Erotic Devotion (formerly home-body podcast)

Reframing productivity is a very January thing to do, yes? How can we release ourselves from the outer forces, inner voices, and productivity gurus driving us toward more-more-more? And when we do choose another path, how do we set up our work so that we actually bring our dreams to life — without getting lost in ambiguity, confusion or overwhelm?

I’m joined by Amelia Hruby, my friend, podcast producer + co-teacher of our upcoming course Living Systems. Together we discuss all things productivity through a feminist, ecology lens; and we share the systems + frameworks that allow us to live more in alignment with our internal rhythms, energetic capacities + ever-changing seasons.

This episode is for anyone who wants to do life, work + business your way, and needs support figuring out what your way really is.🌱

we discuss —

• Creating systems where we can’t help but flourish
• What makes a system alive?
• The difference between productivity culture (boo) + regenerative systems (yay)
• How to identify friction points in your work
• The foundational, resilient, clarifying power of the Earth element
• Why we love Projects + how Projects help us bring our purpose to life
• Projects as manifestation practice

This episode is a meditation for The Fool card in the Tarot Major Arcana by experimental dance artist Hez Stalcup.

Hez is an experimental dance artist. He works with bodies, words, sound and objects. He makes dances. He is usually in them. He makes other things that maybe get seen. Most people think his work is about being queer or about gender, its only sometimes about either. Often he is dancing about time, failure and personhood with people he thinks are smart and funny and should be looked at. He doesn’t make beautiful dances per se, rather he thinks about what makes something outlandish and solitary enough that you want to love it forever.

Fine artist + educator Natalie Eslick joins us to talk about leaving her muggle job and finding enchantment as she pursued her creative practice. We talk about the power of creativity to help us be more resilient in the face of uncertainty and loneliness; and Natalie shares how the wild can keep us from missing out on our one precious life.

Natalie is an Australian fine artist and educator whose work is steeped in connection to nature, rooting into place, and reciprocal relationships with the wild world. Her work evokes compassion, kindness, and connection to the intrinsic magic of nature and the inherent wisdom of Earth’s flora and fauna. Natalie's background in psychology, human rights, and decades of service to her local community lead her to seek an extraordinary life, to cherish moments of peace and connection with trees and wild beings, to encourage curiosity and wonder, and to value compassion and creative beauty as empowering, and worth pursuing.

we discuss —

• How creativity can help us grapple with uncertainty + perfectionism
• How to make more space for creativity by feeding connection (yes, even if your muggle life is so demanding!)
• How Natalie transitioned to a full-time creative career after 30 years of working a “normal” job
• How the wild is our teacher for how we can be and how to not miss out on our life
• Why you deserve enchantment in your life + how to invite more of it

Her new book, HooDoo for Everyone is Hoodoo, updated: history, foundations, spellwork and spiritual guidance made accessible to everyone, inclusive of all backgrounds and genders; it offers everything you need to understand and responsibly practice Hoodoo: rituals, conjure, rootwork, divination, herbs, plants and ancestor work.
