Hey there,
I'm excited to share the latest episode of A Sacred Wild Life with you! This one is extra special because it weaves together two of my greatest loves—creativity and nourishment. In this episode, we dive into the art of sourdough baking—not just as a way to make delicious bread, but as a pathway to joy, self-connection, and cherishing the sacred in the everyday.
For me, baking was never just about the bread itself, but about slowing down, being present, and co-creating with nature. I talk about how each loaf is like a joyful dance with wild yeast—a reminder that transformation takes time, care, and presence.
Through the alchemy of simple ingredients, we learn about patience, trust, and playfulness, all while nourishing ourselves on a deeper level. I know for many of us, it can be challenging to feel seen and cherished in our busy, chaotic lives. But what if the simple act of baking bread could help you feel just that? Seen by yourself, cherished by the time you spend nurturing something with your own hands. This is where the magic lives.
Some things we explore in this episode:
✨ The process of sourdough: Why it's more than just flour and water—it's an alchemy of transformation.
✨ How baking pulls us into the present moment, offering a joyful space to feel grounded, connected, and nourished.
✨ Life lessons from sourdough: Letting go of control, embracing resilience, and dancing with the unknown.
✨ How to weave sourdough into your spiritual practice with mindfulness and intention.
I also share some stories of my baking journey—the ups, the downs, and the moments where I’ve learned to smile at my “failed” loaves (because even those moments hold a beautiful lesson in patience and self-compassion).
Baking, like life, is an ongoing journey of discovery. As we learn to let go of perfectionism and embrace the joy of the process, we start to feel more connected to ourselves and the sacredness of our everyday actions.
