The Mess & The Magic

In this episode, I had the pleasure of talking with Astrid van den Broek. We met through my husband, as she has been his coach, on and off, for the past 8 years. We talked about her work as a transformation advisor for companies and leaders, what she sees as the main themes emerging in the current times we live in, and the big challenges we are facing as in the midst of this BIG personal and collective change. We wove this conversation through Crone's wisdom, Human Design, and our connection to the WITCH archetype. Invitations: From Astrid:

In this episode, I had the pleasure of talking with my dear friend Nutmeg about our relationship with plants. She tells us the story of how she got into herbalism, how her relationship with the plants has grown and changed when she moved to The Netherlands, and how she felt called to create a women's festival to honor and restore our connection to this stream of wisdom. We want to invite you to The Wild Roots Herbal Gathering happening in The Netherlands on June 13th-15th of 2025, and you can get your ticket here: https://hipsy.nl/event/91658-wild-roots-herbal-gathering-2025Invitations: From Nutmeg:

In this episode, I had the joy of having my dear friend Hrissi join as a cohost for the most special episode of the YEAR! I asked her if she would come on the podcast as the midwife for my new oracle deck, The Elders' Council. We talked about how the deck came to be, our ache for the elders we miss in our lives, and the difference between growing older and growing elder. I also shared the story of some real-life elders I plan on supporting once we go over the initial goal for the Kickstarter campaign, which will be open from April 16th to May 19th, 2025. Here are the simple steps to pre-order your deck:

In this episode, I had the delightful opportunity to invite Tad Hargrave to join me for a conversation that took us on a fascinating contemplation on the deep hunger we experience as a by-product of the anti-biotic society we live in. This hunger that is satiated by the nourishment that culture provides. Culture as deeply interwoven relationships. Culture as that which helps us navigate the intensity of being human. Culture as this deep responsibility we have with each other. Culture as the way we metabolize the hunger into beauty. Invitations: From Tad: 

In this episode, we are diving deep into the heart of the matter: CREATIVITY. We explore the 2 polarities most of us experience: Collapsed & unable to create. Where life feels a bit blue and the spark seems to be missing. Reactive & edging burnout. Where we create from adrenaline, and the only metric is more, faster, bigger.In any of these scenarios, our capacity to create is deeply compromised, and with that, our sanity and well-being. We explore why your creations are important and how restoring your relationship with your creative nature is one of the most powerful contributions you have to offer yourself and the world in the times we live in. Invitations: 

In this episode, I'm opening up about an experience I've had recently where I went beyond my limits and fell face-first in the mud. It was humbling. It was deeply revelatory. It was a lesson on the path I'm devoted to growing through. It was a very RAW refinement of the very core message I'm here to share. I'm getting into all the details in the episode, but one thing is for sure... There's NO empowerment without cyclicality. Invitations: 

In this episode, I had the pleasure of chatting with one of my dear mentors, Rev.

This land planted some powerful seeds in my heart. For more of my medicine:

In this episode, I had the enormous pleasure of having Rob Bell in the house! For the past 7 years, I've listened to his podcast and have seen him write and publish books, tour with Oprah, and fly around the world sharing his teachings. So when after all that "success", he took a different direction to self-publish his next creation, I felt a deep curiosity for the whole process he was going through. His new book "Where'd You Park Your Spaceship?" is the creation that unraveled his world. We talk about how the book came to be, the creation process, the dissolving and releasing of old identities, and the delight and discomfort of leaning into the unknown. For more of Rob's creations:

In this episode, I'm sharing with you how I'm choosing to intentionally wrap up this year and open the year ahead. There's an insight that I've been contemplating for a while now and it has inspired me to create a space where we can begin 2024 slowly, deeply, and intimately. This time will be the foundation for everything you will choose to nourish in the next year's cycle. Instead of resolutions or goals for next year, think about them as SEEDS. This is the time to nourish your inner soil, so the richness you cultivate during this time is the fertile ground for everything you want to see blooming later in the year.

In this episode, we will dive into what I call The Mighty Shake - that cocktail of fear and excitement we experience when we say yes to an idea. The nerve-wracking intense push and pull we experience and the tender places that contract in the face of creation are real. Expectation, fear of failure, perfectionism, rejection, judgment, hiding, posturing... They will naturally come up. Here we will explore one of the GREATEST myths that keep you from creating and what to do in the face of this tightness.

In this episode, I invite you to come with me on a contemplation around:The depth of self-care and how it's been co-opted by consumerism. How developing a relationship with your inner parents is HUGE in your development of emotional maturity.The role that community-care plays in the regulation of our nervous system and in the reviving of The Village within ourselves and in the world.For more of my medicine:

In this episode, I'm sharing with you my story and reclamation of Prayer. I've been through a sweet process of unlearning what catholicism taught me to believe about prayer and I've cultivated a deep, rich, and nourishing relationship with it. Prayer rooted in presence and expression. Prayer as my anchor for my love of humanity. Prayer as my anchor for my heart to remain open in the face of suffering.Prayer as a deep remembering. Prayer as a drumbeat that says... I AM HERE. I mentioned the Frequency Mandalas as my visual prayers, if you want to receive them every week in your inbox you can join my JuiceLetter here 

In this episode, I had the joy of talking with Kelly Roland. I found her through her YouTube channel years ago, and we sat to have a conversation that brought us to the depth of the creation process. She offered one of the most delicious definitions of embodiment I've ever heard and we shared our wisdom on why embodiment is such a vital part of the process of creating and how it is a potent antidote to any expression of impostor syndrome.

In this episode, I'm sharing with you my reflections on the past months while I went on hibernation. Earlier this week, with one of my mentors we were reflecting on the past year since we started working together and the insights and beauty that I was able to name was heart-blowing. I'm going deep into what the spiral path means for me and how I've been walking it in the times I've felt confident, alive, and grounded, and in the times I've been scared, pushing, and doubtful. For more of my medicine:

In this episode, I'm sharing with you what I've been observing in myself and those around me in the past weeks. We've been going through A LOT! There's a lot moving in our personal lives and in our collective experience and it's not always easy to hold space for it all. I'm sharing with you where I've been and the tools that have helped to digest what I'm experiencing and find some steadiness in the midst of it all. For more of my medicine:

In this episode, I had the pleasure of talking with Isabel Allen. I met her through the Orgasmic Oracle Mystery School, and since the first moment I heard her share a part of her experience, I felt it deep in my belly the desire to connect and weave together something! So this episode is our first exploration and we went into themes that are very alive for both of us right now: Our relationship with social media, creating in a world of consumerism and commodity, the power of entering cyclical time, her potent initiation during her time as a nurse in NYC during the pandemic, sacred space holding and her work with plant medicine and the wisdom they are here to bring in the times we are living. For more of Isabel's Medicine:

In this episode, I had the delight of talking with Ïara Dé Danann. We met through our mentor Rev. Briana Lynn in her Orgasmic Oracle Mystery School - and as I started learning more about her and what she loves, I knew I wanted to introduce her to you. We explored her work with cacao, her relationship to the medicine and her lineage, and how to honor ancestral wisdom without appropriation. It's a delicious conversation on growing our roots back into the Earth, through those who came before us and becoming an elder for those who will come after us. For more of Ïara's Medicine:

This is a fiery episode. The world has me feeling feisty, discombobulated, scared and enraged. It's essential to name it and not hyper-individualize the fact that the world is in shambles, that we are hurting, and that we have very little control. So the question is... How do we regulate our nervous systems in times of upheaval? BY MAKING ART! Take this episode as a deep calling from humanity for you to OWN your art and start sharing it with us. For more of my medicine:

In this episode, we are going deep into what it's like to be intimate with the energy of money. I recorded this episode as an act of giving myself my own medicine as I'm moving through a powerful choice that is moving a lot of pieces internally. This is an exploration of what it's like to witness how your inner world responds as it interacts with the energetic field of money. 

In this episode, I had the pleasure of talking with Iva about our journey together through Money Nectar. Iva is one of the beautiful humans I had the honor to mentor through this offering. We talked about what was alive for her when she chose to join, what pieces of the experience really touched her, how we are both committed to offering our creations from a clear space, and the many ways working together has helped us both breathe and soften in our relationship with Money.

It's been a phase of deep nourishment and POWERFUL insights and one of them is this reframe of the spiritual path. I received this through Orgasmic Oracle Mystery School and my mentor Rev. Briana Lynn and it has given me such a sense of relief that I wanted to share it with you.For more of my Medicine:

In this episode, I'm paying tribute to the land that I live in, The Netherlands.  This place holds a very particular energy related to the elements of Air & Water. It offers a very particular steadiness that has allowed me to grow and learn so much about Creation. It has also been the nourishing ground for some of my deepest relationships and it has given me some beautiful gifts. Here are some of the stories, contemplations, and observations I'm feeling called to share to commemorate my 9th year anniversary of coming here. For more of my Medicine:

In this episode, I'm sharing with you some key elements I've discovered in the process of bringing ideas into the world. The space of how we currently "create" is unsustainable, and infertile. We aren't really creating, we are producing. This is an invitation to examine the quality of our inner land and how to counter the pull of adrenaline, urgency, result & production with the pulse of juice, steadiness, process & creation. For more of my Medicine:
