Happy Satiated Saturday! How do you currently view symptoms or impulses in your body?Are they something to be fixed? Are they wrong or bad? Are you afraid of them when they increase? If you said yes to these questions, you might notice how does it feel in your body to view the body's symptoms and impulses as wrong, bad, fearful, and need of fixing? Something I've been teaching for a while is that your food coping mechanisms are not a problem. Often, what needs to be updated is how you respond to your body when it is sending you communication through a symptom or urge. What if you started to invite that reaction to the table and make it alright that this is what you're experiencing? In this week's Satiated Podcast episode, I chat with Ali Damron, Hormone Expert, Licensed Acupuncturist, and Certified Personal Trainer, about: Understanding neuroplastic painThe complexity of emotions in healingUpdating your relationship to stressUpdating your body's storyUnderstanding the role of fear in physical symptomsEmbracing discomfortAnxiety as a messenger of informationThe importance of naming your feelings and emotional check-insYou can also read the transcript to this week's episode ​here​. I just created a brand new workshop called Move Through Binge Urges and Binge Pitfalls with Somatic Eating®, and I will be teaching it live on Wednesday, April 30th at 1:30 pm ET.

Happy Satiated Saturday! When I started to learn about the mind-body connection through yoga, I dove deep into all things yoga. I became a bit of a yoga fanatic and that led me to learn about Ayurveda, which is yoga's sister science. Ayurveda is a whole-body system of medicine. Rather than seeing symptoms as problems to be fixed, Ayurveda approaches symptoms as imbalances that can be brought into balance with foods, movements, and self-care routines. Ayurveda gave me a new lens to see my body through. I got to experience the exquisite wisdom in my body. I learned that food can be an ally helping to bring me into balance rather than what diet culture taught me was that food was something to be controlled and to eat as little of it as possible. In this week's episode, I chat with Dr. Shivani Gupta, Ayurvedic practitioner and inflammation expert, about: What Ayurveda isThe 3 doshas and how to determine which one you might beWhat foods and actions support your unique doshaThe importance of eating seasonallyWhat we can learn from an Ayurvedic approach to food and our bodiesYou can also read the transcript to this week's episode ​here​: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/an-ayurvedic-perspective-on-food-as-medicineHope you all enjoy this week's episode!With Compassion and Empathy, Stephanie Mara FoxKeep in touch with Dr. Shivani: Website: www.shivanigupta.com Free 7-Day Inflammation Detox Challenge: https://www.7dayinflammationdetox.com/optin1641313075014Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr.shivanigupta/ Support the showKeep in touch with Stephanie Mara:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_stephaniemara/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stephaniemarafoxWebsite: https://www.stephaniemara.com/https://www.somaticeating.com/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephmara/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@stephaniemarafoxContact: support@stephaniemara.comSupport the show:Become a supporter: https://www.buzzsprout.com/809987/supportMy favorite water filter: https://www.pureeffectfilters.com/#a_aid=somaticeatingReceive 15% off my fave protein powder with code STEPHANIEMARA at checkout here: https://www.equipfoods.com/STEPHANIEMARAUse my Amazon Affiliate link when shopping on Amazon: https://amzn.to/448IyPl Special thanks to Bendsound for the music in this episode. ...

Happy Satiated Saturday! Have you ever noticed that the strongest memories are the ones where you felt the most presence and embodiment? I will never forget my first yoga class because when I was shaking while holding a plank, I couldn't be anywhere else but in my body. At the beginning of your eating recovery, you may feel disconnected and dissociated. Your body has felt like an unsafe place to inhabit. Food has served as a wise strategy to create distance from your body or a micro-moment of feeling alive. Creating safety with food is less about food and more about expanding your capacity to be in your body while you eat, feel, and live. Embodiment is often the missing piece in healing your food coping mechanisms. In this week's episode, I chat with Ann Saffi Biasetti, Transpersonal Psychologist and Eating Disorder Expert, about: What embodiment isThe importance of creating safe and comfortable embodying experiencesThe process of embodimentCreating a language for describing body sensations and emotionsHow embodiment can impact food behaviorsWhat the ongoing journey of embodiment looks likeYou can also read the transcript to this week's episode here: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/embodiment-in-eating-recoveryThe next Somatic Eating® Program starts on May 22nd.

Happy Satiated Saturday! In April of 2022, I went to Disney World with my family and came back with covid. It was, unfortunately, the Delta strain that left me with long covid. I had to use an oxygen concentrator while I slept for about a year while my lungs healed through nebulized steroids and inhalers. I also had the lovely long covid symptom of losing my ability to swallow where I was on an all-liquid way of eating for almost two years. It's been quite a journey! While there are a few long covid symptoms I still navigate, I am now able to chew and swallow foods again, can sleep soundly, and generally feel much more grounded and stable in my body.Along the way, I learned so much about how the body works and that food behaviors are multi-faceted and influenced by many different internal factors. In this week's Satiated Podcast episode, I chat with Lily Spechler, Long Covid Registered Dietician, about: Our own long covid healing journeysWhat can happen in the body after getting long covidNavigating histamine, mcas, dysautonomia issuesHow food and supplements can play a role in increasing or decreasing bodily symptomsThe non-food reasons you may overeat or gain or lose weightAnd a lot more!Even if you don't have long covid there are so many gems in this episode to take away. You can also read the transcript to this week's episode ​here​: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/healing-from-long-covid-and-chronic-illnessThe next Somatic Eating® Program starts on Thursday, May 22nd.

I'd love to hear from you drop me a text!Welcome to The Scrumptious WomanIn this powerful episode, I sit down with Nikki Wetherell, a somatic sexologist and trainee counsellor, for an intimate conversation about trauma, healing, sexuality, and the journey to authenticity. Nikki shares her deeply personal story of navigating sexual trauma, birth trauma, coming out later in life, and exploring polyamory while maintaining a loving marriage and family life.Episode Summary: Nikki opens up about her path to becoming a somatic sexologist and her belief in the power of combining traditional therapy with bodywork. We discuss the importance of safe touch, the wisdom of the body, and how trauma can resurface during significant life events like childbirth. Nikki bravely shares her experience of remembering and processing sexual trauma, and how feeling truly safe for the first time allowed her to explore and acknowledge her queer identity in her late 30s.Key Takeaways:The vital importance of trusting your body's wisdom and finding practitioners who will listen to and honour that wisdomHow feeling safe can unlock deeper understanding of ourselves and our authentic identitiesThe complex journey of coming out later in life while maintaining existing relationships and family dynamicsThe challenges of navigating polyamory when partners are monogamousThe significance of having proper support and poly-informed therapists when exploring non-traditional relationship structuresNikki reminds us that healing isn't linear - it's more like an infinity sign where we revisit similar themes but with greater awareness each time. Her story beautifully illustrates how authenticity, though challenging, is worth pursuing despite societal conditioning and expectations.Resources: Connect with Nikki:Instagram: @CelestialSoulCoachWebsite: celestialsoul.co.ukIf you enjoyed this episode, please share it with anyone who might benefit from hearing this powerful conversation about healing, authenticity, and embracing all parts of ourselves. Join me next time, for another taboo-breaking, boundary-pushing episode of The Scrumptious Woman.Much LoveJuliette x  Find out more about Juliette Karaman here: https://feelfullyyou.com Follow Juliette on instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/juliettekaraman/ Follow Juliette on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/juliette.karamanvanschaardenburg Don't forget to Rate and leave a review so more people can tune in and the ripple effect spreads further.

Happy Satiated Saturday! I take a different approach to body image healing. I apply the same explorations I do with food from a somatic perspective to body image. I started to wonder why is it that you can look in the mirror and love what you see one day and then later that day or the next day look in the mirror and feel like everything needs to change. Your body did not change within 24 hours. The answer is your nervous system. You will perceive your body differently based on your nervous system state. Often body image worries increase when you don't feel safe. In this week's Satiated Podcast episode, I chat with Deb Schachter, author and Boston's leading clinicians in body image and eating disorder recovery, about: Navigating bad body image momentsThe role of relationships in body imageWhat your body is trying to tell you through body image concernsAn internal family systems perspective on body imageThe importance of connection and community on this healing pathYou can also read the transcript to this week's episode ​here​: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/bad-body-image-momentsWith Compassion and Empathy, Stephanie Mara FoxKeep in touch with Deb: Website: https://debschachterlicsw.com/ https://bodyimageinsideout.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bodyimageinsideout/ Book-Body Image Inside Out: https://amzn.to/4hQdLNaSupport the showKeep in touch with Stephanie Mara:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_stephaniemara/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stephaniemarafoxWebsite: https://www.stephaniemara.com/https://www.somaticeating.com/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephmara/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@stephaniemarafoxContact: support@stephaniemara.comSupport the show:Become a supporter: https://www.buzzsprout.com/809987/supportMy favorite water filter: https://www.pureeffectfilters.com/#a_aid=somaticeatingReceive 15% off my fave protein powder with code STEPHANIEMARA at checkout here: https://www.equipfoods.com/STEPHANIEMARAUse my Amazon Affiliate link when shopping on Amazon: https://amzn.to/448IyPl Special thanks to Bendsound for the music in this episode. ...

Happy Satiated Saturday! Somatic practices have become a buzzword as the new supplement you can take to “calm” yourself down, to shake off a trauma response, and maybe not binge eat. They can feel alluring. When you're struggling with food, you just want an answer. There can be panic and desperation at willing to try anything to make sure you won't binge again. You may find yourself trying to shake, or tap, or dunk your face in ice-cold water. This may feel calming for a few minutes and then you watch yourself walk into the kitchen and grab food.Gah!

Happy Satiated Saturday! Something I've been noticing is how much we're taught to see any symptom as a sign that something is "wrong" and that we have to embark on a "healing journey" to "fix" the symptom. For a moment, try this out on your body. Tell it that there is something wrong that you need to fix. What do you notice? How does your body respond to that?Striving to “heal” your body sends the message to your body that you are in danger. Your body activates your sympathetic nervous system and takes all your internal resources away from repair toward survival. You cannot heal in a fight or flight state. To decrease any bodily symptom or food coping mechanism, you have to stop thinking of yourself as broken and needing to be fixed. In this week's Satiated Podcast episode, I chat with Andrea Nakayama, Functional Medicine Nutritionist, educator, and founder of Functional Nutrition Alliance about: The gaps in traditional healthcareShifting perspective of a "healing journey"Misconceptions of nutritionThe basics of a health foundationUnderstanding the body's signalsThe three tiers of nutritional masteryRole of Narrative Medicine in recoverySupporting the body's natural healingYou can also read the transcript to this week's episode ​here​: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/narrative-medicine-in-understanding-your-bodyWith Compassion and Empathy, Stephanie Mara FoxKeep in touch with Andrea:Websites: https://www.andreanakayama.com/https://www.fxnutrition.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/andreanakayama/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/ReplenishPDXFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/AndreaNakayama.pageLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andreanakayama/Support the showKeep in touch with Stephanie Mara:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_stephaniemara/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stephaniemarafoxWebsite: https://www.stephaniemara.com/https://www.somaticeating.com/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephmara/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@stephaniemarafoxContact: support@stephaniemara.comSupport the show:Become a supporter: https://www.buzzsprout.com/809987/supportMy favorite water filter: https://www.pureeffectfilters.com/#a_aid=somaticeatingReceive 15% off my fave protein powder with code STEPHANIEMARA at checkout here: https://www.equipfoods.com/STEPHANIEMARAUse my Amazon Affiliate link when shopping on Amazon: https://amzn.to/448IyPl Special thanks to Bendsound for the music in this episode. ...

They explore deep-seated fears surrounding death, how modern society is distanced from it, and the importance of having open conversations about mortality - of humans and other animals. They also dive into the idea of conscious living and dying, the discrepancies in generational attitudes toward death, and how engaging with the natural cycles of life can expand awareness. Reflective of cultural beliefs and personal experiences, this episode encourages listeners to open up and discuss these difficult yet enriching topics.MORE ALI MEZEY:Website:  www.alimezey.comPersonal Geometry® and the Magic of Mat Work Course information:www.alimezey.com/personal-geometry-foundationsTransgenerational Healing Films: www.constellationarts.comMORE FLORENCE POPOFF:Website: www.gamriegardens.comInstagram: @gamriegardensMORE KAREN BELLONE:The Seventh Sense website: www.theseventhsense.orgFilm Website: www.kbfilms.comBIO:Founder, Doula, Educator: Karen Bellone, MFA, is a Certified End-of-Life Doula and Death Educator. She is the founder of The Seventh Sense in NY's Hudson Valley, where she is an integral part of a worldwide community that is reigniting the wisdom of death within our modern lives. She is also founder of Exit Strategy for Dying, a monthly Death, Arts and Culture Readers supporting a resource hub to educate and refocus the narrative around death and grief through the lens of arts, culture, storytelling and innovation. Prior to embracing her passion for end-of-life work, Karen has had a long career as an award-winning filmmaker and internationally collected photographer. She received a BFA in Film Production from New York University, and did graduate work with the world-renowned Actors Studio, through their inaugural program at the New School for Social Research.After training and becoming certified with INELDA (International End of Life Doula Association), Karenworked with an innovative hospice in Los Angeles where her skills as a death doula were developed and broadened. In addition to working with patients in various stages of their life journeys, she was responsible for training the volunteer staff, nurses and other hospice and medical professionals to bring more understanding, humanity and compassion into their work with the dying. She spoke regularly with groups, such as the Alzheimer's Project, about the role of the doula at end-of-life, and the space that can be held to bring about ‘a good death'. She believes strongly in the ability to demystify and assuage the fear that surrounds death in our culture and to foster safe passage for the dying, as well as to aid the families and loved ones through grief and bereavement.As a visual artist and storyteller, Karen acquired a multitude of skills throughout her career that unlocked a deep passion for the healing power of visual and auditory perception on human consciousness. She integrated these strengths and resources into tools to bring aid and comfort for those imminently facing their mortality. Working with somatic and sensory awareness, Karen utilizes visual, sound and meditation therapy, personalized guided imagery, and commemoration of the sacred in the form of ritual, legacy and memory work, in order to bring comfort - physically, emotionally, spiritually to celebrate and commemorate the life of the individual. In addition to her ongoing private practice, Karen is currently directing a feature film about living American artist Michelle Stuart, whose work also engages with the elemental and ineffable nature of existence.RESOURCES:Edgar Allan PoeExit strategy for dying (Karen's monthly newsletter)All the Little DeathsAllen GinsbergKaren's Episode A 'Good Death', Death Doula: Embracing Life & Mortality PART ONEIn Buddhism, death is viewed as a natural part of the life cycle and an opportunity for spiritual growth. The concept is deeply intertwined with the notions of impermanence (anicca) and rebirth (samsara). Rather than being an end, death is seen as a transition, where the energy of one's consciousness continues in a new form, influenced by karma—the cumulative effects of one's actions, thoughts, and intentions. The ultimate goal is to break free from the cycle of death and rebirth through enlightenment, which means reaching a state of liberation (nirvana) where the mind is free from suffering and attachment. Mindfulness and acceptance of death are considered essential practices, as they help individuals live more fully and prepare for the moment of death with clarity and peace.Green burial is an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional burial practices that emphasizes simplicity, sustainability, and minimal impact on the earth. It typically involves using biodegradable materials, avoiding embalming chemicals, and opting for natural settings like conservation areas or designated green cemeteries. The goal is to allow the body to decompose naturally, returning nutrients to the soil, and preserving the surrounding ecosystem.Lambing season in Scotland, typically from March to May, is a busy and vital time on farms, as thousands of lambs are born each spring. This period is crucial for the meat industry, with farmers carefully tending to both ewes and newborns to ensure their health and growth. While lambing is often seen as a symbol of renewal and the start of spring, it is also a time of intense labor and long days for shepherds, who balance the joy of new life with the practical realities of raising livestock for food production.A Dream Within a DreamBY EDGAR ALLAN POETake this kiss upon the brow!And, in parting from you now,Thus much let me avow —You are not wrong, who deemThat my days have been a dream;Yet if hope has flown awayIn a night, or in a day,In a vision, or in none,Is it therefore the less gone?

In this minisode, I'm sharing insights from the first week of my philosophy class at a local yoga studio, where we explored how it feels in the body when you're living in alignment with your dharma—or soul's purpose. Our minds can run in endless circles with unhelpful thoughts, but our bodies never lie. They act as truth-tellers, revealing what's really going on beneath the surface. I'll guide you through an exercise we did in class to help you reconnect with your body's wisdom by visualizing a moment of joy and tuning into how it felt. These sensations can serve as a compass, helping you recognize when you're on the right path. Living in alignment doesn't mean everything will be easy, but even in hard moments, you'll feel a sense of flow, creativity, and presence that lets you know you're exactly where you need to be. Join me for this reflective conversation on how your body can guide you toward your most authentic and purposeful life. Your body reveals emotional truths and subconscious beliefs. Living in alignment with your purpose brings feelings of flow and presence, even during challenges. Visualizing joyful moments can help you access your body's wisdom. Your body knows when you're on the right path, even if your mind doesn't. If you're ready to uncover your soul's purpose and live with more joy, peace, and meaning, I offer a 12-week one-on-one coaching program designed to help you reconnect with yourself.

As mothers, we truly get to experience the magic and miracle of the female body as we carry our babies. Growing another human being makes us bring attention to our bodies in a profound way.     But at the same time, that beautiful experience gets interrupted in the birthing process, especially when it's a traumatic one. Because the process of having a baby is governed so heavily by the mechanics and medicine of it, we can lose that connection with our bodies and struggle to reignite it. Perhaps you stop feeling safe in your body.     Or you escape into your brain to make sense of it all. Or you start feeling like you didn't deliver (pun intended) on what's expected of you as a woman.     Bringing attention to our body wisdom allows us to reclaim our bodies, but first, we have to grieve. We have to move through the sadness and feelings of loss in order to heal. If we learn to be with grief, our internal landscape expands and creates room for more joy, love, connection and self-love.     How do we heal ourselves through giving our bodies attention? How do we work through the aftermath of a difficult birthing process? In this episode, we're joined by our good friend and collaborator Abby Hildebrand. She shares her journey into motherhood and how she's reconnected with her own body.    Things You'll Learn In This Episode     -Reignite the conversation with your body   As women, society gives us so many reasons to not feel safe in our bodies. How do we reclaim the connection and find the safety in ourselves?    -Birth and rebirth   Having a baby is a beautiful experience but a traumatic birthing process can leave us feeling like strangers to our own inner landscape. How does this emerge and show up?    -The friendliest way to be with grief   There's a huge difference between riding the wave of grief and picking at a scab to continue the suffering. How do we let the grief move through us?  Guest Bio  Abby Hildebrand is a trauma-informed Breathwork Facilitator, Perinatal Mental Health Advocate, Emotional Transformation Guide, speaker, author and CEO of Wellness Creek Consulting. As an experienced human connection and development leader at a successful engineering firm, Abby thought motherhood would be a breeze in comparison. After navigating the ups and downs of postpartum anxiety and depression, she has dug deep into what creates massive emotional transformation and is on a mission to empower mothers everywhere to take control of their own health and wellness, one breath at a time.    About Your Hosts  Kathlyn Hendricks, Ph.D., BC-DMT*, is an evolutionary catalyst and freelance mentor who has been a pioneer in the field of body intelligence and conscious loving for over forty years.

Happy Satiated Saturday! Satiated Podcast is back!!!! One thing you're going to receive in the upcoming interviews is more exploration of nutrition. When I went through my Master's Degree in Somatic Psychotherapy, I was consistently surprised that there was no class on nutrition. This feels like a missing piece in the therapeutic world. I feel therapists would benefit from being aware that a person's nutritional status can also be contributing to their symptoms. This includes one of the many reasons why you might be binging. Binge eating isn't just a reaction to emotional or nervous system dysregulation. It can also be triggered by nutrient depletion from living in a trauma response. When your body is stuck in a state of chronic stress, it tries to compensate for the lost nutrients and minerals. Binging is your body's best strategy to get its nutritional needs met.In this week's Satiated Podcast episode, I talk about: the connection between trauma and nutrient depletion what nutrients get depleted because of ongoing high cortisol levelsa baby step you can take to start to be in a new relationship with nutrition You can also read the transcript to this week's episode ​here​: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/trauma-response-and-your-binge-eatingAs a reminder, doors to the Somatic Eating® Program are officially open!!!

He was 61.Born November 21, 1928, in Waco, Texas, Hanna was the founder of the Novato Institute for Somatic Research and Training in Novato, California and the editor of Somatics: Magazine-Journal of the Bodily Arts and Sciences. He also authored seven books, perhaps best know for Bodies in Revolt: A Primer in Somatic Thinking (1970) and Somatics (1989).Hanna is survived by his wife, Eleanor Criswell, and three children, daughters Tad Hanna and Wendell Zitelman , and son Michael Hanna.As an undergraduate at Texas Christian University from which he received a bachelor's in 1949, Hanna initially thought about going into theology. He continued studies at the University of Chicago, later receiving a Bachelor of Divinity and then a doctorate in philosophy.Hanna taught in Europe and several colleges throughout the U.S. At his memorial service held, Aug. 12, several people referred to his popularity as a teacher. One speaker recalled an incident while Hanna was teaching at the University of Florida. He was having car trouble and was going to be late getting to his class. He called his secretary as asked her to notify the class that he would be there but would arrive late. When he did arrive an hour and a half late, the class of 700 yoga students was still waiting for him in the ROTC quadrangle where the class met. Truly he was an engaging teacher. His commitment and involvement with his material, as well as his skill at communicating it, inspired his students.In his early seminal books, he posed philosophical questions about humanity, i.e. what is it to be human, to be embodied, to be free? Those questions run like themes though his work. They were questions he never ceased exploring.In the early 1970's, after reading Bodies in Revolt, a well-known member of the bodywork world suggested he meet and study with Moshe Feldenkrais. As a result, Hanna studied with Feldenkrais in 1973 and 1974, and organized the first four-year Feldenkrais training program in the U.S. in 1975. He also founded the Novato Institute in 1975.Hanna considered himself a writer, philosopher and teacher, not a bodyworker. He called the hands-on work Clinical Somatic Education. It was his strong belief that real change can only occur from within and not be imposed on someone from the outside. It is the difference between working on someone and working with someone. The goal was not to change tissue but to restore awareness and voluntary control over the sensory-motor system.He believed that people were affected by a condition he termed sensory motor amnesia (SMA), and his work was designed to correct this. The concept of SMA is that if you lose your awareness of a part of your body, either through trauma or habituation, you lose your ability o move that part. Restoring awareness restores voluntary control. This can then be reinforced with simple movement patterns similar to Feldenkrais movement.Hanna often referred to F.M. Alexander and Feldenkrais as important teachers for him. According to Hanna, Feldenkrais has made a tremendously important discovery about body function, but hadn't fully explored the implications of that discovery himself. Hanna used the analogy that Feldenkrais had opened the door to a vast new territory, but had not gone inside to explore. Hanna had gone through the door and was exploring this new territory in light of recent development in neurophysiology, and the implications were breathtaking. Feldenkrais had said, and Hanna reiterated, that there is no limit what people can learn.In an editorial last fall/winter, Hanna wrote about human mortality, analogizing it with his flowers:“There was only one difference between the flowers and me: the impatiens affirmed the eternity of life, and I did not. The impatiens were pure in the way they lived, and I was sullied with contradiction…I realized that, all things considered, it was the impatiens who lived life to the fullest, whereas I was living my life, hamstrung. It was not I who was superior, but they…Is total affirmation of life and growth the highest good, or is it some kind of sinful ignorance? Should I live awaiting the end that I have envisaged, or should I live expecting only life and only future?“Who is wiser? I, or the impatiens? I think the impatiens are wiser. They assume only what they know and feel. They do not assume something they do not know and feel…“And so I water my impatiens this summer and into the autumn. And I gaze at their happy innocence. They are my teachers, just as my mother is my teacher. And the water sinks down into the soil, giving life. It is the same soil from which I sprang and my mother sprang. And it is the same soil that will receive us both.“If I trusted it to give us life at the beginning, I might just as well trust it to give us life at the end. In that way, I have joined in a wisdom that tells me that my mother, my flowers, and I myself are now together and somehow will always be.”- Victoria Carmona, a student of Hanna's, contributed to this report.From Massa...

How are human bodies extensions of the lands we live on? How do we remember threads of connection interwoven in the earth? How might deepening our elemental connections assist us in times of uncertainty?In the past few months, I have been collaborating with Marika Clymer and Carolyn Egan on a zine project, lovingly named Bodies of Land. This issue is an ode to the energetics of Summer 2024 seen through the lens of the body, plants, and planets, and it's incredibly gorgeous. It's available for digital download here.In this episode, I invited Marika and Carolyn to explore he themes that run through the zine, including the land as a body, the human body as an extension of the land itself, and how astrology can bring us closer to our inherent connection and belonging with the rest of creation.We also discussed how knowledge can become pathways to deepen connections rather than barriers to deny connections with life, being with uncertainty, and the energetics of fire.We also explored the behind the scenes process of creating the zine, including how the three of us ended up collaborating on this zine, and how the summer has immersed us in experiences that deepened our embodiment of the themes of the zine. Carolyn and Marika have taught me so much through the generous sharing of their perspectives and their presence in the process of creating this zine.If you resonate with our discussions, we invite you to check out the zine here.Links: Marika's shop, where you can get super cool merchandisesCarolyn's shop, where you can get potent herbal medicines and guides If you enjoyed this podcast, consider booking a reading with me.

Happy Satiated Saturday! I wish financial literacy was taught in schools earlier on in life. I've had so many conversations with others about the deep shame and personal judgment that can arise when you feel unclear about how to navigate your money life. And how does this connect with food?Well, often how we interact with one area of our life is how we respond to all other areas.
