I started making appointments with Stella this past summer through the recommendation of a friend because I had recently had mercury fillings removed from my mouth. It seemed that even though I was on a detox regimen, my body was still having trouble, and my migraines were getting worse vs. better.
After a couple of sessions, I noticed that my body responded to what Stella would say and do in our sessions. My curiosity and fascination led me to start asking deeper questions about what she was doing and how she was doing it, to which she generously shared with me that I, too, could learn to help my body heal.
This led to a number of discussions about bringing attention to my body, how I could access the energetic field, and allow the healing to occur by “getting out of the way,” as Stella will often say.
Over months of getting to know her more deeply, I am often struck by her gentle but deep wisdom and her perspective on certain things that are happening in the world in mainstream medicine. I marvel at how she orients herself in the world of healing, with respect for multiple modalities and room for contemplating the larger questions that continue to invite us to seek our own answers.
Stella is not a woman of small intellect. She is professionally trained in multiple modalities and an apt pupil of her own healing experiences and the miracles that have occurred in her presence through her understanding of how to communicate with the body. She has healed herself twice of cancer and has also healed herself of autoimmune thyroid disease and scoliosis. She believes that we can heal anything if we are willing to reveal what’s wanting our attention and why it’s calling us into the invitation in the first place.
Stella also happens to be one of the most genuinely loving people I have ever met. I have witnessed and experienced her generosity and integrity, not only for how she holds her work as a practitioner but also as a wife to her husband Charles, a mother to her son, and a teacher and a friend.
I’m proud to bring you this interview because I believe Stella's work in the world is incredibly relevant, especially at a time when many seek to unentangle themselves from the medicalized world of experts, prescriptions, and diagnoses that often leave us with nothing but frustration, inflammation, and a bottle of pills to suppress the symptoms vs. reveal the root cause.
In this great time of revelation, we are making our way back to ourselves, our intuition, and our bodies. We are trusting the body's innate healing potential through the quantum energy field - where all things are possible - especially miracles.
In this episode, we will reveal:
Stella is a writer and intuitive bodyworker. Her work draws from her training in multiple modalities, including Oriental Medicine, Esoteric Acupuncture, Ortho-Bionomy, Depth Hypnosis, and Integrative Manual Therapy. Before becoming a bodyworker, she was in publishing in New York, mainly as a travel writer. Her first memoir, Star Sister: How I Changed My Name, Grew Wings, and Learned to Trust intuition, was published in 2012. Her new memoir, about healing from breast cancer, scoliosis, and autoimmune thyroid disease, is currently being serialized at resonantattention.substack.com.

We can begin to recognize the symptoms and signs that are inviting us to reveal more so that we can heal the wounds that present themselves in our business behavior.

There's a wild woman within each of us, but she's been led down the wrong path. One that has slowly and efficiently lured her away from her truest, brilliant nature. Women must first root down and recognize the world in which we are planted and then choose to do things differently. It's time we link arms with our sister and say, "Fuck the patriarchy. Fuck the hustle". The world is screaming for a new kind of leadership, one infused with feminine values. It's damned time for a feminine rebellion.
Listen in to hear Natty's story that led her to the path of the wild feminine and how she’s helping women to remember their wild nature and more:
Nat Frasca is the founder of Tribe of Wolves, an organization dedicated to guiding women back to their wild, feminine power. She leads women back to their wildness via her coaching practice and in-person mountain retreats. Her mission is to create an army of female leaders that this mad world is screaming for right now, and she believes the time is now for a feminine rebellion.
Natty is a mom of three wild teenagers, an avid hiker, and a fierce lover of nineties hip hop. When she's not deep in the forest, you might find her scouring a local vintage shop for parachute pants, in her kitchen with her face planted in a bowl of buttery, garlic, mashed potatoes, or howling wildly under the moon with her sisterhood.

What does it mean to surrender certainty and live within mystery again, to recover the dark wisdom of the dirt and the dead, and to find our way together in an age of chaos and collapse?
Since ancient times, roses have symbolized the divine and our creators active presence in our lives.
It's also a representation of the gradual process of revelation, healing, and the many layers of wisdom that unfold throughout our lifetime.
Roses have also long served as the symbol of "The Lady" and Mother Mary.
Mary is closely associated with the rosary, but what most people don't realize is that she is also closely associated with The Goddess Isis.
You may be surprised to realize that the rosary has many incredibly mysteries that lead us down the radical path to the divine feminine.
Before a vision of the mysterious "Lady" invited Clark and Perdita to pray the rosary, they were not only uninterested in becoming Catholic but finished with institutional religion altogether. Their main spiritual concerns were the fate of the planet and the future of their children and grandchildren in an age of ecological collapse. But this Lady barely even referred to the Church and its proscriptions. Instead, she spoke of the miraculous power of the rosary to transform lives and heal the planet.”
THE WAY OF THE ROSE: The Radical Path to The Divine Feminine Hidden In The Rosary, is truly an incredible story. I consider it essential reading on the path to more deeply connecting with the divine feminine and highly recommend it.
Clark Strand and Perdita Finn are the co-authors of The Way of the Rose: The Radical Path of the Divine Feminine Hidden in the Rosary, and the founders of an international fellowship by the same name devoted to the earth and the Lady by any name you want to call her. They are committed to re-wilding prayer and our experience of spiritual community. Clark has written numerous books including Seeds from a Birch Tree: Haiku as a Spiritual Practice and Waking Up to the Dark: Ancient Wisdom for a Sleepless Age and connects people to the living world with his workshops on haiku and Finn is the author of the forthcoming Take Back the Magic: Getting to Know the Dead and leads friends into the underworld with her intensives on the dead.
Special Guest: Perdita Finn.

"The Burning Light of Two Stars: A Mother-Daughter Story" was such a beautiful book, and its author Laura Davis was a total delight to interview. Having had my own childhood trauma and troubled parental relationships, this book was incredibly helpful in helping to illuminate the deeper truths that lie under the surface of my personal struggle. I found peace and compassion in ways that surprised me.
Can you caretake a parent who betrayed you in the past? Is it possible to become open-hearted when life has taught you it's safer to stay protected and closed? How do we reconcile with someone we are estranged from when we disagree about some basic facts/realities in life? What does the healing process from trauma look like over the course of a lifetime? What does it mean to write about people in your life -- what are the ethical issues and concerns?
This riveting memoir by Laura Davis, also the author of The Courage to Heal, examines the endurance of mother-daughter love, how memory protects and betrays us, and the determination it takes to fulfill a promise when ghosts from the past come knocking.
When she published The Courage to Heal in 1988, Laura Davis helped more than a million women work through the trauma of childhood sexual abuse. But her decision to go public with her grandfather’s incest deepened an already painful estrangement with her mother, Temme.
Laura Davis is the author of seven books, including The Courage to Heal, Becoming the Parent You Want to Be, and I Thought We‘d Never Speak Again. Her groundbreaking books have been translated into 11 languages and sold two million copies. In addition to writing books that inspire and change people’s lives, the work of Laura’s heart is to teach. For more than twenty years, she’s helped people find their voices, tell their stories, and hone their craft. Laura loves creating supportive, intimate writing communities online, in person, and internationally. Today we’ll be talking about her brand new memoir, The Burning Light of Two Stars: A Mother-Daughter Story, the story of her embattled yet loving relationship with her mother.
