136. Walking the Path of The Sacred Feminine with Liz Childs Kelly

Are you interested in walking the path of the sacred feminine? Would you like to know more about the difference between history and herstory and how the Sacred Feminine shows up in our current culture? Well, you're going to love today's guest, Liz Childs Kelly, a writer, award-winning researcher, educator, community builder, and host of the popular Home to Her podcast, which is dedicated to amplifying the voices of the Sacred Feminine. She is also the author of the new book, Home to Her: Walking the Transformative Path of the Sacred Feminine. Her writing has been featured in a variety of publications, including Forbes, Mashable, Rebelle Society, Human Parts (a Medium publication), and Braided Way, as well as the Girl God Books anthology Just as I am: Hymns Affirming the Divine Female. An initiated priestess in the 13 Moons lineage, she also holds certifications in Reiki, as well as Vinyasa and Yin Yoga.  Liz lives in rural Virginia with her family, and can often be found exploring the nearby Blue Ridge Mountains or wandering the woods behind her home.  I absolutely love including Liz’s unique, special perspective on Awakening Aphrodite. In fact, she's been on the show before! You might want to check out Episode 70, which is about connecting to your Sacred Feminine through indigenous wisdom and transcending the traditional patriarchal career path. We discuss Liz's backstory there as well, so you might want to check that out to find out more. In this episode, we talk about surrendering to the creative mission versus "pushing the river," per say. This flexibility and openness to all possibilities perfectly describes Liz's process of writing and publishing her new book, which you'll hear a lot more about throughout our conversation. We talk about the moon cycle and prayer practices, the archetype of the muse and the spiritual power of imagination. And, we talk about how the Sacred Feminine is not the same for everyone. Just like everything in life, right? And lastly, Liz shares tips to start walking the path of the Sacred Feminine yourself. And I'll give you a little hint.
