The Priestess Podcast

My guest on The Priestess Podcast today - Amy Lea - is a beloved human design, astrology and energetics guide. You only have to see her Instagram account to know why this would be as you soak in her generosity, wisdom and service to her community on there. Amy is with us today to talk about business energetics as I know that many of you who listen to The Priestess Podcast own your own business or potentially desire to. Amy shares with such heart and soul about how our businesses have their own energetic blueprint and nature and how we can attune to that and our own inner world to create greater flow, connection and results in our service to the world.

Mental health and spirituality. What is the connection? Well…some may say that’s a silly question because for those of us attuned to our spiritual nature, we know that all of life is in some way connected to every part of that. And yes, that includes the parts of our lived experience that can be and are challenging, dark, sad, frustrating and require extensive help and healing. My guest on The Priestess Podcast today - Shannon Kaiser - is a world renowned best selling author and speaker and she has also lived extensively with depression and anxiety. Shannon shares openly in this episode her own journey with her mental health and how it coincided with her spiritual awakening. It is a raw, honest and illuminating conversation that opens up these two worlds and how they can be so deeply connected.

All of us are cycling through life in some way at every moment. We are born, we live, we die. And in between those moments we are reborn and also live and die in metaphorical ways over and over again. The times in our lives where we cross thresholds of bodily experience or living can be profound for our sense of self and connection to earth and others. Menstruation, birth, creative undertakings, illness, loss, gain, puberty, menopause and so much more. All are in their own separate, but interconnected ways rites of passage and can be honoured with beautiful and sacred ceremonies. My guest on The Priestess Podcast today - Andrea Arare - is a soulful, experienced and divine guide in the realm of rites of passage and her wisdom and passion for this area lies ahead as inspiration for you today.

Sometimes when we talk about the Goddess and her world I wonder if maybe she feels like a very far off entity and being and even feeling that is not very grounded or practical in our day to day lives. Given she has such ancient roots I can understand where this comes from but I truly believe the most powerful relationship we can develop with the Goddess - or a Goddess - is one where it shows us our full humanity and divinity and can help our lives be better in small but significant ways. My guest on The Priestess Podcast today - Nikki Tegg - has a beautiful way of relating to the Goddess and inspiring her connection with others too. Her first book ‘Goddess Rising’ is a true journey of feminine connection and beauty - and one that will awaken your inner creatrix and spiritual connection to self. 

I’m not kidding you when I say that my guest on The Priestess Podcast today - Jennifer Cameron - is a pioneer of the goddess spirituality movement in Australia. An historian and priestess of the Goddess for decades, Jennifer is wise, moving and heart devoted to Mother Earth which you will hear in her beautiful words ahead. Jennifer's latest book, Ancient Ways for Current Days, is a sacred balm to the patriarchal, oppressive and climate emergency laden issues we face as a collective right now. It brings to light the sacred power of matrifocal societies and how the ways of the old can be brought into these times for lasting impact and change. Get ready to be lit up and inspired into action as the sacred leader you already are with Jennifer by your side.

Amber Bibby is an absolute delight. And I’m so excited to be bringing her to you as my guest on The Priestess Podcast today to discuss aura’s and the energetic field. When I approached Amber to be a guest on the show she very kindly said yes - and also then said if we’re going to DO this - we’re going to DO it - and as such, I want to read YOUR aura Julie. That was an offer I could not refuse, especially given I had never had my aura read before. My reading with Amber was divine, reassuring, illuminating and so much more. If you’ve always wondered what takes place inside an aura reading and what your aura actually is, Amber is here to share this with you today. I know you are going to love her as much as I do. 

Is there a connection between science, stories and even spirituality? Even if you may never have thought of those things as somehow ‘belonging’ together - they do and there is. My guest on The Priestess Podcast today - Mbarbrum woman Caroline Kell - is here to share with us the beautiful intersection of Aboriginal science and stories with a weaving of culture, community and collective togetherness as well. All of which our world is crying out for right now. Caroline’s wisdom, insight and joyful presence will inspire you - as it did and still does - me. 

What does it mean to truly trust ourselves? What does in fact TRUST even mean? Our first guest for 2022 on The Priestess Podcast - Shirin Eskandani - is here to intuitively guide and traverse trust terrain with us and what a perfect time to do so as we begin a new year and are tuning into our hopes and dreams for the months ahead. Shirin’s take on self-trust is divinely grounding, sacred, and also practical. Her personal journey from being an award winning opera singer to international coach is inspirational in it’s courage and wisdom and how, when we tune into our own inner guidance and trust the messages we are receiving, anything can be possible for us.

Host of The Priestess Podcast Julie Parker takes you on a journey of the top five most popular episodes for 2021. Who will be number one?!

This episode of The Priestess Podcast might be about to bust a myth or belief you have wide open. And so get ready. If you think your soul work is all about what you do for a living or to earn money - my guest today Katherine Mackenzie Smith is here to lovingly challenge that notion and - put honestly - get you to think much bigger, deeper and wider about yourself and your reason for being here in this life than that. Katherine has a truly divine way of expressing the depths of what it means to be human - in all our mess, loveliness, shadow and imperfect perfection. This is a conversation that may just change your life and have you viewing what you ‘do’ and who you truly are, in a whole new light.

First time author Becca Piastrelli is back with us on The Priestess Podcast today to talk about her divine book ‘Root & Ritual.’ This beautiful talisman of wisdom is a rich exploration of what it means to ‘belong’ as a modern human being, and guides us with practical and soulful ways to connect with land, lineage, community and self. In this episode Becca and I dive deeply into the power of understanding our inherent relationship with nature, the miracle that is our DNA and ancestry, the lush relationship between food and our spiritual connections and the archetype of the wild woman. Root & Ritual is one of my most favourite reads of the year and a divine gift for yourself or a soul you love who is in search of greater meaning and connection in their life. 

The term Christ Consciousness is a relatively new one to me. And I knew the first time that I heard it, it was something I wanted to deepen into further and learn more about. Then when I found Alia Walston I knew I had found the perfect vessel to deepen with and bring to you in this episode of The Priestess Podcast. While I don’t know what your beliefs or knowledge about Christ Consciousness are - you may like me - be about to have it’s true meaning opened up to you and even challenged. What is the role of Yeshua with Christ Consciousness? Is it only about or from the Christian faith? Or is it more than that and something we all have the capacity to connect with further? Alia is about to lead you on a journey that answers all these questions - and then likely raise more for you - as a true catalyst and initiator of spirit always does.

In continuing in this current season of The Priestess Podcast to bring you more divine guests living in the crone stage of their life, I am so thrilled to be joined in this episode by Diana DuBrow. Diana is a Scent Priestess and filled with heart and wisdom. She has been in service to the world as a priestess for more than forty years, with a particular passion for the art of essential oils, sensory acuity and anointing. Get ready to be inspired by this truly incredible woman and her passion for sisterhood, the collective, and our ongoing spiritual awakening as leaders.

So, you may already know this - or you may not. Feng Shui is about so much more than just furniture placement in your home and office. The divine Grace Niu is sharing with us today on The Priestess Podcast about this amazingly beautiful and soul rich spiritual practice that has so many benefits for our life. Grace brings eastern and western wisdom and practice to all she does in an incredible way, and you will undoubtedly learn some things from today’s episode not just about Feng Shui, but indeed your own life and soul longings, that you might never have previously recognised. This is the beauty of listening to practising intuitive mentors and guides that are an embodiment of years of ancestral and cultural wisdom. It’s learning that you simply can’t get in the same way from anyone else.

In the fast paced modern world we live in it seems sometimes as though we are always searching for something new, fresh and never before seen. Our culture is one that at times feels filled with disposables and an insatiable desire for the latest ‘thing’. And while new things can bring us so much, we surely must recognise that the old, the old ways, the ancient, the wise and wisdom filled, have deep merit too. I’ve often thought that a deep indicator of how well functioning a society is, is seen in how it treats its elderly and older citizens. The better that is, to me, the more likely enlightened that society would be. My guest on The Priestess Podcast today talking all things crone wisdom in her precious 70’s, is the extraordinary Anique Radiant Heart. Anique has been a High Priestess for decades and has inspired and worked with thousands of women around the world as they’ve been uncovering their version of this sacred leadership path. Her wisdom and humor and passion is timeless.

Holding space. I know it’s something that many of you who listen to The Priestess Podcast do whether it be as a parent, sacred space holder, coach, healer or guide. How well do you do it however? How deeply, how reverently, how present, how focused? Big questions I know but there is no one better I could think of to converse with about such things than my guest today, Heather Plett, author of ‘The Art of Holding Space’ and the Founder of the Centre for Holding Space. Heather leads us in this interview about how vital it is we learn to hold space for ourselves, what liminal space is and why it’s so important to know as a space holder, why we should be aiming to move from safe to brave spaces and the most potent step you can take right now to become a better space holder. Get ready to leave this conversation with your heart lit and ready to become better at your craft and the art of conversation with those you love.

It’s well beyond time that we started to acknowledge in the self development and spiritual worlds that so much of what we may be healing and trying to work through is due to the collective oppressions we have all been living with for generations. We of course must all take responsibility for our own learning, unlearning and rising above, but when we can see that systems of oppression like the patriarchy have been designed and deliberately orchestrated to keep women and non-binary folks quiet, subjugated, lost, confused and separated from each other, we begin a path of power. My guest today Andrea Owen is here to talk about patriarchal unlearning and unravelling so we can step out, speak up and just like the title of her latest book ‘Make Some Noise.’

Shamanism. Shamans. Shamanic practices. So many myths and mistruths and misconceptions abound about them all. And so I am absolutely thrilled to be in conversation today with Deb Macintyre on The Priestess Podcast - a Shaman by birth and royal lineage. Deb’s grounded, practical and refreshing way of speaking to these topics is going to ignite your soul - it and she did mine. I left this conversation feeling empowered and even more ready to explore my own Celtic lineage and spiritual traditions. May you take inspiration from Deb’s words to potentially do the same.

Julie Parker on Episode 200 Celebration

How someone may come to concepts in our lives such as the Divine Feminine is of course as varied as we all are. I have always had a fascination with people who have had the world of the Goddess and Divine surrounding them since birth, because it was not something that came into my own field of consciousness (even though it WAS present), until I was well into adulthood. My guest on The Priestess Podcast today, Jonita D’souza has been surrounded by the Goddess since an early age, but in a culture that she came to realise that while very leaning towards female deity worship, did not so much show that respect ongoing towards women in day to day life. Her journey as an Indian woman in this realm and her opening to the Divine Feminine at a later stage in her life is fascinating and one that I know will inspire you.

If you are a regular listener of The Priestess Podcast then you will know that I am a big believer in the power of all things ancient and ancestral. Our past and the past of others has so much to teach us about ourselves in a modern context - everything from how we relate to each other, how things like the patriarchy impacts us, spiritual traditions and more. Part of that ‘more’ is our health and wellbeing and my guest today - Jema Lee - is passionate about the wisdom of the ancient world and things related to that such as ancestral health, nature based healing and tapping into the wisdom and medicine of our cyclical selves. She’s a passionate guide and here to share with us today the power of the ancient world when it comes to our health and wellbeing and the connection of those things to our own spiritual journeys through life.

My guest on The Priestess Podcast today is the beautiful and soulful top ranking podcast host, author and mindfulness expert Rachael Kable. Rachael discovered mindfulness at a time in her life when she was experiencing challenging thoughts and feelings that were taking her out of the present moment and either focusing on her past, or projecting her into the future and a space of being where things were even yet to happen. And if you’ve had thoughts like that then you will relate. I think we all can in so many ways. Rachael guides us today on what mindfulness is, it’s connection to self-compassion and our spirituality and how to gently begin to cultivate it. And slowing down as a part of this? Oh yes please.

Can you relate to any of the following things dear listener…? You want to be seen but you don’t. You want to draw people towards you and your work but you don’t want to be judged or criticised. You want to put yourself out there in a big and bold way but you don’t want to make a mistake. You want more followers on social media but you don’t want to have to share everything about your life. I think that many of us can relate to at least some of these things and I know I certainly have before. On the surface it can seem such a simple and even easy thing as a human being - just make yourself visible. Be seen. Get out there. But it not’s that easy right? Right. Many of us have fears and concerns about what it means to be more visible and more often than not those fears are ones of our own creation. My brilliant guest on The Priestess Podcast today is Life and Business Coach Laura Banks and she’s here to break this down for us in a soulful but also practical way that’s going to help you shine and be seen before you know it!

Host of The Priestess Podcast Julie Parker shares in this solo episode about the very real and even very helpful power of your fears. Those fears that hold us back, keep us small, have us hide and stop ourselves from being and shining in our full light. What are they really about? Could they be something more than a voice or feeling that stops us from doing and being what we truly want to do and be? Could their meaning be deeper than that and in fact a sign that we are on the threshold of something amazing? Imagine that...

Sometimes when we talk about things like developing confidence and sovereignty and being in charge of our own life, the narrative around that can make it sound somewhat easy. Make this decision! Change your mindset! Choose a different path! And while all of those things, and many more, may indeed help, it does not mean that the changes or transitions or releasing they require are actually easy, or feel great all the time. My guest on The Priestess Podcast today, Erika Cramer, is known as the Queen of Confidence and her spin on confidence is that it does NOT always feel great to develop it. Developing confidence and being the Queen of your own life can at times mean making tough decisions, shaking in your boots, needing to push through something and change old habits and stories you’ve comfortably held on to for a long time. The great news is however that on the other side and through such times is a renewed or even newly found sense of self that will place you at the centre of your own life and confidently knowing who you are and what you’re really here to do.

If you are anything like me, then you grew up in a household where you were told that being a ‘good girl’ was very important. And in fact, it was the most important thing you could be and along with it all things such as sweet, giving, forgiving and more. My guest on The Priestess Podcast today, Majo Molfino, is here to share with us about this good girl myth and how it can be damaging to our soul purpose, vitality, and how we show up in the world everyday. Majo also reassures us that the good girl way of being has its advantages, especially when we are children, but the key is to be discerning now and truly work out how it may be holding us back from our fullest potential and having vibrant relationships with those around us.

Boundaries. Hmmmm. We all need them right? We know they are a good thing. That in fact they can elevate our life, confidence, relationships and so much more. But knowing such things and actually implementing them as a conscious practice into our being and world, is a whole other thing all together. My guest on The Priestess Podcast today is psychotherapist Terri Cole, and she’s here to guide us into a new relationship with boundaries, one that is sovereign, self-determined and has our spiritual selves and health at the core. If you are someone who struggles to set and maintain positive boundaries for yourself in your life this one is a must. And may indeed even be life changing.

There comes a time for all of us in our lives where we may need to undergo a complete inner transformation or even clean out of some kind. In fact, we may need to undergo or do such a thing many times. My Priestess Podcast guest today, Elaine So, calls this an inner revolution, and she has made it part of her life’s work to support women undergoing this transition. Elaine speaks to us today about this revolutionary undertaking and how it involves de-conditioning, curiosity, awareness, tapping into our intuition and even developing our psychic abilities. And she beautifully describes as well how when even just one of us undergoes inner revolution, we create the conditions collectively for it to be possible for us all.

My guest on The Priestess Podcast today, Lee Noto, believes there is a High Priestess in all of us. Now that may feel or seem hard to believe for some of you which I fully appreciate, but when you listen in to Lee and her own priestess journey and her embodiment of this archetype in life, sexuality, health, creativity and life purpose, I have a feeling you may just see a little bit - or even a lot of yourself - in her words. Let’s dive into the deep and rich world of the High Priestess Archetype.

Megan Fraser (Priestess Moon) is a Western Australian artist and author. Her work is designed to impart a sense of enchantment, and she has five solo exhibitions to her name as well as numerous group exhibitions. Renowned for being colourful, decorative and highly symbolic, her work brings universal symbols into a modern context. Priestess Moon’s works have strong links to illuminated manuscripts, herbal codex and magickal grimoires. Containing special symbols that act as energy tools, the artwork is designed to evoke certain qualities such as peace, protection and prosperity. The addition of gold leaf to many of her paintings enhances the meaning, luminosity and beauty of the pieces.

Host of The Priestess Podcast Julie Parker shares in this solo episode the spiritual (and life) lessons that can reveal themselves to us when we feel uncomfortable. No one necessarily enjoys feeling uncomfortable, but within the experience there can be so many lessons for us about self-care, perfectionism, tolerance and grace. Where do we project? Where do we overreact? Where do we bypass? Where do we bury? And what are the genuine benefits not just for us as an individual, but indeed all of humanity that can be found within the lessons of discomfort? They are absolutely there if we are open to them.

Is your soul purpose in life all about what you do? Who you are? A combination of both? Or maybe even neither? Such are the questions of life, love and the Universe that we are exploring today on The Priestess Podcast with my guest Sahara Rose. Sahara’s take on your life legacy and what you are truly here to unveil about yourself in your life and spiritual journey is filled with wisdom. She also shares with us more about her own ancestral lineage as a daughter of refugees and how that still impacts her work today. It’s a refreshing and uplifting conversation on the true essence of your dharma and soul purpose.

Why are people so afraid of being anti-racist? How can that be the case when it is something that so many of us desire to do? This is the question we explore deeply on The Priestess Podcast today with my guest diversity, equity and inclusion coach Trudi Lebron. You are about to dive into fear, failure, perfectionism, white supremacy, oppressive systems, busting out of the good girl persona and learning to be accepting of discomfort and getting things wrong. It’s only when we do so that we can hope to address our own bias, embrace matters of social justice as a part of our spiritual path  and create the world we all long for. A world that is steeped in humanity, inclusion and equity for all.

Get ready to be inspired by Yogi and Global Empress Nadine McNeil, joining us all the way from Jamaica on The Priestess Podcast today. In this deep and soulful conversation Nadine shares with us what it means to her to walk through the world with the title of and embodiment of the empress archetype, her sacred spiritual practices, the courage and transition we have all moved through in these difficult global times over the past year (and continuing) and her commitment to the democratisation of yoga. We go here. We go there. We go everywhere. There are some chats and interviews that just through their own spirit and magick - cannot be contained or held in one space - and this is one of them. Leaning into the power of Nadine you will soon see why.

You are worthy. This I know. But do you know it? My amazing guest on The Priestess Podcast today is Thais Sky and she is devoted to supporting women around the world with something she calls ‘The Worthiness Wound.’ It is a wound that many of us can hold deep within and it impacts how we see ourselves, relate to others, love, work and transition through life. The good news is that any worthiness wound you may carry can be healed, and Thais is with us today to inspire us to release shame, what is holding us back, and how we can challenge any individually held notions or oppressive systems that have us captive to a worthiness wound. There is life beyond - well beyond - this wound for us all.

The impact that Stacey Demarco has had in the international realm of modern witchcraft cannot be underestimated. She is an international best selling author, oracle card creator, speaker and metaphysicist who after finding herself very successful but unfulfilled corporate career, embraced her Pagan nature and love of the natural world to bring forth her gifts as a witch. The thing I love most about Stacey is how truly grounded and practical she is, something that you will soon learn about her in this interview. She is nothing if not straight up, devoted to spiritual practice that is reality based and desiring of the world of modern witchcraft to serve the collective from the inside of our own souls and healing needs - out.

Many times when we think of stories, I often wonder if our mind wanders to children and our experiences of being a child hearing or reading stories, or maybe reading a story to a child now. We don’t often stop to consider how powerful stories are for us as adults and what role they may play in our own lives, spiritual development, journeying and connection with others. My guest on The Priestess Podcast today - Annie Gichuru - is a very special story teller. She is shifting the paradigm of storytelling in the modern world, particularly when it comes to uplifting and sharing the stories of migrant women of colour. Annie is refreshing and bold in her storytelling and always brings creative flare to her sharings. Get ready for her special wisdom and call to connect in with the power of your own story.

You are intuitive. You know that right? Even if your intuition may feel distant to you or even a bit ‘off’ at times, or even many times, you still are an intuitive soul. We all are in our own way. And it is the amazing work of my guest today on The Priestess Podcast - Natalie Miles - who is making it a part of her life’s work to ensure that you not only know this about yourself, but should you desire, you cultivate it deeply as well. And for any of you who know what it is like to be very attuned with your intuition and soul voice you will know that it is very much something that can support your own power, personal sovereignty and decision making in the world in the very best possible way. Natalie is here with us today to support you to lean into your intuition more and indeed have it become a part of your most powerful self and way of being. 

Do you have a morning routine or practice that you know deeply serves you? Or are maybe trying to establish one for yourself? If so then you will love my guests on The Priestess Podcast today - Britt Deanda and Tara Schulenberg. Britt and Tara share with us their very practical and down to earth wisdom on how to cultivate a start to your day that is intentional and filled with energy, grace and soul. From this place they believe you can then be at your very best throughout your day and create the type of life that is most reflective of you and any desire you may have to serve others. And the great news? The tips and suggestions that Britt and Tara share in this episode and their new book ‘Good Morning Intentions’ can be applied to any time of the day and so don’t step back if you’re not a ‘morning person’ per se. There is absolutely loving guidance here for you too! 

When I first read the words ‘Goddess Ministry’ I felt transported into a beautiful world of possibility and hope - for both our present and future. I see the healing of our world to be so deeply connected to the power of people reclaiming their innately divine and spiritual nature. People who believe in community, collective care, the facing head on of injustice and inequality, and the opening of pathways for us all to heal - and compassionately witness others do the same. And so it’s not going to be a surprise to you that in finding the creatrix of The Goddess Ministry - Lettie Sullivan - that I wanted to have her as a guest on The Priestess Podcast. Lettie’s journey, work and presence is an inspiration and since we conducted this interview, I have had the joy of sitting in a virtual circle with her and soaking in her wisdom even further. Blessings to you all as we begin this 2021 year of The Priestess Podcast with this very special guest.

2020. Well...what can you say really. It’s been a year like no other in my lifetime and I am sure for many people decades older than me too. It has been filled with challenges, realisations, learnings, unlearnings, change and I would dare say for many if not all of us - uncomfortable growth and even loss and grief. And so as we near the end of this tumultuous year what is it that may lie ahead for us in the stars for 2021? Is there more of the same ahead? Or something new and fresh on the horizon? I couldn’t think of anyone better to ask this of than cosmic astrologer Natalie Walstein. Natalie is here with us today to guide us into 2021 and what the stars and planets have in store for us...remembering always of course that your own free will is your greatest compass and guide. 

I never take for granted what an extraordinary privilege it is every time a guest is a yes to coming on The Priestess Podcast. And I certainly feel that privilege and honour today with my guest Annabelle Sharman. I first met Annabelle at a beautiful workshop about Indigenous wisdom and sharing, where she gave me a healing. And it was while Annabelle was holding space for me that I received a call, retrieved via message just moments after, that a dear friend of mine had passed. It was not a timing coincidence. Annabelle and I have remained in touch and connection to each other ever since and I am constantly in awe of the beautiful and deeply healing work she puts out in the world. If you are a coach, counsellor, healer or space holder yourself, I’m honestly not sure there is someone I could recommend more highly right now to explore your own capacity to hold space and BE the guide you most long to be. This is Annabelle’s magick - bringing out your own - through her Yuma Healing.

In general whenever I have thought about Goddess Temples, visions of the ancient world have come into my minds eye from places such as Greece, Rome, Mesopotamia and Crete. Thinking about a Goddess Temple in modern times was not something regular for me until I had the experience of going to one in Glastonbury in 2019. It’s challenging to describe how truly special it was to walk into a physical space entirely devoted to the Goddess; a haven of beauty, wisdom, devotion and spiritual guidance there for the greater good of all. And so when I learned that an incredible group of people were renovating a very special space right here in my home town of Melbourne, Australia, I could not get my special guest on the show today quick enough. Priestess Pia Gaia has grown up in a world entirely surrounded by the Goddess and she, along with a group of devoted humans, are creating a Goddess Temple in Melbourne devoted to The Great Mother. Pia shares with us today the journey to making this space happen and how it still continues now. If you’re as inspired as I am from listening to Pia, you’re going to be putting it on your must do list of spiritual places to visit very soon. 

Have you ever drunk a feargarita? Not a MARgarita but a FEARgarita? Well I didn’t even know that such a concoction existed until I read about it on the website of my Priestess Podcast guest today - Hayley Carr. And in this interview ahead you’re about to dive into the world of this mindset maven and world champion sportswoman who is going to encourage you to DRINK UP! Hayley is one of the most incredible coaches I know in the personal development field right now. She has a particular passion for supporting incredible people with their mindset and how they can, in particular, dance with fear and uncertainty and make it work for them in every aspect of their calling. And so...the bar is open everyone. Step up and have a drink with Hayley and I today to move from fearful to fierce! 

I think it’s reasonably safe to say that if you are blessed enough to be alive and listening to The Priestess Podcast right now you have dreams that you would love to come true. Hopes, desires and wants for the life you want to lead - as a spiritual expression of your soul and who you truly are. What does it really take to embrace those dreams and make them happen? That is something of course that is going to be different for every person. What works for me or someone else may not work for you. And that’s what makes my guest on the show today - Leonie Dawson - so fascinating. As an author, course guide and artist, Leonie has created a multi-million dollar business doing what she is deeply passionate about, and she has touched hundreds of thousands of lives in doing so. She’s quirky, creative, has extremely strict but loving boundaries on her time and needs, and is living proof of what can be possible when you fully embrace your dreams and reach for the life that you most want.

If you do yoga or have it coming into your field as something to explore, then my guest on The Priestess Podcast today, Susanna Barkataki, is going to be Goddess sent to you. I have this small theory, (which is clearly untested in any scientific way but still pressing on my heart), that most of us do not really know what yoga actually is. What we think it is, is a version sold to us through a white and capitalist lens that has stripped yoga of it’s full spiritual and social meaning to just be about what we do on a mat. Susanna is here to share with us today how yoga is so much more than likely what we think we know and how to decolonise our practice and view of it. She is enlightening, warm and also challenging in true yoga practitioner form.

Today is a first for the Priestess Podcast where we have not one but TWO very special guests for you - Shakisha Reynolds and Laureen Mally of The Woo Collective. These incredible mystics have been helping people activate their spiritual DNA and bring their soul gifts into the world for a number of years now after meeting on the interwebs - Facebook to be exact! They have an ignited bond of sisterhood that runs deeply both through their personal lives as well as the work they bring to the world in partnership. THIS is the sort of sister relationship that I know so many of us crave and want to be a part of and I can’t wait for you to listen in and hear their goodness in this episode. It’s like a girl chat of the highest spiritual order!

What is your life purpose? Big question right? Right! It often seems to me that when this topic is being discussed there are suggestions that you need to do a lot of seeking and searching to FIND your life purpose, however my guest on The Priestess Podcast today - Neha Awasthi disagrees. How and why she disagrees is going to be something I won’t reveal to you now - but encourage you to simply listen in to Neha’s beautiful, soulful and I believe deeply spiritual way of looking at our life and any given moment we are blessed with. This is the sort of episode that might just see you take a big exhale OUT both during and at the end - and change the way you view life and your purpose differently and forever more.

You are worthy. You are loved. You are Diosa. These are the words of my special guest on The Priestess Podcast today - psychotherapist Christine Gutierrez. Christine has been working with and through La Diosa - The Goddess - since she was a child and you’re about to learn how passionately she connects with Her in everything she does in her work today. Christine is particularly passionate about how the Goddess can help us transcend emotional wounds, traumas and hurt IF we are open to all that She needs to show us. And the operative word there is OPEN, because the face of the Goddess does not always come to us in a way that is pretty or neat. Sometimes She needs to show us our darkness and shadow to truly create the conditions for a deeper connection to our soul and highest self.

If you own and run your own business or dream of doing so one day, then today's episode of The Priestess Podcast will be an inspiring one for you to listen into with my guest Hayley Tapper. Hayley is a Feminine Empowerment Coach and Business Mentor and is passionate about serving in her business from a deeply soul aligned space. She shares with us today what a true soul aligned business really is and looks like, how to find your way back to or tap into your soul gifts, and the importance of embodiment and compassion as a business owner. If you’re feeling a little lost in your business and not really sure how to let your heart and soul lead the way for you, it will be filled with feminine wisdom that will support you.

Human Design. It’s quite hot right now! And if you’ve not heard very much about it, I have a feeling that may be about to change as it continues to ignite and inspire people throughout the world on in their lives and spiritual paths. My guest today on The Priestess Podcast is Willow Rising, and she is passionate about Human Design and in particular how supportive it can be for those people who identify as highly sensitive. Human Design is certainly not however just for highly sensitive people. It is something that via your natal chart can provide you with an inspiring opening and pathway to the ownership of your soul gifts. And I’m sure we can all agree that’s a wonderful opening for any of us to dive into. 

We are talking all things angels today on The Priestess Podcast with my special guest Shunanda Scott who is an angel medium. Shunanda shares with us exactly what an angel is and it just might not be what you think! She also does some myth busting for us around the physical form of angels, their representation in art and religion and how we all have angels in our lives, even if we are not consciously aware of them. And in this very special conversation we are visited by a guest - a shared friend of ours who passed over this year - in the most beautiful and unexpected of circumstances. Such is the power of angels and how they can bring people together - and you closer to yourself - at any time. 

My guest on The Priestess Podcast today, Wendy Wise, has been, up until now, somewhat of an incredible spiritual secret. She has been doing the most amazing and visionary work as a First Nations Healer and now has been called to start to share her magick more widely throughout the world. And so I feel very blessed to bring her to you as our guest today. Wendy is here to share with us about The Wise Method and her three step process and experience that is on the one hand so very simple as a spiritual undertaking and journeying within to our deepest selves, but also so profound, that it may just make you wonder if this visionary woman has the key to unlocking our collective healing as a planet, which we all so deeply need right now. 

Confession time! You might be forgiven for thinking that maybe with me being a priestess and all that I serenely meditate every day and in fact are a dab hand at it! I am not. I do meditate, but I am not what you could say are a devotee or regular, more that I dip in and out when I need it, want it, or am guided to it. And that works for me. Whatever your connection to meditation - be it tenuous or a total devotion - I know you’re going to love my guest on The Priestess Podcast today - Rebekah Borucki. Bex is a meditation teacher and guide who is passionate about bringing the benefits of meditation to the masses, particularly those who are feeling stressed out, overwhelmed and anxious. And let’s face it...right now in life and the global happenings we are all traversing, isn’t it the case that all of us in some way or another are feeling such things right now to varying degrees? Bex wisdom could therefore be a saviour for you as it has been for so many people through her work all around the world. Her passion for meditation is truly magic, especially when you connect in with the truth it can bring to your life and how accessible it is as well.

Can you possibly imagine what it must be like to be engaged at the age of 11 - a soon to be child bride - and have your entire life mapped out for you with no choice or control over your own destiny? Maybe you have had that experience or a similar one as a child and know the sense of confusion and uncertainty it comes with, or maybe it is too far away from your own life to even contemplate. My guest on The Priestess Podcast today - Shar Moore - was engaged to be married as a child - and is with us to share her story and how she broke free of that to become the successful and thriving woman she is today. I know that all of us in some form or another have had feelings of deep uncertainty about our lives and spiritual paths. This is in fact for so many of us meant to be a part of our path. Hearing the lived experiences of other people like Shar supports us to know we are not alone, and even in the most dire of circumstances we can so often find light and a way forward to become who we truly long to be.

You can be forgiven for thinking that the term ‘Dark Night of the Soul’ is a new age one. I know I did. However it is in fact a life and spiritual experience that has been around since the 16th century and likely a long time before then as well. The Dark Night of the Soul is an intense spiritual awakening bought about by a disconnection from one’s own source of love and divinity. It can and often is frightening, difficult, isolating, lonely and come about with a deep experience of depression and anxiety as well. My guest on The Priestess Podcast today - Emily Ghosh Harris - has had a Dark Night of the Soul - as have I. Emily shares with us her journey and some beautiful tips on how if you are experiencing one too you can gently ease your way through it to greater connection and joy on the other side.  

Wouldn’t it be nice to have a map that you could refer to when it comes to finding your divine soul purpose in life and walking a truth path of empowerment and sovereignty. Well...my special guest on The Priestess Podcast today - Jacqueline Teej - has created one. It’s called The Soul Map and is the heart of her latest book ‘Master of One.’ You’re soon to find out that Jacqueline would be the last person to suggest that this map is a one size fits all approach to our spiritual journeys. There is of course no such thing. However her work in spiritual awakenings and journeys is filled with practical support for those of us on this sometimes beautiful, but also sometimes challenging and messy path. And let’s face it...sometimes we can do with all the help we can get right? Right!

My guest on The Priestess Podcast today, George Lizos, is SUCH a joy. An author, spiritual teacher, podcast host and Pagan Priest, George shares with us his passion for lightwork and lightworkers and his new book ‘Lightworkers Gotta Work.’ George also opens up about his journey to becoming a Pagan Priest and discovering he was gay, as well as his special affinity to the Isle of Avalon and Glastonbury and his Goddess experiences there. I am certain that George is going to touch your heart as he did mine in this special episode today.

My guest on The Priestess Podcast today is the extraordinarily special Indigenous Medicine Healer Asha Frost. Asha is a descendent of the Ojibwe people and was deeply initiated onto a healing path when she was diagnosed with a chronic illness in her teens. In this interview Asha shares with us her belief that we are all our own greatest healers, the important first step to take in finding your own healer within, and her thoughts on the future of Indigenous medicine and sacred ways throughout the world. She also shares with us the vital importance of non-Indigenous people not taking aspects of Indigenous culture and using them in healing ways without being committed to understanding the full culture, stories and impacts of colonisation and white supremacy as they do. This is a beautiful, powerful and reverent interview that touched my heart. I am sure it will yours too.

We are FINALLY starting to talk a great deal more openly about periods and menstruation. It’s not before time. For something that millions of people the world over experience regularly it is in fact...more than time. How do we take the simple talking about this realm however - beyond that - way beyond that - to a place where we can feel immersed, empowered and even emboldened by it? Which is a long way from maybe how generations before us experienced their flow. My guest on The Priestess Podcast today - Claire Baker - a period coach and author of ‘50 Things You Need to Know about Periods’ - takes us there. It’s something that Claire calls menstrual self-authority and if you don’t know what that is...it may just be about to change the way you think of periods and menstruation forever.

There are a lot of myths that influence how we think and even feel about witches. The patriarchy has an enormous impact on this and as you will have heard me say many times now it’s up to each of us to look at that within ourselves and how we can deconstruct it for our own sovereignty as modern beings. My guest on The Priestess Podcast today - Eryn Johnson - is a witch. In particular she is a very gentle, holistic, healing witch who you are about to find out has some both beautiful as well as challenging thoughts on the healing path that we are all walking as human beings. And a little heads up today about this episode...it doesn’t happen very often but it did occur on the day of this recording that we had some sound and tech issues. A combination of a wild storm as well as long distance make this one a little scratchy in places but in throwing out any pursuit of perfectionism, Eryn and I persisted to bring you this. We know you will still love it!

What is a lightworker? Are you one? Chances are if you’re listening to podcasts like this one you’re well and truly on your way there - if not one already. My guest on The Priestess Podcast today is the straight talking and deeply love and encouragement filled Tracey Spencer. Tracey shares with us her deep passion for lightworkers and why she thinks the world needs them so much right now, the bumps and hurdles that all lightworkers face and need to overcome to shine their full light, and the divine connection between creativity, lightwork and the creation of her debut book “Rock Your Light.”

What is your divine power? And how is it different to simply your personal power? My guest on The Priestess Podcast today - Hemma Haridin - is about to explain this to you in such a rich, beautiful and accessible way that your life might never quite be the same again. That’s a big call I know...but I’m standing by it. You’re about to hear Hemma’s magick as a healer, serial entrepreneur and master guide come forth in such a way that you will be deeply compelled to listen to her wisdom...as a direct portal to accessing your own.

We’re talking to a real life devoted priestess on The Priestess Podcast today in Meredith Rom. Meredith has been walking and living and serving as a priestess for many years now in her incredible work and Rising Women Leaders Podcast. In particular today we discuss some of the core wounds that Meredith sees in priestesses - many of which may have been with us ancestrally for life times. Meredith also shares some beautiful suggestions and practices on how we can heal these wounds within ourselves, and show up more fully in our personal priestess power.

I think it’s reasonably safe to say that all of us desire to have deep and beautifully connected relationships in our lives, especially in our intimate relationships. How much of our whole and true self however are we willing to bring to those relationships and see in someone else? How much are we willing to deeply open up to all areas of our heart and soul that requires work, love and attention so that we become aware of things such as when we are projecting our pain onto someone or desiring for them to save or fix us? My guest on The Priestess Podcast today Sarah Poet is here to talk to us about conscious relating with both ourselves and those we love most right now or will in the future. This is the sort of relationship class you most definitely do not get in school and requires total personal responsibility. In other words - it’s a must listen for us ALL.

For someone who was raised in a religion and way of life that was not related to the Goddess at all, you’re about to find yourself deeply inspired by my guest today and her now total devotion to Her. Syma Kharal joins me in this episode of The Priestess Podcast where she shares her journey of connecting to the Goddess in Her many forms and how She works with Her in her global business helping women rise and connect to their divinity. In particular, Syma shares with us how she feels the Goddess has helped her flourish as a woman and even though the two of us come from entirely different worlds, we find we have a shared love and connection to the same Goddess who was an early part of our Goddess journey. Get ready to have your heart captured by this extraordinary woman and Goddess devotee!

It seems like we’re talking about our minds and mindset a LOT these days - more so than I have ever known us to be. Is this because we have more mindset needs or is it due to us awakening to a knowing that possibly - just possibly - when it comes to the things we want to achieve in life and on our spiritual journeys - we - and the way we THINK - might be the biggest thing holding us back? I think that maybe both have a role, but it’s the second one I am seeing most often leap to the forefront in our lives right now. How can we harness our own inner power to cultivate a mindset that is supportive, nurturing and even loving? My guest on The Priestess Podcast today - Stephanie Kwong - is absolutely devoted both personally and professionally to finding that out and she is filled with soulful wisdom and practical steps in this episode you can take to embark upon your own version of mindset mastery.

Host of The Priestess Podcast Julie Parker shares her most memorable guest experiences in this 150th episode celebration and news on her latest book PRIESTESS: Ancient Spiritual Wisdom for Modern Sacred Women.

When you are named after the great gnostic Goddess Sofiah it’s a little bit of a given that you may embody some of Her qualities of wisdom and creativity throughout your life. And this is certainly the case for my guest on The Priestess Podcast today - Sofiah Thom. Sofiah is one of the few women I’ve met that has actually been deeply raised in a spiritual tradition that aligns with the world of the Goddess from a young age and it’s something that you are about to find permeates throughout everything she does as a global priestess and entrepreneur. In particular as a performing artist and temple arts dancer Sofiah is passionate about how we can embody the power of the Goddess deep within our bodies and she shares her insights on how we can all do that in an empowering and beautiful way.

Having conversations with beautiful fellow Priestesses about the world of the Goddess totally lights me up! It’s a shared language and passion and experience that I find so uplifting and so it was to be the same with my guest on The Priestess Podcast today - Tia Johnson. Tia is a serious goddess devotee and works with Her in all aspects of her business. And today we riff on numerous goddesses including Frejya, Aphrodite, Lilith, Kali, Bridget and more about how influential they have been in her life and the magick she continues to weave and co-create with them in her business and own podcast now. Get ready for a goddess half hour of power!

When we dive into the world of spirituality and all that can open up for our hearts and souls, it can be very easy to gloss into and over all the aspects of spirituality, religion and worship that may in fact not be that glossy at all. For some people, their experience within the realms of their spiritual choices and exploration is one that is filled with deep isolation, questioning, heavy expectations and even trauma. The journey from and through that, to not just a sense of, but a totally sovereign embodiment of, spiritual freedom, can be a rocky one. My guest on The Priestess Podcast today - Madison Morrigan - bravely shares her story of finding spiritual freedom from the oppressive religion she found herself in as a teen and young woman. It’s a journey filled with sadness, anger and frustration, but also hope, power and grace - all words that are fitting to describe Madison and the gifts she is bringing into the world now through her loving presence.

One of the things that constantly delights me about having conversations with incredible women on The Priestess Podcast is how many deep and beautiful parallels and connections can be drawn between our spiritual growth and every aspect of our lives. It truly helps me - and I hope helps you too - see that we really are so much more than the body we walk around in and that concept is truly bought home today by my guest Cara Cifelli. Cara shares with us today her journey of experiencing an eating disorder and the patriarchal, societal expectations she believed was prominent in that developing for her AND how connecting with her own spirit and divine light within - way beyond what she looks like or does for a living - helped her to heal. It’s an inspiring journey that now sees Cara healthy, vibrant and well AND supporting other women to be the same.

I have had the great pleasure of knowing Priestess Maree Eddings for a number of years now but I don’t mind admitting to you that in this interview ahead - she deeply surprised, challenged AND delighted me. And that’s a wonderful thing when you know someone! Maree is an amazingly magnetic leader of women and in this episode today she shares with us her thoughts on how to ignite your own personal influence, the spiritual meaning she believes that has and what true power really is. And believe me when I tell you that is likely NOT to be what you have been taught great leadership was in school, nor the examples of it we see in our white male dominated world today. Get ready to be ignited in this episode of The Priestess Podcast today!

When I first began a business as a life coach 18 years ago now, there was no such thing as spiritual life coaching or a spiritual life coach. My how times have changed! There are now many coaches supporting people around the globe to more deeply explore their spiritual paths and light in the world, which is a truly wonderful thing. I’m sure it’s not going to surprise you to hear me say that. My guest on The Priestess Podcast today - Amanda Johnson - is one of the many coaches doing this work and I know you are going to get so much out of this interview whether you are a coach or not. Amanda’s soulful and humble manner is at once both calming and inspirational and her work in helping people find their divine light within I know is just beginning. 

Is there such a thing as a true path, higher calling or one soul’s purpose for all of us? My guest on The Priestess Podcast today - Britt Lynn - believes that there absolutely is. And that it is our greatest role in life as spiritual beings to find out what it is. Britt shares with us her thoughts around the concept of your own True North Path in this episode and in particular opens us up to the knowing that it is often our greatest wounds and shadows that can show us the way ahead and become our greatest teachers and light in doing so. Yep, all those pesky things that keep coming back around to us reminding us constantly that we are all beautiful works in progress and deserving of love and self-compassion as we walk through things together.

The rich and beautiful word of traditional Indigenous medicine and pathways is bought to life today on The Priestess Podcast by my guest Claudia Parada. Claudia comes from a deep lineage of peoples from the Mesoamerican region and she considers herself to be on a lifelong path of learning from her elders and ancestors in all that she does. Claudia will inspire you today with her humility and wisely gentle approach to her healing work and once again show us how magickally transformative it is to forge a path of connection with our own spiritual culture - no matter where we come from.

How do you manage yourself and your life when things don’t go your way or even just to plan? When things are a bit awry do you treat yourself and talk to yourself well and with kindness and compassion? Or does the way you respond to such times make the situation you are responding to even worse than it was to begin with? Phewww. Deep sigh out! I think we might have all been there. Our guest today on The Priestess Podcast, David Trotter, talks to us about the incredible practice of self-soothing and how we can better respond to the inevitably difficult times we will all experience on our life and spiritual journeys. You’re soon to learn that soothing is not just for babies and children. We need it as adults too.

Get ready to fall in love with Ash Johns. I certainly did after having her as a guest on The Priestess Podcast to talk all things conscious business which she does with us today. Even if you are not a business owner yourself, you are going to find so many golden gems and truths in what Ash shares today as a consumer of businesses. Ash speaks to the heart of what so many of us who are business owners desire - creating, nurturing and beautiful a business that makes a true impact and difference. A business and life that is a legacy of love, service and integrity. It’s a must listen from a must engage with guest and business maven.

I don’t often like to use or lean into the word should, however in this episode introduction today - I’m going to. I think it’s well and truly time we should get past any notion that you either can’t make an abundant living from being a spiritual entrepreneur OR that you shouldn’t do so because it’s just not ‘spiritual’ anyway. Holy Goddess no! That’s a blatant swipe of the patriarchy and spiritual speak gone terribly awry if ever I’ve heard it and a really great way to keep women in particular small and not believing they are deserving of financial freedom and wealth. Brigit Esselmont, my guest on The Priestess Podcast today, is a living embodiment of a truly successful and extraordinary spiritual entrepreneur who is running a million plus dollar a year business. As a tarot reader and teacher of the tarot. Yep. Cards. Divination. Spirit. And she’s as grounded and relatable as ever a person you could meet. Get ready for the worlds of money, spirit and the Divine to meet in this episode and show you what is truly possible for your own abundance as well.

We live in a world that chiefly values women remaining in the maiden phase of their life. Messages surround us everywhere that we should be young, spritely, fresh and even virginal, despite the fact that this young stage of life often means we are still maturing and therefore understandably immature, are caught up in our own drama and needs, and crave attention. It can be hard to leave behind our maiden self in such a way that we cross into the more mature mother stage of our life feeling ready for all that entails. My guest on The Priestess Podcast today, Sarah Durham Wilson, is wholly devoted as a priestess to supporting women bridge the life gap from maidenhood to motherhood - and no - that does not mean as a birth mother. What does it actually mean? Tune in to this wise and womanly episode of the podcast today to find out!

Making a commitment to write, journal or track something in your life involves just that - a commitment. However we have likely all had an experience at least once in our lives where doing so has reaped us enormous rewards. That little bit of discipline can go a LONG way! On The Priestess Podcast today we are learning from our wonderful guest Michaela Rosandich about how tracking our cycles - and especially that of the moon - can help us lead richer, fuller and more wonderful lives. Lady Luna is there for us to freely access Her power and wisdom every day if we choose. And if you do choose - believe me when I tell you and as Michaela shares with us today - you will be so glad that you did in a multitude of ways.

So I’m going to tell you something quite obvious as we feel into this episode of The Priestess Podcast today - but in saying that maybe it isn’t so obvious as I think. Your health and wellbeing is about so much more than what you eat or how much exercise you do. So. Much. More. And while I think this IS something that more and more of us are realising as we begin to incorporate an understanding of things such as our sleep, sexuality and mindset as other elements of health, how much do we really think about our spirituality and it’s connection to our health? I’m certainly not seeing it spoken about a great deal which is why I am so grateful for our guest today - Priestess and Women’s Health Coach - Jolinda Johnson. Jolinda is about to share with you infinite ways our spirit and health are interconnected and why it is so vital for our wholeness that we continue to see them as so.

My guest on The Priestess Podcast today, Larissa O’Neill, is an incredibly gifted and experienced space holder. Larissa considers herself to be a sacred vessel for women’s wisdom and when you hear her speak and share about her work you will soon understand that to be true. How is it that we can see ourselves as sacred vessels when we desire to hold deep space for others? And how can we come to learn and understand that doing this work and being in service to others requires us to always, but always, be in deep service to ourselves? Larissa shares this and so much more in this inspiring episode today.

I love exploring topics on The Priestess Podcast that we never have before, which is quite a feat after more than 130 episodes! Today we are doing just that in talking about exercise with our special guest Nicole Meline. Nicole is a very special athlete and catalyst for inspiring people to understand the connection between physical movement and our spiritual selves and that movement and exercise is so much more than something we can just do to change our body shape or even just remain healthy and well. Nicole believes that spirited movement is a right for all of us and that it can act as a portal to our most spiritual, reverent and divine selves. Get ready to think about exercise and movement in a way that you may never have before.

We do it every second of every day - even when we are sleeping. Breathe. We breathe in and out, in and out, and likely, unless we are having difficulties doing so, don’t think about it very much when we do. Can our breath and breathing serve a greater purpose however than just keeping us alive? Is it connected to our spiritual and divine selves and be something we can access for deeper healing, spiritual connection and connection to our highest self. My guest on The Priestess Podcast today, Christabel Zamor, is a resounding yes to all of that and so much more when it comes to the power of our breath. As someone who has experienced a breath workshop before and found it transformative you may want to explore this for yourself too. Let’s breathe together!

Julie Parker on 2019 Priestess Podcast Year

Whether we want it to be or not, fear and self-doubt are companions for us on our life journeys. We can want for them to not be, but it doesn’t lessen their actual presence any more from doing so. Today’s Priestess Podcast guest - Sas Petherick - has made a life long commitment to studying self-doubt and how it shows up in our lives. She is a total boss mistress at this and we all benefit from her being so. Sas shares with us today her own journey with self-doubt, ways we can gently and compassionately overcome it and see it as a portal for our own spiritual awakenings and journeys. 

My guest on The Priestess Podcast today - Abiola Abrams - is a wildly successful spiritual woman entrepreneur who works deeply with the Goddess in support of everything she does. Abiola travels the world hosting retreats, writing for magazines as a columnist and is a widely in demand speaker and best selling author. She shares with us how the Goddess first came to her in life, how she works with Her energy and her daily spiritual routine that supports her to create such magick in the world. Abiola is an inspiration in how she channels divine Goddess energy and you’re likely to pick up more than one way you can do so yourself from her time with us on the show.

Sheena Yap Chan has interviewed more than seven hundred women on the topic of self-confidence. Now that’s a lot of anecdotal and real life evidence on what it takes to be a confident woman in the modern world, especially when we can feel surrounded by messages that help us be anything but. As my guest on The Priestess Podcast today Sheena was the perfect person to talk about self-confidence and her perspective on the spiritual ‘Tao’ or way that we can develop more confidence in our lives. She refreshingly speaks about how self-confidence is something that is a journey and not a destination and something that we all have to commit to working on if we want to have it.

I adore my guest on The Priestess Podcast today - Reverend High Priestess Thema Azize Serwa. Thema lives up to her larger than life title and name in every way - as you are soon about to find out. Growing up in a church environment Thema became curious as she got older about women in the bible, and their stories, and it has lead her down a path of enlightenment and an awakening to the Goddess and life as a Priestess, while maintaining her love of God and Christianity. Thema is direct, loving, inspirational and a true guide for modern women looking to explore their spirituality in her work as an Interfaith Minister, as well as her calling to help them love and honour their womb spaces more as a radical act of healing and self-empowerment.

If you have been a regular listener of The Priestess Podcast you will know that I consider our shadow to be a gift, and shadow work to be life giving. Even though we have parts of ourselves that we don’t want to face and heal, doing so is often the pathway to untold growth and wonder - and it’s certainly hat way if we are a business owner. My incredible guest today - Anna Tsui - believes we all have shadow magic inside us and that if we are entrepreneurs, it has specific ways it shows up, presenting us with opportunities to work with it and help grow our businesses from a position of strength and what she calls our ‘executive voice.’ If you are a business owner or dreaming of becoming one, working with your shadow is going to be a must and Anna’s episode today may just be the portal to help you open up to do so.

What would you do if you had a huge a-ha moment one day and realised that the life you were living was not the one - in any way - that you wanted anymore. Well, if you are my guest on The Priestess Podcast today, Steph Jagger you go skiing. Now that sounds simple and even trite - but it’s not. Steph’s call to adventurous action on a ski trip that took her around the world was a spiritual adventure of the highest calling. It was an adventure that had heartbreak, challenge, joy and a deep uncovering of her feminine and her own version of truth. Hers is a story and journey that is inspiring, uplifting and filled with life lessons. It may even inspire you to go on a spiritual adventure of your own.

I wonder how many times in life you may have (somewhat huffily!) said to yourself “I’ve got it!” or “Thanks but no I don’t need help” or muttered under your breath - “I should have done it myself.” If you’re anything like me at all then you probably have - and more than once too. My wonderful guest on The Priestess Podcast today Elayne Fluker calls this “I got it” syndrome and believes it is something that so many modern women are feeling the pressure and weight of under heavy cloaks of expectation and the belief that to be successful we have to have it all. If you have ever felt alone and wondered if you need to truly take on everything yourself or it will NEVER get done or done to the standards you want - Elayne is about to be your new BFF! Listen up to her amazing HELP model - it may just change the way you ask for support in your life forever.

Carolina Rodriguez-Barros never grew up as a little girl believing that she would become a New Earth Soul Alchemist and I am sure that is something that many of you listening right now could relate to. If someone had told me that I would be doing what I am doing right now even as a young woman in my 20’s I would scarcely have believed them. My interview with Carolina for The Priestess Podcast today will help you to see how everything in life that we experience and even desire not to experience is a part of our spiritual path. And that in fact life itself IS the spiritual path we are all on.

What does it mean to have true intimacy in your everyday life? To feel deeply connected to everything you are and to have others see you in that way too? Intimacy is something that can of course mean different things to us all, but I think you’re going to love my guest today - Juliet Allen - and her very special take on what true intimacy really is. As a sexologist I couldn’t let the opportunity pass me by to talk to Juliet about the connection between sex and intimacy and also sex and spirituality as well. It makes for a soulful, spirited and sexy conversation that I hope you love.

My guest on The Priestess Podcast today - Olana Barros - is a truly special woman something that you are about to find out in our interview today all about life, living and legacy. In particular what Olana believes is your Divine Legacy.  This is one of those rich and soulful conversations that may just change your life. So often we think that to achieve a legacy or leave a legacy or mark of some kind that we have to do something extra-ordinary, something that makes us famous or impacts millions of people.  When in fact, if you believe or are about to believe for the first time, like Olana and I do, that such things are not at all required to leave a legacy. What is, is living your life to its fullest and in your own Divine truth. Every person who lives in such a way leaves a legacy.

Sarah Wilder is a multi-disciplinary artist and designer, thought leader and nature nerd ever exploring the healing arts + natural world. She is on a mission to self actualise and teach others how to work with the beauty and magic in nature to help rediscover their own.

It’s always so beautiful for me to interview people for The Priestess Podcast who are passionate about what they do and the gifts they bring into the world. And such is the case with my guest today - Ashni - who you are about to find out has a deep love and passion for flowers. And that passion is one I absolutely share. Ashni is a flower essence therapist and in this episode she speaks to the beauty, wisdom and healing properties of flowers and how they are so often a mirror of our own spiritual journeys. It’s the perfect episode once you have finished listening - to go out and buy yourself a bunch of flowers or spend time in your garden with these divine gifts from Mother Earth.

You, like me, probably think you know what self-care means. Even if you are not necessarily ‘doing’ it well for yourself. However do we really know what self-care and tending to ourselves with tenderness actually is? Or are we still a part of the media machine that tells us that self-care is really about bubble baths or going for a walk and doing something to improve or better ourselves? My guest on The Priestess Podcast today - Mara Glatzel - is a fan of a bubble bath as am I. But you are soon to learn from Mara that self-care is about so much more than something we may ever be able to Instagram. It’s about deep exploration and being in relation with oneself, curiosity, setting boundaries, difficult conversations with people we love and leaning into the discomfort of asking for what we truly need. 

What does it really mean to be a Queen? The Queen of your own life, body, feelings, experiences, thoughts. And more. The Queen of it all. When we think about the Queen Archetype it’s easy to just see what is on the surface. Someone who is regal, a leader, confident, wears her crown with pride. But embodying the Queen archetype as my incredible guest on the podcast today Nehanda Yemaya Imana shares with us is so much more than that. Being a true Queen in our own life and world is all about taking full responsibility for who we are - who we are not - and who we are becoming. This undoubtedly includes all of our darkness and shadow. Those parts of ourselves that we would rather deny or push away. True Queens face up. Face in. And own all of who they are. May you, as you walk your own version of Queendom in your life - do all of these things - and more.

Love. That’s what my guest on The Priestess Podcast today - Phoebe Mwanza - believes is the deep connection and link between our spirituality and social justice. A human rights lawyer, social justice advocate and podcaster, Phoebe, as an African Australian woman, carries in her heart a lifetime of experiences that have lead her to a place of being passionate about supporting and speaking up about important social and political issues that need to be more widely addressed. Phoebe shares with us in this episode how her spiritual re-awakening in her 30’s ignited this passion and how we can all do better as human beings for each other at both a soul and embodied level.

I remember the first time I saw a tarot deck - it was in a movie - and shuffling the cards was a very cranky looking crone who was about to use them to dispense some hard learned wisdom to the young woman sitting opposite her. From that moment on I believed for a long time that tarot cards were really only something that someone else used to read for you and that they were used to tell your fortune. Many moons later I have now come to understand tarot as something that is a creative tool for self-expression and spiritual journeying and as my wonderful guest today - Jerico Mandybur - is about to share with us for self-care and healing as well. If you have never thought of using tarot for your own wellness before Jerico is about to share with you how you can do exactly that.

We are living in a time of great hurry, flurry, busyness and hustle. Even if we try to resist such things, they still swirl around us and can be hard to ignore or not fall into. The result of this is, I believe, many of us are craving more simple lives that echo the times of our grandmothers, great grandmothers and beyond. Lives that are more simple, more soulful and more sacred. My guest on The Priestess Podcast today is Megan Dalla Camina and she has written a beautiful book called ‘Simple, Soulful, Sacred’ - and it’s a gift for our times on how we can create lives that are just that. Megan’s wise and wonderful writing and thoughts on this topic feel like a hustle antidote and are inspiring in their simplicity on how very small and tangible choices and changes are available to us all - every day - if we choose them. The result? A more simple, soulful and sacred life.  

I love it when people surprise you - in a good way. And that’s what happened in the opening moments of my interview today with Dr Rebecca Ray, author of The Universe Listens to Brave. Rebecca is a clinical psychologist and openly admits at the start of our chat today that she has experienced many personal and emotional issues of her own that have seen her have to really wrestle with her own fear, inner critic, relationship with bravery and her sense of self. It’s incredibly refreshing to hear from someone who is upheld as a professional in the area of mental wellbeing and has such a significant online following as well. If you’re currently seeking some more courage and bravery in your life right now, this episode with Dr Rebecca is going to become a favourite.

Is it really possible to be both strong and soft as a person? Can you have boundaries and also be vulnerable with yourself and others?  What does it truly mean to be strong? Does softness mean what we really think it does? We dive into all of these questions and more today on The Priestess Podcast with my guest Emily Cassel. Emily was once a highly self-critical type A perfectionist who avoided vulnerability and softness in her life, until she realised both - combined with action orientated and forward moving strength - was the pathway to her own form of success and fulfillment. When you listen in to her journey and wisdom today you may just find it’s a pathway for you too.

My guest on The Priestess Podcast today, Becca Piastrelli, says that “Being alive in this time means that we all have a long and tangled past that our ancestors navigated to get us where we are today.” And she speaks the absolute truth. Truth in particular when speaking about tanglements that relate to those of us who identify as white and are descendants of people who colonised land, more often than not through brutal means, that we may still, and likely do, benefit from today. There is so much ancestral wisdom, culture and beauty that we can all access as modern day folk living right now. In fact, our ancestors can be our greatest allies. However for us to really tap into their wisdom and learn from their mistakes of past, we must be prepared to uncover and face the truth of both the beauty and the horror of what has transpired before us, so that we can forge a new path for ourselves right now and for all those to come into the future.

The way we feel about ourselves as a human being is complex. It’s not a case of simply wanting to feel about ourselves in a certain way and it happening. There are often a lot of barriers that we have to overcome to claim our full worthiness, beauty and even divinity. One of the things that can stand in our way of achieving this is an emotional wound of some kind, an experience or experiences we have had that deeply impact our sense of self. One of those wounds is The Father Wound and my guest on The Priestess Podcast today - Shade Ashani - is an expert in this area having conducted extensive research and written a book - about the impact of The Father Wound in particular on their daughters. If you, like me, are someone that has had a challenging relationship with their father you may just find this episode comforting and enlightening as well and to know that no matter our past experiences that we can always create a different future for ourselves through conscious choice.

Today’s episode of The Priestess Podcast is delicious - and you may just want to have some of your most favourite foods on hand to enjoy while you listen in. My guest Tracey Pattison has a 25 year history of recipe creation for some of the world’s top chefs. She is passionate about seasonal living and eating, nourishing yourself, and being a sovereign, empowered queen in your own kitchen and how you priestess your plate and body. Tracey is also deeply committed to readdressing patriarchal and capitalist imbalances when it comes to the industrialization and commodification of food, and the returning to ‘home’ whatever that may look like for each of us when it comes to the tending to and nourishment of our own souls.

Leadership is a BIG topic and there are so many ways we can discuss it, think about it and live it as well. In saying that however, for so long now I think that leadership has been presented to us in a very narrow way, and where it is supposedly deeply tied with things such as power and authority. I absolutely love that we are now starting to both talk about, see, and live leadership as human beings in such a way that involves us talking about it in terms of empathy, compassion, heart  and radical responsibility. And my guest on The Priestess Podcast today Luna Grace Isbell-Love is the perfect person to do that with. You are soon about to hear Luna speak of leadership in a way that you may never have before, and if that is the case, I hope it opens your eyes and heart to the knowing that you too are a leader and can be more so if you choose.

I am sure you don’t need me to tell you, or remind you, that the pace with which so many of us live in this modern world is frenetic, frantic and frenzied.  All the EFFS! There always seems to be so much to DO and just being as a human can feel some days like it’s a distant desire. My guest on The Priestess Podcast today is the luminous Connie Chapman, someone whose work and presence I adore. Connie truly embodies her values as a woman and a business owner and so when I invited her on the show to talk about her passion for slowing down - simply slowing down and living a slower and more thoughtful, intuitive, guided existence - I knew she would deliver just that. If you need to take a breath right now - a little one - a big one - or one anywhere in between - you’re going to love Connie and her simple but powerful sharings on how to slow down and tune in to the true depth of your own wisdom.

We are talking all things jade eggs on The Priestess Podcast today. And I couldn’t imagine a better person to do that with than the wonderful Heather Rebecca Wilson. Heather explains to us the ancient beginnings of the jade egg practice and how it was used by priestesses then, to its eventual modernisation now. Heather in particular shares how using a jade egg can enhance not just our sex life but our pelvic floor health and even ability to be able to heal from sexual, racial and ancestral trauma. It’s amazing to listen in to a woman speak so passionately about such an ancient practice in a fresh and modern way.

All of us are transitioning in our lives constantly. We are moving, growing, ageing, cycling and changing all the time. It’s not a part of our lives we can resist if we want to have the privilege of living and growing older - no matter how comfy our comfort zone may be. Despite the fact that change and transition is inevitable in life, it often can come with a lot of personal and spiritual stretching - that let’s face it - doesn’t always feel the best when we are in the thick of it. Our egos can flare, we can feel out of control, and have a desire, even though we know it’s probably not best for us, to remain where we are. Rachel MacDonald, my guest on The Priestess Podcast today, has experienced some large transitions of her own in the past few years, especially since becoming a mother. She talks with us today about how powerful transitions are in our life if we embrace them and provides incredibly soulful and practical insights on how to manage transitions well if you are in the midst of a big one now yourself.

Starting a business can sound like there is a lot of freedom based fun to be had and that absolutely can be the case. What will also be the case - because it is for every business - is a lot of challenging work and at times really stretching personal growth. We can fall into traps of comparing ourselves to others, doing what others think is best for us rather than ourselves and following the crowd. My guest today on The Priestess Podcast - Kerry Rowett - works with entrepreneurs from all over the world to ensure that they remain in deep alignment with their own values and calling so that the work they do in the world is a true and divine reflection of who they are. This can be easier said than done when we are growing and changing all the time, but so necessary in bringing our spiritual and creative gifts to life in all we do.

Jane Hardwicke Collings is direct, bold and some would say unrelenting in her passion and purpose to help women reclaim rites of passage, long denied to them by the patriarchy.  You will soon learn, as my guest on The Priestess Podcast today, that Jane is a no holds barred Priestess of powerful proportions, and her desire for women to feel more deeply connected to the cycle of life through birth, menarche, pregnancy, menopause, decay and death. Todays podcast is going to be of particular interest to you if you are a bleeding woman or one who is potentially going through the life stage of peri-menopause or menopause - or if you have ever birthed a baby. Such things are of course not synonymous with being or identifying as a woman, however for many of us they play a hugely significant role in our lives - and not always in a positive way. Jane’s mission in life is to change this which she is absolutely doing through her worldwide events, workshops, books, teachings and the School of Shamanic Womancraft which she founded.

My guest on The Priestess Podcast today - Martina Fink - is a young eco-warrior deeply committed to her relationship with Mother Earth. Martina is committed to spreading the message that we can all live more sustainably and that small actions can and do make an enormous difference in the reversal of damage to this beautiful planet earth we all call home. In this episode Martina and I talk all things sustainable living and in particular the topics of fast fashion and the power of using a menstrual cup instead of disposable pads and tampons. When Martina shares with you how many tampons a menstruating woman uses in her lifetime and throws away - it will truly make you think about taking the leap to using something that is not only so much more eco-friendly, but spiritually gifting as well.

What are the best crystals to use to support you in your business and career? The wonderful crystal devotee - not to mention incredible life, confidence and speaking coach - Jo Parker is here with us today on The Priestess Podcast to discuss just that. There are of course so many beautiful crystals we can all work with but Jo has a particular passion for using ones that support her work with others and are great to have on your desk near you to assist with your energy and wellbeing throughout the day. There are likely going to be some familiars in here for you - but also some beautiful lesser known crystals you will soon want to get your hands on!

If it’s one thing I know for sure it’s that Priestess Podcast listeners LOVE when we talk all things Goddess. And I can hardly blame you for that because I love talking about Her too. And my guest today Abigail Mensah-Bonsu is passionate about the role of the Goddess in her life and inspiring other women to also connect with her beauty, power and energy. Like me, Abigail believes that the Goddess is simply a reflection of what is already within you and that she lives inside all of us. How much we see Her and desire to work with Her then becomes up to our own curiosity, exploration and willingness. She is always always there for us when we are ready.

Welcome to the 100th episode of The Priestess Podcast. I am so thrilled and grateful to have you hear as a listener.  And wow - what a guest I have for you on this 100th episode in Darla Antoine, Okanagan First Nations Tribal Member and ancestral healer. My conversation with Darla today touches on ancestral healing, why our ancestors are our greatest spiritual allies, death and dying, cultural appropriation in the spiritual world and the delicious power of food in connecting with our ancestors and cultural lineage. It is such a rich and deep topic to explore and one in which I am certain will inspire you, if you have not already begun, to adventure and learn to love and honour your own ancestral line.

What is true body liberation? Why do we have such a loaded and emotive relationship with the word fat? How has our dominant paradigm in the world come to be one where thinness is celebrated as the ideal and most desired body type? And what does it mean to have a loving and liberatory relationship with your body if you are non-binary?  These are the questions - and so much more - that my brilliant and wonderful guest on The Priestess Podcast today - Sarah J Thompson and I are talking about. If you consider yourself someone who wants to create body positive spaces either in person or online - or you’re simply trying to have a richer and more beautiful relationship with your own body, Sarah’s words are here to inspire and set you free.

We all have a body right? Right. But how connected are we to that body even though it is the thing that allows us to breathe, and hopefully do many other things as well such as eat, move, hug and more? You would think we would be very connected but often due to things such as trauma, pain and avoidance, we are disconnected from our bodies and not appreciative for all they do for us. This in turn impacts our spiritual journeys and development, as our guest on The Priestess Podcast today Hinetera Marino shares with us. Hinetera explains what true embodiment really is and how we can engage in simple but powerful practices to truly ground ourselves in the divine homes that house our hearts and souls.

People pleasing is a diss-ease that impacts the lives of so many people, particularly in my experience those who identify as women. We place the needs of other people - even those we don’t love or even know - way ahead of our own. We are often more worried about what others think of us than we are ourselves. And we give up our power in an attempt to get people to like or approve of us, even though such things are out of our control.  If you recognise yourself in any of those traits or behaviours then my guest today on The Priestess Podcast Amy E.Smith is your woman. She’s here to talk to us about people pleasing, why it’s so detrimental to us as spiritual beings having a lived human experience, and what we can do to turn it around once and for all.

If you are blessed, every now and again you get to have a conversation with someone that impacts you at a soul level. I knew this was going to be the case with my guest today, Shanda Catrice, before I even pressed record for our interview where we talk all about your love style. Shanda had a calm presence and deep way of interacting that made me instantly know she knew her stuff. Shanda has been helping women and men with relationships with others and themselves for more than ten years and it’s very obvious she’s brilliant at it. My conversation with her - in just 30 minutes - changed how I see love. And helped me - as I am sure it will you - understand how we relate to others has so much to do with our childhood patterns and what we may need to look at in our shadow to truly experience love in a whole and healed way.

Tara Bliss, my guest on The Priestess Podcast today, believes that the ultimate form of spiritual rebellion is being ourselves. And choosing to be ourselves over and over again every day. This may sound easy, but we all live in a world where constructs and systemic oppressions try and mould us to be something we are not - in so many ways. Choosing to go against the grain, leave something behind, outgrow someone - including a spiritual guide or teacher - is not easy. It requires a bold and rebellious spirit driven by curiosity, and fuelled by discernment and sovereignty. Tara shares with us today her life and spiritual journey of conscious rebellion and how important it is to her and her mentoring work today.

The work of Dr Sharon Blackie has been profound in my spiritual journey. In other more simplistic terms - I’m a fan girl - and this episode today is probably going to show that to you quite quickly. Sharon’s work as a Celtic mythologist and author is lyrical, powerful, beautiful and strong. In particular her work has supported me on my own priestess and spiritual journey to feel more deeply into my own cultural background and ancestry as a woman of chiefly Scottish, Irish, Welsh and English make up. It is a dream come true for me to have her as a guest on The Priestess Podcast and I am overjoyed she is our first guest for this new season. Welcome to 2019!

Host Julie Parker shares the top ten most listened and downloaded episodes of The Priestess Podcast in 2018. What were you all most passionate about? What got you excited to tune in? Learn all in this episode and get a sneak listen in to what is coming on the podcast in 2019.

What we may not necessarily know a great deal about however is the role that we can play in healing the earth metaphysically and spiritually and even what a commitment to our own personal health has to do with that work as well. My incredible guest on the Priestess Podcast today Dr Mahdi Mason is a passionate environmental consultant and is here to share with us today ways we can metaphysically heal the planet in ways that don’t just reduce our harm but can in fact reverse them.

Have you ever had a memory of a past life? I want to be honest with you and share that I THINK I have - but truth be told am not really sure.  It’s an area for me that I’ve never really given deep thought to however I have now come into contact with many people for whom it is a significant part of their spiritual journey and who they consciously believe themselves to be today.

Andrea Lewis has had many past life memories and experiences and she shares those with us on today’s Priestess Podcast episode AND how you can know if dreams, thoughts, feelings or experiences you have had may be just a memory of yourself from a past life too.

I have always been fascinated by people’s journeys and experiences with the Goddess, most likely because it has been such a rich and beautiful part of my own spiritual path.  And of course I am sure it comes as no surprise to you that no two journeys are the same - just as there are no two Goddesses the same either.

My guest today on the Priestess Podcast is High Priestess Je Tuan Jones and she shares with us in an incredibly powerful and also vulnerable way her own spiritual journey and work with the Goddess. How She came to her at a time when she was so needed and also how Je Tuan believes (just as I do) that the Goddess is a reflection of who we are at any given time and that is something that can change, grow and evolve over time.

When you are called to walk through life as a priestess how does that path show up if you are also a business owner? Is it possible to mirror the sacred magick of the priestess path with being an entrepreneur and needing to juggle a hundred balls at one time and also make decisions in what can feel like a sometimes competitive and challenging space?

My incredibly soulful and successful guest on The Priestess Podcast today Sarah Jenks is a living example of how you absolutely can.  Sarah is a powerful priestess who presides over a modern temple that services thousands of women every year. She does so with grace, support and calling in the guidance of the Great Mother in everything she does. Sarah’s path and story will inspire you on how you can use priestess skills and magick to bring your business and even career further to life.

One of the things that I love most about my spiritual practice is having an altar.  It is a special place for me to express my creativity, connect with my inner world and deepen my relationship with the Divine, Goddess and Universal spirit.  And yes, besides all that it’s simply a beautiful space that for me is most often filled with candles, flowers, crystals, oracle cards and treasured possessions that ignite my soul.

My special guest on The Priestess Podcast today is Rachel Ross and Rachel if it’s even possible has a deeper love of altars than even I do. She is a divine expert in their creation, intention and sacred meaning and how creating your own altar can help you get in touch with the deepest parts of yourself. If you have never created an altar for yourself before - get ready to be inspired by Rachel to do so very soon.

Is it possible to have a presence on social media that is soulful and even sacred?  You could be forgiven for thinking it isn’t with the literally millions of people on there and the fact that it sometimes means we have a device in our hands or in front of our eyes seemingly all the time.  It is however possible - more than possible - as my guest Ellie Swift shares with us today on The Priestess Podcast.Ellie is a social media strategist who is always up with the latest trends of social media and online business. This means she has incredible insights into the ways we can show up and use social media for our life, career, business, content creation and even client attraction in ways that mean we can use it smarter and not harder.  And being smart with social media is all about you expressing it and using it in a way that feels right and soulful and reverent to YOU - not you thinking that you have to do it one way, or like someone else, or that somehow you are not in control. Here’s to us all using social media in a way that is authentic, genuine and truly lights us up.  Because when we do that - we attract towards us more beautiful people that align with us meaning we can really bring the ‘social’ part of social media to life.

Is there anything more important for a woman in life than to own and stand in her power and use that to create a life that is sovereign, strong and in service?  My amazing guest today on The Priestess Podcast, Kemi Nekvapil, would likely say there isn’t because so much of our joy and conscious achievements in life stem directly from our relationship with power and how willing we are to claim it for ourselves. In this episode Kemi serves up her special magic that has come from decades of working in the wellness and personal development industries and why she believes that it’s time - more than time - for women to change their relationship to power both individually and collectively. To do it for themselves and all other women around them in example and inspiration of what it can truly mean, look like and feel like to be the sovereign Queen of our own lives.

I have many important and valued relationships in my life and I hope that I could say that I put time into nurturing them all as best I can.  One of those relationships is with Mother Earth, or in the Celtic lineage that I am, from The Great Mother. Connecting with her more deeply and feeling her neverending love and nurturing for me has been a huge part of my priestess path and so when I get a chance to speak with other passionate people about Her greatness like my guest today Jamie Marloo Thomas - I get incredibly excited.Jamie is an indigenous man who is devoted to earth connection and healing through his discipline of Wayapa Wurrk.  Today we dive into what this practice is all about, Jamie’s passion for the healing gifts of the Mother and how we can all benefit from seeing the direct connection between our spirits and the land we walk on every day.

I’m very happy to admit to you that I am a bonafide fan girl of my guest on The Priestess Podcast today - Sera Beak.  Sera is an extraordinary religious scholar, author and speaker whose work in the world I feel has just begun. Sera’s latest book - Redvelations - is right up there with one of my favourite books of 2018.  It’s searing, poignant, beautiful, tragic, hopeful and mysterious. In Redvelations Sera takes us on a journey of soul and finding herself again after reaching a point in her life of feeling lost, untethered and broken.  Her experiences along the way including her encounters with Jesus, Mary Magdalene and especially their daughter Sarah, make for a rich and incredible journey - one that Sera shares so openly and with such courage. Suspend your belief or disbelief for the next 30 minutes and allow Sera to take you on this journey.  You won’t regret it.

Sometimes when you’re doing something live things don’t quite go to plan - or - do they? My brilliant and truly inspirational guest today Dr Danielle Arabena comes from a long line of indigenous people who honour the gift of life through story-telling and our interview today has in fact turned out to be more of a story and sharing of Danielle’s life and gifts as an indigenous doctor, healer, witch and blood priestess. Her story is one that has lessons and guidance in it for all of us.  It’s one to tune into with your whole heart for the messages it contains within that are especially for you.

The beauty industry that targets women in deliberate ways to make them feel bad, unattractive, less than they truly are and small, is a patriarchal oppressive construct that needs a total shake down.  There! I said it. If you, like me, are totally over being sold bs wrinkle creams, lightening spot pens, cellulite fixers and more - all of which detract from our true spiritual essence and beauty - you’re going to love my guest on The Priestess Podcast today Bronwyn Stange.  Bron has created an incredibly powerful new range of beauty products called BoPo Women and is disrupting the beauty industry as she does. Even more than that she’s started a movement to support women to feel truly beautiful and empowered as.they.are and is a part of the new wave of body positive feminists who are making a true difference in how we can learn to appreciate all body shapes, sizes, colours and abilities.

There is a first time for everything and today’s episode is the first time a guest has cried, and I have cried with her, on The Priestess Podcast.  It was a spontaneous and natural response to pain, and expressed pain, and it shines a light on how desperately we need our spiritual communities, work and lives to be more inclusive of black, indigenous and people of colour. My guest today Sonali Fiske helps us to understand that while every one of us likely knows what it feels like at some time to be excluded from something, when that erasure and inclusion stems from the right of each of us to practice and express and lead in our spirituality the way that fits and feels best with our culture and practices, it is beyond painful and damaging.  Sonali’s presence on the podcast today is a spiritual call to action for all of us.

Mary Magdalene was the very last person I ever thought would come to me as a guide in my life. Why I had that thought I am still not really sure but come to me she did while journeying through an intense shamanic experience and I am so blessed to say she is still with me and a large part of my own spiritual counsel. Mary to me embodies love, heart, faith, courage, strength, commitment and my guest on the Priestess Podcast today Mariaestela Gullestrup is right there with me. As the host of The Magdalene Voices podcast, Mariaestela shares her special love of Mary and her own thoughts on who Mary the woman was - which are quite different at this point in time in my life - to my own. It makes for a rich and wonderful conversation about the extraordinary spiritual leader that Mary was.

My guest on the Priestess Podcast today, Thérèse Cator and I were supposed to have an interview all about your light within and shining that out to the world.  And while we have done that, truth is when you are in the presence of a truly beautiful light and human being like Thérèse, that’s just the surface of what you dive into.  Thérèse shares with us her special thoughts on everything from love, liberation, getting free, letting our true selves be out and whole in the world and stepping into great roles of spiritual leadership.  It’s an episode you’re going to want to return to again and again.

Academic. Nurse. Theologian. Psychotherapist. Life Coach. Priestess. These are just some of the extraordinary roles and paths my guest on The Priestess Podcast today Eva Cruz Peña has been in her life.  All of them have helped Eva arrive at a time where she is fully embracing her Puerto Rican heritage and spiritual leadership role as a Latina Priestess. Eva shares her special culture and spirituality with us and her own journey to wholeness in this episode, after a childhood of disowning and leaving parts of herself behind, only to have them be reclaimed and an integral part of her life as a priestess now.

Medicine Priestess.  Even just saying those words feels so gentle and healing to me and I think gentle and healing is a perfect way to describe my guest on The Priestess Podcast today Yaya Erin Rivera Merriman.  Erin has been a true plant medicine woman since she was a child and as she explains to us in this episode she comes from a long cultural line of family who have done the same. Erin is particularly passionate about plant medicine as a healing tool for those who have experienced bullying or emotional trauma, and she shares with us the special magic of her off-grid modern mystery school and her hopes, dreams and desires for that for the future.

As my special guest on The Priestess Podcast today – Simran N’Golet would say – we are about to dive into the deep end of ‘the woo.’  And that deep end in this episode involves talking about galactic heritages, planets, other dimensions, aliens and most of all starseeds.  And why not? This is a podcast about all forms of spirituality and spiritual connection – and that’s why I wanted to have Simran on to talk about her life as a starseed, what that is and how she believes – and I now do too – that there are many people who are starseeds emerging in the world and who may not even realise it.  It’s a fascinating and rich conversation that may just open you up to a whole new dimension beyond this world – and even beyond that as well.

It’s likely that you have heard the word seer, but maybe like me, you are not sure exactly what one is or does.  Tracy Neely, my guest on The Priestess Podcast today identifies as many extraordinary things and a seer is one of them.  This special gift has been with Tracy since childhood but didn’t truly come forth in her life and work until a health crisis unfolded in – of all places – her dentists chair.  That moment and experience changed Tracy’s life, opening her up to her own seer wisdom. She shares her journey to this space with us and also how you can begin to access your own powerful healing questions, inner world, and love of silence, to support you to ignite your own seer wisdom.

There are so many ways we can more deeply connect with our spiritual selves - and rituals are one of those. You may just think that a ritual is something witchy and involves really complex mantras or crystal grids or various other spiritual accoutrements – but truly, rituals don’t have to involve any of those things at all if we don’t want them to.  My beautiful guest on The Priestess Podcast today – Alexandra Roxo – is passionate about the power of everyday rituals in our life and in particular how they can help us with our own healing. Rituals can be small or big, short or long and involve lots of beautiful tools or none at all. This episode will inspire you to find sacred meaning in so many things that you may already be doing in your life – and can further create as well.

I am thrilled today to have on The Priestess Podcast Leesa Renee Hall who I consider to be an incredible guide and mentor to me in my life right now.  Leesa is a creative word artist and social historian with a passion for helping people unpack their internal biases – especially whiteness – and show up in the world as more compassionate and whole human beings.  Today Leesa and I discuss a shared passion around ancestry and our cultural lineages and why these are so important on our spiritual journeys, especially in efforts not to appropriate other cultures and spiritual practices, and truly ground ourselves in our own rich heritage.  Learning who you truly are and where you truly come from requires you to go beyond the grave and I hope my conversation with Leesa today inspires you to do just that.
