About today’s show:

Today Odelle and I discussed:

• Feminine
• Exploring fear
• How our cycles play into everything
• Do we need certifications to share what we know?
• Relationship with your period
• Community
• Women

This was a super chatty conversation and so much fun!

Odelle, a 27 yr old woman in this human life, and an unknown soul age! Desiring deep connection and being her truest self from as early as she can remember, makes her feel ancient.

Over the years, she has consistently dropped away and welcomed in things that aligned more fully, yet this year has been a continuous flow of huge transformations.

Slowing down. Listening. Reconnecting. More.

The pull towards Women and the Feminine became so strong, that she released most of her "commitments", running The Charge Movement gym for adults and kids (grateful for her amazing partner Keagan to hold down the fort), and teaching yoga in groups and privately with kids and adults.

She kept only what felt FULLY ALIGNED. Now, while facilitating her second 10 week women's program, she’s received the call to ignite the energy and messages more into the community in other ways.

About today’s show:

This episode we discusses:

• the carnivore diet
• experiences on a vegan diet
• dogma / open mindedness 
• the hidden dangers of plants 

Petra has a passion for health and vitality. She's always been interested in living a healthy life and finding the most optimal diet but never truly succeeded until she came across the carnivore diet. After following an animal based diet with an emphasis on high quality animal fats and organ meats, her life has drastically improved. Her goal is to share her story in hopes to challenge others to be open minded when presented with new information that goes against the grain.

I learnt so much from talking with Petra, I hope you get as much value from this as I did!

About Eve Black:

Eve is a truth seeking woman with an unconventional story that’s led her to the point she’s at now, navigating into this next important phase of life.

Having been an exotic dancer and exploring every way of life she could find, she has now started to find the value of traditional values and living a spiritual life closer to nature.

Through reconnecting with tradition, her faith, exploring what it means to be a feminine woman and not being shy about sharing her values, she hopes to connect with other people who could also find value in living a life away from the modern degeneracy we see so prevalently that has disconnected us from what matters in life.

She’s passionate about connection and community and her ideal way of life would be on a large plot of land with a close family and a connected community around her that upholds tradition and respects the way life was intended to be. Naturally.
