The term Christ Consciousness is a relatively new one to me. And I knew the first time that I heard it, it was something I wanted to deepen into further and learn more about. Then when I found Alia Walston I knew I had found the perfect vessel to deepen with and bring to you in this episode of The Priestess Podcast. While I don’t know what your beliefs or knowledge about Christ Consciousness are - you may like me - be about to have it’s true meaning opened up to you and even challenged. What is ...

In the fast paced modern world we live in it seems sometimes as though we are always searching for something new, fresh and never before seen. Our culture is one that at times feels filled with disposables and an insatiable desire for the latest ‘thing’. And while new things can bring us so much, we surely must recognise that the old, the old ways, the ancient, the wise and wisdom filled, have deep merit too. I’ve often thought that a deep indicator of how well functioning a society is, is seen ...

Holding space. I know it’s something that many of you who listen to The Priestess Podcast do whether it be as a parent, sacred space holder, coach, healer or guide. How well do you do it however? How deeply, how reverently, how present, how focused? Big questions I know but there is no one better I could think of to converse with about such things than my guest today, Heather Plett, author of ‘The Art of Holding Space’ and the Founder of the Centre for Holding Space. Heather leads us in this int...

It’s well beyond time that we started to acknowledge in the self development and spiritual worlds that so much of what we may be healing and trying to work through is due to the collective oppressions we have all been living with for generations. We of course must all take responsibility for our own learning, unlearning and rising above, but when we can see that systems of oppression like the patriarchy have been designed and deliberately orchestrated to keep women and non-binary folks quiet, su...

Shamanism. Shamans. Shamanic practices. So many myths and mistruths and misconceptions abound about them all.

How someone may come to concepts in our lives such as the Divine Feminine is of course as varied as we all are. I have always had a fascination with people who have had the world of the Goddess and Divine surrounding them since birth, because it was not something that came into my own field of consciousness (even though it WAS present), until I was well into adulthood. My guest on The Priestess Podcast today, Jonita D’souza has been surrounded by the Goddess since an early age, but in a culture ...

If you are a regular listener of The Priestess Podcast then you will know that I am a big believer in the power of all things ancient and ancestral. Our past and the past of others has so much to teach us about ourselves in a modern context - everything from how we relate to each other, how things like the patriarchy impacts us, spiritual traditions and more. Part of that ‘more’ is our health and wellbeing and my guest today - Jema Lee - is passionate about the wisdom of the ancient world and th...

My guest on The Priestess Podcast today is the beautiful and soulful top ranking podcast host, author and mindfulness expert Rachael Kable. Rachael discovered mindfulness at a time in her life when she was experiencing challenging thoughts and feelings that were taking her out of the present moment and either focusing on her past, or projecting her into the future and a space of being where things were even yet to happen. And if you’ve had thoughts like that then you will relate. I think we all ...

Can you relate to any of the following things dear listener…? You want to be seen but you don’t. You want to draw people towards you and your work but you don’t want to be judged or criticised. You want to put yourself out there in a big and bold way but you don’t want to make a mistake. You want more followers on social media but you don’t want to have to share everything about your life. I think that many of us can relate to at least some of these things and I know I certainly have before. On ...

Host of The Priestess Podcast Julie Parker shares in this solo episode about the very real and even very helpful power of your fears. Those fears that hold us back, keep us small, have us hide and stop ourselves from being and shining in our full light. What are they really about? Could they be something more than a voice or feeling that stops us from doing and being what we truly want to do and be? Could their meaning be deeper than that and in fact a sign that we are on the threshold of someth...

Sometimes when we talk about things like developing confidence and sovereignty and being in charge of our own life, the narrative around that can make it sound somewhat easy. Make this decision! Change your mindset! Choose a different path! And while all of those things, and many more, may indeed help, it does not mean that the changes or transitions or releasing they require are actually easy, or feel great all the time. My guest on The Priestess Podcast today, Erika Cramer, is known as the Que...

If you are anything like me, then you grew up in a household where you were told that being a ‘good girl’ was very important. And in fact, it was the most important thing you could be and along with it all things such as sweet, giving, forgiving and more. My guest on The Priestess Podcast today, Majo Molfino, is here to share with us about this good girl myth and how it can be damaging to our soul purpose, vitality, and how we show up in the world everyday. Majo also reassures us that the good g...

Boundaries. Hmmmm. We all need them right? We know they are a good thing. That in fact they can elevate our life, confidence, relationships and so much more. But knowing such things and actually implementing them as a conscious practice into our being and world, is a whole other thing all together. My guest on The Priestess Podcast today is psychotherapist Terri Cole, and she’s here to guide us into a new relationship with boundaries, one that is sovereign, self-determined and has our spiritual ...

There comes a time for all of us in our lives where we may need to undergo a complete inner transformation or even clean out of some kind. In fact, we may need to undergo or do such a thing many times. My Priestess Podcast guest today, Elaine So, calls this an inner revolution, and she has made it part of her life’s work to support women undergoing this transition. Elaine speaks to us today about this revolutionary undertaking and how it involves de-conditioning, curiosity, awareness, tapping in...

My guest on The Priestess Podcast today, Lee Noto, believes there is a High Priestess in all of us. Now that may feel or seem hard to believe for some of you which I fully appreciate, but when you listen in to Lee and her own priestess journey and her embodiment of this archetype in life, sexuality, health, creativity and life purpose, I have a feeling you may just see a little bit - or even a lot of yourself - in her words. Let’s dive into the deep and rich world of the High Priestess Archetype...

Host of The Priestess Podcast Julie Parker shares in this solo episode the spiritual (and life) lessons that can reveal themselves to us when we feel uncomfortable. No one necessarily enjoys feeling uncomfortable, but within the experience there can be so many lessons for us about self-care, perfectionism, tolerance and grace. Where do we project? Where do we overreact? Where do we bypass? Where do we bury? And what are the genuine benefits not just for us as an individual, but indeed all of hum...

Is your soul purpose in life all about what you do? Who you are? A combination of both? Or maybe even neither? Such are the questions of life, love and the Universe that we are exploring today on The Priestess Podcast with my guest Sahara Rose. Sahara’s take on your life legacy and what you are truly here to unveil about yourself in your life and spiritual journey is filled with wisdom.

Why are people so afraid of being anti-racist? How can that be the case when it is something that so many of us desire to do? This is the question we explore deeply on The Priestess Podcast today with my guest diversity, equity and inclusion coach Trudi Lebron. You are about to dive into fear, failure, perfectionism, white supremacy, oppressive systems, busting out of the good girl persona and learning to be accepting of discomfort and getting things wrong. It’s only when we do so that we can ho...

You are worthy. This I know. But do you know it? My amazing guest on The Priestess Podcast today is Thais Sky and she is devoted to supporting women around the world with something she calls ‘The Worthiness Wound.’ It is a wound that many of us can hold deep within and it impacts how we see ourselves, relate to others, love, work and transition through life. The good news is that any worthiness wound you may carry can be healed, and Thais is with us today to inspire us to release shame, what is ...

The impact that Stacey Demarco has had in the international realm of modern witchcraft cannot be underestimated. She is an international best selling author, oracle card creator, speaker and metaphysicist who after finding herself very successful but unfulfilled corporate career, embraced her Pagan nature and love of the natural world to bring forth her gifts as a witch. The thing I love most about Stacey is how truly grounded and practical she is, something that you will soon learn about her in...

Many times when we think of stories, I often wonder if our mind wanders to children and our experiences of being a child hearing or reading stories, or maybe reading a story to a child now. We don’t often stop to consider how powerful stories are for us as adults and what role they may play in our own lives, spiritual development, journeying and connection with others. My guest on The Priestess Podcast today - Annie Gichuru - is a very special story teller. She is shifting the paradigm of storyt...

You are intuitive. You know that right? Even if your intuition may feel distant to you or even a bit ‘off’ at times, or even many times, you still are an intuitive soul. We all are in our own way. And it is the amazing work of my guest today on The Priestess Podcast - Natalie Miles - who is making it a part of her life’s work to ensure that you not only know this about yourself, but should you desire, you cultivate it deeply as well. And for any of you who know what it is like to be very attuned...

When I first read the words ‘Goddess Ministry’ I felt transported into a beautiful world of possibility and hope - for both our present and future. I see the healing of our world to be so deeply connected to the power of people reclaiming their innately divine and spiritual nature. People who believe in community, collective care, the facing head on of injustice and inequality, and the opening of pathways for us all to heal - and compassionately witness others do the same. And so it’s not going ...
