    The Messy Middle: How to Cope When Life Is on Hold and Nothing Is Certain

    What happens when you've made the decision, done the work, and the relief just... doesn't come? In this solo episode, Eileen gets honest about where she's at: her house is listed but unsold, her plans are on hold, and she's been sitting in a prolonged stretch of uncertainty that has quietly taken a toll on her creativity, her energy, and her ability to show up the way she usually does. Rather than pretending it's fine, she's naming it and offering a reframe that might be exactly what you need if you're in your own version of the messy middle right now. Drawing on her years of experience as a midwife, Eileen shares a birth metaphor that captures the particular difficulty of this limbo state, and gently but honestly explores what it means to give yourself grace when your nervous system is under a stress you've been telling yourself isn't a big deal. In this episode: The Wild Roses Women's Festival and what a thousand women considering each other looks like in practiceWhat matriarchy actually means and what it isn'tThe "epidural metaphor": why making a decision and not getting the relief on your desired timeline is its own specific kind of hardWhy our brains will always choose the known hell over the unknown heavenHow prolonged uncertainty impacts the nervous system, creativity, and daily capacity, even when you tell yourself it shouldn'tThe difference between spiritual bypassing and genuinely trusting the process while also acknowledging that something is hardThe shift from "I have to" to "I get to" and why it isn't toxic positivity when you do it honestlyPermission to have reduced capacity and to stop beating yourself up for it"Certainty is a myth, but really not being able to make a plan impacts all of the parts of your life, even if you try to tell yourself it's not a big deal."

    How to Trust Your Intuition: Spiritual Awakening, Self-Trust & the Signal with Kelsey Anderson

    What if your intuition has been speaking all along, and the real work is simply learning to trust it? In this episode, Eileen sits down with Kelsey Anderson, an energy intuitive, author, and host of The Reclamation Podcast, whose path from corporate burnout to embodied spiritual practice mirrors so many of the journeys explored on this show. Kelsey's work through her community Reclamation Rising centers one core truth: the answers you're seeking outside of yourself were always within you. This conversation moves through postpartum awakening, the dangers of spiritual bypassing, the leap from corporate life, and what it actually means to come home to your body rather than escape it. In this episode: How Kelsey's body broke down in her mid-20s and launched her into spirituality out of sheer necessityThe good girl conditioning and masking that kept her performing rather than trustingWhy a true spiritual awakening is a homecoming to the body, not an escape from itPostpartum as a portal: how motherhood cracked open Kelsey's relationship with self-trust and interdependenceThe difference between strong and independent versus strong and interdependentIntuition as a threat to control: why women in their intuitive power become far less controllableLeaving corporate: how Kelsey went from two incomes to one, downsized everything, and built her work over seven yearsWhat to do if you want to live more intuitively but don't want to leave your corporate jobHow Kelsey's new book The Signal: Listen to Your Intuition Through the Noise of Modern Life arrived in five days of channeled writing she couldn't stop "When I trusted my inner voice, it was little pings, little whispers. Simple in the moment, but when you add them all up, it's compiled into your overall wellbeing."

    Lughnasadh, the Celtic Harvest Festival & Why You Need to Celebrate How Far You've Come

    When did you last stop long enough to enjoy the fruits of your labour? In this solo episode, Eileen explores Lughnasadh, the ancient Celtic harvest festival, and the invitation it carries for our modern lives: to pause, look back, and actually celebrate how far we've come. Drawing on the mythology of the god Lugh and his foster mother Tailtiu, and the lens of Elise Loehnen's On Our Best Behavior: The Seven Deadly Sins and the Price Women Pay to Be Good, this episode looks honestly at why celebrating ourselves can feel dangerous, and what it might mean to finally let ourselves savour what we've accomplished.In this episode: -What Lughnasadh is, why it matters, and how to think about timing (August 1st, August 7th solar midpoint, or August 12th lunar — and why all of them work) -The three harvest festivals of the Wheel of the Year and how Lughnasadh sits as the first and most celebratory -The history of Lughnasadh as a season of fairs, markets, games, and community gathering and why it held its traditions longer than almost any other point on the wheel -The mythology of Tailtiu: who she was, what she sacrificed, and what Lugh's games in her honor ask of us today -Why rushing past our achievements without celebrating them is a form of disrespect, both to ourselves and to those whose sacrifices made it possible -Pride as a "sin" and how that conditioning keeps women especially from claiming what they've built -Sloth as a "sin" and the fear underneath it: if I slow down, I might not start again -A practical invitation to look back at the last six months and name what you've actually grown "She worked herself to death so that we don't have to. To honor her, I think we should be enjoying... the fruits of our labours" Join me for the next Wheel of the Year Ceremony Subscribe to Eileen on Substack Take the Which Witch Are You Quiz Order Awaken to the Magic Within  Connect with Eileen on Instagram  Follow Eileen on Insight Timer  Send Eileen an email

    Waking Up the Witch: Building Community, Authentic Spirituality & the Village We're All Craving

    What if the most revolutionary thing you can do right now is introduce yourself to your neighbor and ask to borrow some salt? In this episode, Eileen is joined by Amber and Taylar, co-hosts of the Waking Up the Witch podcast — a storytelling show exploring life, death, religion, spirituality, sex, magic, and everything in between. Amber owns Moon Be's Wellness, a witchy brick-and-mortar boutique in southern Oregon, and is a Reiki master and psychic gifts teacher. Taylar is a hairstylist, community connector, and self-described magic-maker who believes her gift is helping people see their own power. Together they also run Moonlight and Magic, an events company bringing witchy community together in person. This conversation wanders beautifully through spiritual origin stories, the return of village culture, what manifestation actually means when you strip away the toxic positivity, and why authenticity might be the most powerful thing any of us can offer the collective right now. In this episode: -Amber's origin story: a Wiccan mom, healing oils made from kitchen spices as a child, Reiki, and the psychic gifts she once thought were a curse -Taylar's path: Catholic kindergarten, The Secret, a psychic hairstylist, too much wine, one shared microphone, and a podcast born from pure curiosity -Why the witch wound still shows up in how we hide ourselves, even from the people closest to us -The difference between fitting in and authentic belonging, and how living authentically is what plugs you into the collective circuit board -Why the law of attraction falls short without community, action, and reckoning with systemic harm -Victory Gardens, borrowing cups of sugar, and why the village is both the antidote and the answer -The healing that can only happen in relationship, not in solo inner work -Asking for help as a radical act, especially for women conditioned to never be a burden -Why spirituality doesn't have to be serious: it can be lipstick at the grocery store, a bird outside your window, or dancing at the gay club on Saturday "Get comfortable being uncomfortable. That's what leads you to the parts you're supposed to be in this world, in your community, in the revolution." — Amber "Spirituality can be silly and playful and messy. It's really just asking you to be present." — Taylar Connect with Amber and Taylar on Instagram Check out the Waking Up the Witch Patreon community Join me for the next Wheel of the Year Ceremony Subscribe to Eileen on Substack Take the Which Witch Are You Quiz Order Awaken to the Magic Within Connect with Eileen on Instagram  Follow Eileen on Insight Timer  Send Eileen an email

    From Self-Hatred to Self-Love: Healing Body Image, Addiction & Disordered Eating with Whitney Walker

    What happens when the thing you think will finally make you lovable, the right look, the right body, the right approval, never actually arrives? In this episode, Eileen has a conversation with Whitney Walker, licensed marriage and family therapist, recovery coach, and host of the Women Waken podcast. Whitney specializes in addiction, eating disorders, trauma, and spirituality, and she doesn't shy away from her own story: severe bullying, a debilitating eating disorder, addiction, and a self-worth built entirely on external validation that nearly broke her in her early twenties. This conversation traces Whitney's path from that rock bottom to recovery, sobriety, and a spiritual awakening rooted in self-love, and widens out into a larger conversation about the return of the divine feminine, sovereignty, and what a more conscious, balanced society could look like. In this episode: -Whitney's years of disordered eating, addiction, and the belief that being attractive was the only path to being loved -The therapist who first asked her, "Isn't there more to you than your appearance?" -The book and quote that cracked something open: "Trying to love yourself from the outside in is a doomed prospect" -Why getting sober and healing her relationship with food opened the door to a spiritual path -A trip to the UK that connected Whitney to her Scottish, English, and Irish ancestry, and the calling that followed: bring women together -The difference between conscious and unconscious masculine and feminine energy -Sovereignty as the most powerful tool available to any human right now -Why systems built on greed and exploitation are inherently unstable, and what might take their place -The role of truth and transparency in personal and collective healing "The greatest wisdom you can ever find is within you. You are your own greatest source of wisdom." — Whitney Walker Whitney's Website: Www.Womenwaken.com Find Witney's Podcast on Apple or Spotify Subscribe to Witney's Youtube channel Connect with Witney on Instagram Follow Whitney on Facebook Join Whitney on LinkedIn Join me for the next Wheel of the Year Ceremony Subscribe to Eileen on Substack Take the Which Witch Are You Quiz Order Awaken to the Magic Within  Connect with Eileen on Instagram  Follow Eileen on Insight Timer  Send Eileen an email

    Why You Don't Feel Like You Belong Anywhere (And How to Change That)

    "I don't belong anywhere." If you've ever felt this way, even in a space that felt safe and welcoming, this episode is for you. In this solo episode, Eileen explores why so many women feel like outsiders even in rooms full of people who love them, and unpacks the crucial difference between fitting in and true belonging. Drawing from a recurring pattern she's witnessed inside the Wise Wild Woman Mentorship, and from her own lifelong relationship with this exact wound, Eileen breaks down why belonging has to start as an inside job, and why vulnerability, as uncomfortable as it is, is the only real path there. In this episode: The difference between fitting in (which requires shrinking) and belonging (which requires showing up)The two reasons "nobody understands me" often feels true, and what to do about each oneWhy self-knowledge and self-acceptance have to come before belonging to othersThe question most of us have never asked ourselves: what do I actually want, outside of what's expected of me?Why vulnerability never stops feeling vulnerable, and what we're actually building when we practice itDiscernment in vulnerability: why it matters who you open up to, and how to ask if someone has capacityThe fear of being "a burden," and why that fear so often keeps us from the connection we're cravingHow practicing vulnerability gives other people permission to do the same"In order to belong, we must feel understood. And in order to be understood, we must be willing to show up and share ourselves."

    Decolonizing Spirituality, Sacred Sound & Building Communities of Care with Stephanie Keiko Kong

    What if the most radical spiritual act available to you right now is saying hello to your neighbor? In this episode, Eileen is joined by Stephanie Keiko Kong — public speaking and digital marketing strategy coach, theater artist, yoga therapist, and community weaver whose practice centers BIPOC, femme, and queer thought leaders. Growing up in Hawaii with a deep land-based relationship to the natural world, Stephanie brings a perspective on spirituality that is at once ancient, practical, and quietly revolutionary. This conversation wanders beautifully in ways that will light up your mind and body. From Sanskrit mantra and self-hypnosis to the psychedelic power of group singing, from the colonization of our bodies to the radical simplicity of hyper-local community care. It's one to sit with and return to. In this episode: Growing up in Hawaii with a land-based spiritual practice and the heartbreak of realizing not everyone lives this wayThe divine mundane: how a cup of tea, a Beyonce song, or a slice of bread can be a portal to the sacredYears of dedicated Sanskrit mantra study and the humbling moment of realizing she'd been missing the whole pointThe "transcendence bias" hiding inside Western interpretations of Eastern spiritual traditionsSelf-hypnosis, group singing, and drumming at 147 BPM... a few of the many doorways into non-ordinary states of realityWhy plant medicine is compelling for so many Westerners, and what it offers that hasn't yet been colonized"Severance from land is empire's first consent violation" — a teaching from Ihilani Cho that reframes everythingThe magic of hyper-local community care and why change at that scale is both simple and inevitableCuriosity as a revolutionary practice, a spiritual foundation, and the prerequisite for genuine compassionPlaying Hamlet as the Hawaii Shakespeare Festival's first ever non-binary Hamlet, and what that meant for the queer arts community in Honolulu "Thank you for staying curious in a world that would rather have you smile and nod and shut up." — Stephanie Keiko Kong Find Stephanie on Instagram Sign up for Stephanie's email list at her website  Check out Stephanie's upcoming program Liberatory Leadership beginning in late July Join me for the next Wheel of the Year Ceremony Subscribe to Eileen on Substack Take the Which Witch Are You Quiz Order Awaken to the Magic Within Connect with Eileen on Instagram  Follow Eileen on Insight Timer  Send Eileen an email
