Episode 13 - Wisdom Path Microdose: Integrating Shadows and The Power of Shame

Welcome back to The Wisdom Path Podcast. In this unscripted, microdose episode, Rosie Peacock explores the transformative power of confronting fear and integrating shadow work.

What are you most afraid of? What parts of yourself do you fear being seen? In this episode, Rosie unpacks how fear and shame keep us disempowered—and how true freedom comes from radical self-acceptance.

She shares personal experiences, psychological insights, and a powerful real-life example of someone turning their worst fear into a source of power. If you’re ready to alchemise your fears into deeper congruence and embodiment, this episode is for you.

In This Episode, We Explore:

• How fear points to areas where we are not yet fully in alignment

• Why shame is a vehicle for giving away your power

• The concept of congruence from Carl Rogers and how it shapes self-identity

• The myth of “slaying the dragon” and its connection to shadow work

• How playing at your edges leads to expansion and self-ownership

• Practical ways to integrate shame and reclaim your truth

Key Quotes:

• “Fear is often a signpost, pointing you to the parts of yourself you need to reclaim.”

• “Shame only has power over you when you believe it.”

• “Congruence isn’t about being just one thing, it’s about embodying all of you.”

• “Bringing your shadows into the light is the ultimate act of self-liberation.”

Episode 12 - “Persephone's Story: The Hunger for Wholeness”

We’re trying something new today - a full story episode.

Gather around the fire with me as we step into the gnostic retelling of Persephone’s story, not the version you were taught, but the one that was always waiting to be remembered.

This is a dark romantasy retelling of Persephone’s myth, full of longing, power, and a descent that was never a tragedy, but an initiation.

The deeper commentary on Persephone’s archetypes, her gnosis, and what she represents? That’s coming next episode.

But first - let yourself get hooked.

And fair warning, this one is raunchy, explicit, and absolutely not for kids. (Or maybe even for public listening, unless you want to make eye contact with strangers while hearing about a Queen being thoroughly worshipped. You do you.)

So, get comfortable. Dim the lights. And step into the underworld with me.

This is the Playing Her Part Series: Episode 2

If you loved this episode, go back and check out the previous Playing Her Part episode on Lilith—the first exile, the first rebellion, the woman who chose herself over obedience.

Just like Persephone, her story was never what they told us.

[Post production-note]

Hey, my loves,

Just a quick note, I noticed that the audio picked up more breaths than I intended, and I haven’t quite figured out how to edit them out yet. I appreciate your patience as I refine the sound quality, and I hope it doesn’t take away from your experience.

If it’s distracting, listening at a lower volume might help. But more than anything, I hope you can still enjoy the words, the energy, and the story being shared. If you would prefer, you can read the story over on my substack instead.

Thank you for being here. Your presence means everything.

With love,

Episode 11: A Damsel in Diagnosis – The Pathologisation of the Feminine & Reclaiming Our Wild Wisdom

This is The Wisdom Path Podcast – where we remember, reclaim, and rise.

Welcome to The Wisdom Path Podcast

In this episode, Rosie Peacock unpacks the pathologisation of the feminine—how women’s emotions, intuition, and bodies have been medicalised, controlled, and silenced for centuries.

Drawing from her personal experience of being diagnosed with BPD as a teenager, alongside the work of Dr Jessica Taylor (Sexy But Psycho) and the Drop the Disorder movement, Rosie explores how trauma is often mistaken for mental illness—and how reclaiming our wild wisdom is an act of defiance.

The episode ends with A Damsel in Diagnosis, a haunting poem that speaks to the women who have been silenced, medicalised, and erased, yet refuse to disappear.

In This Episode, We Explore:

• How women’s emotions have been systematically pathologised throughout history

• The connection between psychiatric diagnoses and the suppression of the feminine

• The legacy of hysteria, from asylums to modern-day psychiatric labels

• The role of patriarchy and psychiatry in silencing and controlling women

• Why trauma responses are often misdiagnosed as personality disorders

• Reclaiming the body, the womb, and feminine wisdom as medicine

• How embodiment, creative expression, and myth can help us heal

Key Quotes:

• “They burned us as witches, they locked us in asylums, they drugged us into silence. And still, we rise.”

• “We weren't broken, the system was.”

• “Our grief is not a disorder. Our rage is not hysteria. Our intuition is not paranoia.”

• “The system was never meant to heal us. So we must heal ourselves.”

Resources Mentioned:

• Sexy But Psycho by Dr Jessica Taylor – A book exposing the psychiatric mistreatment of women

• Drop the Disorder – A movement challenging the medicalisation of trauma

• Freya's Instagram @wayofthewildwoman – The Instagram post that inspired this episode

Takeaway for Listeners:

The suppression of the feminine is not a relic of the past—it is ongoing, embedded in the systems that pathologise, silence, and erase women’s wisdom. But the feminine cannot be erased. It lingers in our bodies, in our bones, in our stories.

• Where have you been made to feel that your emotions were too much?

• Where has your pain been dismissed as something clinical instead of something valid?

• How can you begin to reclaim what was taken from you?

This is not just about resisting the system. It is about remembering ourselves.

Episode 10: Playing Her Part - Reclaiming Lilith: Feminine Power, Sovereignty & the Myth of the First Woman

This is Playing Her Part - where mythology makes art.

Welcome to Playing Her Part, a special series on The Wisdom Path Podcast exploring mythic women through storytelling, artistic embodiment, and creative reclamation. In this episode, Rosie Peacock delves into the story of Lilith - the first woman who refused to bow.

Demonised, exiled, and rewritten into something monstrous, Lilith has long been a warning: Obey, or be cast out. But what if we stop seeing her as a threat and instead recognise her as a mirror?

Through myth, photography, branding, and creative direction, Rosie explores how Lilith’s story is not just history - it is a force that still moves through us today. This episode invites you to reclaim autonomy, desire, and self-sovereignty in your art, your work, and your life.

In This Episode, We Explore:

• Lilith’s myth retold—not as a demon, but as the first sovereign woman

• Why she was exiled—and how her story was distorted into fear and control

• The power of refusal—why saying no is still radical

• Lilith in creative work—how to embody her energy through photography, branding, and storytelling

• Symbolism and artistic direction—colours, props, and visual cues to invoke Lilith

• A call to reclamation—where in your life have you been told to make yourself smaller?

Key Quotes:

• “Lilith was not dangerous—her freedom was. And when women refuse to be owned, they become something to be feared.”

• “She does not beg. She does not bow. She does not belong to anyone but herself.”

• “Obedience does not guarantee safety. It never has.”

• “What if exile is not a punishment, but a beginning?”

Resources Mentioned:

• Medea by Euripides – A greek tragedy exploring feminine rage, exile, and defiance

Takeaway for Listeners:

Lilith’s story is one of defiance, exile, and self-sovereignty. But it is also a story of rebirth, reclamation, and power.

• Where in your life have you been told to shrink?

• Where have you feared taking up too much space?

• Where have you silenced yourself to stay inside the Garden?

Episode 9 - Wisdom Path Microdose: Archetypes, Alter Egos & Embodiment in Personal Brand Photography

Welcome back to The Wisdom Path Podcast! In this microdose episode, Rosie Peacock explores how embodiment, archetypes, and alter egos can transform personal brand photography into something far deeper than just ‘pretty pictures.’

Photography, in Rosie’s approach, is a ceremonial experience—a space where you don’t just look the part, you become it. By tapping into the energy of archetypes, myth, movement, and emotion, your personal brand images shift from polished poses to something powerful, magnetic, and deeply felt.

Whether you want to embody the sacred warrior, the mystic, the rebel, or the muse, this episode dives into how personal brand photography can become a portal for transformation and self-expression.

In This Episode, We Explore:

• How embodiment transforms brand photography into an alchemical experience

• The power of archetypes and alter egos in unlocking new aspects of yourself

• Why traditional branding photography often lacks depth and soul

• The role of sacred rage, sensuality, and emotional storytelling in branding visuals

• How to use movement, styling, and setting to create evocative brand imagery

• Why personal branding is a living, evolving expression of who you are

• How to align creative photography with business strategy and intentionality

Key Quotes:

• “A photoshoot isn’t just about looking good—it’s about becoming something more.”

• “Archetypes and alter egos help us embody the parts of ourselves that we’re ready to step into.”

• “Branding photography isn’t just visuals—it’s a frequency that calls in the right people.”

• “You are not one fixed version of yourself. You are kaleidoscopic.”

• Tarot, astrology & myth as tools for self-discovery

Takeaway for Listeners:

Your personal brand isn’t just about how you look—it’s about how you embody your essence. When you step in front of the camera, you have the opportunity to become something more: a warrior, a muse, a leader, a force of nature. This is about making people feel something through your presence and storytelling.

Episode 8: Wisdom Path Microdose - Creating from the Soul, Not for the Algorithm. The joy of building a body of work that transforms you in the process of creating it.

This morning, in the quiet before Theo wakes up, I’m tuning in without a script—just a deep curiosity about what wants to come through. Today, I’m reflecting on coaching, creativity, and the power of asking the right questions.

In this episode, we explore:

✨ The heart of true coaching—holding space, facilitating transformation, and guiding through questions rather than answers.

✨ Why content creation feels like a chore when we frame it as ‘promotion’ rather than a creative practice.

✨ Shifting from ‘creating content’ to making art, embracing long-form expression through blogs, podcasts, and deep reflections.

✨ The joy of building a body of work that transforms you in the process of creating it.

✨ How leaning into your true passions—not just what’s ‘strategic’—naturally draws aligned opportunities.

I share my journey from feeling resistance around content creation to finding effortless consistency by treating my creative output as a space for self-inquiry, artistry, and transformation—not just a marketing tool.

So, my invitation to you: What do you need to believe in order to create your body of work? Who do you get to become in the process?

Episode 7: Beyond the Guru Model – The Future of Leadership in the Age of Decentralised Wisdom

Working Towards a New Paradigm of Creative, Embodied, Sacred Leadership

Welcome back to The Wisdom Path Podcast! In today’s episode, Rosie Peacock explores the shift away from the guru model in coaching, wisdom-keeping, and leadership.

For years, the dominant paradigm positioned leaders as all-knowing experts, creating dependency rather than empowerment. But a new way is emerging—one rooted in sovereignty, collective wisdom, and embodied leadership.

In this episode, Rosie delves into how the future of wisdom work lies not in hierarchy but in co-creation, space-holding, and shared leadership. She explores how stepping away from the guru model frees both the leader and the seeker and how true wisdom is about guiding others back to their own knowing.

This episode is an invitation to release the need to be an authority and instead embrace the role of facilitator, guide, and wisdom keeper in a way that honours both your truth and the sovereignty of those you serve.

In This Episode, We Explore:

• The fading of the guru model in wisdom-keeping, coaching, and leadership.

• The illusion of hierarchy and why no single person holds all the answers.

• How the shift towards sovereign leadership and decentralised wisdom is changing the coaching and healing industries.

• The power of embodiment, integrity, and deep listening in guiding others.

• Why guiding through questions rather than answers fosters true transformation.

• The importance of self-inquiry as a leader: Are you holding power or facilitating empowerment?

Key Quotes:

• “The future of wisdom work isn’t about hierarchy—it’s about empowerment, co-creation, and embodied leadership.”

• “A true guide doesn’t give answers; they hold space for others to find their own.”

• “We are all wisdom keepers—our role is simply to help each other awaken to that truth.”

Takeaway for Listeners:

Today’s episode is an invitation to release the guru model and step into a new way of wisdom-keeping - one that is decentralised, embodied, and deeply aligned with sovereignty and self-trust.

By moving from power-based leadership to guidance and space-holding, we empower others to discover their own wisdom.
