How can you be the medicine? How can you reject what the modern world has taught you and, instead, find what you need within yourself? Are you struggling to understand what this phrase even means or where to start? Then join me today for an exploration of this concept of medicine. Together, we’ll consider how our modern society is attempting to extract it without acknowledgement and how you can start taking steps to be your own medicine as you begin your journey to radical self-love, acceptance, and healing. I invite you to pause, reconnect, and do the work to find your truth. Let’s get started.

The journey to healing can be a long one and for those called onto The Medicine Path, those asked to weave their knowledge and experiences to help others, it can be easy to prioritize filling other's cups before your own. This week I’m bringing back one of my most popular episodes with a guest that shows us that the healing journey is one that never ends; one that asks to remain students of life and become our own medicine first. In today's episode, I welcome to the circle healer, badass and amazing human being Ash Bell. Ash is a healer from Melbourne Australia with experience in Tibetan Sound Healing, Reiki, and facilitating Cacao Ceremonies. With a background in Social Work, Ash weaves together these different modalities in order to support people to heal, find their light, lift the soul and stay grounded. Join us for today's episode where Ash shares more about her creation story, how her journey in self healing lead her to helping others, her relationship with ceremonial Cacao, and what being a student in a circle means.

Things are always going to be changing. It’s ok to grieve and let go. But you can choose what to do with your grief. Will you choose to pour more love into it? To create something even more beautiful than you can imagine? That’s the journey that our guest has chosen to take. Today we welcome Vesna Vavladellis back to the circle to have a conversation around what it means to be trained in an indigenous way, what it means to be in a circle and to learn and have access to that, and to explore grief and how it can go hand in hand with love.

Each breath is a miracle, and if you seek wholeness, I have a technique for you to try.

As we change, grow and evolve, as we walk our medicine path we often encounter the waters of our trauma and grief. Some of these wounds run deep and need more time to heal but we sometimes cannot see the layers necessary for healing. Sometimes we speak from what we think is a fixed wound but what is underneath is still building up. The lesson here is that life is truly a journey of stages and therefore things take time. Recovering from a wound takes time. Today's plática is one that had been brewing for over six months.The energía that we invite to sit with us in the circle today has many names: awakening, trauma, grief but today we will simply call it a wound. Join me as we revisit this conversation where we talk about the work necessary to identify and heal our wounds. Tune in as I share a technique woven together in indigenous practice to help you: peel back the layers necessary for healing, stop taking on other people's waters and find a path to YOUR healing.

Even for those of us who grew up in indigenous circles, there is always a pivotal point when we really step into our medicine. And in today’s episode, I’m bringing you a conversation that I had—being interviewed on The Healing Adventures of Luna podcast—where I share mine. In this conversation with my good friend Maritza Luna, author of Fairy Medicine Oracle, we explore this pivotal point for me and how I became The One Who Catches Lightning, vision quests, cacao, and our run ins with Bigfoot.

What lessons can we learn from the planets? The stars? What can they teach us about being a good animal in this life? As we enter into Circle today, I invite you to join me in this conversation with a phenomenal astrologer and dreamwalker, Ananda Sykes. Ananda is a mystic, metaphysician, astrologer, dreamwalker, folk witch, guide, and mentor with a unique comedic warmth.
