Episode 101: Breastmilk is Magic, and other Natural Witchcraft with Dr. Mel Hobart-Beaumari
Audacity Works
10/02/24 • 83 min
Welcome to Audacity Works, for my next guest please enjoy while I share with you one of my favorite humans on earth, coven sibling, youthful dancing partner, and lifelong anam cara, Dr. Mel Hobart-Beaumari . Dr. Mel (aka Dr HB) is a primary care physician who practices in Seattle Washington. They hold a naturopathic doctorate degree and did a teaching residency with a strong focus on community health. Their current practice has a little bit of everything, but a lot of women's health, gender affirming care, gut health, and pediatrics. They also continue to teach and lecture on a regular basis. Outside of medicine they are an avid rock climber and try to get outside as much as possible. Their route to medicine (and climbing) was circuitous and started with a short lived but precious semi-career as a modern dancer and some time spent homesteading in the mountains of North Carolina.
What you'll hear:

Morning Pages: how to do them, how to not do them, and what to do if they bore the pants off of you
Audacity Works
08/16/23 • 20 min
Can morning pages be done in the afternoon, or even at night? Can you do them incorrectly?
Drawing from my own experiences with morning pages, a journaling exercise introduced by author Julia Cameron in her acclaimed book The Artist's Way, welcome to my soap box about the flexibility of this practice—it doesn't have to be a morning ritual for everyone, and there's absolutely no one-size-fits-all approach. We delve into my journaling adventures, from how I create an inspiring ambience for writing, to choosing a pen that sparks joy. We'll tackle the common ennui that occasionally strikes during morning pages. Uncover creative strategies to reignite your interest for this practice, from altering your writing schedule to penning letters from different perspectives— even from your own body parts.
