Mindfully Disruptive
unfiltered. unapologetic. unignorable.

Mindfully Disruptive is the podcast for the woman who has outgrown the life she built — and is finally ready to build the one that she has been craving. If you’ve ever whispered to yourself, How did I get here… and why doesn’t my life fit anymore? Who am I now? Why does everything feel different? — pull up a chair, friend. You’re in the right place.

This show is for women moving through midlife — and yes, through perimenopause and menopause — as the initiation it truly is. Not as an ending; as a remembering - a return - a becoming.

Together, we explore the exhaustion beneath the exhaustion: the draining of your energy, the control used in order to feel safe, the ways we continually hand our power away, and the ancestral burdens we continue to carry rent-free in our minds, hearts, and bodies. Through tools like Human Design, Gene Keys, creative art practices, ancestral medicine, divination, and shamanic wisdom, we explore what it means to reclaim your energy, your identity, and your self-leadership. On your own terms. In your own timing. In your own design.

Each week, we dive into Human Design and Gene Keys teachings that help you trust yourself and your own decisions. We explore perimenopause and menopause through the lens of energy and design — especially for non-sacral types who were never meant to run on constant output. We talk about identity shifts, purpose pivots, and the beautiful untangling that always comes before transformation.

We explore life energy healing — what it actually means to restore your energy, not just manage it. We weave in spiritual wisdom, lived experience, and real stories of women consciously transforming their lives and narratives. And we sit down with guest teachers in tarot and divination, psychic mediumship, ancestral medicine, shamanic healing, and other powerful practices most podcasts won’t touch.

Every episode is part teaching, part reflection, part permission slip — with honest conversation, practical tools, and the occasional well-placed f-bomb. Because here’s what I know about this season of life: your spark didn’t disappear. It got tangled in the messiness of a misaligned life. And this — this is how we untangle the knots.

Midlife isn’t the beginning of the end. It’s the best part of life. 

Welcome to Mindfully Disruptive. I’m so glad you’re here.

I’m Patricia — Curandera, Creative Energetics Intuitive, Podcast host, Artist, and Leadership Mentor — and I have walked the walk of the exhaustion beyond the exhaustion myself.

What I share about this work comes from inside of a very lived experience. I have transformed my way through it — through art that cracked me open, through breath that moved what words couldn’t reach, through the slow and honest process of reclaiming my own energy -  one truthful moment at a time.

I was born to speak - to move words through my Leo Moon voice. I lead from the heart because I don’t know any other way. I am here to disrupt — mindfully. And I’ve been waiting for you.

S5: Episode 65 - The Exhaustion Beyond the Exhaustion: When the body Stops Negotiating

ABOUT THIS EPISODE There's the exhaustion everyone can see. And then there's the other one. The one that doesn't lift after a full night's sleep. The one that's been there so long you stopped noticing it. The one living quietly underneath everything you hold, everything you do, everyone you show up for. In this episode Patricia gets personal — raw and unfiltered — about the exhaustion that lives beyond the surface. The kind that doesn't come from your schedule. The kind that comes from something older. Long-held emotions stored in the body. Survival patterns learned so early they became invisible. Parts of yourself set aside so consistently you forgot they existed. She talks about what it looks like to be highly functional and deeply depleted at the same time — praised for reliability, celebrated for capacity, while something underneath quietly unravels. And she shares her own moment — a panic attack on a highway returning to a teaching job at the Grand Canyon — when her body finally stopped negotiating and insisted something had to change. This episode is for the woman who has been holding it together so well that nobody — including herself — has noticed what it's costing her. WHAT WE COVER — The difference between surface exhaustion and the deeper depletion that rest can't touch — and why they require completely different approaches.— How high-functioning women can be simultaneously praised for their capacity and quietly disappearing inside it.— What a panic attack on a highway taught Patricia about misalignment, fight-or-flight, and what happens when the body stops waiting to be heard.— Why healing this kind of exhaustion requires the body, the breath, and expression — not more strategy, more optimization, or more willpower.— How emotions that never got to finish moving store themselves — and what it takes to finally let them complete. IF THIS EPISODE IS LANDING FOR YOU Start here — download the free PDF and audio: An Inner Softening — Softening into Presence. A quiet first step toward understanding where exhaustion is actually living in your body and life. Ready to go deeper? The Untangling is a 3-session experiential immersion using art, breath, and somatic awareness to find what's been knotted and begin moving through it. Not around it.

S5:Episode 64 - The Ten Year Old CFO

What if your money problem has nothing to do with money?What if it started in a room you haven't gone back to yet — at an age you were never supposed to be carrying what you were carrying — with a voice that told you something about your worth that was never, ever true?In this episode of Mindfully Disruptive, Patricia gets into the money wound that lives below every budget, every abundance affirmation, every financial strategy that works for a while and then somehow doesn't.This is the episode for the woman who works hard, does everything right, and still cannot figure out why the money never quite lands and stays.What You'll Hear in This Episode:Patricia opens with a confession that reframes everything: she became the CFO of her family household at ten years old. Not metaphorically. She was writing checks and balancing the family bank account because her father needed her to hold it.She traces how that one moment compounded across a lifetime and shows how each experience layered onto the original wound, confirming the same belief in new rooms with new people.Patricia then draws the distinction that changes everything for women who are stuck in money cycles despite their intelligence, their work ethic, and their desire to break free.You cannot discipline your way out of a somatic imprint.The pattern is not in the spreadsheet. It is in the body. She explains the protective logic underneath the pattern was never self-destruction. It was a ten year old's brilliant, loving attempt to keep you safe from something that felt absolutely catastrophic.And she shares what she has learned about what it actually takes to change it. Not strategy. Not discipline. Not another framework.Retrieval. The body. Creativity. Coming home.Who This Episode Is For:This episode is for the woman who grew up holding everything together — who became responsible before she was ready, who learned that her needs required justification, who built competence into an art form because competence felt safer than vulnerability.It is for the woman who has tried every money strategy and still finds herself in the same cycle wondering what is wrong with her.Nothing is wrong with her.She has a ten year old running her finances. And that ten year old is doing exactly what she learned to do to keep them both safe.It is also for the woman who recognizes herself in the room — whatever age it was, whatever room it happened in — and is finally ready to go back and get her.Ready to Go Back and Get Her?Your inner child that has been the CFO of your finances for long enough.The Untangling is a focused three session experience designed to go underneath the strategy and find the knot. The room. The age. The nervous system story that has been quietly making decisions on your behalf for longer than you know.Not therapy. Not a twelve week program. Three sessions to find it, name it, and begin to hand her back her childhood while you take back your financial life.Because you have been paying interest on someone else's debt for long enough.Email: patricia@patriciarundblade.com - for more information.If this episode stirred something true within you, share it with a fellow soul on the path.Leave a review to help amplify voices like yours — voices that disrupt, remember, and realign.Let’s stay in sacred conversation:🌿 Instagram: @patricia_rundblade🌿 Facebook: Patricia Rundblade🌿 Email: patricia@patriciarundblade.com🌿 Website: www.patriciarundblade.comMindfully Disruptive is hosted by Patricia Rundblade of The Soulful Lion, LLC — helping women who grew up holding everything together reorganize their nervous systems through creativity so they can lead without force.

S5: Episode 63 - The Wart on my Nose

What does a 4am dream have to do with a 17-year-old pattern you never knew you were carrying?Everything. As it turns out.In this episode of Mindfully Disruptive, Patricia shares one of the most unexpectedly honest conversations she has ever had — with herself, on a morning walk, after a dream cracked open something she had been carrying since long before she had words for it.This is not a tidy episode about healing. It is a real-time excavation of a pattern that was hiding in plain sight. On her nose. Like a wart she somehow never noticed.If you have ever done significant personal work and still felt like something was running quietly underneath all of it — this episode is for you.What You'll Hear in This Episode:Patricia walks through a vivid early morning dream — the kind that comes during deep REM sleep between 3 and 5am when the unconscious is doing its heaviest processing. Expanding circles of blue and green. A mall. Her oldest son watching his father from a distance. And then — her ex-boyfriend, the one who broke her heart deeply, showing up to offer comfort while she stood with a completely puzzled expression on her face.She breaks down what each dream image was doing.Patricia traces the thread and names the pattern underneath all of it for the first time out loud.She explores how this belief quietly shaped her relationships, her nervous system, and the way she received — or didn't receive — comfort, love, and support across decades of her life.Who This Episode Is For:This episode is for the woman who has done the work. Who has been to therapy, read the books, done the journaling — and still feels something running quietly underneath that she cannot quite name.It is for the woman who grew up holding everything together and learned somewhere along the way that love comes with an expiration date she cannot predict.It is for the woman who is standing at a threshold in her own life — career, relationships, identity, midlife — and feels something old trying to surface that is ready, finally, to be seen.Ready to Find Your Own Wart?Most of us are not confused about our lives in general. We are carrying one or two very old, very tangled stories that are quietly running the show.The Untangling is a focused three session experience designed to help you find the knot — the one thing underneath the thing — and begin to loosen it.Not therapy. Not a twelve week program. Three sessions. We find it. We name it. We start to set it down.Because the comfort and the wound arrived together. You don't have to keep carrying them that way.Email: patricia@patriciarundblade.com - for more informationIf this episode stirred something true within you, share it with a fellow soul on the path.Leave a review to help amplify voices like yours — voices that disrupt, remember, and realign.Let’s stay in sacred conversation:Instagram: @patricia_rundblade Facebook: Patricia RundbladeEmail: patricia@patriciarundblade.com Website: www.patriciarundblade.comMindfully Disruptive is hosted by Patricia Rundblade of The Soulful Lion, LLC — helping women who grew up holding everything together reorganize their nervous systems through creativity so they can lead without force.

S5:Episode 62 -Inherited Exhaustion: When Tired Is in Your DNA

What if your exhaustion isn't about your schedule?What if it's older than you?In this episode of Mindfully Disruptive, Patricia gets into something most wellness conversations completely miss — the exhaustion that lives in the body not because of what you did last week, but because of what your lineage survived for generations.This isn't burnout from overcommitment. This is something deeper. Something inherited.What We Cover:The historical roots of women's exhaustion — how centuries of layered oppression, forced labor, displacement, and domestic servitude didn't just shape culture. They shaped nervous systems. And those nervous systems shaped ours.For women of color, Indigenous women, immigrant women, and women from minority communities, this inheritance is not metaphorical. It is encoded. Survival adaptations like hyper-responsibility, overworking, not complaining, and enduring without asking — these were not character flaws. They were life-saving strategies. And they got passed down.Patricia traces how these adaptations show up in the body today — chronic alertness that rest doesn't resolve, pelvic and diaphragm tension, anxiety, autoimmune disruption, hormonal imbalance, and a particular brand of fatigue that eight hours of sleep cannot touch.She also draws a critical distinction that changes everything:Endurance is not vitality. Surviving is not thriving.And she gets honest about her own reckoning — the moment she realized that real leadership isn't about stabilizing everything around her. It's about discernment. About knowing where to place her energy and where to finally, deliberately, stop.The question this episode leaves you with:Where are you still running survival-led energy in situations that no longer require your survival?Because awareness is always where the reclamation begins.Ready to untangle the patterns running underneath your exhaustion?The Untangling is a focused three session experience designed to find the knot beneath the strategy — the nervous system story that has been quietly making decisions on your behalf for longer than you know.Not therapy. Not a program. Just three sessions to find it, name it, and begin to loosen it.Email: patricia@patriciarundblade.com - for more information.If this episode stirred something true within you, share it with a fellow soul on the path.
