Medicine Stories: How to go from dark depression to deeply rooted - Janet Hill

Be Mythical

This week’s show is with Janet Hill. Janet is a modern day medicine woman, a teacher of ancient ways and a bridge between the worlds.

Janet is deeply attuned to the overwhelming sense of unease that is part of modern life - especially for mothers. Her work is devoted to helping mums make profound changes in their lives by learning how to access support from nature, spirit, and ancestral wisdom.

The Rooted Mother is the name of Janet’s business, but it also describes her philosophy and way of being in the world. Through this work, she guides mothers through a soul journey of deep transformation so they can access deep nourishment to become the mothers they long to be.

Currently, Janet offers her healing work to women on their mothering journey through tarot ceremonies, healings, and individual coaching.

Janet is the co-creator of The Cherished Mother, where Kate and Janet guide women on a devotional healing journey through their wounds, fears and longings to wholeness.

In this show, Janet and Lian explored the profound journey of transformation from a depressed and fearful accountant to adeeply rooted medicine woman, that Janet has undergone over the past four years with Be Mythical.

They discuss the initial fears and darkness Janet faced, particularly surrounding her calling to become a coach and then a shamanic healer, and how, as she began to uncover her patterns, she gained a deeper understanding of herself.

The conversation delves into the impact of significant losses in Janet's life, her understanding of spirituality, her shamanic sickness, and how her wounds have shaped her ability to heal others.

They also touch on the importance of motherhood and the connection to the earth and the elements in healing, emphasising the need for deeper spiritual connections in today's world - for all of us, not just those of here to guide and heal others.

What you’ll learn from this episode:

• Descending into our deepest wounds and facing our fears can lead to profound understanding and healing. The darkness we fear can become our greatest teacher.

• As Janet’s story shows, an echo of the archetype of the Wounder Healer, understanding one's own wounds is often essential for healing others.

• Discovering and embracing our unique path can be the only way to self-gnosis and healing for some of us - as was the case for Janet.
