Embracing the Journey of Starting Over
Manage episode 485138715 series 3668065
In this deeply personal premiere of The re:Membering Podcast, host Martina Rutledge invites you into her story of profound loss, soul transformation, and the sacred art of starting over. After a decade of caregiving for her mother with dementia, Martina found herself standing at the edge of an unfamiliar life—grieving, untethered, and unsure who she was without the role that once defined her.
With wisdom drawn from feminine archetypes, goddess stories, and nature’s rhythms, this episode explores how grief is not an ending but a powerful threshold—a descent that can lead to rebirth. Through vulnerability, storytelling, and spiritual insight, Martina shares how re:membering (gathering the scattered parts of self) becomes a holy act of healing.
If you are navigating loss, life transitions, or a quiet yearning for more, this episode offers a lantern in the dark. It’s an invitation to honor the ruins, welcome the mystery, and trust that your new beginning—however uncertain—is sacred ground.
