Do you practice rituals?

Of course you do. You may just not recognize them by that name.

Rituals are the daily practices we engage in for ourselves to find comfort and healing.

It can look like any mindfulness practice.

And oh, is it ever made sweeter when you've got a beautiful candle, a deck of cards or an aura spray to enhance your experience!

"I just want to make pretty shit and put it out into the world." - Alauna

Alauna Whelan is an artist and alchemist. She creates talisman jewelry and wellness-centered ritual goods.

From her studio on the Saskatchewan prairies, Alauna handcrafts goods in small batches focusing on utilizing high-quality materials and botanically based ingredients.

She creates beautiful objects inspired by old-world mysticism and astrology.

Really, it's all about getting in tune with the rhythms of your body and nature.

We chatted about:

- Her journey from Chemical Technologist to Healer + Maker
- What are Sacred Rituals
- Bringing the divine feminine into business
- Connecting with Mother Nature as a sacred practice
- How to get back to the intuitive nature of wisdom practices

It's easy to forget just how far you've come.

But the craziest thing is, more often than not, we are living lives that we only once dreamed of.

Today's quick chat is my response to a lovely woman on IG who told me I was "so much more committed" than she is.

It felt important to record my thoughts on this one.

Did it help?

DM me on Instagram about it:

Every once in awhile, an email will come across my inbox that makes me stop and then makes me smile in deep appreciation.

The way Judy Machado connected with me was just like that.

I opened my email inbox to find the most genuine, thoughtful, loving message from this total stranger about how impactful my podcast is and how beautiful my mission of empowering women is. I was immediately drawn to this woman's kindness and then, when we got to dive into her zone of genius: sacred cacao, I was completely hooked.

Judy is the Author of Life Purpose Playbook and the Founder of Goddess Temple Cacao. She is an incredible teacher of this sacred plant medicine.

Entrepreneur, Coach & business owner, Judy was recently a Partner of a bean to bar chocolate company. She became infatuated with the spiritual history and significance of Cacao and whole heartily connected to the Spirit of this heart opening, Consciousness-raising plant medicine.


Over the years, she deepened her connection with the plant and began to experience a profound relationship with the Cacao higher Consciousness, receiving profound messages to share with the world.

Judy has been exponentially transformed through her profound relationship with Sacred Cacao. She's grateful and Honoured to share this powerful plant medicine with others.

And the best part? YOU CAN FEEL IT FROM HER when she speaks about it.

This is hands down one of my FAVOURITE conversations I've ever had the pleasure to record. I will personally revisit this one many times because of the wisdom that Judy shared within it.

"In order to evolve, you must experience love backwards - evol, love - we live in this duality. We've come here to experience the darkness so that we can remember our light."
- Judy Machado

 

We chatted about:

- The curious story that brought Judy to working with ceremonial cacao
- Master plants, Teacher plants and how Collective Consciousness works
- Theobroma, or "the food of Gods and Goddesses"
- Sacred relationships and what constitutes them
- Conditioning, limiting beliefs and ego stories vs. our true nature
- Plant medicines
- Her gorgeous morning routine
- An incredible story at the end of our chat that almost had me in tears

"If you have a pulse, you have a parasite." Today's conversation is allllll about the GUT. Something we all have, and something most of us struggle with. If you've ever dealt with IBS, bloating, cramping, headaches, teeth grinding, moodiness, constipation, loose stools, acne, food poisoning, etc. THIS IS FOR YOU.

Rachel Kalmar (@liviawellness) and I connected on the 'gram and became INSTANT bffs, nerding out about all things gut health and parasites (something we've both dealt with extensively).

Rachel Kalmar is a Certified Nutritional Practitioner (Holistic Nutritionist) and is based in Toronto, Canada but serves clients virtually from all over the globe. Rachel's practice focuses on gut health through her signature Gut Rehab program. She also focuses on the importance of ingredients in our foods and how they contribute to our health. She is passionate about helping you overcome your frustrating gut symptoms and giving you the support you need to finally heal.

We chat about everything from health anxiety to antibiotics to killing and cleansing parasites, future self journalling, the vagus nerve and so much more! It was such a beautiful conversation and I can't wait for you to tune in!

100 episodes?! Holy fricken chicken noodle soup! THAT is a cool milestone! I am so honoured that you're here with me on this journey. And to celebrate 100 podcast conversations, I recorded a special chat for you about a really spiritual moment I experienced last weekend. It started with a major snowfall we got in my city. And ended with me laying on my back in the dark in the park, covered in snow.

You'll soon see what I'm talking about!

Want to help me celebrate the podcast hitting 100 conversations?! Could you take 1 minute and leave a fun review + 5 star rating on iTunes?? It would mean the world to me, as that allows more lovely people to find + listen to the podcast! Plus, I totally have words of affirmation as a love language and would really appreciate hearing from the wonderful people who enjoy my weekly musings!

I'm always in your corner,

Marie

Have you ever turned to baking, making or painting as a form of stress relief and relaxation?

There's a lot of fascinating science behind art therapy, and today's conversation dives into this topic in real time with my new friend, and local ceramacist, photographer, artist and lover of good vibes, Jocelyn De Moissac.

We have a very real, everyday woman chat about what art as therapy means for us and how Jocelyn got started creating beautiful, simple ceramics during a hard time in her life.

I appreciated the rawness of this conversation and I have a feeling it'll help you feel a little more seen and a little less crazy, wherever you're at.
