Today I am joined by Kelsey Mech! Kelsey (she/her) is a business coach, Registered Clinical Counsellor, writer, and wildly playful and creative human. She is committed to unraveling the myth that we are not enough, and her work focuses on supporting creatives to build businesses that step outside of toxic productivity culture. She devours books, loves nature and wild places, adores her little puppy sidekick, and is proud to call herself a 'good enough human'.

Visit her website here - www.kelseymech.com 

Kelsey and I chat about discovering our wholeness, toxic productivity culture, how to figure out our values vs the values of internalized systems of oppression, how to sit with discomfort, how to nourish our inner child, and more!

This episode was inspired by my research into Teal Swan and the red flags I found there. This episode doesn't dive into the topic of Teal, but rather reflects on what sovereignty in spirituality looks like, as well as potential things to look for in spiritual coaches, therapists, or teachers. 

All the opinions expressed in this episode are my own.

Today I am joined by a beloved podcast regular, Bex! Bex Mui, MEd, is a biracial, first generation, queer, lesbian advocate and equity consultant committed to the work of LGBTQ+ affirmation at the intersections of spirituality and sexuality. A queer witch, energy worker, and spiritual organizer, Bex founded House Of Our Queer, a QTBIPOC-centered spiritual playspace where Bex shares affirmations for the queer and trans community. Bex is thrilled to add “author” to her bio this year with the release of her book, House Of Our Queer: Healing, Reframing, and Reclaiming Your Spiritual Practice.

Bex Mui, M.Ed., takes readers on a winding path through her spiritual journey. Growing up Catholic with Buddhist influences in a small town, the author finds a renewed sense of spirituality as a spiritual organizer, an LGBTQ+ consultant and queer witch. Bex Mui shares her own spiritual practices including energy work, astrology, tarot, ancestor altars, moon rituals, and sacred sexuality, alongside reframed Christian practices and beliefs. The author offers detailed instructions for what you can do to incorporate spirituality into your own life. Throughout the book, Bex aims to help readers reclaim their own spiritual practices, regardless of where they are on their journey.

In this episode, we talked about sacred sexuality, the balance of manifestation and surrendering, creating the spaces we want to see in the world, reclaiming our spirituality, and more!!
