Our world is evolving at breakneck speed, with 90% of our time now spent indoors—the majority of that time spent in front of screens. Most of this change has only taken place over the last 100 years.

Becca Piastrelli's work is helping us look back to the ways things used to be, reconnecting us to our ancestral ways of living. She helps folks come back into communion with the land they inhabit, live seasonally, recl...

The fastest way to the other side of that big emotion or that recurring thought is in and through. We can spend a lifetime trying to evade emotions or thoughts that feel uncomfortable.

In this episode, Nadia's back for another solo adventure sharing a ...

Birthdays (referred to as "solar returns" in Astrology), are an annual opportunity to reflect, receive, and reorient yourself along the next threshold of your life path.

Each year the sun comes back to the place it was at the moment of your birth and asks, “how YOU were you this past year?” Many of us wait for others to celebrate our birthdays or dismiss the idea of celebrating a birthday altogether ...

In this solo episode, Nadia gets vulnerable and shares one of the wounds she’s been working through in her own life: a deep-seated fear of rejection. We are wired for love and connection.

Journaling is the top recommended tool for self awareness, personal growth, and connecting with your intuition. It’s a tool we all know we should be doing, but very few of us actually do it. Why? Because for many, journaling invokes a mental image of a middle schooler recounting what they had for lunch to a diary. We also have no clue what to write. In this episode, Nadia unpacks why journaling is the single most important tool that aided her on her spiritual journey. In fact, this podcast would...
