To me, nothing says Christmas like the image of Mary riding on the back of a donkey to Bethlem to give birth to baby Jesus.
Our guest on this week's podcast episode has a beautiful connection to a very special donkey - Flash, a stray donkey that appeared to her and her husband one cold night during a time of uncertainty and despair in their lives.
This chance encounter was the start of a beautiful spiritual journey for Rachel, who decided to take a leap of faith and follow the path that had been laid out before her. Through the mirror that was her relationship with Flash, Rachel started to develop her relationship with herself through a new perspective. This lead to a career as an author of several books, a thriving career as an artist and a calling to coach other creative people to lead a life of purpose and joy.
Rachel Anne Ridge is an author, artist, speaker, and creative coach in Texas. Aided by a stray donkey who arrived on her doorstep and never left, Rachel boot-strapped her art and design business through the Great Recession in the US, all while raising a family and honing her story-telling gift. As an author and speaker, she delights audiences with humour and insight; as a creative coach she helps clients discover their passions, find their creative niches, and launch whole-hearted businesses. Mom to three adult children, and two rescue donkeys. Nana to five. Find her online at rachelanneridge.com

In this episode, I talk about my own experience of "second puberty" or perimenopause and the emotional and mental impact that this has had on me in my life.
In my personal experience with perimenopause, this triggered a powerful spiritual awakening in me which has really reshaped my life and who I am as a woman and a mother.
Although we can go through a spiritual awakening at any stage of our life and this is often triggered by trauma, I think that this stage in our lives is an invitation for us as women to come home to ourselves.
I also chat about what archetypes are activated in us during a spiritual awakening and how they support us in the process.

I regularly write letters to myself.
We spend so many years trash-talking ourselves and so this is one way that I can intentionally work on building my trust in the most important relationship I have in my life. The relationship that I have with myself!
I know that this may sound weird or selfish, but really...
In the end, all we have is ourselves so we may as well be friends with her!
Earlier this week when I was out walking I thought, "If I would interview myself, what would I ask me?" and so the idea for this episode was born.
In this episode, I talk about:

Everyone was born with a personal legend - their zone of genius, the thing that they were born to do. And yet, many of us have forgotten what our personal legend is or have so many stories and so much shame wrapped around and interwoven with the pursuit of our personal legend.
In this episode, I explore why you may feel shame about pursuing your personal legend and how this shame may show up for you.

I guide you through a short guided journey to reconnect you with this beautiful, joyful creative part of yourself.
