One of the most powerful practices in deconditioning and shedding what is not ours is through intentional and aligned detoxing and cleansing.

In this episode I speak about collective times for supporting detoxing as well as personal timing based on your unique cosmic weather, some of my experience with cleansing, medical astrology, detoxing + human design determination and supportive tips.

Hint... it's to do with building a sustainable and prosperous business that is in alignment with YOUR Design so you can stop comparing and do you!

I am so honored to have Sarah Ramey, author of The Lady's Handbook For Her Mysterious Illness, choose to spend some time with me in this little corner of the world. This is an important conversation you don't want to miss. We talk about navigating health journeys, the medical industrial complex and finding your voice in your healthcare, psychospiritual aspects and looking at the whole picture, not spiritually bypassing, underworld initiations, the need to be witnessed and even a bit of medical astrology...

Sarah (aka Wolf Larsen) also shares a bit about how she's doing now, all through her quintessential and most genuine humor, grit and vulnerability.

From the Episode:

I tried to keep the sass at a minimum though I'm pretty sure I used the word "bollocks" at some point. It's just one girl's view on the conversation around Tropical/Western vs. Sidereal vs. True Sky astrology + human design. You do you! ;)

From the Episode:

Meghan is back on the podcast for another nourishing conversation around practical embodiment. We speak about social media boundaries, DIY retreats, the energetics of this decade and the need now more than ever for being in our bodies, cumulative actions and the five embodiment pathways.

Trusting your intuition 

Animals as energetic cleaners

Moving thru loss + grief

The spirit of familiars + our soul contracts

Adopting vs. shopping and knowing yourself 

Reincarnation + clearing Karma

Animal Behavior + honoring their instincts

Navigating end of life decisions

From the episode:

In this episode I'm back with Genevieve to discuss our need for solitude, why we need it, how we each bring it in to our lives, benefits etc... I share Human Design + Astrological placements that indicate a greater need for time alone and one which can lead to us feeling alone even when surrounded by people. We each share about some ways we experience those significations in our charts. I was super grateful to have this conversation with Genevieve as she has a lot of sweet and poignant wisdom to share.

Resources:

Our fifth and final installment of Katie + Amanda aka 'B' drive across the country (this time anyway) and share some thoughts around the cosmos from the car through both Western + Vedic perspectives. In this episode we share about Venus, reciprocity, timing techniques, some things we learned about each other + Venus in Leo.

*correction cause I woke up in the middle of the night and thought (you know how one does ;)… I think you said that weird. To clarify, all centers have themes through the gates for organs, glands, systems. For example the throat gates are associated with the thyroid. Sometimes there are other things in the mix in a center like a sense organ but there are definitely consistent thematics. And even in the Self Center the heart and blood are in the mix. I just wanted to share the clear liver vibe in the Self and tie to Jupiter. Mushy travel brain lacked clarity. 

For our final leg, we make our way from St. George UT to Los Angeles.

Our fourth installment of Katie + Amanda aka 'B' drive across the country and share some thoughts around the cosmos from the car through both Western + Vedic perspectives. In this episode we share about our auspicious + magical Mercury Cazimi day as well as thoughts on Jupiter + both of our somewhat unconventional relationships to the archetype in our charts.

In this episode we make our way from Saratoga Springs, WY to St. George UT

Our third installment of Katie + Amanda aka 'B' drive across the country and share some thoughts around the cosmos from the car through both Western + Vedic perspectives.

We're back with our second installment of Katie + Amanda aka 'B' drive across the country and share some thoughts around the cosmos from the car through both Western + Vedic perspectives.

In this episode we make our way from Chicago to Lincoln, NE. Apologies for all the phone topples, we make no professional claims. ;)

Katie and I are driving cross country from NY to CA together and decided we would record some cosmic episodes from the car discussing some of the planets through both the Western and Vedic astrological perspectives. In this episode we chat around the Moon for Monday since Monday is ruled by the Moon. Hope you enjoy!

*Correction Sidereal is approximately 23-24 degrees behind Tropical

Retrogrades, eclipses + cazimis, oh my! Some notable dates for the remainder of our Water Rabbit year.

From the Episode:

I initially recorded this episode as a part of the monologues portal inside The Collective but wanted to share it with everyone and also make a super quick announcement about The Harvest | Summer of Prosperity coming very soon!

This episode dives briefly into how we can use Tarot to more intentionally explore our natal chart and Human Design bodygraph (associations below). The threads are seemingly endless. You can keep pulling, like with the Jupiter example, you could continue to pull threads with Jupiter's relationships (aka aspects) in your chart and those rabbit holes. You could focus on the center Jupiter occupies in your Conscious Design and spend some time embodying that energy through the vibrational toolboxes and somatic work in This Is The Space, etc.. Have fun! Let it be playful. Use the cards to deepen your experience around the archetypes + your unique connection to them.

From the Episode:

Loved this conversation with Meghan Mahealani founder of Amba Movement + Deep Nourishment. I've been wanting to chat with her ever since coming across her deliciously grounded and wild embodied movement on Instagram and took one of her Deep Nourishment classes. We talk about true embodiment, connecting to the Earth, re-creaturing and the importance of doing all the things, including working, from softer, more connected, embodiment. Marrying our "practice" with our day to day life. It is the perfect Jupiter in Taurus conversation and her work is such a supportive way to lean in to the cosmic weather.

Finding Meghan:

This episode with Sierra McDaniel is one of my favorites so far and we really went in with no plan (kind of my style over here), just knowing I wanted to share around her work. Sierra called me a disruptor right before we began recording because unlike much of what you'll find on podcasts (and no judgement), this is not produced, there is no intro, I am not trying to sell you and most times there is no editing, unless I'm cutting out dead air or trying to clean up sound to the best of my ability. And this conversation is a perfect reflection of that intentional ethos... stripped down, open and raw.

We discussed subjects like symptoms, wellbeing steeped in fear, healing stories + the utter OVERWHELM that is happening in the wellness spaces feeling like we have to do ALL the things. Like a good first date, it just flowed. I hope you enjoy listening to the conversation as much as we did having it.

Where to find Sierra:

In this episode I speak about some of the challenging cosmic weather I've been in personally and how I'm navigating it. I speak the most about the Uranus Opposition which occurs for all of us around the age of 42 and has been so lovingly referred to as the "mid-life crisis", as well as the Nodal shift and other timing techniques.

From the episode:

A juicy interview with McClean McGown from Mother the Mother around money stories, the energetics of money + the power of our focus and our words. We also get real on the challenges of growing your own business, pricing, responsibilities + delegation. 

Where to find McClean:

We're back to continue the conversation around the messiness of life. In this episode we dive deeper into the poem "Lost" that Natalie shared at the end of our last gathering. We talk about what it means to be lost, being lost vs. the story of being lost + the benefits of liminal spaces as well as some of the ways we pull ourselves back from the spaces of existential dread. They all share so much sweet insight and wisdom. I hope you enjoy.

This is not to be missed! I was so lucky to connect with water expert, hydration biohacker and Water Ambassador, Isabel Friend on the podcast around deconditioning the waters of the body. She goes down so many interesting, inspiring and thought provoking rabbit holes including how we can decondition through water, hydration hacks, inner hydrology, how hydration heals, the sentience and cosmology of water and the ways in which it is a storehouse of memory, as well as how it can save the world... so just a few things. It is packed with her, what seems like infinite, wisdom and ways in which you can go deeper with her work.

I get to speak with long time friend Christina Moses who plays Regina on ABC's A Million Little Things around listening to our intuition, facing our fears, growing our capacity and expanding into bigger visions...

This is a quick drop in expanding on support for Saturn in Pisces, the importance of working with the fascia + detoxification as part of your deconditioning journey, and details on the upcoming Spring Clean. 

From this Episode: 

I hope you enjoy this one about what I believe is really the most fundamental piece to authentic vibrational alignment. I said in the episode that if you only ever listened to one over here at B+F, make it this one, and I meant it. You are boundless. You are limitless. ✨

"Every time an individual has a thought, or a prolonged, chronic way of thinking, they're in the creation process. Something is going to manifest out of those thoughts... and so you end up attracting to you the predominant thoughts that you're holding in your awareness, whether those thoughts are conscious or unconscious." -Rev. Michael Beckwith
