Have you ever felt stuck between holding onto something familiar and stepping into something new? In this episode, Roseleen dives deeply into the layers of starting over, starting afresh, beginning or pivoting particularly in midlife when changes feel both necessary and profound. She shares wisdom about discerning when it’s truly time to pivot, how to navigate uncertainty with grace, and why letting go of an old identity can feel like grief and liberation at the same time. Come explore how to walk through your thresholds with courage and compassion, trusting the quiet voice that knows the way.

In this week’s episode, we ask, ‘Why Walk the Celtic Wheel?’ and ‘How can we bring it into our daily life?’. The Celtic Wheel isn’t just about marking the seasons, it supports us in our self-awareness so we can learn how to embrace change, navigate all of life and move with the natural rhythms of life.

What does it mean to walk the Wheel and not just know about it? To bring it from understanding into direct experience. We explore how these turning points support us through transitions and offer a deeper sense of belonging and connection to the greater web of life.

We discuss how to integrate the Celtic Wheel into your daily life in a way that feels rooted and aligned to you.

Listen to 'Imbolc:Tender Stirrings of New Beginnings'

Want to experience more from the Thirsty Soul? Join Roseleen's Imbolc Shamanic Ceremony 'Burn Away Stagnancy'. Inspired by the energy of Imbolc, is designed to purify your energy, rekindle your spark, and make way for renewed vitality, clarity of purpose, and bold action. This is your moment to embrace tender potential, awaken bold energy, and bloom into the life waiting for you.

This week’s episode invites you to become aware of how you are meeting the energies of Imbolc. Imbolc offers you a place to reflect on the seeds of our vision you carry within.

Where do you want to focus your precious life force in the coming cycle?

What are you choosing to commit to, what seeds do you truly want to grow?

Imbolc invites you to listen deeply and allow them to emerge. What is the vision, intention, dream or way of being that keeps knocking gently on your door? What if you stopped ignoring the quiet whispers of your heart and began to nurture what’s been waiting within you all along?

In this episode, we discuss:

• Imbolc as a time of slow emergence and tender beginnings.
• Feeling into the quiet hope that stirs within.
• Exploring how brigids qualities can support you on your path
• Identifying and nurturing the "seeds" of creativity, purpose, and renewal.
• Letting go of perfectionism, doubt, and fear etc to create space for growth.
• Some simple rituals and reflections to connect with the energy of Imbolc and Bridget’s guiding light.

Beginnings don’t have to be perfect or rushed. They get to be messy and uncertain. Can you let yourself be with that? The most important thing is to start.

What might emerge from within you if you allowed yourself to truly listen to the quiet flame within?

What might happen if you made room for it to grow?

Have you ever found yourself standing at the end of January wishing you had 'wintered' differently?

Maybe you feel exhausted, frustrated, and lack the space you deeply crave. Your body longs for stillness but you’re being pulled by the wave of rushing into the year. Or maybe you drank deeply from the well of winter and now is the time to reflect on the medicine received from the darkness - so you don’t forget it. How can you hold onto the gifts of winter when you open more towards the slowly growing light of Imbolc.

In this episode, I guide you to reflect on your relationship to winter - how it shaped you and how you might approach it differently next year. How can you emerge at gently at Imbolc feeling satiated, rested and carrying within your dream seeds.

I would love to know what resonates with you. What you have received from your wintering?

Healing is messy and beautiful when we learn to embrace the Mystery.

This week's podcast episode asks 'What does healing mean to you?' and how does that definition support or hinder your healing?

Imagine healing as an ongoing, natural part of life - not something to be conquered, a destination to be reached or something reserved only for crisis moments. How can we move from seeing healing as linear, goal-oriented, or something within us to be "fixed."? What if we could open to the idea that our healing is a deeply personal and non-linear journey. One that invites us to embrace curiosity, self-compassion, and acceptance of all parts of ourselves - including the messy, tender, and resistant aspects?

We explore the importance of allowing healing to unfold in its own time and the soul's time. What would happen if we let go of the expectations we place on ourselves and our healing so we can be surprised at how the benefits ripple throughout our being and life. Rather than striving for perfection or instant results, we can instead focus on becoming more alive, embracing vitality, and engaging with life as it happens.

The episode ends with an invitation to reflect on what would change if you embraced wholeness as you are today.
