Welcome back, friends.
In our new episode, I am taking the time to address what is currently happening in Los Angeles, specifically, as the unrest and resistance against mass deportations continues. It has been a difficult week, but what we're seeing unfold has been happening over the course of many months.

Natalie's Bio:
I am a Somatic Inquiry practitioner and mindfulness teacher, guiding others in deepening their relationship with themselves, their bodies, and the living world. My work is rooted in an animist framework, honouring the wisdom of the natural world, the cosmos, and our other-than-human kin—plants, ancestors, and the unseen forces that shape our lives.
I come to this work through a 25-year journey as a yoga and meditation teacher, continually drawn to the ways we can cultivate presence, resilience, and connection. I identify as an endless student, constantly exploring new depths of understanding—both within and beyond myself.
Off the mat and outside the healing space, I am a mother, an animal lover, and someone who finds solace in the quiet rhythms of the earth. My work is an offering of devotion—to the body, to relationality, and to the ever-unfolding mystery of being alive.

Welcome back, friends!! In our new episode, I am talking about self-love, right in time for Valentine's Day. However, my approach is going to question the superficiality of our modern-day self-love; and rather, invite you to sit in the depths of darkness that authentic self-love requests of us. You don't want to miss it.

Cindy's Bio:
Hi, my name is Cindy. My deepest passion is to support you to reclaim your personal power and help you live a fulfilled and satisfied life.
I am a certified Quantum Life Coach with degrees in Psychology and Archaeology. I have been teaching yoga, studying Mountain Shamanism and the energetic healing arts for over 20 years, and have been an intuitive and channel my entire life.
I grew up in a family that suffered from addiction and mental illness and as a young adult knew that I did not want to continue to weave this trauma into my life story. This spurred me into the life long journey of self-inquiry. Through many modalities including: Quantum Life Coaching, Yoga, Shamanism, and the Expressive Arts, I began to disentangle myself from my conditioning. Using these powerful tools, I have been able to live from my higher self and step into my place of service and highest purpose.
My highest purpose is to help people remember they are loved. This is a true homecoming. Homecoming means we get to identify what we believe to be true, not what society has told us we need to be. We learn how to identify and discern our own feelings, beliefs, sensations, and then have the courage to live them outloud in the world. I am here for the wild one, the edge walker, the curse breaker, the life claimer. I am here for those who are ready to transform their lives.
I’m talking about real change, to finally turn the page on your story and to say yes to the life that is waiting for you. It is time to answer your call.

Happy New Year, friends!! In this short and sweet episode, I talk about the stress of New Year's resolutions and why they don't last - and what you can do differently by adding two simple yet powerful changes into your routine. Living and aligning ourselves to the natural world is a free and powerful resource; one that will soften us towards our goals, while also giving us the stamina to keep moving forward. I'm also excited to introduce a new book recommendation for this month: Peter Wohlleben's "The Secret Life of Trees." It's a beautiful read! Lastly, I'm also providing a new journaling prompt in complement to today's episode: “what are you most proud of accomplishing in 2024?”
I hope this episode - and the resources within - serve you well as the new year unfolds. Thank you for listening!

This episode is part of a 10-day series around grief and loss. This series focuses on navigating the emotional landscape of grief, whether you've lost a loved one, a pet, or even some part of yourself. Grief does not discriminate. Each day will build off of the last; but you're welcome to listen to each episode on its own, as well.
On this final day of our course, we’ll reflect on our journey; touch back on recognizing our grief and how making space for it has changed our mindset. We will also explore the idea of a “new normal,” and living a life after loss. The intention behind our last day together is to empower you to live the kind of life that aligns with the magnitude of love that you have in your own heart.

Each day will build off of the last; but you're welcome to listen to each episode on its own, as well. Now that we know what our grief is, how it feels, and how to make space for it, it’s time to let it flow. So much of what grief entails is the overflowing love that we have for someone or something we lost. Now that we know what that love is, it’s time to share it. On Day 9, we’ll explore some unique, sweet, and heartfelt ways to share our love, even in grief.

On Day 8, we begin to tenderly touch the vulnerability of our loss. Whether we have lost a person, a job, a pet, an opportunity, or even some part of ourselves; we will now begin to connect with our loss. Through Metta meditation and letter-writing, we will take everything we’ve learned about grief up until now, and energetically connect to our loss. We will also discuss creating altars to honor our loss and grief, as well as creating sacred time to share stories of our loss.

On Day 7, we’re going to switch gears and reflect on how we are supported (or not) in our grieving process. We’re going to evaluate our social and family circles to learn where we can pull back our energy, so that we are filling our own cup first. Boundaries are often the least talked about challenge in grief, and we can often get caught up in “saving mode,” trying to help everyone else but ourselves. We’ll visit some practices that we can implement to protect our space, energy, resources, and time.
