What if your intuition has been speaking all along, and the real work is simply learning to trust it?In this episode, Eileen sits down with Kelsey Anderson, an energy intuitive, author, and host of The Reclamation Podcast, whose path from corporate burnout to embodied spiritual practice mirrors so many of the journeys explored on this show. Kelsey's work through her community Reclamation Rising centers one core truth: the answers you're seeking outside of yourself were always within you.This conversation moves through postpartum awakening, the dangers of spiritual bypassing, the leap from corporate life, and what it actually means to come home to your body rather than escape it.In this episode:How Kelsey's body broke down in her mid-20s and launched her into spirituality out of sheer necessityThe good girl conditioning and masking that kept her performing rather than trustingWhy a true spiritual awakening is a homecoming to the body, not an escape from itPostpartum as a portal: how motherhood cracked open Kelsey's relationship with self-trust and interdependenceThe difference between strong and independent versus strong and interdependentIntuition as a threat to control: why women in their intuitive power become far less controllableLeaving corporate: how Kelsey went from two incomes to one, downsized everything, and built her work over seven yearsWhat to do if you want to live more intuitively but don't want to leave your corporate jobHow Kelsey's new book The Signal: Listen to Your Intuition Through the Noise of Modern Life arrived in five days of channeled writing she couldn't stop"When I trusted my inner voice, it was little pings, little whispers. Simple in the moment, but when you add them all up, it's compiled into your overall wellbeing."Visit Kelsey's websiteFollow Kelsey on Spotify Connect with Kelsey on InstagramSubscribe to Kelsey's YoutubeJoin me for the next Wheel of the Year CeremonySubscribe to Eileen on SubstackTake the Which Witch Are You QuizOrder Awaken to the Magic Within Connect with Eileen on Instagram Follow Eileen on Insight TimerSend Eileen an email

When did you last stop long enough to enjoy the fruits of your labour?In this solo episode, Eileen explores Lughnasadh, the ancient Celtic harvest festival, and the invitation it carries for our modern lives: to pause, look back, and actually celebrate how far we've come. Drawing on the mythology of the god Lugh and his foster mother Tailtiu, and the lens of Elise Loehnen's On Our Best Behavior: The Seven Deadly Sins and the Price Women Pay to Be Good, this episode looks honestly at why celebrating ourselves can feel dangerous, and what it might mean to finally let ourselves savour what we've accomplished.In this episode:-What Lughnasadh is, why it matters, and how to think about timing (August 1st, August 7th solar midpoint, or August 12th lunar — and why all of them work)-The three harvest festivals of the Wheel of the Year and how Lughnasadh sits as the first and most celebratory-The history of Lughnasadh as a season of fairs, markets, games, and community gathering and why it held its traditions longer than almost any other point on the wheel-The mythology of Tailtiu: who she was, what she sacrificed, and what Lugh's games in her honor ask of us today-Why rushing past our achievements without celebrating them is a form of disrespect, both to ourselves and to those whose sacrifices made it possible-Pride as a "sin" and how that conditioning keeps women especially from claiming what they've built-Sloth as a "sin" and the fear underneath it: if I slow down, I might not start again-A practical invitation to look back at the last six months and name what you've actually grown"She worked herself to death so that we don't have to. To honor her, I think we should be enjoying... the fruits of our labours"Join me for the next Wheel of the Year CeremonySubscribe to Eileen on SubstackTake the Which Witch Are You QuizOrder Awaken to the Magic Within Connect with Eileen on Instagram Follow Eileen on Insight Timer Send Eileen an email

What if the most revolutionary thing you can do right now is introduce yourself to your neighbor and ask to borrow some salt?In this episode, Eileen is joined by Amber and Taylar, co-hosts of the Waking Up the Witch podcast — a storytelling show exploring life, death, religion, spirituality, sex, magic, and everything in between. Amber owns Moon Be's Wellness, a witchy brick-and-mortar boutique in southern Oregon, and is a Reiki master and psychic gifts teacher. Taylar is a hairstylist, community connector, and self-described magic-maker who believes her gift is helping people see their own power. Together they also run Moonlight and Magic, an events company bringing witchy community together in person.This conversation wanders beautifully through spiritual origin stories, the return of village culture, what manifestation actually means when you strip away the toxic positivity, and why authenticity might be the most powerful thing any of us can offer the collective right now.In this episode:-Amber's origin story: a Wiccan mom, healing oils made from kitchen spices as a child, Reiki, and the psychic gifts she once thought were a curse-Taylar's path: Catholic kindergarten, The Secret, a psychic hairstylist, too much wine, one shared microphone, and a podcast born from pure curiosity-Why the witch wound still shows up in how we hide ourselves, even from the people closest to us-The difference between fitting in and authentic belonging, and how living authentically is what plugs you into the collective circuit board-Why the law of attraction falls short without community, action, and reckoning with systemic harm-Victory Gardens, borrowing cups of sugar, and why the village is both the antidote and the answer-The healing that can only happen in relationship, not in solo inner work-Asking for help as a radical act, especially for women conditioned to never be a burden-Why spirituality doesn't have to be serious: it can be lipstick at the grocery store, a bird outside your window, or dancing at the gay club on Saturday"Get comfortable being uncomfortable. That's what leads you to the parts you're supposed to be in this world, in your community, in the revolution." — Amber"Spirituality can be silly and playful and messy.

What happens when the thing you think will finally make you lovable, the right look, the right body, the right approval, never actually arrives?In this episode, Eileen has a conversation with Whitney Walker, licensed marriage and family therapist, recovery coach, and host of the Women Waken podcast. Whitney specializes in addiction, eating disorders, trauma, and spirituality, and she doesn't shy away from her own story: severe bullying, a debilitating eating disorder, addiction, and a self-worth built entirely on external validation that nearly broke her in her early twenties.This conversation traces Whitney's path from that rock bottom to recovery, sobriety, and a spiritual awakening rooted in self-love, and widens out into a larger conversation about the return of the divine feminine, sovereignty, and what a more conscious, balanced society could look like.In this episode:-Whitney's years of disordered eating, addiction, and the belief that being attractive was the only path to being loved-The therapist who first asked her, "Isn't there more to you than your appearance?"-The book and quote that cracked something open: "Trying to love yourself from the outside in is a doomed prospect"-Why getting sober and healing her relationship with food opened the door to a spiritual path-A trip to the UK that connected Whitney to her Scottish, English, and Irish ancestry, and the calling that followed: bring women together-The difference between conscious and unconscious masculine and feminine energy-Sovereignty as the most powerful tool available to any human right now-Why systems built on greed and exploitation are inherently unstable, and what might take their place-The role of truth and transparency in personal and collective healing"The greatest wisdom you can ever find is within you. You are your own greatest source of wisdom." — Whitney WalkerWhitney's Website: Www.Womenwaken.com Find Witney's Podcast on Apple or Spotify Subscribe to Witney's Youtube channelConnect with Witney on Instagram Follow Whitney on Facebook Join Whitney on LinkedInJoin me for the next Wheel of the Year CeremonySubscribe to Eileen on SubstackTake the Which Witch Are You QuizOrder Awaken to the Magic Within Connect with Eileen on Instagram Follow Eileen on Insight Timer Send Eileen an email

"I don't belong anywhere." If you've ever felt this way, even in a space that felt safe and welcoming, this episode is for you.In this solo episode, Eileen explores why so many women feel like outsiders even in rooms full of people who love them, and unpacks the crucial difference between fitting in and true belonging. Drawing from a recurring pattern she's witnessed inside the Wise Wild Woman Mentorship, and from her own lifelong relationship with this exact wound, Eileen breaks down why belonging has to start as an inside job, and why vulnerability, as uncomfortable as it is, is the only real path there.In this episode:The difference between fitting in (which requires shrinking) and belonging (which requires showing up)The two reasons "nobody understands me" often feels true, and what to do about each oneWhy self-knowledge and self-acceptance have to come before belonging to othersThe question most of us have never asked ourselves: what do I actually want, outside of what's expected of me?Why vulnerability never stops feeling vulnerable, and what we're actually building when we practice itDiscernment in vulnerability: why it matters who you open up to, and how to ask if someone has capacityThe fear of being "a burden," and why that fear so often keeps us from the connection we're cravingHow practicing vulnerability gives other people permission to do the same"In order to belong, we must feel understood. And in order to be understood, we must be willing to show up and share ourselves."Join me for the next Wheel of the Year CeremonySubscribe to Eileen on SubstackTake the Which Witch Are You QuizOrder Awaken to the Magic Within Connect with Eileen on Instagram Follow Eileen on Insight Timer Send Eileen an email

What if the most radical spiritual act available to you right now is saying hello to your neighbor?In this episode, Eileen is joined by Stephanie Keiko Kong — public speaking and digital marketing strategy coach, theater artist, yoga therapist, and community weaver whose practice centers BIPOC, femme, and queer thought leaders. Growing up in Hawaii with a deep land-based relationship to the natural world, Stephanie brings a perspective on spirituality that is at once ancient, practical, and quietly revolutionary.This conversation wanders beautifully in ways that will light up your mind and body. From Sanskrit mantra and self-hypnosis to the psychedelic power of group singing, from the colonization of our bodies to the radical simplicity of hyper-local community care. It's one to sit with and return to.In this episode:Growing up in Hawaii with a land-based spiritual practice and the heartbreak of realizing not everyone lives this wayThe divine mundane: how a cup of tea, a Beyonce song, or a slice of bread can be a portal to the sacredYears of dedicated Sanskrit mantra study and the humbling moment of realizing she'd been missing the whole pointThe "transcendence bias" hiding inside Western interpretations of Eastern spiritual traditionsSelf-hypnosis, group singing, and drumming at 147 BPM... a few of the many doorways into non-ordinary states of realityWhy plant medicine is compelling for so many Westerners, and what it offers that hasn't yet been colonized"Severance from land is empire's first consent violation" — a teaching from Ihilani Cho that reframes everythingThe magic of hyper-local community care and why change at that scale is both simple and inevitableCuriosity as a revolutionary practice, a spiritual foundation, and the prerequisite for genuine compassionPlaying Hamlet as the Hawaii Shakespeare Festival's first ever non-binary Hamlet, and what that meant for the queer arts community in Honolulu"Thank you for staying curious in a world that would rather have you smile and nod and shut up." — Stephanie Keiko KongFind Stephanie on InstagramSign up for Stephanie's email list at her website Check out Stephanie's upcoming program Liberatory Leadership beginning in late July Join me for the next Wheel of the Year CeremonySubscribe to Eileen on SubstackTake the Which Witch Are You QuizOrder Awaken to the Magic WithinConnect with Eileen on Instagram Follow Eileen on Insight Timer Send Eileen an email

What happens when spirituality teaches you to transcend your body but doesn't teach you how to return to it?In this episode, Eileen sits down with Cynthia Abulafia, author, educator, yoga therapist, and longtime student of the goddess traditions of Tantra. Cynthia's debut book Embodying the Goddess challenges what she calls the transcendence bias of patriarchal spirituality: the pervasive idea that the body, emotions, and sensory experience are somehow less sacred than stillness, silence, and transcendence. What she offers instead is a path of radical integration. Climbing the ladder both up into transcendence and back down into form.This conversation goes deep, fast. From Kundalini awakening to the bargains we make with our own hearts, from the exploitation hiding inside Neo-Tantra to the surprising power of devotion in a post-religious world, this is one to sit with.In this episode:* The "transcendence bias", why so many spiritual traditions teach us to leave the body rather than inhabit it* What Kundalini awakening actually is, and what a spiritual crisis can teach us* The goddess traditions of Tantra and why most of their sacred texts still aren't translated or publicly available* What the divine feminine is not, and how Cynthia defines it (hint: it's about the capacity to hold opposites)* "Bargaining the heart", the invisible contracts we make without knowing it, and how finishing the sentence "I will be happy when..." is the key* Why 25% of Westerners now identify as spiritual but not religious and what we've thrown out with the bathwater* Curiosity as a spiritual practice, a political act, and a path back into connection* The Celtic thread: how the goddess tradition in Irish mythology shows a radically different relationship between sovereignty and the land"Notice what you notice. Honestly, that's the whole teaching." — Cynthia AbulafiaVisit Cynthia's websiteConnect with Cynthia on InstagramJoin me for the next Wheel of the Year CeremonySubscribe to Eileen on SubstackTake the Which Witch Are You QuizOrder Awaken to the Magic Connect with Eileen on InstagramFollow Eileen on Insight TimerSend Eileen an email

Summer solstice is here, the longest, brightest day of the year. The time known as Midsummer throughout ancient Europe. In this solo episode, Eileen explores the mythology, energetics, and seasonal wisdom of this luminous peak moment on the Wheel of the Year, and weaves in a teaching that's very much alive in the Wise Wild Woman Mentorship right now: the radical, necessary act of play.In this episode:* The Celtic Wheel of the Year and why Summer Solstice is called Midsummer even though we know it as the beginning of summer today* The Oak King and the Holly King and the mythological battle at the heart of the solstices* A brief look at the two primary Celtic deities associated with this turn of the wheel: Áine (Awn-yeh), Irish sun goddess and Fairy Queen of the Tuatha Dé Danann, and Lugh, the Shining One* Why the veil thins at midsummer and what Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream has to do with it* The science of play and what the National Institute for Play's research reveals about why adults need it as much as children do* How we were slowly conditioned to believe play is indulgent, childish, or something to be earned* Why play can feel genuinely unsafe for women whose nervous systems learned that worthiness is tied to productivity and usefulness to others* Small, accessible ways to weave play back into your daily life this season"We put rest off 'until...'. We put play off 'until...:'.  And that 'until' never comes."

What if the patterns you've been trying to heal don't actually originate with you?In this episode, Eileen is joined by Dr. Meher Chahal, former psychiatry resident turned ancestral healing practitioner, astrologer, and author of Unlicensed Medicine. Dr. Chahal left Western psychiatry after realizing the system was designed to treat symptoms, not reach their root. What followed was a profound personal and professional journey through family constellations, somatic work, shadow work, and what she calls psychological alchemy.Her story led her to a framework for transforming the heaviest parts of your lineage into your greatest source of power.In this episode:-What family constellations actually are and why they're so difficult to explain until you experience them-The epigenetic science behind inherited trauma (hint: when your grandmother was pregnant with your mother, you were already a cell in your mother's ovaries. Her stress was your stress)-Why you should never gaslight yourself with "but I grew up privileged" and what Pete Walker's work on complex PTSD reveals about premature gratitude-The difference between having awareness of your trauma and having genuine compassion for its effects-Why Dr. Chahal left psychiatry and what a pre-ulcer at residency taught her about living out of alignment-The thin line between "cycle breaker" identity and the humility that ancestral healing actually requires-How the witch wound connects to epigenetic and cultural trauma patterns"Give healing precedence, but also give life precedence. One of the ways to leave the past behind is to give the future a chance." — Dr. Meher ChahalVisit Dr. Chahal's websiteConnect with Dr. Chahal on InstagramJoin Eileen at the next Wheel of the Year CeremonyTake the Which Witch Are You QuizOrder Awaken to the Magic WithinConnect with Eileen on InstagramFollow Eileen on Insight TimerSend Eileen an email

Have you ever lain awake at 4am, counting down the hours of sleep you're losing and planning for all the worst case scenarios? In this solo episode, Eileen shares the mindset shift that changed everything for her, from fighting her circumstances to finding the gift within what she cannot change.Drawing on a sleepless early morning, the chaos of listing her house for sale, and the wisdom of the turning seasons, Eileen explores one of the most important distinctions she returns to again and again: the difference between acceptance and resignation.Resignation makes us victims of our circumstances. Acceptance makes us orchestrators of them. But how do we actually get there without bypassing what's hard or pretending everything is fine?In this episode:-Why acceptance is not the same as giving up and why that distinction matters deeply-The practice of listening to your body and actually acting on what she's asking for-How aligning with the natural rhythms of the seasons supports surrender and trust-What a 4am wake-up taught Eileen about equanimity, presence, and self-compassion-Why this time of year (Bealtaine through Summer Solstice) tends to disrupt sleep and how to work with it rather than against it"Resignation turns us into victims of our circumstance. Acceptance turns us into orchestrators of our circumstance."Join Eileen for a Summer Solstice Ceremony June 19th, 2026 (in-person in Calgary + online) Take the Which Witch Are You QuizOrder Awaken to the Magic WithinConnect with Eileen on InstagramFollow Eileen on Insight TimerSend Eileen an email
