Fitting in is exhausting.  It also causes you to disconnect from your gifts, your essence and your very sense of self.  This disconnection creates plenty of space for the inner critic and imposter syndrome to come in and run wild, confirming the core belief that you’re ‘not good enough’.

In this episode we're going to explore how by embracing the unconventional nature of who you truly are, you can access the full colour spectrum of your essence and live a more joyous and fulfilling life.

This week's episode invites you to embrace every moment, be it a high or a low, and accept the natural rhythm of life. It's inspired by the intensity of the Italian summer and its inevitable transition into the serene stillness of winter. 

Welcome to the Soul Alchemist podcast with Catherine Maguire.

I also share how the success of last’s weeks podcast created an internal pressure that blocked my creativity and flow, and how remembering that 'it's not always summer' helped me find my groove again.

This week we have a very honest and vulnerable question from listener Nina that I think many people will resonate with.  As she stands between her old identity and her new self, Nina is grappling with loneliness and the fear of making wrong choices in the future. 

Welcome to the Soul Alchemist podcast with Catherine Maguire.

We’ll use the metaphor of the caterpillar's 4 step metamorphosis into a butterfly to explore the intricacies of personal transformation and discover what it can teach us.

You’ll discover that change is not the same as transformation, but a deeper, more profound journey and I’ll share with you how to embrace and navigate the 'in-between' stage in your life.

I’ll also explain the importance of self-discovery, authenticity, and envisioning the life you truly desire.

The episode also emphasises the value of vulnerability, humility, and patience when stepping into this new phase of life and the importance of allowing yourself to make mistakes.

If you are feeling a bit lost, lonely or overwhelmed on your journey of transformation this episode will give you the inspiration you need to take the next step.

If you’re looking for a new place to call home, switching careers, want to change the dynamics of a relationship or are curious about our move to Italy, this episode is for you.

Welcome to the Soul Alchemist Podcast with Catherine Maguire.  This week we are exploring the mechanics of change; why you need to be clear about your desires and why more importantly it’s not your desires but the underlying feeling that has authority when it comes to change.  

Is your desire for change being prompted by fear or expansion?  It makes a huge difference, I’ll explain why.

September 2025 marks 10 years since we moved from Ireland to Italy and I've been reflecting on the inspiration and the process that inspired this life-changing decision.  Discover how a Mediterranean climate, quality food, strong community, and deep connection to the land have brought joy and fulfilment into my life.

Tune in to learn more about navigating change with courage, clarity, and purpose, turning life's uncertainties into opportunities for transformation, expansion and growth.

What is guilt?  What is the core belief that drives it? And why is it so hard to release it?

Welcome to the latest episode of the Soul Alchemist podcast with Catherine Maguire.

In this episode we take a deep dive into guilt to understand the 'guilt trap', why we stay stuck in it and how most importantly we can release it.

When we feel guilty part of us stays stuck in past which stops us from having the success, the love, the abundance we desire and from living an empowered life.

I share a personal story to illustrate how guilt can affect our lives and then guide you through a step-by-step process to release its hold.

Join me on this transformative journey to alchemise guilt and embrace your true potential and your inner gold.

Your Magical Child is the part of you filled with innocence, creativity, curiosity and has a wonderful ability to problem solve.  Our connection to our Magical Child shapes our reality and influences our world.  In this episode we will explore the energy of the Magical Child and what happens when we are disconnected from it.

I tell a personal story of magic and support, as a reminder that the Universe is always trying to help us and reconnect us to the enchantment of life.

Welcome to the Soul Alchemist podcast with Catherine Maguire.

Join me to discover what happens when you believe in magic, and more importantly what happens when you believe in yourself.

In this episode I share a personal story about being ‘tempered by the fire’ during my shamanic training when I travelled all the way to Canyon de Chelly in Arizona looking to connect with an ancient lineage.  Instead of having a spiritual awakening I clashed with my Navajo guide, had a nasty allergic reaction to an insect bite, followed by a horrendous case of thrush.

Welcome to the Soul Alchemist podcast with Catherine Maguire. 

'Go home, everything you need is at home'.  This was the message I received after I'd travelled thousands of miles for a 'Spiritual Experience'.

The experience while emotionally and physically painful was humbling and ultimately enlightening. It prompted me to return home to Ireland to find what I’d been looking for in the land of my birth and to reconnect to the gold within myself.

Join me to explore where you may need to 'go home', so you can reconnect with yourself and your own inner gold.

Let me know what you discover, all my love.

I've a friend who's a goldsmith who shared with me the concept of 'Heat Tempers Gold’.  This alchemical process allows us to reframe any challenges we are facing as opportunities for personal purification, transformation and growth.

I'll explain how a challenge can be a Rite of Passage if we understand the 6 steps of personal and spiritual transformation.

Welcome to the Soul Alchemist podcast with Catherine Maguire.

If you or a loved one are currently being challenged by life I hope this episode will help you feel empowered and help you to understand that you are not being ‘picked on’ but instead are being tempered so you can connect with your Inner Gold.

Where are you on the 6 step journey?

Let me know.

Welcome to the inaugural episode of the Soul Alchemist podcast with Catherine Maguire. Join me to discover the perfectionism I had to overcome to create this podcast and why perfectionism is actually a safety / sabotage mechanism to stop us from getting things done.  If you are a perfectionist, or know one, this episode is for you!

I also speak about Soul Alchemy, a transformational process for reconnecting with the Inner Gold you were born with but may have become disconnected from.  Soul Alchemy allows us to release the life experiences that have caused us to dim our light and rediscover our true selves.

What in this episode inspired you?
