The Sacred Purpose Podcast

One of the pressing themes Gurds highlights is the rising empowerment of women. "Women are realizing that we must let go of patriarchal patterns and cultural norms that no longer serve us," she explains. This shift is not just a trend; it's a profound transformation in how women are showing up in the world today and reclaiming matriarchal wisdom and leadership.

Gurds Hundal is a Liberation Alchemist + Matriarchal Expert, who is a dynamic voice for the modern generation of high achieving, matriarchal women. She hosts the Inner Light Project podcast and was named as one of the Best Inner Peace Podcasts for 2020. She is known for her blend of spirituality, laughter and honesty, which is exactly what's needed in this generation of women reclaiming their power. She is the founder of Rise Up Sister, a 5-hour VIP Day to heal patterns of patriarchy, misogyny and abuse.

In this episode of the Sacred Purpose Podcast, Lisa Malia and Beth Clayton explore themes of vulnerability, grief, and the journey of self-discovery. They discuss the impact of the 'good girl' archetype on personal growth and leadership, emphasizing the importance of embracing both light and shadow in our lives.

The conversation delves into the transformative experiences that arise from navigating grief and the role of community in healing. Beth shares her insights on intimacy and relationships, highlighting the significance of being authentic and transparent in our connections with others.

In this conversation, Beth Clayton and Lisa Malia explore the profound journey of self-discovery, healing, and the transformation of inner demons into guardians. They discuss the importance of facing our fears, the emotional depth of personal growth, and the complexities of navigating relationships as we evolve. The dialogue emphasizes the significance of understanding our own patterns and the role of the 'wild daughter' archetype in embracing our authentic selves.

Takeaways:

• Grief can be a profound teacher and companion.
• The 'good girl' archetype often protects us from facing grief.
• Leadership involves showing vulnerability and humility.
• Self-discovery is a continuous journey, often through dark times.
• Embracing both our light and shadow leads to wholeness.
• Community plays a crucial role in healing and transformation.
• Intimacy requires authenticity and transparency.
• We all have parts of ourselves that need to be acknowledged and integrated.
• The journey of healing can reveal unexpected allies and lessons.
• Transformation often comes from surrendering to the process. Empathy arises from personal experience and humility.
• Facing our demons can lead to profound self-discovery.
• Demons can transform into guardians when we embrace them.
• The journey of healing is not just about lessons but about experiencing aliveness.
• Navigating relationships requires understanding our own changes.
• We put down patterns, not people, in our growth journey.
• Sovereignty is about becoming the one we were looking for.
• Intimacy requires discernment and understanding of our own needs.
• Grief is a necessary part of the healing process.
• The wild daughter archetype represents our authentic self in the journey.

Beth Clayton is the founder of Born Wild™, an initiatory journey guiding highly sensitive, visionary women from unmasking their Good Girl conditioning into embodied Untamed sovereignty — so they can build a life and legacy that finally reflect the truth of who they are and the depth of their hunger.

A TEDx Broadway speaker, somatic mentor, and ceremonialist with over 15 years of experience — and an MFA in Acting from one of the nation's top conservatories — Beth blends nervous system work, mythic storytelling, archetypal embodiment, and ritual to create immersive transformational thresholds rather than traditional coaching programs.

Her work calls women back to the wisdom of their bodies, the medicine of their lived experience, and the leadership that emerges when they root into who they have always been — before the masks.

Lindsay Keach Bronstein (MS, RDN, LDN, HC) is an integrative dietitian and health coach who has spent nearly two decades helping people transform their relationship with their bodies from projects to fix into caring, collaborative partnerships. After her own diagnosis with Crohn's disease in her early twenties, Lindsay learned firsthand that healing isn't just about treating symptoms. It requires a completely different relationship with your body: one built on care and curiosity rather than control. That journey became the foundation of the Body Partnership Method.

Lindsay's work lives at the intersection of science and soul. She brings deep clinical expertise, shaped by years of clinical work and teaching at one of the country's leading integrative medicine centers, alongside a profound respect for the body wisdom and intuition that no textbook can fully capture. She helps people weave both together: using evidence and their own body's signals to discover what is actually true for them, in this body, in this season of life.

She works with people navigating digestive challenges, migraines, hormonal shifts, and complex chronic conditions, always through the lens of curiosity, collaboration, and compassion rather than control. Lindsay has a virtual practice based in Massachusetts and publishes The Body Partnership on Substack.

Explores the importance of strengthening our resolve to speak the truth and trust our leadership and why deepening rituals and community for feminine leadership, especially in challenging times is critical to our survival.

Our voices have been supressed and as more harm is brought to light by way of the Epstein Files and the destructive commands from the administration in the White House we have an opportunity and a responsibility to hold a line for justice and a new way forward.

I shares personal practices, collective prayers, and insights on how women can trust their intuition and embody their unique roles to foster healing and transformation.

"We already know how to do this; we are wise." "The feminine is rising in us all." "Women give so much, and why it's still not enough."
