    Ep17: Rising in Real Life - Why Women Need Different Tools to Thrive | Season 2 Premiere

    Season 2 is here—and we’re going deeper, Sister. In this Season 2 premiere of The Phoenix Perspective Podcast, we explore what it really means to rise in real life as a woman living in a cyclical body, in a world that was never designed with women’s rhythms, hormones, nervous systems, or emotional realities in mind. This episode is an invitation into more honest conversations about women’s health, burnout, menstrual cycles, perimenopause, pleasure, nervous system regulation, body literacy, self-trust, and the messy, beautiful reality of being human. Drawing from my experience as a registered nurse, cyclical living educator, and woman navigating real life right alongside you, I share the deeper vision behind Season 2: Rising in Real Life. Because healing isn’t about becoming perfect. It’s about reconnecting with yourself. We talk about: Why women often feel exhausted, disconnected, or like they’re “failing”How hustle culture and patriarchal systems disconnect women from their bodiesThe importance of cyclical living and honoring changing energy throughout the menstrual cycleWhy women need different wellness tools and nervous system supportBreaking period stigma and opening conversations around taboo topicsThe power of community, body literacy, and self-acceptanceWhat it means to stop abandoning yourself and start listening to your body You’ll also get a sneak peek into the powerful guest stories coming this season—including conversations about healing, hormones, intimacy, burnout, generational patterns, feminine leadership, pleasure, spirituality, and rebuilding life from the ashes. This season is less scripted, more real, and rooted in practical tools for living a vibrant, aligned life in the middle of everyday chaos. Because you are not broken, sister. You are cyclical. And your body has been speaking to you all along.

  2. Remembering the Fifth Element of Love: The Phoenix Unscripted

    MAY 9

    Remembering the Fifth Element of Love: The Phoenix Unscripted

    In this Phoenix Unscripted reflection, I find myself thinking about the elements—earth, water, fire, and air—and the mysterious fifth element that ties them all together. Sometimes the insights that shape us don’t come from formal teachings. They arrive through songs, movies, memories, and quiet moments where something suddenly clicks. In the summer of 2025, while listening to music and rewatching The Fifth Element, I found myself reflecting on something deeper: the idea that love is the force that brings everything into balance. In the film, the elements alone weren’t enough to stop the darkness. Even the supreme being couldn’t act until love activated the whole system. And maybe our lives work the same way. In this reflection beside the fire, I explore the idea that we often forget who we are—and sometimes it takes another person, a song, a story, or a moment of connection to help us remember. In this conversation, we explore: • The symbolism of the elements and the mysterious “fifth element” • Why love may be the force that binds body, soul, and purpose together • How the people around us help reflect our light back to us • Why remembering our purpose can be difficult in a world that feels chaotic • The importance of community and connection for those walking a path of awakening Sometimes remembering who we are doesn’t happen alone. Sometimes it happens when someone else reminds us. So settle in, take a breath, and join me beside the fire. If you enjoyed this episode, you'll love what's happening inside the Red Tent Society.

Season 2: Rising in Real Life starts on the New Moon on May 16!  This season, we’ll explore how women live, work, and lead once they stop abandoning their bodies and start waking up to their feminine power.  Follow The Phoenix Perspective Podcast so you don’t miss an episode, released every Moon Phase.

  3. The "I'm Not Good Enough" Story: The Phoenix Unscripted

    MAY 1

    The "I'm Not Good Enough" Story: The Phoenix Unscripted

    In this deeply personal Phoenix Unscripted reflection recorded in 2024, I share a story that has quietly shaped much of my life: the belief that I wasn’t good enough. Sometimes those beliefs don’t arrive all at once. They form slowly, moment by moment—through experiences, comments, expectations, and disappointments that leave tiny imprints on our identity. A missed opportunity. A message about your body. A voice of authority telling you who you are. Over time, those moments can begin to form a story that runs quietly in the background of our lives. In this reflection beside the fire, I revisit some of the moments that planted that belief in me—from teenage disappointments to early experiences in the military—and the realization that I’ve spent years chasing a version of myself that always felt just out of reach. But on that day, something inside me shifted. I realized I’m tired of carrying that story. And maybe the only way forward is to start pulling those weeds out of the garden of my life—one belief at a time. In this reflection, we explore: • How the belief “I’m not good enough” can take root over time • The subtle ways institutions and authority figures shape our identity • What it feels like to chase a version of yourself that always seems out of reach • Why unlearning old beliefs is a slow, intentional process • The moment we decide we’re done carrying the weight of those stories This episode isn’t about fixing anything. It’s simply an honest reflection about the stories we carry—and what it might look like to finally set some of them down. So take a breath, settle in, and join me beside the fire.

  4. Where Our Energy Really Comes From: The Phoenix Unscripted

    APR 23

    Where Our Energy Really Comes From: The Phoenix Unscripted

    In this Phoenix Unscripted reflection, I sit beside the fire and explore a question that’s been on my mind lately: where does our energy actually come from? We often hear spiritual teachings that say energy is infinite and doesn’t come from the physical world. But as someone who works closely with the body, I’ve been reflecting on the truth that our energy is more complex than that. We are both earth and spirit. Our bodies generate energy from the food we eat, the air we breathe, and the sunlight stored in the plants that nourish us. But we also have another kind of energy — the spark that comes from creativity, purpose, excitement, and connection to something larger than ourselves. In this reflection, I share a recent experience that reminded me how powerful that energetic spark can be… and why a truly vibrant life requires caring for both sources of energy. This isn’t a teaching episode. It’s simply a reflection on what it means to feel alive. In this conversation beside the fire, we explore: • Why energy is such an essential part of living a vibrant life • The difference between the body’s physical energy and our energetic spark • Why denying the body cuts us off from an important source of vitality • How creativity, joy, and connection can awaken another kind of energy • Why both the physical and energetic sides of ourselves deserve care If you’ve ever noticed that certain experiences leave you feeling completely alive — even when you’re tired — this reflection might resonate. So take a breath, settle in, and join me beside the fire. If you enjoyed this episode, you'll love what's happening inside the Red Tent Society.

  5. Remembering the Wild Feminine: The Phoenix Unscripted

    APR 17

    Remembering the Wild Feminine: The Phoenix Unscripted

    In this Phoenix Unscripted reflection, I sit beside the fire and follow a thread that has been quietly weaving through my life for decades. It starts with my motorcycle named Lilith… and leads me into childhood memories of watching bats at dusk, filling notebooks with observations, and falling in love with creatures the world taught us to fear. As I explore the mythology of Lilith and the dark feminine, I begin to notice something fascinating: the symbols, stories, and fascinations that shaped me as a child may have been breadcrumbs all along—little clues pointing me back toward who I truly am. This episode isn’t a lesson or a teaching. It’s an invitation to pause and reflect. Because sometimes the things that captured our imagination when we were young weren’t random at all. They were reminders. In this reflection, we explore: • How childhood fascinations can hold clues about our deeper nature • Why the “dark feminine” is often misunderstood and pushed into shadow • The idea that our lives leave breadcrumbs guiding us back to ourselves • The cycles of awakening and integration on a spiritual path • A gentle question to help you reflect on the symbols and stories that shaped you If you’ve ever felt drawn to certain stories, animals, myths, or archetypes without fully understanding why… this conversation might help you see those threads in a new way. So settle in, take a breath, and join me beside the fire. If you enjoyed this episode, you'll love what's happening inside the Red Tent Society.

    Healing the Masculine Abandonment Wound: The Phoenix Unscripted

    In this Phoenix Unscripted episode, I’m sitting beside the fire with you—unpolished, unplanned, and deeply honest. What began as a quiet early-morning meditation turned into an unexpected conversation with my 12-year-old self and a layer of wounding I didn’t realize was still asking to be seen. This reflection explores the moment many girls experience but rarely name: when the body changes, affection shifts, and something in the masculine—fathers, God, authority, safety—feels like it disappears. I share how puberty, religion, and the sexualization of women’s bodies shaped an abandonment wound that echoed through my relationships, my spirituality, and my sense of self. We talk about healing as a spiral, not a straight line. About reclaiming the body as sacred. About integrating—not rejecting—the divine masculine. And about the quiet power of inner child work, cyclical living, and compassionate self-witnessing. This isn’t a teaching episode. It’s a remembering. If you’ve ever felt abandoned by men, disconnected from the divine, or unsure where your belonging went—come sit by the fire with me. You are not alone. If you enjoyed this episode, you'll love what's happening inside the Red Tent Society. This is a space where women gather to rest, reconnect, and rise as Cyclical Beings.

  7. What My Menstrual Cycle Has Been Teaching Me: The Phoenix Unscripted

    What My Menstrual Cycle Has Been Teaching Me: The Phoenix Unscripted

    In this Phoenix Unscripted episode, Kori Rae Kovacs shares a personal reflection on cycle mindfulness, intentional living, and why honoring your menstrual cycle starts with awareness—not perfection. What if the real beginning of hormone healing isn’t doing everything “right,” but simply paying attention? In this episode, Kori explores the difference between cycle syncing and what she calls cycle mindfulness: bringing your cycle back to the forefront of your awareness each day and learning to respond to your body with presence, boundaries, and self-trust. She shares how protecting her bleed phase became the doorway into deeper healing, how “Baby Bunny Day” revealed a repeating pattern of tenderness in her cycle, and why intentional support on sensitive days can change everything. Inside this reflection: Why cycle mindfulness can be more powerful than trying to do cycle syncing perfectly How protecting your menstrual phase helps prevent burnout The importance of boundaries around your bleed What “Baby Bunny Day” is and how tracking patterns creates self-trust How intention brings your presence back into your daily life Why paying attention to your cycle is a form of healthcare This is not a rigid how-to episode. It’s a gentle reminder that your cycle is always speaking—and when you listen, you begin to care for yourself differently. If you’ve been feeling burned out, disconnected from your body, or unsure where to begin with cyclical living, this conversation offers a softer starting point. If you enjoyed this episode, you'll love what's happening inside the Red Tent Society. This is a space where women gather to rest, reconnect, and rise as Cyclical Beings.
