With our holiday season approaching, it's good to know where some of these traditions came from, or at least where we can trace them back to.  Today I am talking with a return guest and resident Pagan specialist, Danica Connors.  Danica is going to help us understand Samhain, the rituals that surround it and how it has influenced Halloween and other holidays.  When we look at the religious holidays that we celebrate today, compared to Pagan holidays, we can see what was taken and changed to adapt to the continued religious colonization. In general, this is a great metaphysical conversation.  We also find our way to the concept of re-memebering.  Danica is an amazing resource and her passion shines through in this conversation.

Craniosacral Therapy is a beautiful healing modality utilizing our subtle energies to help us balance our body and mind.  Today, we are talking with Craniosacral Therapist, Hilary to bring a clearer understanding on how this style of healing can help you, or maybe even your children.  Hilary has been practicing CST for close to 12 years and has a deep working knowledge of this practice.  In our conversation we move through the differences between "intense" work and "subtle" work, how to utilize still points and what a touch positive environment may look like.  We also discuss how the verbiage we use during our sessions can effect our clients.  This is a great talk about healing modalities and where we feel life is moving.

Justin is on a mission to share his passion about micro dosing and the combination of super foods that he uses for his company Redwood Mycro.  Justin has designed a micro dosing capsule with psilocybin as well as 3 super foods and 8 non hallucinogenic mushrooms. The results and feedback he has been gaining is astonishing. Today we are going to talk with Justin about how he came up with this specific compound and how he is getting the word out. With more and more "established" institutes like John Hopkins, University of Michigan and the MAPS program verifying what a lot of us have already figured out, and plant medicines being decriminalized around the US, the full spectrum use of these medicines are still being discovered. Join us as we take a journey through the medicinal psychedelic world.

Today I'm sitting with Billboard acclaimed musician and half of musical group Aykanna, Pauline Drossart.  Pauline is joining me to continue our talks about suicide prevention and awareness.  Pauline has a very intimate relationship with this subject, having lost 3 of her family members to suicide.  This is a beautifully explorative conversation revolving around our spiritual ideas and practical applications of practices to help us become more open and vulnerable to one another.  We move through ideas about stepping into your adulthood, the hope and love of the new generation as well as exploring Aykanna's new single "Tear Me Up", that was released on Sept 16th.  I am deeply honored to share space with Pauline and cultivate this conversation of honesty and vulnerability.

Heather is joining me again as we continue our conversations about suicide awareness.  Today we are looking at depression and anxiety, how these 2 conditions can effect our mental constitution and practices that can help us stay aware of our emotional state when we find ourselves there.  With breath work, meditation and a litany of other practices, we can work with our nervous system to help regulate our emotional states.  We live in a world that is surrounded with anxiety, depression and stress triggers.  Knowing this and finding was to manage these states are important to our humanity.

The quote "it's not that the person wants to die, it's that they don't know how to live" is the driver for this conversation.  As we continue our talks about suicide awareness and prevention, I welcome back clinical therapist and my close friend, Chris Pugh.  Today Chris and I are looking at some of the potential societal stressors and triggers that may cause suicidal thoughts or actions and how we can address these concerns.  The statement "I'm fine" comes up a bit today, which I am a guilty of using.  "I'm fine" is a trigger statement and should be explored and elaborated on.  The mind is a beautiful thing.  It loves to think and solve problems.  But when it's our mind that we need to help, can the mind really help the mind, or do we get caught in a loop and drive ourselves deeper into our darkness?  There is help to be had if we are vulnerable enough to ask for it.  Your life is worth living.

September is Suicide Awareness month.  So all of this month, I'll be interviewing people who have a relationship with this subject in some capacity.  We start by talking with Melissa Barasona.  Melissa is passionate about mental health awareness and suicide prevention.  She joins us with a masters in teaching, which gives her front line experience in helping our youth with these subjects.  Part of our goal with todays talk is to normalize conversations around suicide and mental health, as well as to raise awareness that this is a more common thought pattern than we may have believed.  Through our chat today, we look at how we can help in these situation.  Whether we are the parent, friend, sibling or whatever role you play in this situation, there are things we can do to help deescalate the situation, or find the right people who can help.  As Jordan Peterson says, "don't underestimate the hole your absence would leave."  Hold on.  Reach out.  Find help.

From the false narratives that we live to the traumas we have to overcome, we are all healing from something.  Today I'm talking with Gary Naccarato about hypnotherapy and how this modality can help us on our paths.  Hypnotherapy has been used to help overcome addiction, negative behavioral patterns as well as a plethora of other issues that we can face on a daily basis.  I love when the healing that we find works so well that we in turn become the biggest advocate for that modality. Such is the case with Gary and his story.

If you've caught on by now, you may know how much I love a good conversation about yoga!  Today I'm joined by one of the more inventive teachers that I've found over the past few years, Stevi Góngoroa.  Stevi is Co-Founder of a Yoga Teacher Training and inversion group called Authentic Movements.  The way that Stevi and the AM team approach yoga is playful, creative & inventive, which being a yoga teacher myself is something that keeps me coming back to my mat. Today, we talk about what yoga really means to us, on and off the mat.  How we can, or at least try, to find balance with our physical and metaphysical lives, as well as inversions, creative sequencing and how to be playful with your practice.  One of the healthiest things we can do for ourselves is move our bodies.  Thank you to Stevi and Authentic Movements for giving us the more ways to explore our practice and ourselves.
