Ep. 129 The Medicine of Grief for Radical Change with Ayana Young
If you have been feeling a sense of overwhelm, fear, anxiety, loss, paralysis, and grief for some time... in light of ecological crisis, destruction of the natural world, and especially amidst Coronavirus pandemic, you are not alone. This grounding yet inspiring conversation is for you.
We are speaking with Ayana Young, host of the For The Wild podcast, an anthology of the Anthropocene; focused on land based protection, co-liberation and intersectional storytelling rooted in a paradigm shift from human supremacy towards deep ecology.
In this heart-felt interview, we talk about the transformative power of collective and personal grief as a portal, the importance of letting grief in collectively in this time, and the insights we are beginning to glean from COVID-19. Ayana reminds us of the critical importance of community resiliency, local systems, and connection to Place that is rooted in love.
Ayana shares how she faces grief, guilt, and shame in her own life, including supportive touchstones and practices, and how her work and conversations with great minds on her podcast have shaped and informed her own evolution.
Ayana also shares about her land restoration projects, including the "1 Million Redwoods" project, where she is working to preserve and propagate the biodiversity of the old growth Redwood forest.
Ayana’s deeply rooted commitment to wild nature is apparent in the way she navigates this discussion with a grounded sense of curiosity, connectedness and aliveness that has seeded in me a sense of hope.
Hear Ayana’s invitation to listeners during the challenging times of Coronavirus and beyond, and her prayer for the collective.

QUOTES
“We’ve been living on this earth as humans much longer than we’ve been living as industrialized humans.” ~ Ayana Young
“We have to fall in love, and we have to be committed and devoted, so when we see those things being lost, the grief gets awakened (and maybe guilt and shame). We can move that into passion, action, devotion, commitment, focus... if we can do that with stillness, slowness, and real intention, that would be such a good recipe for how to be with what is happening right now.” ~ Ayana Young

Ep. 128 Medical Astrology 101 :: Mapping Individual & Collective Health Trends + Coronavirus Insights with Judith Hill
This mega episode with Judith Hill, internationally recognized astrologer, author, & researcher, is jam packed with insights on Medical Astrology. Judith’s unique perspective is grounded and dynamic, and this conversation was incredibly timely falling at the beginning of the Coronavirus events. Judith shares her astrological take on Coronavirus, COVID-19’s connection to the lungs and the collective health trends in 2020.
We cover what medical astrology is, the many uses of medical astrology, its history in the medical world, and how to actually apply medical astrology in everyday life.
We cover the primary and fundamental elements we need to know to get started with medical astrology, how Saturn and Mars influence various biological processes, why they are considered “malefic” and can be misunderstood. Judith shares how the moon influences our health, as well as which body parts and areas are connected to specific signs and planets.
We explore various aspects of my own chart and how they’re connected to issues I’m currently experiencing, plus Judith shares case studies and examples of how she has used medical astrology with clients (she even touches on Bernie Sanders’ astrological predispositions!)
Judith also speaks about astrology for fertility and gives a great talk on cosmic influences of fertility for those who are interested.
The way Judith brings astrology into life in a practical and grounded way is super helpful in these times of uncertainty and navigating the unknown - we literally have a map and signals we can look to for gaining a sense of what might be going on which can be calming for our nervous systems!

How medical astrology was one of the first uses of astrology

A brief history of medical astrology and why it “went out of practice,” and the campaign attacks on holistic practitioners, medicine people, and astrology by “modern science”

How Saturn and Mars influence various biological process, why they are considered “malefic” and can be misunderstood
Judith gives us insightful case studies and how medical astrology is great for mystery illnesses, including a famous case of saving a woman from poisoning

We explore aspects of Venessa’s own chart, including how Saturn in Libra relates to issues she’s experienced in the low back and what Judith says could be an antidote
Judith uses Bernie Sanders natal chart as an example for how Mars can impact his health - living examples and why Judith would love a talk with him

Why you do NOT want to have surgery scheduled on an eclipse
Why it’s important to understand the energetics of each sign and planet
Astronutrition - using astrology to assess predisposition of nutritional deficiencies and how specific vitamins and minerals are connected with certain planets
Astrology for infertility: Judith’s view on the rise in fertility challenges, and how she sees it most with caucasian women, why she’s had 90% success in fertility rate, women do not ovulate just once a month - they can ovulate by surprise under special stimuli and how women are more likely to get pregnant on their astrological fertility moment than she is on her ovulation time

Today I’m sitting with Liz Mullinar, a survivor of childhood trauma, trauma counsellor, and the founder of Heal For Life Foundation which has provided trauma recovery programs for over 20 years.

It demonstrates how to transform painful trauma memories and emotional triggers into permanent healing. 100% of the book’s proceeds go back to Heal for Life to pay for survivors to attend programs!

About Monthly Soul Nourishment Readings: These readings are usually filled with metaphor & symbols, so may require a bit of unraveling & might mean something different for each person, so pay attention to what comes up for you as you listen on. Hope they provide value and moments of reflection in your journey.
In this Akashic reading for March, I share a message from our guides: To Wake UP.
We receive the call to enter the deepest parts of our Self, to wake up from the dream. And to open our inner eyes to see that the very thing we seek is beckoning us from within. The cosmic door lies inside our cells. It’s a journey back home, and along the hero’s journey we’re faced with danger, fear, death, and the chance to be reborn. This message is urgent in its feel yet reassuring in its directness. We’re given a few tips to help us along, including a reminder that the trees hold the medicine.
From Wolf stars to black holes and supernovas, this cosmic reading brings us back to Mama Earth and the power of connecting with Trees, especially upon the portal of the equinox on March 19.

Ep. 122 Functional Somatic Syndrome, Women’s Health, & Community Herbalism with Anja Robinson
Today we are speaking with Anja Robinson, Clinical Herbalist, Functional Nutritionist, Women’s Integrative Health Educator and founder of Poppy Herbals—an Herbal Elixir Bar and Apothecary in Ashland, OR. She’s also my co-facilitator for our upcoming Herbal Anatomy Series at Hawthorn Institute! In this episode, we’re talking about functional somatic syndrome (FSS) and the power of community health & herbalism in addressing complex health issues.
FSS has been around for thousands of years and various terminology has been used to describe it, including hysteria, somatoform disorders, and medically unexplained symptoms. FSS highlights the inefficacy of the conventional medical system in addressing root causes, the undeniable mind-body connection, the startling rates of trauma (esp in women) impacting health, and the lack of community wellness and support.
Together, Anja and I explore top ways to support those who have experienced FSS (many of us), the importance of community, and how to begin addressing the underlying issues related to so many unexplained or complex symptoms and health challenges.
Show Notes
In this episode, we discuss:
How Anja started down her path into herbalism, Ayurveda, nutrition and women’s health
The normalization of dis-ease and imbalance in our medical system
How active listening is an indispensable tool as a practitioner and part of the medicine
The most common underlying factors of complex chronic health challenges
What is functional somatic syndrome/somatic symptom disorder and how it relates to the prevalence of chronic health challenges, especially for women
What common disorders and health challenges fall under the umbrella of somatic syndrome, including PMS, chronic fatigue, chronic pain
Why Anja appreciates functional medicine and what some of the differences are between functional approach and conventional approach
Why addressing the gut and blood sugar regulation are the first places to address when dealing with a complex health challenge or somatic syndrome
How Anja uses elimination diets as a first line approach to reduce inflammation, support immune system, and identify triggers - Anja lists common foods to avoid
Community herbalism and ways women can come together to support their health
How women have increased exposure to toxins in daily life that have an impact on our detoxification system and overall health
The 3 pillars of health for women: diet + lifestyle; mind-body medicine; community
Anja offers a few ways of how to build community and make community medicine

About Monthly Soul Nourishment Readings: These readings are usually filled with metaphor & symbols, so may require a bit of unraveling & might mean something different for each person, so pay attention to what comes up for you as you listen on. Hope they provide value and moments of reflection in your journey.
In this Akashic reading for February, Venessa shares a potent message about SAFETY & shame.
Safety. It is this that we all seek. Our guides invite us to look at the ways we are hindered by a perceived lack of safety, within. We are shown the ways our cultural conditioning, shame programming, and fear prevent us from expressing our true Self and Soul. We are guided to look at the ways we hold ourselves captive to erroneous beliefs. We are asked to cultivate safety within and a sense of Home in our own bodies.
“There is a dance that we must all learn, & the music only plays when you move your feet.”
What holds you back from dancing the life you are meant to live, my love?
Set yourself free. Co-create the safety net, starting by taking a small step. Our guides offer suggestions for doing so, and speak into the larger collective feelings of fear, lack of safety + control, and shame.
Venessa offers some cultural context in the prologue, and insights including Imbolc blessings that tie in with the reading.

Ep. 118 Hope, Spiralic Healing, & Energy Medicine for Chronic Illness with Cari Nadeau
In the intro, I share a personal check-in and insights, astral influences this month so far, and how to support ourselves by tending to our energetic ecologies and bodies.
So much that manifests as physical symptoms or ailments have their origins in the energy body. All ancient healing traditions include energy medicine in one form or another, in my experience, when there is chronic illness present - we MUST look to its energetic influences.
In this episode, we’re speaking with Cari Nadeau, a Certified EFT Practitioner and a Certified Emotion Code Practitioner. Cari shares how she went from bedridden from Lyme disease to thriving energy medicine practitioner. We talk about Cari’s journey with psychiatric medication, withdrawal from psychiatric medication, major depression and top resources Cari found for mental health support. We discuss how to remove trapped emotions, and the “masterpiece combo” that Cari uses to move through big negative patterns or stuck energies.
Cari also shares the top beliefs that Cari identified were holding her back and keeping her sick, her spiralic healing journey, how it was “ugly,” what her “relapses” looked like, and what she did to move thru them. In the end, we share Cari’s favorite resources and books to get people started with energy healing, including a free gift - link is in the shownotes!

What if you could “see” all of your problems... would you be willing to take full responsibility of your life experience? The choice is yours and the time is now. We’re being called to shift our outer world by shifting how we relate to time.
This month, we’re stepping into the realm of “All-time” and it’s a wild ride ;)

Linda shares how she transitioned from commercial storytelling in film, tv and radio to storytelling for wellness, her process of coming out of the “spiritual closet” and making conscious development teachings more accessible to her community.
Linda also talks about the biggest challenges that she has faced in her transition and what following the intuitive path looks like for her, plus the dragons she has slayed along the way in stepping into her truth and breaking through victim mentality.
Linda gives so much beautiful advice for those of us in the contraction phase in our path, and how to honor the ebbs just as much as the flows.
As the final interview of 2019 and this decade, I couldn’t have imagined a better conversation to close out the energy of this past decade and honor where it is that we are going together as a collective - toward a way of living that honors our rhythms and cycles on a massive scale.
THANK YOU for being YOU and your contribution to your own growth + supporting the greater global community. ♥️
