The Witchpreneur's Guide to Self-Alignment with Michaela Gaffen Stone

The Art of Feminine Business with Julie Foucht

This episode gets deliciously witchy. I’m joined by fellow witch Mikhaila Gaffen Stone, a board-certified behavior analyst, Human Design strategist, author, and Professional Life Untangler, for a conversation about the invisible spells we absorb from family, culture, and all the rules women are taught to follow. We explore the patterns behind people-pleasing, burnout, and self-doubt, and what it takes to break their hold. Mikhaila blends behavior science, Human Design, and deep inner wisdom to help women untangle old conditioning, trust...

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. That is exactly what today’s guest brings to this conversation. Teresa Wornstaff is an intuitive channel, transformational guide, author, healer, soul...

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...

In this second episode of our six-part Goddess: Expressions of the Divine She series, Kathleen and I step into the flame of Brigid, Goddess and Saint of fire, creativity, healing, spring, and sacred devotion. We explore who Brigid is, the ancient stories that surround her, and what happens when we begin to experience the Divine Feminine as something alive and present in our own lives. How does She speak to us? How do we recognize Her guidance through our...

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 destruction. There is fierce love underneath it. She cuts away what has become false, limiting, or complete. She reminds us that sometimes the Divine Feminine whispers, and sometimes She needs to roar.

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.

In this conversation, we explore Kali as both destroyer and Mother, and what she can teach us about releasing what has run its course, reclaiming our wildness, and making space for what wants to emerge next.

Episode Highlights

00:27 — Meeting Kali, the Fierce Divine Mother

Kali is an active and powerful goddess within the Hindu tradition. Unlike hidden or forgotten feminine figures, she is seen as wild, visible, fierce, and fully present.

02:25 — Kali as Destroyer of Illusions

Kali’s destruction is reframed as an act of love. She removes the illusions, beliefs, and patterns that no longer serve us so we can grow into a deeper awareness of who we truly are.

05:46 — Deconstruction Instead of Destruction

Kali is not simply tearing everything down. She takes systems and structures apart so the useful pieces can be rebuilt in ways that better serve humanity, including in personal life, business, relationships, and society.

07:44 — Reclaiming Feminine Wildness

Kali’s dark, untamed energy invites women to reconnect with their wildness. Her presence challenges the expectation that women must always be polite, controlled, agreeable, or easy for others to accept.

09:19 — Transforming the Inner Demons

The demons in Kali’s story represent patterns such as competition, envy, jealousy, and other forces that can multiply when left unexamined. Rather than suppressing these emotions, Kali teaches us to move through them and transform their energy into our next level of service.

11:43 — Breaking the Pattern of Disconnection

Women are often taught to disconnect from themselves, one another, and the divine in order to remain accepted within patriarchal communities. Kali offers protection and solidarity while inviting women to show up as their full, powerful selves.

15:12 — Letting Kali Lead Through Change

Sometimes major life changes are not carefully planned but arrive as a powerful breakdown or calling. Kali can reveal what needs to be released, helping us move through uncertainty and rebuild with greater truth and alignment.

18:04 — Anger, Protection, and Fierce Compassion

Kali makes space for anger, rage, boundaries, and protective action, especially in response to cruelty and injustice. Her fierce compassion is not about softening everything; it is about confronting harm, protecting what is vulnerable, and refusing to shrink.
