Soul Over the Bones

It's officially autumn! The past couple of episodes have lead us to this point, and I've been considering how a year is symbolic of an entire life. Join me for a meaning-filled perspective on journeying through the seasons, finding poetry that fuels our creative endeavors.

Year of the Witch by Temperance Alden

A close friend of mine shared an anecdote in which she was negatively labeled "a heartbreak waiting to happen". I've since adopted this label, and I think we all should because unlike what we've been told in our western society's rejection of emotion, we are made to feel. In this episode, I give you all the scientific proof you need to believe vulnerability is a strength, and dive into why conservative religion's mixed messaging has seeped into and negatively affects how society views feeling.

It's good to be back! After one of the most magical summers in recent memory, I'm ready to jump back into the structured routine of Virgo season and the coming of the autumnal equinox. In this episode, I pay homage to the summer season and gently move forward toward fall and the Samhain holiday by way of a guided meditation.

My toxic trait is saying that every new episode is my new favorite episode BUT THIS ONE IS. I am joined by one of my favorite humans to stalk on Instagram, Eliza White (@eliza.lois) who shares their wisdom from being a coach to warm hearted, busy brained creative people on how to live a life of ease. Their insights are down to earth and they share them with a kind of accessible poetry. I know this episode will reframe, shift, and ignite a spark within you no matter what your vocation.

I recently had the privilege of hearing Robin Wall Kimmerer speak live at MSU for their science festival. Every single point she made was so poignant, and though I've listened to Braiding Sweetgrass all the way through in audiobook form, it's become so much more sweet going back to read my physical (autographed!) copy. In this episode, I'm reflecting on the powerful, yet applicable indigenous wisdom she shares.
