🎙️EPISODE 5: THE CLINICAL MYSTIC

In this week’s episode of WOMAN: Ritual & Realness, I open the gates between clinic and cauldron — sharing how I walk the line between modern medicine and ancient mystery.We explore:* My years working in Dublin’s busiest maternity hospital* The initiations of motherhood and midwifery* My experience in fertility, mental health, and sexual health* My personal path through the mystical and psychedelic realms* The Bean Leigheas (The Medicine Woman) and ancient practices — from cobwebs for healing to mushrooms for soul-travel* How birth taught me to observe, not interfere — and how we need to learn how to ‘knit birth’.This episode is a weaving — of blood and spirit, science and soul.It’s a remembering of the Clinical Mystic — and the path of the woman who can hold both syringe and sacred stone.LISTEN ON: Spotify • Apple • SubstackTag a sister, healer, or student of mystery who needs this transmission.I also mention this podcast with my dear friend and psychotherapist Mick Leddin where we speak about Psychedelics, Safety & IntegrationI also mentioned Episode 1 where I speak about the Wise Woman Traditions.#WOMANPodcast #ClinicalMystic #ModernMidwife #AncientWays #MedicineWoman #BanLaois #RitualAndRealness #SacredLiving #MysticMidwifery This is a public episode.
