The Spiritual Feminist

Welcome to the 150th episode of the podcast! It's not like I have timed these things, but it just so happens I have something major to share with you - we found our dream property in the north of Sweden! Life has been an absolute rollercoaster ever since, and in this episode, I tell you all about it. I talk about the day the butterflies came back and other signs I received, as well as the synchronicity of Aries season & the Spring Equinox for this chapter in my life. Above all, I'm experiencing a level of depth and spirituality on my journey that is unlike anything else. In this episode, I tell you all about it. I can't wait to share more of this journey and all the life lessons this land will gift me with you! Read the March in Review post on my Substack 'Untethered by Leneth Witte' here.

This week, I wanted to share the Substack I wrote in 2023 about how my feminism and my desire to live a slow, simple life might be at odds with each other. When I reread this piece the other day, I realised how apt it was for the phase I (still) find myself in right now and I wanted to share it on the podcast as it resonated so much still and wanted to open up the space to muse on it further with you. I find it so interesting (and perhaps a little scary) to observe how the online spaces about slower living and homesteading are becoming dangerously close to right-wing, tradwife content - which is a space I absolutely do not want to be in. It begs the question how my feminism rhymes with desiring a simple life and leaving hustle culture. In this episode (and in the Substack blog), I delve into this deeper. Mind you: I don't have the answers (I wish!) but I think posing the questions and allowing ourselves to reflect on these matters, is somewhat of an answer in itself :). I'd love to hear your thoughts! I'm also looking forward to getting my Substack going at some point soon again. Watch this space :). Read along with the Substack piece here.

It is the Equinox - a time of 'in between', a snapshot in time of stillness and divine balance, and also a marker of a change in season. A time of 'not quite', and equally a time of planting seeds and transforming our energy by letting a little bit of Yang in. This liminal space is marked here in Sweden by 'vårvinter', literally 'spring-winter', the season in between. We have the warmth of the sun and the longer days already, but it is also still snowing at times and the ground is still frozen. This season here is teaching me a lot about pausing, surrender and how stillness can stir so much and does require a gentle flow. In this episode, I talk about how I experience this season in my inner world too, with my bleed being delayed and the next chapter in our life here in Sweden not being there yet. I muse on how I still find meaning and belonging within the margins of life, and how a moment of pause and not-knowing actually faciliatates and accelerates growth and transformation - if only you dare to be fully surrender to it. How are you experiencing this Equinox? And how do you navigate seasons of in-betweenness?I'd love to hear from you, so please come find me online!

I've been experiencing grief and sadness lately, and in this episode I muse on how I was able to hold myself in those waves of raw human emotion and feel safe within that too. I truly believe you feel the depths of your emotions to the extent you're able to hold them, even if it doesn't feel like that in the moment. What you do need, however, is space. Space to feel, space to listen in, space to be. And yes, this is a privilege, but also a basic human right & need! To know grief is to know love, and in that regard I am so grateful to have been experiencing this heaviness. I hope my ramblings today hit home in a way for you too.

What does it mean to live intuitively? If the past six months of life have shown me anything, it's that I'm much closer to doing so than before. In this episode, I reflect on how I've gotten to the point where trusting myself is now my norm, and how I've learned to letting life flow. To me, living intuitively means stepping back from time to time and letting life take over. Daring to let life unfold as it's meant to and not force or pressure anything that isn't aligned. It's not easy - but it can be simple. I hope that with this instalment of the Untethered series, you will find inspiration and support to choose the intuitive life for yourself too.
