This week on the Gutsy Chick podcast, I’m joined by ceremonialist and wisdom-keeper Maria Yraceburu—and we’re diving deep into the ancient Earth teachings that modern life forgot. From the truth about lunar cycles and water’s role in your wellbeing, to why ritual isn’t just “woo”—it’s survival—we’re reconnecting to the rhythms that have always guided us.  

This one’s soulful, grounded, and full of truth bombs you didn’t know you needed so tune in now.
