Have you ever felt disconnected from your body? That sense of living entirely in your head, caught in a cycle of productivity, discipline, and intellect? You're not alone.

In this deeply personal episode, I explore how modern life has trapped many of us in what I call the "Athena mind" – that intellectual, wisdom-driven headspace that society rewards but that slowly distances us from our natural, magical selves. After years of building my yoga teaching practice and entrepreneurial skills, I realized that my dedication to discipline and growth had inadvertently pulled me away from the embodied wisdom and cyclical awareness that once guided me.

Spirituality isn't about crystals or chanting (though there's nothing wrong with either!) – it's about remembering our place within nature's patterns. It's recognizing, as Brené Brown beautifully states, "that we are all inextricably connected by something greater than us." That connection doesn't need a religious label to be powerful; it simply needs our attention and devotion.

I share practical ways to bridge this gap: how yoga reactivates neural pathways numbed by trauma, how simple daily rituals create touchpoints with our deeper selves, and how working with archetypes can mirror aspects of our psyche we've forgotten or repressed. My own ritual of reflecting on astrological archetypes during new and full moons became a profound mirror that helped me navigate years without a permanent home – and it's a practice I'm recommending and recommitting to now.

Join me on this journey back to your intrinsic nature. Whether you consider yourself spiritual or skeptical, there's magic in reconnecting with the animal wisdom your body already holds. What rituals might help you remember?
