Episode 3: The Threshold with Salua Rivero

In this deeply transformative episode of the Lady Wisdom Podcast, I am are joined by Salua Rivero—an herbalist, womb priestess, and ceremonialist of Serpentine Cycles (IG: @serpentinesalua). Together, we step into the theme of this time, "The Threshold," exploring the profound teachings that come from walking alongside the cycles of Mother Nature—even those of death and transformation.

Salua shares her HERSTORY, rooted in her deep connection with her ancestral lands of Colombia and the sacred plant allies of Coca and Cacao. These plants offer potent medicine for healing, nourishment, and awakening, and they guide us through the many phases of life, death, and rebirth.

In this episode, we also reflect on the current crossroads humanity faces, particularly in the wake of unnatural//natural disasters such as Hurricane Helene, which has impacted our friends and family in Appalachia. As we witness these shifts, Salua offers a sacred lens for understanding how we can hold space for both collective grief and regeneration.

Hello beautiful soul, and welcome to the very first episode of the LadyWisdom Podcast! I’m Clara Moon, and I’m thrilled to embark on this journey with you as we dig deep into the hidden seeds of wisdom in our stories. It feels incredibly auspicious to release this episode under the glow of the super blue moon, marking the beginning of this podcast exploration together.

In this debut, I share a deeply personal narrative of how I’ve been navigating my own path of healing and empowerment, rising from the shadows of patriarchy to embrace my role as a creatrix and matriarch in the making. I dedicate this podcast to all the wise wombyn who have carried ancient wisdom through time. We’ll delve into themes of lack and abundance, the power of community, and the importance of trusting ourselves and our creative process. Join me as we transform the “starving artist” into the “thriving artist” and learn from the sacred teachings of Tulsi, the Queen of Herbs. Thank you for tuning in—I hope this episode nourishes your soul and inspires you to shine your light brightly.

Specials thanks to musical artists: Brittani Phoenix "B Thee Phoenix" & Damiyana Rose for your enchanting soul siren melodies featured in this initial episode.
