    Discover your Word of the Year 2026

    What if one word could become your anchor, your teacher, and the energy that guides you throughout the year? I’m sharing a practice that has shaped my life for years: receiving a Word of the Year as an anchor, guide, and invitation to accompany me over the course of a new year. It’s not a goal or a task - it’s a companion. A north star that knows something about you that you’re still growing toward. Join me for a ceremony to discover and claim your word of the year. Let’s go on a powerful journey to find the word that wants to accompany you (and teach, guide, and inspire you) throughout the coming year. ** If you want to take this work deeper, join The Intrepid Soul Collective on Patreon where you’ll find companion content for this episode.

    Best of Season One

    As we close out Season One of the Intrepid Soul Podcast, this week’s episode is something a little different.  Instead of one conversation, we’re returning to the moments that stayed with us, made us exhale, helped us feel less alone, or reminded us what it means to be human. This is a compilation of the most resonant clips from the first season. You’ll hear pieces of conversations about grief, purpose, healing, embodiment, intuition, writing, sovereignty, rest, and the ordinary spiritual work of being alive. Thank you for listening, for sharing these conversations, and for being part of this space. It’s been a joy! I can’t wait to be back in the Spring for Season Two! ** If you want to take this work deeper, join The Intrepid Soul Collective on Patreon where you’ll find companion content for this episode.

    Stillness, Sovereignty & The Winter Solstice

    What does it mean to belong to yourself especially in a season that asks you to slow down? Let’s talk about the deeper meaning of sovereignty and why winter is not a season to push through, but a season to listen, rest, and reclaim your energy. This episode is for anyone feeling stretched thin, disconnected from themselves, or quietly craving permission to rest, reset, and belong to themselves again. In this episode, you’ll hear: What sovereignty truly means (and what it doesn’t) Why winter is a natural season for withdrawal, reflection, and restoration How to recognize where you’re giving away energy that belongs to you The responsibility (and relief) of choosing self-care without guilt ** If you want to take this work deeper, join The Intrepid Soul Collective on Patreon where you’ll find companion content for this episode.

    Journeying with the Soul: Staying Close to the Soul During Hard Times with Hannah Anderson (Conversation #2)

    What if the seasons that unsettle you are also the ones shaping you most? I’m joined again by my friend Hannah Anderson - artist, coach, and guide - for a grounded conversation about change, acceptance, and the quiet transformations that shape us over time. This is a conversation about leaning into what’s unfolding, especially when it feels uncomfortable or uncertain. In this episode, you’ll hear: Why seasons of change are unavoidable in a human life How acceptance can shift us from resistance into empowerment What it means to lean into difficulty instead of fighting it Why growth so often emerges from discomfort How challenges can become invitations for deeper transformation Connect with Hannah Anderson: Instagram → @artistbetweenworlds Coaching → ⁠www.goldenthreadcoaching.com⁠ Art → ⁠www.artistbetweenworlds.com⁠ Email for contact → ⁠hannahgoldenthreadcoach@gmail.com⁠ ** If you want to take this work deeper, join The Intrepid Soul Collective on Patreon where you’ll find companion content for this episode.

    Soul Purpose & the Spiral Path

    Let's talk about soul purpose. Especially if your “purpose” has ever felt like something you needed to figure out, chase, or live up to… In this solo episode, I invite you into a deeper conversation about soul purpose - not as some sexy ego-driven headline, but as the lifelong journey of becoming who you truly are.  In this episode, you’ll hear: How transformation begins when old truths stop fitting How letting go of attachment to an outcome can often bring you back into alignment with your purpose What crises of faith actually reveal about your soul The difference between understanding something mentally and embodying it What it really means to live as a soul in a human body ** If you want to take this work deeper, join The Intrepid Soul Collective on Patreon where you’ll find companion content for this episode.

    Write to Heal with Johanna Hattendorf (Conversation #2)

    What if writing isn’t just something you do but a way to come home to yourself? I’m joined again by my dear friend Johanna Hattendorf — a poet, somatic healer, and trauma educator. In this episode, Johanna shares about writing as a sacred practice: as a way to move through trauma, reclaim your voice, and witness your truth on the page. We talk about writing without pressure - and what happens when we let words pour through us unedited, unfiltered, and alive. In this episode, you’ll hear: How writing can be a bridge between your body and your spirit The power of group writing as a collective healing space Why devotion (not perfection) is what carries us forward The magic of free writing (and letting the “bad writing” come too) How poetry opens us to beauty, truth, and deeper self-witnessing ** If you want to take this work deeper, join The Intrepid Soul Collective on Patreon where you’ll find companion content for this episode.

    When it’s Complicated: What do I do with a difficult relationship in death?

    Grief isn’t simple — especially when the relationship wasn’t either. In this solo episode, I respond to a listener question about what it means to grieve people with whom our relationships were unfinished, complex, or fraught. If you’ve ever felt tangled in grief — loving someone and resenting them all at once, or mourning what could have been, or even feeling relief at someone's passing — this episode will help you find self-compassion and grounding. In this episode, you’ll hear: Why telling the truth about your feelings is an act of healing How to navigate grief that’s layered with conflict or complexity You're in charge of your psychic space - and can set boundaries How acceptance becomes a form of empowerment Why healing is less about closure, and more about clarity ** If you want to take this work deeper, join The Intrepid Soul Collective on Patreon where you’ll find companion content for this episode.
