Join me in this episode as we discuss the Priestess Path and how sacred the homecoming of self is with Elaine Doyle who underwent a drastic lifestyle change to bring her life into Divine balance.
A chance encounter during the Bealtaine season brought Elaine and I together, and I’m so grateful that we met because our paths of self-discovery and more importantly, self-re-discovery in becoming a priestess and following the path of a priestess have such similar energies. I resonate with so much of what Elaine shares in this episode.
Do you resonate with the Path of a Priestess?
Does it feel overwhelming when you think of changing your lifestyle, changing your perspective and profoundly healing from within?
Are you tired of a stressful career and an imbalance in your life?It can be overwhelming, and Elaine shares how when something in your life is misaligned in your life, it becomes a progress of stimulation toward the sacred. When you choose to step into your authenticity and walk in the path of a Priestess, your own unique journey, you are essentially signing up for a journey of coming home to your true self. A continued journey of remembrance of self, and this journey is not easy. But, when you’re on this path of a priestess, pilgrimage, you come face to face with parts of yourself, your shadow self, that you may have lost or forgotten about. Remembering your true self will activate levels of your soul that you have hidden, forgotten about, or suppressed.
In this episode, Elaine and I share how we were drawn to this path of the Priestess, and how we faced many challenges and blockages to eventually emerge in our own Divine truth. The answers of your soul reveal themselves as you follow this path, as you unveil the parts of yourself that may lay dormant, and when you’re ready they will activate within you.
Do you feel like you don’t know who you are?
We have all been there, and this episode will make you feel at home in the confusion! Sometimes, not knowing who you are, or why you are called to do what you feel so deeply within yourself, is the best place to be. Because once you open yourself up to this vulnerability, you open yourself up to the possibility of the Priestess Path, which leads to divine timing, trusting yourself, ancestral healing, listening to your womb, and listening to your body, mind, and spirit. Your spirit already knows what it needs, and when you enter the path of a Priestess, and you welcome spirit to lead you, you will find the authenticity and remembrance you’ve longed for.
If you are still figuring out your path of figuring out who you are and where you’re meant to be, you’re not alone. That is why Elaine and I have come together to speak about our journeys of remembrance and how we can share that light and wisdom with others. We are still continuing to grow, learn, and open ourselves up more and more to channel the energy and power of Source.
Listen to this episode to hear the real-life experience of the Priestess path, and how you can incorporate balance, healing, and sacredness into your everyday practices.

Welcome to another episode where we discuss parenting reprogramming through healing. Today, I have the privilege of sitting down with Eli Harwood; the Attachment Nerd, a remarkable individual who speaks on different attachment styles and how to form secure attachments.
Eli's story began in a family marked by trauma, a history that propelled her into a profound personal transformation. At the tender age of nine, Eli witnessed her mother's decision to change her lifestyle, sparking a realization in Eli about the dramatic impact such a shift could have. Recognizing the need for change in her own life and in the lives of others, she embarked on a journey of self-discovery. She pursued her master's degree, delving into the intricate world of attachment theory, becoming captivated by the nuances of human connections and patterns.
In this episode, we explore the various attachment styles that define how we function as human beings. From the primal instinct of survival to the intricate dynamics of early bonds. Eli unpacks how comfort intertwines with our vulnerability, shaping our responses to the world around us. Crucially, she emphasizes the pivotal role caregivers play in our emotional development.
Our responses in life are deeply influenced by our caregivers' emotional regulation and their attachment styles. Eli sheds light on how these coping mechanisms are passed down through generations, forming the basis of our own attachment styles. Eli speaks on how important it is to have a space to feel seen, safe, secure, and regulated. When we don’t experience these spaces in our childhoods, there may be negative side effects that we can pass on to our children.
Eli passionately explains the importance of creating spaces where individuals can feel seen, safe, secure, and regulated. She highlights the profound impact these environments, or the lack thereof, have on our childhoods and then our adulthood. When these nurturing spaces are absent, negative effects can flow through generations, and it is vitally important to break these cycles both individually and collectively.
You can expect to be enlightened about the power of understanding attachment styles in the context of parenting. Eli emphasizes the possibility of reparenting ourselves by examining our attachment styles and their origins by looking at the patterns woven throughout our lives, patterns that can be unraveled through introspection and inner work. Throughout this entire episode she inspires hope, showing us that with dedication and self-reflection, we can shift, change, and transform these patterns, ultimately fostering healthier relationships with ourselves and others.But that's not all – Eli has an exciting announcement to share. Her upcoming book, "Securely Attached: Transform Your Attachment Patterns into Loving, Lasting Romantic Relationships," is a wealth of information and insights, offering practical tips and tricks to shift our attachment styles while healing the wounds left behind. This book isn't just for individuals seeking personal growth; it is also a valuable resource for therapists, coaches, and anyone passionate about fostering healing and transformation from within.
Grab a cuppa, get comfy, and be ready for a powerful conversation that delves into the heart of attachment theory, parenting, and the incredible capacity we all possess to rewrite the narratives of our lives. Stay tuned for Eli Harwood's wisdom, guiding us toward a more secure and fulfilling emotional future.

In this episode, I had the honor of speaking with Dr.Somer Nicole about how to heal the nervous system and she provides profound yet simple tools for self-regulation, reparenting, and protocols you can put in place to feel safe within your own space.
Do you feel chronically dysregulated?
Do you feel like you are reactive instead of responsive?
Beloved, we all have wounds that we are aware or unaware of, and on the path to healing, we often realize we need to reparent ourselves in order to regulate our emotions in a more functional and supportive way. Healing can feel like a painfully slow process, but it is possible to speed this process up and see the results in all aspects of your nervous system and life.
If you long to trust yourself again and want to hack your nervous system to be balanced, regulated, and supportive of your healing journey, then this episode is for you. Dr.Somer Nicole describes her journey from a Western science background into deep somatic healing. She’s spent the better part of seventeen years delving into alternative, natural and holistic forms of healing, which is where she started reparenting herself from her own inner abandonment wound and healing her inner child.
In the later years of learning about these different forms of healing, she went through a divorce that acted as a catalyst in many ways. She describes the emotional processes she went through during the divorce resulting in freeze responses and how she unlocked practices that help you unfreeze your nervous system. She explains the foundations of the polyvagal theory and how we can work with our social engagement system to self-regulate our nervous system.
What are the benefits of regulating your nervous system?
Improve sleep
Boosted digestion
Positive Responses in Relationships
Reduced anxiety
Enhanced focus
Pain management
And much more.
If you want to navigate your life from a place of safety instead of defense, then I invite you to listen to this episode and learn about the safe and sound protocol that Dr.Somer Nicole will not only explain but also offers it in her programs. She provides simple tools to self-regulate, activate your vagus nerve, discharge the necessary energy, and be consistent in the movement that your body craves.
Please have a look at Dr.Somer Nicole’s six-month program: Foundations of Healing: Reparenting, resilience and Reclamation of Power

In this episode, Karen Goldstein shares the Journey to Self through Ancestral Healing, a path where the magic shows up in the ordinary and lights up the present.
Karen, an Akashic messenger, felt the human experience in a heavy and heart-felt way, something that was difficult to cope with through the struggles. As she continued the exploration of self-healing and the expansion of consciousness, she opened up a new pathway. An opening that allowed her to shift her perspective on how beautiful and positive life can be.
As we transcend, transmute and transform our healing energies, we do the same to our beliefs and the structures these beliefs are built upon. As she began to lead herself and all of her inner world into healing, that pathway led her to her purpose.
She now works with the akashic records and deepened ancestral work. This type of work not only works on the surface level but also accesses the crux of our wounds, the challenges we face, and whatever pain we bring forward.Karen works with souls who might have suffered great heartache to those who struggle with health issues. The Akashic work she does heals emotional, physical, and spiritual wounds that have accumulated through our lineage and that we can end, heal and transmute.
Her intuition grew and expanded to curiosity between lineage and ancestors so much that Karen did a DNA test and made a huge discovery about her family’s past. This discovery not only brought freedom to be who she is but also closure to her soul’s lingering questions.
Listen to this episode to learn about Karen’s daily practices on how she’s been able to reset herself back into the present and allow true rest and reflection in her inner world.
Karen has beautiful free monthly gatherings for you to join in the love of the Akasha, you can find this group on Facebook, it’s called Cosmic Love Notes where you can come and be yourself. These circles include frequency attunement, alignment, and energetic health maintenance. It’s truly an honor to be blessed by Karen’s wisdom, don’t miss out on this amazing episode!

Let’s have a quick chat about how to practice self-compassion through life’s challenges, it’s not always easy to be there for yourself, to love yourself unconditionally, and be kind to yourself. This is an invitation to just pause, reflect, and realize that you are doing the best you can right now.
Beloveds, being there for yourself is of the utmost importance. We all go through seasons in life, some may be more challenging than others, and some may teach us lessons we desperately need to learn; but holding space for yourself during these times can affect your energy and how you work through these journeys.
When we practice unconditional self-love, and hold space for ourselves, we invite others to do the same and even in the areas where we feel a lack of support from others, we can still rely on a strong foundation of self-compassion and self-support.
The Importance of Self-Compassion is an article I wrote to give you a sense of WHY self-compassion is necessary and how you can implement that in your daily practices, I invite you to read it and ask yourself the following:
- How am I supporting myself?- How can I show myself more compassion daily?
- What is really hard right now? How can I acknowledge that?
Embracing yourself isn’t saying that everything is fine and you aren’t going to do the inner work, it is the act of saying that “I am enough” and “what I am doing is enough”, the stark difference is that you’re acknowledging all that’s affecting you from your environment to your past, to your inner child that might still need healing, but you’re accepting the fact that you are coping. The steps you are taking are enough and you can love yourself in the process of healing.
I don’t know about you, but I’ve found that we often love the idea of our destination but we forget to love our journey… loving each step because it is taking us closer to our future self. Showing yourself love, forgiveness, compassion, understanding, and kindness will allow your mind to soften around the self-criticism, the negativity we all are guilty of placing on ourselves.
You deserve to love yourself, practice self-compassion, and be kind to your heart, dear Divine Woman, you deserve to always give that love to yourself first.I invite you to listen to this episode as a meditation, a time for reflection, and a time to sit with yourself. Surround yourself with light and love, and give yourself the break that you’ve desperately needed. You are doing your best, and I am so proud of you!

In this episode, we’ll discuss the meaning and self-inquiry that takes place during Imbolc, this is a beautiful midway point between the Winter Solstice and the Spring Equinox. Let’s take a look at what this means.
Imbolc, meaning "in the belly", is a traditional Gaelic festival and marks the midway point between winter and spring. Mother Nature is preparing for a new life in the coming months. Seeds are nestled into their beds and are growing each day. Animals are growing their young in their wombs to deliver in spring.
In the past few months, we’ve gone into the depths, journeyed through the cave with Mother Bear and Grandmother Spider from the time of the Autumn Equinox, then deeper into our ancestry in Samhain and further descending into the Winter Solstice. Now, in Imbolc, we receive this promise of light, this gift of what the spring will hold and we can sustain ourselves with the slivers of sunrays it brings.
This is a time to retrieve our gifts from the darkness, a time to slowly reflect on what intentions we’ve planted, and which of those have been or are now manifesting in our lives. In this episode, we’ll go over intentional questions for soul inquiry, to review what we’ve experienced and undergone in the darkness and how we can bring that into the light of spring.I invite you to get comfy, Beloved, get a candle, and a warm cuppa, and seat yourself in a calm space that invites you to listen with intent and welcomes reflection as you hold your pen and paper. Write these questions down, pause the episode in between these questions, and answer with sincerity.
Imbolc invites us to meet our intentions and heal with action, slowly growing what we’ve planted and welcoming what we will reap soon. You may be looking at your self-care rituals, and how you can improve them, or perhaps you need to reflect on areas where you might still feel stagnant energy, and how you can let go of this and leave it in the darkness. Allow this time to give you inspiration, to clean the clutter from an emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual perspective. Align with what feels good and release what doesn’t.
Beloved, the intentions you have sown during Winter Solstice are taking root and will soon bud into their full beauty. You've come so far already in your journey and all you have set out to accomplish is taking shape just beneath the surface.
I invite you to listen to this episode as you prepare for Imbolc and allow yourself the space to feel good about what you’ve accomplished, and about what you have been able to heal and restore in the last few months. Be proud of your journey, Beloved. You’ve made it this far, and the Spring Equinox will start showing you just how far your journey has taken you! We’re almost in the light of the sun.

Beloved, in this episode I invite you to a 40-day self-love meditation challenge, we’ll call it a challenge but it’s really just a commitment to yourself.
Do you long to re-align with yourself this year?
Do you want to come home to yourself in 2023?
In order to align with yourself, your ideals, goals, and the life you truly want to live you need to be connected with yourself. What’s beautiful is that the journey of coming home to ourselves is the same as connecting with Spirit. The more we connect with Spirit, with Source, the more we are connected to ourselves.
This 40-day self-love meditation challenge will cultivate a space of love, appreciation, and compassion for yourself, value and appreciate yourself without judgment, and create a welcoming thought pattern whenever you think of yourself. This will allow you to create the love you deserve for yourself in this new year.Being compassionate toward yourself is vital, Beloved, it allows you to be kind to yourself, forgive yourself and be there for yourself in ways you’ve always longed for from others. Think of yourself as the starting point, if you already contain all the love for yourself, kindness and acceptance then you’ll spend a lot less time looking for validation from others. If you’d like to learn more about The Importance of Self-Compassion I invite you to read the blog post I have on it.

Beloved, this Activation Meditation for the Winter Solstice is about rebirth and takes place in New Grange, (Brú na Bóinne) which is one of the richest sacred sites in Ireland, and possibly the world. This is a powerful guided meditation to lead you through the darkness of the Winter Solstice and through to your rebirth into the light.
New Grange is a deeply spiritual, sacred site with potent magic and ancestral powers embedded in the soil, land, and energy. This meditation takes place in this vivid energy, to guide you through your consciousness, your inner guidance into your own darkness. It activates your inner awareness to welcome both inner and Divine guidance, so I invite you to keep a pen and paper close by throughout this practice.
In this Meditation, we look towards the seraphic connection of the Divine Feminine and Divine Masculine, our relationships with our yoni, our womb and directly connecting to Source. The connection between these points invites balance because we’re connected to our true form.Beloved, I invite you to create a nourishing and inviting space where you can be your authentic self, warm under a blanket or surrounded by candles; whatever cultivates a calm and nourishing environment for your soul. Allow yourself to connect with Goddess Cailleach and go into the darkness. You’re not alone and will be reborn into the light, activating your awareness, awakening, and inner wisdom.
Please note that this meditation is meant to bring your consciousness inward, leading you to a deep meditative state, and listening to this while driving or operating large machinery is NOT advised and can be extremely dangerous.

Beloved, in this episode I’ll guide you through my Top 5 Powerful Practices for the Winter Solstice, allowing yourself to truly go inward and commit to pausing, reflecting, and going inward, stepping fully into your Sovereign Self.
This is a time to listen to yourself, drawing inwards just like nature does when she sinks into the waters of winter. Because the Winter Solstice and the Holiday energies overlap, there’s a constant tug between rest and pausing in between the hustle and bustle. It’s vital to rejuvenate your soul through rest and reflection, listening to the Moon, the Yin energy that allows you to grieve what you need to, and practice self-compassion.
When you start living according to the seasons instead of society’s expectations you’ll notice how you can create healthy boundaries to avoid triggers, and the Winter Solstice is the perfect time to practice that—releasing, reflecting, and going inward while forgiving yourself for any self-inflicted guilt or trials you’ve experienced this year.
You can hold yourself with softness Goddess, allow yourself to follow the moon and permit yourself to go into the underworld, learning to love your inner shadow and remove the inner voice of negative criticism and slowly replace it with a neutral perspective on your actions, thoughts, and inner world.
If you want to learn how to do this Beloved, I invite you to listen to this episode and join me in the Divine Woman Awakening as we uncover the wisdom and ancient practices of the Winter Solstice and the other points on the Celtic Wheel. You belong here, this place exists in authenticity and self-love alone! -

What is Samhain? Samhain is a powerful point between the Autumn Equinox and the Winter Solstice when the veil is thin and we descend into the underworld. This is also the new year in the Celtic Wheel, which is an exciting time for us to truly dive into fresh perspective, a new sense of our grounded selves. Samhain invites us to reflect authentically and bathe in realizations, awakenings, and intentions. We’re going into the underworld to release our burdens, letting go of what’s holding us back, and entering winter with an energy of healing and restoration.
This is a powerful time for us to honor ourselves, our ancestors, and Source. We’re looking inward during this time to reflect on how we can nurture and nourish ourselves, how we can unite our light and shadow sides and release the shame that might be attached to these sides of our energy.
If you’re longing to reconnect with yourself, your ancestors, and your authentic energy then this podcast is for you. I would also like to invite you to the Monthly Gathering as we connect with our ancestors and powerful Goddesses such as Goddess Morrigan, Goddess Caileach, Goddess Danu, and more. The Goddesses are archetypes we can look up to, they intentionally guide us to step into our personal power.

Beloved, this episode is a MUST listen! Dr. Anita Johnston provides so much wisdom and clarity on the relationship we have with food, all found in her best-selling book: Eating in the light of the moon. Psychology taught Dr. Anita to be a listener, and from listening to women and combining multicultural myths, ancient legends, and folktales she teaches women how to discover and address the issues behind their negative attitudes toward food.
As women, goddesses of the earth, mothers, wives and sisters we often experience challenges with our weight, our bodies and more importantly our relationship with food. All of a sudden, food and nutrition has all of these negative connotations through our own comparisons and triggers that we focus solely on food as the problem. When the underlying issues can be avoidance of emotions, past traumas, abuse, and culprits of our inner worlds.In this episode Dr. Anita Johnston discusses how there are different forms of hunger, between the physical body’s hunger for nutrition and the soul’s hunger for activation, attention, sensations and more. She further guides us to what questions to ask in order to recognize the feelings we might not want to feel and therefore we suppress them through eating or avoiding food altogether.
Whether you’ve struggled with your relationship with food, bounced from diet to diet or you’re longing to be more connected to yourself while cultivating healthier eating habits, this episode is for you!

Healing the Inner Child is an integral part of one’s healing journey.
What is the inner child and what does it mean?Your inner child is the spontaneous, joyful, and playful piece of your personality that can be deeply affected by negative experiences. If something triggers a memory linked to a traumatic or adverse childhood experience, your inner child will respond accordingly. When the inner child isn’t healed and the inner work is suppressed, this can lead to substance abuse or negative habits.
How do I know I have a wounded inner child?
Your inner child could be the reason behind a rude comment or negative reaction– a lack of attention or a simple change in routine may have triggered them. Our unexpectedly childish reaction shouldn’t be so quickly dismissed. It might have nothing to do with the moment you’re in, but it might be a wound you’ve frozen or suppressed.
We need to fully recognize this manifestation and discover the ‘whys’ behind it. It is essential to acknowledge the inner child living within us. It is time to live life with them rather than work around them.
In this episode, I’ll run through examples of what this could look like in your life and practices that you can use and flow with to start the healing process. I’ll also explain how you use your voice with a beautiful vulnerability. It’s important to give your inner child a voice, drawing healthy boundaries in your relationships.

Beloved, healing is a journey, the inner work can be done but it’s not the destination. It’s important to remind ourselves that we’re not bad, broken, or reverting if we’re in this process of healing. It requires us to take a step in the direction of wholeness each day.
Have you felt triggered by something that you thought wouldn’t bother you?
Something you thought you had worked through?
You’re not alone Beloved. We simply can’t live in an illusion where bliss is permanently engraved in our energy, there will be times when we need to practice self-compassion vigorously. Self-compassion is so important as it connects us to this part of ourselves, the Sacred Woman. The Sacred Woman comes from a place of connection, connection to her heart, soul, spirit, the land, Source, and most of all, compassion.
If we can move away from negative patterns we can free ourselves from past traumas that are still active in our thoughts today. We can heal. 98% of our thoughts will be the same the next day unless we reprogram our mindset and we change the patterns. A lot of the thoughts we have, aren’t true, especially about ourselves. Once we let go of those untruths and receive the compassion we’ve deserved, that’s when we can heal sustainably.
Processing the thoughts, emotions, and feelings we have and reflecting on them allows us to move forward the next day, without pushing them down and forcing our brains to create negative habits from them.
If you have trauma, hurt, grief, loss, and anger inside but you want to thrive, this episode will give you the tools to merge with your healing process sustainably, without feeling like every two steps forward is ten steps back.
