Motherhood can be beautiful and still feel savage. When life is piling on, when support is thin, and when you are expected to carry everyone else’s comfort, the “best job in the world” line stops sounding inspiring and starts sounding like a gag order. I’m Kirsty Dee, and I’m saying the quiet part out loud: lots of mums love their kids and still feel overwhelmed, resentful, and privately ashamed for struggling.

I take you through my own motherhood journey, from pregnancy sickness and not being believed in labour, to the aftermath of pain, feeding pressure, and the constant sense that if anything goes wrong the blame lands on mum. We also talk neurodivergent parenting, school battles, masking, and the long road to an autism diagnosis, plus how years of navigating systems can grind families down. If you have ever questioned your choices, or felt like a “monster” for having hard thoughts, you’re not alone.

Then we get practical with the real culprit behind so much motherhood burnout: the mental load and emotional labour. We name the invisible labour, how it quietly becomes normal, and why “just tell me what to do” is not partnership. I share what has helped me shift it: boundaries, shared responsibility, teaching kids that a household is everyone’s work, and building a village so your time, health and joy matter too. Subscribe, share this with a friend who needs it, and leave a review, then tell me: what part of the mental load are you ready to put down?

The quickest way to find out who benefits from your self-sacrifice is to stop doing it. I am talking about self-abandonment with the nuance we rarely name: women are trained to put themselves last, rewarded when they comply, and then punished when they set boundaries and ask to be met. If you have ever tried to be kind, loving, understanding, and “easy”, only to end up exhausted and unsupported, you are going to feel seen here.

I share what happened when I stopped abandoning myself: people liked me less, relationships shifted, and grief hit hard. We dig into why women who call things out get labelled “not nice”, why credibility gets questioned the moment you stop playing the role, and why the advice to “just be authentic” can be a trap if we do not also tell the truth about the consequences. This is women’s empowerment without the glossy slogans, including the heartbreak of being misunderstood and the resilience it takes to keep choosing yourself anyway.

We also go straight into internalised misogyny, including how it shows up between women. Sometimes “my intuition doesn’t lie” is not intuition at all, but discomfort with a woman who refuses the rule book. I am not asking you to ignore red flags. I am asking you to check yourself, get honest about the programming we have all inherited, and become the kind of woman who backs other women when they are being targeted.

When the practical stuff is not working, sometimes the most radical move is to try the “woo” without giving your power away. We’re talking psychic abilities, intuition, and the clairs in a way that stays grounded, sceptical, and deeply pro-autonomy, especially for women who are tired of being told what to think, feel, or follow.

We break down the most common clairs like claircognisance, clairvoyance and clairaudience, and share real-life examples of how they show up quietly: a sudden inner knowing, a phrase that lands out of nowhere, a vision that later plays out in ordinary life. We also explore why “woo-woo” gets mocked, how that can be tied to patriarchal control, and why discernment matters more than blind belief. Spirit guides and channelling can be helpful, but we do not put anyone, human or non-human, on a pedestal.

You’ll hear a wild out-of-body “cloud nine” story that brings both wonder and a clear warning about chasing spiritual highs. From there we move into tools you can actually use: tarot as a structured framework for alchemy and personal transformation, and astrology as a way to understand your birth chart, moon cycles and transits without outsourcing your choices. If you want spiritual tools that build self-trust rather than dependency, you’ll feel at home here.

Pleasure gets framed as a reward you earn after you’ve 'fixed' everything and everyone. I’m calling time on that. When women are conditioned to overfunction, carry the emotional labour, and stay permanently available, burnout is not a personal failing, it’s the expected outcome. So let’s talk about joy, fun and pleasure as a daily practice, and as a quiet refusal to participate in the dynamics that keep us small.

I share why guilt, especially mum guilt, so often serves patriarchy and not your family, and what happens when you stop “standing to attention” every time someone is disappointed or upset. We dig into the messy middle of change: being judged as selfish, learning boundaries that protect your nervous system, and why trying to control how you’re perceived can turn your whole life into a performance. I also tell a real story from my own week, where my inner critic screamed “self sabotage”, and how I used a candle, journalling and kindness to reset and find the next right step.

We then zoom out into relationships, community and intimacy: how to build a real village through reciprocity, why friendships matter, and what receptivity actually looks like when you let yourself receive without keeping score. This includes sex and pleasure, but the bigger point is life force: coming home to your body, trusting your intuition, and remembering you can hold anger and still laugh, you can want more and still seize the day.

Something feels off, and you can’t tell whether it means “leave” or “lean in”. That limbo is exhausting, especially when everyone around you has an opinion. We talk about a clearer way to decide: how to recognise what is genuinely compatible for you, and how to stop outsourcing your power when fear, insecurity, conditioning, or past trauma is clouding your intuition.

We bring in a framework that makes the fuzzy stuff practical: starved, hungry, content, and overflow. If you feel hungry in a relationship, career, business, habit, or goal, it doesn’t automatically mean it’s wrong. Hunger can simply mean you have needs and you’re ready to be honest about them. Starvation is different, and we speak plainly about why ignoring hunger can spiral into despair, numbness, and feeling trapped. The aim is not constant happiness or relentless self-improvement, but a life with real fulfilment and steadier contentment.

Then we get grounded. This is nervous system work and embodiment, not just mindset. We share simple ways to “metabolise” what you’re going through: a minute with your breath, hands on heart, kind self-talk, or moving your body when stillness makes you more irritated. From that place, boundaries get simpler, clarity arrives, and the next step becomes visible even when you don’t have the full plan.

If this lands, subscribe so you don’t miss what’s next, share the episode with a friend who’s stuck in the “should I stay or should I go?” loop, and leave a review so more women can find this work. What are you hungry for right now?

Patriarchy shows up in the very spiritual spaces that claim to set us free, especially when manifestation teachings push women to stay quiet and grateful. We pull apart “love and light” culture, name the harm, and bring it back to discernment, systems, and building a matriarchy where everyone thrives.
• How patriarchy hides in law of attraction and manifestation culture
• Why gratitude talk can pressure women to minimise pain
• “You get what you focus on” as a tool for silence and self blame
• The difference between a sliver of truth and a whole ideology
• Why systems shape reality as much as mindset
• Discernment as a practice rather than rigid thinking
• Reiki, trauma release, shaking and completing the stress cycle
• Why self care cannot fix oppressive systems alone
• Money, influence and visibility as part of real change
• Love and light as spiritual bypassing and disconnection
• Anger, shadow and taboo as information and power
• Revenge stories as a route out of shame and being “good”
If you've enjoyed this episode, if you found it helpful, do do do share it because we want to build a matriarchy which is where we can all thrive.

Your anger is not a character flaw, and your desire for more is not proof you are ungrateful. We are getting honest about the feelings women are trained to swallow, and we are turning them into fuel.

We unpack “soul metabolism” as the way you metabolise life beyond food: your desires, relationships, creativity, money, romance, rest and the invisible life force energy that tells you what is true for you. When your soul metabolises faster than your circumstances, dissatisfaction is not drama, it is data. We talk about why different nervous systems need different things, why comparison creates shame, and how “it should be enough” often keeps women stuck tolerating the bare minimum.

We also call out the places patriarchy hides in spirituality and personal development. “High vibes only” and law of attraction shortcuts can pressure you to bypass anger and grief, which conveniently stops you questioning what is unfair. The aim is not to act out from rage, but to contain it, listen to it, and channel it into boundaries, decisions and a clear direction. Think GPS: choose where you are headed, then put your time and energy behind it.

You’ve been warned off spells, rituals, and witchcraft your whole life and not always subtly. So what happens when we stop treating “woo-woo” like a guilty secret and start seeing it as a tool for self-trust, healing, and power? I’m going there, properly. I talk about alchemy as intentional time with yourself: not a rigid rulebook, not perfect ingredients, and definitely not outsourcing your power to anyone else.

I share how I used to be genuinely frightened of anything labelled “spell work”, and why that fear wasn’t just cultural conditioning it was rooted in childhood trauma and paranormal experiences. I also speak openly about the pain of not being believed, and how that kind of dismissal can keep us locked in fear. From that perspective, rituals aren’t about performance. They’re about nervous system honesty, intuition, boundaries, and finally giving yourself space to process what life has put on you and how this work helped me to heal from PTSD.

We also get into the witch wound, why reclaiming “witch” can feel political, and why “love and light” spirituality doesn’t serve women who need protection, justice, and discernment. I tell the 2021 story where a simple but fierce ritual coincided with a rapid shift after a long period of feeling stuck and nothing working. Plus how owning what you want can change your standards in your home, your relationships, and your whole sense of self.

If you’re searching for modern witchcraft for women, healing rituals, intuition-led spirituality, shadow work, manifestation alternatives, and grounded spell work, press play.
