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 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 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 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 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...

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 themselves more fully, and create lives and businesses that actually fit who they are. 

 

If you’ve ever wondered which beliefs are truly yours and which ones were handed to you, you’re going to want to hear this conversation. 

 

 

Episode Highlights 

 

03:32: Witchcraft as self-trust and energetic clarity 

 

What it means to bring witchy practices into business. The focus is on tuning into personal energy, using tools like cards or a pendulum for clarity, and trusting what feels right instead of defaulting to outside approval. 

 

04:44: Building business from what feels aligned 

 

The discussion highlights a summit created without over-focusing on conventional business rules. The emphasis is on starting with meaningful conversations and following excitement, even when the strategy feels unconventional. 

 

05:07: Choosing voices that matter over rigid criteria 

 

Podcasting as a space where strong voices sometimes matter more than strict application rules. This point reinforces the idea that intuition and purpose can guide better decisions than formulaic gatekeeping. 

 

09:42: Practicing a clean no 

 

Building stronger boundaries: say “no, thank you” without over-explaining. This creates a new experience in the body and helps reveal that other people’s reactions are not proof that you did something wrong. 

 

11:49: What Human Design is 

 

Human Design offers insights tailored to the individual, allowing them to understand their unique attributes and challenges. Mikhaila advocates for testing this knowledge in everyday life to discover what resonates and what might be conditioned behavior. 

 

15:38: Looking beyond Human Design type into deeper patterns 

 

Profiles, push-pull dynamics, and the way conditioning shows up in behavior and language. This is described as a deeper level of untangling the stories that keep people stuck. 

 

20:15: Signposts that show when you’re off course 

 

The conversation explores how discomfort, resistance, and recurring friction can signal misalignment. These signs can reveal whether a person is moving the wrong way, using the wrong approach, or seeking too much external validation. 

 

21:24: Reading alignment and out-of-alignment cues 

 

A framework for identifying how different qualities feel when they are in or out of alignment. The point is to notice whether the experience feels expansive or restrictive, and to use that as guidance. 

 

 

25:19: Coming home to yourself 

 

The final reflection encouraging listeners to stop twisting themselves into someone else’s formula and instead build a life and business that honor who they really are.
