This episode is suuuuper edgy for me.

I talk about the efforts of Christian fascists to instill a theocracy in the United States.

I talk about the overturning of Roe V. Wade and other rulings by our Supreme Court.

And I educate on the reproductive rhythms of uterus bearing people, how to use that knowledge to protect against pregnancy, and the importance of fighting for the right for medical abortion.  I use words like vagina, cervix, intercourse, etc so listen with discretion if you're kiddos are around and not ready for those conversations. 

Some resources  I mention:

• Honouring Our Cycles by Katie Singer
• Fertility Awareness Method
• Read Your Body app

May all beings be free.

We can all sense that a rot has set in to our modern lives. Something is eroding away our very core. This was acknowledged for me by an elder priest in Ireland.

In this episode, we explore the deepening rot, and begin to wonder how it might be tended as a compost.

I talk about the work of Sophie Strand, which has been integral to my own process of deifiying the rotting, and about her upcoming course Myth and Mycelium, which I am thrilled to be enrolled in.

I would love to hear your thoughts, ideas, hopes, dreams and inspirations around this topic. Drop me a line at [email protected], or find me on IG or FB. Let's dream another story, together.

In this episode, I offer an opening prayer from Richard Rudd to Our Lady to bless our exploration of the call of the Goddess for justice, peace, inclusion, and healing. I also offer a reading of the Celtic Prayer of Approach, which I first heard from my dear friend Ellen Dionna.

Happy Pride Month, and may we all answer the call for justice.

This episode is my feeble attempt at making sense of yet another mass shooting of elementary school students in the United States. 

May we find our way back from the brink, and hold on to one another.

In this episode, set to soothing music, I talk about finding our center in times of extreme turbulence and manufactured division, such as what we are currently experiencing in the US. 

May we all find ways to hold on to our humanity as immense powers are strategically working to inflame, divide, and bait us to violence and hatred. 

May peace and justice prevail.

In this episode we explore the ways that the body remembers and holds our experiences, especially our traumatic experiences, and how we can begin to build trust in our bodies, to come back home to an embodied sense of life, and to find safety in a world that is inherently unsafe.

I mention the books, The Body Keeps the Score and Waking the Tiger, which are both extremely helpful as we gain a deeper understanding and appreciation for this amazing animal that we share our life with. 

As we come back home to live in our bodies, we find that these bodies belong here on this Earth, and it becomes more possible for us to come home to ourselves in an empowered and empowering way.

Being an empath is a gift, but it often arises as a learned skill from a period of trauma. In this episode, we explore the link between trauma and empathy, and ways that we can use our skills as empaths in mature, consenting, adult relationships.
