Have you ever felt a wild, ancient spark inside you - a longing to stir healing potions, whisper to the moon, or listen to the wisdom of the animals around you?

The witch archetype holds a timeless power that invites women to reclaim their magic, resilience, and creative force. Through mythic storytelling, feminine wisdom traditions, and practical rituals, Lisa explores how embodying the witch can shift you from victimhood to radical self-responsibility.

Lisa also shares five simple rituals you can start using right away to invoke your inner witch in everyday life, from honoring the cycles of the moon and connecting with animal allies to gathering in sisterhood.

Your nervous system might be the very thing sabotaging your dreams of success, love, and abundance, even when your conscious mind desperately wants these things.

Lisa Marie Rankin speaks with somatic business mentor Brianna Rose about the fascinating connection between our nervous system and our capacity for success. Rose explains how our bodies perceive new levels of achievement as threats, causing us to self-sabotage just when we're on the verge of a breakthrough. Through her revolutionary body mapping method, she helps entrepreneurs and visionaries rewire their nervous systems to hold the success they're working so hard to create. The conversation explores how to get off the hamster wheel of endless healing, protect your consciousness in an overstimulating world, and use somatic tools to embody the archetypes of who you're becoming.

This isn't about fixing what's broken – it's about expanding your capacity to receive more of what you truly desire. Rose offers practical wisdom on how to stop contracting when good things happen and instead build the resilience to sustain success, love, and abundance.

Topics discussed in this episode:

• Somatic work
• Nervous system regulation
• body mapping method
