This impromptu episode happened organically, and I’m so grateful it did.

After listening to a deeply personal recording between Emily and I, my producer Tracey had an emotional reaction—and an epiphany. She realized that in her 40 + years of life, she had never told her friends she wasn’t okay. She had never asked for help. Always the cheerleader. Always the strong one.

So I invited her to drop in and let the circle hold her for a change.

This is what we mean when we say the circle continues. When one brave voice ripples into another. When the one holding space is invited to receive.

In this episode, Dre is joined by actress, writer, and sacred space-holder Jane Sibbett, for a powerful conversation on goddess circles, grief rituals, and the unexpected ways our gifts awaken.

Jane shares the story of how she was first called to host a goddess circle as a new mom, with no idea what it meant but an undeniable “yes” in her bones. That night changed her life. Since then, she’s been devoted to circling, witnessing, and channeling healing through what she now calls “Dancing Hands”—a divine energy transmission that flows through her hands like a prayer in motion.

Together, Dre and Jane explore the witch wound, the healing power of women’s voices, and what happens when we stop performing and start simply being. They talk about grief, ego, trust, miracles, and the moment Jane was lovingly told: “Drop the script.”

Whether you’re curious about the origins of circling, walking through loss, or wondering how your gifts want to be used—this episode will stir something deep in your spirit.

Mother Love: Reimagining The Mother Story with Dre & Em

In this special Mother’s Day episode, Dre and Em open a heartfelt, honest conversation about what it means to mother—not just as a parent, but as a presence. Together they explore the idea of mothering as a verb—a way of loving, nurturing, guiding, and holding space that lives in many forms and many people.

This episode invites us to expand the definition of motherhood to honor all the ways we’ve been mothered—by our friends, our mentors, our sisters, and Mother Earth herself. Whether you’ve birthed a child, held a friend through heartbreak, or simply offered unwavering care, this one’s for you.

It is a call to celebrate the feminine force that keeps us all connected.

Topics include:

— Reframing Mother’s Day to include more stories

— How women mother each other across friendship, work, and ritual

— Letting go of the “parenthood prerequisite” for wisdom and love

— Honoring Mother Earth as our shared ancestral thread

— Expanding what it means to be whole, loving, and enough

Join us as we celebrate all the mothers, and all who mother.
