Wisdom of Wyse Women PodcastFive Minutes of EncouragementI’m dropping in this week to hold you in deep encouragement, steeped in love and unwavering support. We are in strange times, that’s nothing new, and there’s a feeling that more change is coming, new transitions are starting to take shape on the horizon. And we are moving toward them. New ways of relating to self, other energies, daily life, work and purpose are all opening up. New love wrapped in new potential is coming through. It feels like the unknown, and we may be navigating something that feels wholly muddled right now. We need to feel encour...2021-10-1105 min
Wisdom of Wyse Women PodcastWhat is Mercury Retrograde?Ahh, Mercury Retrograde, that often mentioned astrological phenomenon. This occurrence gets tossed around a lot, often with the joking question of "Is Mercury in retrograde?" attached to it. But what does it really mean? I am answering this question from a symbolic and energetic focus, offering language around what the significance is when a sky body appears to move backwards. Hint, all bodies in motion affect other bodies, including our earth mother body, and our own human bodies. Mercury as a symbol represents the mind, communication, and intellectual processes. We use these processes to create relational energy and experiences...2021-10-0436 minWisdom of Wyse Women PodcastA Moment with Your Grief, with Kathryn C. RobinsonThis week, I am joined by my friend and very wise woman, Kathryn C. Robinson. Kathryn is a beautiful, mellifluous being, who (you will hear!) expresses her unique essence and earthbound medicine through use of her voice. She is a movement and body-based practitioner who focuses her expressions on helping others unearth and release trauma often experienced (or expressed) by grief in its many forms. She uses various therapies, such as yoga, kirtan, and meditation, and her musical background and talent employs her into a wider range of modalities, including sound and vocal expression to help regulate and discharge...2021-09-271h 42Wisdom of Wyse Women PodcastWhen the Energy is HeavyWelcome back to the show for my solo jam on how some very heavy energy is moving through (the already dense material of) bodies lately. There is a palpable set of challenging energies in the collective atmosphere, and they are coalescing and manifesting through each of us as individual bodies and unique essences, taking shape in different (and most likely relational avenues) in our lives. What a challenging time it has been for many of us. Some of us may have been feeling this ramped up challenging energy already back in Leo season, and many of us (myself included) are...2021-09-2032 minWisdom of Wyse Women PodcastChange is a’ Comin’, Look for the SignsRecorded on the second full blue Moon in Aquarius of Leo season 2021, this episode is here to help you move and process this momentous amount of energy that many of us are feeling right. We are at a critical point, a pinnacle, in our lives. We are like writers with pen posed, ready to create that first line of the next chapter. This is the line that draws us in and sets the tone for the story. The one that gets us excited and passionate about what comes next. We have been working towards this moment for quite awhile. And...2021-08-2329 minWisdom of Wyse Women PodcastHow is Your Heart? Where is Your Mind?There is a lot of energy coalescing right now. Here, on the continent of North America, fires are raging, consuming land and structure, billowing smoke for miles. Covid cases are increasing, sickness is spreading. Human life is being disrupted and displaced. There is grief. The energy is fraught. On a personal level, relationships are breaking down, partnerships are ending. Concepts of home, family, love and stability are changing. We are reaching critical moments in our collective and individual experience. Things have been set into motion, are culminating, the wheel of life is turning. Our hearts and minds are being barraged...2021-08-2238 minWisdom of Wyse Women PodcastAvoidance, Bypassing, Ghost CultureWelcome back to the show! After a few weeks hiatus, we are here on the New Moon in Leo, 2021, to share thoughts on a few patterns that dance around in our lives together: avoidance, which I define as not making the choice to orient towards something we know we need to; bypassing, which is what happens when we repeatedly move away from situations that ask us to learn from them; and ghost culture, which is what we get (presently) collectively from the pervasive individual patterns of avoidance and bypassing. We’ve all done it—actively ignored or shut out a pers...2021-08-2249 minWisdom of Wyse Women PodcastConscious Grief HealsThis week on the show, I am taking us into the lessons of grief: what it means to grieve, what we are actually doing and creating when we grieve, and how we are reckoning and retrieving pieces of ourselves and our power through the cycles of grief. Grief is a practice that takes us further through the doorway of our own medicine. The essence of it as a practice brings us to the understanding that we must grieve, and grieve fully in order to move through soul loss--that sensation of stickiness in despair and hopelessness that can grow if...2021-07-1947 minWisdom of Wyse Women PodcastSeeing through Eyes of the DivineThis week on the show, we are recognizing the true essence of the nature of all things: divinity. That soul residing in an earthbound body that looks out into the world from our human eyes. Are we using our eyes to truly see the divine nature of all beings? Maybe. Only if we are willing to meet and greet our discomfort and say, "I don't know how I am going to move through this, and I am going to do it anyway." To give middle world illustration and anecdote of this, I am offering three very personal narratives of...2021-07-1250 minWisdom of Wyse Women PodcastThe Underworld, Myth and Beauty: IndividuationContinuing on our journey from last week, we are diving further into Ancient Greek myth to understand our own process of individuation and actualization. Referencing the story of Demeter, Persephone and Hades, I retell the myth and uncover its symbology to land the wisdom of the individuation process that actualizes our unique essences for you. Individuation takes place when we, out of rebellion or in answer to our soul's calling, deliberately and intentionally move away from the bonds of our first family and the history we have previously been rooted in in order to create the life we desire...2021-07-0534 minWisdom of Wyse Women PodcastThe Underworld, Myth and Beauty: The Fires of HelThis week on the show, we are referencing ancient myth and goddess culture to recognize and understand the Beauty of our Underworld journeys and experiences on the path of our soul's evolution I am taking us through the energy of the ancient birthing/destroyer goddess, Hel, who brings us through the fires of our initiation, and into the cavernous seclusion of our shadowy unconscious. We begin our descent with a crossover of the River Styx, the entangled, toxic emotions (water) that we need to face in order to reclaim our shadow. We get on a boat for the crossing, a...2021-06-2832 minWisdom of Wyse Women PodcastLighting Your Sacred FireOur Sacred Fire, how do we light it? One way to begin is to follow the trail to knowing what intimidates us, or what we admire in others that we think we do not have within ourselves. Often, these are the qualities that we feel are out of reach for us, and yet, if we pivot towards discomfort and go beyond the veil, we can retrieve these qualities and integrate them into our wholeness. On the other side of discomfort is a deeper knowing of our Medicine, is an actualization of our our sacred fire. Our ability to become...2021-06-2128 minWisdom of Wyse Women PodcastPot is Plant MedicineWhat is plant medicine? Plant Medicine goes beyond the realm of what we may think it is; it includes more than an Ayahuasca ceremony, it goes beyond the "spiritual" retreats we take ourselves on to experience these plant allies. Plant medicine is present for us daily. In fact, some of us are entangled in unconscious codependent habits with plants, and in these ways of relationship, have forgotten their medicinal and sacred essences, and instead sacrificing them to consumerism, recreation, and extraction.
In this space, I am taking us into a conversation that opens our awareness around what i...2021-06-1436 minWisdom of Wyse Women PodcastEmbodying the CroneThis week’s episode is about the energy pattern of the Crone or Wise One, which we all have access to, no matter our age, gender or experience. The Crone is the voice within that beckons us to our own well of wisdom within, calling us to move through change when we are on the edge of it, and teaching us of our own deep knowledge when we are ready to hear of it. The energy is present for us whether we are conscious of it, or not. And it becomes stronger and more nourishing the more we welcome it. Th...2021-06-0727 minWisdom of Wyse Women PodcastDivine Feminine Rising, with Malyssa HarelsonThe divine Feminine is rising and creating, expanding us into a new realm of what is possible for our lives in this reality. I am joined by Malyssa Harelson, kundalini guide, artist, and divine feminine priestess, who free riffs with me on the experiences we have had recently that point to the shift in energy that brings us further into embodying the divine feminine paradigm. We are noticing the changes in the ways we create, the energy that we allow ourselves to create from, and how we approach the sacredness of creating. We get into what it means to...2021-05-3150 minWisdom of Wyse Women PodcastCreating Art from the Feminine, with Param Akasha KaurThis week's episode is a sacred co-creation with a beautiful embodied essence that I value and cherish deeply. Her name is Param Akasha Kaur, wisdom holder of the Rose lineage, Divine Feminine priestess, artist and photographer, and guide for kundalini experiences. She joins me to talk openly about the vulnerability of capturing a soul's essence through visual art, and what it has meant to her to open herself fully to the experience of being both in front of the lens as the subject, as well as the artist behind the lens. We get into the wounded feminine that carries...2021-05-241h 14Wisdom of Wyse Women PodcastWhat is the New Dream?What is the new dream resting on the foundations of your true desires? This last bit of time has been a deep process of new experiences. It is where the end of one paradigm of self meets the new and gracefully gives way. It is home to both the witness and the dreamer. It is the time of the season in our lives where we can lay the foundations for the experiences that resonate with our deepest innermost desires for the lives we which to have, and the embodied essence we wish to resonate as we experience this life. The...2021-05-1736 minWisdom of Wyse Women PodcastWorking with Spirit of PlaceOn a solo jam this week, I am taking us deep into our connection with the Earth, and the palpable shifts many of us are feeling through the Earth energy we are gifted with and experiencing this season. Working with Spirit of Place is a deeply shamanic concept, and it is one that can apply to all beings. It is certainly honored by other life of the natural world. For humans, working with Spirit of Place roots into the lifestyle and sacred commitment of the Earthkeeper. An Earthkeeper is an embodied Spirit (human) who takes and renews the sacred c...2021-05-1044 minWisdom of Wyse Women PodcastHonoring Your Sacred Space (Boundaries as Medicine)I am excited to bring you this week's episode because I have wanted to create a discussion for so long, but it just wasn't the right time. And now it is! So this week, we are getting into honoring your sacred space. This is often called boundary work, and I am offering the practice of boundaries as medicine. Instead of using this common term, I am seeking to frame this practice as a way to honor your sacred space as well as yourself as sacred. This is a process of unlayering and retrieving the values with which we desire...2021-05-0341 minWisdom of Wyse Women PodcastWhen the Soul Lands, with Katie BuemannWith this episode, I have had a dream come true! My guest this month is a woman I have admired, tuned into, and have received guidance from through her voice. Her name is Katie B., she is the host of the Real Rebel Podcast, and she is joining me for this week's sacred wisdom jam. This episode is a beautiful snapshot of the human experience, covering all things from growing up as an outsider, being ridiculed for being "different", and the subsequent difficulties of individuation later in life. We cover feeling unheard (even when there is a huge audience...2021-04-261h 15Wisdom of Wyse Women PodcastQ+A with Kristi, Three Recurring QuestionsThis week, I am bringing in some recurring questions that have come up in my work with students, in conversation with friends, and have just been on replay in my own awareness. How can we talk about spirituality in a mainstream way? How do I know when it's fear or when it's intuition speaking? How can I know if a boundary is being used for manipulation and when its actually asserted out of self-honoring? We are going deep to retrieve the answers to all three of these this week. I am using stories and examples from my own life...2021-04-1941 minWisdom of Wyse Women PodcastHow We Nourish + Create with Light + Shadow (the Mother Archetype)This episode is about the ways we embody the deeply divine feminine aspects of nourishment and creation. Have you ever wondered why you love to create beautiful things and share them with others? Or maybe why it lights you up so much to craft a beautiful meal and share it with people you love? Why is it so rewarding to bring people together and nourish them in an uplifting environment? These are all energies of the mother archetype that naturally can express through us, no matter how we identify in gender. The mother archetype is part of the creative...2021-04-1233 minWisdom of Wyse Women PodcastTo Be Reborn AnewWhat is rebirth, actually? What does it mean to be a fully grown human and be reborn? How does that look and feel on different parts of the human journey? If these are questions you like to ponder, or are curious about them, you are (hopefully) going to feel some downloads come through during this episode! If you are feeling a more subtle set of energies in your own body, and in your heart, and within external exchanges and are wondering what this means, you will be very affirmed when you tune into this episode. If you are someone...2021-04-0536 minWisdom of Wyse Women PodcastMedicine for Struggle and SurrenderWelcome to the show! I am on a solo jam today, talking about what it can mean to experience struggle and surrender, and where we can find the medicine in both. I am doing things a little differently today: I am taking a three parted intention to first discuss a challenge, then tell stories about how this challenge can look and feel using personal narrative, and then I am offering medicine to help move through the challenge. Today, I am presenting the challenge of the struggle--those times when we feel so myopically focused on something that we get a...2021-03-2929 minWisdom of Wyse Women PodcastThe Intersections of Life, with Dr. Daniel DomolecznyThis week on the show, we are getting a little silly and bringing a bit of humor to the conversation! This is much needed for me, as sometimes it almost feels like I have forgotten how to have fun! So my deep hope is that you will be able to laugh along with me and our guest for this week, Dr. Daniel Domoloczny. Daniel is an acupuncturist, a Chinese Medicine practitioner, a breathwork and meditation coach, and a teacher of Shamanism. In our talk, Daniel takes us on his personal journey of the discovery of the practices that have l...2021-03-221h 26Wisdom of Wyse Women PodcastThe Volcanoes of LifeHello and welcome! This week, I am riffing on the archetypal energy of the Destroyer and how this energy mirrors the creative and destructive power of the Earth and all life on Earth. The destroyer archetype comes up when life becomes severe in some or many ways. I am using the analogies of three different natural disasters (Earth's destructive forces), and tying them to the ways that we, as humans, also use the forces of destruction in our lives. I talk about how space is created from endings, how best to prepare for filling that space after an ending...2021-03-1532 minWisdom of Wyse Women PodcastYou Are a Wide and Spacious CanyonWelcome to a solo jam where I am using metaphorical imagery to bring us into awareness of our spacious spirit nature! Imagine yourself on the rim of a canyon looking down. What do you feel? What do you see? In this episode, I am guiding you through the canyon of your life and essence to introduce you into the descent into the underworld of self. We are journeying into the canyon as a metaphor for the wide and spacious beings we are, stopping to reckon with and re-member parts of ourselves along the way. At the bottom, we reach...2021-03-0832 minWisdom of Wyse Women PodcastDark Nights + Planetary Lights, with Astrologer Carrie GaneWelcome to the second half of my beautiful conversation with astrologer Carrie Gane! In this episode, we are diving into her origin story and the path that led her to where she is now. She takes us through her personal account of struggle, and eventually finding the light of right relationship on her path. We weave many different motifs and bits of the human experience within our dialogue as we navigate the shared human experience of the dark night of the soul. There is plenty of room for discussion on topics like patriarchy, the collective transition and restructure we...2021-03-011h 26Wisdom of Wyse Women PodcastCelestial Wisdom, with Astrologer Carrie GaneThis week on the show, we are honored by the voice and wisdom of Carrie Gane, astrologer, sound healer, spiritual counselor, and deeply wise woman. I am deeply joyful to have her here in this space with me, as she has been so deeply influential on my own healing journey. This is one of two parts in our conversation. In this part of the conversation, Carrie is introducing her latest work with astrology. She is teaching a class that is being offered within the recently opened Original Medicine Healing School. She takes us through the foundations of five areas i...2021-02-221h 02Wisdom of Wyse Women PodcastYour Power Is Your Promised LandThis week on the show, I am talking about the seat of our power as a truest essence and the medicine we carry in to be created in this lifetime. We are inherently powerful beings. And, we have to reckon with who we think we are, and who we truly are in order to know and stand in our true and full power. Our reckoning is the gateway that takes us through the shadowlands of what has been giving us what I call the "roiling belly" feeling, which is the threat of being divided from our power. When we feel...2021-02-1545 minWisdom of Wyse Women PodcastYour Mission is Blessed by SpiritThis week's episode is a two parted riff on belonging to your mission because it is blessed by Spirit, and what to do when external forces try to divide you from your mission and its blessing. We start off by getting back into our bodies and allowing the words "your mission is blessed by Spirit" to wash over us. What does your body want you to know? How does your heart respond? We are all looking for the mission that lights us up and feels like YES. This comes through different ways of accessing and reintegrating with all parts of u...2021-02-0851 minWisdom of Wyse Women PodcastThe Celtic Light Festival of ImbolicIn this episode, I am sharing wisdom about the Celtic Light Festival of Imbolic, the first festival in the wheel of the year. This festival honors the middle of the season--the transitional time between winter and spring when the days are beginning to get longer and we are seeing the first rays of longer light. This is the festival that honors the goddess Brigid. She is a triple goddess that assist with the gifts of Smithing, Healing and Poetry. She also is the holder of a sacred flame. The flame is representation of two things, both of which are also...2021-02-0130 minWisdom of Wyse Women PodcastTrue Belonging + Validation on a Shamanic PathThis week is a solo jam on a sticky topic for a lot of us; one that feels very collective as well as deeply personal. Belonging. Validation. What are these things? What do they look like when they are in their light qualities? What does it mean to truly belong? These are the deep questions that I am riffing on through the lens of my own experience as I walk a shamanic path for my life. I'm discussing this within two different realities: one is the very real experience of being socially isolated due to our technological culture (everyone constantly...2021-01-2544 minWisdom of Wyse Women PodcastRe-Membering Our Sovereignty, with Rebecca AnneIn this beautiful episode, I am joined by Rebecca Anne, researcher and re-memberer of the Divine Feminine, for a deep dive exploration of re-claiming and re-membering our sovereignty. Rebecca is a researcher and academic, and she is a deeply spiritual, wise and sacred woman. Her work is centered on the transitional period between childhood and adulthood--that sticky phase we name adolescence. Our exchange takes us on a dance with religious constructs (particularly those rooted in particular denominations of Christianity), the challenges of the distorted masculine, and brings us into a space of reckoning, retrieval, and re-membering. She takes us into h...2021-01-181h 24Wisdom of Wyse Women Podcast2020, WrappedThis episode is short and sweet. It’s an acknowledgment of the year that so many of us have had, and it’s a blessing for the inspiration and expansion that is to come. As we wind down into the last few days of 2020, I’m hoping we all take a moment to see and value all the efforts we have made towards our own evolution. Whatever those moments may have looked like, they are ours, and they brought us something important. So here I am, celebrating you and seeing you for all you have done and moved though. And I’m wi...2020-12-2804 minWisdom of Wyse Women PodcastOut of My Own Light, with Louise BichanThis week, we welcome Louise Bichan, a wonderful Scottish fiddle player and photographer from the Orkney Islands, to the show. In this episode, Louise takes us along on her journey, from growing up in Orkney with the music and culture of her true home echoing in her bones and flowing through her blood, to her time in Glasgow and expanding out into the music scene there, to an adventure across Canada on a project to uncover the stories of her matrilineal line that led to the birth of her album "Out of My Own Light. She takes us on a...2020-12-211h 37Wisdom of Wyse Women PodcastThe Shaman's DeathThe Shaman's Death is more than a topic for this week's show, it has been the reality I and many others have been living over the last 13 lunar cycles of the year 2020. The shaman's death is an initiatory process, a rite of passage, that brings us from one form of existence and shapes us into a completely new one. In our process of dismemberment, we become the shapeshifter, and in this episode, I am taking you through what it means to die the shaman's death. The Shaman's Death is the experience in life when one moves through a loss or...2020-12-141h 00Wisdom of Wyse Women PodcastPermission to RestWelcome to all of you who are tuning in to the show this week. I am so joyful and glad to have you. This has been quite the year, much has happened, much has been moved through.

As we move through this season, I am reclaiming time and space for my vision as it opens up and offers more clarity as I move into a new direction on my path. That means that this...2020-11-3034 minWisdom of Wyse Women PodcastWeaving Beauty + Re-Birth into Being, with Kylie McBeathOn this week's episode, I am hosting Kylie McBeath, a vibrant, abundant and deeply wise and intelligent woman. Kylie is unapologetic about her purpose and the truth that she embodies to fulfill it. Our time together takes us deep into the origins of our human existence, beginning with our first families and the patterns, beliefs, and teachings that we receive from it to navigate our world. We get into the richness of what happens when we move from survival strategies and enmeshment to initiation into individuation. This includes the healing journey of sourcing anything from the external (think perfectionism, being "...2020-11-231h 28Wisdom of Wyse Women PodcastThe Wild PathThis week on the pod, we are covering the poem that I wrote about the commitment and devotion to the Wild Path. The Wild Path is the one chosen by your unique voice, your soul self, who is ready to take the lead to guide you through and on, beyond all limitations and fears, and bring you Home to the truth of your life in this incarnation. This episode is going to be wisdom with a touch of literary analysis to pull forward the archetypal wisdom and patterns that I have woven into the writing piece. After we dive into...2020-11-1636 minWisdom of Wyse Women PodcastSelf-Nourishment - Meditation EpisodeIn this episode, I am welcoming you to a gentle, restorative space of safety and presence with all that is nourishing. There has been a lot of wonky, anxious, and heavy energy swirling around and culminating over the last week, and in this show, I intend to give space to the nourishing, the peaceful, the re-balance as we bring ourselves into a meditation practice to call in deep feelings of self-nourishment. Often, we are pulled away from our nourishment when anxiety and overstimulation hit. It is important for us to re-turn towards our own sense, feeling, and experience of nourishment s...2020-11-0916 minWisdom of Wyse Women PodcastUnraveling EntanglementsA year and a day in review.

Katherine Bell, PhD, DDThis episode is all about shadow work and soul work during the season of both the shadows and the soul, Scorpio. This is a deep, deep episode, and one with the great undulating motif of shadow work, the jungian concept that Katherine breaks down for us clearly and with much compassion. We are talking all about Scorpio season and the literal and physical darkness we will enter into with its energy. With it, comes Samhain and the veil being lifted for humanity to step through and begin the cultivation of light into the shadows. By moving from the outer realm...2020-10-261h 09Wisdom of Wyse Women PodcastWhen the Veil is LiftedThe archetype of the veil is one that we use when we talk about making the transition from what is to what will be. We, like a bride, stand ready to remove the covering that keeps us from our future destiny; one that may include big endings, losses, changes and that ask us to move through them as grace agents. On the other side of the veil is also connection to our sacred dreams and desires and re-union with All that we are and will Become. Scorpio energy lends itself heavily to the investigation and journey beyond the veil. What...2020-10-1944 minWisdom of Wyse Women PodcastCourage, Bravery + ResilienceWelcome to this week's solo jam on Courage, Bravery and Resilience, friends! We are getting deep with these qualities, which the foundations of the embodied Warrior archetype. To help get us into this riff, I am telling (reading) a story that I wrote about my journey with these qualities, and how they came up differently in past phases of my life. Archetypal wisdom is all about listening beneath the surface, connecting story to your own story and truth, and holding yourself open to the striking of resonance that may come from 'hearing' what is being shared. I'll invite you to...2020-10-1254 minWisdom of Wyse Women PodcastFinding Balance, in RelationshipThis week's riff on the Wisdom of Wyse Women Podcast is a continued flow of last's weeks, where I was jamming on finding balance in flow. This week, we are getting into finding our balance, returning to center point, when we are relationship with beloved others. At the time this episode is being released, we are about halfway through Libra season of 2020, and many of us are feeling the pull of that energy to align with our own sense of balance through Right Relationship. Through this energy, we can attune to the desire for flow and harmony in the spaces...2020-10-0527 minWisdom of Wyse Women PodcastFinding Balance, in FlowThis weeks episode is all about finding balance in the flow of life. This is such a difficult and deeply needed process of change right now. So many people have been expressing their inability to sustain themselves in the life they once had. That pull, the constant grind, just wasn't or isn't feeling Right anymore, With the worldwide changes this pandemic has brought, most of us have experienced change that has touched every part of our lives.

I am your host Kristi Derkacy, and I am so excited + grateful to have you here with me as we riff on resting + water energy. You may be looking for the connection there, and I am going to say this: water as a symbol can represent the emotions, the womb, healing, and the depths of the subconscious. So when we are resting in a watery state, so to speak, we are probably doing some really deep work. There is likely some...2020-09-1423 minWisdom of Wyse Women PodcastGo Where You’re GuidedWelcome to this week's solo jam on going where you're guided. Part of the way we walk in an aligned way is by heeding the advice, guidance, and feelings we get from our Higher Selves and the external guides in our lives. These can be people who understand our path and have a solid voice of mentorship for us. They can be spiritual beings, like angels, power animals, or beings from other realms. They can also be plants and earth spirits who wish to share a message with us. This divine, higher guidance is always available to us, and when...2020-09-071h 05Wisdom of Wyse Women PodcastKeep Going. We Need You.Welcome to the Wisdom of Wyse Women Podcast!

We start by talking about what shamanism is: it is a way of life, a way of relating to the self, the earth, and to others, including plants, animals and people. The call to shamanism is a striking resonance that shows up and then, like a drum beat, grows louder and stronger until it resonates off the bone. That's when you know it has come for you. It is a lifestyle t...2020-08-101h 04Wisdom of Wyse Women PodcastLunar Attunement MeditationsThis episode is a compilation of the meditations + journaling practices from each lunar attunement episode of the mini series.

We have shaped and crafted our intentions during the New Moon, and now we rebirth ourselves into these intentions. All of the introspection and work we’ve done during our time of rest has prepared us to rebirth with a plan of action that aligns with our intentions. These phases of the moon, Crescent, First Quarter, and Gibbous, are the maiden archetype. She is curious, fresh, able, and excited and willing to shape her life to suit her desires. That’s the energy of the waxing moon. “What do I want...2020-07-2727 minWisdom of Wyse Women PodcastLunar Attunement: Moving Inward + Toward New Beginnings with the New MoonThe New Moon is a sacred time because it marks the complete shed of old identities and stories. It is also a powerful time for connection to Spirit and to Self. Our intuition is heightened at this phase, so we are able to tap it for direction to form new intentions for the future. We can feel safe to sit in stillness and let ourselves and the next steps on our path be revealed to us. The zodiacal sign that the Moon and Sun are in at this time exert a powerful energy as well that can be harnessed to...2020-07-201h 04Wisdom of Wyse Women PodcastA Reality of Chaos, A Hope of Calm: Opportunity for Healing after Domestic Abuse, with Cindra ReybaThis week on the podcast, I had the tremendous opportunity to talk with Cindra Reyba, founder of Stillwaters Ministries.

They are in the building phase) on the intention of providing housing, safety, and re-construction of the self to women who have lived in patterns of domestic abuse.

During the disseminating phase, the light is still strong and almost full, and we are riding our high from the celebration, fruition + excitement of the Full Moon, feeling in our full energy + power. As the Moon wanes, the gratitude for the powerful, expansive experienced comes flooding in. We are still enthusiastic, and welcoming all that our big experiences are showing us and teaching us. We are actively sharing with others. We are excited about the blocks we have been...2020-07-0626 minWisdom of Wyse Women PodcastLunar Attunement: Celebration + Fruition with the Full MoonThe cycles of the Moon Teach us about the phases of life: life, death, rebirth; growing, evolving, becoming, Revision.

When people leave our lives, be it a partner, friends, a job, co-workers, it is a difficult thing to sit with. It brings change where we hadn’t anticipated change to appear. We feel raw and hurt and unsure. These are all invitations to do the hard thing and ask each of our emotions and feelings to tell us more. To invite the grief that can and should always follow an ending, especially ones that ar...2020-06-1545 minWisdom of Wyse Women PodcastDrink of Choice: Examining Our Relationship to SubstanceOn this episode of the Wisdom of Wyse Women Podcast, I’m jamming solo about a topic I know pretty intimately—the habits and patterns in life that create relationship with substance. This is the morning coffee, drink-to-take-the-edge off, smoke-a-little-something-to -take-away-the-big-feelings kind of habits we keep around in our lives because, well, they’ve been around and we haven’t questioned their existence. Until now. There is nothing wrong with these substances in themselves, and using them is perfectly alright. Getting clear on relationship with them, and what drives us to reach for them is the tough question we ask ourselve...2020-06-0146 minWisdom of Wyse Women PodcastThirty Blessings + Pieces of Wisdom Over Thirty Years — Special EpisodeIn this special episode, I am jamming on the beauty of entering a new decade of life—I am now crossing the golden gateway into my thirties.

Here, I take the time to reflect on the wisdom, blessings and big lessons that I have gained over the last decade and over my lifetime. I experienced my twenties as what I am affectionately calling a “trash can fire of a decade” because it was such a slow, steady, intense burn down of my life.

What is the space between, anyway? It’s that time between big endings that have created change and space in their wake, and before we are ready to step fully I to a new beginning. It’s the time when we look to stillness and time out to re-discover our vision. It’s the dismantling phase that comes before a full rebirth. And it can be confusing, challenging, and a bunch of stuff can co...2020-05-0451 minWisdom of Wyse Women PodcastYoga, Reiki, & A Synchronous Path with Carrie PokorneyThis week on Wisdom of Wyse Women Podcast, I am joined by a member of the light working community, Carrie Pokorney.

I share a personal narrative of a powerful experience of being witnessed by a group of women. It came at a time when I so deeply needed it. Being witnessed means we allow ourselves to come just as we are, with all our messiness, all of our emotions and feelings, and all of what is in our heads and hearts and just BE.

We mirror nature in our abilities to regenerate and restore ourselves, when we take the time to tap into that powerful part of us and integrate it into our energy, spirit, mind and body.

We are used to busy, noisy, external activity-filled existences, but are now being asked to open up to a very different way of living and relating. We are being asked to choose ourselves, and have been granted the time to do so. Not just the parts that we know already, but also the parts that have been avoided, ignored, suppressed and kept in the dark for most of our lives. Because the truth is, all of who we are deserves our attention. It all has something to...2020-04-0638 minWisdom of Wyse Women PodcastWe’re Doing Our Best, And So Are TheyWhen we have been conditioned to believe or expect that we “our best” has to look something like perfection, we take on a heavy load. It weighs down the relationship we have with ourselves with unmet expectations, and it spills onto our other relationships, too. Here, we are discussing the freedom and peace that comes with accepting that everyone around us, ourselves included, are all truly doing the best that we can. Their best may look and feel different than our best, and that is ok. Other people are not in our lives for us to try to change them. That...2020-03-3038 minWisdom of Wyse Women PodcastWhat Am I Here For?We get into that big deep question: what am I here for? What is my purpose?
