In this powerful episode, my guest Olivia Krishnaswami and I explore the Underworld archetype; a completely unexpected and yet perfectly timed topic! As a poet, writer and mystic, Olivia definitely has a way with words, and I'm so grateful she shared her work and spiritual insights with our pod-community! We chat about: - Figuring out titles and claiming future identities - How to use Archetype energy - The Underworld card  - Silent meditation retreats - Layers of spirituality - Having many purposes + 5 year exercise - Trauma responses - Balanced empathy - Acceptance in not being okay and lots more!
