Reclamation

What do you do when the ancestors interrupt the recording, and you can’t even unmute yourself to say hello?

Kelsey sits down with Michelle Cassandra Johnson, teacher, spiritual director, intuitive, and author of Skill in Action, The Wisdom of the Hive, and her latest book, You Are Protected: Invoking Spiritual Support to Sustain Your Energy. They recorded on November 1st, right at the threshold of Samhain, when the veil was thin. The ancestors showed up in unexpected ways, with a visit from Michelle’s grandmother, Dorothy, who showed us all what it’s like to receive signs and communication from spirit.

Michelle opens the way she opens everything, grounding in the land, the season, and her lineage. From there she talks about why she has never fit into one box (yoga teacher, social worker, racial equity educator, sound healer, spiritual companion) and how heron energy taught her that trying many things can be a skillful path, not a scattered one. She shares what honeybees have taught her about collective care, rest, and moving between realms, and what it was like to write You Are Protected with co-writers who included ancestors, bees, and a fox that showed up on the very day she planned to write about animal energy.

The conversation also goes into practical territory around working with ancestors. Michelle explains why she calls in “healthy and well” ancestors and benevolent beings, how she knew when it was safe to welcome her father’s energy back through a wind chime, and why a feather on the ground can be a message. Then Kelsey follows a download and invites Michelle into a live practice: each of them writes animal messages separately, and they read them back and forth to see what story weaves together.

Here you’ll learn:

• Why Michelle believes a non-linear path with many callings is a feature of a life, and what heron medicine says about strategy that is rooted in deep listening
• What honeybees teach about collective wellbeing, rest, protection, and moving between realms, and why they are considered psychopomps
• How Michelle wrote You Are Protected with ancestors, animals, and archetypes as co-writers, and why she invites you to play with reverence instead of searching for the one right way
• Why she calls on “healthy and well” ancestors and benevolent beings, and how to give yourself and your ancestors room to change over time
• How ancestors can communicate through feathers, wind chimes, dreams, electricity, and subtle shifts in your energy, and what to do when the signs aren’t direct
• The difference between expansion and contraction, what Michael Meade’s teaching has to do with it, and the yoga adjustment story that shows how quickly the body can discover what’s possible
• What the Cassandra archetype reveals about speaking what you know and not being believed, and why Michelle sees everyone as carrying that capacity
• What reclamation means to Michelle: reconnection, weaving, and a groundedness that uncertainty can’t touch

You were never missing the ability to connect. It may have been muted, silenced, or feared, but it has always been there, and you get to decide how you return to it.

This episode is like a choose your own fairytale, an intuitive and creative moment of meandering tale, myth, and spirit speaking through the text.

Join me as I randomly choose three books and an oracle deck, flip through the pages of each until I hear stop, and then read the sections I was directed to, all of which intertwine to create a powerful story.

I recorded this on Samhain and asked my spirit team to speak through the books, through the text, through history, myth, and lore.

If you've been looking for something a little different, creative, grounded, and mystical, then join me for this conversation that inspires and delights.

I leave this episode with awe and wonder, delighting in how we communicate with the spirit world, with stories of the past and texts of the mystical.

What happens when everything falls apart at once and you decide to build something anyway?

Kelsey sits down with Coraley Letcher, host of Blood Moon Radio and founder of a creative content studio, for a conversation that is grounded, honest, and quietly radical. Coraley’s path to this work didn’t begin with a clear vision. It began with a dark night of the soul so deep that getting through the day felt like an achievement. Divorce. Layoff. Loss. And in the middle of all of it, a nudge she had been sitting on for years: start the podcast.

What followed was a woman taking the biggest risk of her life with the least amount of certainty she had ever had. And finding out on the other side that the breaking open was exactly what gave her the confidence to begin.

This conversation moves through toxic positivity in spiritual spaces as a form of control, why high vibration culture can actually prevent real healing, what it means to hold multiple truths that don’t make logical sense at the same time, the long road back to trusting your intuition after abusive relationships and PTSD, and why reclaiming your voice is not a small act but one of the most foundational things any of us can do.

Here you’ll learn:

• How Coraley built Blood Moon Radio in the middle of a breakdown — jobless, mid-divorce, raising three children — and why that was actually the moment she finally believed in herself
• Why toxic positivity and high vibration culture can be as silencing as any patriarchal force, and how it shows up even in our closest friendships
• What the spiral path is, why healing is not linear, and how coming back around to old wounds with new understanding is not failure but growth
• How to hold truths that contradict each other and why learning to do that may be one of the most important skills available to us right now
• The story of knowing her boyfriend had been in a car accident before anyone told her and what that moment confirmed about intuition that no one could take back
• What it looks like to trust your gut about a business direction even when the podcasting world tells you to niche down and yet your whole vision depends on connection across categories

You have known things you couldn’t explain. You have felt things before they happened. You have silenced that voice to be polite, to be good, to keep the peace. This conversation is the reminder that your intuition was always speaking with you, you were just taught not to listen.

This episode is a celebration and a transmission. It is me pulling back the curtain on the journey, the wobbling, the moments I wondered if any of this would ever make sense, and what finally clicked when I stopped outsourcing my authority to other people’s timelines and started trusting my own. It’s also an invitation — to you, the person with the dream that hasn’t started yet, the one who thinks they have no audience, no platform, nowhere to begin.

Here you’ll learn:

• What it actually looked like to build this podcast from wired headphones and Substack essays to a studio, 60 countries, and a growing community
• Why the first time someone said “this changed my life” became the reason that will forever drive this work
• What inhabited authority actually means and how learning to live inside your own—instead of handing it to outcomes, opinions, and outside validation…changes everything
• Why visibility is one of the most reliable teachers of self-trust, and how the wobbling of episodes one through thirty shaped everything that came after
• Why your dream is allowed to evolve alongside you, and how the opportunities that show up are often ones you never thought to dream in the first place
• What the Reclaim experience is, and where Reclamation is headed in this next season

You are not behind. You are not too late. You are not too quiet or too niche or too early. The people who were meant to find this found it. And wherever you are in your own version of this—one episode in, one post in, one conversation in—the compounding effect of your magic is already underway.

Thank you for being here. A hundred times over, thank you.

What happens when the woman who used to count down the steps until she had to read aloud in class is now the one holding the mic for hundreds of women?

Kelsey sits down with Madeline Sargent — podcast host of She Says It and founder of Madly Creative, a creative studio helping women find their voice through branding and storytelling — for a conversation that is warm, real, and full of unexpected magic. Madeline's path into this work didn't start with a grand vision. It started with a hiking group in Seattle, a woman named Bethany, a six-week intuitive healing program, and a message that dropped in during a meditation so clearly it made her cry.

She says it.

From there, a one-way ticket to Portugal after a hard season with family, a Kindred Spirit statue in Cork that brought her to tears connecting her Choctaw and Irish ancestors, and eventually a full rebrand of her best friend's Jewish bakery — all of it wove together into a woman who is building something genuinely her own.

This conversation also holds one of the most delightful moments in Reclamation history. Kelsey creates a new intuitive practice live on the mic: spiritual mad libs. She and Madeline each write three sentences, splice them together without knowing what the other wrote, and what comes through will stop you mid-listen.

Here you'll learn:

• How a message dropped in for Madeline during a meditation and launched She Says It — and what it felt like to hear it for the first time
• Why finding your voice is not a destination but an ever-evolving process, and how Madeline has learned to trust that
• The astrocartography discovery that confirmed what Seattle has always been for her — and why we carry our energy with us wherever we go
• How she helped her best friend of ten years rebrand her Jewish bakery simply by reflecting back who she already was
• What Madeline says to the woman who thinks someone is already doing what she wants to do
• The no-pressure approach that actually created more movement in her business than the hustle ever did
• The spiritual mad libs transmission Kelsey and Madeline channel live — a message that lands like it was meant for whoever is listening

You can do it. Say it and speak it. The right people are listening. And if you feel doubt, that's okay. It's part of the process of learning what matters most to you.

What happens when everything you built falls apart at once — and the only instruction you receive is get up, you took an oath?

Kelsey sits down with Ilana Brown — spiritual mentor, shamanic bodywork practitioner, and torch bearer of Filipino healing arts — for one of the most dynamic, layered, and quietly groundbreaking conversations. Ilana is first generation Filipino-American and Jewish, a former corporate brand strategist who once predicted the back-to-land and indigenous resurgence movements in a company meeting in 2016 and was told none of it was real. She was right about all of it. And now she is living proof of exactly what she saw coming.

Her path moved through living in Brazil, an exorcism in Cuba, building a centropic agriculture farm in Southern California, initiations in the Philippines, a marriage unraveling, a ceremonial knee injury that put her flat on her back for a year, and eventually a calling to work with the leaders, founders, and community stewards who are holding the most so she can light their torch so they can go light others.

What Ilana brings to this conversation is a specific and rare kind of authority. She has been in the dark places — not as a concept but as a lived reality — and she came out the other side not polished or bypassed but genuinely, quietly unfuckwithable.

Here you'll learn:

• What centropic agriculture taught Ilana about the nature of collapse and why entropy is not the enemy of growth but the condition of it
• The warrior archetype in its three states — wounded, collapsed, and embodied — and what it actually looks like to move from one to the next
• Why Ilana defines her mission as teaching people to move at the pace of nature — and what that means in a world running on cortisol and false time
• What Filipino shamanic bodywork actually is, why it was historically held by warrior healers, and the duality principle at its core: if I can take life, I must be able to give it
• How she redefines exorcism as subconscious beliefs that have gotten loud — whispers we refused to face until they felt like something outside of us
• Why being the thermostat instead of the thermometer is the actual work — and how Ilana got there after years of being both
• What the modern matriarch archetype looks like and why Ilana believes she might be building a category that didn't fully exist yet
• How she knows she is working with the right people: the leaders, the stewards, the spaceholders who need their torch lit so the web can spread

There is a version of this work that happens when the floor disappears. When the marriage ends, the farm is gone, and you're on your knees — not in defeat but in the kind of surrender that finally cracks something open. Ilana has been there. And what she carries now is not the energy of someone who survived it. It is the energy of someone who was forged by it.

This is one of those episodes that came through in real time, mid-task, because something needed to be said — not from a planned outline, but from the middle of what I'm actually living right now. And I think that's exactly why it needed to happen.

What I share in this episode is something so many of us are walking through right now: the collective dismantling that's moving faster than most of us have words for. The feeling of standing at the edge of something and not being able to see what's on the other side. The way we keep reaching for one more teaching, one more class, one more reading — because if we just learn a little bit more, maybe then we'll be ready.

Here's what I know: at some point, the knowledge has to move through you. And the thing that's been stopping it isn't a lack of information. It's a fear of your own power.

I also talk about VeilFall — the four-day immersive retreat in the mountains of Montana I'm co-hosting this October — and how it came to life as part of this very process. Because some transformations need a container bigger than the one we can build alone.

Here you'll learn:

• Why spiritual perfectionism is just people-pleasing wearing a different costume — and how I caught myself living that in real time
• What the collective dismantling actually feels like from the inside, and why so many of us are experiencing it at record speed right now
• The moment I realized I was afraid of my own creative life force, and what shifted when I finally named it
• Why filling yourself with more information stops working — and what it actually means to let what you've learned move through you
• How community amplifies transformation in a way solo work simply cannot, and what it means to walk into a container that holds you completely
• What I believe this season is asking of all of us — and why freedom is the word underneath all of it

You are the bridge. Not the teachings you've gathered, not the next healer you're waiting to see, not the retreat you're still talking yourself out of. Your voice, your energy, your trust in yourself — that is what creates the path. And the stone appears when you step.

What if the anxiety you've been carrying your whole life isn't yours? And what if there's a completely different way to meditate, one that actually works for the way your brain is wired?

Kelsey is joined by Ravelle Montoura — clairvoyant healer, somatic coach, meditation teacher, and creator of the Halosoma method — for a conversation that goes deep into energy, embodiment, and the very specific kind of freedom that comes from finally learning the language of your own body. Ravelle's path here wound through a Montessori childhood, public school struggle, years of therapy, a wildly successful tech sales career that left her feeling completely hollow, and a friend's casual invitation to a psychic school that changed everything.

What she found inside that school was not just clairvoyance, it was the first nervous system framework her neurodivergent brain could actually work with. And that discovery became the foundation of Halosoma, a methodology she developed to help people come back to wholeness through every layer of their consciousness: spiritual, energetic, psychic, mental, emotional, physical.

This conversation is rich with practical teaching. Ravelle shares her three non-negotiable starting practices for anyone beginning this work, the crucial difference between non-attachment and detachment, why regulation has nothing to do with being calm all the time, and why a client's body always knows whether or not they are safe with the person holding space for them.

Here you'll learn:

• Why anxiety is a reliable signal that you are holding energy that isn't yours and what to do about it
• Ravelle's three foundational energy practices: grounding, protection, and calling your energy back — and how to make them work for your specific nervous system
• The Halosoma method: what it is, how it was developed, and why it works so differently from traditional meditation for neurodivergent people
• What the spaceship and control panel metaphor actually means, and why having a structure inside your consciousness changes everything
• The difference between non-attachment and detachment, and why one keeps you present and the other shuts you out
• Why nervous system regulation is not about being peaceful all the time, and how shortening the return to baseline is the real goal
• Why bodies are psychic — and what it means for healers and facilitators to understand that their clients' bodies know whether or not they are safe
• What longevity in healing work actually requires, including why boundaries and orienting to joy are not optional
• How Ravelle works with people one on one, what sessions look like, and what she is building next with her upcoming facilitator training

The woman who has spent years trying to fix herself, only to still feel like an imposter in her own body, will hear herself in this conversation. What Ravelle offers is not another program to complete or a level to achieve. It is a return to the only authority that has ever actually known you — your own body, your own consciousness, your own unique way of being in the world. There is no wrong way.

What if the part of you that's been hardest to trust is actually the part that was most dangerous to those in power?

Kelsey sits down with Eileen March—midwife turned energy healer, spiritual coach, and self-described witch—for one of the most grounded and historically rich conversations on Reclamation. Eileen's journey began in a marriage that left no room for magic, moved through COVID burnout as a frontline essential worker, and cracked open through a life coaching program she signed up for just to have something to do on her days off. What she found on the other side of all of that was a path back to the land, to her Celtic ancestry, to the Wheel of the Year.

This conversation covers real history and real healing. Eileen walks us through the witch trials with care and context, explaining why the wounds they left didn't stay in the past — they live in the way women distrust each other, the way we silence ourselves before anyone can silence us, and the way good girl conditioning runs so deep we forget it's even there. She also offers something rarer: a way back in that doesn't require a cauldron or a spell book. Just curiosity, a cup of tea, and permission to start where you are.

Here you'll learn:

• How Eileen went from self-described atheist to midwife to witch—and why the path wound through burnout, a life coaching program, and a spring equinox she couldn't stop thinking about
• What the word witch actually means before the patriarchy got hold of it and why reclaiming it is part of healing something much older than any of us
• The real history of the witch trials, how they were designed to break social cohesion among women, and why anyone with European ancestry is carrying that wound in their body right now
• What the sister wound is, how it shows up in the way women relate to each other today, and why competition between women was literally a survival strategy
• How good girl syndrome and the habit of saying "I don't know" when asked what we want are direct legacies of centuries of women being silenced
• The Wheel of the Year as a path back to the land and seasonal wisdom — and how even the simplest observation of it can start to shift something
• Simple everyday practices that are already witchcraft: stirring intentions into your morning tea, standing barefoot in the grass, finding the magic in the moments that are already happening
• Why you don't have to add anything to your day to re-enchant your life—and what micro rituals actually look like in a full, busy, very human life
• How the hysteria narrative is still running today, just with different language

The woman listening to this has probably already felt the pull toward the land, the seasons, and something older than the world she was handed. This conversation gives that pull a name, a history, and a very gentle door to walk through.

What if everything you've been through was chosen by your soul, and your pain has been preparing you for exactly this moment?

Kelsey sits down with Nimesh Radia — Akashic Records reader, spiritual mentor, and host of the Spiritual Journey podcast — for a conversation that opens with a grounding and holds you in the energy of love throughout. Nimesh's story begins in Uganda, where at three years old his family was expelled and became refugees in the UK. It moves through a corporate career, a friend's dark magic that brought it all crashing down, a fire ceremony in India, and the mentor who changed everything — Sidra Jaffrey — who passed away in a fire at 38 and became his most powerful spiritual guide.

What Nimesh brings to this conversation is a quality that is genuinely rare: the ability to hold the biggest, most painful topics in life with complete warmth. He talks about grief as one of the most powerful expanders available to us, the void we are all collectively sitting in right now between the old world and the new, and why your soul has been waiting lifetimes for exactly this phase.

He also shares three simple practices he gives every single person he works with — and one of them you can start in the next ten minutes.

Here you'll learn:

• The full story of Nimesh's journey from Uganda refugee to corporate director to Akashic Records reader — including the dark magic, the fire ceremony, and the soul contract that started it all
• How his mentor Sidra passed from this realm and became an even more present spiritual guide, pushing him harder from the other side than she ever did as a human
• Why grief is one of the most powerful spiritual expanders we have — and how to change the question from "why is this happening to me?" to "how is this serving me?"
• What the Akashic Records actually are, how Nimesh accesses them, and what the most common themes are in the readings he is doing right now
• Why we are all collectively in a void between an old life that no longer fits and a new one that hasn't fully formed yet — and what the soul already knows about this phase
• The three simple practices Nimesh recommends to everyone: ten minutes of silence, mirror work, and intentional journaling that creates what he calls "magic moments"
• Why your purpose doesn't need to be one thing — and what Nimesh uses as his own guiding purpose every single day
• How to work with your ego rather than fight it, including giving it a funny name and taking it along for the ride

You are not broken. You are not behind. You are a soul who chose a challenging existence because your soul is powerful enough to handle it — and because what you are releasing and becoming is preparing you for something that requires exactly this version of you.
