Send us Fan Mail In this episode of Rekallabrate: The Podcast, I sit down with my homie Colin—better known as NUBS—for a conversation about music, creativity, mental health, being different, chasing dreams, & what happens when you finally take the f*****g mask off. Nubs was born without arms or legs. He also drives, rolls & lights his own blunts, makes beats, raps, sings, produces music, creates artwork, is a dad, & is genuinely one of the most capable, creative, driven & inspiring humans I know. But this conversation isn't really about all the shit Nubs can do without limbs. It's about who he is underneath all of it. We start by talking about music, Odd Squad Family, his upcoming solo project Dream Chasin', creativity, comparison, social media & the weird reality of chasing success after you've already gotten a taste of it. Nubs talks about learning that you don't get the hits by chasing hits. You have to fall back in love with the thing you're creating in the first place. & then we go somewhere much deeper. Nubs opens up about experiencing severe anxiety & panic attacks, going to therapy, learning how to communicate with himself, & realizing that for much of his life, “Nubs” had also been a mask—a version of himself he created in an attempt to feel normal, accepted & like he belonged. We talk about: creativity, music & chasing dreamscomparison & the absolute mindfuck that is social mediadiscipline vs. giving yourself gracewhy success is absolutely not f*****g linearfalling back in love with your art instead of chasing numbersanxiety, panic attacks & therapylearning how to actually communicate with yourselfgrowing up without seeing anyone who looked like youbeing treated the same while also desperately needing someone to acknowledge that you ARE differentself-acceptance & taking the f*****g mask offwhy fitting in doesn't necessarily mean you belonghate comments, triggers, projections & the stories we secretly believe about ourselvesparenting & wondering whether you're doing a good enough jobauthenticity & why motivational shit hits differently when you've actually lived itshowing up even when you aren't at your bestnever stopping f*****g dreaming At one point Nubs says something that I think sums up this entire conversation: Be beautifully different. Because you are. You don't have to pretend you're the same as everyone else to belong here. You don't have to turn your pain into toxic positivity. You don't have to have your shit together every day. You can f**k up. You can have a bad day. You can cry on your homie's podcast. You can give yourself some f*****g grace. & then you can show up again tomorrow. This conversation made me laugh, made me think, taught me some shit about myself, & yes—I officially earned the highly prestigious Rekallabrate Podcast Medal of Honor by making Nubs cry. I f*****g love this one. 🔻 CONNECT WITH US 🔻 COLIN/NUBS: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imking.nubs Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ImNUBS/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@OnlyDreamers Website: https://oddsquadfamily.com/ KALLA PAIGE / REKALLABRATE: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rekallabrate Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rekallabrate YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/rekallabrate Website: https://www.rekallabrate.com Thank you for listening, subscribing, & leaving a 5 star review on this episode!

Send us Fan Mail In this episode of Rekallabrate: The Podcast, I sit down with my internet friend DK to talk about one of the coolest & weirdest creative practices I’ve ever encountered: bottling experiences & songs into smells. DK is trained in aromatherapy, but somewhere along the way she realized she had a gift that went way beyond the textbook use of essential oils. She can listen to a song & smell it. Meet a person & bottle their essence. Experience a trip, conversation, album, friendship, grief, memory, or moment in time & translate it into a blend of oils. Basically…she makes life smell like something. DK shares how this started with music, when she began intuitively blending oils while listening to songs & eventually handed a musician a bottle after a show and said, “This is what your music smells like to me.” Which is objectively one of the coolest f*****g things you could say to someone. We talk about smell as a form of time travel, the connection between scent, memory & emotion, & what happens when you stop trying to create something with your brain & allow yourself to become a channel for whatever wants to come through. DK also shares some WILD stories about the oils she’s created—including intuitively adding patchouli to a blend for a grieving woman only to later learn that patchouli was her late husband’s scent. Goosebumps. We get into: bottling music, people, memories & experiences into scentaromatherapy as art rather than simply something therapeuticsmell as a form of time travelscent, memory & emotionintuition, synchronicities & creative flowcreating without knowing what the f**k you’re doing firstessential oils as a kind of divination toolgetting out of your head & trusting your bodywhy DK sometimes chooses oils without even looking at the labelsthe similarities between blending oils & writing or producing musicwhy some creations happen immediately & others take YEARSpreserving moments through smellgrief, memory & the strange ways people we love can seemingly come throughkeeping something you love as art instead of forcing it into a businessletting creativity exist without needing to monetize, explain, justify, or perfect it & while this conversation is technically about essential oils, I think it’s really about something much bigger. Giving yourself permission to create weird shit. To follow the idea that makes absolutely no sense. To make something because you feel called to make it—not because it fits into a business model, makes money, follows the rules, or can be neatly explained to other people. Sometimes your weird little thing might actually be your gift. & sometimes you just have to get the f**k out of your own head long enough to find out. 🔻 CONNECT WITH US 🔻 DK / DKONCOCTIONS: Instagram @dkoncoctions: https://www.instagram.com/dkoncoctions KALLA PAIGE / REKALLABRATE: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rekallabrate Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rekallabrate YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/rekallabrate Website: https://www.rekallabrate.com Thank you for listening, subscribing, & leaving a 5 star review on this episode!

Send us Fan Mail In this episode of Rekallabrate: The Podcast, I sit down with my longtime internet friend Cassie Colón to talk about minerals, HTMA, burnout, nourishment, & what happens when we stop trying to force our bodies into wellness & actually start listening to them. Cassie is a Mineral Nutritional Balancing Practitioner specializing in Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA)—a test that uses a small sample of hair to look at mineral patterns & ratios in the body. After years of chronic fatigue, hormonal issues, digestive problems, low energy, & going from doctor to doctor looking for answers, Cassie eventually found mineral balancing. What started as her own attempt to feel better completely changed the way she understood her body & eventually became the work she now does with others. We talk about what minerals actually do in the body, what HTMA can tell us, why so many of us may be more depleted than we realize, & why healing sometimes looks a whole lot less like adding another wellness practice & a whole lot more like eating breakfast, getting enough protein, taking a f*****g nap, & slowing down. We also get into the very unsexy reality of wellness: sometimes we’re addicted to stress, stimulants, exercise, productivity, chaos, & constantly DOING something to fix ourselves when our bodies might actually be begging us to do less. We talk about: what HTMA is & what your hair can reveal about mineral patternsmineral depletion, burnout, stress & the nervous systemcalcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium & mineral ratiosslow vs. fast oxidationwhy breakfast & animal protein are such a big part of Cassie’s workcaffeine, alcohol, cannabis & stimulantsgentle detox practices like castor oil packs, sauna & red lightwomen, fertility, nourishment & learning to restour complicated millennial relationship with food, fat & our bodiespsychedelics, microdosing & whether we’re resourced enough to integrate the experiences we’re seekingcalcium shells & the emotional side of mineral balancingrelationships & the question: do you actually need to break up—or are you just f*****g depleted?learning to listen to your body instead of constantly overriding it This conversation goes way beyond minerals. It’s really about coming back into relationship with your body & questioning how much of what we’ve been taught about “health” has actually taught us to ignore it. Maybe wellness doesn’t need to be another thing we exhaust ourselves trying to achieve. Maybe you need breakfast. Maybe you need a nap. Maybe you need a steak. & maybe your body has been communicating with you this entire time. 🔻 CONNECT WITH US 🔻 CASSIE COLÓN / CASSIE’S ALTAR: Instagram @cassielee: https://www.instagram.com/___cassielee___ Website: https://cassiesaltar.com/ KALLA PAIGE / REKALLABRATE: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rekallabrate Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rekallabrate YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/rekallabrate Website: https://www.rekallabrate.com Thank you for listening, subscribing, & leaving a 5 star review on this episode!

Send us Fan Mail Pet grief is real grief. & I have to admit that even I thought there was a “hierarchy” to grief until I lost my cat after my dad died.  People act like it’s “just a dog” or “just a cat” until suddenly their entire routine, house, nervous system, & life feels wrong because that animal is gone. In this episode, Katie & I talk about pet grief, soul dogs, rescue culture, the weird side of the pet industry, puppy yoga, backyard breeding, & how losing an animal can completely change you as a person. Katie shares the story of losing her dog Champ & how that loss ended up changing the direction of her life entirely. We also talk about the reality that grief doesn’t really operate in a hierarchy. Loss is loss. & sometimes losing an animal hits people harder than losing certain humans because of the role they played in your daily life. We get into: pet grief & why people minimize itwhat a “soul dog” even isthe emotional & spiritual side of losing animalsthe ethics of rescue, breeding, & pet overpopulationwhy puppy yoga isn’t always as “cute” as it seemshow grief can crack you open in both horrible & meaningful ways This episode is sad, funny, honest, dark at times, & honestly just a really human conversation about love, loss, attachment, purpose, & the fact that animals impact our lives way more deeply than a lot of people want to admit. If you’ve ever loved or lost a pet, this one will hit home. 🔻 CONNECT WITH US 🔻 KATIE RAPKOCH / PAWS AND BREATHE AZ:  Instagram @pawsandbreatheaz: https://www.instagram.com/pawsandbreatheaz Website: https://www.pawsandbreatheaz.com/ KALLA PAIGE / REKALLABRATE: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rekallabrate Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rekallabrate YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/rekallabrate Website: https://www.rekallabrate.com Thank you for listening, subscribing, and leaving a 5 star review on this episode!

Send us Fan Mail In this episode of Rekallabrate: The Podcast, I sit down with Hayden for a deeply vulnerable conversation about grief, pregnancy loss, motherhood, & what it means to continue living after your world has been cracked open. Hayden shares her experience with pregnancy loss and the complicated, layered grief that followed—not only the loss of her baby, but the way that loss reshaped how she sees herself, her body, motherhood, & future pregnancies. We also talk about the loss of Hayden’s father & how that grief cracked something open in her life in a completely different way. Grief has a way of doing that—breaking us open, rearranging things, forcing us to look at life, death, & love in ways we never expected. Throughout this conversation we talk about something that doesn’t get said enough: grief needs to be witnessed. Not rushed. Not fixed. Not explained away. Witnessed. We talk about the anger that can come with loss, the fear that can follow pregnancy loss into future pregnancies, & the isolation so many women feel when they experience something that is actually far more common than we talk about. We also talk about claiming the identity of M O T H E R after pregnancy loss. & how grief can evolve into something that eventually becomes part of your story, your purpose, & the way you show up for others. This conversation is raw, emotional, & deeply human. Hayden shares parts of her story with incredible honesty, & that kind of vulnerability deserves to be held with care. I ask that you come to this episode with reverence and deep respect for Hayden’s willingness to be seen in her grief. My prayer is that all of us can be moved by it & perhaps learn to move through this world with a little more compassion & understanding for one another. If you have experienced loss yourself—or if you love someone who has—I hope this conversation reminds you that you are not alone. Grief is something every human will encounter in this life. & sometimes the most powerful thing we can do is simply witness it. 🔻 CONNECT WITH US 🔻 HAYDEN CURRY / THE COPPER SPIRAL:  Instagram @haydenn_curryy: https://www.instagram.com/haydenn_curryy Instagram @thecopperspiral: https://www.instagram.com/thecopperspiral Website: https://www.thecopperspiralcreative.com/ KALLA: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rekallabrate Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rekallabrate YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/rekallabrate Website: https://www.rekallabrate.com Thank you for listening, subscribing, and leaving a 5 star review on this episode!

Send us Fan Mail In this episode of rekallabrate: the podcast, I sit down with my friend Ransom, AKA Chef Ra, to talk about N O U R I S H M E N T.  This is about more than just eating or cooking. It’s about the ART of nourishment—something Ransom has made a career for himself doing! We talk about his journey from being a teacher & living nomadically to becoming a retreat chef & grounding down in one place for awhile.  Ransom chefs it up in high-intention spaces where food isn’t just fuel, it’s part of the healing, the bonding, the slowing down. When you’re cooking for high vibrational retreats, you can’t hide behind convenience. You have to source well. Plan intentionally. Consider everyone in the room. Nourishment becomes art. We get into: What it actually takes to meal plan (for a retreat or just your family) without burning outWhy sourcing quality ingredients matters more than we pretendCooking for families in a way that feels grounding instead of overwhelmingThe difference between eating quickly & being nourished deeplyMinimizing waste & respecting food as something sacred, but also not falling into the trap of eating every leftover like a garbage disposalSensual nourishment (yes, we go there!) & how presence, attention, & food create intimacy between couples & humansThe importance of praying over your food Cooking is creative. It’s practical. It’s discipline. It’s devotion. It’s deeply relational. There’s something powerful about choosing to nourish instead of just consume. About slowing down long enough to taste your food. About feeding the people you love with intention instead of autopilot. If you eat food, this one’s for you. & if you’ve been rushing through meals, disconnected from your body, or treating cooking like a chore, this episode might recalibrate the way you think about your kitchen. Food is a gift from the earth.  Cooking is an art form.  Nourishment is an investment in health & vitality for not just you, but future generations. Let’s cook, baby! 🔻 CONNECT WITH US 🔻 RANSOM / CHEF RA:  Instagram @chef.raaa: https://www.instagram.com/chef.raaa Instagram @radiant.ransom: https://www.instagram.com/radiant.ransom KALLA: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rekallabrate Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rekallabrate YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/rekallabrate Website: https://www.rekallabrate.com Thank you for listening, subscribing, and leaving a 5 star review on this episode!

Send us Fan Mail In this episode of rekallabrate: the podcast, I sit down with one of my best friends, Mikaela, a somatic guide who works with vocal activation.  We talk about something most of us were trained out of using: our V O I C E. Singing. Talking. Writing. & most importantly, speaking TRUTH. Feeling sound in your body. Letting what’s inside of you actually come out. We share our own stories about suppressing our voices, performing versions of ourselves, shrinking to keep the peace, & what it looks like to stop doing that.  Mikaela breaks down why & how the voice is an ancient healing tool, how it lives in the body, & why it’s less about “sounding good” and more about feeling HONEST. We talk about fear.  Hard conversations.  Social media personas.  AI—& the subtle (& not so subtle) homogenization of expression.  Sisterhood.  The discomfort (& freedom!) of being seen. Because in a world where algorithms reward sameness & AI can replicate tone, cadence, & even creativity—choosing to use your REAL VOICE might be one of the most rebellious things you can do. If you’ve ever felt like your voice was “too much,” “too loud,” “too emotional,” or not good enough—this conversation is 100000% for you. Your voice is an expression of your soul & it is SOLELY YOURS. Now is THE time to use it. 🔻 CONNECT WITH US 🔻 MIKAELA:  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mikaelagoldsun Website: https://mikaelasullivan.squarespace.com/ KALLA: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rekallabrate Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rekallabrate YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/rekallabrate Website: https://www.rekallabrate.com ARIA’S SONG: “I Am Enough” by Aria Kate anywhere you listen to music  Spotify Link: https://open.spotify.com/track/0WneC30M3JotywIBHKyzJ3?si=SA5AgYegRNexFvAMUS8Cqw

Send us Fan Mail In this episode, I sit down with someone who is one of my best friends, one of my teachers, & one of my all-time favorite artists, Josh AKA The Kaleidoscope Kid.  This episode is all about C R E A T I V I T Y. & trust me, we keep it real.  We talk about the creative process & what it actually looks like to write a song. Like, where do the ideas come from & what does the process look like from start to finish? Josh talks about the importance of LIVING LIFE so that you have inspiration for your art, & how sometimes even simple conversations can lead to big ideas. We also get into that rockstar life, like what it’s like to collaborate, start a band, & even go on tour. But perhaps most importantly, we talk about the real shit that comes up for EVERY artist: self-doubt, anxiety, comparison, & the hard shit. Josh gets into the importance of having supportive & inspiring people around you who simply give you permission to create & be exactly who you are. People who remind you of your talent when you might forget. This is a conversation about artistic expression, but it’s also about being human. About nurturing the reason you started creating in the first place. About living your actual life so you have something real to say. If you make things or want to make things—music, writing, a business, painting, sculpting, cooking, whatever—this one will fuel your soul & creativity. Huge shout out to Josh for being INSTRUMENTAL in the creation of this podcast. If it weren’t for him, I never would have gotten started on this journey. He made my OG cover art, was the first interview I ever did, & even let me use his song for the intro & outro.  If you like good music, philosophy, art, & awesome people, you should definitely give The Kaleidoscope Kid a follow & DEFINITELY check him out live if you EVER have the chance.  As always, thank you for taking the time to listen.

Send us Fan Mail In this episode of Rekallabrate: The Podcast, I sits down with my grief mentor & teacher Shaelyn for a grounded, honest conversation about grief. Through her teachings & her offering of “Elemental Grief”—a seven week grief journey informed by the earth’s elements—Shaelyn has utterly transformed my relationship with my grief.  I was so excited to record this episode with her & it instantly became one of my favorites.  I am confident that you, too, will feel a shift after listening to this episode. We talk about what grief actually looks like, how it lives in the body, & why pretending we’re “fine” helps no one. Shaelyn shares her experience losing both parents at a young age & how that shaped her relationship with grief—not as something to get over, but something to tend.  We talk about grief as a communal experience, the importance of death planning (yes, really), & the role storytelling plays in keeping us connected—to each other & to those we’ve lost. This isn’t a polished, performative grief episode. It’s real talk about death, presence, ancestral wisdom, & what it means to live fully while knowing loss is part of the deal. Grief isn’t the opposite of life—it’s woven into it. If you’ve ever felt isolated in your grief, uncomfortable talking about death, or unsure how to hold loss without trying to fix it, this episode is for you. Be sure to give Shaelyn a follow on the ‘gram so you can stay up to date with her offerings, including the reemergence & restructuring of Grief Temple.  As always, thank you for taking the time to listen. I appreciate the follows, shares, likes, & subscriptions! But most of all, I love to hear how each episode impacts you, your thinking, & your life. ❤️‍🔥 🔻 CONNECT WITH US SHAELYN: Instagram: @shayshaybuttababy KALLA: Instagram: @rekallabrate Youtube: @rekallabrate Website: rekallabrate.com

Send us Fan Mail In this episode, I cry. This one’s all about my dad, our difficult relationship, his death, & the grief I walk with now. I tell the story of my relationship with my dad—which was extremely difficult & ugly at times—& how we eventually found our way to forgiveness. I talk about the fights we had even after I “forgave” him, the slow way we rebuilt, & what healing actually looked like for us. I get into how ayahuasca helped me see him differently, love him differently, & what I did when I came home from that ceremony. I get into the timeline of events, his last few months, & our last moments together. I’ll tell you where I was when he died & how I handled the news. & then I get into how everything has unfolded, shifted, & changed since his death.  I walk with grief now in a way that I didn’t up until my dad’s passing. It is ever present, yet changing. I get into that, too.  Basically, if you’ve ever wanted to know what it’s like to forgive a parent & then lose them, this episode is for you.  It is my hope that everyone listening feels inspired to forgive a parent, call a parent, anticipate death & grief, or at least feel not so alone in their grief.  I believe that through the power of vulnerable & authentic storytelling, we can change the world. To let ourselves be moved by another’s story is one of the easiest ways to change the world.  Thank you for seeing me, honoring my grief, loving me through it. I am so grateful to have this community of people who love me & care about my journey—the good, the bad, the grievey. 🔻 CONNECT WITH ME Instagram: @rekallabrate Website: rekallabrate.com (merch, herbal products, & more on the way!)

Send us Fan Mail Welcome back to rekallabarte: the podcast! I'm so very grateful that you're here. In this episode, I sit down with Natalija—a clinical herbalist with 20+ years of experience, a wise woman, & a dear friend. Her story starts exactly where so many people’s plant journeys begin: desperation. When her daughter had a severe asthma attack, she realized the medical system had limits—& that’s when herbalism cracked open a whole new world. Not instead of medicine, but alongside it. Integrative medicine. Both/and. The way it actually should be. We get into everything from anatomy & physiology (yes, herbalists actually know this stuff) to why social media has become a hotbed of herbal misinformation. We talk symptoms as the body’s messaging system, the importance of food as foundational medicine, & why stress management, breathwork, & mindfulness matter more than the latest “miracle herb” trending online. Natalija reminds us that herbalism isn’t about chasing magic fixes. It’s education, connection, kitchen remedies, tasting your plants, understanding your land, & respecting the earth so we actually still have wild plants in 20 years.  She breaks down how healing is slow, consistent rewiring—not an aesthetic. Not a performance. We also dive into the uncomfortable-but-necessary topics: inherited patterns from our parents, the emotional side of healing, & how personal growth requires telling yourself the truth over & over again.  This episode is grounding, clarifying, & a much-needed antidote to fear-based, algorithm-driven wellness culture. If you've been curious about herbalism, overwhelmed by wellness trends, or craving a simpler, more human way to relate to your health—this conversation is for you. 🔻 CONNECT WITH US Natalija Marie Website: www.natalijamarie.com Instagram: @natalijamarie Offerings / Courses: https://www.natalijamarie.com/classes Kalla / Rekallabrate Website: rekallabrate.com Instagram: @rekallabrate Podcast: Rekallabrate: The Podcast on all platforms Thank you for listening & for being here.

Send us Fan Mail In this episode, I sit down with Jana Kearney—entrepreneur, marketing expert, pole-dancing biohacker, survivor, & someone who has rebuilt her entire life piece by piece. Jana didn’t grow up in an easy environment. She started using drugs young, spent years caught in addiction, & lived through things most people never talk about. And then her brother died by suicide — a loss that forced her to rethink everything she thought she knew about pain, coping, & what actually matters. Instead of letting grief drag her under, Jana slowly rebuilt her life. She got into health, biohacking, discipline, entrepreneurship, & finding a sense of purpose again. Pole dancing became part of her healing — a way to reconnect to her body, feel grounded, & move the grief that words couldn’t touch. We talk about the realities of addiction, the long road of recovery, the physical side of grief, how movement helps you process what the mind can’t, & why community is one of the only things that gets people through the darkest moments. Jana is honest, self-aware, & doesn’t pretend any part of her story was easy — which is exactly why this conversation is so powerful. If you’re navigating grief, rebuilding your life, or trying to make sense of the hard things you’ve lived through, this episode will remind you you’re not alone — & that change is possible, even when it feels impossible. 🔻CONNECT WITH US Find Jana: Instagram: @janakearney Out Work 'Em Digital Instagram: @outworkem.digitial Website: https://outworkemdigital.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@outworkemdigital Link to RanaRise Skool Group (use this link to join & Kalla gets a cut!):  https://www.skool.com/rana-rise/about?ref=d2870662aea243c8a21e5370406d9e1e Find Me: Instagram: @rekallabrate  Website: rekallabrate.com Thanks for listening & showing up for the conversations that actually mean something.

Send us Fan Mail I sat down with my best friend Brenna for a conversation that reminded me why I go to her with half my life crises. She has this rare mix of plant knowledge, lived experience, & a “keep it simple, don’t overthink it” philosophy that makes herbalism feel doable for actual humans with actual kids & actual lives. Even after all these years of talking almost daily, I still learn something new every single time we talk. Brenna has this way of making herbalism feel accessible & human. She doesn’t gate-keep knowledge or promote professional certifications. Rather, she encourages me (us) to listen to our own inner herbalist & simply see what the plants have to say. She blends deep knowledge with a kind of simplicity that’s almost rebellious in a world obsessed with overcomplicating every wellness practice. We talk about her journey out of the allopathic mindset & into trusting her body, trusting the plants, & trusting the process. We dive into birth stories, ancestral wisdom, what it means to mother from instinct instead of fear, & how healing often looks like slowing down rather than doing more. She shares how she approaches plant medicine in her own home—especially with her kids—and why “keep it simple” is basically her entire philosophy. No theatrics, no aesthetic. Just practicality, intuition, & a sense of calm that I swear could lower your blood pressure through the speakers. If you’re curious about herbalism, motherhood, healing, or just want to listen to two friends talk about life in a way that might shift the way you see the world… this one’s for you. Takeaways Brenna's journey into herbalism began as a response to her own health challenges.The shift from allopathic medicine to herbalism emphasizes a holistic approach to healing.Trusting the body's natural healing process is crucial for personal health.Ancestral wisdom plays a significant role in understanding herbal medicine.Plant medicine is about building relationships with the plants and understanding their effects.Mind, body, and spirit are interconnected in the healing process.Discomfort can be a part of healing, and it's important to sit with it.Supporting children with plant medicine can foster a deeper understanding of health.The balance between control and trust is essential in motherhood and healing.Simplicity in wellness practices can lead to better health outcomes. ❤️‍🔥 CONNECT WITH US: ❤️‍🔥 ✨ Connect with Brenna: Website: www.pachanoiherbalarts.com Instagram: @earthling_bren Herbal Offerings: @pachanoiherbalarts 🖤 Connect with Me: Instagram: @rekallabrate Website: www.rekallabrate.com — merch, blogs, herbal offerings, & all things real & raw.

Send us Fan Mail You know those spiritual influencers who make you cringe a little? The ones selling “abundance” but low-key preying on your insecurities? Yeah… we’re talking about them. In this episode, I sit down with Shannon Huvaere to unpack the red & green flags of spiritual marketing—the subtle manipulation, the fake scarcity, the “buy now or you’ll never heal” energy, and the way some people use sensuality or mysticism to sell you something that probably won’t change your life (but will drain your wallet). We go deep on what to avoid when selling your soul’s work (or buying someone else’s), & what to do instead—like being transparent, grounded, upfront, & in integrity. Whether you’re a spiritual business owner or just someone who’s tired of being spiritually sold to, this conversation will help you spot the BS from a mile away. 🎁 Free Resource: Red & Green Flags in Spiritual Marketing: Download here ✨ Connect with Shannon: Website: www.thesistersvillage.com Instagram: @shineon.shannon Community: @sistarsrising — stay up to date on women’s circles & offerings for women in all stages of life: maidens, mothers, & crones. 🖤 Connect with Me: Instagram: @rekallabrate Website: www.rekallabrate.com — merch, blogs, herbal offerings, & all things real & raw.
