Maps of Becoming - The Eudaimonia Podcast

If someone handed me the story of Kim Morrison ’s life, till now, as a novel, I know I wouldn’t be able to put it down. It is the unfolding tale of a beautiful little girl, whose light was a magnet for unimaginable evil. But somehow her light never dimmed. Hers is the story of a child who at 9 navigated more horror and heartbreak than any child should have to endure. Born to a mother who was 17, t...

1. Learning about wolves 2. Two clients messaging me in one weekend 3. A question in my messages this morning asking - how exactly do I help people reconnect to being who they were meant to be. What Life University has taught me. “Maybe the journey isn’t so much about becoming anything. Maybe it’s about un-becoming everything that isn’t really you, so you can be who you were meant to be in the fir...

I want to open a door for you. A door into a private world, where women tell other women stories. Stories that will take your breath away. Stories that will shock you, and make you grit your teeth in fury. Stories that will make you snort with laughter, as you bury your face in your hands. Stories that will make your eyes widen with wonder and awe. Real life women, living real life fairy tales. Th...

Episode 5 — The Hierophant | The Archetype of the Role ModelConsciously or unconsciously, we are always watching and being watched. So, there is much to be gained from noticing what you notice —what magnetises you,what repels you,and who embodies the way of being that epitomises who you want to be in the world. What are those ways of being? Becoming consciously aware of what you are role modelling...

Hello beautiful women, This week on Maps of Becoming, I explore one of the most powerful archetypes in the Tarot: The Empress. The Great Mother. The Earth Mother. The archetype of abundance, creativity, nurture, fertility, love, renewal, truth, and ferocious devotion to life itself. And unexpectedly, this conversation arrived just days after I became a grandmother for the very first time. In this...

Stories for women—stories that reveal their secrets with time, experience, and reflection. Each one, a Map of Becoming. Each archetype, an aspect of self. The earlier they are received, the better…And it is also never too late. What seems simple begins, with time, to reveal itself as something far more intricate. This is the first story. It is no accident that this story stands at the very beginni...

A good story is never just a story. It is a map. A map of becoming. And within that map live the forces that shape who you are, who you have been, and who you are becoming. I’m sharing this with you on my 54th birthday—a moment that, as with all anniversaries of the day we arrived earthside, is a threshold. In this episode, I take you deeper into my own story—beyond the rupture, into the retreat,...

Today is the 17th of April 2026. A New Moon hovers overhead. A turning of the Wheel of Fortune. A full cycle that has completed, and the dawning of a great change has arrived. I have chosen to mark this day with a beginning that feels like a leap into the unknown. It is not the innocent leap of a small child, but rather a mature innocence that comes with birthing something new into the world, know...

Imagine for a moment hearing the story of Cinderella or Beauty and the Beast but without the pain, rejection, uncertainty, aloneness, and grief. Without the rupture in their identity and the complete destruction of the fabric of their reality. Without the experiences in their lives that invited them to dig deep, to navigate chaos, to stay kind in the face of envy, to discover their innate resilien...

Some stories are embedded with a living wisdom your soul knows well. This is one of them. As I read The Wild Swans by Hans Christian Andersen, I was struck again and again by the depth of archetypal meaning contained within. What follows is a stream of contemplations, organised into themes, archetypes, symbols, and insights, all existing within the soul of the one female character, Eliza. This sto...

Leaving school, roughly three and a half decades ago, it had been decided that I didn’t have a creative bone in my body. The experts (my teachers), who assessed this dire situation, concurred that not only was I not creative, I wasn’t really much of anything. Not sporty, not academic, not musical, not artistic… not, really anything deemed enough or worthy. Visiting the careers counsellor in Year 1...

There are seasons in life when everything feels uncertain—when unease clings, and joy, if it comes at all, appears only as a flicker of light in the dark that disappears as quickly as it came. But it is from this place—in the dark, in the stillness, in the breaking down of life as we knew it—that something profound begins to grow. This reflection is for those moments. For the woman who senses ther...

The Eudaimonia Library is a reader-supported publication. To support my work, consider becoming a paid subscriber. I am certain I am not alone in struggling to put into words what unconditional love is, the kind of love a mother has for a child, as it feels like there simply are no words that do the feeling justice. However, in my devotion to learning the language of love, I feel I have created so...
