“If You Are Who You Ought to Be, You Will Light a Fire in All the World” — Ancient Wisdom, Healing & Hope with Jenny Dubay

As the year gently comes to a close and we enter the sacred space of Christmas and reflection, this episode of Girlish Gurus is the perfect invitation to pause, breathe, and reconnect with what truly matters.
We are honored to welcome Jenny Dubay—author, speaker, and trauma-informed coach—whose work bridges ancient feminine wisdom with modern-day healing. Jenny writes historical fiction inspired by medieval women mystics, particularly those who lived through chaos, suffering, and spiritual fire… and emerged transformed.
Her latest novel centers on St. Catherine (Caterina) of Siena, a fourteenth-century mystic whose life and words still ignite courage, purpose, and inner authority centuries later. One of Caterina’s most powerful quotes anchors this episode:
“If you are who you ought to be, you will light a fire in all the world.”
As we end the year—and stand on the threshold of a new one—this conversation feels especially meaningful. Christmas invites us into light, hope, and renewal, and Jenny’s work reminds us that even in the darkest times, transformation is possible.
This episode is a beautiful companion for midlife women who are reflecting on the year behind them, healing old wounds, or feeling called to step more fully into who they are becoming.
 
In This Episode, We Explore:
✨ Who St. Catherine (Caterina) of Siena truly was✨ Why the fourteenth century mirrors so much of today’s world✨ What drew Jenny to write about Caterina’s life✨ The depth of research behind the novel—and how long it took✨ How Jenny weaves historical fact with fiction✨ The spiritual and symbolic meaning behind the book’s title✨ Jenny’s favorite quote from St. Catherine of Siena✨ Her favorite character (other than Caterina herself)✨ How Jenny’s trauma-informed coaching influences her writing✨ What she’s working on next
 
Why This Episode Is Perfect for Christmas & Year-End Reflection
Christmas is a season of light, incarnation, and hope—and this conversation gently echoes those themes. St. Catherine lived in a world marked by plague, division, and uncertainty, yet she embodied faith, courage, and purpose. Her story reminds us that light is not the absence of darkness, but the choice to show up fully anyway.
As we close out the year, this episode invites you to reflect on:
Who you’ve been this year
What you’ve walked through
And who you are becoming
It’s a reminder that your life, your voice, and your presence matter—especially now.

Into the Magic Shop: Rewiring the Heart & Brain Through Compassion, Intention, and Healing

💫 Episode Summary:What if the most powerful healing tool wasn’t a prescription or a procedure… but the ability to open your heart?
In this deeply moving episode of Girlish Gurus, we explore the extraordinary true story behind Dr. James R. Doty's book Into the Magic Shop—a memoir that blends neuroscience with soul, and trauma with transcendence.
At just 12 years old, growing up in poverty and chaos, Doty walked into a magic shop looking for tricks… and instead met Ruth, a woman who changed his life forever. What she taught him wasn’t sleight of hand, but the real magic: how to calm his body, quiet his mind, open his heart, and shape his future with clear intention.
These same practices would later carry him through medical school, into the operating room as a world-class neurosurgeon—and, eventually, into a spiritual awakening that reminded him of what really matters.
🎧 In this episode, you’ll:
Follow Doty’s incredible story from pain to purpose
Learn the four life-changing practices Ruth taught him
Experience a full 5-minute guided ritual with us
Discover how science confirms what the heart already knows
Explore how these tools can help you navigate anxiety, transition, and midlife reinvention
This isn’t just a book review—it’s an invitation to remember your own magic. To reclaim the calm within the chaos. To lead with love, not fear. And to know that no matter your past, healing is possible.
Whether you’re in a season of change, grief, growth, or new beginnings… this story will move you. And the practices will meet you exactly where you are.
 
🌱 Gentle Reflection Prompts:
What intention are you carrying into this season of your life?
What might change if you softened your body before reacting?
Where in your week could you give yourself 5 minutes of pure compassion?
