Description

The Wild Goddess Podcast is a space of re-enchantment — where ancient wisdom and modern life meet.

Here you’ll find folklore, myth, storytelling, goddess wisdom, and seasonal living woven together as medicine for the soul.

Each episode is a descent and a rising: moving through forgotten tales, reflective conversations, meditations, and raw truths that call you back to your own magic.

This is a place for women craving depth in a surface-level world — for those ready to remember their power, reclaim their voice, and live in rhythm with the wild cycles of nature and the feminine.

Come for the mythic storytelling and soul-stirring reflection. Stay for the moments of beauty, honesty, and re-enchantment that remind you: your story is sacred.

In a world that constantly encourages us to improve, optimise, and become “better,” I’ve found myself asking a quieter question lately… What if the real path isn’t self-development, but self-nurturing? In this episode, I’m exploring the gentle but powerful difference between self-development and self-nurturing through the lens of myth, folklore, seasonal living, earth-based rituals, and goddess connection. I share my own journey, from consuming traditional self-growth content to finding...
Friday the 13th has long been wrapped in superstition, fear, and shadow. But what if it was never unlucky at all? In this episode, we step beyond horror stories and into history, mythology, and the forgotten codes of the feminine. This episode explores the true roots of Friday as the day of the Goddess - Frigg, Freyja, Venus, and the sacred meaning of the number 13 as a reflection of lunar cycles, feminine rhythms, and wholeness. Together, we unravel how the sacred feminine was slowly r...
In the old wood beyond Ashmere, where roots whisper and the air remembers, a spaniel named Oban discovers a friendship that will change his life. When Oban begins to follow the quiet pull of Elderwood instead of the easy games of the meadow, the other dogs grow uneasy. Fear of the unknown leads them to trap Old Mossback, the ancient Rootkeeper of the wood, forcing Oban to decide whether he will shrink himself to fit in… or walk the path that calls him. With the guidance of a few friends and t...
This week I’m sharing the real story behind closing my membership, clearing debt and finally feeling empowered in my business. January forced me to get honest about what wasn’t lighting me up, about money, and about the courage it takes to pivot publicly. In this episode we talk recalibration, financial empowerment, brave decisions, and choosing to build something that feels true, even if other people don’t fully understand it. This is about doing business, and life, on your own terms. ✨Lovin...
January often arrives heavy with expectation, urging us to move faster, decide more, become something new. But winter has never worked that way. In this opening episode of 2026, I begin not with resolutions or reflection prompts, but with an old folktale. The Twelve Months is a traditional Eastern European winter story, retold from The Telling of the Seasons, in which a young girl is sent into the frozen forest on an impossible task. There, she encounters the twelve months of the year gathere...
2025 didn’t turn out how I planned it. Not in my work, not in my life. not in my heart. In this episode, I’m reflecting on a year shaped by grief, intuition, and a quieter kind of courage. A year where I didn’t plan to be making candles, didn’t expect to be pouring so much of myself into The Enchantment membership… and didn’t know how deeply losing my Grandad would change me. I share honestly about grief and how it reshapes us, the unexpected wisdom I’ve learned from my Nan, and why trusting ...
Step with me into the old magic of winter. In this special episode, we wander from November into December through a folklore-infused charm-walk filled with robins, hobgoblins, mistletoe, the Holly King, and the ancient Cailleach herself. This isn’t a story, it’s an immersive winter enchantment, a pocket spell woven with old lore, atmospheric imagery, and gentle seasonal wisdom. Together, we'll find: ✨ The robin’s blessing ✨ The Holly King in deep winter ✨ Hobgoblin mis...
Step into a haunting, atmospheric November tale rooted in British folklore, witchcraft history, and the old magic of the land. In this original Wild Goddess story, we follow the voice of an ancient elm tree, once used as a gallows, as it remembers Aldith, a wise-woman condemned in the cold dark of winter. This is a story of injustice, transformation, and the enduring spirit of the women the world tried to silence. A tale woven with tree lore, old charms, and the bone-deep wisdom ...
In this episode, I’m sharing an original folklore inspired tale I’ve written called “The Keeper of the Dust and the Ground-Bound Fae.” This story follows Mason, a young fae born without wings, and the brave journey he takes into the Elderwood to seek out a mysterious old woman known as The Keeper of the Dust. Along the way, he meets hedge sprites, faces ancient woodland tests, and discovers the deeper truth of what courage and wholeness really mean. This tale is woven with everything I love —...
What happens to the human soul when we lose our sense of magic? In this episode of The Wild Goddess Podcast I'm exploring the deep wound left by the loss of enchantment in our modern world, a wound that has quietly numbed our creativity, spirituality, and connection to nature. Through folklore, mythology, and old-world wisdom, I'm inviting you to remember what it means to live in an enchanted world, where wells still whisper wishes, trees still hum with spirit, and fairy tale...
In this deeply personal and folkloric episode, I'm sharing another original story, The Old Woman of the Wind, a mythic Irish-inspired tale about the power of change, the wisdom of the winds, and the quiet strength found in surrender. Inspired by my wonderful Irish Nan from Ballina, County Mayo, this episode weaves together folklore, intuition and change, reminding us that the winds of change are not here to destroy, but to guide us back to ourselves. You’ll be transported into a world of...
Step into the magic of Samhain, the season of endings, ancestors, and enchantment, with this hauntingly beautiful folklore tale, The Lantern Keeper. ✨ In this special Samhain episode of The Wild Goddess Podcast, I'm inviting you into a world between worlds, where a woman named Elara ventures into the dark forest to rekindle her light. Guided by the Crone of the Cauldron, she discovers that true illumination isn’t borrowed or begged... it’s fed by honesty, courage, and the willingness to face ...
In this episode of The Wild Goddess Podcast, I'm sitting down with Kalie, founder of Soul Sister Society—a women’s self-development book club turned community hub for real growth. We talk about turning pages into practice (hello reading journals, accountability, and taking action), why self-development can feel lonely, and how sisterhood, rituals and reflection make the work actually stick. Kalie shares how her book club evolved into a wider spiritual space with chapter-by-chapter podcast sum...
In this episode of The Wild Goddess Podcast, I am sharing an original folkloric tale—The Story of Tulip and Her Wild Garden. A magical story woven with wisdom for our modern lives. Tulip’s dream was to build the most beautiful flower garden the village had ever seen. But in her pursuit of perfection, she lost sight of herself, her friends, and the very magic she longed to share. This enchanting story carries a timeless message: the importance of balance between doing and being, masculin...
This week I’m joined by the amazing mythologist and author Jasmine Elmer—the voice behind the book Goddess with a Thousand Faces—for a grounded, feminist tour through goddess mythology, witchcraft, and the art of re-enchantment in everyday life. We talk about finding belonging through myth and folklore, why goddesses are multifaceted, and how stories like Persephone’s descent and the night-queen Nyx can help modern women navigate grief, creativity, identity and seasonal cycles. Jasmine shares...
This episode wasn’t planned — it was born in the middle of labelling wax melts when the emotion of everything finally hit me. I realised I hadn’t stopped to celebrate bringing this dream to life. Instead, I felt the emotional heaviness of launching — the highs, the tears, the bubbling joy, and the sudden drop that comes after. In this raw reflection, I talk about: ✨ Why big life events and business launches carry so much emotional weight ✨ The “bubble bursting” moment and the desc...
Self-doubt has a way of wrapping itself around us like a heavy cloak — stitched from fear, silence, and old stories of “not enough.” In this October Pocket Spell, you are invited to lay that cloak down, let the fire devour it, and step into the mantle of confidence that was always yours. Through folklore, witch-fire, and word-magic, this transmission stirs the soul and calls you into your power. You’ll hear the Witch’s incantation, feel the shedding of fear, and step forward wrapped not in do...
Welcome to the first in my new Pocket Spells series — short transmissions you can return to whenever life feels heavy, stressful, or overwhelming. This Gratitude Pocket Spell is here to help you shift your perspective, reframe your thoughts, and soften the spiral of “not enough.” Through goddess wisdom, myth, and the everyday magic of nature, I guide you back into presence, reminding you that gratitude is always waiting — in a feather, an acorn, a shard of sunlight. ✨ These pocket...

The Equinox Threshold invites you to pause at the balance point between light and dark, harvest and shadow, as the Wheel of the Year turns toward the descent into winter. In this meditation, you’ll be guided through an enchanting landscape where golden fields meet shadowed forests, carrying a lantern that holds your inner light. Along the way, archetypal guides—the Reaper, the Weaver, and the Keeper of ...
In this episode of The Wild Goddess Podcast, we step into the liminal — the hedgerows, crossroads, and dusky thresholds where folklore tells us the veil is thin. Noticing is more than mindfulness; it is resistance, remembrance, and a way of walking awake in a distracted world. I’ll share the wisdom of crow as messenger and guide, explore how goddesses like Hecate, Artemis, and Demeter teach us to notice differently, and show how the seasons themselves invite us into shifting ways of attention...
