Mindfully Disruptive

Patricia Rundblade

Mindfully Disruptive unfiltered. unapologetic. unignorable. Mindfully Disruptive is the podcast for the woman who has outgrown the life she built — and is finally ready to build the one that she has been craving. If you’ve ever whispered to yourself, How did I get here… and why doesn’t my life fit anymore? Who am I now? Why does everything feel different? — pull up a chair, friend. You’re in the right place. This show is for women moving through midlife — and yes, through perimenopause and menopause — as the initiation it truly is. Not as an ending; as a remembering - a return - a becoming. Together, we explore the exhaustion beneath the exhaustion: the draining of your energy, the control used in order to feel safe, the ways we continually hand our power away, and the ancestral burdens we continue to carry rent-free in our minds, hearts, and bodies. Through tools like Human Design, Gene Keys, creative art practices, ancestral medicine, divination, and shamanic wisdom, we explore what it means to reclaim your energy, your identity, and your self-leadership. On your own terms. In your own timing. In your own design. Each week, we dive into Human Design and Gene Keys teachings that help you trust yourself and your own decisions. We explore perimenopause and menopause through the lens of energy and design — especially for non-sacral types who were never meant to run on constant output. We talk about identity shifts, purpose pivots, and the beautiful untangling that always comes before transformation. We explore life energy healing — what it actually means to restore your energy, not just manage it. We weave in spiritual wisdom, lived experience, and real stories of women consciously transforming their lives and narratives. And we sit down with guest teachers in tarot and divination, psychic mediumship, ancestral medicine, shamanic healing, and other powerful practices most podcasts won’t touch. Every episode is part teaching, part reflection, part permission slip — with honest conversation, practical tools, and the occasional well-placed f-bomb. Because here’s what I know about this season of life: your spark didn’t disappear. It got tangled in the messiness of a misaligned life. And this — this is how we untangle the knots. Midlife isn’t the beginning of the end. It’s the best part of life. Welcome to Mindfully Disruptive. I’m so glad you’re here. I’m Patricia — Curandera, Creative Energetics Intuitive, Podcast host, Artist, and Leadership Mentor — and I have walked the walk of the exhaustion beyond the exhaustion myself. What I share about this work comes from inside of a very lived experience. I have transformed my way through it — through art that cracked me open, through breath that moved what words couldn’t reach, through the slow and honest process of reclaiming my own energy - one truthful moment at a time. I was born to speak - to move words through my Leo Moon voice. I lead from the heart because I don’t know any other way. I am here to disrupt — mindfully. And I’ve been waiting for you.

    S5: Episode 75 - The Medicine of Your Roots — A Conversation on Ancestral Healing with Denisse Silva

    Some conversations stop you in your tracks. This is one of them. Patricia sits down with Denise Silva — licensed therapist and founder of Ancestral Therapy — for an honest, intimate conversation about what it means to heal not just individually but through the lineage. Denise brings her own story of reconnecting with her El Salvadorian and Mexican roots, and what she found when she started doing the deeper work of rematriation and ancestral healing. What makes this conversation different is where it goes. Beyond therapy. Beyond the clinical. Into the places where food, land, storytelling, and traditional practice hold more medicine than any framework Western psychology has to offer. They talk about what migration and cultural erasure actually cost us — not just historically but in our bodies, our relationships, and our sense of belonging. They talk about the adaptations our parents made to survive and how we inherited those adaptations without a manual. And they talk about what it looks like to start breaking cycles — not through willpower but through reconnecting with the richness and wisdom that was always already there in our roots. If you've ever felt disconnected from where you came from — or quietly grieved something you can't quite name — this episode will put language to it.

  2. S5:Episode 71 - Boxed In- Birth to Burnout

    S5:Episode 71 - Boxed In- Birth to Burnout

    What if the exhaustion you've been carrying isn't about working too hard — but about spending a lifetime living inside boxes that were never built for you? In this episode, Patricia walks you through three boxes that shape us from the moment we're born — the beliefs handed to us by family, the conformity drilled into us by education, and the roles we spend adulthood performing without ever stopping to ask if we chose them. Together they form a system that quietly, systematically strips away the one thing that could save us — our creativity. This isn't abstract theory. Patricia brings her own story into each box — the ten-year-old who became her family's emotional manager, the teenager who learned to carry her culture in silence, the woman who chose a career for portability rather than passion. The personal thread running through this episode is what makes it land differently than anything you've heard before on this topic. By the end you'll have a clearer picture of where your exhaustion actually comes from — and a journaling process to begin seeing which parts of your life are truly yours and which ones were handed to you before you were old enough to refuse them. If you've ever whispered to yourself — how did I get here, and why doesn't any of this feel like mine — this episode was made for you. Ready to go deeper? If this episode stirred something in you, Threads of Unraveling is the natural next step — a written portrait of your specific exhaustion patterns followed by a private session with Patricia.  If you're ready to move through the knots rather than just name them, The Untangling is a private three-session immersion where the real work happens.  And if you want to stay connected to this work as it unfolds — Patricia's book The Unburdened Woman is coming. Keep an eye out. If this episode stirred something true within you, share it with a fellow soul on the path.

  3. S5: Episode 73-What Happens When a Man Finally Stops Running From Himself — with Ryan Spence

    S5: Episode 73-What Happens When a Man Finally Stops Running From Himself — with Ryan Spence

    Ryan Spence didn't set out to become a healer. He set out to survive. And somewhere between childhood wounds, emotional eating, and a corporate finance career that looked good from the outside, something inside him was quietly waiting to break open. In this conversation, Ryan shares what that breaking open actually looked like — the 2019 spiritual awakening that cracked everything loose, the moment Human Design handed him language for who he'd always been, and what it took to walk away from a life that made sense on paper in order to build one that made sense in his body. What makes this episode worth your time is Ryan's willingness to go to the places most people skip. He talks about mother wounds and self-worth not as concepts but as lived experience. He talks about what vulnerability actually costs — especially for men — and why he considers it the most courageous act available to us. He talks about somatic work, ancestral healing, and what it means to balance masculine action with the kind of rest and creativity that most high-achieving people have been taught to distrust. If you've been circling the edges of this kind of work — curious about Human Design, wondering if healing is actually possible, or just exhausted from leading a life that doesn't quite fit — Ryan's story is a honest look at what the journey can look like when you finally stop managing and start feeling. This one is for the soulful warrior who knows something needs to change but hasn't quite found the door yet.

    S5: Episode 70: Trusting Your Intuition: Andrew Spirit on Mediumship, Energy, and Living Fully

    This is a conversation with psychic medium Andrew Spirit about awakening, spiritual hygiene, and trusting what you sense—even when the world tells you not to. Andrew's story breaks the stereotype. His awakening didn't happen in childhood. It came from a life crisis that cracked him wide open. And that changed everything. We talk about what it actually means to live intuitively—not as theory, but as practice. How to protect and cleanse your energy field (spiritual hygiene isn't optional). How to choose a medium based on heart connection, not credentials. How to work with spirit by asking permission, reading energy, and discerning symbols from threats. Andrew shares the universal message from Spirit: love yourself first, so you can love others unconditionally. Not as a platitude, but as lived truth. We also talk about: Living passionately and authentically—not for wealth or societal approvalTrusting your intuition in everyday moments (yes, even with trees)Connecting with loved ones, pets, and the unseenFinding your soul tribe and following your unique path beyond family norms and expectationsEmbracing the ongoing journey of growth—your soul's progress is lifelongThis isn't fluff. It's real. And it's a reminder to trust yourself, honor your energy, and live fully in the moment.

  5. S5: Episode 69: Emotional Constipation Is Real—And It's Living in Your Stomach

    Apr 27

    S5: Episode 69: Emotional Constipation Is Real—And It's Living in Your Stomach

    That knot you feel? That constant tension? It's not random. It's your body holding what you haven't been able to release. Compressed emotion. Compressed stress. Compressed fear that has nowhere else to go. And the more you tolerate it, the more you swallow it, the tighter that knot gets. In this episode, I share what happened when I felt that knot on a morning walk with Leo—and what I learned about what my body was trying to tell me. We talk about: ·       Why your stomach is your second brain (and what the gut-brain axis actually means) ·       The difference between passively absorbing the world and swallowing everything whole ·       What happens when you don't digest your emotions (spoiler: they lodge themselves into your body) ·       Why suppressing emotions creates exhaustion—and the science behind it ·       How tolerating what doesn't feel right creates that constant knot in your stomach ·       Two simple practices to start loosening the knot: awareness and expansion Here's the truth: You're not just digesting food. You're digesting literally everything in your world. Information. Emotions—yours and everyone else's. Energy. Experiences. And when you don't have a way to process what you're absorbing, it all just sits there. In your field. In your energy. In your stomach. That's emotional constipation. And just like being physically constipated, it doesn't feel good. But here's what I want you to understand: Your stomach knows what your mind is trying to ignore. That tension, that knot—it's not your enemy. It's your ally. It's the part of you still trying to protect you, still trying to get your attention, still trying to say: this isn't working, we need to do something differently. So start listening. Start noticing. Start creating space for your body to speak. And if you're ready to go deeper—if you're tired of tolerating exhaustion, tired of swallowing everyone else's world, tired of ignoring those knots—let's do this work together. Resources mentioned: The Body Map (free interactive art-based ebook): Map where your body is holding knots of exhaustion and tensionThe Unraveling (intimate manuscript): Your specific energy blueprint—where you're bypassing yourself, where you're absorbing what isn't yoursThe Untangling (6 hours of sacred private work): Untangle the patterns, release what you've been holding, create a sustainable way of moving through the worldIf this episode stirred something true within you, share it with a fellow soul on the path.Leave a review to help amplify voices like yours — voices that disrupt, remember, and realign.

  6. S5:Episode 68: Elizabeth Breckenridge on Tarot, Deity Work, Transformation & The Gods Nobody Talks About

    Apr 13

    S5:Episode 68: Elizabeth Breckenridge on Tarot, Deity Work, Transformation & The Gods Nobody Talks About

    There are conversations that stay with you long after the recording ends. This is one of them. Elizabeth Breckenridge is a Tarot Reader, Channeler, and Spiritual Coach whose practice lives at the intersection of two things most people keep separate — tarot and deity work. Specifically, the Infernal Divine: gods from other cultures that were demonized, suppressed, and silenced — particularly during the spread of Christianity. Gods who, in Elizabeth's experience, are not what they've been made out to be. This conversation goes places most podcasts won't. Join us as she traces her path from a childhood steeped in spiritual curiosity to a professional practice built on the marriage of tarot and deity work — and shares what she's discovered on the other side of every narrative she was handed. She talks about tarot not as a system to be memorized but as an art form — imagery designed to stoke intuition, to take you somewhere you couldn't have arrived at through thinking alone. She speaks about the transformation archetype — the descent into the underworld, the facing of what's there, the re-emergence changed — and what it means to work consciously with that kind of energy. And she does all of it with a groundedness and generosity that makes even the unfamiliar feel approachable. This isn't an episode about convincing you of anything. It's an invitation to get curious — about tarot, about the gods history tried to erase, about the parts of yourself that have been waiting in the underworld for someone to finally come looking. WHAT WE COVER Elizabeth's path into tarot — from childhood curiosity and a spiritually rich family background to building a full practice as a reader and coach.The Infernal Divine — what it means, where it comes from, and why Elizabeth believes these demonized gods deserve a second look.Tarot as art and science — how imagery works on the intuition and why Elizabeth teaches presence with the cards over memorization of meanings.Deity work and tarot together — how these two practices layer and deepen each other in ways neither can do alone.The transformation archetype — descent, facing what's there, re-emergence — and what it means to work with this consciously.The versatility of tarot — from shadow work and self-inquiry to meditation, divination, and some of the most unexpected reading situations Elizabeth has found herself in.How to deliver difficult readings with compassion — Elizabeth's approach to navigating the harder moments of the practice with grace.Practical advice for beginners — why intuition and imagery matter more than memorization, and how community changes everything.Connect with Elizabeth Breckenridge  📷 Instagram — @CoffeCupsTarot  🎵 TikTok — @CoffeeCupsTarot  🛍️ Etsy shop for readings and coaching — coffeecupstarot Learn more about her program: Path to Infernal Sovereignty - 7 Week Mentorship program - through her Etsy website Podcast Show Host Connections If this episode stirred something true within you, share it with a fellow soul on the path.Leave a review to help amplify voices like yours — voices that disrupt, remember, and realign.

    Apr 5

    S5: Episode 67 - How the Tarot's 10 of Wands Can Help You Untangle Life's Heavy Knots

    ABOUT THIS EPISODE You already know what it feels like to carry too much. The weight that doesn't announce itself dramatically — it just accumulates. Slowly. Quietly. Until one day you realize you've been moving through life bent under a load you can't quite name and haven't quite been able to set down. In this episode Patricia brings the tarot into the conversation — not as prediction, but as mirror. Specifically, the 10 of Wands. That figure in the card, bent forward under a bundle of heavy staves, barely able to see where they're going. If you've ever looked at that image and felt something shift in your chest — this episode is for you. Patricia traces the history of exhaustion — from the Victorian-era diagnosis of Neurasthenia to modern burnout — and asks the question underneath all of it: what have we been conditioned to carry, and who decided it was ours to hold? This isn't just an intellectual exploration. Patricia moves through the emotional and energetic cost of living under too much — the toll it takes on the body, on finances, on relationships, on the quiet sense of self that gets buried under the doing. She weaves in reflection questions that don't let you off the hook gently: What would it feel like to set one thing down? Where are you waiting for permission to ask for help? What are you holding that was never actually yours? And she introduces the Body Map — a tarot spread, guided art practice, and journal prompts woven together as a somatic creative experience to help you locate where the burdens are living in the body and begin the honest work of untangling them. Because the knots don't dissolve from the outside. They loosen from within. WHAT WE COVER — The history of exhaustion — from Neurasthenia to burnout — and the cultural conditioning that taught us to normalize carrying too much. — The 10 of Wands as a living archetype — what this tarot card reveals about the weight we carry and why we keep picking it back up. — The emotional, physical, and financial toll of chronic over-responsibility — and why it's rarely just about being busy. — Reflection questions to help you locate your knots — what to let go of, where to find support, and how to stay open when the weight starts to lift. IF THIS EPISODE IS LANDING FOR YOU Start with the free Body Map — a tarot spread, guided art practice, and journal prompts designed to help you understand where exhaustion is actually living in your body and life.
