The Art of Joy

We are back with a conversation about women, and the highs and lows that come with Mother's Day. We talk about finding our own inspiration and joy that hides in the cracks and can feel elusive. We are thinking about every woman out there who struggles on this day. There are so many hard stories and unfortunate circumstances that can cast a huge shadow.

So many of us have to hold sadness, anger, frustration, and a million moments of...

We are so excited to be back after a bit of a break. We've been busy working on our course, Divine Woman the art of Unbecoming. It has been in the works for a long time now. It was born from you our community and all of the questions, conversations, and interactions we've had with you over the years. We compiled all of our tools, education, and real-life moments of healing, to help you do the same.

Today we look at the new year through a different lens. What if instead. of setting a bunch of resolutions, we allow ourselves to be in sync with the seasons. We talk about turning inward during the long dark days of winter. Exploring that inner landscape and learning what our body mind and soul need most. Maybe those gym memberships can wait until spring. Most importantly we want to thank you for another year in the books. Your su...

Expectations, seem to dwell under the foundation of everything we do in life. We are held to their impossible standards and unconsciously hold those we love to ours.  Expectations we place on ourselves can become great benchmarks to achieve goals and find success, but when we project them onto others we become disappointed or dissatisfied in relationships. 

We share our own experiences that show how expecting more from someone than...

Our conversation with Becca Piastrelli brought us the grounding and connection we didn't even know we needed. Her new book Root and Ritual drops November 16th. She breaks it into four chapters that focus on the following:

Reconnect with the land

Reclaim the gifts of your ancestors

Connecting to community

Returning to yourself

As a culture we are all connected online, yet find ourselves moving further away from belonging, to ourselv...

"By journeying through the Good Girl Myths and becoming more you, you will naturally case a ripple, a riot, a revolution within. You will come alive. You will create the radically new. You will bring about what the world needs instead of the good girl the world thinks it wants. And if that feels overwhelming, remember that you're not alone. You're weaving one vital thread in a larger tapestry of millions. We need all hands on deck....

We are so excited to bring back Doug Cartwright to talk about his new bestselling book "Holy Sh!t We're Alive." Sometimes Life asks us to traverse the shadow side of the mountain. It can feel treacherous and scary. But when you summit and find the sun shining on your face after a journey like that, you evolve and find your true power. You realize that the Sherpa has been in you all along. That home is wherever you are; you are neve...

In this episode, we tackle the foreboding cultural identity of being a "Good Girl" and how that label can hold back our ability to tune in. We, as women, are intuitive beings and creative forces. Many of us are taught that we need to cover our bodies from a young age not to tempt men. We are also asked to be "good wives, daughters, sisters." We get scolded for using our voice and speaking our truth. Our bigger questions are volleye...

The Art of Joy turns three on Mother's Day. We want to extend our deepest gratitude for all of the love and support along the way. We have had so many good conversations and discovered how resilient we all are. Today we want to honor ALL women. We are the creators and courageous women, who have the capacity for so much love. For those of you who find today a challenge, we hope that you will find some time to honor the way you show ...

In this episode, we open up about the struggles we are both currently navigating and how vital self-compassion becomes during challenging days. We need to give ourselves grace because it's not always easy to find outside of ourselves. We are living in such a comparative world, and having access to everyone's curated lives can take us down if we aren't
paying attention.

We all face struggles, some hit harder than others, and sometim...

Women. We are strong, powerful, intuitive, and creative beings. We have the capacity to hold each other up or tear each other down. As we come to the end of international women month, we want to celebrate all of you who are making the world go round! This episode speaks to all of the gifts, both hidden and visible, that we all share. We discuss how we can turn our passions and deeper feelings into movements, and side hustles, even ...

In this episode we invite our dear friend Diana Anderson to talk to us about her gifts as a channel and medium. "A channel is a passageway, a means of access for a thing, a communication, or an idea." So many of us have varying degrees of this gift and don't realize it. If you...

Katie Jo brings us her insight and wisdom for sound healing, energy vibrations, and connection. We are beings made of energy, water, vibration, and frequency. When life hands us hell in a handbasket, we can become paralyzed. Fear, pain, grief, loneliness, and worry that things will never get better can bring our entire life to a halt. Sound therapy is a proven tool to help our brain relax into theta states of relaxation. The drum's...

This Christmas comes with a little extra sparkle. We have been graced with a planetary conjunction that falls on the winter solstice, our darkest night of the year. 2020 has been rougher than expected for all of us. Our collective grief and struggle are palpable. It feels like we've been holding our breath for 12 months, waiting for the sky to fall, picking up the pieces when it does, and wondering what our tomorrows might look lik...
