Shannon Russell is on a mission to show women there's a better way.In this enlightening conversation, career transition coach Shannon Russell shares her journey from a 16-year veteran of television production to a successful entrepreneur and author. After missing too many birthdays and bedtimes with her young children, Shannon made the bold decision to leave her Hollywood career and create something entirely new—what she calls her "second act."What makes this conversation particularly valuable is Shannon's candid discussion of creating personalized exit strategies.

*Note: This is the Free Content version of my interview with Veronica French. To access the entire episode, please consider becoming a Tier 2 'Groves of Orpheus' member on Patreon, or you can purchase this episode for a one-time fee. My guest this month is Veronica French. Veronica has an MA in Religious Studies from the University of Erfurt, Germany. She specializes in the study of modern shamanism, anthropology of religion and gender studies. Her master's thesis explored how modern shamans living in Germany define a “shaman way” and their turning point or crisis, which informs their “shamanic journey.” Her undergraduate work was in medical anthropology with a focus on shamanic techniques and Chinese 5 Element, in which she explored the scholar/practitioner position. She presented previously at the 8th Biannual Conference of the European Society for the Study of Western Esotericism (ESSWE) with the paper “Performative Strategies of Creative Esotericism in 19th Century Jewish Communities” (Cork, Ireland, 2022); XXXI International Summer School on Religion Women and Religions with the paper “Modern Shamanism, Empowerment and Green Religion: Contemporary Shamanic Practice in Germany” (San Gimignano, Italy, 2024); and the International Theosophical History Conference 2024 with the paper “Modern Shamanism, Theosophy and Ecological Spirituality: Connecting Nature Spiritualities” (Ascona, Switzerland, 2024). Veronica also presented at three seminars at the University of Erfurt: “Initial Shamanic Interviews” University of Erfurt, Master's Thesis Colloquium (2023); “Green Religion and Indigeneity in Popular Media,”University of Erfurt, Green Religion? Answers to Climate Change from the Perspective of Religious Studies (2023); and “Ethnographic Work of Shamanic Practice in Eastern Germany,” University of Erfurt, Master's Writing Seminar (2023).In this discussion, Veronica shares her background and inspiration for her research into modern shamanism. We talk a bit about the terms shamanism and animism, as these are somewhat contested within academia, and Veronica shares how she is using these terms in her work. She explains what questions she was asking at the outset of her project, and also the surprising additions that arose once she started interviewing her participants. Veronica also notes the interesting data that she gathered regarding topics such as gender, identity, “lived religion,” and ecology. As Veronica has her own experience within the concept known as a the holistic milieu (referring to a broad and diverse spiritual landscape that encompasses various New Age and alternative spiritual practices; often contrasted with traditional religious institutions, as it focuses on personal spirituality, self-development, and holistic well-being rather than formal doctrines or organized worship), she found she was able to relate well to the experiences of her participants, and this aspect has led her to consider continuing her research using the method known as autoethnography. This is a qualitative research method that combines autobiographical storytelling with ethnographic analysis. It allows researchers to use their personal experiences to explore and critique cultural beliefs, practices, and social phenomena. Veronica talks about other scholars in the field who have been using this method, and how it is becoming more accepted within academia. If anyone has any questions or comments for Veronica, please post them here or contact me via email and I can pass these on to her. She welcomes further feedback and discussion! Veronica was also very kind to share some references for futher reading; please see this below. PROGRAM NOTESReferences:Olivia Cejan: "Arts and Crafts Divine" is her dissertation utilizing autoethnography and pedagogy to write about a secret society group. Talk at Copenhagen Conference:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4g2qvGcy5pY&t=524sCorrine Sombrun: -Her institute: https://trancescience.org/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4oDs10hUy6ETrailer to her movie; English subtitlesTed Talk:English subtitleshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ym0kIECFi0Uhttps://amara.org/videos/Tcvokh51yb2Y/en/1543652/?tab=revisionsAnother interview with English (Google)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Syy4MTHAfF4 Alice Ahern: Phd Cork Ireland, studying shamanism and pop culture:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCCeV7MLtFcYoutube talk:  "The Reclamation of Feminine Wisdom in the Irish Neo-Shamanic Milieu" Traditional Religions view on Nature Religions:https://fore.yale.edu/Event-Listings/Religions-World-and-Ecology-Conference-Series/Religions-World-and-Ecology-Archivehttps://fore.yale.edu/sites/default/files/files/annual_review_environment.pdfBibliography :Eliade, Mircea.

What if the wisdom you're seeking has been within you all along? That quiet, steady voice nudging you toward your true path isn't just wishful thinking—it's your intuition speaking. But how do we distinguish between fear-based thoughts and authentic inner guidance?Intuitive consultant Jenn Cohen joins us to explore the transformative power of intuition, particularly during midlife transitions. Drawing from her years collaborating with major studios like DreamWorks and NBC Universal, Jen reveals how intuition operates as our "first sense" rather than merely a sixth sense—a natural faculty we all possess but often neglect.The conversation delves into practical ways to recognize when you're ignoring your intuitive signals. Those feelings of irritation, exhaustion, and constant second-guessing? They're clues you're resisting your inner wisdom. Jen expertly distinguishes between the constriction of fear and the expansive clarity of intuition: "Intuition is not here for smallness, it's here for greatness."For those in midlife particularly, this episode offers a refreshing perspective on how intuition becomes even more valuable as we accumulate wisdom and life experience. As Jen reminds us, this natural guidance system can help us navigate career transitions, relationships, and daily decisions with greater ease, authenticity, and purpose—if only we learn to listen.Bio For as long as Jenn Cohen can remember, she's been drawn to the intuitive and psychic realm. That curiosity deepened at age 20 when her father passed away suddenly. On the night of his funeral, she asked aloud, “Are you here?”—and watched as a bedside lamp turned on and off repeatedly. In that moment, she knew without question he was with her.Since then, subtle signs and messages from the other side have continued to guide her. While she didn't always listen, she noticed that when she shared these experiences, people were deeply moved—curious, silent, and comforted.After 27 years in the Entertainment Industry, she realized her most powerful and transformational moments came from deeper, intuitive connections. Though leaving the corporate world wasn't easy, and fear showed up loudly, she began to question the old narratives she had believed for so long.Once she chose to fully trust her intuition, everything changed. She launched her business as an Intuitive Consultant and now uses her abilities to help others gain clarity, overcome obstacles, and live more fulfilling lives.Website InstagramWe hope you have enjoyed this episode.

Have you noticed a sudden shift in your body after menopause, despite maintaining your usual exercise routine? That unexplained weight around your middle, loss of muscle tone, and decreased energy isn't your imagination—it's your hormones working against you.Award-winning fitness coach Ashley Selman reveals the missing piece of the midlife fitness puzzle that most women never hear about: as estrogen drops during menopause, human growth hormone (HGH) plummets alongside it. This hormonal double-whammy explains why traditional workouts stop delivering results after 45, and why some exercise approaches might actually be making things worse.The good news? There's a scientifically-proven training method that can reverse these changes by naturally stimulating HGH production—without requiring heavy weights, intense impact, or hours at the gym. Blood Flow Restriction training has been used safely for decades in medical settings and is now becoming accessible to everyday women looking to reclaim their strength, energy and body composition during midlife.Through this enlightening conversation, you'll discover why muscle truly is your friend after 45, how to activate the specific muscle fibers that diminish with age, and why just 20 minutes three times weekly can transform how you feel and function. Ready to stop fighting your changing hormones and start working with them?

What if everything you've been told about weight loss is wrong? The story of Sheila Kelty will transform how you think about health and weight management forever. From an electric wheelchair, facing imminent death with lupus, diabetes, and 130 extra pounds—to vibrant health without exercising. This isn't just another weight loss story; it's a complete paradigm shift.The traditional weight loss narrative revolves around willpower, calorie counting, and intense workouts. Yet these approaches often fail us, especially as we age. Sheila reveals why "calories in, calories out" is a fundamentally flawed concept and how high-intensity workouts can actually trigger hormonal responses that cause weight gain. The $76 billion diet industry thrives on our failure—your struggle isn't a willpower issue; it's built into their business model.Sheila's approach focuses on optimizing overall health rather than just attacking symptoms. By addressing the root causes of weight gain—from hormonal imbalances to gut health—the body naturally releases excess weight without deprivation or punishment. This is about creating sustainable lifestyle changes that become effortless over time, not white-knuckling through another temporary diet.Ready to transform your relationship with food, exercise, and your body? The Vibe Reboot Summer Challenge starting May 27th offers a six-week program scientifically designed to help you release 10-15 pounds while addressing the underlying factors that have kept you stuck. Previous participants collectively lost over 100 pounds and 17 feet off their bodies. Don't miss this opportunity to join a supportive community and discover what's truly possible for your health.BioSheila Keilty is a globally recognized Optimal Health Expert with over 10 years of experience and 20,000+ coaching hours dedicated to helping women achieve vibrant health and lasting transformation. A Board-Certified Master Health & Wellness Coach, Gut Microbiome Specialist, and Mindfulness Meditation Instructor, she blends science-backed strategies with compassionate, personalized support.Her journey from chronic illness, wheelchair dependence, and a 130-pound weight loss to sustained wellness is the foundation of her powerful “Reboot Method.” This signature program has helped thousands of women break free from dieting cycles, restore their health, and embrace energy, confidence, and renewed purpose.Sheila's holistic, evidence-based approach continues to inspire women worldwide.

Ever noticed how your brain tries to convince you that overthinking is just part of the process?  In this illuminating conversation with psychotherapist Lindsey Carnick, we unravel the fascinating paradox at the heart of anxiety and overthinking.Lindsey introduces a powerful metaphor that might forever change how you view anxious feelings: anxiety is merely an alarm system, not the threat itself. Just like a smoke detector that goes off when you're cooking or taking a hot shower, our internal alarm systems frequently signal problems that don't actually exist. The key isn't to fear the alarm but to recognize it as information that might—or might not—require action.We explore why thinking has become our go-to strategy for everything (it's been tremendously successful in most areas of life!), and why this same strategy fails us miserably when applied to our emotional world. The feelings and thoughts can coexist without reinforcing each other, a skill that takes practice but offers tremendous freedom.The most valuable takeaway might be Lindsay's simple but profound question for breaking free from overthinking spirals: "Is it happening right now?" Our minds create vivid "mind movies" about potential futures that trigger real physiological responses to imagined scenarios. Learning to anchor ourselves in the present moment offers a gentle off-ramp from these mental loops.For anyone struggling with anxiety, overthinking, or the tendency to stuff emotions, this conversation offers practical tools, compassionate insights, and a new framework for understanding your mind's patterns. You'll walk away with specific strategies to create space between reactions and responses, honor your feelings without being ruled by them, and recognize when your thinking isn't serving you.We hope you have enjoyed this episode.

When the unexpected diagnosis of Lewy body dementia struck Carla Preyers's husband, she found herself thrust into a role she never anticipated. "The journey chose me," she explains, recounting the four-year battle for a proper diagnosis and the profound challenges that followed. This conversation reveals the often-invisible struggles caregivers face when supporting loved ones with dementia.The emotional heart of this episode lies in Carla's honest discussion of caregiver self-preservation. Her commitment to morning prayers, positive environments, and regular exercise wasn't just about wellness—it was survival. "I had to manage my energy," she shares, explaining how negativity directed at someone with dementia "comes back to you triple." Her story has now found wider resonance through the documentary "Facing the Wind," executive produced by Yo-Yo Ma, Yolanda Wong, and David Hyde Pierce, which chronicles the journey of dementia caregivers across America.Are you caring for someone with cognitive decline or concerned about a loved one showing symptoms? Reach out to Carla through the links on our show page to learn how you might bring the "Facing the Wind" documentary to your community and join the growing advocacy movement for better dementia care and caregiver support.Carla's Story My husband, Patrick Preyer, was diagnosed with Lewy Body Dementia in 2018. For eight years, I walked alongside him as his caregiver until his peaceful transition in January 2023. Through heartbreak and healing, I learned how vital faith, community, and support are—especially for caregivers who often feel invisible.That journey is now told in the documentary Facing the Wind, which candidly captures our experience with dementia, caregiving, and the importance of self-care.

What if your body already knows how to heal itself, and your brain just needs to get out of the way? After 27 years of debilitating chronic illness—including lupus, chemical sensitivities, and chronic fatigue syndrome—wellness coach Lori Clemmons discovered the transformative power of neuroplasticity when conventional treatments failed her.In this enlightening conversation, Lori reveals how she went from being homebound and sometimes bedridden to hiking, jogging, and living vibrantly by retraining her brain. The key? Calming her overactive limbic system—the part of the brain constantly scanning for threats—through mindful practices like forest bathing, meditation, and positive thought redirection. As she explains, when we shift from constant fight-or-flight mode to a state of relaxation, our bodies produce healing neurotransmitters instead of stress hormones, giving us the energy needed for recovery.For anyone struggling with chronic conditions, sleep issues, or the natural changes of aging, this episode offers compassionate, practical guidance for making peace with your body. Lori's "compassionate self-coaching" approach teaches how to take small, sustainable steps toward healing rather than overwhelming yourself with massive changes. Whether you're dealing with persistent health challenges or simply want to approach aging with grace and vitality, this conversation illuminates how changing your relationship with your brain can transform your relationship with your body.What small step could you take today to begin rewiring your wellness?Bio Lori Clemmons is a compassionate Wellness Coach, chronic illness survivor, and author of Rewire Your Wellness: A Holistic Guide to Healing Chronic Pain, Anxiety, and Fatigue. After overcoming over 25 years of chronic health challenges, including Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia, Lori now dedicates her life to helping women reclaim their health and vitality. By blending personal experience with cutting-edge neuroscience, she empowers women to rewire their brains for wellness, balance their emotional and physical health, and break free from cycles of pain and fatigue. Through her holistic, science-backed approach, Lori inspires hope and equips women with practical tools for sustainable health transformation.Free Ebook - Rewire Your IllnessFacebook YouTube Channel We hope you have enjoyed this episode.

When was the last time your doctor mentioned your soul during treatment? I'm willing to bet never—and that's precisely the problem Dr. Catherine Kelly addresses in this profound conversation about what's missing from modern medicine and psychology."The father of medicine, Hippocrates, said the soul is present in every illness and every organ over 2,000 years ago. Carl Jung said the same for psychology. But where is it now?" Dr. Kelly asks. As a former medical school professor, she witnessed firsthand how the soul has been systematically removed from our healing traditions despite being the most foundational aspect of who we are.In this eye-opening discussion, we explore the Soul Health Model—a revolutionary framework visualizing our wellbeing as a tree with ten essential branches, including physical, psychological, interpersonal, financial, sexual, and recreational health. For practitioners interested in incorporating soul health into their work, Dr. Kelly shares details about her new certification program designed to bring this missing dimension back to healing professions. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, feeling disconnected, or simply curious about a more holistic approach to well-being, this episode offers a refreshing perspective on how reconnecting with your soul might be the missing piece in your healing journey.Bio Dr. Katherine Kelly, is a licensed psychologist in her own psychotherapy, soul-healing/coaching and consulting practice in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. She completed her Bachelor's Degree in Psychology from the University of Southern Colorado (1992) and both her Master's (1995) and Doctorate in Counseling Psychology (1999) from Indiana State University. She also earned a Master of Science in Public Health degree (2000) from the University of Missouri-Columbia, where she completed a Post-Doctoral Fellowship in the university's Department of Family and Community Medicine. She has received specialized training from the Mind-Body Medical Institute of Harvard University and has been trained in various holistic, natural health, and spiritual methods of healing, including nutritional psychotherapy, aromatherapy, Pranic Healing, Reiki, Soul Realignmen,t and other practices. Her dedication to healing has been widely recognized as she was the recipient of the Provider of the Year Award by the regional Mental Health Association and was nominated as an Incredible Woman for a local community television network, which spotlights role models to inspire young women to pursue their own passions.Website and Social Media drkatherinetkelly.comSoul Heal https://drkatherinetkelly.com/level-one-soul-health-certification/We hope you have enjoyed this episode.

Postpartum doula Foster Wilson guides us through this delicate family transition with wisdom that bridges generations.Foster reveals that the most valuable contribution family members can make isn't what most expect. "Being of service in these early times helps build the bond with your child as they are transforming from woman to mother," she explains. "The bonding with your grandchild will certainly come, but those early weeks it's so important for mom to have her bonding with her child."This conversation tackles the practical realities of modern family support systems. With families often separated by distance and grandparents working longer, Foster offers strategies for supporting new parents both in-person and from afar. She emphasizes understanding your personal strengths—whether cooking nutrient-dense meals, providing emotional support, or handling household tasks—and using them to genuinely serve the new family.Foster encourages a mindset shift: while you may have experience with childbirth and parenting, your child is experiencing this for the first time. Being curious about their approach rather than imposing your own views creates space for their parenting journey. As she beautifully puts it, we need to create "circles of care" where the baby is at the center, the parents surround the baby, and extended family supports them all.Whether you're preparing to welcome a grandchild or supporting a sibling through new parenthood, this episode offers invaluable guidance for nurturing not just the new baby, but the transforming family as a whole.

What if, instead of fixating on what's left on your bucket list, you created an “anti-bucket list” of things you no longer need to do? This perspective-shifting idea comes from award-winning filmmaker Skye Bergman, who has gathered 3,000 years of collective wisdom from adults 75+ on how to live well.As milestone birthdays like 70 approach, many of us wonder if we'll have enough time to accomplish everything we desire. Bergman's documentary Lives Well-Lived and book Lives Well-Lived Generations challenge our youth-obsessed culture by showcasing vibrant, purposeful aging. Her research identifies four essential elements of a well-lived life: purpose, community, resilience, and positivity. Purpose evolves, especially after retirement, when professional identity shifts. The key is finding what truly brings joy—whether it's making mozzarella for your daughter's deli or volunteering to teach English. Bergman challenges ageist limitations with inspiring examples like her grandmother, who started working out at 80, and Ernestine Shepard, who became a champion bodybuilder in her 50s after losing loved ones to diabetes. These stories prove that age doesn't define what's possible.Bergman also highlights the power of intergenerational connections in combating isolation. Her monthly potluck dinners, bringing together women from ages 20 to 90, dissolve ageist divides and create a meaningful community.Ready to embrace aging on your own terms? It's time to create your anti-bucket list—letting go of what no longer serves you while embracing purpose, connection, and joy. Listen now to start redefining what's possible.Bio Sky Bergman is an accomplished, award-winning photographer. "Lives Well Lived" is Sky's directorial debut. The film is based upon her book "Lives Well-Lived Generations".Her fine art work is included in permanent collections at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, The Brooklyn Museum, the Seattle Art Museum, the Santa Barbara Museum of Art, and the Bibliothèque Nationale de France (National Library of France) in Paris.
