    Maegan Megginson: Stepping into the Void

    Maegan Megginson: Stepping into the Void

    In this episode of Journey Home to Self, I had the pleasure of speaking with Maegan Megginson, a Licensed Therapist and Business Mentor. Maeggan shared her profound journey of transitioning from a Therapist to a Business Coach, and now to a mentor who blends emotional, psychological, spiritual, and strategic elements to help entrepreneurs.
    We delved into the challenges of realizing that the work we do may not align with our authentic selves and the societal conditioning that often keeps us from pursuing our true calling. Maegan opened up about her emotional process of letting go of her identity as a business coach and the importance of serving from a place of love rather than profit.
    We also discussed the concept of the liminal space or the void, which Maegan refers to as a fertile ground for personal growth and transformation. She emphasized the importance of feeling safe in the 3D world before fully surrendering to the unknown and shared her personal tools for navigating this space, including talk therapy, connecting with women in circles, exploring spirituality, and the use of psychedelic plant medicines.
    Maegan's insights on being a 'double agent' who can walk in both the spiritual and material worlds resonated deeply with me. Her message is a powerful reminder that our personal process is our work in the world, and sometimes, we need to live the questions rather than push for answers.

    Always Be Feeling: Four Tenets for Navigating Emotions

    Always Be Feeling: Four Tenets for Navigating Emotions

    In this episode of Journey Home to Self, we dove deep into the waters of our emotional states and how we often mask our true feelings with rehearsed responses. I invite you to pause and reflect on how you're genuinely feeling, beyond the surface-level "I'm fine" or "I'm okay."
    We explored the discomfort that comes with acknowledging our true emotions, especially when they're not entirely positive. I shared my own experiences with this struggle and introduced the concept of "spiritual bypassing," which is the act of using spiritual ideas to avoid facing unresolved emotional issues.
    To help you navigate this process, I offered four tenets of always being feeling (ABF): radical honesty, avoiding labeling emotions, allowing emotions the time they need, and remembering the purpose of our emotional journey.

    Courtney Tarrant: How Can We Do "Endings" Better

    Courtney Tarrant: How Can We Do "Endings" Better

    In this profoundly moving episode of Journey Home to Self, we delved into the often-avoided topics of grief, loss, and the transformative power of endings. Our guest, Courtney Tarrant, shared her intimate journey through the dissolution of her marriage, the passing of her beloved grandfather, and the personal evolution that followed these life-altering events.
    Courtney's story is a testament to the idea that endings, while inherently painful, can be approached with intention, kindness, and a deep respect for the relationships and parts of ourselves that we are letting go. She spoke candidly about the societal discomfort with grief and how we, as a culture, tend to rush towards the new beginning without fully honoring the ending that precedes it.
    Through her experiences, Courtney has learned to alchemize her grief, transforming the lead of loss into the gold of wisdom. She emphasized the importance of giving a 'good death' to our former selves and relationships, creating space for the new versions of ourselves to emerge authentically.
    This episode is a reminder that grief is not just about the loss of a loved one but can encompass the loss of dreams, friendships, and our past selves. It's an invitation to honor our complete selves, to feel our grief fully, and to recognize that in the process of endings, we are birthing new beginnings.
    Join us on this intimate journey as we explore the depths of our souls and discover the beauty that lies in embracing the full spectrum of our human experience.

    Unveiling the Patriarchy: The Role of the Divine Feminine

    Unveiling the Patriarchy: The Role of the Divine Feminine

    In this podcast episode, host Deepshikha talks about the origin of Patriarchy and the role of Divine Feminine in our history. 
    The host emphasizes that if we genuinely want to dismantle the patriarchy and unleash our power, we must first heal the patriarchy. This necessitates bridging the gap between us and embracing kindness, compassion, acceptance, and love. She urges women in the business of women empowerment to be mindful of whether they are truly dismantling the patriarchy or inadvertently aiding it by denying the Divine Feminine.
    In conclusion, the podcast episode highlights the influence and responsibility that women in the business of women empowerment possess. They have the power to disseminate ideas and shape thinking, which can significantly impact the beliefs and perspectives of their audience. The host encourages these women to be aware of their role in dismantling the patriarchy and to embrace the divine feminine rather than dismissing it.

    Kate Hanley: Finding the Throughline + Lessons From the Liminal Space

    Kate Hanley: Finding the Throughline + Lessons From the Liminal Space

    In this podcast episode, host, Deepshikha Sairam and her guest, Kate Hanley explore the concept of the liminal space as a valuable period for self-reflection and reassessing priorities. Kate shares her personal journey of feeling overwhelmed and burnt out, leading her to realize the unsustainability of her current lifestyle. This realization prompted her to enroll in a Reiki class in search of self-care and rejuvenation. However, the practice of Reiki helped her confront the depth of her exhaustion and acknowledge the need for significant changes in her way of living.
    Kate's experience underscores the significance of the liminal space as a time for introspection and self-discovery. It enabled her to recognize the necessity of making adjustments in her life to prioritize her well-being and discover what truly energized and inspired her. The liminal space acted as a catalyst for Kate to reevaluate her priorities and make decisions aligned with her values and inner needs.
    The episode also highlights the role of practices like journaling and free writing in navigating the liminal space. Kate discusses how writing to prompts can help individuals bypass their inner critic and delve deeper into their thoughts and emotions. By engaging in these practices, individuals can gain clarity and insight into their feelings and experiences, fostering personal growth and self-awareness.
    Additionally, the episode emphasizes the importance of maintaining hobbies, friendships, and self-care practices during the liminal space. Kate shares how activities such as sailing and connecting with friends helped her reset her nervous system and stay grounded during challenging times. These practices not only provided moments of joy and relaxation but also served as anchors for Kate to remain connected to herself and her values.

This show is a must listen!

This is a show that’s needed in the current times. We often don’t talk about the inner journey and how it affects our life. Deepshikha and her guests don’t leave out any part, the messy, the good, the downright painful but it’s all needed on our way back home. The conversations here are raw, honest and enriching. It’s a weekly boost on my Spiritual Journey.
