    73: The Lover Archetype and the Sacred Power of Desire

    What if desire was not something to suppress, but a sacred force guiding you back to yourself? This exploration of the lover archetype reveals beauty, pleasure, and sensuality as gateways to spiritual awakening rather than indulgences to outgrow. Through myth, psychology, and goddess wisdom, the lover emerges as a vital life force that fuels creativity, devotion, and embodied presence. Aphrodite, Eros, and Psyche illuminate how longing can initiate transformation, deepen intimacy with life, and reconnect women to their vitality. When the lover is honored, life regains its shimmer and meaning. Desire becomes devotion, beauty becomes prayer, and embodiment becomes a sacred act of remembrance.

    72: Breaking Free from the Mind Parasite and Awakening Consciousness with Sol Luckman

    What if reality is more malleable than we have been taught, and your consciousness is the key to freedom? This conversation explores the nature of reality as a dreamlike construct, how consciousness can be influenced through fear, trauma, and constant stimulation, and why imagination is one of the most powerful tools we have for reclaiming personal agency. Together, we unpack concepts like the matrix, mind parasites, loosh energy, and the impact of the modern news cycle on the nervous system, while pointing toward practical ways to protect your consciousness and disengage from energetic manipulation. By shifting attention inward, cultivating silence, and restoring imagination, a new relationship with reality becomes possible, one rooted in creativity, sovereignty, and conscious choice. This dialogue invites a return to inner authority and a remembrance of what it means to live unbroken in a world designed to fragment attention.

    71: Earth Based Spirituality Imbolc and the Return of Feminine Power

    Reconnecting with the natural cycles of the earth restores a deeper sense of balance, belonging, and feminine power that modern life has stripped away. This conversation explores earth-based spirituality, ancestral reconnection, and intuitive magic through the lens of the Wheel of the Year and the sacred Sabbat of Imbolc. Themes of cyclical living, honoring seasonal rhythms, and reclaiming feminine wisdom are woven together with reflections on the shadow side of self-help culture, spiritual bypassing, and how women have been conditioned to see themselves as perpetually unfinished. The discussion also unpacks the crone archetype, the myths surrounding shadow work, and what it truly means to withdraw consent from patriarchal systems without force or fear. By grounding spiritual practice in nature, intuition, and ancestral memory, this dialogue invites a return to authenticity, sovereignty, and embodied wisdom that cannot be packaged, fixed, or sold. The path forward is not about becoming someone new, but remembering who you have always been.

    69: Sacred Disobedience and the Outlaw Archetype of Feminine Awakening

    Sacred disobedience has always been the moment when feminine awakening truly begins. This reflection explores the outlaw archetype through myth, psychology, and lived experience, revealing how women awaken not through obedience but through curiosity, truth, and inner authority. Stories of Eve, Psyche, and Bluebeard’s young wife are woven together with Carl Jung’s teachings on individuation and shadow work, reframing the so called good girl conditioning that keeps many women compliant, quiet, and disconnected from their power. Rather than reckless rebellion, sacred disobedience is shown as discernment and devotion to inner wisdom. When women choose wholeness over approval, they begin the path back to their deepest truth and creative power.

    68: Attachment Styles, ADHD Labels and Healing Self Abandonment through Depth Psychology

    Healing is not about perfection; it is about remembering who you are beneath the labels, diagnoses, and stories. Depth psychotherapist Vanessa Bennett joins Lisa Marie Rankin to explore the messy middle between spiritual bypassing and wallowing, why self-obsession can keep us stuck, and how service and community help us rise above our own drama. They unpack anxious attachment and dating culture, the TikTok-driven rise in ADHD self-diagnosis, and how our nervous systems are being hijacked by a world built on dysregulation. Vanessa shares her depth psychology view of the Self with a capital S, explaining why boundaries are sacred micro-moments of self-remembrance, and how her book, "The Motherhood Myth," maps the myths, motherhood, and patriarchy that keep women isolated and ashamed. This conversation cuts through labels, questions why partnership is so often pursued from wounded places, and reframes healing as a return to inner balance between masculine and feminine. It reminds us that nothing is wrong with us; we are remembering who we are in a world designed to keep us fragmented.

    As the year turns and a new threshold opens, this reflection invites you into a deeper, more enchanting way of living that goes far beyond goals and resolutions. Standing in the liminal space between endings and beginnings, Lisa Marie Rankin shares five sacred forces she is weaving into 2026: imagination, beauty, creativity, play, and connection to the divine. Through storytelling, mythic imagery, and soulful wisdom, she explores how these qualities awaken possibility, restore wonder, and help women move out of fixing and into becoming. This is an invitation to let life feel alive again through presence, devotion, and embodied feminine wisdom. By choosing expansion over self-optimization and devotion over manifestation, a richer relationship with the divine becomes possible.

    66: Wintering Well With Ayurveda For Calm, Warmth, And Energy

    Winter can be cozy and magical, yet it can also leave you feeling dry, scattered, anxious, and depleted. With a seasonal Ayurvedic lens, this conversation explores why winter tends to amplify vata qualities like cold, dryness, and restlessness, especially when the holidays add more socializing, richer food, and disrupted routines. You will hear five grounding rituals designed to bring in the opposites: warmth, nourishment, oil, slowness, and steadiness, including abhyanga self-massage with sesame oil, a warm spiced milk bedtime ritual, and choosing soups and stews to support digestion and energy. The guidance also weaves in nervous system care through a winter-friendly digital detox and a return to imagination through epic novels and mythic stories. The invitation is simple: let winter reset your rhythm and support you in feeling held, nourished, and inspired.
