This episode gets deliciously witchy.

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...

The Goddess Series: Part 2 - Meeting the Divine Feminine Through Firey Brigid

The Art of Feminine Business with Julie Foucht

There are some Goddesses who whisper. Brigid arrives with fire. 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...

The Goddess Series: Part 1 - Introduction to the Divine She

The Art of Feminine Business with Julie Foucht

This episode kicks off a special six-part Goddess series exploring the many faces, stories, and wisdom of the Divine She. I’ve been working directly with Goddess energy for the last few years, and I wanted to bring in someone with deep roots in Goddess lineage to co-host this series with me. Enter my beautiful friend, Kathleen Joan. Kathleen is a priestess of Brigid dedicated to the resurrection of the Divine Feminine in today’s world, especially for women with Christian ancestry. She began her...

More Episodes

There's something deliciously powerful about a woman who reclaims her magic, embraces her wild, witchy soul, and builds a business that honors who she truly is.

In this episode, I'm joined by Laura Yates, founder of The Hummingbird Life, cacao ceremonialist, retreat facilitator, and Andean-initiated medicine woman. Laura is devoted to helping women remember the witch within and reconnect with the ancient wisdom of the Divine Feminine.

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.
