A year ago, I almost completely gave up on my work. Emerging from the early years of motherhood and feeling my creative spark again, I felt motivated to get back into the deeper aspects of my sacred work.So, in a flash of creative impulse, I announced a new program to the world in the place we announce things these days: on Instagram. It was received mostly with a good deal of excitement and interest, and…it was also received with some intense criticism - primarily in the form of snarky comments and DMs from complete strangers who were making a lot of assumptions about me. Assumptions without curiosity. Assumptions wrapped in judgment. Over a period of 72 hours, I received wave after wave of comments that felt challenging to hold on my own.In this episode, I tell the story of grief, shame and how being in sacred council helped me heal and grow through this experience.Tune in to hear more from me on:The grief of feeling misunderstood and shamed in a parasocial format, which left me raw and confused.The divine timing of an in-person retreat with an intimate council of women space holders, and the cacao ceremony that held me at my most vulnerable.Emerging lighter and less bothered and leaving that retreat weekend with a renewed vision in the purpose and power of this work I do.Everything I learned from that rupture and the gratitude I feel now for what happened.The one thing that had me not throw in the towel and heal from this experience: being held in a sacred council.My own council BEHELD which is now open for enrollment again.Resources + LinksFind out more about BEHELD, an intimate council of space holdersMy book, Root and Ritual: Timeless Ways to Connect to Land, Lineage, Community, and the SelfConnect with me on Instagram @beccapiastrelliTimestamps[0:00] Introduction [2:45] Sharing the story of almost giving up my sacred work after receiving criticism [9:23] The divine timing of an in-person retreat weekend [9:50] Unfurling during the cacao ceremony [12:06] The power of sacred councils [15:31] Continuing despite challenges and feeling tender [16:02] The offering it all started with and hosting it again [17:16] Join BEHELD - a sacred council for space holders

A lot has occurred for me in 2023 - as I think is true for every year, but perhaps this time around it is a little more visible and this is probably why I received the beautiful question of the lessons I've learned this past year. So, I am using the reflective energy of the outer and inner season of Winter I'm currently finding myself in and sharing with you, in this episode, the three lessons I have learned over the course of 2023.Tune in to hear more from me on the three lessons I've learned this past year:I can do anything, but I can't do everything. As a multi-passionate manifesting generator with ADHD, I get lit up and motivated by so many new ideas. But how do you navigate that with limited capacity, in a society that glorifies production? A few of my coping strategies are compartmentalizing, sleeping on new ideas, and exploring how I can feel accomplished and satiated by what I do day in day out whilst also taking care of myself.The vision takes time. More time than you think! It's not for nothing I teach about how slowness can be the antidote to our suffering. I have so much compassion for the me who gets uncomfortable in the liminal, especially around our renovation. I ask myself: ‘Can I make this messy middle feel easeful in some way?', which is where ritual comes in.Get slow and quiet so I can get clear on my highest priorities. Last year I had the deep realisation that my biggest priority wasn't my business, or the farm or the renovation. It was my first home: my body, and my health. Even though it was really hard, I learned how to choose to make it my focus to take care of my body on a weekly and daily basis.Resources + LinksMy book, Root and Ritual: Timeless Ways to Connect to Land, Lineage, Community, and the SelfConnect with me on Instagram @beccapiastrelliTimestamps[00:00] Introducing the question of what lessons I've learned over the past year[5:00] How a deer carcass is showing me the real deal of somatic embodiment of the wild experience and the winter medicine in that[07:30] The analogy of the ascending spiral and revisiting inner work when I'm well resourced[08:30] Lesson 1: I can do anything, but I can't do everything[11:00] I have a much more limited capacity since I had my child and the pandemic[18:58] Lesson 2: The big vision takes time[24:00] How nature is teaching me to be patient with our renovation[25:41] Lesson 3:  Get slow and quiet so I can get clear on my highest priorities[30:15] The impact of celebrating my health wins

Sound Matters episode #127 features Tom's conversation with Nathan James from the supergroup Iconic and the UK's Inglorious. Admittedly, I didn't know much about vocalist Nathan James until diving into some research about him and listening to his previous records with Inglorious. Great singer with an ear for melody... this alone is worth checking him out. The new supergroup Iconic's debut album Second Skin also featuring Michael Sweet, Joel Hoekstra, Marco Mendoza, and Tommy Aldridge is a cut above many of these types of projects put together by Frontiers Records. With the caliber of talent assembled here, my expectations were high. They did not disappoint. This album rocks, and has the hooks present throughout to keep you coming back. I was sure what to expect with Nathan but found him to be charming and transparent. We dig into his old band, this new band, his approach to songwriting and his career, as well his what he feels is misunderstood about him as a person. Don't miss this one!> Tom's the 1st and #1> Second Skin title> Singing with Michael Sweet> Recording the album at a distance> Sweet's biggest compliment to Nathan> About the song "All I Need"> His evolution as a vocalist, performer, and songwriter> The need to buy a physical copy of the album> Tommy Aldridge and the video shoot> The funniest guy in the band> His view of the position he's in today> Wishes he was 20 yrs old in 1986> Other song Nathan co-wrote on the Iconic album> How this project came to exist> The moment he decided to become a musician for a career> Things he's learned about the music business so far> On being very deliberate and smart about career choices> Something people misunderstand about him> Advice he'd give his younger selfConnect with Nathan James:Facebook: www.facebook.com/nathanjamesingTwitter: www.twitter.com/thenathanjamesInstagram: www.instagram.com/thenathanjamesConnect with TOM LEU:Websites: www.SoundMatters.tv | www.TomLeu.com | www.16Imaging.com Official Facebook Page: www.facebook.com/tomleu2Twitter: www.twitter.com/tomleu (@tomleu)Instagram: www.instagram.com/tomleu (@tomleu)YouTube: www.tomleu.tv SOUND MATTERS Radio Episode #127 >> www.SoundMatters.tv/sm127/
