The Nature of Invisible Things

This podcast episode features my conversation with clinical therapist, tarot reader, and art witch Mallory Dowd about the intelligence of grief and self-doubt, and their relationship to personal growth. Mallory shared her personal experiences with grief, including the loss of her grandmother and a close friend, which led to a significant spiritual awakening and her current work as a therapist and spiritual mentor. Our discussion explored how self-doubt can serve as a signpost for important life changes, with Mallory describing it as an intelligence that invites slowness and the embrace of uncertainty. We examined tarot cards representing different flavors of self-doubt, including the Fives, Sixes, and Sevens, and discussed practical strategies for working with self-doubt, practicing self-compassion, and connecting with nature.

In this episode of The Nature of Invisible Things podcast, I am joined by mother, mystic, mentor, and energy-work practitioner Janith Chang. Together, we explore the topic of personal power, with Janith sharing her journey from feeling powerless in both motherhood and her business to discovering a new definition of power rooted in sovereignty and inner radiance. Janith describes how she transformed her understanding of power from a hierarchical "power over" approach to a more authentic, self-empowered way that naturally creates impact through presence rather than force. We discuss the difference between manufactured confidence and genuine personal power, with Janith explaining how she moved from performing a confident persona to embracing her true self.Welcome, Janith!Watch this episode on YouTubeJanith’s BioJanith is a mother, mystic, mentor, and energy-work practitioner. She has spent the past nine years studying and embodying the esoteric and healing arts, whilst traversing and transmuting the worlds of her own inner landscape. She has trained across a range of modalities, spanning coaching, yoga, mindfulness, breathwork, akashic healing, and energy work.But more than any label or training, Janith is a human, simply (and sometimes not so simply), deeply devoted to her path of embodying more of her Self through wholeheartedly engaging Life and artfully dancing with the Mystery.Spiritual Entrepreneurship and Motherhood have been two of her greatest teachers in the curriculum of her life thus far, and her work is profoundly shaped by her personal transformations through these initiations. From stepping into her personal power through motherhood after crippling post-partum anxiety, to unlocking the wellspring of her natural life force and capacity to ”do” and Be more than ever before on way less sleep as a projector-mama-and-spiritual-entrepreneur, to finally experiencing flow and expansion in her business after years of deep-rooted “not-enoughness,” time and time again she meets each and every moment of her Great Becoming and Unbecoming wholly committed to engaging whatever her inner world and outer circumstance present with presence, honesty, and a willingness to transform.The goal of her work is to walk mothers and spiritual entrepreneurs through the fires of their own initiations and to guide them closer to their Truth through energy and self-mastery.Follow Janithschedule energy work with Janith in January or Februarywebsite: janithchang.comIG: instagram.com/janithchangnewsletter sign upFollow ErinFind Erin at slowmagick.com, @slow.magick on Instagram, and The Nature of Invisible Things on Substack.

In this episode of The Nature of Invisible Things podcast, I share a recorded excerpt from SOVEREIGN, one of my containers in which we explore the stories, beliefs, frameworks of the mind, values, actions, and daily practices that either help us or sometimes prevent us from making change in our lives. Recorded in Sagittarius season, December 2024, this invitation is to connect with the intelligence in the body that allows us to ‘birth’ new creative ideas into being, along with the Spirit of the concept or thought form that desires to be created through us. I have found that creating space for presence through my own Deep Listening, aka clairsentience (and all of the ‘clairs’), helps me understand how ideas, the spirit of the moment, and my internal knowing make the information known to me. So in this episode, I share the invitation to descend deeper into the body and its intelligence by asking, ‘What is the next right step?’ and listening for the response.Watch this episode on YouTube.New Offering:SACRED SHAPES | Craft the story of your personal astrology starts soon!
