Welcome to The Remembering Project, hosted by Martina, where we embark on a journey to rediscover parts of ourselves. In today's episode, part of our July series on Radiance and Inner Fire, we delve into the potent and transformative power of anger. We explore how rather than being destructive, anger can act as a sacred fire, capable of sparking change and defending what is holy.

Through the lens of the Egyptian goddess Sekhmet, guardian of fierce love and justice, we learn how to channel our rage into a force of healing and protection. Martina shares insights on the different faces of caregiver anger, addressing the unspoken truths and bitterness that arise while caring for loved ones, especially when faced with broken systems and personal sacrifices.

Listeners are invited to ground themselves, release daily tensions, and consider how they might honor their own inner fire. Practical tools such as lion's breath breathing, rage dancing, and journaling are suggested as ways to express and navigate emotions. This episode empowers you to acknowledge your anger as a vital and sacred part of your humanity, inviting both grief and love to coexist and breathe.

Welcome back to The Remembering Project with your host, Martina. In this episode, we explore the concept of the 'Sun Child' - that unburdened part of you that lives for joy, play, and spontaneous laughter. Martina delves into the significance of reigniting this spirit within us, encouraging listeners to reflect on their inner child and share moments of pure happiness. Through personal anecdotes and thoughtful insights, she challenges the societal norms that label joy as frivolous and inspires us to reclaim it as sacred and healing. Join Martina on a journey to release the seriousness of adulthood and embrace the wild wonder within.

In this heartfelt episode of The re:Membering Project, we explore what it means to heal, rebuild, and rediscover ourselves after caregiving and loss — and why true healing is rarely a straight line.

Host Martina shares personal reflections from her own journey through grief after her mother's passing and the quiet, often-overlooked progress that emerges in the sacred pauses. With the light of the summer solstice as our guide, we reflect on how to celebrate even the smallest signs of life returning — a smile, a breath, a moment of peace.

In this episode of re:Membering, we explore what it means to find connection and belonging when you're starting over—whether after caregiving, loss, or transformation. How do we rebuild a sense of self, reconnect with others, and rediscover joy in identity? We talk about connecting to your truest self, the healing power of relationships, and the underrated magic of play and experimentation. Plus, we’ll revisit a timeless myth that shows how even goddesses can lose themselves—and how they find their way back.

In this deeply personal premiere of The re:Membering Podcast, host Martina Rutledge invites you into her story of profound loss, soul transformation, and the sacred art of starting over. After a decade of caregiving for her mother with dementia, Martina found herself standing at the edge of an unfamiliar life—grieving, untethered, and unsure who she was without the role that once defined her.

With wisdom drawn from feminine archetypes, goddess stories, and nature’s rhythms, this episode explores how grief is not an ending but a powerful threshold—a descent that can lead to rebirth. Through vulnerability, storytelling, and spiritual insight, Martina shares how re:membering (gathering the scattered parts of self) becomes a holy act of healing.

If you are navigating loss, life transitions, or a quiet yearning for more, this episode offers a lantern in the dark. It’s an invitation to honor the ruins, welcome the mystery, and trust that your new beginning—however uncertain—is sacred ground.
