The Final Chapter

Connect with me over email: [email protected]. I would love to hear what's been alive for you in this season of life!  In this final episode of the Spiritual Feminist podcast, I talk about my radio silence of the past year (and what has happened!) and how I feel about energetically closing this space. Never say never, I might be back, but in the meantime, find me on Substack (which I hope to start up again soon) and on my Dutch podcast with breathwork & mindfulness practices AdemZee.  Thank you dear sister, for being part of this glorious journey we call life and part of this community with me. I appreciate you, so so much. 

Welcome to the 150th episode of the podcast! It's not like I have timed these things, but it just so happens I have something major to share with you - we found our dream property in the north of Sweden! Life has been an absolute rollercoaster ever since, and in this episode, I tell you all about it. I talk about the day the butterflies came back and other signs I received, as well as the synchronicity of Aries season & the Spring Equinox for this chapter in my life. Above all, I'm experiencing a level of depth and spirituality on my journey that is unlike anything else. In this episode, I tell you all about it.  I can't wait to share more of this journey and all the life lessons this land will gift me with you!  Read the March in Review post on my Substack 'Untethered by Leneth Witte' here.  Connect with me on Instagram: @thespiritualfem, my personal page @lenethwitte & the adVANtures in Sweden @tinytimestwo Or send me an email: [email protected].

This week, I wanted to share the Substack I wrote in 2023 about how my feminism and my desire to live a slow, simple life might be at odds with each other. When I reread this piece the other day, I realised how apt it was for the phase I (still) find myself in right now and I wanted to share it on the podcast as it resonated so much still and wanted to open up the space to muse on it further with you. I find it so interesting (and perhaps a little scary) to observe how the online spaces about slower living and homesteading are becoming dangerously close to right-wing, tradwife content - which is a space I absolutely do not want to be in. It begs the question how my feminism rhymes with desiring a simple life and leaving hustle culture. In this episode (and in the Substack blog), I delve into this deeper. Mind you: I don't have the answers (I wish!) but I think posing the questions and allowing ourselves to reflect on these matters, is somewhat of an answer in itself :).  I'd love to hear your thoughts! I'm also looking forward to getting my Substack going at some point soon again. Watch this space :).  Read along with the Substack piece here.  I'd love to hear from you, so please come find me online!

It is the Equinox - a time of 'in between', a snapshot in time of stillness and divine balance, and also a marker of a change in season. A time of 'not quite', and equally a time of planting seeds and transforming our energy by letting a little bit of Yang in.  This liminal space is marked here in Sweden by 'vårvinter', literally 'spring-winter', the season in between. We have the warmth of the sun and the longer days already, but it is also still snowing at times and the ground is still frozen. This season here is teaching me a lot about pausing, surrender and how stillness can stir so much and does require a gentle flow. In this episode, I talk about how I experience this season in my inner world too, with my bleed being delayed and the next chapter in our life here in Sweden not being there yet. I muse on how I still find meaning and belonging within the margins of life, and how a moment of pause and not-knowing actually faciliatates and accelerates growth and transformation - if only you dare to be fully surrender to it. How are you experiencing this Equinox? And how do you navigate seasons of in-betweenness?I'd love to hear from you, so please come find me online!

I've been experiencing grief and sadness lately, and in this episode I muse on how I was able to hold myself in those waves of raw human emotion and feel safe within that too.  I truly believe you feel the depths of your emotions to the extent you're able to hold them, even if it doesn't feel like that in the moment. What you do need, however, is space. Space to feel, space to listen in, space to be. And yes, this is a privilege, but also a basic human right & need! To know grief is to know love, and in that regard I am so grateful to have been experiencing this heaviness. I hope my ramblings today hit home in a way for you too.  I'd love to hear from you, so please come find me online!

What does it mean to live intuitively? If the past six months of life have shown me anything, it's that I'm much closer to doing so than before. In this episode, I reflect on how I've gotten to the point where trusting myself is now my norm, and how I've learned to letting life flow.  To me, living intuitively means stepping back from time to time and letting life take over. Daring to let life unfold as it's meant to and not force or pressure anything that isn't aligned. It's not easy - but it can be simple. I hope that with this instalment of the Untethered series, you will find inspiration and support to choose the intuitive life for yourself too.  I'd love to hear from you, so please come find me online!

It's time for our annual reflection & intention chats! Recording this a little later than usual, but I did want to continue the tradition of this yearly episode where I talk about my reflections of the past year and my word & intentions of the new year, so I'm happy that I found some time and space to do so!  As always, I dive deep into the energy of what I wish to embody in this upcoming year and the lessons I learned in the past year. Equally, I talk about what I'm proud of, where I'm at in life & what I'm looking forward to in 2025. My word of the new year is 'presence' and I hope to find calmness, gentleness, and a general sense of unfolding and trust within that word (and within the year). So, grab a cup of tea or cacao and let's catch up!  I'd love to hear your thoughts, where you're at and what your word of 2025 is, so please come find me on the interwebs!  Connect with me on Instagram: @thespiritualfem, my personal page @lenethwitte & the adVANtures in Sweden @tinytimestwo Or send me an email: [email protected].  I'd love to hear from you.

Can we all soften a little more in the imperfect present? I've been sitting with this deep invitation during the past couple of weeks, as I find myself in an in-between phase in life and dealing with the messiness of it all! In today's episode of the Untethered series, I invite you to come as you are and muse with me on how we can approach the remainder of the year with softness, devotion and a sense of grounding. I talk about how I found myself in a freeze state upon returning to the Netherlands and how setting up a 'self care schedule' has given me the framework to get myself out it. I also invite us both to sit with a couple of (journaling) questions, reflecting on what is alive within me today and how I can be kind to myself today. I'd love for you to take some time and space today to reflect on this for yourself, if that resonates!  Come to Sweden with me! Get on the Sweden retreat waitlist & be the first to know when I'm ready to offer it to you.  I'd love to hear your thoughts on this episode, my musings on the Spiritual Feminist as a brand name + Sweden retreats!

Hi dear sister! I'm back on the podcast with a brand new series titled 'Untethered'. In this series, I explore where I'm at right now in my life, how I'm finding moments of grounding whilst doing vanlife fulltime, and what my lived experience of spirituality currently looks like.  In this first episode, I catch you up on my year, talk vulnerably about why I stepped away from - and pressed pause on -  the Spiritual Feminist (and the power of quitting), why I feel called to come back with the podcast and how my word of the year, 'space', has been serving me so far. Oh, and I also talk about feeling the calling to do retreats again! I recorded this episode outside, at a beautiful lake in the north of Sweden, in the autumnal sunshine (a.k.a. my happy place!).  If you tune in, I just want to say the biggest thank you. For sticking around, or finding the podcast and engaging with the content whilst I wasn't there to feed it. It means the world to me that the Spiritual Feminist podcast & platform has still felt so alive this year. I'm excited to see how it will evolve.  I'd love to hear your thoughts on this episode, my musings on the Spiritual Feminist as a brand name + Sweden retreats! You can DM me on Instagram (@thespiritualfem) or send me an email with your thoughts ([email protected]). Oh, and Spotify has a reply option per episode now too (on mobile)! I'd love to hear from you!  You can also follow my vanlife adventures over on @tinytimestwo. 

It's the annual reflective episode where I dive deep into how my word of the year served me for this past year and looking forward to setting intentions and receiving a new word of the year for 2024!  Even though I have taken a step back from creating content, I really didn't want to miss this tradition. So, in this episode:  I catch you up on my life and plans for 2024 I reflect on this past year using my favourite reflective tools and talk about how my 2023 word 'devotion' has served as a red thread  I talk about how the word 'space' will probably be my 2024 word and the intentions that this word offers me too  I hope you have a wonderful end to the year and start to the new year. I want to thank you SO deeply for being here and sticking around, it means the world!  ~ Join us inside Goodbye Good Girl - any time, any place... and at any pace!  ~ Let's hang out on Instagram (@thespiritualfem), read my writings on Substack, send me an email with your thoughts ([email protected]) and click around on the website for all the current offerings ~ The Spiritual Feminist is an online platform and a welcoming space for women who'd like to dive deeper into spirituality and female empowerment.
