SOUNDS TRUE: INSIGHTS AT THE EDGE WITH TAMI SIMON
Episode Description: In this podcast, Sounds True’s founder, Tami Simon, speaks with Sarah Durham Wilson about the book and how it helps us to reclaim our power and free ourselves from internalized patriarchal values.

Maiden to Mother
Embodied with Elizabeth DiAlto
Episode Description: How do you relate to being a maiden? A mother? The Mother archetype has nothing to do with bearing children. Instead, it’s a reflection of your hard-earned maturity and a deep connection with your most feminine self. In today’s episode, I chat with Sarah about her journey to uncovering her Mother archetype. In a world full of Maidens, Sarah is shedding light on the power of Mothers. And in doing so, she’s helping us all unlearn the damage of our patriarchal society. We’re sharing the struggles that come with unlearning our societal conditioning and why it’s okay to feel fed up sometimes. Plus, we’re breaking down the performative and partriarchally-driven activism we see online and explaining the damage it can cause.

Maiden to Mother
king polly’s world with king polly
Episode Description: SarahofMagdalene shares so much with us, with so much passion, connectedness & vulnerability. She shares & offers teachings on the Maiden to Mother journey. Moving from the emptiness of not being mothered, existing within the archetype we call Maiden - the immature feminine with its fragility, vanity, reactivity, & drama over dharma... and crossing the threshold into the archetypal Mother - the mature feminine with its responsiveness and resiliency and rootedness. Sarah has taught me so much over the last 7 years - from rebirth through immense pain & darkness, dismantling the patriarchy, softening into maturity, the illusion of good and bad & finding our holy grail, it was an honor to finally sit with her.

From Maiden to Mother
Happy Mama Movement with Amy Taylor-Kabbaz
Episode Description: Often you meet a soul that seems to talk directly to you, deepen your understanding and question life itself. For me, Sarah Durham Wilson ticks all those boxes.

Heartbreak as a Rite of Passage
The Revelation Project with monica rodgers
Episode Description: Why do women keep choosing the same type of men again and again - especially abusive or narcissistic men? If we were raised in a patriarchal house, did we ever truly experience what love is? Why does it feel like a death when you are rejected or left behind? What is “the wounded maiden,” and why is she so thirsty for love and validation from the outside world? What does it mean for us that we live in a matricidal and misogynistic culture? Why is nature so essential to the unbecoming process and untangling from the clutches of patriarchal conditioning? Why learning to love and accept ourselves in our full self-expression and for our whole selves is the deepest and most authentic love we will ever know.

Maiden to Mother
THE PRIESTESS PODCAST with julie parker
Episode Description: We live in a world that chiefly values women remaining in the maiden phase of their life. Messages surround us everywhere that we should be young, spritely, fresh and even virginal, despite the fact that this young stage of life often means we are still maturing and therefore understandably immature, are caught up in our own drama and needs, and crave attention. It can be hard to leave behind our maiden self in such a way that we cross into the more mature mother stage of our life feeling ready for all that entails. My guest on The Priestess Podcast today, Sarah Durham Wilson, is wholly devoted as a priestess to supporting women bridge the life gap from maidenhood to motherhood - and no - that does not mean as a birth mother. What does it actually mean? Tune in to this wise and womanly episode of the podcast today to find out.

The Maiden to Mother Passage
The Vital Mother Podcast with jillian anderson
Episode Description: I LOVE this woman, and was so deeply honored to have this conversation with her. I first discovered Sarah around 2016 while listening to a different podcast, and on that podcast she mentioned the author Marion Woodman. Needless to say my life has never been the same. The audio in this particular episode glitches here and there, but if you can stick with it, you’re sure to receive all of the juice and wisdom available. In this conversation we covered: Sarah’s experience as a single mother. Healing from a cesarean section. Sarah’s move back to New Mexico. Sarah’s first bleed after pregnancy and postpartum. The necessity of having community support. Releasing fierce independence as a woman. The difference between the archetypal mother and the biological mother. The archetypal mother as the full bloom and the peak of your power. And so much more…

The Unmothered Woman
Belonging with becca piastrelli
Episode Description: In this episode of Belonging, Sarah Durham Wilson (aka The Mother Spirit) joins me to talk about moving from the archetype of Maiden to Mother. We get stuck in idealizing the Maiden as a result of many things—including the Patriarchy and beauty industrial complex—and many of us struggle to rise into the wisdom of the Mother archetype (which doesn't necessarily mean literally having children).
Sarah's work is to heal the Maiden wound so that womxn can rise into a healthy Mother archetype. Together we talk about that Maiden to Mother journey, the unhealthy traits of each archetype, what it means to be "unmothered," healing the unworthiness wound, and dancing with the fear of dying.

The Feminine and Her Big, Wild Heart
Environments Exposed with katie titi
Episode Description: This one is a special one. In this week's episode we unpack the feminine and her wild heart. With everything going on in our patriarchal-shaped world today, from the current political climate, to #metoo, to the wars waged against each other, and seemingly, on our beautiful planet, it might seem like an impractical time to embrace the characteristics of unconditional compassion, gentleness, and love. But that's where many of us are actually missing the boat. These traits are in fact some of the characteristics of the empowered feminine, and they are exactly what's needed to counterbalance the weight of the world right now and co-create a planetary space that is a balanced mix of healthy masculine and feminine energies for all to thrive. These are the same qualities that so many of us *innately* possess, and get to cultivate, to balance out and "save," if you will. like a good book... You can listen many times and learn something new each visit. There's something special in the energy there, as it keeps showing us what we need to see. My favorite takeaway from this interview, and one that I hope you'll hold near and dear as you go about your week, is this: "The most powerful woman in the room is the one with the biggest heart." ~ Sarah Durham Wilson. The heart may not literally be the loudest physical expression in the room but it is definitely *felt* that way in the soul and in the exchange of energy. Indiscernable to the eye and to logic, but *definitely* discernable to the soul.

From Maiden to Mother
Embodied with Elizabeth DiAlto
Episode Description: Sarah Durham Wilson is back on the podcast today and we dove into the journey from Maiden to Mother. It's an archetypal journey - so no matter your age or whether or not you've birthed a human, a lot of what we cover may be relevant for you. We talked about the "initiations of strength" along the way, how in Maiden we take unhealthy risks in creativity and vulnerability, and by Mother we are moving from external validation to internal. Which led us to a beautiful conversation about boundaries and aging, postpartum depression, fear of betraying our own mothers, embodying our souls, becoming more present and finding the gold in seemingly "bad" things. Enjoy, share and let us know what lands for you!

Ushering The Mother Archetype
Inner Source Alchemy with Capri
Episode Description: Capri has been following along Sarahs richly insightful and artfully presented life lessons for the greater part of the last decade. Her work first appeared to her in the form of Do It Girl, an online persona that showcased much of her writing - which had a tendency to go viral especially amongst young maiden womxn, like herself. In more recent years, Capri’s awareness of her work was reactivated and on deeper level. Sarah was (the only person, that she could see) teaching about something so near and dear to her current evolution point, basically- the process of healthfully growing out of the more insecure, defensive, outward seeking maiden and into the self assured, inner-sourced “mother”. On a biological level Capri was going through a great transition of becoming an actual mother. But, the importance of Sarah’s work is understanding that this rite of passage (maiden to mother) is not limited to nor automatically activated through the biological change of becoming a mother. It’s the healing work of accepting our aging selves in new (and empowering) ways. It was an honor for Capri that she felt such an immediate “Yes” to want to be on Inner Source Alchemy podcast, and with excitement she share with you these important personal development themes (that can be applied at any age- never too early or too late) and possibly introduces you to some of Sarah Durham Wilson’s work, for the first time.

You can’t keep a good witch down
Relationship-smart women
Episode Description: Sarah Durham Wilson has had her fair share of moments on the bathroom floor, including one years ago that initiated a full kundalini awakening and her spiritual path into Do it girl. At the time of this interview, Sarah was there again, in the dark. Darkness initiated, amongst other things, by the loss of her beloved fur baby and navigating motherhood alone. Sarah doubted whether she could be on a show called Unbreakable whilst feeling so broken, but this is precisely what I love about this episode. She is in it, feeling it all, stripped back to nothing and opening up to us about the experience - the pain, the teachings and the richness. And even there, deep in it, she is able to trust her own unbreakable spirit. As is always the case in any conversation with Sarah, this interview is laced with mythology, mysticism and imagery that brings her words to life and transports us to worlds and possibilities beyond our own. Sarah also shares with us: + How being in the dark does not mean being in agony + The journey of Innana and why stripping back to nothing can be so full of richness + The hard learned lesson that nobody is coming to save us - we have to save ourselves + The epic journey from maiden to mother to crone and where she is at right now + Where she goes to get her guidance in moments of fear - think mystical and magical! + Why she is ready for battle and suited up & how activism is no longer a choice.
