10/06/18 • 106 min
Featuring Angie Franklin of Afro Yoga
If I didn’t define myself for myself, I would be crunched into other people’s fantasies for me and eaten alive – Audre Lorde
The moments with womxn and folks that I interview feel like such gifts. Its as if time and the universe has forged our friendship that may have been from lifetimes ago, yet is arriving at exactly the right time.
This for me, was how I felt after talking to Angie. We talk spiritual fierceness, internal strength and compassion for ourselves and for others.
We recorded this in August, yet it feels fitting as move into Fall, and what it feels like when we truly give ourselves permission to slow down.
Show Note: In the intro I say undeserved communities in reference to who Angie is support, when I meant to say under-served communities. Please note this error, and apologies for this mistake.
In This Episode
- Strength Is Within
- Community Values & What is Service?
- How do you live your work?
- How Struggle Can Drive Strength
- Aquarius & Sagittarius Bonds Are Real!

Featuring Ayesha Ophelia of the Girlfriend Manifesto
"Love is simply the name for the desire and pursuit of the whole."When I spoke to Ayesha we immediately synced into the rhythms of voice and connected fields of conversation.
When I first spoke to Ayesha, there was a moment of such inspiration. I felt immediately connected to her story, and the way she had embarked on her journey of becoming. I still am in awe of her ability to carry and hold all that she does with such grace, and such dedication.
When the podcast launched on the solstice this year (whoa! Its only been two months!) I was floored when I saw that Ayesha was offering Wild Hearts Symposium
We talk of so many things, and what a perfect way to begin our threshold crossing of summer's final daze, and the steps into Fall's sweet embrace.
Things covered in this episode:
- Modern Mystic-Who are you?
- What gathering as womxn does for soul
- How we tend to what matters in our place of belonging

The Hermit: Being Alone is Mystery's Gift with Callie Heron of Pachamama Apothecary
Featuring Callie Heron of Pachamama Apothecary
“The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek”- Joseph Campbell
The time I spend alone means volumes to me. It allows me the opportunity to settle in and dig deep. I want to really implore here a few things. It is a deep privilege to be alone. It takes time and energy. I also do not want to discount anyone who has mental health concerns around being alone and is suffering from their own trauma due to loneliness. In this circumstance, there is simply no conditioning to this experience, it something that you have had to hold and be with throughout your lifetime.
Callie and I talk of her time in the show Alone. She spent 72 days on a solo quest in Patagonia. The Hermit carries their beacon of knowledge on their journey. They bring wisdom forth from their time alone. We talk of what it likes to take space away from societal constructions, and see whats left when we leave identity behind.
In this Episode
- Alone vs. Lonely
- Origin Story of Pachamama
- Viewing yourself as your best friend
- How something takes time to cultivate, and we really don’t fully recognize
