  • Reclaiming My Inner Goddess

    Dianne Shepard is a goddess-send! This was a fantastic episode, reminding us that we all have—and have always had!—goddess energy inside us. The 5 sacred codes to reclaim the inner goddess really helped me look at myself and identify which of these 5 areas I need to step into, and Dianne also includes actual tools in this episode you can do right along with her. Highly recommend this podcast!!

  • Pleasure as Spiritual Practice

    The Sacred Feminine as a serious endeavor is a new concept for me and I really appreciate Dianne’s warm, low-key style. My favorite episodes are those including a “micro practice”.

    Another resource is Dianne’s website that has interesting videos on various topics. I also purchased her Jade Egg Bundle and have found it very helpful.

  • Beautiful message

    I listened to the episode on activating your feminine magic, which truly resonated with me as a woman approaching 60. I found Dianne’s words to be both a soothing balm and an invigorating tonic – yes, we are the medicine! We have everything within us just waiting to be tapped into and utilised for a more powerful, sensual, joyful life.

The Lost Art of Self-Devotion — Pleasure, Nourishment & the Initiation of Midlife with Jenny Glick
Q: So I'd love to hear you speak to that initiation of midlife and menopause.
Midlife is a personal initiation that can unfold differently for everyone; it can be navigated through a Jungian individuation process, honoring your own pace, and choosing pathways—whether that includes hormones or not—that feel true to you and your body. The aim is to become more original and self-possessed, not to fit a single template.
Healing & Thriving for Cycle-Breaking Women With Trauma Expert Carla Shohet
Q: How does trauma get passed on through generations?
Generational trauma is the unhealed emotional wounds passed down, not just through DNA, but through patterns in behaviors, emotional dynamics, and attachment styles.
