In a world that constantly encourages us to improve, optimise, and become “better,” I’ve found myself asking a quieter question lately…
What if the real path isn’t self-development, but self-nurturing?

In this episode, I’m exploring the gentle but powerful difference between self-development and self-nurturing through the lens of myth, folklore, seasonal living, earth-based rituals, and goddess connection.

I share my own journey, from consuming traditional self-growth content to finding a deeper sense of understanding through story, land, and ancient wisdom. Because somewhere along the way, I stopped asking “how do I fix myself?” and started asking “how do I tend to myself?”

We also talk about nuance, something I feel is deeply missing in modern conversations about growth.
The truth is, we are complex beings.
We can want to be kind and still make mistakes.
We can grow without demanding perfection from ourselves or others.

Through myth and folklore, I’ve come to see that even the gods were layered and flawed!

Story reminds us that contradiction is human, and that growth is rarely simple or linear.

This episode is a soft, reflective exploration of:
self-nurturing vs self-development, human nuance, mythology as a mirror, seasonal living, and learning to see ourselves with more compassion.

Not as problems to be fixed.
But as stories still unfolding.

Friday the 13th has long been wrapped in superstition, fear, and shadow.
But what if it was never unlucky at all?

In this episode, we step beyond horror stories and into history, mythology, and the forgotten codes of the feminine.

This episode explores the true roots of Friday as the day of the Goddess - Frigg, Freyja, Venus, and the sacred meaning of the number 13 as a reflection of lunar cycles, feminine rhythms, and wholeness.

Together, we unravel how the sacred feminine was slowly reframed as dangerous, irrational, and “unlucky”… and how those narratives still echo in the way women silence their intuition, shrink their power, and distrust their depth.

This is not an episode about superstition.
It is about sovereignty.

Inside this audio:
• The historical roots of Friday as Goddess Day
• The sacred symbolism of the number 13 and the lunar cycle
• How cultural shifts and fear reshaped feminine power
• The emotional inheritance women still carry today
• Gentle reclamation rituals to embody your wholeness

This is your invitation to remember.
To reclaim.
To sit in the circle as the 13th, whole, cyclical, intuitive, and powerful.

Because Friday the 13th was never a curse.
It was a code.

In the old wood beyond Ashmere, where roots whisper and the air remembers, a spaniel named Oban discovers a friendship that will change his life.

When Oban begins to follow the quiet pull of Elderwood instead of the easy games of the meadow, the other dogs grow uneasy. Fear of the unknown leads them to trap Old Mossback, the ancient Rootkeeper of the wood, forcing Oban to decide whether he will shrink himself to fit in… or walk the path that calls him.

With the guidance of a few friends and the help of strange woodland beings, Oban must choose courage over comfort and truth over approval.

This is a folkloric inspired wisdom tale about intuition, belonging, fear, and the quiet strength it takes to remain rooted in who you truly are.

If you have ever felt different, too intuitive, too sensitive, too much then this story is for you.
