I'm Justine, a self-leadership storytelling, a design whisperer, and a witch. This podcast is a voice note between friends. In its 3rd Season, the content is "in-real-time" what I am going through and what is being integrated in the collective. Dip in for inspiration, epiphanies, and for a friend on the pathway of self-realization.
This episode explores autumn as a season of urgency, transition, and impending hibernation, and how our relationship with weather mirrors our relationship with work, productivity, and rest.
It connects the seasonal cycle to the menstrual cycle, arguing that the authority, boundaries, and raw expression associated with the luteal phase (PMS) are qualities society often asks women to suppress.
Ultimately, it invites us to notice the tension between autumn’s remaining energy and winter’s pull toward slowing down, reflection, and regeneration—and to honour that transition rather than resisting it.

8. How to Properly Quest & What Most People Miss
Whether you're an avid side-quester or a lover of mythopoetic questing – there's something to be said about 'the art of a quest'. In this episode, I break down the 4 phases:1. manic mapping2. go hiking3. enjoy the summit4. go home integrationI share my channelled framework of questing, and I elaborate on the importance of phases 3 & 4. The two phases our society rarely makes time for – as our problems are imminent, urgent and demand we ONLY explore phases 1 & 2 on repeat; until something sticks. It rarely does.I also mention @MarthaBeckauthor (https://www.youtube.com/@MarthaBeckauthor) and her podcast The Gathering Room. How I came across her work during my concussion recovery (in April) and how her latest podcast about finite and infinite games connects to Questing.

7. You Chose Shibari
"Shibari" is the Japanese art of decorative rope bondage. Often associated within sexual kink, I explore it in the content of a tarot reading and where the 8 of Swords was pulled. In the collective reading, insight was received that anything we don't like in our lives, at one point we chose, we loved it, it was the fulfillment of some sort of fantasy.
Like a lover who is tied up and their body begins to panic – the opportunity is to ask ourselves: how can I find pleasure in this?
Knowing part of me once longed for this situation.
What do I need now to enjoy this dynamic so I can move through it with curiosity and trust?
