Uncovering Mary Magdalene: From Misunderstood to Remembered

In this first episode of a new chapter in The Wilde Rose podcast, I explore the many layers of Mary Magdalene’s story through scripture, suppressed texts, legend, and my twenty plus year exploration of her story.  There are many claims and versions of what happened to Mary Magdalene after the resurrection. While they all cannot be fact, each one holds some frequency that draws us in, individually. Providing a place to begin our remembering through her as the archetypal of the feminine. If you’ve felt the call to go deeper into Magdalene, the feminine, or the stories beneath the story this episode will provide the clues and threads as to where the legends and stories come from. Here’s what I explore: * Why the “prostitute” label stuck, and when. Plus how the church quietly reversed the label in the last 50 years.  * What the early councils really decided (and didn’t). * The truth about the Gnostic gospels and when they were discovered. * Magdalene as frequency, not just figure. * What I felt sitting in the cave at Sainte-Baume.

Trusting the Flow and Coming Back to Sharing

Kim delves into the evolution of her business, Purple Rose and Co., and her personal journey of self-discovery. She emphasizes that growth is not just an outward expansion but also an inward journey, where expansion and contraction work together.  Trusting oneself to speak and flow naturally is a key theme, as Kim believes the universe has a plan, and there's medicine in every experience.  She discusses the importance of recognizing and escaping personal traps, highlighting how judgment helps define personal values and experiences. Balancing feminine energy and returning to simplicity are crucial aspects of her philosophy.   Kim underscores the significance of accountability and self-awareness in both personal and professional growth, encouraging listeners to embrace these principles for a fulfilling life journey.

Bonus: Making Sense of the World Part 1: Grief Faith and the Human Journey

In this opening conversation, Kim Reed, Erica Cordeiro, and Heather Coroccio reflect on the passing of Charlie Kirk through a lens that seeks connection rather than further division. Together they explore how moments of collective tragedy stir deep questions of faith, community, and the soul’s journey. Themes of self actualization, soul contracts, and the quiet power of thought and manifestation weave through their dialogue, offering listeners a perspective that honors both grief and growth. Part 1 invites us to consider healing as a shared human experience, one that calls for personal responsibility, compassion, and an openness to the mystery of life.  * The importance of reconnecting and reflecting on personal growth. * Navigating grief requires vulnerability and open conversation. * Spiritual perspectives can provide comfort during difficult times. * Tragedy can catalyze collective consciousness and awareness. * Faith and belief systems shape our understanding of life events. * Soul contracts may guide our experiences and lessons in life. * Manifestation is about aligning with desired feelings and outcomes. * Our thoughts and energy create our reality. * Life serves as a mirror reflecting our inner state. * Healing is a journey that requires self-awareness and compassion.
