Throughout the episode, we explore the tools and practices to help you access your truth. We also unpack the risks of speaking your truth, such as personal and societal repercussions, and how to navigate this while staying honest with yourself.

Today, we explore the beauty and pleasure of self respect and its role in cultivating personal growth, fulfillment, and healing within yourself and your relationships. We examine self respect through the lens of The Erotic Priestess archetype, who embodies respect, reverence, and divine communion, serving as a guide for integrating spirituality, sensuality, and sexuality into your holistic human experience.
We discuss how self respect is related to self awareness, self knowledge, self acceptance, and trust – the pillars of the Embodied Self Love Framework. We also dive into the meaning of the word erotic, which comes from the Greek word eros, and discuss the transformative power of love in its purest form. Plus, we take a look at Audre Lorde's essay "Uses of the Erotic," which exemplifies the significance of the erotic as a source of great power.
In episode 457 of the Embodied Podcast we discuss:
(2:54) Why self respect is is the last pillar in the Embodied Self Love Framework
(4:45) The beauty of archetype work for inner growth and healing

In the School of Sacred Embodiment, we believe that the gift of grace is not only something we can muster but also, in its highest form, a divine force.

We also discuss various practices for cultivating grace, such as movement, being with nature, and embodying The Divine Mother archetype.

So often, boundaries are misunderstood as a negative form of control rather than a structure that invites self-awareness, establishes healthy relationships, and highlights our true passions. In today's episode, we dive into the significance of anger as a source of information that reveals our boundaries, needs, and the necessary steps in our healing journey.
Plus, we explore The Warrior Goddess archetype and how it can help us alchemize our anger to fuel transformative action towards what truly needs to be defended or protected. By facing uncomfortable truths and taking action for the things we care about, we can learn from the wisdom of The Warrior Goddess and better ourselves in the process.
In episode 453 of the Embodied Podcast we discuss:
(3:31) Why we cannot avoid negative realities or evade the truth within our spiritual communities
(8:55) How to address systems of oppression in communities and focus on collective liberation over individual comfort
(11:22) The Warrior Goddess archetype in the context of the Wild Soul Archetypes
(15:58) Recognizing and addressing your anger to reveal your boundaries and purpose
(20:28) A prayer for using words wisely, acknowledging their power, and protecting your energy

This episode is a beautiful reminder that the things we assume are fixed in our 50s and 60s may not be so, and there's always room for growth, healing, and transformation, no matter how old we are. Joining the conversation today is Dr. Cynthia McGrath, an author, WomanSpeak Coach, Sacred Embodiment Specialist, and NLP practitioner. She's 71 years young and still on her healing journey, inspiring women aged 50 and above to continue learning, growing, and expressing themselves on their terms.
Throughout our chat, Cynthia shares stories from her experience as a nurse practitioner, discussing patients who have remained vibrant and active well into their 80s. We also touch upon Cynthia's passion for Enneagram for increasing self-awareness and compassion for others and how it can help us appreciate the uniqueness of everyone around us.

It’s completely understandable to feel overwhelmed when witnessing the atrocities currently unfolding in our world. It's also easy to give in to external pressures, like those on social media, and conform to expectations that encourage us to mistreat each other. In this episode, Elizabeth dives into performative activism, platform policing, and embracing the sacred power of curiosity.
She also discusses how to respond to and approach these issues with humility and an open mind, much like that of a loving parent, so you can access genuine curiosity in line with your soul’s wisdom. Imagine how different the world would be if our capacity for reverence was larger than our capacity for despising things? What if we could approach those who hold different perspectives than us with an effort to understand instead of jumping to anger and judgment?
In episode 448 of the Embodied Podcast we discuss:
(3:52) Social media's role in activism during crises and our recommended voices to follow
(6:42) Advice for attending to your personal energy and soul's wisdom when navigating social and political issues
(9:01) The importance of curiosity to empathize with others' perspectives
(12:31) Embracing the sacred power of curiosity by asking questions and doing self-reflections
(18:23) Using curiosity, humility, and reverence as tools to bridge gaps in understanding

Today I’m exploring the working definition of Spiritual Futurism specific to The School of Sacred Embodiment. At its core, this interpretation of Spiritual Futurism calls on us to re-evaluate our connection with the divine, freeing ourselves from outdated patriarchal and colonized influences and returning to our ancestral and indigenous roots. With this approach, we can revitalize ancient traditions to fit our modern needs.
In this episode, I share how incorporating this concept into mystical leadership cultivates an open space to guide others with empathy and understanding rather than imposing rigid expectations. The result? Stronger, more compassionate communities that foster growth, an openness to reflection, and a willingness to refine.
In episode 442 of the Embodied Podcast we discuss:
(1:56) How contemporary spiritual leaders differ from ancient mystics and guides
(7:53) Why energetic dependency influences communities and containers
(12:46) The beauty of connecting in intimate and mixed community spaces
(20:55) The School of Sacred Embodiment’s working definition of Spiritual Futurism
(22:54) How Spiritual Futurism can bring mystics, healers and priestesses into the mainstream
(25:51) The harm caused by leaders who interpret ancient materials without considering our modern world
(30:00) Mystical leadership compared to traditional church structures and other forms of spirituality and coaching
(35:38) The challenge of stepping into collectivism in a world full of individualism

In this episode, we’re taking a deeper look at Body Love + Reverence.
Relating to our bodies is something that's interwoven into every single day and moment of our lives. This is the main reason I’m so passionate about bringing love and reverence to the experience of having a body for women.
In episode 439 of the Embodied Podcast we discuss:
(2:37) How major industries have made women feel unhappy and dissatisfied with their bodies
(6:48) Why the pillars of Body Love + Reverence are for anyone, regardless of the relationship with your body
(8:33) Body Love + Reverence Pillar #1: Sensual healing is about being able to tune into your self and feel and know the truth in your body
(9:29) Body Love + Reverence Pillar #2: Beauty as medicine is deciding what our own perception of beauty is, and developing the “eye of the beholder” in all areas of life
(11:27) Body Love + Reverence Pillar #3: Working with your intuition allows for presence, which enables us to fully tap into the human and soul self
(14:49) Body Love + Reverence Pillar #4: Energetic awareness shows you how powerful you really are, and taps into potential you didn’t know you had. This releases unprecedented reverence for the body
(15:26) Body Love + Reverence Pillar #5: Sacredness of every body means every single person’s body is sacred. What would you do if you knew how sacred you really are?
(17:02) Benefits of body love + reverence
