#20 My interview with Rachael Maddox on sex after trauma, embodied healing and bad spells Dec 03, 2017

Show notes

This episode is really close to my heart and extra special. Rachael Maddox is a trauma resolution educator, coach and guide whose work I have followed with joy and excitement for a long while. I believe with every cell of my being that her work is needed now more than ever and I am excited to share a bit of her with you! Tune in to hear about our visions for collective sexual healing and trauma resolution, what we can do when old trauma resurfaces, the tenderness of starting over and doing intimacy differently and why we feel it can help to think of trauma as a bad spell. We also had a chat about the similarities between consent in sex and consent in marketing, how we can create fair exchanges and why somatic approaches to healing are so important.

Content note: We talked about family stuff, sexual trauma and violence, but there are no graphic elements. I highly recommend checking Rachael`s kickstarter for her upcoming book Sex after Trauma out at bit.ly/sexaftertraumabook - there are amazing treats and you`ll be supporting work that is so needed in the world.

#15 My interview with Lindsay Mack on Soul Tarot and healing from trauma and PTSD Sep 22, 2017

Show notes

Hey friends, this episode is really, really beautiful - especially if you are into the tarot. Lindsay Mack has been such an inspiration to me as she has a really unique way of working with the cards in healing and creative ways. I got to ask her about self-care practices, plant friends, making wild career moves and healing from trauma and PTSD. Lindsay shared her view on soul cards, how her astrological houses have helped her better understand her experience, how she started her journey as a tarot reader after a major crisis, what eucalyptus means to her and why she wants to connect to the plants of her ancestry. We also talked about healing trauma as a present moment process around something that happened in the past, what our relationship to the word witch is and our perspective on generosity and unconventional online marketing. A little side note - the sound quality unfortunately is a little lower than usual in this episode as I had some tech issues, I hope you still enjoy it!

#11 My interview with Sarah M. Chappell on plant magic, being a witch and overcoming addictions May 30, 2017

Show notes

I will be super honest here - Sarah had been an instagram crush of mine for a while before I was super brave and emailed her about coming on my show and thank Goddess she said yes! Sarah is super magical yet totally down to earth and has shared lots of gems about her way of reading the tarot, working with plants and letting go of habits that are no longer serving her. We also talked about authentic self-care, living in Asheville and reclaiming the word witch. I also highly recommend checking out her blog (all links below) and signing up for her self-care checklist. Enjoy!

She intuitively blends tarot, flower and stone essences, and herbal remedies to empower women to heal themselves. Her personal journey of healing depression and addiction has led her to believe that we each have the ability to create our own wellbeing, and that with tools and support we can unravel, shift, and heal our stories of suffering. sarahmchappell.com
