S13 | Intimate Conversations: Embracing Magic, Nature & the Underworld with Kate Joyner
I've coached for more than 20 years. And every step of the way I've had several coaches who reveal my blind spots, encourage me to move beyond my edges, and enhance my mastery which I'm honored to pay forward with breathtaking results for my cherished clients.
Most of these coaches have been one-on-one, yet every few years I join a group coaching program and meet phenomenal colleagues. In my current teacher trainer coaching program with John Wineland, right out of the gate a lovely woman reached out from the UK saying she felt a special connection to me and wanted to get to know each other better. Wow. Talk about feeling seen and valued.
Now for over a year we've been connecting before or after the live workshops for dinner or even a trip to the Turkish baths, as well as checking in online with each other's brave, soulful journeys. Kate Joyner is a true blessing in my life and what a treat to dive deeper into her magic and mastery Live in Mallorca, Spain for the podcast.
In this beautiful. delicious, witchy, intimate conversation we discussed...
-How she's lived on the edge of a national protected forest for several years communing in sacred relationship with nature.
-How as women we've lost our magic, magic that originated in the temples and when persecuted, we fled to the forests, hunted and hiding our light, wisdom and Magic, fearing for our lives.
-How we can't truly lose our magic forever, it's in there- she helps to ignite it in extraordinary rituals, ceremonies, practices, initiations and celebrations she facilitates globally as women reclaim their true essence.
-How she fully embraces the transformative power of the shadow, the darkness, the underworld, and craves of romantic life partner who can meet her there and even take her deeper.
-How our true light is found through embracing our dark emotions, the depth of our underworld, our messiness, letting go of control, all of it is the path to light and love.
-How she's committed to deeply honoring her intuition as she makes choices from her knowing not her mind, such as living in South America after her father passed and now, leaving that beautiful forest knowing her time there is complete as she embraces moving back to the States.
-How in my opinion, her embracing of her Darkness is so alluring, she's deeply joyful as opposed to surface happy, she's trustable because she won't bullshit you, she's an accurate barometer of Truth and I'm honored and delighted to call her my sister.
