088: Navigating the Winds of Change: Embracing Spiritual Practices During Life's Transitions

Have you ever heard it said that the only constant in life is change? If you ask me, it's so true. I see it in my own life and countless others around me. Join me in this episode as I journey into the land of the empty nest (or free bird, as one of my sisters prefers to call it) and discuss how spiritual practices are supporting me through these changes, as well as providing support for my friends and family members. 

This upcoming time of change has been greatly guided by my spiritual practices. Forming such practices and rituals has overturned many of my past beliefs. This has been supported through coaching programs, therapy, reading, and a commitment to myself. One of the earliest premises of Mystical Sisterhood was that joy and healing can coexist in the same space. This principle holds true for the change I’m going through now, combining joy, celebration, healing, and moments of emotional difficulty.


This place in my life, as my kids are leaving the nest, brings a shift in energy, quietness, stillness, and a slower pace. The emotions are real and shared among us. Moms and women, cultured to nurture others, often overlook their own growth. This experience has given me the gift of self-compassion and self-care, enriched by the practices and beliefs I’ve developed. 


As I reflect on my journey and prepare for the changes ahead, I hold deep appreciation and celebration for all it encompasses. Whether you're going through change yourself or supporting loved ones, take care of yourself and reach out if you need support. I'm here for you, offering workshops, creative gatherings, and a space of love and understanding. We are in this life together, and our shared experiences make us stronger.


Thank you for being with me on this journey. If you feel a desire to dive deeper into self-exploration, join me for one of my upcoming events. Let's embrace change and new beginnings together.

About the Podcast

Mystical Sisterhood
Mystical Sisterhood is a celebration of women interested in connection to themselves, community, and the Universe. If you are a woman seeking conscious conversations on modern spirituality, understanding your soul’s journey, contemplating new directions in life, and mystical practices, you are in the right place!

The weekly podcast is hosted by Maureen Spielman, a Transformational Life Coach, trained in the Art and Practice of Spiritual Psychology, as well as Integrative Wellness and Conscious Parenting.

Maureen boldly invites the questions we only feel safe enough to ask in the community of other curious women ready to shift the current paradigm and soar. These curated conversations marry what we think of as our mainstream lives with the mystical.

Each episode infuses everyday women with the strength and clarity to rise above the self-limiting beliefs we have all heard on repeat in our heads so we can step into the limitless possibilities for shining and thriving in this lifetime.

Through interviews with healers, intuitives, and other courageous women doing the work of developing our inner lives, Maureen explores how to leave the lack dance behind, reclaim our worthiness, honor our intuition, and let the light in so we can more clearly see the light in others (and ourselves).

If you want to join this global movement of healers and seekers creating a new paradigm convened by an authentic woman who embodies the transformation practices she promotes, subscribe and listen to the Mystical Sisterhood podcast today.
