The Power of Curiosity and Trusting Your Path with Teresa Wornstaff
The Art of Feminine Business with Julie Foucht
From the time we learn to talk, we’re often taught to quiet the whispers within and look outside ourselves for the answers. But as women creating business through the Divine Feminine, our inner knowing is part of the magic. It guides us through uncertainty, helps us recognize what is truly aligned, and brings us back to the deeper wisdom of who we are and what we’re here to create.

The Goddess Series: Part 6 – Embracing Kali: The Fierce Mother in Our Lives
The Art of Feminine Business with Julie Foucht
This is the final episode in our special Goddess series exploring the many faces of the Divine She, and we are ending with Kali, one of the fiercest expressions of the Divine Feminine. I’ll admit, Kali intimidated me at first. She is wild. Powerful. Unapologetic. She carries a sword, wears a necklace of severed heads, and doesn’t exactly fit our picture of the soft, gentle feminine. But the deeper Kathleen Joan and I went into her story, the more I fell in love with her. Because Kali’s destruction is not destruction for the sake of...

The Goddess Series: Part 5 - Sophia - The Divine Spark within Every Human Being
The Art of Feminine Business with Julie Foucht
In this episode, Kathleen Joan and I explore Sophia, the Divine Feminine embodiment of wisdom. Sophia is not simply knowledge. She is the deep knowing that helps us remember who we are, what we are called to do, and how we are meant to move through the world. Together, we explore Sophia as the wisdom that lives within the body, heart, mind, and soul. She invites us to become quiet enough to hear what is already there, curious enough to notice what keeps appearing, and brave enough to speak the truth we know. Sophia reminds us that wisdom is not something we...

The Goddess Series: Part 4 - Mary Magdalene as a Divine Feminine and Ascended Master
The Art of Feminine Business with Julie Foucht
In this episode of our Goddess series, Kathleen Joan and I explore Mary Magdalene, the woman behind the stories, her place in early Christianity, and why her presence still matters so deeply today. Mary Magdalene was a real woman who walked the earth. She was a devoted follower and the wife of Jesus, a spiritual leader in her own right, and a powerful presence in the resurrection story. And yet, over the centuries, her role was diminished, rewritten, and in many ways pushed to the edges. So Kathleen and I ask a different...

The Goddess Series: Part 3 - Persephone: Descent, Choice, and Returning to Joy
The Art of Feminine Business with Julie Foucht
In this episode, my co-host, Kathleen Joan, and I enter the story of Persephone, Goddess of descent, transformation, and return. Most of us know the old story. Persephone is taken into the Underworld, Demeter grieves, the earth stops growing, and eventually Persephone returns. But what if there is another way to understand her story? What if Persephone chose the descent? What if she knew there was something waiting for her in the darkness that she could never discover by staying safely in the world she already...

info_outlineIn this episode of our Goddess series, Kathleen Joan and I explore Mary Magdalene, the woman behind the stories, her place in early Christianity, and why her presence still matters so deeply today.
Mary Magdalene was a real woman who walked the earth. She was a devoted follower and the wife of Jesus, a spiritual leader in her own right, and a powerful presence in the resurrection story. And yet, over the centuries, her role was diminished, rewritten, and in many ways pushed to the edges.
So Kathleen and I ask a different question.
What happens when we bring Mary Magdalene back into the center of the story?
We explore the woman she was, the wisdom she carried, and how she has become such a powerful expression of the Divine Feminine for women who are hungry for a deeper, fuller understanding of the sacred.
My co-host for this series is Kathleen Joan, a priestess of Brigid devoted to the resurrection of the Divine Feminine in today’s world, especially for women with Christian ancestry. Kathleen spent more than 15 years in ministry and holds a dual Master’s degree in theology and ministry. Today, she brings that deep understanding of the Christian tradition into her work helping women reclaim the wild, sacred Feminine through Goddess teachings, channeling, energy healing, circles, and retreats.
Like Mary Magdalene, the Feminine has been erased, softened, and minimized in so many of our sacred stories.
But she was never truly gone. This conversation is an invitation to remember her, reclaim what was pushed aside, and make room again for the sacred Feminine wisdom that has been there all along.
Episode Highlights
00:00 — Introducing Mary Magdalene
Knowing Mary Magdalene from three perspectives: the stories told about her, the historical person who lived, and the spiritual presence many people continue to connect with today.
02:27 — The Apostle to the Apostles
Mary Magdalene is consistently named as the first witness to Jesus’ resurrection. Her role as the person who carried that news forward gives her a foundational place in the Christian story.
06:28 — How Official Religious Narratives Were Shaped
The episode examines how religious authorities established official teachings centuries after Jesus’ death. Many writings associated with Mary and other women were excluded, hidden, destroyed, or lost, leaving gaps in the historical record.
08:39 — The First Message of Resurrection
The central Christian message of life continuing after death was first brought to the community by Mary Magdalene. Her testimony was initially dismissed, revealing how women’s spiritual authority was questioned even when they carried the core message of the faith.
11:48 — Why Her Teachings Were Threatening
The idea that Jesus would teach a woman profound spiritual truths challenged emerging patriarchal leadership structures. Mary’s experience was questioned because it did not fit the belief that divine knowledge should be controlled by male authorities.
12:43 — Connecting with the Divine Through the Heart
Mary’s message emphasizes that people can access the divine through their own hearts. Spiritual connection does not necessarily require an external institution to define or authorize the experience.
18:01 — Reclaiming the Feminine Story
Mary’s message focuses on correcting the narrative around her and restoring the feminine presence in sacred traditions.
20:23 — Seeing the Feminine in the Divine
The divine is described as far more expansive than a solely male figure.
23:19 — Passion as Spiritual Power
Passion, devotion, and deep feeling are described as spiritual powers that connect people with their loved ones, their souls, and the divine.
24:23 — The Divine Power of Devotion
Love is framed as a force that lives within the body, heart, and whole human experience. Devotion can help keep wisdom and connection alive even through loss and separation.
