Solstice, Cerridwen, Jiu Jitsu and Wanting What You're Not Ready For
The Slow, Sacred Work of Becoming
We live in a world obsessed with speed.
Faster healing, faster success, faster answers and faster transformation.
But what if the very thing you're trying to rush through is the season shaping you to hold what comes next?
In this Winter Solstice episode, Charlotte weaves together the myth of Cerridwen's cauldron of wisdom, her reflections after leading Solstice Temple, and the unexpected lessons she's learned through three years of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
Together they point to one powerful truth:
Just because you desire something doesn't mean you've become the woman who can hold it.
In this episode, we explore:
- Why so much of our suffering comes from trying to skip ahead
- The difference between desire and readiness
- 3 things we constantly try to rush in life & business
- Why what you want has eligibility criteria
- How comparison is a sign of grief & distrust
- Why the woman who can hold your next level is forged in the very seasons you're trying to escape
- The medicine of a year and a day, and what it means to trust the slow, sacred work of becoming
This episode also includes a guided reflection and journal prompts to help you explore the season you're currently in and what it may be preparing you for.
Journal Prompts
- Where in my life am I confusing desire with readiness?
- What capacity, identity or devotion is this season asking me to develop?
- Where am I grieving that I cannot skip ahead?
- What medicine might this season hold that I cannot yet see?
- If I trusted that nothing was late, how would I show up differently tomorrow?
- What would it look like to keep stirring the cauldron in devotion, even without immediate answers?
The wisdom isn't waiting on the other side of this season, perhaps the wisdom is this season.
A year and a day.
A season at a time.
A spiral at a time.
