Deconstruction and Empowerment of Women as Witches with Laura Yates
There's something deliciously powerful about a woman who reclaims her magic, embraces her wild, witchy soul, and builds a business that honors who she truly is.   In this episode, I'm joined by Laura Yates, founder of The Hummingbird Life, cacao ceremonialist, retreat facilitator, and Andean-initiated medicine woman. Laura is devoted to helping women remember the witch within and reconnect with the ancient wisdom of the Divine Feminine.   We have a juicy conversation about ceremonial cacao, the magic of living in rhythm with Mama Earth, and what happens when we reclaim the word witch as a source of wisdom and power. And, of course, we bring it back to business. Because when you honor your natural rhythms and trust the wisdom of your body, you begin creating a business that flows with your energy, supports your desires, and gives you space to live a truly magical life.   Episode Highlights   06:49: What makes cacao ceremonial Ceremonial cacao is approached with care for its origins, the land, and the people who grow it. Its bitterness is embraced as part of its character, rather than masked with sweetness.   10:01: Preparing cacao and holding ceremony Ceremony preparation can include focused time, dance, song, and intentions for the people gathering. The care and energy brought to the process can shape the experience.   11:13: Planning work around cyclical energy Tracking menstrual phases can help guide scheduling, from placing events in more outward-facing periods to making room for rest and personal ceremony. The approach is adaptable rather than a rigid calendar formula.   14:37: Finding seasons and rest in everyday life Seasonal gatherings can help create space for reflection even in places without dramatic seasonal changes. The moon and nature offer useful reference points, while personal experience remains the guide.   18:29: Reclaiming the word “witch” Witch is framed as a woman standing in her power and honoring her connection to nature and spirituality. Reclaiming the word can challenge shame and recognize the wisdom of women who were historically marginalized.   25:02: Practices and gatherings for listeners A guided self-holding practice offers ways to feel grounded and choose how much energy to give or receive.     Mentioned   A guided audio and booklet on "Holding space for yourself": A simple ritual that becomes your daily anchor, strengthening your energy, boosting your resilience, and deepening your connection to the natural world.   https://the-hummingbird-life.com/how-to-hold-space-for-yourself-in-3-easy-steps     Connect with Laura Yates   Website: https://the-hummingbird-life.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thehummingbirdlife/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thehummingbirdlife LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/laura-yates-hummingbird/   Connect with Julie Foucht   Membership:  https://juliefoucht.com/wealthywitchway/ Website: https://juliefoucht.com/ Quiz: https://bit.ly/witchpreneur-quiz Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/artoffemininebusiness/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/JulieFouchtCoaching/ Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/FeminineMarketingMagic/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@JulieFoucht LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/coachjulz/ Podcast: The Art of Feminine Business with Julie Foucht at https://juliefoucht.com/podcast/
