Listen in now as our guest, Mara Branscombe, discusses her book, Sage, Huntress, Lover, Queen: Access Your Power and Creativity through Sacred Female Archetypes, and learn how to awaken the wisdom of your feminine soul.

Mara takes an intriguing look at the seven feminine archetypes that prevail in the modern psyche—Maiden, Mother, Sage, Huntress, Lover, Mystic, and Queen—and traces their continuing influence throughout different stages of our life, sometimes dormant, sometimes prominent. As she explores each archetype’s beneficial qualities, its connections to the physical-emotional-mental body, and its shadow aspects, Mara highlights the positive impact these models can have if we embrace them and live them consciously. Step-by-step creative practices, guided visualizations, mind-body rituals, and soulful poetry allow you to embody each archetype, inviting in the light aspects as well as integrating the shadow. Embodiment techniques help you shift your consciousness and untangle from the habitual and unconscious patterns that dim your vital spark.

Weaving the fine strands of the archetypal wisdom into a rich tapestry, this guide provides soul-empowering mind-body formulas that become field notes on the visionary’s path. As the embodied feminine within comes alive, you will discover how each cycle and experience in life are part of the continuous unfolding of your own living ceremony.

Listen in now as our guest, Angela Patete, discusses Women, Sex & Power: The Matriarch’s Rise in the Age of Awakening. What if the chaos, confusion, and collapse you feel in the world right now isn’t the end, but the beginning of something far better? For generations, women have been conditioned to doubt their intuition, suppress their desires, shrink their power, and play by rules never designed for them to thrive. In a world still gripped by patriarchal systems, weaponized sex, political games, and outdated social programming, something unprecedented is stirring: the rise of the sovereign, sexually awakened, and heart-led Modern Matriarch.

In her book, Women, Sex & Power, Angela delivers a bold new vision for this dawn of awakening into the HER-era. Drawing on her journey from Catholic-raised corporate leader in male-dominated fields to awakened shaman and spiritual firebrand, she exposes the psychological spells of the “Fakeriarchy,” the archetypes that keep outdated systems running, and the hidden battlegrounds of the womb, sexuality, politics, money, and “traditional” feminine roles.

Part spiritual guidebook and part roadmap for what’s rising, this book introduces the new archetype of Herera, and a vision for the new age of the Divine Feminine, along with practical tools for shadow work, sexual liberation, alchemizing sacred rage, exiting “The Matrix” and more. Ladies, you were never meant to live small. Women, Sex & Power invites you to burn the old scripts and step into authentic truth, pleasure, and leadership on your own terms.

Angela is a modern mystic, and a former top-performing corporate sales leader with a savvy corporate edge—a woman who has lived and operated inside competitive, male-dominated power systems with success. Now retired from corporate, she is founder/ owner of The Rose Heart, LLC, and the Chief Archetype Officer of HERera ™ LLC, a leadership consulting collaborative. Angela is also a shamanic practitioner, and as you can see, a catalyst for feminine awakening. She bridges the worlds of business strategy and spiritual sovereignty, guiding women to reclaim their bodies, voices, and power without apology.
