Archetypos Podcast Archetypos Podcast by Celestyna Brozek Wild

I was so excited for this convo and I listened again while I produced this podcast - it’s sooo good, and a life-changing listen for teens, parents, and all people! Can’t wait to hear what you think!



Lena McCain is the Founder of Interfaith Bridge Counseling, where she continues her support as the Clinical Director. She also holds a Master of Arts degree in Clinical Mental Health: Mindfulness-Based Transpersonal Counseling Psychology from Naropa University. Lena’s drive and passions lie in person-centered, liberation-based mental health, which she has spent the last 12 years studying with an emphasis on one’s exploration of personal growth, community healing, and multicultural values. Lena’s expertise in these areas and the therapeutic field acts as a reminder to our community, teens, and young adults that they are not alone in their experience of life. Lena spends most of her time working alongside other individuals and organizations, helping to foster brave spaces for more transformative, connected experiences. Lena lives in Denver, Colorado with her partner, Brandon. They have two Shar Peis named Yia Yia and Bao, and one Terrier Mix named Mimosa.



In this episode we discuss: 


why Lena includes financial literacy support in all her counseling


“talking about money in a casual & honoring way”


identity mapping + financial identity + parts mapping + financial values


“we need money, we need values around money, we need conversation around money”


Lena shares young Lena’s financial identity + values + goals


“money is tied to EVERYTHING”


the importance of brave spaces for self growth + implementing/integrating therapy


difference between safe spaces and brave spaces


why group therapy is so important


“we’re only taught how to build relationships out of circumstance or convenience”


experiences/examples of corrective experiences with money, doing money work in brave spaces


“self harm is synonymous with survival behavior”


the magic of relationship in making + accomplishing goals


pragmatic advice for financial hygiene


advice for parents around how to teach kids about money


“it’s ok to get dysregulated around money - and then model how you’re going to manage that.”


A 3 step framework around money healing


“do we feel good in the life that we have? a huge part of that is our relationship with money”


“finances can be fun, if we can tap into where money can be fun, we have a greater chance of modeling healthy money relationships”


ideas for fun family money activities


the radical idea of family money time

In this episode I am so excited to talk with Erin and Mike of Pomegranate Coaching and Mediation. We touch on:

~how the "zipdrive of shame" and "the backpack of trauma" influence relational challenges

~anything can be weaponized in relationship, even self growth

~pragmatic tools for moving through conflict and improving inter-personal communication

~requests instead of demands and one important thing to tweak when making requests

~what to do if you’re stuck in an unpreferred relational pattern personally

~how capitalism interferes with healthy relationships and what to do about it

~personal + client examples (Celestyna shares a personal example, Mike shares a client example)

~how developing relational skill in adult, romantic/platonic relationships also applies to parent-child relationships

~how to think about conflict so you’re not making each other the problem

~and more!

It's such a rich episode - run, don't walk!

In this episode I muse on:

~the medicine of the crescent lunar phase, persephone/the high priestess, normalizing + unshaming expansion + contraction cycles, especially with neurodiversity.

~contraction does not mean failure, conversely it is proof of expansion. 

~contraction is for rest, recovery, energetic recuperation,  and analysis, not for shame/self-doubt/quitting/permanent failure. 

~expansion/contraction is actually a more generative rhythm than baseline stability or linear progress. 

~cyclicality has its own stability and predictability even if it is more dynamic than something linear and stagnant. 

~with expansion/contraction it’s important to look for progress not in the short term, but over the long trajectory. 

~the high priestess/the persephone myth holds the energetic of the crescent moon. 

~the crescent moon is a mysterious liminal space between the 0/Fool and the 1/Magician. 

~the crescent moon has the energetic of pendulating between the safety of the womb and the risk of expanding identity

~the energetic of how the generator (HD) moves through life is a stair-step curve, very similar to the expansion/contraction rhythm. 

~ASD/PDA people (and many neurodiverse ppl) will naturally experience expansion/contraction cycles because of their unique nervous systems.

New offering: Beta Experiential Human Design Experience: https://celestynawild.com/worksheets-workshops/p/experiential-human-design-beta

What started out as Molly and I wanting to geek out and dig into T Swift’s latest album turned into an incredibly rich musing on love, relationships, what relationships do for us and to us, as well as how stories and storytelling can help with personal healing and wholeness.



Molly is one of my favorite people to talk to because of how rich, deep and insightful our convos always are, so don’t miss this one, even if the title or description isn’t tugging you - that’s on me and my copywriting, it is not a reflection of the not-to-be-missed deliciousness of this episode! 



"I got to know myself as a different person in that relationship." -M

"We can only mirror wholeness to the extent that we are whole & the other person is open to being whole." -C

"Take a story you’re telling yourself about something and challenge yourself to tell this story three different ways." -M

"In relationships, there is only initiation." -M

"You get to have a multiplicity of stories." -C/M

"In relationships especially, we need access to both the experiencing self and the witnessing self." -C/M
