    Our Path to Matriarchal Living with Ellee Best and Brittany Loeser

    What does it look like to build a life rooted in stewardship instead of ownership? In this episode, we share the evolution of our platonic life partnership, from navigating spiritual awakenings and the dissolution of our marriages to co-creating a new way of living, working, and building community together. We explore the messy, transformative work of self-ownership, authentic communication, rupture and repair, and why building a new world starts with the work we do within ourselves. We also share the vision behind The Patriarchy Purge and how we're creating new models for matriarchal living, collective care, and deeper connection. The future we're dreaming of isn't something we wait for. It's something we practice together.

    Why does this keep happening to me? Sovereignty, manipulation, and a portal to power

    In this episode, we explore the polarity between what we call “dark magic” and “light magic”—not in the occult sense, but as energetic forces rooted in unconscious taking vs. conscious giving.

You’ll hear real stories, practical reframes, and spiritual insight on how to patch your leaky bucket, release shame, and show up in your fullness. This is soul alchemy in action.

    You Woke Up at Camp Earth. Now What?

    In this episode, we dive into what it means to wake up—the moment your soul's alarm goes off and you're suddenly lucid in the dream of life. We explore how this awakening can come in a flash or unfold gradually, and how we all signed up for different roles at Camp Earth. We talk about the guides and “camp counselors” who show up along the way, the red flags of energy vampirism, and the power of becoming a self-contained, sovereign being. If you’ve ever wondered why you feel pulled to certain people, places, or memories—or questioned your sanity when magic called your name—this one’s for you. Let’s walk together, flashlight in hand, remembering that every person is a teacher and every moment is a lesson. 1:34 — The Soul Alarm Analogy 3:50 — Ellee’s First Wake-Up Call (Pocahontas & Grief) 7:05 — Brittany’s Lucid Dream & Barbie Story 14:08 — Waking Up Gradually vs. All at Once 15:46 — Remembering Magic Is Real 18:24 — The Camp Counselor Metaphor 23:04 — Art as a Map for Awakening 27:30 — Discernment: Energy Vampires vs. Camp Counselors 30:20 — Becoming a Self-Contained Channel 36:25 — Intuition as a Safety Mechanism 39:04 — Meeting Familiar Souls Again 44:00 — Everyone’s a Teacher, Every Moment’s a Lesson Journal Prompts When did your soul's first alarm go off—and what changed in you afterward?Where are you currently giving your power away to others instead of trusting your own inner authorityWho in your life might be a “camp counselor”?

    Shadows, Shame, and the Self You Forgot

    In this soul-deep episode, we unpack the power of shadow work, the root of shame, and what it means to truly reclaim your inner authority. We talk about why our shadows form, how to illuminate them with compassion, and how shame is often what’s hiding behind self-abandonment, money wounds, patriarchal programming, and fear of judgment. We reflect on our personal stories, including family wounds, trauma, and moments that cracked us open to the truth of who we really are. This is an episode about remembrance, radical self-honesty, and the bravery it takes to finally say, “That’s not my name.” Timestamps 2:26 – Shadow work 101: Shame is the root. 5:24 – Your true self is hiding in the shadow, afraid to be seen. 9:04 – How shame, money, and patriarchy are intertwined. 11:52 – The shadow of shame is self-abandonment. 16:40 – Why judgment is scary and how to alchemize it. 21:09 – How accepting ourselves liberates others. 25:26 – Reclaiming inner authority and self-definition. 26:33 – Waking up is non-linear: different timelines and “advertisements” for awakening. 28:49 – From numb to vibrant: personal stories of awakening. 33:50 – “Risk rejection to receive real”: the courage to be fully seen. 40:41 – Self-inquiry as a portal to presence and power. Journal Prompts: Where am I still abandoning myself to fit in or avoid judgment? What’s one part of me I feel ashamed to show—and what might happen if I brought it into the light? Who or what have I given my authority to, and how can I begin reclaiming it today? Follow us on Instagram and TikTok @RitualAlchemist and join us on Patreon at Patreon.com/RitualAlchemist
