Stories Not to Take to the Grave ~ Soul Alchemy with Plant Allies

The Day I Met My Wolf With Plant Ally Red Clover - Hormones, Liver Detoxification & Eczema

In this episode, I recount a slightly cringey childhood story taking place in a noticeable 80's motif. This is the day that I first met my wolf. I tell my tale making note of the plant allies that had accompanied me. We learn about the nature of Poplar and Birch trees, and their role in Anishinaabe and Finnish culture. I briefly point out the multi-dimensional nature of words when they move from, or through, the human body into a narrative, along with the power associated. Trifolium pratense or Red Clover comes with me on this adventure and I cover the medicinal qualities this herb has to offer.

Fire, Shame & Worthiness | Tips to the Road Less Travelled

In this episode, I’m joined by my plant ally, Urtica dioica or Stinging Nettle, along with Megan Khuu, the founder of The Happy Healing Heart. She is a spiritual coach and energy healer who combines intuitive guidance, Reiki, and crystals to help empower people to release old stories, rediscover their worth, and realign with their true energy and purpose. This recording caught the fire and thinning veils of the end of October. I touched on subjects that I now question whether I should have spoken on. Megan delivers a raw account of the moment she realized her six-figure career was killing her and the experience of facing shame along with the eventual embodiment of her chosen entrepreneurial journey. Megan discloses how she utilizes her ethereal caring and cruel phantom aunties to guide and motivate her.

What I Learned In a Moment of Weakness! Be Wary the Weight Loss Patch + Plant Options

In this episode, I’m joined by my plant ally, green tea, and Kolby Romard to discuss the popular Berberine + NAD 10-in-1 microneedle patches, which are marketed for weight loss, firmer skin, and a range of other health benefits. We examine the risks of companies exploiting consumers through questionable claims and undisclosed ingredients. We also explore concerns about the GLP-1 class of drugs, including brands like Ozempic, and the adverse reactions associated with them. We also talk about why a slower, gentler approach to caring for the body with whole plants may be more beneficial in the long term than seeking harsh, fast results. Along the way, we share several plant-based options that may support your personal health and wellness journey.

What's the Download on Divine Timing, Mugwort and Mushrooms!!?

In this episode Kolby Romard, the founder of Love Reflected, and I get together for a more informal observation about what’s going down in our current month. Kolby creates a clothing brand built to inspire confidence, self-worth, and connection through the message of self-love. We discuss themes such as divine timing that appears to be a present pertinent lesson. Divine timing is not always perfectly planted roses and what we hope for. However, it is a very important guide in our growth and to our path of greatest potential, along with protecting us from ourselves when necessary. I discuss what I learn from Mugwort and how this grandmother put me in my place, for my benefit and those around me. I also talk about a recent fungi experience and potentially my unskillful choice that led to an important lesson about allowing oneself to be misunderstood. Kolby shares entrepreneurial tips about getting out of your head. She discusses the importance of people disliking us, and how this strengthens our team; those seen and unseen in our human experience. Kolby also touches on ways can we stay sane and grounded while participating in life and exploring the realm of Spirit. She also touches on ways can we stay sane and grounded while participating in life and exploring the realm of Spirit. Along with why Kolby was struck by Allan Watts and taking notes listening to Gary Vee! It is also very interesting to me that my idea of self and how I perceive the world has already shifted greatly from this recording. I feel we are in a time of immense growth and inner standing. With this said, there is no need to change up parts of such content as it is a rolling narrative and such is the point of this podcast – to dig through the layers, get dirty and talk about it along the way.

Accused of Witchcraft in my Underwear (Authorities Called...like What!?)

In this titillating true story, I give an account of the comical time I was accused of witchcraft, and the realizations it gave me about the lingering tainted view of the divine feminine in the collective conscious. I share my current existential challenge, and I ponder if these differing ideals of the world can co-exist at all, or is the forced removal required of one narrative so as to ensure the survival of the other. Could we also be working on an entirely novel world narrative? I discuss the plant allies that came out of my destroyed herbal garden, to ultimately have my back and what I learned. I also incorrectly stated that I introduced the characters of the ‘downstairs neighbours,’ in Episode 3 but it was in fact in Episode 2.
