What does it mean to live a life deeply rooted in wisdom rather than constantly striving for what’s next? In this episode of the Woman Arising podcast, hosts Cathy Hartenstein and Zeffi Devi welcome international author, teacher, and self-described “irreverent wise woman” Ingrid Kincaid for a rich conversation about elder wisdom, earth-based spirituality, women’s empowerment, and authentic personal growth.

Drawing from her own remarkable journey—from a successful real estate career to decades of teaching rune wisdom and Earth-centered traditions—Ingrid shares how reconnecting with nature, honoring the body, and embracing life’s natural cycles can lead to profound transformation. Together, they explore the importance of asking courageous questions, resisting spiritual bypassing, moving beyond limiting masculine and feminine stereotypes, and reclaiming the wisdom that comes with age and lived experience.

If you’ve been searching for greater purpose, a deeper connection to yourself, or a more grounded spiritual path, this conversation offers a refreshing perspective on what it truly means to rise. Discover why lasting transformation begins not by reaching higher, but by growing deeper roots into who you are, the Earth beneath your feet, and the community that surrounds you.
