Red Dust Rising

A deep dive into why I've been quiet on the podcast the last couple of months. I got sick with c*vid. In this episode I share every detail with you about my illness process, the lingering effect it has had on my life, and all the supplements and remedies I took/am taking to heal. My personal healing on a mental and physical level has been entirely interconnected, and I am excited to share about a book I've been reading with scientific evidence as to how and why the body and mind are intertwined.

It's September 2020, and the world is murky. I felt called to share my thoughts, hold some space, and offer a meditation. So many people are feeling the weight of 2020 right now. It's no longer novel, it's traumatic and seemingly there's no clear end in sight. How do we use the tools we have to take care of ourselves and our loved ones during this heavy season? How do we cultivate a little light within ourselves? Notes:Trigger warning: suicide. Only at the beginning - skip about 8 minutes in, and you'll miss it.

On the flip side of a grueling dance with death, Ginger Casper is on a mission to hold space for and provide help to folx struggling with chronic illness. She is a loving mother, a lawyer, a business-owner and a visionary. "How are you, Ginger?" "I am SO good," she'll say. She has a fresh perspective on life and what it means to be healthy, alive and happy. Since healing from Gadolinium poisoning, Ginger has launched two businesses with co-founder Chelsea Banks: Workflow Offices and Commons and Unburden. We dive into what these businesses are about, how she got here, and how she is able to help others heal. Notes:In case it wasn't clear, we believe COVID-19 is real, masks are helping, and keeping our immune systems healthy is important.

An episode on Tarot with Hannah Gatzka led to a fantastic conversation about life transitions, reclaiming our expectations for ourselves (rather than living by other people's rules,) and finding ways to self-soothe when we are at a crossroads. Although this conversation was recorded at the beginning of the year, it still feels so relevant. It has been a strange year all around the globe in 2020, and it just keeps getting weirder. Remember to take care of yourself, try not to worry about what you cannot control, and sharpen your self-help tools, because we're only halfway through. Notes:Update from the episode: the hand-bound books I mentioned at the end are actually available for purchase on the site where you can also purchase Taroetry.

In this episode with Kelly Ewing, we talk about going through pain, rather than around it. Kelly reminds us that even sunbeams experience darkness sometimes, but that the darkness is not something to be afraid of. Without the darkness, there is no transformation, no deep appreciation for the light. The Fruitful Darkness, as Trevor Hall has named it. This episode is incredibly relevant to everything happening in the world right now. We are experiencing collective darkness, collective anger, collective uprising and transformation. I hesitated to release an episode at all, but nearly everything that comes up in this episode can be applied to our current circumstances. It is up to us to dive deep, work through, root in, and rise up in Love, Truth, and Integrity. And as Kelly reminds us, plant joyseeds along the way.

Karli talks with Jessi Murray and Anna Frost about Library: A Modern Clothing Company, how they manage it all while holding multiple jobs and looking fantastic all the time. Truly, both these women are fashion icons in the making. But it's not always breezy. We chat about the challenges of starting your own business, managing the surprises nobody can predict, and dealing with the anxiety that comes with it all. This episode is a solid hour of giggles, real talk, and girlboss energy. Content Warning: Marijuana, Alcohol, Anxiety, and the F word if that bothers you.

In this episode, we are chatting with Sally January, owner of Siempre Viva. Sally is a woman of great integrity, and this is evident in her business. All her goods are thoughtfully chosen in that they give back, they empower the artisans, and they respect the environment. Sally is unwavering in her core values, and that's what makes her business so successful. We discussed what it looks like to have a retail business during the time of coronavirus, how she started Siempre Viva, and how she manages her life as a business owner, entrepreneur, mom of twins, and so much more. I appreciate Sally's vibrant and fiery energy, and I know you will, too!

Stefanie Grant is the owner and founder of Twinkle Apothecary - my all time favorite clean and sustainable skincare brand. Self-made through and through, Stefanie has the grit it takes to launch a successful business totally solo. We found many parallels in our paths, and dove into healing, wellness, and starting from scratch. Stefanie inspires me with her strength and perseverance, her ability to set boundaries, and her juicy morning routine. She has impacted my life in so many ways, and at points during this conversation, we both became a little misty eyed. Cheers to mighty women doing great things!

In this episode, Karli chats with Adi McCasland about her courageous move to Oklahoma City to save the dolphins from the Oklahoma City Zoo. Adi didn't plan to come to OKC or to stay here for long, but when circumstances drove her out of Texas overnight, a tale of bravery and perseverance unfolded, leading Adi on a journey through the unknown. Adi's grit and determination is evident as we dive into her adventuresome life of running ultra marathons, teaching yoga, and launching her own business: Our Yoga Collective. Adi is wise, empathetic, and a joy to chat with. Check out her blog in the notes below - if you love listening to her speak as much as I do, I guarantee you will love her blog. I find myself pouring over entry after entry.

Today, we are talking about reiki, natural native movement, navigating self-doubt, and the process to becoming your highest self with Oklahoma Native Bailee O’Brien. Bailee has devoted her life to studying the mind, body, spirit connection and how it relates to our overall well-being. Throughout her life she has gained experience in dance, yoga, natural health, energy medicine therapies & more! Her sense of purpose comes from offering her innate wisdom and acquired holistic modalities to support those in her community to cultivate a lifestyle of wellness inside & out. It was truly a joy to chat with Bailee, we giggle, we get real, and through this conversation, we found unity and friendship. I hope you enjoy listening to her speak as much as I do.

In this episode of Red Dust Rising Podcast, we take a deep-dive with Pooja Parikh into the tribulations and triumphs of living with chronic illness. We talk about nutrition as a healing modality and how opposite protocols can work toward one unified goal. This episode, although recorded months before the outbreak of Covid-19 hits on points that feel apropos in this current time, like how to ask for help without shame and how to offer help to friends dealing with chronic pain or illness. Curl up with your favorite hot, allergen-free beverage and enjoy chatting with two long-time friends. Notes:TW: In this episode, we very briefly touch on disordered eating.

This very first episode of Red Dust Rising Podcast hits on the urge to run away when the going gets tough and the challenge of integrating habits which will help us thrive right where we are. You'll feel like you're cozied up between Karli and Addie on the teal couch as they share stories of growth and transformation through their personal struggles with work, religion, depression and anxiety. Addie's way of explaining things will make you giggle and give you goosebumps all at the same time. Notes:This is not a religious podcast. But when discussing existential ideas, that stuff comes up often. I do my best to navigate this conversation with all guests from a place that feels true to me and respectful to them. It is my goal to share stories in the hopes they will resonate with you or inspire you. Take what works for you and leave what doesn't.
