Fear often shows up like the troll under the bridge — guarding the very transformation we long for. In this episode, I sit with writer and philosopher Penn Holtan to explore the paradox of fearing the future while still leaping into it.

Penn shares her journey from England to New York, from advertising to authorship, and the soul-thread that carried her through each transition. Together we uncover how shadow work, intuition, and contentment dissolve scarcity into abundance and awaken creativity as a deeper truth.

✨ Highlights: fear of the future as a teacher, boredom as a sign to grow, shadow as a companion to the light, and the diamond of soul-purpose that refuses to be ignored.

✧ Reflection / Episode Summary In this episode, I welcome Penn Johnson — ceremonial song keeper, soul guide, and carrier of the Left Angle Cross of Wishes. His artistry lives not in performance, but in prayer. With over 450 songs as living medicine, Penn reminds us that music is not entertainment, but remembrance — a direct transmission from land, spirit, and soul.

Through stories of pilgrimage, chaos, and sacred presence, Penn reveals what it means to embody emotional truth and to guard values that matter most. His journey through India’s Maha Kumbh Mela, his raw reflections on performance versus authenticity, and his devotion to ceremony offer a powerful mirror for creatives navigating the tension between noise and truth.

Penn doesn’t chase the wish — he is the wish fulfilled. His presence, like his music, awakens something ancient within us: the courage to be real in a world of image, and the medicine of stillness in a world of noise.

✧ Key Takeaways ✧ Music becomes sacred when it tells the stories that words cannot. ✧ Chaos is not an obstacle — it is a spiritual practice of finding peace within. ✧ Performance dissolves when presence takes the stage. ✧ Our greatest creations are not forced; they are remembered. ✧ To be a mirror of wholeness is to inspire others into their own remembering.

✧ Integration Practice ❍ Journal Prompt: Where in my life am I still performing, and where am I allowing authenticity to lead? ❍ Somatic Practice: Step outside barefoot. Whisper to the land: “I am the wish fulfilled.” Notice how your body softens. ❍ Sacred Ritual: Sit in silence for five minutes without trying to create. Let presence itself be the song.

✧ Closing Whisper “Your creativity is not a performance. It is a prayer. You don’t chase the wish — you are the wish fulfilled.”

Serena doesn’t just talk about beauty — she becomes it, reminding us that true prosperity hums in resonance, in spaciousness, and in the quiet confidence of being.
