Tara revisits conversations with two friends from the Wild Goose Festival. First Frances Cutshaw talks about her journey with self-love and the Order of St. Hildegard. She shares her struggle and dedication to caring for herself spiritually and physically, inspired by divine calling and sources like Brene Brown and Enneagram studies. She speaks about the founding principles and goals of the Order of St. Hildegard which seeks to empower and heal individuals through a new, inclusive form of chaplaincy. Then Joy Celeste Crawford joins the conversation to share her story of overcoming breast cancer and the love she received throughout her journey. She discusses her passion for spiritual guidance and the interconnectedness of all life. Both interviews emphasize the importance of self-care, spiritual growth, and the integration of the sacred feminine into one's life and work.
