You're getting our maximum geekiness in today's episode as we explore the synergy and differences between our Human Designs, most specifically focusing on our profiles. With Elisha being a 5/1 and Elizabeth being a 6/2, your Mystical Aunties are built very, VERY differently and we believe this is what makes us an excellent combo and team!

Whether you're a 5/1 or a 6/2 and can directly glean insight into your own makeup through our profile explorations, what we hope to model more than that in this episode is deep trust and honoring of uniqueness, especially in the spaces and places where how we're built is not "societally preferred."

We also hope to show and celebrate the life giving benefits of have council, community, and relationships with people who are different from you because then we can all bring our gifts, and ideally and aspirationally, no one has to be burdened with more than what's theirs to do!

Today, we are joined by another of Elizabeth's dearest friends, Brandi Holmes, and we're getting into living our liberation NOW. Not later and certainly not when we feel or think we're ready, because when really might that be? And also, who cares?

We explore living our liberation now through relationships, community engagement, involvement and organizing, healing, embodiment, boundaries, what we say "yes" and "no" to– how that cultivates trust or distrust (with others and within ourselves), and tuning into our true selves as we shift, age, and evolve. We also discuss the different cultural contexts and lived experiences that inform what liberation looks, feels, and is like in each of our lives.

As always, we hope you can take what we share, put it in your own context, and get whatever gems might be waiting for you as you listen!

We're back for Part 2 of What It Is To Have A Life with some more personal stories from our own journeys of healing, wholeness, liberation, and coming into the lives we live now. We also explore what it was like to be navigating various traumas and sensitivities before really having the language for or understanding of them. What it looked like to navigate coping strategies, countering habits, big emotions, and whether we knew it or not, walk ourselves home to the center within that's always there, waiting to be discovered, nourished, and cultivated.

We also touch on it being FIVE YEARS since the world shut down for the pandemic, how we've dealt with that, and have seen others both dealing and not dealing with it. Finally, we discuss why Elizabeth hates the term "late bloomer" and Elisha loves it! As always… to each their own. Enjoy and let us know what you think!

What is it to have a life? LIFE means different things to different people. Even so, we all have conditioning around expectations and societal preferences and hierarchies when it comes to living a "good life." Today, we begin to unpack this. From how we socialize, how we're driven by passions and interests, how we're built to embody our genuine desires, and how we arrive at what those even are!! This is a fun conversation that we hope will be both illuminating and permission-giving.

Enjoy!

Unless this is your first episode listening to Mystical Aunties, you probably realize by now just how much Elizabeth and Elisha enjoy geeking out on things from every angle and how much weaving and acknowledging the sacredness in everything drives the show. In this episode, they're reflecting on last week's psychedelics and plant medicine chat with Heather Lindemenn, going a bit deeper into their own personal experiences, and looking at some different facets and layers of healing.

From complex trauma, the impacts and unwinding of hypervigilance, and the cyclical nature of healing to engaging with symptoms vs getting to root causes, there's some really fun and nuanced exploration in this one.

Enjoy!

This is a very exciting episode, mystical friends! First, because Elizabeth's dear friend Heather Lindemenn joined us to talk about all things psychedelics and plant medicine, and second, because we're finally up on YouTube. If you prefer to watch rather than listen to episodes, you can now watch on Elizabeth's YouTube channel!

In today's episode, we get into engaging with and regarding plant medicine and psychedelics with the reverence, gravity, and deep care we believe they're meant for. In a time when a lot of folks engage with these things recreationally but call it a "ceremony" or excessively as an escape, rather than a healing technology with sacred roots, it's important to flesh these things out.

Whether you're an experienced journier, new to plant medicine or psychedelics, we hope the range of things we get into here help you to approach the matter and any experiences you choose to have in the future responsibly and with great intention.

We're getting into the Witch Wound today. The Witch Wound is something a lot of coaching and self-help platitudes, concepts, and teachings that fall on the shallower, less nuanced end of things are missing.

The Witch Wound impacts a lot of us and it's the deeper root to why we hide or shrink ourselves (even if you hide in plain sight), play small, fear our gifts and our power, hesitate to put ourselves out there and be visible. And not just in terms of being online or having a platform, but in social settings, in our closest relationships. So many people hide who they really are and what they're really into, what matters most to them, and what makes them feel whole, alive, and closer to "God" because of this wound.

Today we're shining a light on it to help us—yes! We include ourselves in this—do this less. Maybe even stop doing it all together.

It feels weird to say we're so excited to share this conversation about grief with you, but we are because we're both huge believers in the alchemical healing power of grief. From the relationship between grief and anger to the relationship between grief and joy and the difference between grief and sadness, we discuss the many octaves of grieving and everything that opens up in our lives when we allow ourselves to feel this powerful emotion. We talk about why people are afraid of grief, how far-reaching grief is (it's not just for death or break-ups!), and share our own experiences of grieving and how we witness and support people who are grieving.

We hope this one makes you feel really seen, supported, and acknowledged, especially if you're a big, deep feeler who doesn't just grieve for your own life but for the world, too.

Somehow we got through 18 episodes without specifically diving into one of the primary components to both of our bodies of work: EMBODIMENT! So we're diving in this week and leaving it open to revisit many times over since there is just SO MUCH to cover!

In this episode, Elisha jams on some nervous system and neuroscience basics, Elizabeth gets into the mechanics of her Wild Soul Movement practice and what she's always referred to as "getting out of your head and into your body," and we geek out on the importance of integration, and how integrative embodiment work and practice is. We're excited for you to see how whether your approach to embodiment is scientific, mystical, intuitive or a combination of all three, it's not just a "nice to have," it's crucial if you're really focused on healing and liberation. Especially during the crazy times we're living in!

(4:30) Muscle memory, habits, and cognitive function

(8:00) What is Wild Soul Movement and how it works

(11:00) Releasing control through embodiment

(18:30) Why Elizabeth got kicked out of dancing school when she was three

We're living in times where, unfortunately, we have to be way more vigilant about stuff we were able to be more lax about in the past. Today's episode is a timely and important discussion. We talk about spiritual satire, media, and social media: what we're letting get into and influence our consciousness and the deeper impacts of these choices.

Whether it's TV, news, movies, books, or scrolling social media, our choices and discernment about how and what we engage with matter more than some of us would prefer. Listen to us get into how we engage now, have engaged in the past, and the range of considerations we believe sensitive folks, big feelers, and mystics can't afford to be lazy about.
