June 24, 2025 Magical Awakening
Britton and Carolee as they share their incredible transformation from sixth-generation Mormons to world-traveling spiritual seekers. After hitting rock bottom with infidelity and betrayal trauma, they discovered that traditional church healing methods weren't working. A single mushroom ceremony changed everything, opening their eyes to the indoctrination they'd never seen before.

Their story is one of courage, shadow work, and choosing themselves over cultural programming. They sold everything, traveled the world with their four children, and discovered astrology, manifestation, and ritual moon work. From Utah to Bali to Egypt, their 18-month pilgrimage led them to Colorado where they now help others break free from limiting beliefs.

June 23, 2025 Self-Relationship, White Supremacy, and the Myth of Perfection
In this thought-provoking episode of Poison Honey podcast, Christina returns to explore the powerful concept of self-relationship and how it connects to larger systems of oppression. We discuss how being in healthy relationship with ourselves challenges hierarchical structures that demand perfectionism and domination. Christina shares insights about trusting our intuition despite cultural conditioning to override our bodily wisdom, and how white supremacy manifests in our relationships with ourselves and others. We examine how shame cycles prevent authentic healing, the importance of being with imperfection, and why developing self-trust is revolutionary. This conversation weaves together personal healing practices with broader social justice perspectives, revealing how cultivating genuine self-relationship dismantles oppressive systems from the inside out. Whether you're interested in personal growth, social justice, or understanding the connections between individual healing and collective liberation, this episode offers valuable insights.

June 23, 2025 Cults to Unicorns
In this vulnerable episode of Poison Honey podcast, I speak with Christina about her extraordinary journey from growing up in radical religious groups to finding her authentic self. Christina shares her experience of joining a Bible college community that gradually transformed into a cult-like environment, complete with public humiliation rituals and shunning of members who questioned leadership. Christina details her powerful story of slowly reconnecting with her body, intuition, and true self after years of disconnection. We explore how physical practices like hula became gateways to healing, the process of deconstructing faith, and how the question "What if I believe in unicorns?" became a powerful metaphor for challenging imposed belief systems. This conversation touches on spiritual deconstruction, finding freedom from religious trauma, and the importance of creating your own path.

June 23, 2025 Death Positivity
In this episode of Poison Honey podcast, I chat with mental health advocate Mama Foxfire about death positivity - a concept that encourages open discussions about mortality. We explore why society avoids talking about death, how having a death plan empowers us, and why acknowledging our mortality can inspire us to live more fully. Mama Foxfire shares insights from her unique perspective, having grown up with a grandfather who was both a funeral director and preacher. We also discuss the connection between mental health awareness and death positivity, how different cultural celebrations of death can be healing, and practical steps you can take to prepare for end-of-life decisions. This conversation isn't morbid - it's about embracing our full human experience and finding peace with the inevitable.
