  <description><![CDATA[<p><em>Of the Wild and Sacred</em> is a podcast for women 40+ moving through the messy middle of midlife—where hormones are shifting, identities are unraveling, and something deeper is calling.</p><p>Hosted by Sonia Auld, Ayurvedic Practitioner and Tantra-informed embodiment mentor, and sacred rhythm teacher, this podcast explores the emotional, physical, and spiritual transitions that happen when you're no longer who you were… but not yet sure who you’re becoming.</p><p>Through Ayurveda, Tantra, sacred rituals, Kundalini-inspired practices, and intuitive feminine wisdom, each episode offers grounded insights and gentle guidance to help you:</p><ul><li>Reclaim your energy, rhythm, and nervous system</li><li>Feel safe and sensual in your changing body</li><li>Honor your truth without needing to rush your process</li><li>Create a life that reflects the woman you’re becoming</li></ul><p>Not about fixing yourself. This is where we move from healing to wholeness.—where you learn to live from the inside out.</p><p>Welcome to <em>Of the Wild and Sacred</em>—where the midlife unraveling becomes the path to wise womanhood.</p>]]></description>
