Ep 39: Discover Your Love Touchstone

Ep 43: Beyond the Gold: Awakening Your Philosopher's Stone

What if healing the past was never the final destination? In this special birthday episode, Catherine invites you to go beyond the gold, into the most mysterious and luminous stage of the alchemical journey: the Philosopher's Stone. You've done the work. You've transformed the lead. But something in you knows there's more. A deeper calling. A bigger expansion. Something beckoning from the other side of who you've already become. The Philosopher's Stone isn't about healing. It's about embodiment. It's the moment the alchemical process stops being something you do and becomes something you are … radiating outward, touching everything around you, without effort, from pure being. Catherine shares her own journey into this threshold space and offers you a powerful mantra to begin answering its call. - - -  If your Philosopher's Stone is calling, and you want to take that journey with a guide who knows the terrain, get in touch with me at catherine@catherinemaguire.com [catherine@catherinemaguire.com] and we'll have a cup of tea on Zoom and I'll tell you everything you need to know.

Ep 42: Could You Let Go of Control and Trust Something Bigger?

You've been on this journey for a while now. You've done the inner work and life is better, but yet there's still something calling you forward, something that feels slightly out of reach. What if the next step isn't about doing more, but about stepping into a completely different relationship with life itself? This week on the Soul Alchemist Podcast, Catherine Maguire invites you to move from the known, through the unknown, and into the unknowable.  The vast, intelligent mystery that nature herself operates from. Did you know that a single leaf is a solar panel that is 100% efficient, creates zero waste, and composts itself back into the earth when its time is done? Scientists cannot replicate it. And yet that intelligence is available to us, if we're willing to trust it. That's where we're going this week. Beyond control, into trust. Into flow. Into allowing something bigger and wiser than our thinking minds to move through us and guide us home.

Ep 41: More Isn't Greedy. It's Your Soul Calling

Most of us were taught, one way or another, that wanting more was something to keep quiet about. That it was greedy. Selfish. Ungrateful. So we learned to make do, to be grateful, to stop asking. But what if that belief was never yours to begin with? In this episode of the Soul Alchemist Podcast, Catherine Maguire unpacks our complicated relationship with more.  Where it comes from, what it costs us, and why that quiet longing you can't quite shake isn't a character flaw. It's your soul asking you to grow into the fullness of who you actually are. Because there's a difference between the more that comes from not feeling enough.  It’s brittle, exhausting, never satisfied.  It depletes you. But the more that comes from your soul helps you to bloom. If you've done the inner work and something is still calling you forward, this episode is for you. What’s your relationship with more? I’d love to know.

Ep 40: When the Wisdom Becomes the Wound

There are beliefs we carry that once kept us safe, helped us belong, and made complete sense at the time. But what happens when that wisdom quietly becomes the very thing keeping you stuck? In this week's episode, Catherine shares a personal story from a recent trip home to Ireland, and the moment she realised that her mum’s wisdom had stopped being a gift, and had started become a cage.   If you're living a full life on the outside but sensing something is holding you back from within, this episode is your invitation to look honestly at the wisdom you've outgrown. You'll be guided to identify where an old belief has calcified into a wound, invited to release it with gratitude, and consciously explore what new seeds you want to sow instead.   I'd love to hear from you, what was the wisdom that became the wound?  And what new seeds are you sowing in its place? Leave a comment and let me know.  And if you feel that this episode could help a friend, please do share it with them. Let's spread the alchemy.

Ep 39: Discover Your Love Touchstone

What if love isn't something ‘out there’, but something you can access right now, in the middle of the chaos of an ordinary day?   In this episode, Catherine Maguire shares a moment from her travels that reminded her of one of the most powerful tools we have available to us - love. Not the complicated, conditional kind, but the real thing. The kind that softens your shoulders, puts a smile on your face and ripples out into the world around you.   Catherine introduces the idea of your love touchstone - a simple, personal anchor that connects you instantly to the feeling of love, and invites you to find yours. She also shares some gentle love experiments to try in your everyday life.   Try a love experiment this week and come back and tell me what happened. I genuinely want to know.  And if this episode spoke to you, please share it with someone in your life who could do with remembering that they are love.
