The Spiritual Feminist

Yessss, I’m back! I’ve missed you, connecting with you through this medium, sharing insights with you, I’ve missed it all! It was good to have a break in January and I’ve had many break-throughs because of it, but YAY for being back :) My January started soooo powerfully. I set the tone for this year & decade by choosing ME from the get-go. Making intuitive-based decisions can be scary but trust me when I say you’ll notice soon enough you’re so held, so supported & so seen when you do. This month I’ve also been able to feel into my mission for the Spiritual Fem more, realising that this is so much bigger than myself, so I can release any imposter-syndrome of me doing this work (since it has very little to do with ‘me’!). This is also why I now want to share my offering with you: I am going to be taking you on a three-month journey called ‘Facilitate Magic’, starting mid-april. In these three months I will be guiding you every step of the way to facilitate your own (women’s) circle. I believe healing & empowerment doesn’t necessarily happen alone, and creating more spaces where vulnerable and authentic connection can take place is at the core of the Spiritual Fem. Through sisterhood, we find empowerment, healing and so much more. I am incredibly excited to guide you on this journey. Check out the Instagram highlight for all the details so far - enrolment opens in March, but connect with me if you want more info before that! I can’t wait to take this podcast, the Spiritual Fem in general, YOU and myself on this journey. It’s actually happening - I can hardly believe it - but I am leaving for Bali! Let’s see what’s on the other side :) ~ In this episode, I talk about my wonderful coach Sarah and how she showed me how to step into the role of the Priestess. Check out our podcast episode (#10) and follow her on Instagram (@drsarahcoxon). ~ Follow me on @thespiritualfem and my personal account @lenethwitte for all the Bali updates, spiritual insights & sooooo much more (I don’t even know WHAT, but I know magic is going to happen in the next weeks / months!). ~ Don't forget to subscribe!  ~ Visit the Spiritual Fem website & join the community on Instagram ~ and let me know what you thought of this episode!

This podcast is about exploring that connection within ourselves and with everything around us. I hope you will leave this episode feeling inspired and reconnected to your female fire. ~ Nothing is missing, you are already whole. Everything you need, you already carry within you. 

I’ve been moving through a lot these past few weeks and recording this episode about it all made me realise what a privilege it is to be sharing this journey so raw and openly with you all. Thank YOU for sending me messages about all the episodes, telling me they inspired you, and sharing the podcast on your socials. It honestly means the world. 

In this episode, I talk about how empowering it is to rewrite your story. How I saw myself as a teenager, how other people see me, and how I use labels to form stories about who I am, has all been worth reassessing ~ and rewriting where necessary. You see, the stories we tell ourselves shape our reality and identity. It is therefore extremely powerful to critically edit where necessary. 

I also talk about setting soft intentions and being kind with ourselves as we are slowly wrapping up this year and decade. Maybe setting an intention, and forming a mantra, will help you start 2020 with the right energy. Maybe your soul is craving something else. There is no right or wrong. 
Personally, my 2020 mantra will be ‘I flow like the river’. This, to me, symbolises the permission slip to lean back. It’s a reminder to see life not as a path to be walked, but a river to flow with. I am held by the water! 

I wish you a year full of self-love, empowered action, spiritual moments and intuitive decisions. I can’t wait to take you to Bali (and beyond), and share my raw and honest journey. I’ll see you in February! x ~ Visit the Spiritual Fem website & join the community on Instagram ~ and let me know what you thought of this episode!

Emma appeared on the podcast in episode three, and I really wanted to have her back on to do an ‘end of the year self check-in’ with me! We enjoyed recording the first time so much, and I know it was deep medicine for many of you, so I am really happy to share this second episode with my best friend today :). 

 In this episode, we recap Emma’s year post burn-out and mid-recovery. We talk about how in this society, we often define ourselves through our jobs, and how for us both this past year has completely shifted that perception. How can explore ourselves, our identity, our intuition? How can we tap into our inner wisdom again? 
During her burn-out, Emma decided to quit her job and step into unknown territory in her life. Through that, she learned to trust in herself and go with the flow. She has learned to not focus on the future too much but live more in the now, which I find so inspiring. We discuss how setting boundaries is something you need to learn but is so important to thrive. Learning how to shift the feeling of responsibility towards others, towards ourselves, is incredibly powerful. 

 I hope you enjoy this life-update with Emma, that you feel supported by our words and that, if it made you reflect on your own 2019, you feel grateful and empowered about how far you’ve come. 

 Merry Christmas if you celebrate it, and I will see you before we close this year with the last podcast of the decade!

I am so incredibly excited to share this interview with my wonderful friend Kerry Hinns today! Kerry is an incredible space-holder, providing space for women to show up as they are, working through shame, trauma and insecurities. 
In this episode, we talk about self-sabotaging ourselves and creating a bliss list. We discuss the beauty of sisterhood and healing the collective wound, the power of empathy, and the lack-mentality that our society pressures on us. We share a discovery we did that day of a beautiful spiritual serendipity. It’s pretty crazy to (unknowingly) already have connected to Kerry before we even knew each other. Our stories are running more parallel than we realised ~ and goodness do I feel grateful for Kerry and the connection I feel with her! 

 Kerry and I would love to invite you to share what you are proud of ~ if you share on Instagram, make sure to tag us so we can celebrate YOU! 

 I hope that through this episode, you will feel that you already belong. Feeling disconnected and afraid to show up as yourself is completely understandable, we all feel it from time to time ~ but know that in this safe space and loving community, you are seen, heard and supported.

Caroline shares the most beautiful poetry, insights and energy via her Instagram account @healingforshe. Connecting with her has been such an empowering experience and I am so excited to share that energy with you today! 

 In this episode, Caroline shares a part of her personal story. We talk about how she reclaims her inner voice through poetry ~ and does so beautifully! We discuss how healing starts from within (and usually with giving love to our inner child). Caroline often goes into nature to connect and release, which I find so inspiring. She states that we are disconnected from Mother Earth because we are disconnected from within ~ and that it home. I hope that through this episode, you will allow yourself to feel your emotions ~ it’s all allowed to be there! It’s simply a part of being the beautiful human being that you are. 

Release the wild from within through listening to this podcast episode (perhaps whilst walking in nature!) and feel held and supported by Caroline’s energy.

This conversation with Farah blew me open like nothing else. Get ready to level up on your spiritual path! 

I came across Farah on Instagram a while ago, and since then have been inspired by her energy and content. Recently, after a particular post of hers about her experience in a sweat lodge, I asked Farah if she wanted to come onto the podcast with me to discuss the ‘good girl’ conditioning we all carry within us. I am so happy and honoured to share this episode with you today. 

 We discuss Farah’s spiritual path and awakening, how she is reclaiming her body through dance (and posting about it online!), her experience in a sweat lodge and the sweet goddess & good girl conditioning. We talk about how she is currently moving through life and how those shifts have changed the way she shows up online. We also chat about her current work of helping women find their inner medicine. Join us in a raw and honest conversation about spirituality, womanhood and how can decondition ourselves through moving our bodies.

I have a feeling this will be one of those episodes on which I will look back often! I’ve been alluding to my recent life decisions a few times in the past couple of episodes, and here we are :). In this episode, I tell you all about my current journey in life and how the start of my 2020 will look like. I still can’t quite believe all the changes going on in my life and honestly, so much of that is down to the Spiritual Fem(inist) and your sense of connection and community with me. Thank you! In this episode I talk about my decision to quit my job and how such a big moment in my life actually came about quite peacefully. I have decided to travel starting February next year. I will fly out to Bali first and then see where the wind will take me after. I talk about how I was able to disentangle my intuition from my instinct and how that has empowered me. And at the end, I reveal something quite exciting that will take place in December! I can’t wait to see what the next few months have in store for us all. Let’s take the Spiritual Feminist podcast on the road, shall we :) ~ Don't forget to subscribe!

Whilst I was in Gent co-hosting a beautiful event (check the previous podcast episode!), Maxime Vossen carved out some time to chat to me. I feel so so lucky that I get to connect with inspiring women like her. Maxime uses yoga, reiki, tarot, and overall intuitive mentorship to guide and inspire people in their lives. She is a beautiful old soul with such wisdom to share, and I can’t wait to hear what you think of this episode! 

 We talk all about her evolving career as a spiritual entrepreneur, from teaching yoga in to-be-demolished buildings to using reiki and tarot to guide people 1:1 in their lives. We dive deep into how Tarot works ~ which I’m really happy about. I find tarot very intimidating and simply did not know where to start. Please see all the links below for your personal Tarot First Aid Kit, and get card pulling! (and let us know if this instigated you buying a deck! I know it has done for me ;)). 
 We also chat about Maxime’s own podcast, which she hosts together with Lana Bauwens. They aptly titled it ‘Witches Wear Sneakers’ and we discuss how the term ‘witch’ is used in current society, and how we should try and reclaim the word and its connotations. I would love to know how the word WITCH makes you feel, and why. Let’s open up the discussion!
 We also talk about Maxime’s lifestyle and rituals, how a multi-hyphen career is working for her and we have some laughs in-between our chatter. 
Basically, I could’ve talked for hours with Maxime (and well, we kind of did!). I hope you feel as happy and inspired listening to our conversation as I did. I am really thankful to Maxime for not only taking out the time to record with me for the Spiritual Feminist podcast, but also for her to share her wisdom on so many topics. This is an episode I will cherish for a long time - I hope you feel the same!

I had the pleasure of recording an episode with the inspiring lady that is Sophie Jongejan, creator of ‘The Place’, a hub for creative and spiritual moments in and around Gent, Belgium. Sophie and I met on Instagram and when I expressed my coming to her city, she invited me to co-host one of her Talks, themed ‘Embrace your Female Energy’. 
 We recorded this before we went to the location and it was a beautiful moment for us to reflect on what female energy actually means to us. I also ask Sophie about why and how she started The Place, her relationship with the digital sphere and money and her spiritual practices.

 I am so grateful to have met Sophie. She truly is a connector of light workers, providing a platform for spiritual creatives to inspire people, and in turn provide a place (!) for people to find connection and depth. 
 Join us with a cup of tea for an authentic chat between two spiritual, creative entrepreneurs. And as always, let me know what you thought of the episode!

I am so happy to have Caressa on the podcast today! I found her on Instagram a while back, and since then we have connected over our mutual interest in spirituality, yoga, crystals, creativity, art… basically everything that we cover in this episode :) 

 We recorded this episode after I spent the day at a One Day Retreat co-facilitated by Caressa, where we did yoga, intuitive painting and made a crystal grid. This inspiring day was the catalyst for our conversation and I really think that the energy from that day radiates from our chats.

 I am so grateful I get to call Caressa my friend now. She is a special soul ~ from her spiritual journey to her work now, she inspires me every day to follow my heart (and to give myself the permission slip to make really ugly paintings!!!!!). Hopefully you’ll feel both of those things too, listening to this. 

In the episode, we discuss the One Day Retreats - check out their website to see what days they organise in the months coming up. Caressa points to the book Crystals for Healing by Karen Frazier as a good starting point for working with crystals.
