Dear Spin Sisters...

The tables are turned in this episode as Teri Hirss takes the mic and interviews Jayne on her first experience with the ancient plant medicine Ayahuasca. 

In November, Jayne attended four Ayahuasca ceremonies that changed her life.

Jayne and Teri go deeper into the discussion regarding psilocybin recreational and therapeutic uses referencing the current research to make a case for using this plant medicine to help people break out of old patterns and beliefs.

Learn:

• The difference between micro and high dose and why both are beneficial
• Current recommendations based on the research
• Ways to boost the benefits of psilocybin during integration

Jayne and Teri run wellness retreats for women with a variety of needs who want to experience new ways of changing their lives. Their mission is to help women to find meaning and belonging.

Join Jayne as she welcomes back Teri Hirss to continue the conversation about their adventures with plant medicine, specifically psilocybin medicine and why "set and setting" are critical to the journey and the outcome.

During this episode, Jayne and Teri offer an update on the past several weeks researching what's found in the literature and journaling their pre and post-medicine insights.

Join my special guest, Teri Hirss as we venture into our first plant medicine experience. This year's podcast will focus on connection - connecting to the earth through plant medicine and ceremony, connecting to each other at a time on this planet when isolation and collective trauma are common place - and finding like-minded women who know to their core that belonging and finding a mutual purpose will be the answer.

CJ welcomes Roxy back as a guest on the Dear Spin Sisters Podcast. This episode covers a broad range of topics from the celebration of their completion of Nena's Bones, a screenplay based on their book Shut Your Mouth! to some updates made to the podcast for 2022. They discuss the labor shortages seen in healthcare and in education and they offer advice to land on a goal for 2022 and commit to the steps to get there.

This episode is dedicated to the front line, to the nurses who have stood by thousands of patients who died of COVID in 2021.

The host, Jayne Van Brunt, talks about burnout, her fear that nurses are leaving in droves and that healthcare will be devastated. But she also has hope that a massive movement is afoot to turn the face of nursing around.  https://www.burnout.spinsavorsoar.com

2022 will be a defining year in healthcare as nurses decide to stay or to go. Jayne hopes with the help of more than 500K semi retired and retired nurses to empower nurses to speak up and demand change. 

Jayne aka CJ (Calamity Jayne) updates the listeners on the screenplay and tells a funny story about asking for help and learns an important lesson regarding shadow selves. The episode focuses on naming feelings, and that there are more than three emotions, according to Brene Brown (Atlas of the Heart) there are 38?  Jayne also talks about the healthcare crisis and her plan to make a change in 2022. 

On this episode, CJ talks about setting yourself up for a year where your dreams come true by answering a few clarifying questions and by creating a vision board. Jayne also tells the listeners what she's worried about because of the Covid vaccine mandate and why she had a nice birthday despite the worries. CJ will join Roxy later this week to finish the screenplay and to "hopefully" tape an episode!

Jayne Van Brunt aka Calamity Jayne describes her emotions surrounding the recent WA state mandate which has effected her and those around her. The first episode without Roxy is difficult as CJ realizes collaboration is much more fun than going solo.

Jayne discusses resources she has found helpful to navigate her FFTs (see BreneBrown.com for more on that) and why naming emotions has been a breakthrough. These are trying times we all thought would be over by now. If you're a burned out nurse, or you're not sure what to do, Jayne has attached this link for a suggestion. 

CJ & Roxy are back following a break to work on their screenplay. They share exciting news about Roxy and update listeners on their plans to finish out 2021!
