The Art of Feminine Business with Julie Foucht
As we transition into a season of darkness, a unique opportunity unfolds for us to connect with the deeper parts of ourselves. In this solo episode, I share the rich symbolism of the season and invite you to embrace the magic that lies within the depths. This season offers a chance to shed the masks we wear and embrace our full selves; wild, powerful, and unapologetic. Slow down, listen to your inner selves, and allow the darkness to guide you towards healing and transformation. I assure you that this journey into the depths can lead to profound revelations and a stronger connection to...

The word “alignment” gets used a lot, but when defined in a practical way, alignment means equilibrium; when what’s happening on the outside matches what’s true on the inside. That means your choices reflect your values. It means knowing what lights you up, what matters most, and what kind of life feels honest to you. Today, we go deeper into the layers of our stories that bring us to the edge where being in alignment is not a choice; it is the way of life. My guest in this episode is Sunniva Holt. She is a mindset coach, speaker & best-selling author who helps...

I love the way Source finds ways to guide us. Sometimes it happens during meditation, sometimes while walking in nature, and sometimes through the simple act of putting color on a page. In this episode I'm joined by my friend Constance Chapman. Constance has spent more than 50 years working with women, helping them reconnect with their own deep wisdom. With degrees in Women's Spirituality and Creative Inquiry, she brings a beautiful blend of spiritual understanding and creative exploration to her work, especially with women over 65. We had such a lovely conversation about...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

We have a juicy conversation about ceremonial cacao, the magic of living in rhythm with Mama Earth, and what happens when we reclaim the word witch as a source of wisdom and power. And, of course, we bring it back to business. Because when you honor your natural rhythms and trust the wisdom of your body, you begin creating a business that flows with your energy, supports your desires, and gives you space to live a truly magical life.
Episode Highlights
06:49: What makes cacao ceremonial
Ceremonial cacao is approached with care for its origins, the land, and the people who grow it. Its bitterness is embraced as part of its character, rather than masked with sweetness.
10:01: Preparing cacao and holding ceremony
Ceremony preparation can include focused time, dance, song, and intentions for the people gathering. The care and energy brought to the process can shape the experience.
11:13: Planning work around cyclical energy
Tracking menstrual phases can help guide scheduling, from placing events in more outward-facing periods to making room for rest and personal ceremony. The approach is adaptable rather than a rigid calendar formula.
14:37: Finding seasons and rest in everyday life
Seasonal gatherings can help create space for reflection even in places without dramatic seasonal changes. The moon and nature offer useful reference points, while personal experience remains the guide.
18:29: Reclaiming the word “witch”
Witch is framed as a woman standing in her power and honoring her connection to nature and spirituality. Reclaiming the word can challenge shame and recognize the wisdom of women who were historically marginalized.
25:02: Practices and gatherings for listeners
A guided self-holding practice offers ways to feel grounded and choose how much energy to give or receive.
Mentioned
A guided audio and booklet on "Holding space for yourself": A simple ritual that becomes your daily anchor, strengthening your energy, boosting your resilience, and deepening your connection to the natural world.
