So many of us feel deep grief, overwhelm and even lost in the midst of the ecological and upheaval we are facing collectively. It's not easy to know what to do, where to turn, what actions are meaningful and worth our time.

The truth is our nervous systems are not made for the level of constant stimulation and overflowing awareness that we are being exposed to. We need to honor our capacity, and yet it is so hard to look away.

So what can we do? What can help the earth around us, our communities, ourselves?

We chat all about this - from an ecological lens Kendra Hoffman calls EarthCare - on today's episode.

She's developed a framework including 4 core principles and practices that align with the directions and the seasons, and are really accessible to help begin or deepen your reciprocal relationship with the earth and other beings around you.

We chat about traditional ancestral lifeways and how returning to the roots of our roots is needed in these times, and how you can explore this no matter whether you live in a city, the suburbs or a more rural place.

There's so much embodied earth wisdom in this one, I'm excited for you to hear it.

It's officially Springtime here in the northern hemisphere, which means so many of our plant friends are returning!

Some of those wild weeds might be exactly the herbs that can help you as we transition from deep winter into the heat of summer.

But the term "spring tonic" can be confusing and vague, like what does that even mean?

And how can we effectively incorporate them into our lives -- which actions are most important and what herbs are good options?

I cover all of this and more in this week's episode.

Postpartum is an immense time of transition that includes not only having a new baby, but also navigating a massive hormonal cliff, recovery after birth, body changes, erratic sleep schedules, identity change and so much more.

So where does pleasure, sexuality, sensuality and eroticism come in?

And how do we enter into that space with attunement, tenderness, self-awareness and... perhaps most importantly embodied consent?

Most mamas and birthing parents are given the go-ahead to engage in sex again at 6 or 8 weeks by their provider, but many are not ready - at all (let's normalize this).

Just because your tissues are healed enough to safely engage in sexual intercourse does NOT mean you have to start doing it again. There are SO MANY WAYS to experience pleasure and orgasm and sex that do not have to involve intercourse.

And listening to your body, your mind, your spirit is paramount. What you want and what you like might be entirely different from before.

Sexological bodyworker and sex educator Gal Mar-Qz shares all about these topics and much more on today's episode.

We also explore some practices you can bring into your body, your partnership or even your parenting life that may be very helpful as you re-discover who you are now as you blend the identities of mother and erotic being.

I hope this conversation feels like a gift for you!
