection and so much more. In fact, I would go so far as to say they make me a better human being and for that I am eternally indebted to them.

How connected are you to your body? Like, really? I know for me personally it is a personal relationship I have been working on for my entire life - and I know within myself will be one I continue with forever. My beautiful guest on The Priestess Podcast today - Christina Carlson - is an Embodiment Coach and they support people to become more deeply connected to and in right relation with their body, for the specific purpose of opening themselves up to their true divine nature and whole self. Being deeply embodied and connected is not something that Christina has experienced their entire life. They in fact grew up in circumstances where their body was something they were taught was not safe, or pleasurable, or to be trusted. Their journey to reclaiming their physical and divine self is inspirational and a guiding light to anyone who is searching for deeper connection to their physical realm.

Mental health and spirituality. What is the connection? Well…some may say that's a silly question because for those of us attuned to our spiritual nature, we know that all of life is in some way connected to every part of that. And yes, that includes the parts of our lived experience that can be and are challenging, dark, sad, frustrating and require extensive help and healing.

Shannon shares openly in this episode her own journey with her mental health and how it coincided with her spiritual awakening. It is a raw, honest and illuminating conversation that opens up these two worlds and how they can be so deeply connected.
