Part of the story of how I came to Healing. This may be woven into Lady Isabella's story, stand on its own, or become part of a new thread. Only time will tell. I particularly like this one... wait for the song at the end! The song is an earlier recording... when my speech was still recovering. Enjoy! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/threesisterspublishing/support

This morning I was reminded to sing in the Sunrise to clear my mind, body, heart and soul of frustrations. This is my reset for today and I will have to make a habit of it again! The first song is one I was gifted almost 20 years ago by Spirit when in a tumultuous time of life. The second song is an adaptation of a song I wrote for my youngest son when he was defying death as a toddler. I've changed the power animals from his to my own. It seems fitting. Homework: Can you hear YOUR SONG? What happens when you sing it out loud? Off to feed the puppies!

I've been contemplating for a couple days now on how to create the old bardic style songs to keep my content "fresh". These couple songs are what emerged during my 4-5am walk-about the kitchen island. My puppies fell promptly asleep and I think I found it! Listen and see if I was successful. I think it turned out pretty okay.

This month, I am embodying The Witch in the Woods archetype as I speak to the Healing of Women. I share personal experiences to demonstrate the need and necessity of bringing back the methods of Women's Healing that were stolen from us once upon a time. This episode is also filled with real action steps you can take to help heal yourself as a woman... and to help support/heal the women in your life. This is the longest episode that I've done for this podcast, and I give Gratitude to those who listen to it all the way through... even if you do it in stages. Blessed Be. Authors on Women's Healing that have impacted my own life and abilities: Dr Clarissa Pinkola-Estes and Diane Stein. They both have a multitude of beautiful writings and teachings to guide you on the path of healing. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/dandelionroots/support

I started this episode in May 2023 as a way to process my grief over my mother's death at the same time I celebrated my 46th birthday. Turns out it wasn't as simple as that, and there is so much more to grieve than just her. I ended the episode with my personal prayer song gifted to me by my spirit guides and grandmothers... because when we need help, we ask for it... and because we cannot live life always grieving. At some point we have to move forward. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/dandelionroots/support

There is a crazy phenomenon with brain injuries where the brain simply forgets that which isn't openly present (in front of your face) most of your day, week, or month. As the brain heals, this can diminish over time. It's important to keep watch on your nutrition, lifestyle, and, most importantly, to keep asking for help in finding new therapies. Today's episode includes Chit Chat, Poetry and Questions to ask your doctor to make sure you are receiving optimal nutrition and supplementation while your brain and body continue to heal. ❤️ --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/dandelionroots/support
