In today’s episode we talk to Sarah Jenks, an ordained Priestess whose work is centered around integrating Sacred Feminine wisdom and ceremony into our everyday lives. We loved Sarah’s perspective on the Sacred Feminine, the importance of it now in these changing times, and how normal and healing it feels to reconnect to it.
We talk about:
- Her amazing first 10 years playing in the woods and making potions in nature outside of Boston.
- How life shifted at the age of 10 when Sarah began to attend Weight Watchers and found herself in a restriction-binge eating cycle for 13 years.
- The Dove chocolate moment when Sarah realized she was not well around her relationship to food, and her decision to accept she would be overweight but would have fun anyway – and how this began to break the cycle and led to an emotional eating company she founded and ran until 2017.
- When Sarah first discovered feminine ceremony, and how this completely shifted her path toward studying and becoming a Priestess.
- How the sacred feminine has been deliberately erased in our history and the impact this has had on women.
- Her husband’s response to her announcement that she was “magical” and that she wanted a non-traditional path and non-patriarchal relationship.
- The temple she co-founded with her best friend and the ceremonies she leads every 6 weeks for women in person and online where she helps people “meet their soul”.
Sarah is a teacher, coach, speaker, and guide in the Sacred Feminine space whose work centers on helping women remember their brilliance, reclaim their bodies, heal internalized patriarchy, and reconnect with a more intuitive, cyclical, and authentic way of living. Her work bridges spirituality, embodiment, relationships, leadership, and personal transformation.
Sarah’s own journey included struggles with body image, emotional eating, disconnection from purpose, and feeling flat and exhausted despite external success. Through studying the Sacred Feminine and women’s wisdom traditions, she developed programs and teachings focused on helping women return to themselves rather than becoming someone new.
