Nina Turczyn is an amazing silversmith and gallery owner.

Leading up to the opening of her gallery, Nina hit a wall with overwhelm and exhaustion. She never expected to be someone who experienced mental health challenges, but realizes that her experience has given her the opportunity to be a beacon for others.

In this episode, she shares her journey of recovering from burnout and depression - and the powerful lessons she learned along the way.

Autumn Skye is a visionary artist. She believes that the role of the artist is especially crucial at this time and that while the world is at the precipice of momentous change, artworks have the potential to be maps that can help guide humanity forward into new and positive ways of seeing and being. Autumn says, "through creativity we have the opportunity to transmute shadow and pain into visions of healing and wholeness.

In this potent conversation, Autumn shares with Taryn her journey of grief from losing her beloved father, how the creative process can be an amazing tool for healing (and inner child work) and the sacredness of sisterhood.

Bisexuality is one of the most misunderstood expressions within the LGBTQ+ spectrum. Bisexuals or other individuals under the bisexual umbrella  can be thwarted with cruel commentary like, "Why can't you just pick a side," "You must be confused," or "You can't be trusted."

In this episode, Dawn speaks with  Dr Jamie Marich, clinical trauma specialist, trainer, author, openly bisexual woman, and person in long-term recovery.

Dr Jamie Marich shares about her  own experience navigating these oppressive cognitions in her early life and recovery and why this phenomenon of being pulled between two worlds or being made to feel like your identity is not valid can add an extra layer of wounding for bisexuals.

One of the things we love about being in recovery is that we tend not to do a lot of "small talk." Instead, our conversations are "big talk" - deep, expansive and truthful shared experiences.

On this episode, Erin talks with one of her closest friends, Chris Campbell, a woman in long-term recovery. Erin and Chris met on a SHE RECOVERS retreat. The conversation they started on the beautiful rooftop of our Mexico retreat home has continued for three years. In this recording, Erin and Chris share how they are working to break long-established patterns of behavior and what types of powerful decisions come once self-love is established in our lives.
