Micro-Dosing the Mystery

This is a fun one friends. We invite on our fellow mystic nymph, herbalist, and lover of chickens, Steph Hardie, to jam on what self-care looks like when we broaden our lens.  We explore:  Why we feel it’s important to move from the tunnel vision/naval gazing of self care to caring about community How our patterns within interpersonal relationships mirror pattern with inner relationships How self care changes when we challenge the concept of “other” and feel into the mystery of “we are part AND whole” How “gap gazing” creates a fixation on “not enoughness” which inherently limits our potential How we each “micro-dose the mystery” to help us ride life’s waves and digest what can’t be known If you want to join all three of us on retreat this fall, register here! https://www.wildessence.org/samhainsanctum [https://www.wildessence.org/samhainsanctum] Connect with Chrissy over at: www.theartofaliveness.com Connect with Jessi over at: www.wildessence.org Connect with Steph over at: https://www.gateandgardenherbals.com

When you'd rather be a Bridge Troll

In the episode, Chrissy and Jessi explore the tension between desires for rest and the desire to be creative. They reflect on how their experience with wonder has shifted from childhood to adulthood, and muse on how they navigate moments when they'd rather just be living under a bridge. They emphasize the importance of valuing one’s inherent being over productivity and the desire to feel worthy independent of output. They also discuss the importance support containers have been in their lives and what investing in themselves in looking like lately.
