                                                                                                                  In this episode of Tending The Sacred, Suzi shares a personal and timely reflection on the changing seasons, collective emotions, and the importance of prayerful practices. As the energy of October shifts and many feel the weight of the season, Suzi offers a message she received during a personal ceremony – “When did you stop praying?” – a call to return to intentionality, gratitude, and connection with the earth and the elements.

                                                                                                                                    In this heartfelt episode of Tending the Sacred, I reflect on a meaningful conversation I had with my daughter and her friend, both of whom work as medical assistants at a reproductive care clinic. These conversations bring to light important issues surrounding reproductive health, birth control, and the deeper layers of healing that often go unspoken.


                                                                                                                                    We explore the connection between physical symptoms, trauma, and the emotional experiences that live within our bodies. As my daughter and I discuss the role birth control plays in women's health and its potential long-term effects, we begin to uncover how much more support and education is needed in the realm of reproductive care. These discussions lead us to question the deeper causes of reproductive challenges such as PCOS, endometriosis, and pelvic pain.


                                                                                                                                    The episode also touches on how trauma and life experiences leave their marks on our bodies, particularly in our wombs and pelvic areas. I share the importance of addressing not just the physical symptoms, but also the emotional and spiritual layers of our being to find true healing. Through this exploration, we are reminded that tending to our bodies involves acknowledging the traumas we carry, as well as finding ways to nurture and heal them.

                                                                                                                                                                            In this deeply moving episode of Tending the Sacred, Suzi welcomes her dear friend and soul sister, Nicole Olsthoorn, to the show. Together, they explore Nicole’s courageous journey of self-healing, from her diagnosis of endometriosis to her transformative experiences in Avalon, where she fully embraced her own power to heal.


                                                                                                                                                                            Nicole is a Psychic Priestess and Feminine Leadership Mentor, devoted to helping female business leaders live, love, and lead in alignment with their heart’s deepest desires and soul’s highest vision. Her work empowers women to unleash the wild wisdom of their inner Goddess. In early 2023, Nicole received an invitation from the Council of Light to lead a cosmic mission to open the high heart chakra of the world—a mission rooted in the ancient wisdom of Atlantis and the divine feminine lineage of Avalon. Her work with women leaders is an essential part of this sacred mission.


                                                                                                                                                                            Nicole shares her personal story of turning away from traditional medical interventions and embarking on a sacred path of womb healing. She reflects on the pivotal moments, such as her pilgrimage to Avalon and her connection with Suzi, that empowered her to say "no" to surgery and "yes" to her body’s innate wisdom.


                                                                                                                                                                            Throughout their conversation, Suzi and Nicole talk about the deep spiritual and physical healing that takes place when we honor the wisdom of the womb. They touch on the bravery it takes to step into our own healing journey and the importance of community, support, and devotion to the sacred.
