The Woo Curious Podcast

A cup of tea. A candle. Bare feet in grass. That's it. That's the magic.In this solo episode, Eileen digs into something that keeps coming up: the way capitalism has co-opted witchcraft, selling it back to us as a product, an aesthetic, a thing we're always one purchase away from doing properly. And why that is so completely, fundamentally counter to what witchcraft actually is.This one started with a reel of a cup of tea and a candle that went viral... because something in it rang true for tens of thousands of people. In this episode:How the "witch aesthetic" took hold on social media and who benefitsWhy you are not one selenite wand away from being a real witchWhat witchcraft actually isThe ethical sourcing conversation we're not having enough around crystals, herbs, and altar itemsWho was persecuted during the burning times and what reclaiming witchcraft actually means in that contextThe through line into Unleash Your Inner Witch: it's called unleash for a reason. Not build. Not buy. Unleash.Why the community inside Unleash is the magic and why it will never become an evergreen course"Wouldn't it be a great F-U to the system to practice your craft wholly with scavenged, foraged, salvaged, and secondhand items?"Unleash Your Inner Witch (starts October 26th) https://www.myluminouslife.ca/unleash-your-inner-witchJoin the Wise Wild Woman Collective on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/wisewildwomancollective🎙️ Leave a review, share with a friend, reach out; it means more than you knowJoin me for the next Wheel of the Year Ceremony: https://www.myluminouslife.ca/wheel-of-the-year-ceremoniesSubscribe to Eileen on Substack: https://wisewildwomanhearth.substack.com/Take the Which Witch Are You Quiz: Order Awaken to the Magic Within: https://www.myluminouslife.ca/awaken-to-the-magic-withinConnect with Eileen on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/iameileenmarchFollow Eileen on Insight Timer: https://insighttimer.com/iameileenmarchSend Eileen an email at [email protected]

Why Spirituality Isn't a Solo Journey: 3 Years of the Woo Curious PodcastThree years ago, Eileen sat down in front of a microphone with her dear friend Ellie and started talking about all things woo. She suspected she wasn't alone in her curiosity. She had no idea just how right she was.In this special birthday episode, the first of Season 4 of the Woo Curious Podcast, Eileen reflects on three seasons, 150 episodes, and the thread that has run through all of it: that we are more alike than different, that the loneliness so many of us carry is collective, and that the spiritual path was never meant to be walked alone.In this episode: ● Where it all began: two friends behind a microphone, a lot of curiosity, and very little idea what the show would become ● What dozens of conversations with women from around the world have confirmed about the human experience ● The paradox of speaking into a microphone alone while being genuinely, energetically in community ● Why the isolated, individual spiritual healing journey is a product of capitalist, patriarchal structures, not a feature of real spirituality ● We are wired for interdependence, not independence ● Eileen's hope for Season 4... more embodied, more communal, more grounded in actual practice ● The new Wise Wild Woman Collective Facebook group (open to all to join!) ● A love letter to the Woo Crew, and an invitation to reach back"I am not a guru sitting on a mountaintop spouting gospel. I am a wayfinder, stumbling along, clearing the path, taking wrong turns, telling you not to go that way because there's brambles down there, and sharing as best I can the wisdom I have acquired on this journey so far." - Eileen🎁 Birthday bonus: Use code WOOCREW33 for 33% off anything on https://www.myluminouslife.ca/ **only 3 available, first come first served**🔮 Unleash Your Inner Witch starts October 26th https://www.myluminouslife.ca/unleash-your-inner-witch🌿 Join the Wise Wild Woman Collective on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1P8ZStodwW/🎙️ Leave a review, share with a friend, reach out; it means more than you knowJoin me for the next Wheel of the Year Ceremony: https://www.myluminouslife.ca/wheel-of-the-year-ceremoniesSubscribe to Eileen on Substack: https://wisewildwomanhearth.substack.com/?utm_campaign=profile_chipsTake the Which Witch Are You Quiz: https://dashboard.mailerlite.com/forms/101667/92633449696855773/shareOrder Awaken to the Magic Within https://www.myluminouslife.ca/awaken-to-the-magic-withinConnect with Eileen on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/iameileenmarchFollow Eileen on Insight Timer https://insighttimer.com/iameileenmarchSend Eileen an email at [email protected]

Join Eileen for the next cohort of Unleash Your Inner Witch https://www.myluminouslife.ca/unleash-your-inner-witchWhat happens when the high-achieving, driven version of you starts to cry for help and the universe turns up the volume until you have no choice but to listen?In this episode, Eileen sits down with Kat Reilly, bestselling author of Legally Zen, courtroom lawyer of nearly 20 years, and devoted single mom. Kat's path to spirituality wound through two bad concussions, near kidney failure, a toxic relationship, and the terrifying decision to write a book that outed her as someone who meditates and goes on retreats — while also being a serious lawyer. Spoiler: the reception was almost entirely a nothing burger.This conversation is warm, honest, and full of the kind of practical wisdom that actually lands in a busy life.In this episode: Two concussions, near kidney failure, and what it took for the universe to finally get Kat's attention The psychic who told her she needed to slow down... right after she'd just finished slowing downWhy knowing something intellectually and actually embodying it are two completely different things, and why most of us are still stuck in betweenThe pattern of replacing achievement goals with spiritual goals, and how we end up doing the same thing in a different arenaHow Kat creates space for spiritual practice as a single mom with a demanding legal career (hint: it's less precious than you might think)Why celebration is actually behavioral psychologyWhy the reception to her book was almost universally positive in ways she never expected The free Zen Extras kit is available right now at https://entouragemedia.ca/legally-zen/"Learn to discern what is your true inner wisdom versus what is all the noise. Before all the noise comes in, there's often a kernel of truth. That's the one to listen to." — Kat ReillyBIO:Kat Reilly is the best-selling author of Legally Zen - her debut book. Kat is a courtroom lawyer of nearly 20 years, a devoted single mom and, now, an author. She currently lives on Vancouver Island. When she is not working, momming, or writing, Kat can often be found out in nature, or on her back deck with a strong coffee and a good book. Kat realized long ago that she was not like other lawyers; she is a deeply feeling empath who has, for the last many years, been on a quiet quest for something 'more'.Follow Kat on Instagram @legallyzen_katreillyJoin Eileen for the next Wheel of the Year Ceremony: https://www.myluminouslife.ca/wheel-of-the-year-ceremoniesSubscribe to Eileen on Substack: https://wisewildwomanhearth.substack.com/?utm_campaign=profile_chipsTake the Which Witch Are You Quiz: https://dashboard.mailerlite.com/forms/101667/92633449696855773/shareOrder Awaken to the Magic Within https://www.myluminouslife.ca/awaken-to-the-magic-withinConnect with Eileen on Instagram / iameileenmarchFollow Eileen on Insight Timer https://insighttimer.com/iameileenmarchSend Eileen an email at [email protected]

Your animal sees everything. The good days, the hard days, the moments you'd rather not admit to. And they love you anyway — unconditionally, completely, and without agenda.In this episode, Eileen sits down with her dear friend and fellow Wild Medicine Energy Healers Training graduate Rose Stroh, an animal communicator and energy healer who gives animals a voice and helps people deepen their connections with the animals they love. This conversation is part origin story, part practical guide to animal communication, and part genuinely moving testament to what our animal companions are trying to show us about ourselves.In this episode:* Growing up with every domesticated animal imaginable, and how that innate connection became the foundation of Rose's work* Type 1 diabetes as a teacher: how a health crisis cracked open the path back to alignment* Two trips through corporate and what it took to finally leave for good* The senior foster dog who sat with Rose through one of the hardest seasons of her life* Diesel, Lucy, and the extraordinary story of an animal who told Rose six months in advance that he was leaving* What actually happens in an animal communication session and why animals often have wisdom for the human that has nothing to do with what they came to ask* Why animals won't spill your deepest secrets* Animism in practice: how Rose works with the consciousness of rooms, doors, and spaces* The difference between cats and dogs in how they show up in sessions"They see everything we do. They know all of us and they love us unconditionally anyway. Our souls are entirely bared to each other." — Rose StrohSend Rose an Email: [email protected] Take a peek at Rose's Website: www.Rosestroh.comFollow Rose on Instagram: //www.instagram.com/rosestrohanimalsTake a look at Roses's Linktree: https://linktr.ee/RoseStrohSign up for Unleash Your Inner Witch: https://www.myluminousife.ca/unleash-your-inner-witchJoin me for the next Wheel of the Year Ceremony: https://www.myluminouslife.ca/wheel-of-the-year-ceremoniesSubscribe to Eileen on Substack: https://wisewildwomanhearth.substack.com/?utm_campaign=profile_chipsTake the Which Witch Are You Quiz: https://dashboard.mailerlite.com/forms/101667/92633449696855773/shareOrder Awaken to the Magic Within https://www.myluminouslife.ca/awaken-to-the-magic-withinConnect with Eileen on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/iameileenmarchFollow Eileen on Insight Timer https://insighttimer.com/iameileenmarchSend Eileen an email at [email protected]

Balance isn't a fixed point you reach and hold on to. It's a breath a moment of equilibrium, before the shift.In this solo episode, Eileen explores the autumn equinox through Celtic history, the Wheel of the Year, the magic of the Harvest Moon, and a reframe of balance that might change how you carry it in your body. As the light and dark pause in ta moment of equality before the Wheel tips toward the dark half of the year, there's wisdom in this moment for us.In this episode:Why the autumn equinox is called a quarter day, and how it differs from the cross-quarter fire festivalsThe word Mabon: where it actually comes from, why Eileen doesn't use it, and why it's completely fine if you doThe three harvest festivals of the Wheel of the Year and where autumn equinox sits among themThe Harvest Moon: why it's called thatThe luteal phase parallel: how the body turns inward in autumn just as it does in the second half of the menstrual cycleWhy the common understanding of balance as a fixed equilibrium point is both appealing and impossibleWhere in your life things may have gotten rigid or out of alignment, and what this season is asking you to release"There is a day where the light and the dark are exactly equal — but it's one day among 365. It's a breath, and then it tips again."Get on the waitlist for Unleash Your Inner WitchJoin me for the next Wheel of the Year CeremonySubscribe to Eileen on SubstackTake the Which Witch Are You QuizOrder Awaken to the Magic Within Connect with Eileen on Instagram Follow Eileen on Insight Timer Send Eileen an email
