Spiritual Midwife

77 The Ugly Duckling (Eps. 6 in the series of Women Who Run With the Wolves)

In this episode of Spiritual Midwife, we journey deep into the story of The Ugly Duckling, reframing it not as a children's tale but as a potent metaphor for soul exile and the journey back to authentic belonging. Through sacred storytelling, deep reflection, and embodied practice, we explore what it means to be outcast from the inner truth of who we are and how to return to the Wild Self — the fully remembered soul self that knows it has always belonged. We unpack the archetypes of the outsider, the spiritual wanderer, and the wild one who sees their reflection in kindred swans after a lifetime of feeling “other.” Through practical tools such as mirror work, somatic inquiry, creative expression, and nature communion, this episode offers a transformational path to reclaiming the parts of ourselves we’ve hidden, rejected, or disowned to survive in a world that asked us to be less. This episode welcomes both women and men into the universal soul-journey of returning home to self. We explore how exile has shaped our identity, how belonging begins within, and how recognising our spiritual kin awakens the remembering of our own divine essence. If you’ve ever felt like you don’t fit, if you’ve masked your light to be loved, if you’re ready to come home to the truth of who you are — this is your soul’s invitation.

You’ll also learn how the wild feminine and masculine can work together in sacred balance, guarding the soul from further fragmentation while restoring embodied wisdom.

75 Reclaiming Deep Worth (Eps. 4 in the series inspired by Women Who Run With the Wolves)

In this powerful episode of Spiritual Midwife, we journey deep into the sacred act of remembering our inherent worth. Inspired by Clarissa Pinkola Estés’ transformative work Women Who Run With the Wolves, Episode 4 invites you to meet the forgotten self — the dismembered, abandoned aspects of your soul that were cast aside through shame, perfectionism, and the conditioning of unworthiness. We explore the potent myth of Skeleton Woman, examine how cultural values strip us of inner value, and reconnect with our inner child to begin the process of resurrection and reclamation. Through storytelling, ritual, and practical self-inquiry, this episode offers a profound path to re-anchoring your value from the inside out. Whether you’re identifying with the feminine or masculine, this episode acknowledges and honours the sacred inner union — the return to wholeness through worth. You’ll leave with powerful actions, practices, and rituals to help you walk in the world as someone who remembers: “I am enough.” ✨ And if you're ready to go deeper in your soul work, the Soul Sovereignty Program is now open — a year-long 1:1 journey designed to help you reconnect with your truth, reclaim your voice, and live from the seat of your sovereign self.

74 Reclaiming Creative Fire and Healthy Aggression (Eps. 3 Running With the Wild Woman Series)

In this potent third episode of the Running With the Wild Woman series, we journey into the fierce, untamed expression of the feminine psyche — the part of us that burns with truth, sets boundaries with fire, and channels creativity from the soul’s deepest chambers. Drawing from the medicine of Women Who Run With the Wolves by Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estés, we explore the stories, symbols, and inner landscapes of healthy aggression, sacred rage, and creative potency. These often-repressed forces are vital for personal sovereignty, especially in a world that conditions us to shrink, silence ourselves, or seek external validation. We'll also touch on the myths of Baba Yaga and Vasalisa the Wise, understanding how they mirror the journey of reclaiming intuition and inner strength — not just for women, but for all who are on the sacred path of healing and wholeness. Though this series speaks to the feminine current, we honour that we each hold both feminine and masculine energies, and healing requires integration, not polarisation. 💡 In this episode, you’ll receive: * A deeper understanding of why your inner fire matters * Tools to distinguish between wounded aggression and healthy boundaries * Reflections to identify where you’ve dimmed your creative force * Rituals to awaken, express, and integrate this fierce energy into daily life * Guided prompts for journaling and self-inquiry * An invitation to live from your wild, creative centre — unapologetically 🌱 Plus, discover how the Soul Sovereignty 1:1 Programme can support your personal journey in awakening the creative, intuitive, and instinctual Self over a full year of deep transformation.

Awakening the Inner Knowing and Returning to the Deep Instinctual Self... In this deep and expansive episode of  Spiritual Midwife, we continue our journey through Women Who Run With the Wolves by Dr Clarissa Pinkola Estés. This time, we step into the archetype of She Who Knows — the wild, instinctual, intuitive self that lives within us all.
