The Soul Alchemist

Catherine interviews AnneMarie Lowry from Dublin about her decade‑long inner work journey after a toxic corporate role sparked a call to therapy. They discuss how deep healing, therapy, energy work and coaching shifted her relationship to grief, fear (including a fear of open water), self‑advocacy and joy. AnneMarie shares practical insights about the messy middle of change, the ripple effects of doing real inner work, and how softness and vulnerability became strengths. She reflects on unexpected gifts like renewed playfulness, a lighter relationship with loss, and newfound confidence to show up differently. AnneMarie also shares why ‘the juice is worth the squeeze’ because going deep creates powerful, lasting shifts that ripple across your life. Join Catherine and AnneMarie for a potent and inspiring episode.   Welcome to the Soul Alchemist Podcast with Catherine Maguire.
