July 07, 2023 Makenzie Marzluff: The Gifts of Grief
I’m stoked to welcome my first guest onto the show, a dear friend & soul sister Makenzie McPherson.
Makenzie is one of the cofounders of Kakao - whole bean, heirloom drinking chocolate sourced from small family farms in both Peru & Guatemala
If you know me at all, you know I’m a huge cacao person since the day I had my first cup nearly 6 years ago and experienced the powerful heart opening properties this beautiful medicine brings. I’ve since been holding gatherings of my own, cultivating a beautiful heart centered community that offers a supportive space to feel seen, heard and uplifted.
For the very first time, Makenzie & I were blessed to hold a gathering together in Phx, Arizona and even after years of doing this, we’re still blown away at the power of coming together in counsel with one another.
In this episode we-
- Share a little bit about cacao and how this beautiful plant has supported us personally
- Discuss the connection it’s helped us strengthen with the Earth (a sneak peak into Makenzies upcoming book)
- Reflect on the recent gathering we held in Phx + our takeaways
- Dive into the 5 stages of grief and share a few small tips on how I’ve navigated it + talk the gifts that can come along with it
