Welcome to another episode of Returning: A podcast to return to yourself and the wisdom within. Today, I'm returning with the beautiful, Julie Parker. Together we explore the Priestess path, sacred leadership, spiritual practice, embodying beauty, and the wisdom of listening to our elders. Julie is a mentor, counsellor, coach, supervisor and guide for sacred leaders and space holders. She is the Founder of The Beautiful You Coaching Academy, Co-Founder of Priestess Temple School and has trained thousands of life coaches from around the world to birth their soul businesses. Julie and I first crossed paths many moons ago and I’ve been so excited to bring her voice and heart into the podcast. Her story captures the path of the priestess so beautifully and together we explore so many themes around spiritual leadership, the paradox of beauty, the importance of listening deeply to our elders, weaving sacred practice into our daily rhythms, and navigating perimenopause. “I have always been fascinated by the power of anything that looked beautiful or felt beautiful or sounded beautiful because what it sparked and inspired in me was my best and most amazing self.” - Julie Parker KEY TIMESTAMPS: 01:40 Opening Sacred Space. 03:11 Thriving on feeling into what is needed. 05:15 The path of the priestess and sacred leadership. 09:00 Walking the ancestral lines and connecting with our elders. 27:15 Ritual is repetitive action. 28:42 Weaving spiritual practices into everyday life. 33:01 Beauty as part of the spiritual embodied experience. 34:34 Being luxurious when it comes to spaces. 40:02 Julie’s learning journey that she came in with. 43:25 The enormous physical rite of passage - perimenopause. 46:54 Slowing down to return to the wisdom within. 48:26 Today’s Soul Inquiry prompts.   SOUL INQUIRY Soul Inquiry is a practice where we enter a direct dialogue with our inner self.  Today’s Soul Inquiry prompt is: Are there any elders in your life you are being called to spend time with in your life?
