In this episode, I welcome Hanna Livingood, an herbalist, sexologist, and transformational doula known as 'The Herbal Hedonist.' Hanna shares her journey from wilderness guide to erotic ecologist, how her work began by cultivating deep connections with nature, and how that exploration led her to specialize in holistic healing and advocacy throughout the sexual wellness space.

Our conversation delves into the quest of ‘wild women’, the interconnection between sex and the spiritual, and reestablishing connection with one's innate 'wildness' through plants, sexuality and the earth.

In this candid conversation, Mark Ireland, the author of 'The Persistence of the Soul,' shares his quest for answers about life after death following his son Brandon's early passing.

Our discussion delves deep into both of our unique mystical experiences, highlighting Mark's personal experience with psychic mediums and spirit visitations, as well as the idea of afterlife communication, reincarnation, and near-death experiences. This was a fascinating conversation for me to explore the potential of consciousness surviving beyond death.

Y'all know I am a believer - but for anyone who may be skeptical of the idea, Mark has an impressive way of presenting compelling scientific evidence, interweaving concepts about the quantum field, and at the same time sharing his profound personal experiences.

Mark's work includes multiple books, studies and articles which can be found on his website: Mark Ireland, Author

He is also a cofounder of "Helping Parents Heal", a non-profit organization dedicated to assisting bereaved parents.

Todays episode features my guest, author Alex Abraham. His incredible memoir, "Trauma and Ecstasy: How Psychedelics Made My Life Worth Living" takes a long, hard look at pain - from the sudden, unexplained pelvic floor discomfort that afflicted him at the end of a trip abroad, to the deeply rooted anxiety and shame of a childhood robbed of innocence.

In this powerful and courageous conversation, Alex takes us through his journey of healing from sexual abuse, while searching for answers to his health issues that traditional medicine failed to explain or treat.

His story offers the hope of real help for healing, from the emotional and physical aftermath of abuse and chronic pain.

This conversation reflects upon the extraordinary journey of my dear friend Tina, from her time growing up on a farm in Missouri, to spreading her wings and seeing the world while working in the male-driven field of military intelligence operations overseas. Tina shares how she spent 25 years in corporate America as a business executive, before fate and destiny intervened, and landed her at an Ayahuasca retreat in Costa Rica in 2022, where she and I met.

Our immediate bond and subsequent adventures together working with Ayahuasca laid the foundation for our deep connection, transforming us into soul sisters who support and learn from each other in various areas of our lives; spiritually, emotionally and even astrologically.

Our conversation leads to an exploration of life before self-realization - and Tina's gradual but remarkable shift towards her spiritual path through plant medicine, breathwork, and letting the universe guide her journey

This episode features my guest Dawn Wiggins, a licensed marriage and family therapist (and Aries moon!) who is passionate about helping divorced women rediscover their true selves. Dawn uses therapies like EMDR, subconscious healing, homeopathy and energy work to help her patients heal from trauma and embark on a path to self-discovery.

She also sheds light on her personal journey and spiritual awakening that came with her own divorce, which led her into creating her popular podcast, 'Dear Divorce Diary.'  

This detailed and engaging discussion covers a range of topics from human design to astrology, healing after divorce, and different attachment styles. Dawn's personable approach to these topics provides a unique blend of expertise and compassion as she shares from her own experiences and approaches to healing.

In this episode, I welcome back my dear friend Dr. Ailish Sheard, aka The Organic Professor, making her second appearance on the show. We dive right into an eye-opening conversation about the alarming ingredients hiding in our food and disrupting our health. We talk about artificial food colors and flavors, the dangers of seed oils, and how they all link to the alarming statistics of obesity among children and adults in America. We chat about GLP-1's like Ozempic, and discuss some surprising benefits that these drugs offer - as well as some serious concerns around their safety and risk for misuse. We talk about the implication of medications like these on women's emotional and physical health, are they helpful or harmful? Are there enough parameters in place in how they are being prescribed, and to who? We chat about what it means to prioritize not just your physical health, but your emotional and spiritual health, as we work towards living the best and most full expressions of ourselves - into our 40's and beyond.

In this episode of 'A Higher Way with Tay', I sit down with Jenny Brown, a prominent figure in the surfing and yoga community here in Charleston. With over 28 years of surfing experience around the world and 22 years of teaching yoga, Jenny's narrative highlights a commitment to living authentically, continually influenced by her family and the forces of nature. We chat about Jenny's foundational years, her spiritual journey in Virginia, and the inception of Shaka Surf School, painting a portrait of a life led by passion and purpose.

With roots in discipline (Capricorn Sun) and spiritual exploration (9th house Moon), Jenny provides insights into both her teaching and parenting philosophies, blending the structured and fluid elements of both surfing and yoga. We talk about her study of tantric sexual arts, and what it truly means to embrace our own sexuality

Our discussion delves into her journey from a traveling surfer to a dedicated mother and surf school founder. Jenny's energy and passion is such a source of inspiration, I know you will love hearing her story just as much as I did. 

In this episode, I welcome back my good friend and expert astrological advisor Dolly, aka The Charleston Astrologer. We talk about what to expect out of the last few months of 2024 (including the astrology around the presidential election), the important transits that are coming in 2025, and how to use astrology to avoid bad Hinge dates. Our conversation highlights the recent solar eclipse in Libra and its implications, specifically focusing on the themes of relationships brought forth by the Aries-Libra axis. We chatted about everything from war & peace, to MomTok and Housewives. I loved recording this one!

In the season 3 premiere of 'A Higher Way with Tay,' host Taylor Taylor interviews Julie McFadden, AKA "Hospice Nurse Julie" - a hospice and palliative care nurse who gained fame through her TikTok channel centered around death and dying. Julie discusses her mission to normalize conversations about what happens when we die, the journey from ICU burnout to becoming a social media sensation, and her bestselling book 'Nothing to Fear.' Taylor and Julie explore the importance of educating the public on end-of-life care and the profound impact of honest, unfiltered discussions about death.
