#78 Exploring tarot for self-reflection and creativity with Kathleen Callahan Mar 20, 2020

Show notes

Hey everyone, I hope you are safe and able to stay home. As promised I am sending more podcast episodes your way so that we can least connect through the cosmic internet vibes. This Sunday I am also hosting a donation based grief circle - we'll do some gentle breathwork, meditate together, journal and do some self-massage to ease the lack of touch. You can learn more, sign up and invite your friends here: https://www.yarrowmagdalena.com/grief-tending/ I really loved talking to Kathleen for this episode and have received several tarot readings from her that I still treasure and listen to lots (they are currently on sale for $25). Kathleen is truly magical, very real, very creative and very wonderful. Here is what we talked about:

- Tracing our journey through life with tarot journals
- Transforming harmful patterns in our lives
- Creating a tarot deck and being in creative flow
- The reality of building a small business under capitalism and worrying about money
- Working with the memories we carry in our bodies

Although she thinks of herself as an eternal student, Kathleen has been working with the tarot for the past 19 years. Her father was a tarot reader in the 1970s but kept it secret from her until she bought her first set of cards at the initiatory age of 13. He refused to teach her the language of the cards, so she spent many years finding her own way with them. She has taught herself plant medicine and astrology over the course of the last 7 years, and now weaves her love for tarot, astrology, and plant medicine together in her work to support transformation in herself and clients. She is also trained in IET (Integrated Energy Therapy) and Reiki to nourish the space she holds for others. By learning to find the voice within after all these years, she now teaches others how to find their own inner wisdom and that we can be our own healer. https://www.daughterofwands.com Kathleen's tarot readings on sale: https://www.daughterofwands.com/offerings-1/recorded-tarot-reading https://www.instagram.com/daughter.of.wands/

Show notes

Hey friends, I recorded this woodland visualisation as a way to offer some easily accessible grounding practices in these uncertain and stressful times. I'm thinking of all of you and am really committed to releasing more episodes over the next few weeks so we can stay in some kind of dialogue and connection as we are practicing self-isolation and social distancing. Please reach out and message me if you have any wishes for practices or ideas you'd like me to cover. A reminder also that becoming a Patreon gets you access to the Embodied Magic program, my live classes and zines as well as recordings from past workshops that you can explore in your own time from home. Small businesses will appreciate your support now more than ever! I've lifted the different tier levels so that it's more accessible, any pledge will give you access to all I offer.

Thank you!//

#76 The good, the bad & the magical: celebrating five years in business + my biggest lesson Mar 01, 2020

Show notes

I am celebrating five years in business today! ⁠ "I trust myself to make this work" is still my favorite business affirmation and I am excited for the next five years. ⁠ ⁠ Working for myself has given me a lot of freedom, room for creativity, community, rest, inspiration and joy. Obviously it's also given me a lot of headaches and challenges, but at the end of the day I have never regretted it. ⁠ ⁠ I've recorded an episode sharing my biggest lessons - ⁠I talked about unlearning competition, having good boundaries, rethinking success, making time to work ON your business and listening to your body as a wise mentor. Enjoy! ⁠ ⁠ Thanks for supporting my work, being here, listening and sharing and for making all this possible. ⁠ ⁠ Love you,⁠ ⁠ Yarrow

#74 Reclaiming dance and creative expression with Jess Grippo Feb 21, 2020

Show notes

Hey everyone, happy Friday! I'm loving this episode so much and I hope you will too! Jess Grippo is so fun and wonderful to be around and she has really inspired me to finally f*cking dance again. In this giggly interview we talked about the following, amongst many other groovy things:

- The joy of dancing in your own way and why it's so liberating
- Letting go of ideas about what a dance practice should look like
- Overcoming body image issues
- Creative processes that are joyful and easy

Jess Grippo is a dancer, performer, writer, creativity coach, and the author of Dance With This Book. After leaving her ballet career and being distanced from the dance world for years, she started making dance videos alone in her room. These DIY expressions would become the catalyst for reviving her creative expression and later transitioning her career back into dance - but this time, in her own way. Since then, she's been invited to speak and perform at TEDxNYU, Lincoln Center's Dance On Camera Festival, the New York Comedy Club, and more. Her programs and videos have been helping people for years to reclaim dance, feel at home in their bodies, and revive their creative expression.

#73 Self acceptance, love and bathing yourself in softness Feb 13, 2020

Show notes

Loved folks, I could not help but record a mushy solo episode for valentine's day. Sorry, not sorry! It's a pep talk on luxurious embodiment practices, easy rituals, documenting life and remembering that healing is always political. Wether you hate this day, celebrate it or ignore it I hope you can make yourself feel like you're bathing in softness sometimes and that we can talk and dream about deconstructing the binary of self- and community care together.

Thank you!//

#72 Reclaiming pleasure and wild unshaming with Luna Dietrich Jan 31, 2020

Show notes

Hey friends,

happy new moon!

This particularly beautiful Friday feels perfect to bring you an interview with Luna Dietrich, also known as the pussy witch <3 It’s been wonderful and inspiring to talk to them about:

Growing out of being a people pleaser
How Luna changed their name and married the Earth
What it means to Luna to be an ecosexual
Why pleasure matters so much and how we can reclaim it

I hope you will enjoy this conversation as much as I did <3

Luna Dietrich (she/they), aka Pussy Witch, is a pleasure centered sex educator, writer, healer and virgo-queer-femme-boss. Raised catholic and a born people pleaser, sex hasn’t always felt shame free for Luna.

At 14 years old, Luna “lost her virginity” (virginity is a myth) and was slut shamed and outcast. In college, she fell into a long term, safe monogamous relationship, losing all sexual desire, believing she was broken. It wasn’t until she discovered queer sex that she learned how much pleasure could be felt in the body, rather than sex just being an exchange for male attention and closeness.

With a focus on trauma-informed, comprehensive, pleasure-based sex ed, Luna has led over 1,000 students through her online courses. Her passion is helping recovering people pleasers and exhausted activists release shame and weave pleasure into their entire lives.

Hey appreciated listeners, this episode is really close to my heart - I love working with my guest Rebekah Erev and really appreciate all that they do.

Rebekah about their work: I am an ordained kohenet (Hebrew priestess), feminist, queer, artist, intuitive, healer, lover, creativity coach and teacher. I live on the Salish Sea in Olympia, WA., the original village of the Steh-chass people. In my work I collaborate with unseen and seen beings to make art and ritual with the intention to recover and liberate the earth. I offer intuitive readings and workshops to help people manifest their most true expressions, listening to the wisdom of their bodies. I also make objects and create public ritual as performance / ceremony.
