Ask in the morning:

What is Lunar Living? As Kristina says, “It’s an opportunity to be more reflective, to not always be in push mode and active all the times; to respect down periods, to understand fallow times and to consciously allow that and plan your life around your cycles as much as possible.” Yet it can be challenging to live this way in a world that values productivity and views rest as a sign of weakness. Join us in this rich conversation of rewilding as we explore the challenges of being lunar in a solar world, and share perspectives, practices and resources to support you in honoring both your internal lunar and solar, without letting the mind’s conditioning limit you in any way; and how to work with your ebbs and flows without losing momentum or visibility.

After we wrapped up our recording I realized I’d forgotten to ask Kristina the question I ask all of my guests: What brave woman inspires you these days? So I asked her afterwards and here’s her response: “The brave woman who inspires me right now is my body, and the body of the feminine in general. My body is resilient, she loves fiercely, she holds all of me. I'm expanding my capacity to feel her, to live inside of my own body more and more from a place of deep compassion for all that my body has lived through. I'm feeling less resistance to my aging body - my midlife, postmenopausal feminine vessel. Bringing awareness and deep reverence for my matrilineal ancestral body and the collective feminine body - for every woman's body. The goddess body, this precious body.” 

Journaling prompts:

1. How do you access/receive your intuition? 

2. What are the practices you engage in that invite you into that receptive way of being so you can actually receive your intuition?

3. What are some of those choices or actions you’d like to take that invite you into more vulnerability and visibility?

4. What are the things (and resources) that can support you in that, before, during and after?

Drop right into this potent, juicy conversation with Dr. Melissa Bird, and be inspired by her confidence, revolutionary nature and deeply rooted wisdom. She takes us on a journey from her childhood, as a Native American, bisexual, feminist growing up in Utah, through to her current risks and adventures of disrupting the land and farming industry with Mermaid’s Garden. In her life and work, she bridges the gap between religion, spirituality and magic, and calls herself a Christian Witch. Melissa’s courage to move beyond what is acceptable in order to live a thriving, soul-filled life, is palpable and contagious…so watch out! You might just be called to embark on your own graceful revolution.

Tune in for a rich and honest exploration of self-intimacy, and the story of how Jessamyn ‘stayed close to herself’ throughout her recovery. Addiction can carry such a big stigma, which is why Jessamyn is committed to sharing her story and living her sobriety ‘out loud’ to help dissolve the shame and open the channels for healing conversations.  

Quote in episode from “Compassion,” a poem by Miller Williams:

“You do not know what wars are going on down there where the spirit meets the bone.”

What do you do when you’ve created the life you desire, only to discover it’s not fulfilling? You let that old life die and follow your heart to create a new life. At least, that’s what Manjit bravely did. Yet it’s never straightforward is it? The caterpillar does dissolve into goo before it becomes a butterfly. Tune in to hear Manjit’s story of how she unwound from an addiction to adrenaline and external validation to discover the intelligence and wisdom within her own body; what she discovered in that messy middle melt of the in-between place; and how she cultivates radical self-love on the daily.

Rachel takes us behind the scenes and shares her journey with facing and overcoming a deep sense of feeling broken. Whether or not you’ve experienced anxiety, depression or trauma yourself, tune in to be inspired by Rachel’s wisdom that can serve us all. She talks honestly about how she healed, the different support she called upon personally and professionally, mindset shifts that helped her overcome perfectionism, the gift of boundaries and getting to her authentic zen self.

Recently, people praised me for my positive attitude ‘cause I fell off a horse, fractured a couple of vertebrae and am choosing to live the question, “What are the gifts in this?” That praise actually pissed me off… and led me to create this episode where I explore the limitations of positivity and what else is possible when we go beyond that to make pragmatic choices about how we view and create our lives?

The inspiration for this episode came from my horseback riding lesson the other day. 

My four-legged ‘teacher’ taught me a great lesson about LEADERSHIP… and how I was unconsciously being the follower. 

How often in life and business are we unconsciously being the follower? Allowing other people’s points of view to dictate and limit our choices?

We’ve learned to view ‘surrender’ as a weakness, since one definition of the word describes it as giving up to another who has more power or authority over us. In an attempt to avoid this weakness at all costs, we try to control everything. But what does that actually create for us in our lives and businesses, relationships and beyond? What if surrender can be a strongness, not a wrongness? What if so much more is available to us when we choose to surrender our points of views? Our control? Our defenses? I used to fear that surrender would lead to the complete obliteration of me. Yet I’ve discovered that surrender can actually be the liberation of me. Perhaps for you, too?

Which is why I invite you into living and being unapologetically you.

Women entrepreneurs have confessed to me that they’re afraid to speak up, express their true voice and be as powerful as they sense they truly are. “I want to be more visible but I hold myself back,” they tell me. “It’s dangerous.” I myself used to believe that it was dangerous for me if I inhabited my body and my turn on. So for the longest time, I unconsciously chose not to inhabit either. What if there’s a totally different perspective on “being dangerous” that will set you free? It set me free… and now I can’t wait to share it with you.

The conversations we have in the privacy of our own inner terrain are the most important conversations we have. In this intimate space, it’s important to be really honest with yourself: are you holding yourself down or lifting yourself up? Are you telling yourself, ‘Who are you to do this?’ and ‘You can’t do this,’ or are you reminding yourself of the beautiful gift you are, as you are, inspired to explore all that you’re capable of?
