32: From Clinic to Cauldron: Jodi Spencer on Healing Through Shadow and Spirit

Can a trauma therapist become a witch and still help people heal? Jodi Spencer proves that not only is it possible—it might be the missing piece.Psychotherapist turned crossroads witch, Jodi Spencer blends Southern folk magic, shadow work, and ancestral reverence into a potent healing path rooted in divine feminine mysticism. She shares her journey of leaving traditional therapy behind to answer a soul-deep call, exploring how trauma healing through EMDR and somatic practices can only take us so far—and where witchcraft, archetypal embodiment, and spiritual sovereignty come in to carry us the rest of the way. Lisa and Jodi chat about navigating the descent into the underworld, reclaiming your authentic self, and the importance of not staying stuck in the shadow.This rich conversation covers witch archetypes, nervous system wisdom, and how reclaiming ancestral and magical tools leads to post-traumatic growth and spiritual rebirth. The result? A beautiful roadmap to remember who you are and rise into your mythic life.Topics discussed in this episode:* trauma therapy* witchcraft* spiritual alchemy* dark Goddesses* Psychotherapy* underworld journeyConnect with Jodi Spencer:https://www.jodiaspencer.com/Instagram: @jodi_a_spencerFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/templeofthegoddessjodispencerTemple of the Goddess Mystery School: https://temple-of-the-goddess.mn.co/admin/landing-pageSacred Circle Coven: https://sacred-circle-coven.mn.co/landingConnect with LisaInstagram: @lisamarierankinWebsite: lisamarierankin.comBook: The Goddess SolutionJoin Lisa's Divine Feminine Mystery SchoolRead A Court of Thorns and Roses with a fantastic group of women and me in Enlivened.https://programs.lisamarierankin.com/getenlivenedRead Women Who Run With the Wolves in Lisa's Book Clubhttps://programs.lisamarierankin.com/bookclubRate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts:If your inner feminine is connecting with the Goddess School podcast, I’d love to hear from you.
