This episode is a deep, luminous descent into grief, devotion, creative truth, and the sacred mystery of dreaming—with the incomparable Ayesha Ophelia as our guide. Known for her soul-rich transmissions and poetic digital presence through The Girlfriend Manifesto and Society of Wild Hearts, Ayesha brings a kind of wisdom that doesn’t just inspire—it disarms, reveals, and awakens.Ayesha shares the pivotal moment that altered everything: the death of her mother. What followed was a series of initiations that shaped her identity as a dreamkeeper, grief tender, and spiritual provocateur. She speaks to the alchemy of endings, the artistry of unlearning, and how creativity—whether through ritual, writing, or rhythm—has always been her lifeline.We explore her relationship to nighttime dreams as guidance, her belief in the power of symbolic death, and how she cultivates deep daily devotion to keep her creative channel alive. She invites us into the real work of feminine leadership—not through performance, but through embodied presence, apprenticehood, and radical sincerity.This isn’t a surface-level chat. It’s a transmission. A reclamation. A remembering.Episode Breakdown with Timestamps[00:00] — Opening reflections, shapeshifting through creativity, and how inspiration lands[02:44] — Outrage vs. imagination: reclaiming creativity from political division[05:32] — Ayesha’s analog beginnings, collage rituals, and building early community[16:52] — Grief as initiation: the death of her mother and the birth of The New Romantics[29:30] — Devotion as a creative path, the Artist’s Way, and reclaiming feminine expression[37:53] — Dreams as living medicine: lucid messages, visitations, and the dream hotline[47:06] — Unlearning shame, stepping into true identity, and the power of apprenticeshipConnect with AyeshaAyesha’s Website: https://www.ayeshaophelia.com/ Follow Ayesha on Instagram: @ayeshaopheliaBook: The New Romantics — Amazon linkAyesha’s Community — HumanitiesConnect with JennerThe Wild Ones CommunityConnect with Jenner on Instagram: @we.arewildEmail the team: [email protected] Authors and Resources MentionedJulia Cameron — Author of The Artist’s WayClarissa Pinkola Estés — Author of Women Who Run With the WolvesAustin Kleon — Author of Steal Like an ArtistRobert Moss — Author of Active DreamingMartin Prechtel — Author of The Smell of Rain on DustRichard Rudd — Author of The Gene KeysLouise Hay — Author of You Can Heal Your Life
