Seedy business | Cherie Calbom

Cherie Calbom is an author, a chef, and a visionary nutritionist.  Back before coconut oil and juicing were all the rage, Cherie was out there advocating their manifold health benefits.  Nowadays, you’ll be hard pressed (or, better yet, cold pressed) to find an American kitchen lacking in a vat of coconut oil, bowls of fresh produce, and a powerful blender in which to mix them.  Cherie is largely responsible for that.  Today, she’s on a crusade against seed oils.  Her latest little book, The Truth About Seed Oils, serves as a helpful primer on the subject.

The finest vintage: for the woman still waiting for love

Soon, it will come.   And when it does, I have no doubt you’ll be ready.  But in this period of waiting, I invite you to reflect on the ideas laid out in this episode:  1) The alchemy of tannins and the maturing of wine 2) The fragmented beauty of the Japanese art of Kintsugi  3) The cultivation of yourself in an “enclosed” garden Do not lose patience.  Do not despair.  When the time is right, you’ll be ready.  Dating with clarity, healing from situationship, emotional intelligence in relationships

To the woman who fears she’s running out of time (a fertility reframe)

Too often, the effort to conceive devolves into a frustrating war with time— A struggle against an impatient society’s expectations.  A race against nature’s cruel, inexorable “biological clock” ⏱️ In this meditation, I hope to reframe your fertility journey and restore your inner peace.  Here, we’ll unburden ourselves of constantly “trying”, and embrace the quiet sanctity of just “being”.  Themes covered in this episode include:  1) The Inner Citadel: An idea borrowed from the Stoics. A fortified soul through whose walls nothing can penetrate.  2) Negative Capability: An idea from poet John Keats. We’ll reclaim the state of uncertainty as a profound mystery—a hallowed space in which great things take form.  3) Chiaroscuro: Something aesthetic. We see the "not yet" as the enriching shadow against which the masterwork is brought into ever more vivid and beautiful relief.  If this episode resonates with you, please comment or send a note to pneuma.finneran@gmail.com (Oh...and I posted it on YouTube as well!
