Ep. 1 Tapping Into Your Every Day Medicine with Susan Lipshutz
“We’re not willing when we feel we have a lot to lose, but we risk everything when we feel like we have nothing to lose. ”
– Susan Lipshutz
How can we tap into our inner knowing and medicine? How can we move through fear in our most challenging moments?
Susan Lipshutz, LCSW - sacred feminine activist and integrative psychotherapy has spent more than 30 years supporting seekers and building strong communities that reawaken and integrate the divine feminine into daily life, combining the ancient wisdom of our grandmothers with her own powerful teachings attuned to the complexities of modern life.
Find out her most helpful tools and practices that have served Susan in her most challenging moments, 3 powerful questions to ask yourself in the healing process, and learn about the Akashic Records - what are they, how Susan uses them, and how they can be powerful in your healing journey.
I’m honored and excited to have Susan as my first guest for the launch of this podcast as she has not only been a mentor and dear friend, but her teachings and community offerings have supported so many women in her 30 years of service.
Enjoy!

Welcome to Feed Your Wild :: Food for your Body, Mind, & Soul
Welcome to Feed Your Wild! In this first episode, I'm honored to introduce myself, tell you a bit about the show, my story of overcoming chronic illness and how my mom's journey with breast cancer led me to the healing work I do today using food as medicine, nature-based practices, and intuitive guidance. I'll set the stage for what you can expect in upcoming episodes of Feed Your Wild.
This past weekend was a meaningful one for me as it was Mother's Day, and I feel so grateful to finally birth this baby podcast and share it with the world in honor of my mom Norma who was the catalyst for what I do and how I walk this earth today. I know she's always with me and I hope that you find a glimmer of hope or value listening to our stories. Te amo mami!
