Rather than feeding rage or polarizing narratives, she encourages protecting your consciousness and asking a deeper question How am I in service to life continuing?This conversation is a reminder that you are not broken and you do not need fixing. You are being invited to create, to imagine, and to embody your own feminine authority in service to what wants to live through you.Connect with Lisa:Join me on Substack: This Enchanted LifeIf you’re craving deeper connection, mythic insight, and soulful storytelling—step into This Enchanted Life, my Substack community where you'll be guided to reconnect with your imagination, your creativity, and the archetypal wisdom that lives deep in your bones.https://lisamarierankin.substack.com/ Book: The Goddess SolutionInstagram: @lisamarierankinWebsite: lisamarierankin.comRate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts:If your inner feminine is connecting with the Goddess School podcast, I’d love to hear from you.

What if your longing, your desire, and even your pleasure were not distractions from the divine but the very doorway to it?Lisa explores the Lover archetype as a devotional path, inviting you to experience spirituality not as discipline or performance, but as embodied romance with the Divine. Drawing on bhakti yoga, the devotion of Radha and Krishna, the mysticism of Teresa of Ávila, and even ancient erotic sacred texts, she reveals how Eros has always been a gateway to awakening. Beauty, longing, and sensual presence are reframed as portals rather than indulgences.This is a reclamation of sacred desire and an invitation to become a lover of the Divine in your everyday life. When devotion becomes embodied, spirituality becomes alive, luminous, and deeply personal.Connect with Lisa:Join me on Substack: This Enchanted LifeIf you’re craving deeper connection, mythic insight, and soulful storytelling—step into This Enchanted Life, my Substack community where you'll be guided to reconnect with your imagination, your creativity, and the archetypal wisdom that lives deep in your bones.https://lisamarierankin.substack.com/Book: The Goddess SolutionInstagram: @lisamarierankinWebsite: lisamarierankin.comRate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts:If your inner feminine is connecting with the Goddess School podcast, I’d love to hear from you.

What if the wisdom you have been taught to fear is actually the key to your sovereignty?In this powerful conversation, Lisa Marie Rankin sits down with Jungian analyst and author Muriel McMahon to explore the living archetype of Baba Yaga and what she represents for women in midlife and beyond. Together, they unpack the crone archetype, feminine authority, sovereignty, shadow work, and the courageous journey toward soul fire. Muriel challenges common narratives about patriarchy, feminism, and spiritual empowerment while offering a deeper Jungian lens on archetypes as energetic forces rather than costumes we put on.This dialogue invites women to reclaim their wisdom without apology, to honor the sacred tasks of everyday life, and to recognize that true authority comes from within. If you feel the old woman knocking, this conversation will help you understand why and what she is asking of you.Connect with Muriel McMahon:https://www.morbidanatomy.org/https://www.jungarchademy.com/Baba Yaga’s Wisdom: A Jungian Spiritual Memoir - https://a.co/d/08844RDXToward a Sacred End: Jungian Individuation and the Liturgical Cycle - https://a.co/d/09kDnNVrConnect with Lisa:Join me on Substack: This Enchanted LifeIf you’re craving deeper connection, mythic insight, and soulful storytelling—step into This Enchanted Life, my Substack community where you'll be guided to reconnect with your imagination, your creativity, and the archetypal wisdom that lives deep in your bones.https://lisamarierankin.substack.com/Book: The Goddess SolutionInstagram: @lisamarierankinWebsite: lisamarierankin.comRate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts:If your inner feminine is connecting with the Goddess School podcast, I’d love to hear from you.

What if desire was not something to suppress, but a sacred force guiding you back to yourself?This exploration of the lover archetype reveals beauty, pleasure, and sensuality as gateways to spiritual awakening rather than indulgences to outgrow. Through myth, psychology, and goddess wisdom, the lover emerges as a vital life force that fuels creativity, devotion, and embodied presence. Aphrodite, Eros, and Psyche illuminate how longing can initiate transformation, deepen intimacy with life, and reconnect women to their vitality.When the lover is honored, life regains its shimmer and meaning. Desire becomes devotion, beauty becomes prayer, and embodiment becomes a sacred act of remembrance.Connect with Lisa:Join me on Substack: This Enchanted LifeIf you’re craving deeper connection, mythic insight, and soulful storytelling—step into This Enchanted Life, my Substack community where you'll be guided to reconnect with your imagination, your creativity, and the archetypal wisdom that lives deep in your bones.https://lisamarierankin.substack.com/ Book: The Goddess SolutionInstagram: @lisamarierankinWebsite: lisamarierankin.comRate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts:If your inner feminine is connecting with the Goddess School podcast, I’d love to hear from you.

What if reality is more malleable than we have been taught, and your consciousness is the key to freedom?This conversation explores the nature of reality as a dreamlike construct, how consciousness can be influenced through fear, trauma, and constant stimulation, and why imagination is one of the most powerful tools we have for reclaiming personal agency. Together, we unpack concepts like the matrix, mind parasites, loosh energy, and the impact of the modern news cycle on the nervous system, while pointing toward practical ways to protect your consciousness and disengage from energetic manipulation.By shifting attention inward, cultivating silence, and restoring imagination, a new relationship with reality becomes possible, one rooted in creativity, sovereignty, and conscious choice. This dialogue invites a return to inner authority and a remembrance of what it means to live unbroken in a world designed to fragment attention.Connect with Sol:https://substack.com/@solluckmanConnect with Lisa:Join me on Substack: This Enchanted LifeIf you’re craving deeper connection, mythic insight, and soulful storytelling—step into This Enchanted Life, my Substack community where you'll be guided to reconnect with your imagination, your creativity, and the archetypal wisdom that lives deep in your bones.https://lisamarierankin.substack.com/Book: The Goddess SolutionInstagram: @lisamarierankinWebsite: lisamarierankin.comRate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts:If your inner feminine is connecting with the Goddess School podcast, I’d love to hear from you.

Reconnecting with the natural cycles of the earth restores a deeper sense of balance, belonging, and feminine power that modern life has stripped away.This conversation explores earth-based spirituality, ancestral reconnection, and intuitive magic through the lens of the Wheel of the Year and the sacred Sabbat of Imbolc. Themes of cyclical living, honoring seasonal rhythms, and reclaiming feminine wisdom are woven together with reflections on the shadow side of self-help culture, spiritual bypassing, and how women have been conditioned to see themselves as perpetually unfinished. The discussion also unpacks the crone archetype, the myths surrounding shadow work, and what it truly means to withdraw consent from patriarchal systems without force or fear.By grounding spiritual practice in nature, intuition, and ancestral memory, this dialogue invites a return to authenticity, sovereignty, and embodied wisdom that cannot be packaged, fixed, or sold. The path forward is not about becoming someone new, but remembering who you have always been.Connect with Ayana Madrone:Ayana's Substack:https://substack.com/@ayanamadroneAll Ayana's Offerings:https://linktr.ee/ayanamadroneConnect with Lisa:Join me on Substack: This Enchanted LifeIf you’re craving deeper connection, mythic insight, and soulful storytelling—step into This Enchanted Life, my Substack community where you'll be guided to reconnect with your imagination, your creativity, and the archetypal wisdom that lives deep in your bones.https://lisamarierankin.substack.com/In person retreat: https://programs.lisamarierankin.com/romantasyBook: The Goddess SolutionInstagram: @lisamarierankinWebsite: lisamarierankin.comRate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts:If your inner feminine is connecting with the Goddess School podcast, I’d love to hear from you.

Reclaiming beauty begins when women stop asking for permission and start inhabiting their bodies with devotion, curiosity, and pleasure.This conversation explores how nature-based boudoir photography becomes a ritual of embodied sovereignty rather than a performance for approval. From unraveling purity culture to reclaiming sensuality, imagination, and play, the discussion weaves together feminine embodiment, beauty beyond youth, and the healing power of being witnessed without judgment.What emerges is an invitation to choose vitality over perfection and self-indulgence over self-denial. Beauty becomes a living experience rather than an image, reminding women that pleasure, presence, and creative expression are sacred acts of remembrance.Connect with Wren:https://wrenmorrow.comhttps://instagram.com/_wrenmorrowConnect with Lisa:https://programs.lisamarierankin.com/romantasy Join me on Substack: This Enchanted LifeIf you’re craving deeper connection, mythic insight, and soulful storytelling—step into This Enchanted Life, my Substack community where you'll be guided to reconnect with your imagination, your creativity, and the archetypal wisdom that lives deep in your bones.https://lisamarierankin.substack.com/Book: The Goddess SolutionInstagram: @lisamarierankinWebsite: lisamarierankin.com

Sacred disobedience has always been the moment when feminine awakening truly begins.This reflection explores the outlaw archetype through myth, psychology, and lived experience, revealing how women awaken not through obedience but through curiosity, truth, and inner authority. Stories of Eve, Psyche, and Bluebeard’s young wife are woven together with Carl Jung’s teachings on individuation and shadow work, reframing the so called good girl conditioning that keeps many women compliant, quiet, and disconnected from their power.Rather than reckless rebellion, sacred disobedience is shown as discernment and devotion to inner wisdom. When women choose wholeness over approval, they begin the path back to their deepest truth and creative power.Connect with Lisa:Meet Your Inner Outlaw in this Active Imaginationhttps://lisamarierankin.substack.com/p/meet-your-inner-outlaw-active-imaginationLearn more about Sacred Disobedience in The Feminine Art of Breaking the Ruleshttps://lisamarierankin.substack.com/p/the-feminine-art-of-breaking-theJoin me on Substack: This Enchanted LifeIf you’re craving deeper connection, mythic insight, and soulful storytelling—step into This Enchanted Life, my Substack community where you'll be guided to reconnect with your imagination, your creativity, and the archetypal wisdom that lives deep in your bones.https://lisamarierankin.substack.com/Book: The Goddess SolutionInstagram: @lisamarierankinWebsite: lisamarierankin.comRate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts:If your inner feminine is connecting with the Goddess School podcast, I’d love to hear from you.

Healing is not about perfection; it is about remembering who you are beneath the labels, diagnoses, and stories.Depth psychotherapist Vanessa Bennett joins Lisa Marie Rankin to explore the messy middle between spiritual bypassing and wallowing, why self-obsession can keep us stuck, and how service and community help us rise above our own drama. They unpack anxious attachment and dating culture, the TikTok-driven rise in ADHD self-diagnosis, and how our nervous systems are being hijacked by a world built on dysregulation. Vanessa shares her depth psychology view of the Self with a capital S, explaining why boundaries are sacred micro-moments of self-remembrance, and how her book, "The Motherhood Myth," maps the myths, motherhood, and patriarchy that keep women isolated and ashamed.This conversation cuts through labels, questions why partnership is so often pursued from wounded places, and reframes healing as a return to inner balance between masculine and feminine. It reminds us that nothing is wrong with us; we are remembering who we are in a world designed to keep us fragmented.Connect with Vanessa:https://www.vanessabennett.com/https://www.instagram.com/vanessasbennett/ Connect with Lisa:Join me on Substack: This Enchanted LifeIf you’re craving deeper connection, mythic insight, and soulful storytelling—step into This Enchanted Life, my Substack community where you'll be guided to reconnect with your imagination, your creativity, and the archetypal wisdom that lives deep in your bones.https://lisamarierankin.substack.com/ Book: The Goddess SolutionInstagram: @lisamarierankinWebsite: lisamarierankin.comRate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts:If your inner feminine is connecting with the Goddess School podcast, I’d love to hear from you.  Your feedback helps me support you on your sacred journey.Scroll to the bottom, tap to rate with five stars, and select “Write a Review.”  Be sure to let me know what you resonated with the most in this episode!  And if you haven’t done so already, give the podcast a follow, so you’ll be notified when a new episode comes out.

When life feels like it is burning to the ground, the goddess Kali might be clearing the way for your freedom.Host Lisa Marie Rankin explores the wild, liberating and often terrifying medicine of Kali, the Hindu goddess of transformation and breaking through the status quo. She shares the myth of Kali and the demon Raktabija, explains how crises like divorce, job loss or health scares can be expressions of Kali energy, and tells a vulnerable story of how the ruins of her own marriage became the doorway to a more aligned, soulful life. Listeners are invited to notice where safety has become a gilded cage, where they are numbing instead of growing, and how Kali cuts away what no longer serves so a truer self can emerge.To work with Kali consciously, Lisa offers simple practices like meditating with her image, journaling on where you are choosing safety over growth, and reading the signs inside everyday chaos as invitations to deeper liberation. You will walk away with a new understanding of destruction as an act of love and a reminder that your soul is always calling you toward greater freedom.Connect with Lisa:Join me on Substack: This Enchanted LifeIf you’re craving deeper connection, mythic insight, and soulful storytelling—step into This Enchanted Life, my Substack community where you'll be guided to reconnect with your imagination, your creativity, and the archetypal wisdom that lives deep in your bones.https://lisamarierankin.substack.com/ Book: The Goddess SolutionInstagram: @lisamarierankinWebsite: lisamarierankin.comRate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts:If your inner feminine is connecting with the Goddess School podcast, I’d love to hear from you.  Your feedback helps me support you on your sacred journey.Scroll to the bottom, tap to rate with five stars, and select “Write a Review.”  Be sure to let me know what you resonated with the most in this episode!  And if you haven’t done so already, give the podcast a follow, so you’ll be notified when a new episode comes out.

Winter can become a sacred season for grieving, composting pain, and remembering who you truly are.Lisa Marie Rankin shares a deeply personal reflection on wintering after the sudden loss of her mother, describing how grief feels like a heavy weight on the body and soul. She explores winter as a sacred pause, a time to slow down, create white space, tend to home and family, nourish the body, and reconnect with spiritual practice through meditation, prayer, writing, and walking in nature. Drawing on mythic stories of Persephone and Inanna, she reclaims the underworld as a realm of transformation where grief and pain are alchemized into power, sovereignty, and wisdom, while also challenging the impact of short-form social media on our attention, self-energy, and connection to the divine.Lisa invites you to return to long-form content, deep imagination, and self-connection, and to explore these themes with her through Substack, archetypal movies, book clubs, and Divine Feminine teachings.
