Moving through the Life / Death / Life Cycles of the Creative Process with Rebecca Wilson
The Kinspirit PodcastShow Notes
The power of life lies in our willingness to witness death. Something must die for something new to come to life. What would it look like for you to allow the birth of something new to happen in your life?
In this episode of the Regenerative Mystic Podcast, I speak with Rebecca Wilson, a spiritual midwife with the purpose to support women to birth themselves, their creations, and their legacy. Her first midwife experience was with herself after losing her mom at 19 and not knowing how to navigate the loss of her “home”.
Rebecca’s journey has been that of death and life, loss and gain, grief and love, and the creation cycle, which is why she’s never afraid of speaking about death. We’re born through an expression of creation, and in order to thrive in the cycles of life, we must create to be a part of the source we came from.
“As something dies, something else is born and as something is born, something has to die or shift.”
What lives in your fear of loss? In your fear of death lies your fear of life, it is in being comfortable with death that you become comfortable with life. It is always the moment we say we can’t do it anymore that something inside of us surrenders to something greater than our ego. You have the power to create a new reality, and all you have to do is own that power.
“Underneath all of the fears that we have, is the fear of our own death, and in that, we have the fear of life.”
She explains why you must be willing to allow death to happen for something new to be born into you. Being who you’re truly here to be is the greatest gift you can offer anyone. When you’re unapologetically yourself, you permit others to be themselves.
“To be open to that which wants to pour in, we must be willing to pour out.”
The power of showing up as your authentic self and knowing you’re enough leads to abundance. How your life unfolds for you allows you to be you, and it’s only by being you that you will achieve your power. You need to be yourself for the universe to thrive, and it wouldn’t be the same if you didn’t exist.
Listen in to learn more about the power of showing up as yourself and letting go for new experiences to happen.

Carly Mountain, author of Descent & Rising: Women's Stories and Embodying the Inanna Myth, joins the podcast to discuss the psychospiritual descent to soul and the wildly misunderstood sacred rites of passage that many women secretly experience. She emphasizes the importance of calling this wisdom back into the lives of women and normalizing the nature of both descent and rising as part of the feminine path. Carly explores the concept of sacrifice and the need to let go of certain aspects of ourselves in order to rise and embody our true selves. She also highlights the role of desire and pleasure in the journey of descent and rising, and the importance of compassion for ourselves and others as we navigate these transformative processes.
There's something that happens when we walk through a soul-level initiation: we discover that we may have extrasensory gifts. These gifts don't often feel like "gifts" at first. Sometimes they feel intense, like the veil is a bit thinner than we thought before. If you're like many people, you take to google to try and figure out what's happening to you. Perhaps you have dreams or premonitions about things that haven't happened yet. Perhaps you feel more sensitive to other people and environments. These experience may sound cool and exciting, but they are not always pleasant. They come with a tax to the body. It doesn't always feel pleasant to perceive the mixing of many people's energetic cocktails through your one little body. It's not always fun to wake up from dreams that feel prophetic, but a have a tinge of fear or darkness that we may not feel comfortable holding or working with.
