The Return of the Red Tent

What if your worth was never meant to be earned? Venus is deep in her descent, walking down through the seven gates like Inanna, and on Saturday 24 October she meets the heart of the Sun. Venus retrograde in Scorpio asks one question: where have I placed my worth outside of myself? In this episode I share how I realised, after decades of inner work and 30 years as an acupuncturist, that my worth h...

Is it just me, or does part of you feel called to something big, while another part keeps you quietly, politely small? Last episode we met the witch wound. This time we go deeper, into what happens when it tangles with the sister wound: the fear of being judged by other women, tall poppy syndrome, and the classroom conditioning that taught us to compete instead of gather. In this episode, Sister:...

Venus is about to disappear from the sky. If you've felt the pull lately to go inward, get quiet, lock the door and close the world away, Sister, this is why. On 3 October 2026, Venus stations retrograde in Scorpio, the sign of the underworld, death and rebirth, for the first time since 2018. For roughly forty days she descends, meets the Sun in the underworld, and rises again as the Morning S...

What is a witch ? Not the creature you were taught to fear — but a woman in total possession of herself: wise, intuitive, creative, a healer. That's the whole terrifying secret. In this first episode on the witch wound, I trace where our fear of being fully seen actually comes from — the burning times, the dismantling of the red tent, and the memory we carry in our blood and bones, passed down...

Chiron is known as the Wounded Healer—the place in your birth chart where an old wound can become the medicine only you are able to carry. As Chiron stations retrograde directly on my natal Chiron, I’m returning to this podcast differently: less polished, less palatable and far less diluted. This episode is both a teaching and a reclamation—of my voice, my work and the conversations I am truly her...

What if your body isn't working against you? What if the exhaustion, anxiety, bloating, weight gain, burnout, hormone changes and symptoms you've been fighting are actually your body's way of asking you to slow down and listen? In this episode, I share one of my favourite metaphors about the forgotten horse—a story that completely changes the way we relate to our bodies. Together we&#3...

If you've ever been curious about women's circles but quietly thought, "I don't know if that's for me," this conversation is for you. So many women long for sisterhood while feeling nervous about being seen, speaking up, or trusting other women again. In this episode, we gently explore the sister wound, nervous system safety, sacred agreements, belonging, and why circle c...

Sister, you are not broken , failing or falling behind! What if the exhaustion you're carrying isn't because you're failing—but because you've been trying to carry a life that was never meant to be carried alone? In the first episode of The Return of the Red Tent , Star explores why so many women feel disconnected, overwhelmed, and lonely despite living in a world that has never be...

"I don't really know what circle means... it actually sounds a little intimidating." When a woman wrote those words to me, everything changed. I realised I'd been speaking the language of women's circles for so long that I'd forgotten many women have never experienced one—and don't know what actually happens inside. In this episode, we gently unravel the mystery. You&...

Have you ever wondered why some days you feel creative, confident, and capable of anything... and other days you can barely answer an email? What if there was never anything wrong with you? In this episode, we explore one of the greatest misconceptions women have been taught—that we should live with the same energy, motivation, and productivity every single day. The truth is, women aren't desi...
