Wild Soul HOPE

A HOPE Method™ Reflection on Feminine Wisdom, Spiritual Reclamation & Healing Beyond Shame

When the World Misnames You

For centuries, Mary Magdalene was misunderstood. Labeled falsely. Silenced deliberately. Buried beneath a narrative she never wrote. But underneath the distortions lives a woman who embodies the HOPE Method™ in motion — not because she was perfect, but because she chose to remember herself anyway. Her story is not just a Biblical footnote. It is a sacred echo for anyone who’s ever been shamed, misrepresented, dismissed, or spiritually silenced. In reclaiming her name, we learn how to reclaim our energy.

In When the Soul Remember HOPE, I share my most intimate moments of shame and humiliation, that I carried and may still carry to this day.

Now I See It Through Mary’s Eyes: I’ve shared this story before — the ache of being misunderstood. Of being told who I was before I even had a chance to remember it for myself. I was labeled too much. Too emotional. Too spiritual. Too open. Too raw. Too loud. Too soft. And eventually, like so many of us do, I carried those labels like truth. Like shame etched into bone. I tried to become palatable — to be less, to be better, to be good. But shame doesn’t come from who we are. It comes from the world’s inability to receive our wholeness. And when I look back now… I think of her. Mary Magdalene. The woman they tried to silence. The one they called sinner — when really, she was sacred.

The one whose story was rewritten to suit the comfort of men who feared her light. She wasn’t ashamed. They were. And they projected it onto her body, her voice, her presence. Just like they did to me. But Magdalene did not stay small. She walked with Christ. She wept at the tomb. And she became the first to witness resurrection — because the sacred always returns to the ones who are ready to see it. I carry her in my heart now. The woman who held both grief and power.

The woman who reminds me: You do not have to be perfect to be pure. You do not have to be soft to be sacred. And your story is still yours — even if the world tried to erase it. That is the soul of When the Soul Remembers HOPE. Not to cover shame with positivity, but to alchemize it into purpose. To remember that even in the ache — there is divinity. And that reclaiming your voice is a holy act.

Who Was Mary Magdalene?

Mary Magdalene was a close companion of Jesus — not a prostitute, as centuries of patriarchal narrative painted her. Was she Jesus’s wife, most likely or at the very least his faithful feminine companion? What we do know is she was:

• A witness to the resurrection (the first to see him risen)
• A teacher and spiritual initiate
• A healer and embodied mystic
• A symbol of the Divine Feminine, long obscured

Her story was suppressed, edited, rewritten — yet she never disappears. She re-emerges in Gnostic texts, in sacred feminine traditions, and now, in the hearts of women and spiritual seekers ready to reclaim their voice.

The HOPE Method & Mary Magdalene

In many ways, Mary Magdalene is a blueprint for vibrational resurrection.

Mary Magdalene’s Journey	HOPE Method™ Principle
Misnamed, misunderstood, and cast out	Trauma and emotional wounding distort energy
Chose presence, love, and devotion	Choose what is optimal, not familiar
Witnessed death, held grief, stayed near	Stillness, grief integration, sacred witness
Saw the resurrection first and spoke	Reclaiming your voice and energy through truth
Carried sacred knowledge in hidden ways	Living your light even when unseen or dismissed

She is not the fallen woman — she is the risen one.

Trauma, Shame & Energetic Reclamation

So many of us carry the imprints of shame — especially those raised in systems that punished the feminine, silenced emotional expression, or shamed sexuality and intuition. The nervous system contracts. The voice goes quiet. The light dims.

The HOPE Method™ helps reverse this. And Mary Magdalene shows us how: You are not what was done to you. You are not what they said about you. You are what you choose to reclaim.

 Soul Practice: The Magdalene Mirror

Stand in front of a mirror. Place your hand on your heart. Breathe deeply. Whisper: “I reclaim the parts of me the world tried to erase.” Then ask: “What truth am I ready to remember?” Let your soul speak — in silence, in tears, in word, or in light. This is HOPE. This is resurrection. This is vibrational freedom. Take the time to journal your emotions, give yourself freedom from the stories that roam your mind.

Final Reflection: The Risen One Within

Mary Magdalene was not defined by what they called her. She was defined by her willingness to stay — at the cross, at the tomb, and at the dawn of something new. This is what the HOPE Method™ teaches us:

• To stay with ourselves even when others walk away
• To rise from the labels
• To reclaim our story
• To trust that the soul knows its way back to light

HOPE is not a feeling. It is a frequency of remembrance. And Mary Magdalene? She walked that path long before us — so we’d know how to find it again.

Mary Magdalene was never what they said she was. But they said it anyway. And for two thousand years, her name carried a stain that was never hers to bear. Not because of who she was — but because of who she wasn’t allowed to be.

Today, in boardrooms and classrooms, hospitals and courtrooms, on ballots and social media feeds — people are still being mislabeled, diminished, and demonized. Not because of wrongdoing. But because of gender, race, identity, faith, or nonconformity. And far too often, the feminine gets punished for simply existing.

• For leading with intuition instead of aggression
• For feeling deeply instead of numbing
• For taking up space without apology

When we speak of transmuting trauma through the HOPE Method™, we’re not just healing the past. We’re interrupting generational patterns of suppression. We’re saying: You don’t get to name me anymore. You don’t get to decide my story. You don’t get to bury me in a narrative I didn’t write. To carry HOPE is to carry truth. To carry truth is to become dangerous in a world built on illusion. And that, too, is holy.
