In this episode of the Regenerative Mystic Podcast, I speak with Paris Woodhull, an illustration artist based in Knoxville, Tennessee. Paris always wanted to become an artist growing up, which she became, and believes that her childhood shaped who she is and all of her perspectives today. Paris as an artist had undercharged herself for years but later discovered the benefits of charging higher, which include high-level clients who trust her as an expert in her field. She explains why you don’t have to undercharge or underprice your creative work just because your mentor is doing so.

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.
