Episode 38: What happens when you remember you're a Goddess
What if the disconnection you feel from your body isn't because something's wrong with you – but because you've forgotten you're divine?
In this episode, we explore the power of recognising the goddess within – not as a spiritual concept you have to strive for, but as the truth of what you already are.
We talk about why goddess energy has been suppressed, shamed, and severed from our collective consciousness – and what happens when we reclaim it. This isn't about rejecting the masculine or declaring one better than the other. It's about remembering that the feminine divine deserves reverence, and that every woman is a living expression of the goddess in all her forms.
If you've ever felt shame about your body, your cycle, your darkness, or your changing form – this conversation is an invitation to see yourself differently.
In this episode, we explore:
The Triple Goddess: maiden, mother, and crone – and why we fear the wild woman energy of the luteal phase and menopause
Why we're culturally trained to say "God" but feel awkward saying "Goddess" – and what that reveals about patriarchy and disconnection
Why society celebrates only the masculine aspects of women (productivity, sameness, control) and pathologises the feminine (cyclical nature, rest, darkness, rage)
Goddess archetypes like Kali, Saraswati, and Aphrodite – and how they teach us to embrace every facet of ourselves
The menstrual cycle as a sacred mirror of the moon's phases – and why we shame the fullness but revere it in nature
How women have been severed from their own sexuality – and whether we even know what true feminine sexuality is beyond the male gaze
The power of adorning yourself, dressing as a goddess, and worshipping your own temple
Your goddess practice:
Dress as a goddess every day for 40 days. Not for anyone else – for you. Adorn yourself. Notice what shifts.

E38: What happens when you remember you're a Goddess
[00:00:00] Welcome to Women of the Well. This is a podcast to help you heal, learn, and feel empowered to take back your body and your healthcare. Hosted by Gynecologists, Dr Peta Wright, Dr Thea Bowler, and holistic counselor, Sam Lindsay German. This is for women who want to remember the magic, beauty, and power in their bodies to live a healthy life that's true to themselves.
This podcast is for information and educational purposes only, and is not intended as a substitute for medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. Before we start today's episode, we would like to acknowledge and show our deep respect to the Jiniburra people as the traditional custodians of the beautiful land we are recording this on.
We pay respect to their elders past, present, and across time, and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today. Now it's time to replenish yourself by the [00:01:00] well.
Welcome to another episode of Women of the Well. I am Dr. Peta Wright. I'm Dr. Thea Bowler. And I'm Sam Lindsay German. Today we are going to talk about the goddess. So, broad topic, how incorporating goddess energy in our lives can actually, increase our wellbeing and happiness and acceptance of all of our life stages.
And Thea is gonna read a beautiful poem. To start. This is from a very, beautiful book by, Tony Carmine Salerno. The Goddess lives eternally through you. She's the invisible light that you feel in your heart. She's the light that shines beyond the heavenly stars.
She's the eternal flame. Through her, we discover a greater light. She's a luminous shadow. She's a threefold flame. So [00:02:00] beautiful. And I think if you're a bit witchy like us, you would already know about the Triple Goddess, which is an old, um,
um, tradition you might see it represented as three moons, a moon in the middle, and then the, waning waxing and wan moon. Either way. Yes, Crescent moons, I always tell them thinking nail moon. And representing the maiden, the mother and the wise woman. When we are ranting about how so much of women's disconnection from their bodies and our poor health, it can be related to patriarchy.
That separation from seeing ourselves as divine. I really think that there is an antidote in recognizing the goddess again in our lives. Mm-hmm. Yeah, absolutely. The biggest thing to touch on as we go into this is that most people. Feel uncomfortable to even mention the goddess.
No one refers to the goddess in passing conversation, whereas at [00:03:00] a time that would've happened quite a lot. We have been culturally, trained to talk about God, and so everything is about the masculine aspect of the divine and not about the feminine aspect of the divine.
So it's very normal to say God, in fact, we use it. All the time. Sometimes not in the right way, blaming God. But the point is that God and goddess are not separate. They are part of the same. If you are referring to God, really and truthfully, you're referring to the goddess.
One of the ways I sort of help myself in, understanding that is just a. The way that we can see that the goddess is where creation, comes from. So if we contemplate the goddess as the feminine, then truly the goddess is the deepest aspect of the divine, because all life comes from the goddess.
And that means that if you were incarnated in this [00:04:00] lifetime as a woman, then you are that closest aspect. It's the highest way that you can explore this, this land, this world, this existence in the body of the goddess. So all women are painted, are created, showing and demonstrating the goddess in all their different forms and in all their different states.
There is no one true goddess state. We're all that. And it's the acceptance of that and then revering that. That actually starts to even feel better talking about it. Me too. It just makes you go, oh gosh, you're so right. Why am I not actually adoring myself and my body more and my body?
That's right. And when I say self, that's exactly it. Like, why am I not adoring this form that has been made? In the form of the goddess, which is why, you know, through the, centuries and through, all of history, there has [00:05:00] always been worship of gods and goddesses. We do that so that we, can, really learn to adore ourselves because we see that most of the gods and goddesses that we adore are actually in human form.
So they are showing us that we too are that. And so it's coming back to understanding that there is nothing separate from self. And that once we get back in touch with ourselves as nature, then we can't help but actually being complete awe of the beauty that we are. The spirituality that is innately true in us and in everything that we do.
Hmm. That we are divine, totally divine, and that the divine is not, it's not masculinity. There's no separation. No. Yeah. I think that's it. You know, I feel like sometimes when we say, you know, this is what's important, that the divine is all aspects, and all aspects of [00:06:00] everything. The divine is in everything, and we are all divinity.
And then when we contemplate the goddess, that is the feminine aspect demonstrated through the form of the goddess. So that's where we experience that state of the feminine being shown through the form of the goddess. And the God holds the masculine aspect of the state of divinity. And so we can see those both being expressed.
Beautifully and perfectly, and that yet they're not separate either. Mm-hmm. What I love, like what I love so much when we think about goddess and how you tied, that into nature as well, is the way that she is everything. She is light and dark. She's beautiful and ugly. She is sexual and not sexual.
She is like. She is like the blood and the darkness as well as the light. I love thinking about all the goddesses because [00:07:00] there is a goddess for everything. There's Kali, the goddess of destruction, who enables you to feel.
The beauty in your rage. Yes. You know, and the beauty in your destruction. And then there's Sarah Swati who's the goddess of wisdom and Aphrodite and all of the goddesses that embody every aspect of being a woman, of being a human, basically. But I think for women, because we feel. Because of society and culture, we feel that our darkness is wrong.
We often feel that our anger is wrong. We often feel that our bodies are wrong, our bleeding is wrong. To see it through that goddess lens which says, and it's sort of like a bit tantric, isn't it? That yes. That it's all beautiful like that there is divinity in the most awful rage and there's divinity in the....
well it's part of, it's been made bad. Yes. Again, so you know, we come back to the really one of most important goddess is that we don't really call a goddess, but we were gonna talk about Eve. Mm-hmm. You know, it's from the biblical times and [00:08:00] the religion. That was the start of us all actually finding shame and not being okay to be goddess, because actually we were told that she was, seduced tempted and weak.
And therefore, as a result, we lost our freedom. She ruined everything. And so as a result that, you know, that's really one of our, our core wound. Yes, it's, it's a cool wound. It's a woman because. Exactly as you're saying. If we, if we feel that because we've been taught that going to, Sunday school and all the other things, then we basically grow up thinking I should not actually be the free being that I want to be.
And a lot of women don't want to do things that they're being told they should do. So we immediately suppress that and ignore that, which leads us to actually ignore the goddess or the state of goddess that we are. And yeah, it's kind of fascinating to, to see just how well, society has managed to get us even feeling [00:09:00] awkward about talking about the goddess.
Mm-hmm. Because again, as you were talking and saying, you know, she is this and she is that, it's even a little bit blasphemous to me saying she in a wider context because we don't, we say he. Yep. And I feel these are just really important things to know. It's not that I'm saying that, and this is, this is really important 'cause I'm very big on this.
It's not saying the man is wrong and the female is right. This is completely different, but it's recognizing how disconnected we have come from worshiping our own form and worshiping that form. The feminine form, the feminine goddess in all things. Well, even just the way that women will come and the, the things that they feel that they're suffering with
so relating to the menstrual cycle, the free fall of the luteal phase where there's more darkness, there's more being, there's less productivity, there's less. More of the feminine chaos and less of the masculine order, and the, containment and the productivity and [00:10:00] the sameness that women reject because society has rejected it and said it's bad and wrong and you embody those qualities, then you are wrong or sick.
And if you have to rest, that's, you have to be sick. Mm-hmm. If you feel different, you have to be sick. We have to give that a disorder, give that a diagnosis. And I think like we all have masculine and feminine inside us, but I think it, it's like goes back to those, you know, hundreds and hundreds of years of women, and like the worship of the goddess and the female form almost being seen as dangerous to the point of, you know, literally killing women.
Yes. Um. To, which I think you still think we hold that that is true in our bodies to now, I guess over the last a hundred years, it's actually been a real ignoring of the feminine aspect and then a celebration of only the masculine parts of us. I think we, we've talked about how we've certainly felt and how if we're, we're only paying attention to that masculine side of us.
We're not living in alignment with our biology and [00:11:00] energy, and that leads to more distress because we're really like rejecting or resisting this whole body. Yeah, yeah. Which is, which is again why we always come back to the menstrual and why we love the menstrual so much because it's teaching us that, you know, it's teaching us that we can be the beautiful, productive, shining light.
God. And we can also be the force of destruction and chaos. And we can, we are it all, but it's showing us that we are all of that. I, I I really love that you used that. I think one of the greatest things to do if you really want to be exploring the goddess is to start exploring the stories of different goddesses.
You know, from a sort of witchcraft point of view, if you, decide that you want to start sort of explore being a witch, however you want to see that one of the first things you do is you find a goddess that you, really are attracted to, and then you get to know her and you spend time just sort of sitting and contemplating her and what she stands for.
So it's really [00:12:00] powerful way of, embodying that because likely you are drawn to that goddess 'cause she, you are embodying aspects of her and so it's really helpful to not feel alone. Yeah. Which is lovely. But the, the Kali story is just so beautiful because in its very simplest form, you know, she does go on this
killing, spree and decides that she can't stand anything anymore and sort of slaying everyone. And it's actually until she gets to Shiva, who actually tells her that he loves her and that she sees in his eyes the love. I don't think he says it, but she sees in his eyes love that the spell is broken.
And to me that, that really sums up what, what we are missing in society for women that, that actually we are not seeing in the eyes of others Love. And so we are feeling this innate rage. We're probably going around quite destructively and we're not pausing and having the spell broken by just being loved as we are.
And, and that's really interesting to contemplate. So for [00:13:00] me, that's, that's when I think about those stories and the way in which the goddess is showing up for us. In our lives every day we want to ask Yes. What is it that that aspect is bringing up? What is it that wants to be expressed from us? Because feminine, um, energy and the goddess energy is creative.
It's expressive. It's constantly changing just like nature, because we are nature and you know, the earth is of female goddess, you know, it is, it's all breathing, all moving. It's a feel That's right. Feeling. And it's just an organism that's just continually changing and evolving, which is what we are, but we've separated ourself from being that.
Yeah. There's that pulse of life. Yeah. Isn't there in that, and just think of what we are as a woman. Yeah. You know, the way that our bodies change and ebb and the flow from the shape of them. And Yeah, and we, we, we change as we go through our cycle exactly like the moon changes. I was thinking this, 'cause we've talked recently about, you know, how people talk about getting bloated around, ovulation [00:14:00] or just before they have their bleed.
And actually the moon changes quite a lot and no one goes, oh, that is awkward. Look how big and round the moon is. I know she's all skinny now.
But that, that's what she does. She doesn't say the same. She changes and we think she's beautiful to every stage. And I always love your analogy, Sam, of like the masculine is the sun. Yes. You know, unchanging always the same energy output and the woman is the moon. Yeah. And we are completely cyclical and never the same.
Mm. I think in the menstrual cycle we feel comfortable with that maiden energy. So that follicular phase doing energy and the giving energy of the mother, ovulation just after. But then we are we're not comfortable with the Kali. Yeah, the wild woman, I like to call her the wild woman, who isn't just showing up towards chaos, often coming up to, to really like get rid of stuff that isn't serving you if you can let it or help you to process [00:15:00] stuff that you needed to do. Well, she's actually going to tell you what's real. Yeah. And she isn't afraid to do that because she's reaching the end of her life or that part of her cycle, and therefore she feels able to do it. She doesn't have the fear. So whereas the maiden. You know, has got a lot to lose.
There's more at stake. Yes, exactly. And so she's in her early stages and she's, you know, keen and pleaing, you know, pleasing. That's exactly it. The mother needs support, she's got children or she's producing, so that's it. But once we get to the crone, the crone is there, she's been there, she's done it, she's seen it all.
And she doesn't hold fear. She's not scared to say. What is, and as society, that's the energy we really need right now. Well, that's menopause. Yes. Isn't it? That's right. Yeah. Which is probably why as a society, we're obsessive menopause at the moment because it is an energy that is suppressed in our society and we are not feeling able to say things as they are, which may be why it's having to be [00:16:00] everywhere.
We're not quite guessing it yet. It's like we have to still, we have to still shun that and only be maidens or in that mother productive output energy rather than recognizing the value and beauty in the the, and we actually have on a. Wall of our treatment room. This beautiful picture that my sister, Lizzie Dennis drew of the stages and it's so beautiful.
And I actually go and take women there and say, to explain, and the, the lead teal phase bit, has got a picture of Kali holding a seven man's head. Yes. And you know, we, obviously, you don't need to set people's heads. We're not suggesting that, but I think it's about expressing that rage, which is helpful.
And like, if you can embody all of it, you can feel all of it. And then it just makes life because you accept what this, this the every single aspect and facet of yourself, the tension and the um. The energy of repressing, which is so exhausting, which then we've talked about before, contributes to symptoms, isn't [00:17:00] there?
And we can just all be multifaceted, multidimensional goddesses, and it can be okay. Absolutely. At all stages of our menstrual cycle and at all stages across our lifespan. And that's right. You think if you're clinging, if you we're constantly bringing to the follicular phase energy, to the doing energy, to the pre the premenopausal energy, then
of course, when the descent comes either at menopause or in the lal phase, it's so much more distressing. Mm. Yes. Because we've hidden it. We've hidden it. Yes. And we're ashamed of it. And we're scared of it. And we're scared of it. That's right. And you're absolutely right. It's, it's part of one of the things that we do so often is just push away the things that we don't want to face.
And when you were talking about, you know, just what came to me is the way that women struggle so much with sexuality because we've not ever been allowed to know what it is to actually express our sexuality. I'm not sure, as I know lots of women, um, do lots of work in these field, but I actually really wonder whether, as a society we actually know what true feminine sexuality is, because we've only ever seen it through the lens of the masculine.
As in we are aware of that lens through objectification. Yeah, that's exactly it. That's the word. [00:18:00] And I'm, yeah, I'm actually really interested in that. Do we know what our true essence of sexuality is and Yeah. That's flowing my mind a little bit. Yeah. Well, it's like even find the beautiful woman I saw yesterday who came to see me who was in her seventies and she wanted, had never been able to
surrender to being her body to experience pleasure with a beautiful partner. And she said, I, I wanna experience the everything that my body has to feel and experience, which was amazing. Yes. And, um, but I think how many more people would just accept that, oh, well there's just like, this is normal that I, that I am not.
In my full expression and of pleasure of receiving. 'cause I think as women, we have to learn to receive. 'cause I think is, maybe that's part of it. Like if we can't recognize the goddess, so if we can recognize that the divinity or the goddess, we see that that's something that we, you know, even offer to.
Right. But we can't, if we could see it in ourselves, we could receive that offering of [00:19:00] pleasure, of feeling the vibrancy of life. It really just made me have this wonderful, um, thought when I was studying my counseling and we were discussing relationship, therapy. And this like crossover with yoga.
In yoga, I would talk to see everything as a relay. And then we were talking about this in couples counseling concept as well. It's about the energy exchange. So if we are in a relationship, I have to give something to you and you gives something to me in. If that doesn't happen, we don't feel even. Mm-hmm.
And then things happen. As a woman we are naturally because we give life. I just want to just say that again because we give life and there's a possibility of that every month. That's right. We actually don't owe anyone anything. Like I just, actually, that's what makes me talking. I'm just like, that's half of my problem because that's never revered because no one actually holds that in any sort of state of here.
They're, here [00:20:00] come the women, the ones that can make life. We actually don't feel that we can receive because we're not entirely sure what we are giving because we've been taught that we're perhaps not giving enough or are we doing enough around the home or, I mean, you don't have to do anything around the home.
You gave birth or you possibly could this month or you could at any stage of your life, and even when you can't any longer, you already held that as the goddess. So you were that. Therefore, exactly as you're saying. Because we are so open in what we can create and give. Therefore, in order to actually know ourselves and be fully open to our sensuality, our sexuality, our true nature, we have to be able to receive and we can only fully receive, or we understand that we
reciprocated fully already. Yes. If we feel worthy to receive. That's right. By the exchange is already done. Yeah. You were born. Mm. You were born the goddess and therefore it's done. There's nothing else you need to do. Yes. [00:21:00] So then this is the key. This is the prompt to have a bath. Lay flowers at your own feet.
Yes. Like put some beautiful oil on your skin. Listen into some beautiful music. Yes. And worship yourself. Yeah. Temple. The temple of the goddess that is used. Yes. Because there's that amazing book. If God was a woman. Yes. Which is all about like the ancient goddess, worship, worshiping, um, times in humanity.
But I remember reading in that book that one of the reasons that that goddesses were first revered is because, we didn't, humans didn't make the connection that, sex was a baby. And so they thought women were just these magical creatures. Yes. That every now and then, I mean, kind of, we are often another human.
But I, I mean, literally when I think about birth, when I think about, when you guys talk about what the body does, and when I think about birth, I still, it makes me teary to think about it. Like, I don't remember saying, get pregnant. No. Like, I, I don't remember doing, you know, I had a very enjoyable moment with my husband, unfortunately.
What's magic? I mean, literally, I mean, it's still magical. This is the issue. In a way, sorry. But science has taken away magic. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. And the magical aspect and the awe [00:22:00] that can be seen in everyday things Yes. That occur that are just, yes, I choose to view magic science as magic. Yeah. That's how I, it's an explanation of the magic.
Okay. Okay. Although it often doesn't have a very good explanation. So then we can just go back to the magic what Yes. Natural truth. Even though we know that's how babies are made. So magic and a woman's body that just does these things and then actually birth it. I mean, yeah. And then.
Like we used to worship that. Mm-hmm. We literally, the first V made with a pregnant woman, we used to worship menstrual blood. Yes. And what about the shield? The shield and the gigs? Yes. The old crone women who are showing their vulvas and the, and the vagina is like the gateway to the universe opening. And now they actually have them on the top of churches when lots of Christianity came into Ireland and we now have them on the top of the churches.
And you're so right that we've actually completely forgotten. Any reverence for that at all to the sacredness of it all and just the absolute magical nature? Well, even like in, in Christianity, you [00:23:00] know, it's, it was the woman who can create life, but they had to make her come from a man's rib. They like totally changed the story so that it was the man who was giving life.
Yes. Which you have to love. Yeah, exactly. Yes. The, the, the, the biggest thing of it all really is that even when it comes to it, you know, when we think about. You know, Jesus was still born of a woman. Mm-hmm. You know, and whether it was immaculate conception or not, I mean yeah. It's, it's still, it's still magical.
It's still magical. And there was still a baby that came from, a woman grew in a woman and was birthed from a woman. And that woman is the goddess. Mm. And that's the. That's the key is that, you know, woman is goddess. It's not separate. We don't have to look anywhere else for it. We don't actually have to do anything to, embody it.
It just is. And don't you think that if you have that view or perspective shift of seeing the goddess in yourself, the things that we call suffering, through our body, through those different sensations, the changes, the aging, the menstrual cycle, like they become a portal for growth.
They become a portal to feel, they become like [00:24:00] this, extra amazing thing that we get to experience. To interact and with this world, I would say that they become sacred. Yeah. Become sacred. And it's the way that, uh, us as a society have, have severed that connection that has made it pathologized, middle class, whatever, that has stripped the sacredness mm-hmm.
From the, the bodies of women. And then, you know, women get kind of, uh, and then. Seeking like support to fix bodies when really they goddesses all along. Yes. It's the waking up to the truth that you always were a goddess. We just got under the veil of the Yeah, the illusion and it's the waking up, you know, it's.
It's waking up to remembering. Mm-hmm. It's not something that we have to learn study. We don't need someone to teach us it.
We can literally just be the goddess. And that to me is, is what it's all about. Could we just start saying, you know, oh, good morning, goddess. Let's start doing that. Yes. Yes. Well, we often say that to each other in text. [00:25:00] Mm-hmm. Yes, that's true. That's nice.
One other thing is that maybe, given that you, we all have the aspects of the feminine and the masculine within us.
How can our inner masculine show up for the Feminine at that time. Mm-hmm. And that is in accepting her. So even if you like, well, I don't have someone in my life that can accept me or love me. How can that masculine part of you step in? See the feminine goddess part? Accept her, love her. Let her express what she needs to express, contain what needs to be contained.
Let her feel safe. Working with that sort of energy I think can be really, really powerful. Just being that masculine, like that container for that energy for yourself and being that accepting, loving presence for yourself with those challenging times. Definitely. And if you can start to do that, especially those of you that are looking for a [00:26:00] partner, that's one of the best ways to start to know and learn what sort of partner you are looking for. Learning to actually honor yourself as that divine masculine or feminine within will enable you to have much deeper relationships. In all aspects. And so it, it always starts with us, and we can't ever expect another to be able to know us the way that we know ourselves. And so really it is, yeah, exactly that, you know, honor the goddess.
There's this beautiful teaching in Kundalini yoga where it says, um, it's a 40 day, meditation where it says to dress, dress like a goddess every day. So it's actually that you're meant to dress in your, you know, best dresses, like every day, 40 days. Adorn yourself. Yes. It literally, and the idea is that it actually makes you to sort of reconnect to being a woman.
And to actually allowing yourself to be fully in your grace as a woman by, you know, because sometimes [00:27:00] we hide behind, you know, costume that we wear, like, which doesn't actually serve us. We just think we don't have good in dresses or whatever decided. But actually it's not saving them for special occasion, but dressing up every day for ourselves, not for anyone else.
That's right. And enjoying that and noticing what that does for ourselves to be, you know, amazing. I mean, I feel like you guys do that here. We do, yes. Literally every day. And I love that. That's why I'm kind of saying it 'cause it is like amazing. I had a patient the other day who, is working with Brooke, who herself is a goddess and really helps to, well she's one of our physios, but really helps to bring out the inner goddess.
But this patient, is a partner in a law firm, only works with men, has to do these very high level presentations and things. She's started to wear floaty floral dresses at work like in the boardroom. She says, I'm wearing them to work now and it feels so wonderful.
And it's that actually being in tune with that [00:28:00] beautiful nature and all that that comes, you know, softening our edges. Yes. No longer so powerful because we can't expect others to acceptance seed in ourselves. We can't do that. That's right. Yeah. So I guess. Task is dress as a goddess.
Of course, yes. Then send us pictures, tag us on Instagram in your goddess pictures and I mean, you just look at the Vera page. You can see all the goddess pictures from here. Everyone always dresses as goddess's. Quite amazing. So that can be your inspiration. And then yeah, find your own way and don't do it anyone else's way.
Dress as your unique goddess, what would be really cool? Yeah, and there are some beautiful books. There are some amazing Mary Magdalene books, Megan Watterson, who has written a couple of books and she writes about, the Feminine Divinity and Women. Really? Yeah. They're amazing. She's got a beautiful set of Goddess cards.
Yes. And she's incredible. She's, she's a [00:29:00] feminist theologian. Yes. Which I think is amazing. Sometimes I wish we were, yeah, why didn't I know that was not true. And then, um, and then there, Joanna Kujawa who's in Australia, or who's a Polish lady living in Australia, who's written an amazing book called The Other Goddess, which is all about really looking at the way sexuality has been suppressed, in, in terms of how we, interpret the goddesses. So she's read, read, written a really beautiful, it's amazing, I think called, you know, all of Sharon Blackie's books, seems that exploring all aspects and fables and stories around goddess.
And it connecting back to those stories that can really help us connect to ourselves. So women really, we, we really heal through storytelling, um, and through receiving these stories of other women. I heard this beautiful quote and it was by Zach Bush, who's a beautiful, um, doctor, and he's a beautiful man, but he said, we're not made of cells, we're made of stories.
He said, because we as human beings have the power every day to [00:30:00] change our story. We change our story, our experience of the world changes ourselves, change our neurochemistry changes. So see how telling yourself the story of being a goddess and representing that goddess through all facets, see how it changes your, your body, your life, your source. Yes. Your outward life. Yeah. Everything. And also we've got a beautiful event that's happening. Just watch out for our, on our socials and things and emails with, Dr. Joanna. Yes. And it will be so beautiful and you can all come and wear your goddess dresses.
