Welcome to the Feminine Mystery School podcast

I’m thrilled to announce Episode 5 of Mapping the Descent, featuring Dr. Tamsin Astor—aka “the Chief Habit Scientist.”

This week, we journey together through life’s toughest passages: grief, fear, identity, the ritual-poor culture we live in, and how facing mortality can powerfully transform our lives. Tamsin weaves together eastern wisdom, neuroscience, ritual, and playful humor—inviting us both to sit in the darkness and lean into the light.

🔹 Want to feel more grounded in uncertainty?

🔹 Longing for rituals that honor loss and rebirth?

🔹 Craving tools that help you stay in the messy middle without getting lost?

Then this episode is for you.

Have you ever felt like your life took a turn, and suddenly everything you thought was holding you just... evaporated? That’s exactly what happened to Rosa Santoyo—and she's sharing profound wisdom from her experience of traversing the void with us this week.

In our latest Mapping the Descent episode, Rosa unpacks her journey from startup success into a tender unraveling—losing her business, relationship, and sense of self—and ultimately stepping into her true gifts as a mystical guide for other entrepreneurs.

If you're in a season of transformation—where old patterns are dying and everything feels uncertain—this episode is your invitation in. Rosa reminds us: you don’t have to go through the abyss alone, and there is a new vista on the other side.

These conversations are intimate, raw, and powerful. They offer a way to make meaning from the mess. A path through the dark. A lifeline back to self.

In this episode, I dive into a topic that's been feeling incredibly present for me lately and one that I often see in my clients: the overwhelming sense of exhaustion that can arise during an embodiment or somatic practice.

Join me as I explore two key reasons why you might encounter this exhaustion and how to approach it with compassion and curiosity. We'll discuss:

• The pervasive issue of depletion and burnout in our culture and how it impacts our personal growth journeys.

• The importance of rest and nourishment as fundamental components of any spiritual or personal development practice.

• How our nervous systems create resistance to protect us and why we might feel tired when confronting deeper, shadowy aspects of ourselves.

• Practical insights on staying with and moving through the exhaustion to uncover deeper layers of wisdom within.

If you're finding yourself constantly tired, burnt out, or struggling to connect with your embodiment practice, this episode is for you. Learn how to honor your body's needs, navigate the depths of your fatigue, and create a more rooted, nourishing foundation for your life.

I also share a bit about my recent personal journey through illness and recovery, and how it's reinforced the vital need for true rest and nourishment.

Tune in and let's explore together how to embrace and move through these challenging but essential aspects of our embodiment journey.
