072: Podcasting and the Priestess Path with Bertena

What does it actually mean to be a priestess, and can anyone walk that path?I'm joined by Bertena, a priestess, Reiki master, somatic yoga teacher, and spirit guide communicator who helps women reconnect with their intuition and sacred purpose. Bertena opens up about her winding path through Reiki, tarot, oracle work, and priestess teaching, and how she built a business around honoring the many directions her gifts have taken her. We talk about the guilt so many spiritual practitioners feel around charging for their work, why energy exchange (yes, including money) matters, and how staying true to yourself is what actually grows a sustainable business. Bertena also shares the story behind her podcast, The Spiritual Sanctuary, her nonfiction workbooks on Reiki and tea leaf reading, and why she believes AI can never replace the authentic, imperfect, human voice behind a podcast.This conversation is a beautiful reminder that being a priestess isn't about perfection; it's about trusting yourself and living intentionally. Bertena's story shows what's possible when you stop hiding your gifts and start sharing them fully.Start listening to The Spiritual Sanctuary - Episode 73: https://pod.link/1576106673/episode/M2EyZTE0YjItY2NhNi00YjU5LTkxNDMtNzBhZjUzZTllZTZmVisit Bertena: https://www.bertena.org/enSubstack: https://substack.com/@bertena11Special Thanks to Cosmic Connections for their generous offerings.
