Rewilding Humanity: Plant Medicine, Trauma Healing & Spiritual Awakening

Four years ago at forest school, Krysta met a woman she describes as a "magical forest nymph”. Someone who hunts, tans hides in the old ways, and can build almost anything from birch bark. This week, Lena comes to share her wisdom on the show.

It's a wandering, intimate conversation between two friends who found each other on the land: how ancestral skills get passed down and nearly lost, why birch is "the first tree" and the reason Lena believes she wouldn't be here without it, and how returning to hunting with her father repaired their relationship in ways nothing else could. 
 
 They talk soil and glaciers, woodland caribou and inland rainforest, teaching kids to build fairy houses, and the quiet grief of watching common knowledge slip away, plus a fair amount of Sasquatch.

Underneath the skills is the real thread: reconnection. To land, to lineage, to the parts of ourselves the modern world trained us out of.

I'm back... and not on schedule, because I'm done living by schedules. I came back when I got the call.

This episode is the story of what I've been birthing in the portal: The Oracle, an app that reads your astrology, human design, and gene keys into one thing: A clear map of what you're here to create in this lifetime. I talk about how it came through during continuing hardship, the trip that took me back to a place I lived ten years ago, and the strange medicine of building something tender and human with AI.

I also share the archetype that cracked me open this season - the Creative Rainbow Mother, from Sharon Blackie's If Women Rose Rooted - and why I'm pouring everything into supporting women right now: women who've walked through the fire and are trying to see clearly what they came here to make.

In this episode:

 — Why I stopped doing seasons (and started following the pings)
 — The download that became The Oracle
 — Transmuting through the dark, and what gets born there
 — The Creative Rainbow Mother, and the women I built this for
 — AI as an unexpected ally 

The Oracle is meant to be a community project. If you step into it, I want your feedback. Try it here: https://tinyurl.com/mdjrdckz

If this one landed, share it with a woman who's in the middle of becoming. 🖤

I took a little over a month off releasing episodes because my nervous system has needed rest. And honestly, I’m done pretending we’re meant to live like slaves to the algorithms.

In this season finale, I share a personal update about burnout, integration, and why I’m shifting the format of the podcast moving forward (less pressure, more intention, more truth). I also share what’s changing inside Patreon, why I’m moving toward more solo episodes, and a seed that’s been forming in my field: a future program blending nervous system education + somatic art practices + nature communion + myth rewriting.

Then we drop into a rich conversation with Neale Donald Walsch, the author of the Conversations with God series. We talk about:

• Why we forget God (and why that forgetting may be part of the point)
• “Wakefulness” and how divine messages arrive through everyday life
• Soul agreements vs. fate — and where free will fits in
• Neale's story of meeting his wife (and the unmistakable sign that sealed it)
• Why life is about serving the agenda of the soul, not chasing cultural milestones
• A coming shift in consciousness over the next 25–30 years
• And yes… what Oprah is actually like 😉

In this powerful conversation, Krysta sits down with Alana Joy Newton, former nurse turned psychotherapist and reconnection guide, to explore what it really means to come home to your body after years of disconnection.

Together they dive into illness as initiation, dark nights of the soul, nervous system repair, and how trauma, sensitivity, and spirituality are woven through the human experience.

Alana shares her journey from medical trauma and burnout to finding deep meaning through her diagnosis of Ehlers‑Danlos Syndrome. She offers wisdom on how chronic illness can become a spiritual teacher, why compassion is the foundation of true healing, and what it means to live in alignment with your authentic self.

This episode is a gentle reminder that your body is not broken, it’s speaking.

✨ In this episode we explore:

• Medical trauma and near‑death experiences
• The link between sensitivity, disconnection, and illness
• Chronic illness as a spiritual awakening
• How Western medicine pathologizes what the body is trying to say
• The grief of healing and learning to listen to the body’s “messages”
• The shadow of hustle culture and the nervous system collapse
• The art of reconnection: emotions, sensations, and soul
• How to release identity through “the masks we wear”

In the second UNFILTERED episode of Rewilding Humanity, I press flowers on my studio floor and reflect on the strange intersection between AI, creativity, and being human. As a brand designer and artist, I’ve watched artificial intelligence transform creative industries; saving time, amplifying output, and blurring the line between authenticity and automation.

This is a raw, stream-of-consciousness conversation about creative sovereignty, mental health, and learning to balance technology with nervous system regulation and real-life presence. I share how I use AI in my work (and even for healing), the ethical and emotional edges I’ve noticed, and how to stay grounded as we move deeper into the Age of Aquarius - a time when humanity, art, and algorithms are more intertwined than ever.

If you’ve ever felt both fascinated and unnerved by AI, this episode will speak to your soul.

🎧 Press play for a flower-filled, no-filter conversation about balance, discernment, and what it really means to stay human in a world built by machines.

In this raw and powerful conversation, Alyssa Stefanson joins Krysta to share her incredible story of transformation — from addiction, abuse, and deep ancestral pain to sobriety, somatic healing, and spiritual awakening. 

Together, they explore the archetype of the wounded healer, the shadow of the self-help industry, and how ancestral trauma shapes our nervous systems and relationships. Alyssa opens up about what it truly takes to rebuild after devastation, the role of microdosing and sweat lodges in her recovery, and why slow, consistent healing is the medicine our culture is missing.

Topics Covered in This Episode:

• Alyssa’s origin story: addiction and the long road to sobriety
• Becoming a mother and finding motivation to change
• The rock bottom moment that sparked a profound spiritual awakening
• What most people get wrong about recovery and the 12-step model
• Why trauma work without somatic healing isn’t enough
• Microdosing as a tool for embodiment—not escape
• The sacred role of sweat lodge ceremony and ancestral reverence
• Unpacking the “wounded healer” archetype (and its shadow)
• The problem with hustle culture and the self-help industry
• Choosing slow, devotional healing over performative growth
• What to do when you feel too broken to begin

This episode is a potent reminder that you’re never too far gone — and that your pain can become your greatest offering.
