Mari Kennedy, a Wise Woman in the Celtic Tradition, joins me to discuss her Next Stage Celtic Wheel, drawing on the ancient wheel of the year, a framework for working within the changing seasons to get the best use of our natural energy and rhythms.

Dive into this pocket of joy as we discuss the Celtic festival of Lughnasadh this August, having the "wild craic", insights about our perception of time, rebalancing our energies from the linear masculine mode which causes burnout and feelings of failure to leaning back into our feminine energy and learning to just "be". Restoring our balance, reclaiming our sovereignty as women and so much more. I share some insights I have been having recently and we both are moved to tears. A really special episode with lots of nuggets of wisdom for you to takeaway.
