Coming to you live from Iceland! In this solo episode, I share what I’ve been learning from the whales, invite you into the harvest season with me, and open the doors to play. 

August is truly the season of harvest, and in this episode, I invite you to really step back and consider what you are harvesting, how it aligns with your visions of the year, and how you can take an honest inventory full of compassion. I share how the harvest season is unfolding in my life, which has brought me to Iceland, and what I’ve learned from the year’s many ups and downs. 

I share what I’ve discovered through honoring whales alongside the Sonar Summit in Iceland and the parallels between honoring the feminine and any other group or body that has consistently had its agency taken away from it, not unlike midwives in the birthing space. I am a passionate advocate for the release of whales from captivity worldwide and hope the empathy we collectively share for animals can extend to each other. 

August is truly the perfect time to fearlessly check in to everything we’re in relationship with as a way of forwarding momentum and rewriting our mother codes.
