Goddess in Training is a podcast about what it really looks like to live by your intuition — even when it’s messy, uncertain, or completely off-script. Hosted by Sarah Stevenson, these are unfiltered conversations and personal stories about following inner nudges, making bold choices, and learning to trust yourself in a world that teaches you not to. It’s not always graceful, but it’s real. If you’re craving deeper self-trust, grounded wisdom, and the kind of honesty that makes you exhale — you’re in the right place. <br/><br/><a href="https://goddessintraining.substack.com?utm_medium=podcast">goddessintraining.substack.com</a>

Goddess in Training | Episode 48
<p><strong>About this episode:</strong> One year ago this week, Sarah launched Goddess in Training with three episodes, a brand new set of skills, and a pull she couldn’t explain. This week she marks the anniversary not with a polished retrospective but with something rawer — a solo reflection on what 47 episodes, a new job, a new relationship, and a season of creative resistance have quietly been teaching her.</p><p>Topics covered include the paradox of flow and structure, love as the connective tissue between all things seen and unseen, what her first three episodes were really about, plant medicine as a portal through emotion, coaching and the realization that we already hold what we’re seeking, and why an unmowed patch of lawn might be the whole point.</p><p><strong>Episodes referenced:</strong></p><p>* <a target="_blank" href="https://goddessintraining.substack.com/p/when-you-ignore-what-you-know?r=5jp2q1">Episode 1</a> — Emmanuel on relationships and intuition</p><p>* <a target="_blank" href="https://goddessintraining.substack.com/p/intuition-at-work-a-conversation?r=5jp2q1">Episode 2 </a>— Deborah Collins on intuition in the workplace</p><p>* <a target="_blank" href="https://goddessintraining.substack.com/p/new-podcast-episode-intuition-mediumship?r=5jp2q1">Episode 3</a> — Mage Marigold on mediumship</p><p>* <a target="_blank" href="https://open.substack.com/pub/goddessintraining/p/angelic-activation-and-listening?r=5jp2q1&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&timestamp=136.9">Jillie Clark</a> — angelic channeler</p><p>* <a target="_blank" href="https://open.substack.com/pub/goddessintraining/p/embracing-paradox-with-prashanthi?r=5jp2q1&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web">Prashanthi</a> — on paradox</p><p><strong>Connect with Sarah:</strong> <a target="_blank" href="https://www.goddessintraining.online/coaching">Website</a> | <a target="_blank" href="https://goddessintraining.substack.com/?utm_campaign=profile_chips">Substack</a> | <a target="_blank" href="https://www.instagram.com/goddess_in_training_podcast/">Instagram</a> | <a target="_blank" href="https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61575310003046">Facebook</a> | <a target="_blank" href="https://www.youtube.com/@goddessintrainingpodcast">YouTube</a></p><p>🎵 <strong>Music credit:</strong> Intro and outro music: Madre Ayahuasca by ArkawaUsed with permission.

The other kind. The low hum underneath everything. The fear of not being enough. Of not being taken care of. Of needing someone and discovering, again, that they aren’t really there.</p><p>I didn’t call it fear. I called it being independent. I called it I’ve got this.</p><p>But the body keeps score. And mine had been keeping score for a long time.</p><p>Last summer in Costa Rica, a bug bite became necrotizing fasciitis. Two weeks in a San Jose hospital. Surgery. Doctors drawing circles on my leg. And somewhere in that stillness, I saw clearly: the person beside me was physically present and emotionally absent. I had been pretending that was fine — because I had always been the one who was fine.</p><p>The body, it turns out, had a different opinion.</p><p>This week on Goddess in Training, I talked with Leah Reynolds of Mind Your Health Wellness. Leah was diagnosed with stage two breast cancer in 2012 and went through conventional treatment while simultaneously rebuilding her life on a completely different foundation. Then she received a second diagnosis: Takotsubo syndrome. Heartbreak syndrome. An unresolved grief had manifested as literal cardiac failure.</p><p>That was the moment everything shifted. If I can create this, I can uncreate this. Sit with that sentence.</p><p>In German New Medicine, developed by Dr. Ryke Geerd Hamer, every disease process begins with a biological conflict shock — an unexpected, isolating event for which we have no strategy. The body responds not with malfunction but with a biological program designed to adapt and survive. Where it manifests depends on how you interpret the shock. Two people nearly get hit by a car. One freezes in terror; one flips off the driver. Same event. Different organs potentially affected. Different programs initiated.</p><p>Leah asked the question I keep turning over: if twenty people live in identical conditions and they all get sick, why do they all get something different? Why breast cancer and not lung cancer? Why the gut and not the skin?</p><p>There has to be something that tips the scale. And underneath that tipping point, so often, is fear. Anita Moorjani, who survived a near-death experience after late-stage lymphoma, said it directly when Leah asked: fear. Bernie Siegel, the mind-body pioneer and Leah’s dear collaborator at 93, says the same. The unlived life. The marriage you stay in. The self you keep shrinking. These things erode us — not metaphorically. Literally.</p><p>What plant medicine did for both of us, in different ways, was remove fear long enough to feel what we were without it. Leah describes her joy going from zero to two thousand after San Pedro ceremony. Neural pathways not slowly rewired but directly, viscerally reset. She’s not prescribing it for everyone — the container matters enormously — but for her it was the proof of concept she needed to stop being afraid to live.</p><p>That’s what this whole conversation kept returning to: the fear of death as the engine underneath so much of what makes us sick. And the radical possibility that when we stop fearing death, we finally remember how to live — and the body, taking its cues from exactly that, begins to follow.</p><p>We’re all dying every day, Leah reminded me. It’s what you do with the time you’re here.</p><p>Find Leah at mindyourhealthwellness.com and on Instagram and Facebook. She is currently writing The Little Girl on the Porch, rooted in the belief that childhood emotional experience and adult onset illness are one continuous story.</p><p>If this landed somewhere in you, please leave a comment — I read every one.</p><p>With love, Sarah</p><p>Invocation: Hygieia — goddess not of cure, but of care. Of the daily tending. Of the understanding that healing is not the exception. It is what we are made for.</p><p><p>Goddess in Training is a reader-supported publication.

When the Parachute Explodes, That's the Magic

I always have. But for a long time, I said it a little quietly. Like it was something I believed in the way you believe in a dream you’re not quite ready to say out loud — hedging it with manifestation or intention or energy when I was in certain company. Using the safer words. The ones that come with a neuroscientific footnote attached.</p><p>My conversation with Maritza Schäfer shifted something in me.</p><p>Maritza grew up in Chile in a family of witches. Her grandmother initiated her into brujería. Magic wasn’t a belief system she adopted or a practice she found later in life during some searching season — it was simply the air she breathed. The sky-is-blue fact of her childhood. And when she moved to the United States at 18, she encountered something she genuinely hadn’t anticipated: a world that had forgotten how to work with the unseen.</p><p>She told me she looked around and thought, oh, you poor babies.</p><p>I laughed when she said it. And then I felt it land somewhere true.</p><p>Because here’s what I’ve been sitting with since our conversation ended: we have not been taught to work magic. We’ve been taught to produce. To optimize. To measure outcomes and justify every expenditure of energy with a legible result. And somewhere inside that system, we learned to distrust anything we couldn’t explain — including ourselves.</p> <br/><br/>Get full access to Goddess in Training at <a href="https://goddessintraining.substack.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=CTA_4">goddessintraining.substack.com/subscribe</a>
