    Podcast 65: The Little Death - Navigating Menopause

    Menopause is not a moment. It’s a season. For many of us, it’s a long one. In today’s episode, we talk about the emotions that can show up when fertility ends, how family dynamics can shift, and why empathy for yourself is not optional. We also share tools that helped us through the changes, from simple supports to bigger interventions, plus resources you can use right away.

    Wisdom Wednesday Long Form: From War to Weaving: Living the Shift to the Violet Ray

    The world feels locked in the red ray—force, threat, intimidation. Our mentor, Oh Shinnáh, taught that a shift is underway toward the violet ray—compassion, balance, repair. The goal isn’t to erase strength. It is to transmute it. In this week’s Wisdom Wednesday we name the teaching, honor the line of wild, wise women who kept it alive—from Hildegard to Mary Magdalene—and offer four practices you can start now: forgive, self-reflect, speak to restore, add a simple ritual. From war to weaving. Start today. Full episode on the red vs. violet rays is coming—stay tuned.
