In this episode, I speak with Perdita Finn, author, teacher, and spiritual guide, about her beautiful new book, Mothers of Magic, and the timeless wisdom of reclaiming mother energy as a force for healing, community, and transformation. Together, we explore the many ways motherhood extends far beyond biology, inviting us into a deeper relationship with ourselves, one another, and the unseen world.

Perdita shares the inspiration behind Mothers of Magic and reflects on the forgotten traditions of women gathering in community, honoring intuition, and embracing the sacred role of nurturing life in all its forms. Our conversation weaves together spirituality, storytelling, ancestry, and the profound importance of remembering the wisdom carried by generations of women.

We also discuss how modern culture has separated us from these ancient practices and why restoring community, ritual, and shared mothering is essential for both personal and collective healing. Perdita offers an expansive vision of motherhood that welcomes everyone into the practice of cultivating compassion, creativity, and connection.
