Today I'm inviting you into maple season, exploring the symbolism of tapping the trees and the embodied feeling of hope that it gives me.

Join me for a journey into the liminal space between winter and spring, where we find invitations to expand after contraction, opportunities to slow down, and the sweet, earthiness of sweet water.

Welcome back to season two of Threshold Moments. Today I'm joined by author, Yoga Medicine teacher, multi-sport athletic coach, and World Record Holder, Kirsten Beverley-Waters.

Our conversation spans topics from gender to athleticism to endurance to social justice. And at it's core, I think it's about the ways that small steps make a big difference over time — both in finding our innermost selves and in straying farther from who we truly are.

Kirsten also shares their process of claiming themselves as non-binary and what that did for them as they went into a 100-mile race.

Tune in to learn how a run of any distance or decision of any size can radically change your life when paired with a deeper intention. I hope you'll listen and enjoy.

Welcome, dear listeners. Today I'm honored to be in conversation with Jennifer Fox.

Jen is a peaceful pagan and proud witch who focuses her practice on the natural world and the cycle of the seasons. She joins me today to discuss the profound impact of Imbolc and the personal journey it has symbolized for her.

If you're not familiar with Imbolc, it's a traditional holiday that represents a time of renewal and new beginnings. This makes it a perfect analogy for the pivotal moments in Jen's life, including her husband's stroke and the subsequent challenges they faced.

Join us as we delve into Jen's story of resilience, her connection to nature, and the profound lessons she learned about love, self-growth, and acceptance.

Welcome back to Threshold Moments, dear listeners. In this Mini Musing, I'm delving into the fascinating relationship between our body posture and our emotions.

I begin with a brief exercise, then share the transformative Psychosomatic Wellness research of Dr. Candace Pert and my everyday experiences with the connection of mind and body.

Join me as I explore the impact of cell receptors, somatic practices, and the body's intelligence on our emotional experiences. Like me, you just might find that by exploring the connection between our posture and emotions, we can facilitate profound personal growth.

Welcome, dear listeners. As we enter this new year, I want to invite you to begin in a slower place. Because when we begin from a slower, perhaps less resourced place, what we envision and create may be more supportive, sustainable and sacred for us over time.

Tune in as we explore the Tao, nervous system regulation, healing journeys, and the possibility of the new. And stay with me until the end for a grounding practice to open your year gently.
