Making art is risky, especially when we honor our cycles of creativity. In this episode we sit down with writer Sophie Strand as she shares her experiences with risk, navigating the pressure to create, listening to guidance from our web of non-humxn kin and how our relationships to land shape creative journey. Mentioned in this episode: Psychic Tour of Brooklyn Botanical Garden with Eliza Swann June 22Early Bird List for Creative Liberation Tarot ReadingsSophie's new book, The Flowering Wand: Rewilding the Sacred MasculineAbout the GuestSophie Strand is a writer based in the Hudson Valley who focuses on the intersection of spirituality, storytelling, and ecology. But it would probably be more authentic to call her a neo-troubadour animist with a propensity to spin yarns that inevitably turn into love stories. Give her a salamander and a stone and she'll write you a love story. Sophie was raised by house cats, puff balls, possums, raccoons, and an opinionated, crippled goose. In every neighborhood she's ever lived in she has been known as “the walker”. She believes strongly that all thinking happens interstitially – between beings, ideas, differences, mythical gradients.Her first book of essays The Flowering Wand: Lunar Kings, Lichenized Lovers, Transpecies Magicians, and Rhizomatic Harpists Heal the Masculine is forthcoming in 2022 from Inner Traditions. Her eco-feminist historical fiction reimagining of the gospels The Madonna Secret will also be published by Inner Traditions. Her books of poetry include Love Song to a Blue God (Oread Press) and Those Other Flowers to Come (Dancing Girl Press) and The Approach (The Swan). Her poems and essays have been published by Art PAPERS, The Dark Mountain Project, Poetry.org, Unearthed, Braided Way, Creatrix, Your Impossible Voice, The Doris, Persephone's Daughters, and Entropy. She has recently finished a work of historical fiction, The Madonna Secret, that offers an eco-feminist revision of the gospels. She is currently researching her next epic, a mythopoetic exploration of ecology and queerness in the medieval legend of Tristan and Isolde.Follow her on Facebook or on Instagram @cosmogyny.About the HostZaneta (they/them) is a queer, multi Brooklyn-based sound ritualist, listening educator, nature recordist, creativity activist, tarot reader, and podcast host.

Soul-searching and finding purposeRebecca’s childhood fascination with nature led her down the path to garden design, large-scale plant installations and entrepreneurship. Rebecca walks us through her very relatable experience and the twists and turns of her career path. While climbing the ladder as an audio book publisher in New York, Rebecca found herself unfulfilled. As the outward trappings of success grew, an internal voice grew louder pointing her back to her roots.Taking a leap of faithAfter a period of soul-searching, Rebecca left her corporate job and eventually landed a role as website editor for the Brooklyn Botanical Garden. Despite a significant pay cut, Rebecca began to thrive again while working with world-class master gardeners of horticulture and garden design. Slowly, Rebecca found a way to pivot her work directly into the gardens themselves and acquired a small following of visitors, board members and wealthy individuals seeking her guidance. It wasn’t long before word spread and demand for her work grew. The power of accessThis new-found success led her to start Greenery NYC, however not without the typical challenges small business owners face including scaling business and accessing capital. She recalls a key turning point when she began reaching out for help which in turn led her to much needed resources, mentors and the confidence to invest in herself and her company. Rebecca offers savvy advice to women entrepreneurs needing to overcome self-doubt when approaching professional resources for help. She advocates moving past the need to wait until you have all the answers or ‘enough experience’ before reaching out and accessing your potential
