In this episode, I explore The Torchbearer. The archetype who steps into darkness during times of collective grief, shadow, and uncertainty, and returns carrying a flame meant not just for herself, but for others.
This episode was born under the moon in my backyard as I grieved injustice, violence, and the weight of a world that often silences women. It was shaped by that fire; the kind that breaks something open, demands to be witnessed, and refuses to be put out.
Through the intertwined myths of Demeter, Persephone, and Hecate, we explore the necessity of descent:
why shadow work isn’t optional,
why rage can be sacred,
and why grief is not a weakness but a catalyst.
These stories become mirrors for our own inner underworlds, reminding us that every descent, whether personal or collective, contains a seed of illumination.
If you’ve been feeling the collective heaviness, the anger, sorrow, confusion, or numbness, this episode offers a place to land, breathe, and remember: the fire within you is not meant to destroy you. It’s meant to illuminate the way forward.
