Season 1, Episode 3: The Body Knows What the Mind Forgot

You can't think your way through initiation. Descent work that stays in your head isn't actually descent at all.

In this episode, Casey explores why the body is essential for transformation—and why years of intellectual understanding can leave you completely stuck. Drawing on her MA in Body Psychotherapy, she explains how trauma, grief, and rage live in your tissues, not just your thoughts, and why the goddesses work through embodied experience.

You'll learn:

Why your body remembers what your mind has tried to forget
Nervous system basics: fight, flight, freeze, fawn, and the state of safety
How to recognize which goddess lives where in your body
The difference between embodied spirituality and "spirituality in your head"
Why you can't rush initiation—the descent happens at the pace your body can hold

Includes a guided embodiment practice to help you listen to what your body has been trying to tell you.

The goddesses aren't abstract concepts—they're forces you feel in your bones, blood, and breath. This episode will teach you how to come home to your body.
