Mapping the Descent: The Habit of Joy in the Darkness with Dr. Tamsin Astor 08/19/2025

Mapping the Descent: The Habit of Joy in the Darkness with Dr. Tamsin Astor What happens when life brings you to your knees—and you don’t know if you’ll rise again? In this soul-rich conversation, Dr. Tamsin Astor joins us in the Mapping the Descent series to explore what it means to face real death, cultural death, and identity death... and emerge to tell the tale. Tamsin shares how her child’s life-threatening medical diagnosis pulled her into the underworld, how Western culture’s discomfort with death shaped her experience, and how she began rebuilding from the ground up with the tools of mindfulness, movement, habit, humor, and spiritual curiosity. We talk about: Why the descent asks us to stop trying to fix ourselves, and what to do instead The role and rediscovery of rituals—and our collective loss of them Why joy isn’t always a feeling, but a practice Navigating trauma, mental health, and dark seasons of life The power of community where you can be messy and still be loved This episode is a balm and a reckoning. A reminder that when everything breaks apart, something ancient remembers how to begin again. About Dr. Tamsin Astor: Dr. Tamsin Astor is Chief Habit Scientist, Executive Coach, and Founder & CEO of Yoga Brained LLC.

Mapping the Descent: Mythic Undoing & Emergence with Jen Wyatt 08/12/2025

Mapping the Descent: Mythic Undoing & Emergence with Jen Wyatt In this soul-stirring installment of Mapping the Descent, women's mentor and facilitator Jen Wyatt joins us to explore the storms that reshape us—and the rituals that help us remember who we truly are. We dive into: How a paralyzing anxiety within a relationship became the doorway into an underworld journey The mythic thread of Inanna's descent into the underworld, and her resonant message for anyone journeying the darkness The visceral experience of surrendering to unraveling How letting go—laying down swords and armor—helped her alchemize pain into sovereignty The reclaiming of body, spirit, voice, and intimate self-trust born from that crucible Why initiation is not punishment—but an invitation to deeper freedom, creativity, and love If you’re teetering on a threshold—mourning a loss big or small, diving into grief, or blazing new ground without a roadmap—this episode is a light on your path. It offers both mirror and mantra: you’re in the descent for a reason, and you’ll emerge differently… more embodied, more alive, more free. About Jen Wyatt: Jen Wyatt is the founder of Wander Free Wellness and a guide for women on the path of wild remembrance. Her work is rooted in ritual, nature, and the mythopoetic—woven with archetype, embodiment, and wild feminine soul. Jen creates sacred spaces that honor descent as a sacred rite of transformation, guiding women to shed old skins, reclaim their creative life force, and return to what is true beneath the noise of conditioning. Through circles, retreats, and ceremonial journeys, she invites women to awaken intuition, aliveness, and authentic expression.

Mapping the Descent: Held in the Dark with Kelci Heart 08/05/2025

Mapping the Descent: Held in the Dark with Kelci Heart What happens when everything familiar falls away—and there’s no map to guide you home? In this first interview of the Mapping the Descent series, Michelle Lynn sits down with writer and soul guide Kelci Heart for a raw, poetic conversation about her journey through the underworld. From the loss of identity to the surrender of control, Kelci shares how her descent unraveled everything she thought she knew—and how it revealed something far more true. Together, we explore: What it really means to be “held in the dark” The difference between spiritual bypassing and true surrender How the descent reshapes your sense of self, power, and purpose The deep feminine wisdom encoded in grief, rage, and stillness How myth and metaphor help us survive—and integrate—spiritual unraveling This episode is a balm and a lantern for anyone navigating liminal space, spiritual breakdown, or soul initiation. It reminds us that descent is not the end of the story—it’s a sacred threshold into a deeper kind of knowing. About Kelci Heart: Kelci Heart is a ritual guide, sacred bodyworker, and intuitive mentor devoted to helping others reclaim their sensual power, self-love, and soul freedom. Through a unique blend of intuitive guidance, embodied ritual, and ceremonial medicine work, she supports deep personal alchemy — turning life’s grit and grief into beauty, bravery, and liberation.

Mapping the Descent: Treasures from the Void with Rosa Santoyo In this illuminating episode of Mapping the Descent, we sit with Rosa Santoyo—witchy business mentor, somatic guide, and spiritual entrepreneur. Together, we explore: How launching a healing business can trigger a profound underworld journey—collapsing identity, relationships, and security The mysterious moment when resistance meets transformation: “the divine midwife cuts through the old way by force” The somatic descent into grief, loss, and disconnection from the self and the Divine The sacred role of mentors, circles, and containers to hold us in our unraveling The treasures that emerge: reclaimed embodiment, fierce self‑trust, intuitive clarity—even in the void How these journeys ripple out, guiding not just personal sovereignty, but also collective feminine reclamation This is a fierce and tender invitation: if you’ve felt the business of your soul fall apart—or you’re birthing something new that the old self can’t hold—this conversation will offer a map, a midwife, and an empowered voice rising from the dark. Tune in to remember: you are not alone, and what is unfolding within you seeks to be seen, reshaped, and reclaimed.

Mapping the Descent: Women on the Path of Initiations of Dark Night, Underworld, and the Winter of the Soul What if the unraveling of your life isn’t a failure—but a sacred invitation? In this opening episode of the Mapping the Descent series, hostess Michelle Lynn guides us through the landscapes of the dark night of the soul, the underworld journey, and the metaphorical winter—those bewildering, disorienting, and ultimately transformative experiences that so many women are quietly navigating. Drawing on myth, mysticism, feminine archetypes, and her own deeply personal stories, Michelle reveals why descent is not a detour from the path, but the path itself.

Sacred undoing. And the mysterious grace that lives inside the dark. In This Episode, You'll Explore: What the “dark night of the soul” really means and how it differs from depression The mythic and archetypal dimensions of an underworld journey How the metaphorical winter holds regenerative wisdom (if we let it) Why spiritual awakening often leads not to bliss, but to unraveling How stories, myths, and symbols offer lifelines in the descent The feminine spiritual current that’s reawakening through modern women Why descent is a necessary part of the soul’s evolution—and how to recognize its gifts ✨ Plus, Michelle shares a deeply personal story of awakening, rage, and reconnection that became her own initiation into the descent.

Navigating the Witch Wound and Finding Confidence as a Spiritual Entrepreneur with Susan de Vriend 10/14/2023

Navigating the Witch Wound and Finding Confidence as a Spiritual Entrepreneur with Susan de Vriend Today we have a special guest episode with my friend Susan de Vriend. Susan is an intuitive empath, who supports spiritual business owners to step back into their full confidence in being themselves so that they can bring their gifts to their clients in an authentic and real way. I’m excited to share Susan’s perspective with you because she’s had a real journey with navigating the witch wound… this deep fear that lives in the collective bodies and consciousness of women that we will be killed or banished for having knowledge and power and abilities that people can’t understand. Many of you here are following my work because you’re also navigating this path of understanding your gifts and how to bring them more fully into the world... as well as gaining the confidence and the courage to take action. So I know you’ll take a lot of wisdom and encouragement from hearing Susan’s story and perspective on this! We chat about… Susan’s very real “witch hunt” experience when she had a spiritual awakening How she makes sense of that experience in the context of the work she does How she supports spiritual entrepreneurs to confidently offer their gifts to the world What she sees blocking most people on this path What’s wrong with the paradigm of “healing” Can you coach other people if you’re still in the “messy middle” of your own journey? A key ingredient to powerful space holding What if I’m doing all the spiritual practice and inner work but it’s not having the outward results I want? How to negotiate our relationship with safety And much more!
