85. Discovering the Truth About Mary Magdalene with Meggan Watterson

What if everything you were taught about Mary Magdalene, Christianity, and the divine feminine was deliberately erased from history? In this revelatory episode of Why Isn't Everyone Doing This?, Emily dives deep with Meggan Watterson, Harvard-trained theologian, scholar of the Divine Feminine, and bestselling author of Mary Magdalene Revealed and The Girl Who Baptized Herself. Meggan unveils the buried truths that were literally found in Egyptian caves. Ancient scriptures that reveal a version of Christianity radically different from what survived. These texts show Christ giving Mary Magdalene secret mystical teachings, women in positions of spiritual authority, and a path to the divine that runs through the body, not around it. === ✨ If you’re lit up by this conversation and are ready to live this practice in real time, enrollment for the 2025 cohort of Ziva Magic is officially OPEN!
