Eclectica Hub's Rooted In Remembrance Podcast

In this episode, Demi Lee and Anna-Maria journey into the shadow side of the feminine - the hidden patterns that keep women small, silent, and disconnected from their deepest truth.We explore the subtle and not-so-subtle ways women betray themselves. Mothers who remain in strained or disempowering partnerships for the sake of family, women who appease partners at the cost of their own desires, those who shrink their needs in birth rooms or bend to medical authority, and the devastating toll of rejecting our bodies through bounce-back culture and cosmetic surgery.We also name the shadow dynamics that arise in love and intimacy. Too often, women deny their deepest desires for fear of losing love, saying “yes” to open relationships they don’t truly want, or avoiding difficult truths to protect their partner’s feelings. To advocate for your needs in relationship is an act of courage - to be willing to risk rupture, to stand on your own two feet, and to truly see the mirror your partner holds up for you rather than victimising yourself in the process.These shadows reveal themselves in the choices we make, the stories we tell our children, and the way we silently absorb the message that women’s bodies, voices, and desires are secondary. When we deny our truth, our children inherit that denial. When we reject or change our bodies, our children learn to question the beauty of their own.This conversation is not an indictment but an illumination - an invitation to recognise the cost of appeasement, to reclaim agency over body and voice, and to reimagine a feminine that is discerning, heart-led, self-responsible, and rooted in embodied agency.- Join The Way of The WombKeeper Byron Bay- Join Feminine Wealth AllianceSong: Elders by VeroCoya

In this powerful conversation, we explore what it truly means to be a nourished woman - one who treats her body as a temple, not a trend that seeks to extract worthiness in beauty ideals. We unpack the deep conditioning that glorifies thinness, control, and self-denial, and the way that narrative has disconnected so many women from their innate fertility, softness, and creative power.We speak candidly about the transition from plant-based to meat-inclusive diets and the impact that shift had on our hormones, cycles, and vitality. From skipping meals to chasing aesthetics, we look at how diet culture depletes not just the body, but the feminine essence itself.Fertility isn’t just about reproduction - it’s about life-force. It’s about having the energy to birth ideas, businesses, art, and future generations. So we ask: what’s more important - forcing your body into aesthetic ideals, or nourishing it enough to birth new paradigms?This episode is a reclamation - of softness, of strength, of food as sacred, and of the body as a beloved companion on the path of feminine embodiment.- Join Way of The Womb Keeper Byron Bay Here- Join Feminine Wealth Alliance Here

In this episode, Anna-Maria and Demi Lee explore the pathway of feminine maturation and what it truly means to descend into your matter and live with nothing to prove.Together they unravel the layers of the performative feminine and the ways performative eroticism often seeks to extract worthiness from others. While there can be medicine in cultivating the courage it takes to allow yourself to be seen and received in your eroticism - via performing it outwardly - they invite listeners to ask: From what place are you expressing from? When it arises from sovereignty and self-intimacy, there is no need to film it, flaunt it, or commodify it. It is felt. It radiates. It becomes contained. It becomes magnetism without agenda.They speak to the death of the masks, the illusions, and the victim-maiden identity, and name what it means to descend into a deeper embodiment - into backbone, womb, voice, cervix, hips, and boundaries. This is the maturation of the feminine: a rose with thorns, a sword of truth, a channel that runs from crown to heart to throat to womb to pussy, where communion with Spirit becomes creation in the world. They also acknowledge the ways modern culture has sought to sever women from this channel - the pill, the medicalisation of birth, and sexual assault all treating the womb as an object or organ rather than the gateway of life and Spirit. Reclaiming the sanctity of the female body is essential, so it cannot be stolen, medicalised, or diminished, but instead revered as the threshold every human being once crossed.This conversation illuminates how true magnetism emerges not from performance, but from presence. Not from seeking, but from knowing. It is the essence of a woman who is rooted, contained, and free.- Sign up to Feminine Wealth Alliance Here- Sign up to Way of the WombKeeper Byron Bay Here- Sign up to The Reclamation 2.0 Sydney (Way of the WombKeeper Addition) Here

In this episode, Demi Lee and Anna-Maria step into the raw terrain of leadership - the arena where projection, expectation, and responsibility collide. Together, they explore what it really takes to stand in visibility: to carry the weight of others’ needs, to remain rooted in your own backbone and authority, and at the same time - stay humble, receptive, and willing to see the blind spots that inevitably arise.But this conversation is not just for “leaders” in the traditional sense. It is for anyone navigating the initiatory path of life. Because whether you hold space for others or not, you will face the same call: to know yourself, to meet your wounds with honesty, and to recognise how those wounds shape your choices. This conversation explores how triggers are not there to punish us or keep us suffering - they are teachers, mirrors that reveal where healing and responsibility still live within us.From people-pleasing tendencies that quietly dictate decisions, to the online storms of projection and pressure, they speak to the arduous yet liberating process of self-responsibility. Leadership, and life itself, asks us to dance between strength and tenderness: to hold authority without armouring the heart, and to remain open without abandoning truth.This is an invitation to anyone ready to walk with more awareness, to see every person who unsettles you as a guide, and to embrace the wild, unglamorous, and deeply human work of being in the arena.- Sign Up for Feminine Wealth Alliance Here - Sign Up for Way of The WombKeeper Byron Bay Here.- Sign Up for The Reclamation 2.0 (Way of The WombKeeper Addition) in Sydney HerePodcast Song: Elders by Vero Coya

In this powerful opening to our brand new season and rebirth under the name Rooted in Remembrance, Demi Lee and AnnaMaria sit down to strip it all back. No polish, no masks. Just the raw, unfiltered truth of what it has meant to walk through fire and come home to the root of who we are.We speak about the sacred unraveling that brought us here... the seasons of listening, the death of naive structures, and the deep maturity emerging from years of stretching, breaking, and re-seeing. We talk about what happens when businesses are built from wounds instead of wisdom, and how we’re now tending the roots of Eclectica with new eyes, deeper integrity, and a clearer relationship to power, structure, and truth.This episode is a reckoning. A stepping into leadership as CEOs of a vision once born from feminine chaos, now rising through the grounded discernment of the mother.We talk about sisterhood, the complexity of leading friends, our past wounds with the masculine, and how this all showed up in our relationship to hierarchy, money, boundaries, and sustainability.If you're in a season of burning it down to rebuild from the root - of letting what is false fall away and returning to the deeper rhythm of your becoming - this episode is for you.Welcome to the crucible.Welcome to Rooted in Remembrance.Sign Up to One of Our Upcoming Intensives:- The Reclamation New Zealand- The Way of the WombKeeper Byron Bay- The Reclamation 2.0 WombKeeper Addition SydneyPodcast Song: Elders by Vero Coya

What does it mean to be in your spine  - not just in posture, but in truth?In this episode, Anna-Maria and Demi Lee unpack the sacred architecture of sisterhood: the kind that doesn’t flinch at your bigness, but bows to it. The kind that recognises your success and everything you have achieved in your life as a mirror and a call.We speak to the clearings and contractions that come when jealousy arises - and how it can be a compass. We explore how to dismantle the internalised patterns of tall poppy syndrome, performative humility, and quiet competition - and ask: what if celebration is the most radical act of all?This is a conversation about self-responsibility, staying in integrity when ruptures arise, and learning to hold each other - and ourselves - without collapsing or avoiding.It’s about walking with women who don’t see your connection as dispensable and forging a sisterhood that trades in truth over comfort.Sign up to our upcoming offerings:The Reclamation 2.0 Sydney (WombKeeper Addition)The Way of The WombKeeper Byron BayThe Reclamation New Zealand

Nature is inherently sacred, infused with spiritual virtues that can be intentionally collaborated with in order to effect change. Plant Spirits in particular, have a lot they can teach us. When devoted to, they become invaluable allies for us on our pathway of evolution, sharing wisdom with us about life, death, physical illness, spirituality, our emotional wellbeing, and our journey of becoming.In today's episode we invite in Guest Speaker and fellow Eclectica Hub Facilitator Lahni Gordon, to speak about the nature of Plant Devotion and what it means to cultivate intentional, reciprical relationships with Plants. Through her 10 years of studying Plants and Shamanism under the Shipibo Lineage, Lahni has a lot of wisdom and medicine to share in these realms. In this conversation, Demi Lee, Anna-Maria, and Lahni discuss the nature of working with plants intentionally, how to build meaningful relationships with plants, and what it means to devote to a plant through prayer, dieta, song, stripping back, strict protocol, and monogamy. They speak about how the plants clean us of dark air and negative thought-forms, and how plants communicate with us through the subtle realms, dream work, and ceremony. This episode offers a Pathway of Remembrance - and will support listeners in remembering that there is no separation between us and nature, and that plants are living spirits we can foster meaningful relationships with.Sign up to our 2025 Melbourne-Based Embodied Eldership Container Here: https://www.eclecticahub.com/embodiedeldershipYou can work with Lahni Gordon directly here: https://www.instagram.com/lahnigordon/

The womb is our only means of entrance into this world.Let that land for a moment…And how often do we revere the womb as a bridge between realms? A multi-dimensional portal? A gateway to which new souls enter the world from? To which we all enter the world from?In today’s episode, Demi Lee and Anna-Maria discuss the importance of exploring the womb from a multidimensional perspective - and how when doing so, we imbue it with a depth and meaning that it cannot receive when examining it through a scientific, intellectual or medical lens only.In this conversation, they discuss the ways our wombs connect us to our maternal lineage, the importance of exploring birthing imprints, understanding womb grief from C-Sections, Operations, Abortions, Miscarriages and Early Births - and the ways in which our womb has been medicalised, domesticated, colonised, and capitalised for millennia. The womb is approached quite clinically through the Western Medical System - rather than revering the Womb as Sacred Ground.It’s important to remember that the womb is more than just an organ - she is an ancient cave that holds her own consciousness, her own grief, her own song-lines, and her own stories.Reconciling with this, alongside reconciling with the Womb herself, is some of the deepest work we can do as women.Embodied Eldership 2025 is open for Enrolment now: https://www.eclecticahub.com/embodiedeldership

In today's fast paced world of nervous system dysregulation and highly charged reactivity, it's rare to slow down, take a breath, and recognise when we are being hijaked by our emotions.When we feel triggered, charged, angry, or hurt - we tend to react impulsively. And hey - we all do it! Certain emotions take the wheel and we can end up spitting venom at the person we deem 'at fault' for this. We are in a state of fight-or-flight and the impulse is to react with whatever is alive for us.  In that moment, our perceptions of the situation are greatly altered. The emotional charge prevents us from seeing the situation for what it is. We are seeing the situation through a distorted lens, one that is based on our own wounding and pain. At this point, there is no listening going on anymore. Our emotions and defence mechanisms are driving our behaviours, doing what they can to keep us 'safe'.In today's episode, Demi Lee and Anna-Maria share the power in being able to slow down, cultivate radical self-awareness and truly take responsibility for what we are feeling. The speak to the power of Parts Work, recognising which part of you is taking the wheel so you can slowly give that part love and find out where it's not yet free.This episode is for anyone who struggles with emotional reactivity and finds themselves going around in circles navigating conflict with the people they love. They offer a few tools and resources that can help you become radically accountable for your nervous system, for your wounding, and for where you are placing unfair assumptions or expectations on the people in your life.
