Where rebelle meets mystic, punk meets priestess, loner meets extrovert, soulful meets down-to-earth, and F-bomb meets Om, and where this whole seemingly disparate brood is welcome to exist at the same time. Join Pamella Heikel and Kate Case as they dive into discussions that only long-time soul sis…
It's that time again, where we've entered a "new year," but not really, so we talk about that. It has become a theme over the last three years for us to weigh-in on how we feel about the BS that industries market to us on January 1st.
During a pandemic how can we bring compassion and mindfulness into our everyday. Ted Lasso might be her to save us all!
It's been awhile Rebelles...but with the current conditions in the world, we thought it would be a good time to say hello. Let's dive right back in and talk about how we are holding opposites and how nature and the seasons still remain, stronger than ever, our guiding light.
Did you know that Fall Equinox marks the end of the Wheel of the Year according to the Celts and that Samhain (AKA Halloween) marks the beginning of the Wheel of the Year? And that there is all this yumminess in between that we forget about as we transition from our year and a new season. Ya, we talk about all of this.
We catch up after a long break, and like two soul sisters connecting, this conversation takes us to many places. We share our thoughts on what this Summer felt like and what it brought for both of us; how we are both honouring and welcoming in the new Fall season. Of course this brings us to talking about sacred containers, religion, philosophy, spirituality, and Indian and Chinese medicine. Journey along with us.
We are back and unpacking a lot that is happening NOW: Black Moon (what the heck is that), Dark Moon, and Lammas (Summer is almost over). Join us as we share with you all what's been going on and the beauty and power of the moon.
We have paused for a while, almost 9 weeks. We have returned...for now talking about solstice, music, boundaries, and emotions.
First late night RMR recording where we talk about how life is NOT a hustle; rather it is about being aligned.
Our discussion revolves around cleansing and purifying ourselves and our space as we head into the dark and new moon phases.
In today's episode we begin to riff about feeling a sense of funk. Spring just sprung, but we might feel a little stuck in muddy water. We talk about the tendency to want to feel motivated, but what happens when maybe we don't. We also throw in some TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) about talk about the liver and gallbladder and how they relate to Spring.
How do you shift into a new season? Here we talk about Ostara, and grounding into Spring; how we both recognize, embrace and shift into the energy of Spring.
Our discussion takes us into investigating where myth and religion interweave, and how it is the primary language to communicate common human struggles.
In honour of International Women's Day on March 8, we delve into the rhythms and cycles of nature and women: menses, moon, seasons, creativity.
We go behind the scenes and talk about the feelings of feeling guilty about talking about ourselves; themes that lead us to times that we did not feel worthy, to highlight ourselves and take up space.
Join us as we explore moon energy, creativity, and sex.
In this episode we dive into the topic of sisterhood and we definitely want to continue this conversation.
Welcome to a new lunar year - Year of the Pig! Together us Rebelles discuss the new lunar year vibes and briefly reflect on the past two years: 2017 the year of the Coup Stalking Rooster and 2018 the year of the Boarder Guarding Dog!
We get together and talk about how January can feel like one big Monday, and we look at the various shifts happening in nature and subtly. We discuss the importance of divine timing and how it relates to what is going on in our personal lives, along with the upcoming celebration of Imbolc. How it is a celebration of letting go of Winter and starting to prepare for Spring. We also discuss the seasonal aspect of marketing and advertising and how there is a natural pattern and rhythm.
We catch up after a couple weeks off and share personal blow ups. We talk about operating with outdated systems and mindsets. There is a lovely rant about having to DO the work. Enough gathering and learning, let's shift into doing mode. And finally we pull an oracle card on solitude and riff about that. It goes like this: Once you embrace the Inner Divine and your own sacred solitude, the right people arrive at the right time, exactly on schedule, without forcing or chasing.
In this episode we talk about inspiration, about being motivated by it along with how creativity, pleasure and our life force goes hand in hand. We talk about the addiction to being busy, how we don’t own inspiration, and how if we keep telling it not now, it will go and find somebody else to play with.

In 2019 and onward we would love to hear more from you about topics and questions that you may have. Drop us a line! PAMELLA: B
What is rest? Popular culture has told and sold us the idea of what rest means and should look like...but have YOU really thought about what truly brings you regeneration? What helps you to remain in alignment? Especially during the holidays, we find ourselves being pulled in so many different directions: on one hand we are scrambling to plan, buy, bake, cook, create and gather, and yet on the other hand we are told this time of year is for rest. Kate and I get into dissecting what rest means to us and ho
We celebrate our one year anniversary by taking a trip down memory lane. We visit episodes that truly spoke to us, dissecting them, putting them back together and giving our thoughts about where we are now.

In this episode we are inspired by a quote by Mark Nepo, “Enlightenment is living without illusion; the only place we transcend to is right back here.” We circle around this topic talking about becoming (inspired by Michelle Obama’s new book), we talk about how we can transform pain and discomfort by working through it. We discuss how feelings and moments build so much more energy and they can be really seductive and how to identify them. Kate talks about her history with anxious moments and how she
This episode is dedicated to a friend who inspired this question: Where are you? We are constantly changing, shifting, and reprioritizing throughout our lives. To do it with an open heart and eyes wide open takes courage as we allow our past to fade away and shift into our wildness.

This episode we titled Amazing Grace because we started talking about what to do when you have multiple emotions and knowing which way to go and how to experience them. What happens when resistance starts to subside. We also talk about the Hebrew word tzimtzum a term used in the Kabbalah. We touch on the difference between a meme and a koan; how one holds superficiality and the other holds depth. We talk about how we all have periods in our life where we tend to ourselves, and how being lost doesn’t need
This is our 40TH EPISODE! We get into a brief chat about the symbolism around 40 days...and nights. We also touch on the fact that it is now Scorpion Season, say hello to those emotions; and the last of the harvest moons AKA The Hunter's Moon...more on that too; and finally Samhain AKA Halloween! This episode is all about the emotions and the human condition of grasping and clinging...and that it creates suffering which is a choice.

The Equinox Aftermath. If you haven’t listened to episode 37 Fall Equinox then we invite you to listen to that now and come back here when you are finished. Here we talk about how we navigated the seasonal shift post equinox. We share how we are feeling, what we’ve done, what has transpired or even awoken within us. We talk about the power of the collective consciousness and the idea about claiming our voice. We also mention an older interview we did over at Health Lifestyle Design Podcast about mainta
In this episode of sharing we talk about how we welcome fall, the different energetic tone of sliding into the autumnal equinox. We discuss the beauty and miracle of living in the everyday and welcoming it in as sacred. We dive a bit into Chinese Medicine, and the connotation of letting go of what we don’t need, and the balance between yin and yang, light and shadow. We talk about Fall not only as a gateway to Winter but also the gift of the sense of equanimity and transformation, of gathering, of focusin
This episode is about doors of perception. We dive into the feelings and the texture of the dark moon phase, some education around the moon phases. We riff a bit about the dark moon phase around the feelings of pause, release, integration and dissolving…this inner silence. This led us into sharing what that place looks like for us when we feel like we are caught or stuck in the in between. Kate shares with us her idea of a room of potentiality; whereas Pamella’s looks like a cafe a place to sit, sip, an
Happy New New Year! This episode is based on a quote by Albert Camus “Autumn is a second Spring, when every leaf is a flower.” We talk about how September can often be this feeling of shift in energy and this idea of coming back. Coming back to projects, returning home to one’s self. With this season of chai and squashes, we delve deeper into the discussion of what it means to shift into a new season.

In this episode, due the current wild fires, we talk about psychological factors that impact mental health due to environmental factors like weather. How massive devastation due to weather can breed hopelessness. We talk about how easy it is to dismiss the weather, yet forgetting that humans came together as a result of agriculture. Our inherent survival depends on how we navigate nature…we need to talk about the weather. We are not immune nor separated from nature; she does impact our lives. As a society
Life is a journey. Your journey is your life. This episode pulls on a few threads: boundaries, capacity to hold space for others, health is NOT separate from life. We find ourselves beautifully continuing from our previous episode (31), about Soulcare is Selfcare: building a relationship with ourselves that includes our soul, spirit, mind and body. Your body is your direct link to experiencing life. Let your body have a voice and ask it, what do you need. Come along on our journey and connect with us to
We are back. In this episode we talk about soul care and self care and how they are one in the same. We also speak to the idea that spirituality is about taking care of yourself. It’s late Summer and we talk about what that means from a psychological perspective and nature medicine. We also talk about how we cling to certain ways of being and how to investigate the feelings behind that to consciously choose who or what gets that energy and time.

This episode is was incited by the TV show The Handmaid's Tale based on the book by author Margaret Atwood. THERE ARE NO SPOILER ALERTS! We have a discussion around what it must be like to constantly redefine our immovable centre. Always redefining our boundaries. Recognizing when they have been violated, and our willingness to respond. We grapple with the definition of bravery and what it means to us. Come along on our journey and connect with us to keep the conversation going. Rebelle Mystics FB: www.f
In this episode here is the thread that we pull, and web we weave: The tendency to ignore the obvious invitation and rather gravitate toward experiences where there is no invitation. Drinking the juice of our own message. It seems easier to fix ourselves than other people. Dark moon, boundaries, solar eclipse. Trying to fix things with the same approach over and over again…time to bury that hatchet. Gathering in community whether it is in person or virtually, where we all have specific masks, where
In this episode Kate shared a snippet from the book A Philosophy of Walking by Frederic Gros. And then...the whole episode was launched from there. We talk about self identity, the idea that society has made us all think that we are "special", Special is not a hierarchy. It is a feeling not a status. "Special" leads to expectations which lead to measurables and results in the inevitable state of disappointment. Connect with us to tell us what you think!

We were torn between three titles for this episode: I got peppermint in my eye, everything else is a circus, stop being an asshole. Those three titles sum up what we are talking about in this episode. We talk about how as humans we’ve got to the point where we’ve made things so complicated. We somewhere have lost our innate ability to commune with ourselves. We touch on movement practices and how this relates to it and even dance with the ideas of envy and jealousy. There is a lot going on in this con

In this week's episode we dive into: how do you understand your energy? How do you know if something is depleting, neutral, or nourishing? How do you relate to your partner/other people who might be different than you without a) hard feelings or b) spiritual bullying (where we think we know better)? What do YOU think? Are you an introvert, extrovert, ambivert, or identify differently? How do you recharge? How do you relate to others whose energy is different from yours? The same? Connect with us to tell

In this episode we talk about changes. Lifestyle changes in fact and the beauty and challenges around that, especially when you are sharing your life with a partner. We bring up the idea of Shenpa as we talk about habits, and the idea that it's really about small steps toward making shifts in our lives. This brings up the word and idea routine, which we both see as a dirty word. However, Pamella talks about how she has reframed this word to mean freedom. How routine provides freedom and creates a sacred
In this episode we swing from a conversation about being broken and how society pushes that upon us. We also go deeper into this feeling of feeling flawed or that we need to fix things in order to feel whole. We talk about what we think some of the origins are. We discuss archetypal symbols and religious context in terms of original sin. We also chat about how often we can feel discontent about how things are and wish that things can be other than how they are right now, and this rush to try to fix things
On today’s episode, Kate and I share and pull from personal experiences about this idea of retreating. Really, we go through the whole who, what, where, when, why, and how about retreating, from our perspective. A recent trip to the a mountain spa really drove home the idea for me about disconnecting to reconnect and then how to do we take that new energy and integrate it into our daily lives.
