"Nothing is birthed from the light. Everything is birthed from the darkness."
How do people find hope in the darkest times? In this episode, Mary Wagstaff invites listeners on a transformative journey of feminine healing and sober living, using the winter solstice as a metaphorical guide. Mary explores how the dark, quiet time of the year is a perfect opportunity for reflection and reconnection with oneself. She passionately discusses the importance of understanding the cycles of nature, phases of the moon, and the mysteries of feminine power.
This isn't just about abstaining from alcohol; it's about embracing a deeper connection with oneself and the world. Mary shares her personal experiences and those of her clients, illustrating how women often use alcohol as a way to tap into their playful, relaxed, and creative sides. She introduces the concept of the 'permission protocol,' which encourages women to give themselves permission to embrace their true selves without relying on alcohol.
With a sprinkle of humour and a lot of heart, Mary guides listeners through a process of self-discovery that promises freedom and catharsis. Listeners are encouraged to see sobriety as more than just avoiding alcohol; it's about reclaiming intuition and removing societal distortions. Mary's insights are both inspiring and practical, offering listeners tangible ways to start their own journey towards a life filled with love and authenticity.
So, are you ready to embrace your inner warrior of love and step into a new realm of self-discovery?
