In this inspiring conversation, Emily sits down with Emily Race-Newmark to explore "revillaging"—the practice of returning to a village paradigm and creating the community connection we're truly meant for. Emily shares her beautiful story of trusting intuition to find their home, including the moment she felt nudged to make muffins for neighbors, which led to discovering their perfect house through prayer, ritual, and following sacred inner wisdom.
You'll discover why community building is more about who we're being than what we're doing, how revillaging is a creative, relational, and spiritual practice that honors our cyclical nature, and what her "moon school" experiment looks like—gathering families around new and full moons. Emily helps us understand why the constructs of doing it all ourselves or proving our worth through forceful pushing do not serve us, and how releasing relational mistrust opens us to the village life we're destined for.
This conversation offers guidance for women feeling isolated and overwhelmed by trying to do everything alone, and provides a vision for calling community back into being through cyclical wisdom, ritual practices, and feminine receiving. Perfect for anyone feeling called to build community but unsure where to start, or ready to shift from the depleting individual paradigm to collective connection.
What if your most powerful spiritual practice didn't require carved-out time, but instead happened while you're brushing your teeth, making your morning tea, or driving to work?
In this episode, I explore the practice of "layering"—bringing intention and awareness to the activities you're already doing every day. Drawing on my childhood love of making "soups" from gathered ingredients, I share how to take the raw materials of your ordinary moments and infuse them with meaning.
You'll learn specific practices for stirring intention into your beverages, braiding awareness into your hair, weaving resonance into transitions, and creating consciousness from the breath between activities. These aren't additions to your already-full life—they're ways to transform what you're already doing into sacred practice.

You've been taught that real work is measurable, visible, productive. But what about the work of attuning to your deepest purpose? What about pausing to ask "does this resonate?" before saying yes?
In this episode, I explore why resonance work—the practice of recognizing your body's wisdom about what aligns with your purpose—isn't a luxury but the most productive work available to you. I address the real systemic barriers that make this work harder for women in survival contexts, while affirming that your capacity for resonance belongs to you regardless of your circumstances.
You'll learn why your dissonant nos matter as much as your resonant yeses, how this work moves you through life's sacred passages, and a simple Resonance Check-In ritual you can begin using today. Plus, I share how resonance work connects to navigating major life transitions with clarity and power.
In this profound conversation, Emily sits down with Samantha Feast to explore matrescence—the often forgotten wisdom of transitioning into and living the journey of motherhood. Samantha shares her transformative experience of being nine months postpartum, feeling lost and anxious, and discovering through feminine embodiment coaching that "returning to the feminine feels like home." She opens up about how this journey has been a deepening, again and again, over seven years.
You'll discover why understanding matrescence reveals the cyclical nature of motherhood—how our brains are literally rewired during pregnancy and birth to constantly learn and grow with our children. Samantha introduces the Maternal Mirror Deck, her beautiful creation designed to help mothers reconnect with their inner wisdom during this profound transition. She shares her wisdom about how the answers lie within, and why the heroine's journey is always a journey inward—that coming home to ourselves is the key to unlocking the doors we're trying to open as mothers.
This conversation offers gentle guidance for mothers navigating the external unknowns of motherhood by trusting their deep inner womb wisdom. Perfect for mothers feeling lost or disconnected, women preparing for motherhood, or anyone supporting mothers through this sacred life transition.
In this transformative conversation, Emily sits down with Adriana Tantau to explore what it means to truly listen to your body's wisdom. Adriana shares her powerful journey of discovering body awareness at age 35 when she became sober and was diagnosed with Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD). She opens up about how her meditation practice became essential for navigating PMDD and reconnecting with her body's intelligence, and how this reconnection after giving birth helped her feel her power come back online—like finding her compass again.
You'll discover why learning to listen to your body prevents burnout while creating sustainable flow, and learn Adriana's simple check-in practice: hand on heart, three breaths, and asking "what do I need right now?" This conversation challenges the cultural message that we need external experts more than our own inner knowing, and offers a powerful approach to trusting that your body is speaking wisdom to you all the time. Perfect for women ready to stop pushing through and start listening deeply to their body's intelligence.
Connect with Adriana on social media via @adriana.tantau or on her podcast The Cycle Codes (The PMDD Podcast).

You meditate, journal, meal prep, and follow all the wellness advice. You're checking every box. So why do you feel so depleted?
In this episode, I explore the crucial distinction between visible habits (the routines we track and optimize) and invisible habits (the unconscious patterns that are actually exhausting us). Through examples from my work as a ritual and rhythm coach, I reveal how women unknowingly override their body's wisdom, force rhythms that no longer serve them, and perform productivity instead of honoring their natural presence.
You'll learn how to identify your own invisible habits, why awareness is the first step toward transformation, and what becomes possible when you stop fighting your intuitive flow and start trusting it. This episode offers both understanding and permission to stop forcing what doesn't fit.
What happens when you stop analyzing your way to decisions and start trusting your body's wisdom? In this powerful recorded session, I guide women through movement, joy, and sacred silliness to shake loose the calcified stories that keep us playing small.
This isn't just about dancing—it's about accessing the embodied intelligence that knows what your mind hasn't figured out yet. We explore how old stories pile up like clutter we step over daily, and how movement can literally shake free what no longer serves.
Perfect for any woman ready to make decisions from aliveness instead of limitation, and trust her body's knowing over endless mental loops.

You'll discover how to shift from fighting your natural rhythms to embracing them, practice self-mastery through catching limiting thought patterns, and why true success looks nothing like what we've been taught. Yvette opens up about speaking truth to power and how it taught her the transformative power of authentic expression.

Discover how your heart generates an electromagnetic field measurable several meters away, why 20 seconds of genuine touch can rewire your nervous system, and how conscious embrace triggers a biochemical symphony that reduces stress hormones while increasing connection. I'll share the Coherence Embrace ritual - a simple practice for bringing more healing touch into your daily life.
In our increasingly digital world, we're experiencing a crisis of connection. But the medicine is simpler than we think: understanding that your arms carry healing power and learning to hug with sacred intention.
Includes practical ritual, scientific research, and an invitation to transform your relationships through conscious presence.
In this powerful episode, I explore the profound difference between holy rage and petty anger, and why understanding this distinction is crucial for women reclaiming their complete wholeness. Discover how anger exists on a sacred spectrum—from righteous fury that disrupts unjust systems to petty irritation that simply wants to vent without purpose.
I share why all emotions, including our fiercest ones, are valuable messengers and how the parts of ourselves we've been taught to suppress are often exactly what's required for our most potent joy and flourishing. Learn to distinguish between sacred rage that serves love and justice versus destructive anger that tears down without building up.
This episode includes a practical ritual for locating your holy fire and channeling it toward positive change, plus guidance on the mature versus immature expression of this powerful emotion. If you've ever been told your anger makes you "too much" or if you struggle with guilt about feeling furious when you witness injustice, this episode offers permission to honor your righteous fury as sacred medicine.

What if burnout isn't about giving too much, but about trying to give what you don't actually possess? In this episode, I explore Parker Palmer's revolutionary insight that burnout reveals "the nothingness from which we were trying to give in the first place."
I'll share why burnout signals we've been offering false gifts - presents that look like love but come from our need to prove ourselves rather than authentic care. We'll explore the difference between giving from our organic reality versus forcing gifts that aren't truly ours to give, and why only gifts that grow within us can renew both ourselves and others.
You'll discover how to recognize when you're violating your own nature in the name of nobility, and I'll guide you through an exercise to uncover the unique gifts that are truly yours to offer - those sacred offerings that emerge from your authentic essence rather than depletion.
This episode is for the woman who's exhausted from trying to be everything to everyone and ready to discover the renewable offerings that flow naturally from her true nature. It's time to give from fullness, not emptiness.

In this transformative episode, I explore the counterintuitive wisdom of surrender as a powerful access point to what we're truly longing for.

Learn why neuroscience shows that loosening our grip on specific outcomes actually expands our perception and creativity. Through practical rituals and embodied practices, this episode offers a pathway to experience the paradox at the heart of sacred surrender: sometimes the most direct route to what we desire comes through releasing our attachment to how it must arrive.
