The Wild Ones

This is this farewell episode of You’re So Bohemian podcast, and I’m glad to go out with a bang. This interview with Amy Vasterling is so, so, so good!

Amy Vasterling is an intuitive reader who teaches people how to trust themselves so they can shine brighter. She is a teacher, public speaker, and challenger of the status quo.

Amy was the youngest of five children and her parents greatly influenced her path as an intuitive. She eventually realized that her mother was a narcissist who had a difficult time letting her children in and letting go. As a clairvoyant, she had experiences in her teens where she could see a spot in her mom’s solar plexus that would let go at times where her mom was challenged enough to let go of her story.

She has been a clairvoyant--a clear seer who is able to see beyond the physical realm--since she was in the crib. All of intuition is about senses, so some people also experience clairaudience, clairsentience, clairscent, clairagency, clairgustance, and clairempathy and Amy is able to access all of these and notes that these intuitions build upon each other. Some might call her a multisensory, but she explains why she prefers to call herself an intuitive.

Amy meets many of her clients when they are at the mid-point of their seeking journeys when they are looking for ways to self-soothe and come back to themselves. She says that there is a point where seeking stops being soothing and isn’t quite fulfilling their questions.

Amy says the energies have put the world into a stage of individuation which began in 2013. The term comes from the work of Carl Jung, and Amy notes that we are coming to terms with “I am” and figuring out how to own our “self.” She feels that she’s been on a 34-year journey of awakening herself and found that trusting herself was key to growing as an intuitive. Another key has been getting better and better at asking questions in her readings; therefore, she has come to see her clairvoyance as a skill rather than as a gift.

She advises those who are looking to hone their intuitive skills to remain curious and meditate. It also helps to read for others in a group of trusted people. She began asking friends to recommend one of their friends creating two steps of separation. Tools such as Oracle cards, a pendulum, and automatic writing can also reinforce knowings.

When I asked Amy three things she’d like my audience to keep in mind she discusses:

• Inner peace come through a constant state of surrender.
• Attend to self-empowerment through meditation during these trying times.
• We must surpass fear to self-express and get to a place of self-fulfillment.

We also discuss how moving through thresholds of fear lead to self-expression. We are dismantling a lot of structures right now and people returning to a balancing point. In the current energies, there is a big push toward self-expression so we are getting a lot of what Amy calls “the freak show.” The last few turbulent years have not allowed us to turn a blind eye to what is going on in the world, and this has been a catalyst for change. We conclude the episode, and the show, by discussing all of the incredible changes that women around the world have been creating and how these women’s movements align with the energies.

Jennifer Colletti is a certified health coach and ayurvedic specialist. Her teachings are from the heart and she follows her passion for healing. After her own fertility journey, she awoke to a new vision--one where women share, learn, and support each other. I was blown away by her authenticity and this is one of my favorite episodes. If you enjoy this discussion with Jennifer, you find more of her on a secret episode all about gut health.

Jennifer began exploring this area by learning about how to safely guide her clients through yoga because of hormonal changes and looseness in the joints. Her intuition told her that her fertility journey might not be the easiest and she was tested for thyroid issues.

She started hearing terms like “advanced maternal age” since she was over 35 and “geriatric pregnancy” which applies to women over 40. Further testing revealed she also had endometriosis and her husband had lower numbers for morphology and motility. She also did find out that she was dealing with a hypothyroid condition. She remembers feeling like she was on an emotional freight train and dealing with emotional, financial, and spiritual issues.

Jennifer discusses how holistic medicine and Western medicine take different approaches to medical issues. Each has a different set of tools in their toolboxes.

Soon she was overwhelmed with procedures, shorts, and ultrasounds. One of her nurses gave her some simple--but monumental advice--”just take it one step at a time.” She and her husband were able to connect to friends who had successfully conceived through IVF. They also made a pact to look at each other square in the eye and ask “Do you have any more questions” at the end of the appointment before any medical professional left the room.

After implantation, there was a two-week wait before the pregnancy test. After 48 hour bedrest she felt like she was tip-toeing around, but today she tells her clients to do things that nourish themselves 110% like getting a massage or spending time with really great friends.

One month after a positive pregnancy test, a nurse was unable to find a heartbeat. After a very difficult stretch, they went back for a second attempt with a new protocol. They were cautiously optimistic, but did achieve a pregnancy and found out they were expecting twins. A few months in they lost of one of the twins and remained under heavy monitoring for the duration of the pregnancy. She did give birth to a happy, healthy boy who is now eleven years old. Jennifer discusses the importance of reassurance and trying your best to remain in a positive state, but she acknowledges her nervous system did not calm down until he was “earth side.”

To this day, she remembers the exact moment she was sitting in a car with her husband stopped at a corner with her husband when she realized what she wanted to pursue ways to share her gifts with others going through fertility journey. She knew they were not the only couple going through this, but she often felt that way. She wanted to share the tools, emotional support, and community with other women.

Jennifer discusses the role that autoimmune disorders play in miscarriage. Additionally, nutrition and supplementation can really improve fertility. Finally, she advises women to surrender since we can not manage our way through this journey with “type-A” strategies. We have to take the effort and listen to our bodies. She shares a horse-riding visualization she likes to use during meditation since holding the reins too tightly can bring the horse to an abrupt stop.

Jennifer teaches a drop-in class that is part support group and part restorative yoga. Additionally, she has a monthly class on restorative yoga and essential oils.

Flashback to my first podcast!  Powerful Questions w/Jenner

The Quality of your life is determined by the quality of the questions that you ask. In each episode, Jenner offers a question for you to connect with your own truth.

Today’s question is: What is the Most Important Thing to You?  

On the surface, this question appears simple and most people have a knee-jerk response. However, this is a perfect example of why I tell my listeners and life-coaching clients to stay with the question. I’ve found that people first, knee-jerk response is rarely ever what the most important thing in their life is true.   I was recently listening to an episode of the Tim Ferris podcast featuring Debbie Millman. 

For decades, Millman had thought that the most important thing for her was making it as a designer. But after some self-reflection, she realized that living in Manhattan actually turned out to be a priority that was driving her life. She found herself living in a “decrepit” and “deplorable” little apartment to make this happen.   

The answer to this question often changes over time. That’s because I’m not asking, “What is your life’s purpose?” I’m asking you to dive deep on the factors that hold the most sway over your life.  

This question became really important for me over the past few years as my husband and I have been on a fertility journey together. At that time I would have said the most important thing to me was “to have a family.”

However, when I stuck with the question I came to realized that the more accurate answer would be “to be a stay-at-home mom with a career I love.” Staying with the question has lead me to the best career of my life,  enrolling the help of a nutritionist and opening up a conversation about adoption.  

Now, go get BIG!

This is the first installment of my new monthly series called Monthly Rituals, I know original. I want this to be a way to share the tools and modalities that I use, and I am planning to align these rituals with the energy of the month.

This episode will release the week of my mom’s birthday which is October 2nd. It will be her first birthday we will be celebrating without her here with us in the physical sense. To remember her, I have invited her brother and sisters and other family members over to plant a tree in my backyard and come together for stories and support.

This month we are in the midst of Libra energy, the scales of justice. And there is always a need to rebalance ourselves, so this month I am going to share my six secrets to finding balance.

1. Flower essences: I’ve been using these for a while because I am very empathic, so I have been using Elm and Walnut. For my grief, I have been using Wild Rose and Star of Bethlehem. Wild Rose is for those times when you feel all of the joy has been sucked out of your life. Star of Bethlehem works to neutralize grief. Below are some links to my favorite brands.
2. Cleaning up the diet: In general, I watch my diet very closely, but after the funeral, many friends and relatives brought over comfort food. I found myself eating more sugar, more bread, and more wine than normal. After giving myself a grace period, I shifted to healing my gut. Scientists are finding that the gut plays an incredibly important role in the production of serotonin, the happiness hormone.
3. Soaking up the sun and vitamin D: The sun is a source of energy and healing. Allow yourself to smile and bask in this creative energy. I most enjoy planting my feet in the ground and allowing the earth and the sky to both support me. I just realized that the first three items on this list are healing modalities from the earth! I’m such a Virgo!
4. Get vulnerable with friends and family: I’ve noticed a few times over the past couple months how some of my friends have shared on social media, and I’ve been heartened by the support they’ve gotten. I was moved to share my mom’s eulogy online. My husband and I wrote her eulogy and included several pieces of her own writing. At the end, I asked people to let me know if they had read the whole thing, and I was so touched by the people who connected to my mom and got to know her the way I did.
5. Acceptance: One of the most important tools during a difficult time is finding ways to finding an appropriate level of self-acceptance. I’ve realized I’ve been really hard on myself for sleeping in often, and I’ve had several recent clients who have been wanting to do away with a Netflix addiction. Instead of beating yourself up, I suggest journaling and other forms of introspection to examine what’s really going on.
6. Breathwork: If you’ve been following my work for a while, you know the power of breathwork to push through blockages, grief, trauma, and wounds. The first time I ever did breathwork I called my husband immediately to tell him all about “the most amazing thing I just did.”

I have a 30-minute breathwork meditation on releasing grief and trauma, and I have added it the “Secret Episodes” section of my Patreon. These bonus episodes and special content are available to patrons at the five dollars a month level. Here is a link if you are interested in learning more.
