You're Human First! Welcome Back Episode with Courtney Wilder

Welcome to the 1st episode of season 3

Your host, Courtney Wilder, introduces the new name of the podcast as "The Soul Seeker Show" which has been rebranded from "Intuitive Business with Seeking Wilder". 

She explains that the podcast is for those who seek more in life and want to achieve abundance in all things, not just money. She shares that the podcast content will remain the same and will continue to be about inspiring business owners and entrepreneurs through the lens of astrology. 

However, she emphasizes that the podcast will also focus on the importance of being human and connected to one's soul purpose. 

The episode highlights the need for individuals to not prioritize their businesses over their humanness and emphasizes the importance of being present in the current moment. The episode concludes with the idea that as humans, we should recognize that we are a part of nature and just like nature, we too experience cycles and seasons.

In this episode we touch on: 

Small changes and podcast rebranding

Seeking your soul as a human being

Living in the moment; feeling present, not the past or future

Developing humanity, not running aimlessly

Welcome Back Episode

Courtney Wilder: [00:00:00] Hello and welcome to the Soul Seeker Show. This is a space for those who seek who soul yearns for more, who long for abundance in all things. Not just cash in the bank. If soul purpose and legacy and impact get you all riled up, you are gonna love the inspiring stories our guests have to share. I'm your host, Courtney Wilder, intuitive life and business coach at Seeking Wilder.

I hope you are ready to dive deep.

I'm back. Did you miss me? You may be like, Hmm, I recognize that voice, but I don't recognize this podcast name or subscribing to it. This podcast was originally Intuitive Business with Seeking Wilder, and yes, hi. I am Courtney of Seeking Wilder. I took some time away. You may have noticed, you may not have noticed, but I took some time away to of course [00:01:00] be in my business and all of the exciting things that will happen in my business, but also to just be really present with myself and trusting and listening to my intuition, which you know is a big one for me. And my intuition was saying that I needed a little bit of space and time away from this podcast.

And then when I did that, when I took that space and took that time and started feeling into showing up on this podcast again, it came through pretty clear that. The podcast needed a rebrand, it needed a new name, and it's not changing too dramatically in the sense of the, the content that I'm going to be sharing.

So if you absolutely loved the content that was in the Intuitive Business Podcast, do Not Fear, I'm still absolutely going to be talking to so many inspiring business owners and entrepreneurs through the lens. And astrology. I already have so many juicy podcast interviews that I've recorded that I cannot wait to get into your ears, but something that's come through really strongly [00:02:00] for me over the past few months since I've had this break was my love.

You're human first, and what I mean by that statement, what I mean by my love, you are human first, is that it's so easy for us. To pedestal our business or our careers above our humanness. It's so easy to get caught up in the goals and the hustles and our ambitions that we forget to take that time to listen and follow our own sole purpose and our own sopa, and that is why the podcast has been renamed The Soul Seeker Show.

because if you are listening to this podcast, if you were drawn to this podcast, even if this is your first episode and you're like, I am what you talking about intuitive business. You are all soul seekers. You are the ones that really are here to listen to their soul, those intuitive niggles that they receive you long to be, uh, in [00:03:00] alignment with your soul purpose and walking your soul path and feeling like the lit up, juiciness, deliciousness of what?

And our businesses. And our careers and the big juicy things that we're wanting to create. Yes, they're so important, but what is really important is feeling fulfill, is feeling human. I see, and I've spoken about so many times, but I see an epidemic of floating heads. It's so easy for us to cut off our heads from our body,

To be always caught up in our minds in the doing and the things we have to do and our tasks that we forget that we are embodied humans walking through life, that we forget to listen to the niggles of our body to be present in the here and now. I see people that are, are constantly either looking to the past or looking to the future.

I'll be happy when, when I hit this goal, when this happened, then I'll be happy. Then I'll celebrate. Then I'll take time for. and if we're caught up in that cycle of, I'll be happy when of being [00:04:00] so, so focused on an end goal or an end date that we get to often we're missing our life, we're missing the fullness of the present moment of our experiences.

And sometimes that's because. Honestly, we're uncomfortable with where we are presently. Maybe we're in a time of discomfort. Maybe we're in a energy of contraction, of a crumbling, of needing to shed some things that aren't exactly serving us, and instead of being present with that energy, we're like, oh, I'll focus on the future.

Instead, just disconnect from myself. I'll just numb for myself. Instead being human. I mean, we're a part of nature. We're a part of nature itself. Our life is all about cycles and seasons. When you think about nature, nothing in nature is full all the time, not even the moon. And I know I've said that on so many episodes, but that's because it's true.

Nothing is blooming all the time yet as humans, especially as business owners, we expect ourselves to always be blooming. We expect [00:05:00] ourselves to always be in that energy of growth and expansion and growing. And the next thing and the next thing, and the next thing, which. Is quote unquote unnatural. It's not a part of nature to always be in a growth phase.

And if our business is always in a growth phase, then that can not be ideal either, because it's in growth phase. Often things are breaking and you're having to, you know, call an extra support or whatever it is to, you know, you're like chasing after everything because you're growing. So, So I hope, and my intention with this podcast is that you don't forget that you're human as well, that you are reminded to come back into the present moment and to experience your life in its fullness no matter what phase, no matter what season that you are in.

If you're in a season of crumbling that you find the beautiful medicine that is there and you don't try and avoid it or escape out of it. Instead, you are present and you nurture that energy and if you are in a period of growth and [00:06:00] expansion, that you become grounded into that energy. So you also don't miss the fullness and the joy and the love that's set you in that moment.

And if you're just in a state of neutrality, that you can be grounded into that energy as well. I am so excited for all I have to. All that is to come for the Soul Seeker Show. This is just a little short welcome back episode, little Rebirth episode for the Soul Seeker Show. And oh my goodness, so many exciting things to come.

As I said, I've already recorded so many. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. Interviews that I cannot wait to get into your ears very, very soon. Something that I want to do as part of the Soul Seeker Show, a part of this new podcast is start doing little intuitive readings, intuitive pulls for the collective.

If you had listened to the podcast previously, you know I always ended an interview with talking into the Soul Card. Because [00:07:00] I loved Tarot so much, that's why I teach it. And I teach it in a way that blends in astrology and all these other intuitive practices. So it feels so beautiful to bring that into the Soul Seeker Show.

So I'm gonna do that for you now. I'm going to intuitively pull a card from the collective, and I'm gonna just share, and I want you to just. Trust that whatever comes up is absolutely perfect for you in this moment. If it's safe to do so, you're not driving, I'd love for you to just close us down your eyes for a moment and to take a deep breath into your body in through the nose.

Ah, out through the mouth, releasing with a sound, with a sigh, and just coming back into the present moment. Connecting with yourself in the here and the now. Just being present with what is now fitting to the card that I have pulled for us. Oh. Today is a seven of swords and the seven of swords. [00:08:00] I mean, it's so about that energy that I was just speaking about of putting off our happiness to a later date of being caught in that cycle of, I'll be happy when, or, you know, not realizing that something that we're chasing after something that we're going after we already hold, and that can happen if we're as.

Seeking our happiness and our joy externally. It's like, okay, when I hit this goal, when I do this, when, and this happens when I get this amount of clients, when I get this amount of followers in my business, then I'll feel like I've made it and I'll feel joyful, then I'll feel landed. Then I'll, I'll be lit up and I'll celebrate myself.

This is the reminder to. Look into what you are holding now. Look into what your life is like right now, and can you experience that joy and that fullness within yourself? Being present with yourself, being present, what's currently here, instead of seeking for that. Externally. So I love that this is just the beautiful little reminder validation that this is something [00:09:00] that is needed.

These insights that are coming through is what's needed right now. And I think it's because this world is so busy. It's all hustle and it's all go and it tries to get us. On the hamster cycle of go, go, go, go, go. Don't stop. Always be at capacity. Always be onto the next thing. Onto the next thing. Onto the next thing.

Don't listen to your intuition. Be so busy that your intuition doesn't even get a little whisper in. But my love, you were human first. You were here to ex. Experience your life. You are here to feel the fullness of whatever season, whatever cycle that you are in right now. Something that we do, especially when we start doing, doing healing work for an example, and especially when it's connected to our inner inner child, often we'll go back to go back and do healing right for the, we'll go back to the painful points in our life of things that like hurt us and were painful and will want to heal that in a child, which is a beautiful practice.

Do you ever look back over your life? And look for [00:10:00] the love that you missed out on feeling and experiencing the first time because that is there for you as well. Because often we are so busy and sometimes we're, we're numb and we're in a cycle of all go that we're not experiencing the fullness of love that is there the first time around.

We're out with our friends and we're thinking about the next launch we have to do or whatever it is, and we're not feeling the fullness or the love that's in the room when we're with our friends and family. So that's why this invitation from the Seven Swords is like, is is saying to us, can you come to the present moment?

Can you experience the fullness of what's in your life right now? And I've just pulled another little, another card to go with it and it's the three of Cups and it how absolutely perfect of the three of cups is that reminder to be present. To be present. That nothing in life can ever be repeated or experienced exactly the same way again.

So can you be present with your. Fully present with it, fully present with everything that's there right now, can you celebrate? Can you be in [00:11:00] that energy of joy and love and soaking it all up the first time around? Or even if you're in an energy of contraction, can you also be present with it? Be open to the lessons and the medicine and the insights that are there for you in that moment, knowing that, that nothing is p.

Nothing is forever that we will move through onto the next cycle and season Again. Such a beautiful reminder. So those were the seven of swords and the three of cups. Something to support you. If this message really landed, this insight really landed, and you would like to be reminded of this. For the next week, if you have a tarot deck, what you can do is pull out the seny swords and the three of clubs and place 'em somewhere where you'll see them every day.

Maybe place them on your bedside table or your altar if you have one, or buy your bathroom mirror and really like connect and anchor into that energy every day and be like, oh, what is here for me? How am I remembering to be present? To [00:12:00] experience the fullness, to be in that celebration of my life for what it is right now?

What am I holding in my life right now? What am I, and also like, what am I seeking externally? Why am I seeking for that externally? What's the message or the lesson there for me? If you don't have a tarro deck, you can always just print out a picture of the seven of ones and the three of cups, or draw your own to be reminded of that as well, or treat.

Go by yourself. A tar deck that you love. Mm. Something else that I would love to bring into this new version of the podcast, this evolved version of the podcast of the Soul Seeker Show is some poetry. And you may be thinking like what Pod Poetry on a podcast, . You may know or you may not know that since actively doing these podcasts, every week, every two weeks, I have published a book.

It is called Words to Experience. It's available on Amazon in case you're wondering, in case you would like a [00:13:00] little read, but it is a poetry book and it's poetry that I've written over the past nine years of my entire life. I have put out previous podcasts episodes about that so you can go and listen to it.

But something that I love is hearing other people read their poetry. And something that a lot of my listeners and followers seem to love is when I read into my poetry and speaking to that. Um, and something that I wanted to bring to this podcast was ending. every episode with something that I have written, and maybe it's going to be pulled from my book.

Maybe it's going to be something that I've written recently, but it's sharing that piece and I want you to feel into it and you can just stop listening to the podcast here. If it's not your thing, that's absolutely fine, but maybe you can view listening to this poem almost as like listening to a meditation of what is here for you.

What's in this poem? How does that. Feel remembering that this podcast now is all about us being present and being [00:14:00] human and feeling into the fullness of every experience and every moment. So maybe there's something here for you. Okay. Thank you so much for being here for my mini welcome back episode. I am so excited for this new evolution of the podcast for this soul seeker show.

Cannot wait to get stuck in even more. I will talk to you very, very soon. I. But for now, here is something that I wrote and darling, I want nothing less than fullness for every inch of my being to be consumed with its own divinity. I wish to revel in the delight of my own humanity, oh God, how I ache to simply exist.

I am tired of hearing should nots and don'ts, and have tos and must tired of witnessing the exaltation of doing, of filling minds and calendars with the expectation to become oh, how I long to just be, oh, how I'm ready for presence to make its [00:15:00] home on the altar once. For play and pleasure to not be a momentary pastime for intuitive living to become the norm.

My love. I am making a home here in this moment, in this body refusing to the subscribe to the external noise of rapid leaping of force growth. I am following the breadcrumbs of joy, taking my time, ensuring not one crumb of delight. Goes untainted. Ensuring presence is not only for the sweet moments of life, I am here every step, every aligned action I am here in my body for I do not wish to miss a moment of my life.
