Today I interview Nadine Allaham, mother of 3, homeschooler and holistic nutritionist. We chat about her journey with food and her understanding of metabolic health. Nadine is a science geek at heart, always seeking to find the truth, with the intention of supporting women in returning to their inherent nature which is peace and wholeness. Her wisdom is potent! You can find her at @thatgreenglow on Instagram.

In this episode we explore: 

—the moment Nadine was awakened to her restriction patterns, because her daughter was afraid to eat a date 

—when health fixation crosses a line

—the unlearning and the integration back into a whole approach to health, not a controlled based paradigm that many of our mothers had

—the mini initiations we are being put through as women, to untangle from fear and control 

—the connection between our mothers not knowing how to nourish themselves—hello 1980s diet culture—and so they didn’t know how to nourish us

(hint: we must alchemize this and heal the ultimate mother wound!) 

—how to identify the ingrained beliefs our mothers picked up from diet culture and how to nourish ourselves back to whole health

—the way the world advertises falsities about women and weight, and how it's stopping women from trusting their own cyclical postpartum process

—how most health and wellness trends today have nothing to do with your actual health and everything to do with being thin

—foods that have been demonized that actually provide energy for the body to heal 

—helping our children from a place of acceptance and unconditional love, NOT fear and control  

—the link between the unconditional love most of us did not receive from our own mothers… and the lessons coming up to accept our children unconditionally

—what Nadine would eat if she were pregnant today

—Nadine explores the connection between my pregnancy with a constant tooth ache and the time before that when I was plant based/vegan

—the link between dangerous wellness trends and well… We’re going there… white women! 

Have you noticed it's mostly white women in North American who parrot the need for 1000 supplements, certain diets and all the things? Nadine opens up about how this can distort women away from their culture and foods from their lineage meant to support them.

What an episode with depth and love! Enjoy xx

Episode 038 was one of the richest experiences I have had, interviewing Mama of 3, trained Doula and Engineer Emilie Leonard. You can find her on Instagram @thisrawmomlife

*Trigger warning: This episode shares a personal experience of depression and suicidal thoughts. The show is not intended to give medical advice or treatment. It is simply a woman sharing her story. If you are in need of help or support please reach out to a trained specialist. 

During this episode Emilie talks about:

—As a lover of learning, the stressful and polarizing time she had during her experience at university, despite achieving good grades in mechanical engineering

—The depression that ensued afterwards and the soul integration she faced 

—The shamanic experience of her depression and “entering the swamp” as she calls it

—The journey from engineer to full-on wild woman, teaching yoga, getting her reiki certification and then birthing and now schooling her kids outside of the system 

—Emilie’s wild experience as a doula and the trauma she witnessed in the birthing world 

—The synchronicities and the inner knowing of when Emilie felt her own children were about to be conceived

—Emilie’s personal transition from birth center birthing, to home birthing, to free birthing 

It was an honour to interview you Emilie. 

As the world continues to both censor and vilify stories of the divine feminine, the vision for the Story Sorce-ery podcast is to amplify the stories of women, their leadership and their liberation. These are the women who are remembering. These are the women who are doing the brave inner work. These are the kindest, bravest women I know. They are not just talking about the new world, they are creating it xx 

In this episode Geralyn covers:

1. How to access hope for the next generation, despite the current "destruction" energy of the world

2. The Priestess archetype that teaches impermanence and ceaseless change. Learning about this helps us remember this core experience, therefore loosening our attachment to drama

3.How to notice the good that is happening... plus how we must share this out. Geralyn shares some personal examples of teens in her life that are GETTING IT and feeling inspired for their life, no matter what is happening "out there"

4.How to be deliberate about personal choice right now. How to call back your power to make small yet powerful changes

5.The idea that children are easily influenced, plus how to cultivate relationships with the right people, to inspire their mood about the next 20 years

In this solo episode Geralyn talks about the Heroine’s journey, returning to wholeness amidst the times we are in, healing the mother/daughter split, the splits that can happen when we disconnect from the divine masculine, what really is Priestess work and what all this means as Pluto heads into Aquarius for the next 20 years. If you are curious, press play! We explore all of this through the lens of love and individual dharmic work, as opposed to fear. 

Kourtney and I met this past fall when we signed up my oldest for a homeschool pod.

Her story of leaving the system and choosing a different way is very inspiring.

Are you considering doing things differently when it comes to your career or the way you educate your children?

In this episode, we cover:

The moment Kourtney left her job

What she realized when her son was in JK

What we have learned so far being in a community oriented homeschool pod

Why it matters that the parents all know the parents

The experience the kids have at pod, being in community

How small homeschool pods nurture individuality

Inner child work that comes up with homeschooling

Hey everyone! Welcome back to the show. I have updates, including the fact that I will be hosting Guests soon on the show. Yay!!

I will be interviewing guests on the following topics: cyclical living, alchemy, homeschooling/world-schooling, re-wilding birth, community care, feminine leadership (vs the overarching masculine we see playing out today), priestess work, finding passion in homemaking, nourishment vs restriction, re-wilding families and much more.

During Today’s show I share the wild updates that have been happening over here plus a few tips for those who are deep in the process of alchemy, launching their latest soul work into the world, re-wilding their families and much more!

Let's learn and review the basics of alchemy. We touch on the life/death/re-birth process, how a season of die off/death can create a more powerful re-birth, clearing pain from the body, why many holistic modalities are no longer working and how to become your own self-healer and alchemist. 

Surprise! The podcast name is changing as I'm rebranding everything. Tune in so you don't miss a thing. Also I have some fresh insight to share on my upcoming work, plus what I believe is the alchemical ask of our time. Let's chat about the life/death/rebirth process we are all in... the concept of "Rubedo" in alchemy and so much more. I also touch on how many women are no longer working through more beginning stages of alchemy (think opening the throat chakra.) Many are open here. We are now deepening into the womb and the heart. It's an 8 layer process and it's necessary to EMBODY our next level of leadership. We are moving from karma to dharma and the time is now.

This is deep work we're all in friends -- and we need soft spaces of support to land amidst it all. That's what this podcast is for.

Let's continue the conversation on what the next 10 years hold as it relates to family dharma, kids and being the leaders our families need! xx

Old teachings are expiring not because they were wrong or not helpful but simply because they served the times we were in. The truth is however we are in a NEW era of consciousness and we need new levels of truth unlocked within our tissues to support us through! Lean in friends, it's time! xx
