Sometimes we take a path we didn't expect.

In this episode, I share a deeply personal experience that made me pause, listen to my intuition, and ask some unexpected questions about where I'm going—and what I'm learning along the way.

Maybe not every detour is a mistake.

Maybe some paths have something to teach us.

Join me as we explore wandering, returning, and the possibility that sometimes the answer isn't either/or...

but and.

Balance isn’t a place we arrive,  it’s something we continually notice, adjust, and return to.

As the seasons shift and the days begin to shorten, nature offers us a reminder to pause and take stock. In this episode, we explore the rhythms of balance, the wisdom of letting go, and the space we create when we release what no longer serves us.

Because sometimes, we simply drift.

And sometimes, all we need is a moment to notice—and find our way back.

What if bending isn't a sign of weakness, but a way of staying rooted while moving through change?

In this episode, I explore a message that keeps finding its way back to me: bend like a tree, so you don't break. As I find myself in the "messy middle"—between what has ended and what is beginning—I’m learning to loosen my grip, become comfortable with uncertainty, and trust what is unfolding.

As summer gives way to fall, nature offers us a beautiful reminder that endings and beginnings can happen at the same time.

I'll also share the simple practice of a sit spot—an invitation to slow down, listen, and reconnect.

Where might you need to bend?

What happens when we loosen our grip on the plan and leave a little room for life to unfold?

In this episode, I explore surrender, allowance, synchronicity, and the wisdom of following what feels right in the moment.

A trip to Colorado became an unexpected lesson in letting go of plans and making room for something I never could have planned.

Inspired by the river, an overgrown forest path, Lisa Miller’s The Awakened Brain, and the unexpected connections that appeared along the way, I began to wonder:

What is life trying to show me?

and

What if we lived our lives a little more open by reservation or by chance?

In this episode, I share some wisdom about change, that nature so gently reminded of on a recent walk in the woods when I decided to take some different paths. Come along with me on this journey to hear about the wisdom of the river and the reishi.

In this episode we begin to look at some of the cycles of the earth and how they can help us feel grounded and balanced in our own lives. We also look at a few herbs and mushrooms that can help us connect to the earth element as another way to bring groundedness and balance into our busy lives.

In this episode of Rooted in Wisdom, we talk about the summer solstice, the busyness of summer, and some ways we can find balance and groundedness during this season

In the first episode of Rooted in Wisdom, I share a little about myself, how this podcast came to be, and what I hope to share and learn with you as we reconnect with nature and ourselves.
