This is a full 40-minute conversation, and I invite you to take it in slowly. Make a cup of tea, bring your journal, and let this be your soul-care for the day. It’s not a quick listen, but it is a meaningful one.
The other day, I had a chat with Nicola Fisher—writer, intuitive, sheep whisperer, and the voice behind Sage and Siren and The Essence Map.
What started as a conversation about spirituality and aging turned into something deeper: a real exploration of what it means to own our truth, follow our weird (and sacred) nudges, and reimagine power in the third act of life.
We talked about…
How menopause opens a portal to a new kind of knowing
Why creativity helps us move through chaos
What it means to hold your spiritual life on your own terms
And the beauty of finding your essence, not your old self, but your real self
Nicola also shares her "Essence Map"—a powerful framework for navigating life’s transitions that had me scribbling notes halfway through.
Whether you’re in the middle of change or just feeling the call to live more soulfully, I think you’ll find something here that speaks to your own unfolding.
Tune in, then go make something. The world needs your light.
When you're done watching, be sure to check out Nicola’s podcast. Here’s the link to our conversation there.
