This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit divinefeminist.substack.com Well hello, and welcome back to another episode of The Divine Feminist. This episode is a bit of a mood shift from last time around, but we make no apologies for that.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit divinefeminist.substack.com Well hello, and welcome back to the Divine Feminist podcast. How are you, really? This episode is inspired, in no small part, by Ceryn’s Grandma. Who would absolutely love that, even though she’s never listened to a podcast in her life. And it’s also inspired by one of the phrases that makes Ceryn saddest: “T...

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit divinefeminist.substack.com Hello Loves and welcome back to this month’s episode of the Divine Feminist. It’s time for us to have a conversation about this industry that I’ve been sitting with for a long time — and that I feel many of you might have been thinking about too. The wellness industry has done some incredible things. It has b...

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit divinefeminist.substack.com Hello Loves and welcome back to this month's episode of the Divine Feminist. You may have noticed that this month has been a quiet one over at the Divine Feminist. There are many reasons for that — all of which we'll talk more about when the time is right — but perhaps none more than the thresholds Ceryn has...

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit divinefeminist.substack.com Hello Loves and welcome back, once again, to the Divine Feminist. With Solstice finally here, Ceryn invites us to join the Sun and take a moment to pause as we consider this month's big question: What if we were to go deeper, rather than wider? After all, we live in a world that encourages us to become collec...

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit divinefeminist.substack.com Hello Loves and welcome back, once again, to the Divine Feminist. This month we're journeying with a topic that has been close to Ceryn's heart recently, and one that might just feel close to yours too: The moment when you realise someone is doing the thing you had previously thought of as being "yours". As w...

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit divinefeminist.substack.com Hello Loves and, after a month away, welcome back to the Divine Feminist. It's a strange time to be a human isn't it? And though I'm not here to talk about all of the reasons for that, I am here to invite us to do something about it... Quite simply, to take a breath, step away from the crowd and stop asking f...

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit divinefeminist.substack.com Hello Loves, and welcome back to the Divine Feminist. Here we are not only at the start of Spring here in the Northern Hemisphere, but also - according to Chinese Astrology - at the start of a whole new year; that of the fire horse. Yet looking at the world around us, you'd be forgiven for thinking the symbol...

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit divinefeminist.substack.com Well hello! Welcome back to the Divine Feminist podcast for 2026 - and to the first episode of this new nine year cycle. As Ceryn considers her own biggest lesson of the year so far, she invites us all to journey with the idea of "sacredness" and asks, what would be sacred to us if no one told us what should...

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit divinefeminist.substack.com Well hello! And welcome back to the final episode of the Divine Feminist podcast for 2025. With Winter now fully upon us, the time has come for us to face up to both the simplest and the most challenging lesson that cyclical living has to offer us: Learning to sit in stillness. Join Ceryn to journey with that...

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit divinefeminist.substack.com Well hello! And welcome back to the Divine Feminist podcast! As we head towards the end of 2025, this collective year nine, it's time to return to a topic that has drawn close for so many of us over the past twelve months: grief and endings. And of course, when better to do that than as winter draws in and na...

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit divinefeminist.substack.com Well hello! And welcome back to the Divine Feminist podcast! This month, the Universe seems to be guiding us in a very particular direction: One that involves casting off our bindings, breaking the curses that have been placed upon us, and reclaiming what was always meant to be ours. It's time to go deeper th...

Well hello! And welcome to a special edition of the podcast with my good friend and Soul Sister Charlie Edwards. What's important enough for a special edition you may ask? Only the launch of a new Taylor Swift album... and as people who so often talk about the cross sections of storytelling and weaving, voice, feminism and the birthing of new paradigms, that's something we have a LOT to say on! So...

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit divinefeminist.substack.com Well hello! And after almost three years, welcome back to the Divine Feminist podcast. How are you, really? With Autumn upon us here in the Northern hemisphere, and Samhain season just around the corner, this time around we’re talking all things lineage and ancestry as I ask, how deep are your roots? Thank yo...

As we conclude our journey through the thirteen keys for self-reconnection and balance, Ceryn invites you to consider those ideas of Human and Soul, and what they really mean. All too often in these spiritually-focussed circles, we see our human selves being diminished and painted as less than the soulful side of us; but the truth is that both are vital. It is only within the synergy of the two th...

This month's episode of the Divine Feminist is a special one, as Ceryn talks with Laura Bates about her work and experiences to date. Founder of The Everyday Sexism Project and author of eight books to date, Laura is involved with a number of programmes and campaigns that demand real change from those at the very top of our societies, and works in schools across the UK and beyond to educate y...

As we move onto the twelfth of our thirteen keys for self connection and sacred balance, Ceryn invites you to journey with the ideas of outcome and possibility. We live in a world that so often wants us to focus on outcomes; definitive outcomes that can be objectively glasses as "good" or "successful". And there are definitely times when such a clear focus is useful or even nec...

As we move on to the eleventh of our thirteen keys for self connection and sacred balance, Ceryn invites you to journey with her as she faces one of the scariest topics of all: Death. But how would our relationship with that concept - and equally with the ideas of life, birth and rebirth - be if we had been raised in a world that focussed more on the yin side of life? A world that taught us life w...

As we continue our journey through the thirteen keys to sacred balance and self re-connection, we come back to that very idea of connection and, in particular, what that means when it comes to ourselves. We are all multi-faceted beings; different voices within us bringing their thoughts, hopes and fears to the table, while the fact that we exhibit different aspects of ourselves in different situat...

As we continue our journey through the thirteen keys for sacred balance and self-reconnection, Ceryn invites you to consider the idea of boundaries - what they are and how we set them. Boundaries are something we hear a lot about in today's world, and even more so as we walk this path of Divine Feminism and realise that, for all of patriarchy's work to steer us away from boundaries, neit...

It sounds like a contradiction doesn't it? Yet as we journey with allowing, the eighth key to self-reconnection and sacred balance, that's exactly where we find ourselves.  We live in a world of action, shoulds and to-do lists; one that will tell us that doing is the only way to be. But of course we know that's not the case, that the true sense of being is much more flowing; is some...

When it comes to these thirteen keys to self-connection and alignment, pleasure is perhaps the one that has had the most myths built around it by patriarchy.  Yet to reclaim pleasure on our own terms is to reclaim our power, and so much more besides.  So what does that involve? And how do we work out what the word even means for us?  Join Ceryn to dive into the idea of pleasure; the myths and lies...

As we continue to work through the thirteen keys to self-connection and sacred balance, we come to key six, responsibility. And with it, we remember the words of Spiderman's Uncle Ben: "with true power comes true responsibility." Because that's precisely where responsibility becomes so important; at a time that increasingly asks and invites us to step into our power, the key to...

As we journey together through the thirteen keys to self re-connection and sacred balance, Ceryn invites you to think about your own experiences with faith over the past few weeks, and shares insight into her journey with this. After all, working with these keys is not as simple as a discussion, or some time spent pondering while listening to a podcast, but has a tendency to be much more in-depth....

Faith has become such a burdensome and often empty world in our societies today, but I truly believe it's one of the most important qualities we can cultivate. Not necessarily in a God, Goddess or anything else outside of ourselves - although what you choose to believe in is entirely up to you, but faith in yourself and in the world around us. After all, faith is what gives us a reason to kee...
