Episode 28: Tears at the Threshold - Grief, Surrender & the Courage to Feel

In this deeply tender solo episode, Kenna Brooke shares from inside a real-time moment of grief, surrender and transition.

As she prepares to leave the home she has lived in for the past five years, Kenna speaks through tears about the ache of endings, the tenderness of remembrance, and the courage it takes to feel what is moving through rather than busying, bypassing or waiting until the emotion has passed.

This episode unfolds in the days before a major life transition — the beginning of Kenna’s surrendered nomadic journey — and alongside the approaching two-year anniversary of her beloved Tashi’s passing. With gardenias blooming again, boxes being packed, belongings being released and an unknown path opening ahead, Kenna reflects on how grief often rises at the threshold of change.

Through stories of letting go, honoring loss, trusting the unknown and following the soul’s call with both feet, this episode is an invitation to let grief become part of the passage — not something to resist, but something to honor as evidence of love, aliveness and the depth of being human.

✨ In this episode, Kenna Brooke explores:

🌀 The grief that can arise during endings, transitions and major life changes

🌀 Leaving a home filled with memory, love, loss and belonging

🌀 The approaching anniversary of Tashi’s passing and the sacred reminder of gardenias

Episode 26: Sacred Compost - Trusting the Fertile Void

In this solo episode of Endless WONDR, Kenna Brooke speaks from the middle of the compost — the sacred, uncomfortable, wildly fertile space where one life is dissolving and another has not yet taken form.

As she prepares to release her home, her belongings and the remaining structures of a former chapter, Kenna reflects on the deeper invitation of the unknown: to stop rushing the rebirth, to soften into the void and to trust that what is breaking down may actually be feeding what is preparing to grow.

This episode is a meditation on surrender, spaciousness and the courage it takes to meet the unformed places of life with presence. Through the rhythm of life, death, compost and rebirth, Kenna invites us to see our own threshold moments not as failures or delays, but as sacred ground — rich with guidance, possibility and WONDR.

✨ In this episode, Kenna Brooke explores:

- The sacred compost between endings and new beginnings

- Why the unknown can feel both terrifying and full of potential

- Releasing what no longer belongs to the next version of your life

- Preparing for a nomadic season of trust, learning and surrender

- Allowing stillness and spaciousness to become places of guidance

- Seeing the future as a wrapped gift from life

- Choosing the unknown as an adventure rather than something to fear

- Trusting that the fertile void is preparing the soil for what comes next

Recorded on the two-year anniversary of Tashi’s passing and just days before she moves away from the home and land they shared, this episode is a living ceremony of grief, remembrance and devotion. From the backyard oasis and the Triple Goddess tree to the scent of gardenias, the scattering of ashes and the sacred pause of vigil, Kenna Brooke reflects on the ways love continues to live beyond the physical form.

Through the story of finding Tashi as a tiny puppy in Thailand, bringing her across the world, sharing twelve years of life together and honoring her final days with presence and song, this episode invites us to remember that grief is not something to bypass. It is love asking to be honored.

Episode 25: Ayahuasca, Integration & the Medicine of Becoming Human Again

In this episode of Endless WONDR, Kenna Brooke sits down with Heather Paulson — a retired functional and integrative oncology physician, plant medicine guide, yoga and meditation teacher, and bridge between modern medicine and ancestral wisdom.

Together, they explore ayahuasca not simply as a psychedelic experience, but as a sacred medicine that works with the whole person: body, mind, nervous system, spirit, trauma, lineage, and soul. Heather shares how her years walking with oncology patients opened the way for her work with ceremony, plant medicine, integration, and the deeper healing that happens when we are invited back into relationship with our own innate capacity to heal.

This conversation moves through the science and sacredness of ayahuasca, the importance of safe and ethical ceremony, the role of community, the wisdom of master plants, and why healing does not end when ceremony is complete — it continues in the choices, practices, and moments of remembrance that follow.

✨ In this episode they explore:

-Heather’s path from integrative oncology into plant medicine work

-Ayahuasca as a whole-person medicine

-The connection between trauma, illness, healing, and the soul

-The physical effects of ayahuasca on the body and nervous system

-Dieta, master plants, and the wider ecosystem of medicine

-Re-humanization, sweetness, and the return to our true essence

Episode 24: Threshold Moments - Trusting Life in the In-Between

In this opening episode of Season 2 of Endless WONDR, Kenna Brooke returns to the mic from inside a very real threshold moment — one shaped by endings, uncertainty, grief, surrender, and the invitation to trust life more deeply.

After a longer-than-expected pause, Kenna shares what is currently unfolding in her life and reflects on the many in-between spaces of being human — the endings before beginnings, the deaths before rebirths, the compost before new life.

This episode is an invitation to meet the unknown differently: to soften instead of collapse, to allow grief and emotion to move through the body, and to recognize threshold moments as portals of transformation rather than interruptions to the path.

Kenna also shares the beginning vision for The Liminal Lounge, a membership and community space for those navigating transition, uncertainty, surrender, reinvention, and the sacred in-between.

✨ In this episode, Kenna explores:

-Why so much of life is lived in threshold moments

-Navigating endings, grief, uncertainty, and change

-The difference between life happening “to you” and life happening “for you”

-Trusting life when the next step has not yet appeared

-How contraction can create space for deeper expansion

-Working with the nervous system through breath, presence, emotion, and sound

-Allowing the in-between to become compost for rebirth

-The beginning vision for The Liminal Lounge

✨ Join The Liminal Lounge

Episode 23: Remembering Hurricane Helene – Composting Loss Into Aliveness and Connection with Heather Laine Talley

It has been one year since Hurricane Helene struck Western North Carolina. In this anniversary episode, Kenna Brooke returns to the story of her dear friend, Heather Laine Talley, who first joined Endless WONDR in Rising Waters – A Journey Through the Storm, the Surrender and the Strength Within.

Together, we reflect on what has unfolded since that conversation — not only Heather’s personal journey, but also the grief, resilience, and creativity alive in the Asheville community. Heather shares how the storm became both devastation and initiation, composting loss into fertile soil for grief, creativity and deeper connection.

This episode begins with a new conversation marking the one-year threshold, followed by a replay of the original episode to honor and remember the story in full.

✨ Key Takeaways from the New Conversation

✨ How grief shifts over time — from survival mode into deeper feeling

✨ The role of creative practice (writing, ritual, soup-making) in metabolizing loss

✨ Reclaiming aliveness through joy, play, and everyday ritual

✨ The freedom found in interdependence and community care

✨ The truth that recovery is uneven — privilege shapes who heals more quickly

Episode 22: A Sacred Pause – Rebirthing Myself at 50 from the Jungle’s Womb

At 50, I find myself at a profound threshold — a midlife awakening that feels less like a crisis and more like a calling. Gaia has summoned me to the jungle’s womb, into deeper rhythms of nature, embodiment and soul. In this episode of Endless WONDR, I share what it means to prepare for a sacred pause: to release the old narratives of who I should be, and to step toward silence, stillness and renewal in Costa Rica.

This is not yet the story of transformation fulfilled — it is the story of listening before leaping, of trusting intention and of midlife as a threshold of rebirth. It is about honoring the body as oracle, the soul as guide and the jungle as sacred womb for what is ready to emerge.

✨ Key Themes:

✨ Midlife awakening as a portal of rebirth

✨ Turning 50 with presence and gratitude

✨ Following the soul’s call to pause and listen

✨ The jungle as womb for rebirth and renewal

✨ Honoring Gaia, the body and the rhythms of nature

✨ Owls as sacred messengers affirming this threshold
