The conversation begins in Libby’s New Jersey yard, once a lawn and now a small food forest, and opens into something much larger: gardening as spiritual practice, relationship with place, food sovereignty, humility, seed saving, compost, worm bins, fertilizer tea, neighborhood connection, and the stubborn generosity of the earth.

From champagne raspberries to mugwort, mustard seeds, chard, potatoes, elderberries, and one truly foul-smelling barrel of fertilizer tea, this episode invites listeners to stop treating gardening as a performance and start receiving it as a conversation.

You do not need acres. You do not need perfection. You need a cup of dirt, a seed, and the willingness to begin.

In Episode 75 of Two Crones and a Microphone, we welcome back grief educator and spiritual teacher Charlotte Starfire for a deeply honest conversation about loss, healing, ritual, and transformation.

Charlotte shares the story behind her upcoming chakra-based grief deck, Grief and Grace Through the Chakras, and reflects on what it means to move through grief with support, community, and compassion instead of silence.

We discuss:
• grief as a natural part of life
• why modern culture struggles to talk about death
• healing through ritual and energy work
• support for parents grieving children
• the role of ancestors, community, and spiritual practice
• finding beauty and “glimmers” even in difficult times

This is a thoughtful, tender conversation for anyone navigating loss or supporting someone who is.

A small town never forgets.

In Podcast 66, Part One of our two-part conversation with author Ariel Sarullo, we explore her debut novel The Wild Rose Alliance—a quiet mystery about late coming-of-age, inherited stories, and the long shadow the past casts over the present.

This episode is about:

  • Small towns and buried truth
  • Becoming an adult later than expected
  • Writing a first novel
  • Why growing up isn’t a single event

If you’ve ever felt out of sync with the timeline you were handed, this conversation will feel familiar.

We also wanted to make sure that our podcast listeners could enjoy our Wisdom Wednesday posts a few more times than usual!

Join Linda Shreve as she walks us through the recipe, the ritual, and the reminder that healing isn’t only in the herbs — it’s also in the care, the intention, and the love we bring. Perfect for these turning seasons and the challenges they carry.

Fire Cider Recipe

from Two Crones and a Microphone with Linda Shreve

Ingredients (for a half-gallon jar):

  • 1–2 medium onions, chopped (optional if allergic)
  • 20 garlic cloves, peeled and chopped
  • 1–2 hot peppers (jalapeño or similar), chopped
  • 1/2 cup fresh garden peppers
  • 1 large piece fresh ginger root, chopped or grated
  • ½ cup prepared horseradish (or fresh root if available)
  • A handful of fresh rosemary sprigs
  • A handful of fresh marjoram sprigs
  • 2–3 cinnamon sticks
  • ¼–½ cup dried rose hips
  • A handful of fresh lemon balm (optional)
  • Raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar (enough to cover all ingredients by 1–3 inches)
  • Honey, to taste (added after straining)

Instructions:

  1. Place all chopped vegetables, herbs, and spices in a clean half-gallon jar.
  2. Pour apple cider vinegar over ingredients until completely submerged, leaving about 1 inch of headspace.
  3. Cap tightly and shake the jar to combine.
  4. Store in a cool, dark place for 3–4 weeks. Shake once daily.
  5. After 3–4 weeks, strain out the solids and keep the liquid.
  6. Stir in honey to taste. The finished fire cider should be tangy, spicy, and slightly sweet.
  7. Label your jar with the date and ingredients used.

How to Use:

  • Take 1 teaspoon to 1 tablespoon daily as a tonic.
  • Mix into water if desired.
  • If you feel a cold or flu coming on, take a dose every few hours.

Air is not a metaphor. It’s the medium. In this kickoff to our Wild Woman season, we get practical about breath, voice, and time in nature—how they shift stress, clarity, and courage. We also talk anthem-as-activism (Casablanca), hummingbirds as teachers, and why humming or chanting counts as a real practice.

What you’ll hear:

  • “Inhale prayer, exhale intention”: a simple daily ritual you can actually keep
  • Joy as resistance: glimmers, birdsong, and staying human in a chaotic world
  • Forest bathing without the incense: what the research says about cortisol, blood pressure, mood
  • Finding the wild woman you tucked away—and letting her sing

We’re stepping into Season Four—beginning our fourth year of conversations, laughter, and deep dives into the mysteries of living well in this wild, beautiful world. And on Friday, September 5, we’ll mark our fourth anniversary of podcasting together. Three years behind us, a brand-new year ahead—that’s a lot of tea, a lot of storytelling, and a lot of wisdom shared.

We’ve been tending our own gardens—literal and metaphorical. Some seasons have been about grounding and centering. Others have carried us into the winds of change, the depths of water, the sparks of fire, and the steady strength of earth. And through it all, we’ve stayed curious, asking: How do we live with purpose, connection, and joy?

This year, we’re exploring the physical world through a spiritual lens. What does it mean to touch the sacred in our everyday surroundings? We’ll wander into forests and kitchens, gardens and workshops. We’ll talk about the things we can feel in our bones—stones, seashells, sunlight, wind—and the way those physical encounters can open the door to spiritual insight.

In the past, we’ve sung with Hildegard of Bingen, learned from sacred gardeners, taken ceremonial baths, sat with grief and joy, and shared stories from our own journeys. We’ve brought in guests who carry ancestral knowledge, deep creative practices, and a willingness to be real about the hard stuff. Every episode has been an invitation: Come as you are. Bring your questions. Let’s wonder together.

So as we begin this new season, we invite you to listen with your hands, your eyes, your heart—notice what’s around you. The world is offering its wisdom every day, and we’re here to explore it together.

Pour yourself a cup. Tune in. Get grounded. Season Four of Two Crones and a Microphone begins soon!

Episode 29: “Love in Action – Loving Yourself” (Mirror Meditation)
Sally’s Summer Favorite

What does self-love look like when you’ve actually lived some life? This week on Two Crones and a Microphone, Sally brings us her top summer pick: a frank, wide-ranging talk about loving yourself without apology, and what happens when you stare down your own reflection—literally.

Betty, Linda, and Sally dive into the practical magic (and occasional discomfort) of Mirror Meditation, aging in a world obsessed with youth, and why wisdom over 50 isn’t just “nice to have”—it’s a superpower. If you’re tired of self-help that sounds like a greeting card, join us. We’re done with platitudes; we’re here for the messy, real stuff: self-acceptance, personal history, and the long game of learning to be kind to yourself.

Come for the insights, stay for the honesty, and bring a mirror. This one’s for anyone ready to meet themselves, eye to eye.



If the podcast has grounded you, we’d love your support.

We’re done with platitudes; we’re here for the messy, real stuff: self-acceptance, personal history, and the long game of learning to be kind to yourself.

Come for the insights, stay for the honesty, and bring a mirror. This one’s for anyone ready to meet themselves, eye to eye.

In this soulful and thought-provoking conversation, Mahala Frye shares her decades of experience working with devas, nature spirits, and sacred land. From her early connection with mountains to her training in Peruvian shamanism and the Perelandra co-creation model, Mahala invites us to imagine a world where energetic healing begins with relationship.

We talk about forest bathing, land clearing, daily grounding rituals, and how to reawaken our intuition in collaboration with the more-than-human world. Whether you’re a seasoned earth-based practitioner or just beginning to explore spiritual ecology, this conversation will inspire you to deepen your relationship with the living Earth.

Tune in to hear:

  • What devas and nature spirits are (and how to work with them)
  • How energetic land clearing works—at home and across continents
  • Why spiritual practice starts with listening
  • And how walking barefoot might be your best medicine yet

Walk in beauty. All is made beautiful.

Mahala currently offers her healing arts through The Awakening Heart, a shamanic practice based on the Kitsap Peninsula. You can learn more about her work by visiting her website: The Awakening Heart


More on Perelandra

Mahala's Biography:

Mahala has spent most of her life in the Pacific Northwest where she has developed a deep love of the water, mountains, and trees. She acknowledges that they have guided and augmented her healing path. She said some of her most favorite times were the years of creating beautiful art jewelry and marketing them at different galleries, fairs, and festivals. She is also skilled at installing flooring and started a “woman owned” business providing custom nosing for stairs made from different hardwoods. 

Mahala has spent many years studying healing modalities and exploring her own natural talents “gifts.”  She has a strong foundation of skills and supports in the natural world that support her work. She has developed her own method of healing that incorporates many traditions including Peruvian Shamanistic traditions, Native American traditions and the Perelandra work of Michelle Smallright

Really, Mahala’s said that her heart has been called to the work of healing the Mother Earth on an energetic level, believing that the energetic and the physical are inextricably linked and you cannot change one without affecting the other. She is guided by the nature spirits and devas and co-creates her healing work with the unseen realms, pushing the boundaries of what is possible

Gudrun shares her insights on sustainable herbalism, Reiki-infused plant care, and the slow, intentional growth of her business—from farmers markets to Main Street.

We talk about:
 – How childhood memories can plant lifelong passions
 – The healing power of calendula (and a really good teacup)
 – Building a life and a business aligned with nature
 – Why hands-on workshops are more needed than ever

As cultural midwives, we aim to share wisdom through storytelling and research, and this episode is no exception. 

Our discussion begins with a powerful listener feedback from a previous episode, highlighting the myriad ways fire can evoke memories and emotions. This sets the stage for a deeper exploration of fire as a change agent, particularly in the context of the devastating wildfires that have become a regular occurrence in regions like California.

We invite our dear friend Diane, an author and horsewoman from Northern California, to share her experiences with fire and its impact on animals. Diane's insights into the emotional toll on both pets and wildlife during fire season are profound. She emphasizes the importance of preparation and the need to think ahead, especially when it comes to our beloved four-legged companions. 

Throughout the episode, we discuss practical tools and strategies for coping with the aftereffects of trauma, grief, and shock. We touch on the significance of being calm in chaotic situations, as animals often mirror our emotional states. This connection reinforces the idea that our own grounding and centering can help not only ourselves but also the animals in our care.

The conversation also highlights the reciprocal relationship between humans and animals during crises. As we share stories of resilience and survival, we recognize the importance of community support and the need to be there for one another – both human and animal alike.

Listeners are encouraged to think about their own preparedness plans, including creating go bags for their pets, and to consider the emotional needs of their animals during stressful times. The episode serves as a reminder of the interconnectedness of all beings and the healing power of shared experiences.

Join us as we navigate the complexities of fire, trauma, and healing, and discover how we can better support ourselves and our animal companions in the face of change.

Hosted by Linda, Betty, and Sally, our conversation takes us on a journey through the cultural, spiritual, and emotional significance of fire in our lives. 

Fire is not just a physical phenomenon; it is an ancient symbol of transformation and renewal. As we navigate through the chaos of modern life, the energy of fire becomes increasingly relevant. From the devastating wildfires in California to the seasonal celebrations honoring fire, we explore how this elemental force resonates with our human experience. 

One of the key themes in our discussion is the concept of feminine fire. This idea encapsulates the notion of inspiration, creativity, and the spark of life that resides within each of us. We reflect on personal experiences, including the challenges of menopause, which can feel like a fiery transformation in itself. These moments of change can lead to profound personal growth, as they encourage us to connect with our inner flames and embrace our true selves.

We also dive into the historical significance of fire, tracing its role throughout human evolution. From providing warmth and protection to enabling the creation of advanced tools, fire has been integral to our survival and development as a species. It is a source of light in the darkness, a catalyst for change, and a reminder of the sacredness of life itself.

As we engage with the spirit of fire, we encourage our listeners to explore their own relationships with this powerful element. Whether through candle gazing or simply reflecting on where the spirit of fire resides within you, there are many ways to connect with its energy. 

In this episode, we invite you to consider how fire can serve as a healer in your own life. By acknowledging the transformative power of fire, we can learn to embrace change, release what no longer serves us, and ignite our passions. 

So, gather around the metaphorical fire with us, and let’s explore the warmth, wisdom, and healing that fire brings. Tune in to our latest episode and discover how you can harness the power of fire for your own journey of transformation.

In the latest episode of our podcast, we delve into the often overwhelming world of anxiety and explore various remedies that can help you regain control. This is part two of our discussion on anxiety, building on the insights shared in our previous episode. Anxiety can feel like an unwelcome passenger in the bus of our lives, but we can take the wheel back by implementing practical strategies.

Throughout our conversation, we emphasize the importance of grounding techniques. Grounding helps to center ourselves and can be as simple as planting your feet firmly on the ground and visualizing luminous roots extending deep into the earth. This practice, along with others like tapping and meditation, can serve as powerful tools when anxiety arises.

We also discuss the benefits of exercise, which plays a crucial role in elevating our mood. Physical activity releases endorphins—our body’s natural feel-good hormones. Whether it’s a brisk walk with your dog or a fun dance session in your living room, moving your body is a fantastic way to combat anxiety. We share personal anecdotes about how activities like swimming and dancing have helped us find joy and release tension.

Moreover, we touch on the therapeutic effects of music and singing. Engaging with music, whether it’s through listening or creating, can shift our energy and elevate our spirits. Singing has the added benefit of supporting our breath, which is vital in managing anxiety.

Additionally, we explore the importance of seeking support from friends, family, or even pets. Sometimes, just talking about your feelings can help alleviate the weight of anxiety. The companionship of pets, with their unconditional love, can also be incredibly soothing.

As we wrap up, we encourage listeners to choose one or two practices that resonate with them and integrate them into their daily lives. The journey to managing anxiety is personal, and finding what works for you is essential. We invite you to join us in this exploration of practical spirituality, and we look forward to sharing more insights in our future episodes. Together, we can navigate the muddy waters of anxiety and emerge stronger on the other side.

In this episode of our podcast, we dive deep into the topic of anxiety and its remedies, offering listeners a wealth of practical strategies to navigate these turbulent waters. As cultural midwives, we believe in the power of applied practical spirituality to foster change and healing in our lives.

Anxiety often manifests as a messenger, alerting us to underlying issues that need addressing. In our discussion, we emphasize the importance of recognizing anxiety as a signal rather than a foe. Both Linda and Betty share personal anecdotes about their experiences with anxiety, highlighting how they have learned to listen to their bodies and identify their triggers. By understanding the physical sensations associated with anxiety—like tense shoulders or erratic thoughts—we can intervene before it escalates into a full-blown attack.

We explore various remedies, starting with the healing power of herbs and essential oils. Lemon balm, chamomile, and ashwagandha are just a few of the natural remedies we discuss. Each herb has its unique properties, and we encourage listeners to find what works best for their individual needs. Additionally, we delve into the art of self-care, emphasizing the importance of practices such as self-massage and breathwork. Techniques like soft belly breathing and the 4-7-8 method can help calm the nervous system and promote relaxation.

Grounding techniques also play a crucial role in managing anxiety. From walking meditations to connecting with the earth through physical movement, we share how these practices can help center and stabilize us in moments of distress. Our conversation highlights the significance of being present in our bodies, as this connection can help alleviate feelings of anxiety and overwhelm.

As we wrap up the episode, we invite our listeners to take actionable steps towards managing their anxiety. Whether it's incorporating herbal teas into their daily routine or practicing self-massage before bed, small changes can lead to significant improvements in emotional well-being. We also remind everyone that seeking professional help is essential when dealing with severe anxiety, and there are many resources available, including therapists and online support.

Join us in this enlightening episode as we share our wisdom practices and encourage you to embrace a more peaceful, grounded existence. Together, we can navigate the complexities of anxiety and emerge stronger, more resilient, and connected to ourselves and our world.

We explore various remedies, starting with the healing power of herbs and essential oils. Lemon balm, chamomile, and ashwagandha are just a few of the natural remedies we discuss. Each herb has its unique properties, and we encourage listeners to find what works best for their individual needs. Additionally, we delve into the art of self-care, emphasizing the importance of practices such as self-massage and breathwork. Techniques like soft belly breathing and the 4-7-8 method can help calm the nervous system and promote relaxation.

Grounding techniques also play a crucial role in managing anxiety. From walking meditations to connecting with the earth through physical movement, we share how these practices can help center and stabilize us in moments of distress. Our conversation highlights the significance of being present in our bodies, as this connection can help alleviate feelings of anxiety and overwhelm.

As we wrap up the episode, we invite our listeners to take actionable steps towards managing their anxiety. Whether it's incorporating herbal teas into their daily routine or practicing self-massage before bed, small changes can lead to significant improvements in emotional well-being. We also remind everyone that seeking professional help is essential when dealing with severe anxiety, and there are many resources available, including therapists and online support.

Join us in this enlightening episode as we share our wisdom practices and encourage you to embrace a more peaceful, grounded existence. Together, we can navigate the complexities of anxiety and emerge stronger, more resilient, and connected to ourselves and our world.

Lupo joined us to share the profound impact of Hurricane Helene on the Asheville, North Carolina community and the surrounding areas. This natural disaster, described as a geological event due to its unprecedented scale, has left a trail of devastation affecting millions of lives.

Lupo painted a vivid picture of the destruction, describing how the French Broad River, one of the oldest rivers in the world, flooded at a height surpassing 27 feet above the floodplain. The sheer force of the water was likened to the velocity of Niagara Falls, wiping entire areas off the map. Homes, businesses, and even the cherished River Arts District, a vibrant hub for artists, were obliterated. As Lupo recounted, "The amount of destruction is truly insurmountable."

Despite the overwhelming challenges, the spirit of community and the power of herbalism have been pillars of resilience and hope. Lupo emphasized the importance of mutual aid efforts, such as the Appalachian Herb Collective, which has been instrumental in providing herbal remedies and support to those affected. The collective's initiatives have been a testament to the strength and compassion of the community, with neighbors helping neighbors and strangers offering aid.

For those looking to support the recovery efforts, Lupo highlighted several ways to contribute. Donations to the TwinStar rebuild campaign and the Appalachian Herb Collective are crucial in helping restore essential services and facilities. Additionally, engaging with TwinStar's online herbalism courses not only supports their mission but also empowers individuals with the knowledge of herbal medicine—a vital skill in times of crisis.

As Lupo eloquently stated, "Out of destruction and out of great tragedy also comes the reflection of great love and great beauty." This episode is a call to action, inviting listeners to be part of the healing process and to witness the profound impact of collective empathy and support.

Join us in this enlightening conversation to learn more about the power of herbalism, the resilience of the Asheville community, and how you can make a difference. Listen to the full episode now and be inspired by the incredible work being done to rebuild and rejuvenate a community in need.

In our fast-paced, technologically-driven world, it's easy to lose touch with the age-old wisdom that resides within us. This wisdom, passed down through generations, is the focus of the latest episode of "Two Crones and a Microphone." Hosted by the insightful trio of Linda, Betty, and Sally, this podcast delves into the art of ancestral communication and spiritual practices, offering listeners a unique opportunity to reconnect with their roots.

The episode opens with a profound discussion on the omnipresence of ancestors in our lives. Often, we overlook the subtle signs and messages they send us, dismissing them as mere coincidences. However, as Betty shares, it's vital to establish a relationship with our ancestors, opening channels of communication to access their guidance. She credits Oh' Shinnah  for teaching her how to recognize and interpret these signs, a skill that has enriched her spiritual journey.

Linda and Sally bring a refreshing perspective to the conversation, emphasizing the empowerment that comes with choosing which ancestral voices to listen to. They remind us that while the presence of ancestors might intensify during certain times, like Halloween, they are always around, ready to offer their wisdom. The episode encourages listeners to embrace this connection, whether through meditation, prayer, or simply taking a moment to listen to their inner voice.

The podcast also explores the idea of ancestors not just being family members but also the spirits of the land we inhabit. Sally shares her experiences in Hawaii, where she felt the presence of the land's ancestors, broadening the concept of ancestral wisdom beyond familial ties. This insight invites listeners to consider the rich tapestry of influences that shape their lives, urging them to honor the land and its history.

For those seeking practical ways to connect with their ancestors, the episode offers valuable tips. Building an ancestral altar, as Betty suggests, can be a powerful way to honor and invite the presence of those who came before us. Whether it's through displaying family photos or incorporating sacred objects, creating a dedicated space for ancestors can facilitate communication and provide comfort.

As the episode draws to a close, the hosts reflect on the importance of listening in a world dominated by screens and distractions. They challenge listeners to step away from their devices and tune into the whispers of their ancestors, finding joy and guidance in the process.

"Two Crones and a Microphone" is more than just a podcast; it's a call to reconnect with the wisdom that resides within us all. By embracing ancestral communication, we can navigate the complexities of modern life with a deeper understanding and appreciation for our roots. Tune in to this enlightening episode and embark on a journey of spiritual discovery and empowerment.

Episode 39 Interview with Delinda (Dove) Hibbert: "Jackette of many Trades." In our latest podcast episode, we had the incredible opportunity to sit down with Delinda Hibbert, affectionately known as Dove or Dovey. A retired hypnotherapist and current board member, Dove is truly a "jacket of many trades," having worn numerous hats throughout her life, from conference coordinator to fiber artist. This episode is a deep dive into her spiritual journey and the wisdom she's gathered along the way.

Dove's story is a testament to the power of following your instincts and being open to the unknown. She recalls a pivotal moment in Wichita, Kansas, where a flyer for a workshop led by Oh' Shinnah Fast Wolf caught her eye. Despite knowing nothing about the topic or the speaker, Dove felt an irresistible pull to attend. This decision marked the beginning of a transformative journey filled with spiritual growth and self-discovery.

One of the most captivating parts of the episode is Dove's experience with Fabien Maman, a premier sound and color healing expert. During an advanced training in southern France, Dove participated in an exercise to find her unique note. Initially terrified, she stood before a piano and, under Fabian's guidance, began to sing. The moment she hit her note, it felt like "a thousand crystal bells went gently off" in her head, a profound and shattering experience that left her and her classmates in awe.

Dove's journey is not just about personal transformation but also about sharing her learnings with others. Whether teaching morning and evening prayers or guiding people through meditation, she emphasizes the importance of integrating spiritual practices into everyday life. These practices, she believes, can bring magic back into our lives, helping us see the world with fresh eyes and a renewed sense of wonder.

The episode also highlights the importance of paying attention to the signs and messages in our everyday lives. Dove, Sally and Betty, discuss how seemingly simple experiences can carry profound meanings if we are open to receiving them. Whether it's a flyer that catches your eye or a stick that falls into your lap, these moments can guide us toward our true path.

As the episode concludes, Dove, Sally and Betty encourage listeners to sit quietly and wait for messages to come, whether from nature, a song, or an unexpected encounter. They remind us that each of us holds a unique note in the universe, a note that no one else can replace. Discovering this note may take a lifetime, but it's a journey worth undertaking.

If you're looking for inspiration and practical wisdom to help you navigate your spiritual path, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in to hear Dove's incredible stories and insights, and perhaps, find a bit of magic in your own life.

]]> Betty deMaye-Caruth & Linda Shreve Buzzsprout-13130297 Thu, 29 Jun 2023 03:00:00 -0400 1951 2 22 full false Podcast 21: Listening to Your Body & Intuition Podcast 21: Listening to Your Body & Intuition Intuitive awareness – the little voice inside that has a quiet presence.  Takes practice and meditation, sitting quietly, prayer or Deep listening. Movement based meditation also works.  Another way is to listen to the Earth around you.

People talk to the Divine all the time – ties back to our own innate divinity. We are part of the divine and the divine is part of us.

"In times of confusion and ambiguity, it’s helpful to remember that there is a numinous power that emerges from a coherent, divine source, and it knows which way to go. We can call this the “power from below,” because it is elemental, and quite physical. It is that organizing intelligence that animates all life. It is the pattern-maker that stitches together our dreams, manifests in synchronicity, and arises in our longing or desire in the body. And if we can learn to follow and embody that power, it will lead the way out of the patriarchy.

This “power from below” is Sophia, an ancient Greek word which loosely translates into wisdom. You can find it in the root of the word philosophy, which is the “love of wisdom,” but perhaps more accurately described as Knowing. Sophia is the inner knowing that gets clearer and stronger as we dismantle the old power structures, but she is also the outer knowing that appears in the waking dream, in synchronicity and symbolic events in our lives."

This occurs during one of our most involved and committed phases of life when many of us have careers, families, community involvement, and other passions we need and want to focus on.  Most of us will have at least some shifts in physical, emotional, and possibly spiritual baselines and norms we have relied on for many years.  

The lead-up to menopause is sometimes surprising to many of us – we do not have training or stories to rely on and inform us in our peri-menopausal and menopausal journey.  We offer some ideas, stories and suggestions in this podcast.  The best thing you can do is be kind to yourself as you move through this change. You are not alone and many new programs, apps and resources are available to help us track and understand our own menopause journey.  Ultimately menopause may offer surprising freedom and changes in focus worth celebrating.  Keep in mind, when women gather together and support each other, amazing things occur.

This marks the end of a woman's ability to conceive. In general, most women will have around 500 menstrual cycles in their lifetime, unless they are/have been pregnant, had surgery or have had a sickness that has impacted their menstrual cycles. Menopause is when a woman hasn't had a period for an entire year. The time just before menopause can be quite unexpected, as women don't have many experiences to help them navigate it. This podcast provides some helpful advice, stories, and ideas to make the process a little less daunting.

Chat about that. Open windows, etc. If you wish, you may end the purification with a short statement, such as: “Bright and strong flows the energy through my home. This room is purified.” 

Reminder of other ways to clear your space - Smudge and Spritzers too! Betty your favorites – at night Frankincense – Day is Sage or Sweet Grass spritzer.  One sentence on what a spritzer is…..

Nettle tea – tonic herb for Spring allergies – slightly astringent properties, deeply nourishing filled with many beneficial minerals and green goodness. 

Seasonal changes – spring cleaning/clearing – gifting and the give away – instead of throwing things away – consider the giveaway/  Native traditions.  

Meaningful gifts – why is symbolism is important to us?  Snake and the symbolism of change and transformation.  Symbolism is important to both of us – mine is my personal altar – Betty and the Burden Basket – Betty and her clients – personal ritual for Betty and she incorporates it into her healing practice – and her clients can participate in this ritual. 

When I teach I build an healing altar which becomes a focal point filled with symbolic objects for the subject of the class . for example I recently taught a class on Aphrodite, goddess of love and fertility who governs the waters of life – on her altar I have a lovely large Conch shell which was my grandmothers; I have a Scallop shell, and a lovely crystal cluster, a beautiful vase in the Grecian style with a woman in a flowing gown and an anointing oil.

We are cultural midwives and a force for change using applied practical spirituality. We have been friends and colleagues for over 35 years.  We will ­talk about wisdom practices we use in daily life.

Linda - Podcast overview  – This is our 14th podcast and the topic is Sharing our daily life rituals with you. We will speak about why it is important, how to share with our families and friends and how to help calm that racka-racka roo (monkey mind) when it arises.  

Betty - We will share practices and processes you can use in daily life at home, work and play.  Pull up a chair, grab a cup of tea, a pen and paper and let’s get started.  Settle into your body, listen and see what you can use in your life. 

Quote about Rituals – from my teaching 

Ritual– the word ritual comes from the Latin “ritus” and the Greek “rheo”, and means to flow, run, rush or stream.  A ritual is a ceremony that puts us back in touch with the stream or flow of life’s energies.   – we want to share as a model what works for each of us – and now you can develop your own practices. 

Linda – What are our Rituals – If you have a daily ritual (all or part) it helps set the flow of the day. Sets the tone for the day. Helps us with our response to the day – can help us carry through all the day brings us.  Allows us to center and ground.  This is an extension of the grounding practices we have offered in our first podcast, which you can then curate for your own life. Maybe you are not so much a meditator, for example, but enjoy movement so use what works for you as a ritual. Stretching, yoga, tai chi, walk in nature.  

Betty - Better, more focused, aligned, alert and RELAXED. “relaxed alert” is a phrase used in many practices, when we are centered, relaxed and grounded our responses are more within our control.

We will speak about why it is important to each of us, how to share with our families and friends and how to help calm that racka-racka roo when it arises.  
Podcast 13 - MEDICAL DISCLAIMER : As a Nurse  - Anxiety is a Medical Diagnosis so we want to give a medical disclaimer.  Keep in mind this is educational and not intended to replace medical treatment. 
RECAP Part 1 (Episode 11)  – We covered anxiety and some of its indicators – (body, emotion mind/spirit) – we discussed having a conversation with our anxiety when it arises – keep in mind we want to be the one driving the bus (in our life) - and while anxiety may be a passenger on the bus, it should not be the driver.  Or nervous system is our bridge to our environment and is the seat of our relationship with the world and includes our inner life including our consciousness. The mind-body-spirit connections are real and are governed in large part by our nervous system.    

We decided there is so much to be said about Anxiety and its remedies we needed a PART 2 

Here are some other things which can help reduce anxiety:

  1. ·      Exercise raises our endorphin levels 
  2. ·      Weight bearing exercise – 1-2 lb weights - use soup cans if needed to lift and strengthen muscles in arms.
  3. ·      Also resistance and stretch bands can be safe ways to build flexibility and strength. I think its more fun!  And I like the colors.  
  4. ·      Swimming: Body is stretched, muscles and joints stretched, hips, legs and arms are lubricating our joints – lower-weight bearing 
  5. Dancing – shaking – SHAKE IT UP – from chair or standing!  Put on YOUR Favorite Music and move -  rotate your hips in a circle or figure 8 – be like a tree and wave your arms like branches – be bird like.  If have have a favorite – like the cha cha (?) then do that!  Have fun with it – smile and move.

]]> Linda - Podcast overview  – This is our 13th podcast and the topic is PART 2 of Anxiety and its Remedies. We will speak about why it is important to each of us, how to share with our families and friends and how to help calm that racka-racka roo when it arises.  
Podcast 13 - MEDICAL DISCLAIMER : As a Nurse  - Anxiety is a Medical Diagnosis so we want to give a medical disclaimer.  Keep in mind this is educational and not intended to replace medical treatment. 
RECAP Part 1 (Episode 11)  – We covered anxiety and some of its indicators – (body, emotion mind/spirit) – we discussed having a conversation with our anxiety when it arises – keep in mind we want to be the one driving the bus (in our life) - and while anxiety may be a passenger on the bus, it should not be the driver.  Or nervous system is our bridge to our environment and is the seat of our relationship with the world and includes our inner life including our consciousness. The mind-body-spirit connections are real and are governed in large part by our nervous system.

As a society we teach woman to give their all – homemaker, teacher, lover, friend, nurse, caregiver  – but to be clear, these roles can also be true for any of us.  

Let’s start something different and look at how we learn to nourish and love ourselves?  As we are told, just like in a airplane with an oxygen mask we must put ours on first and then take care of others.  We need to fill our own cup.  

Linda  - Betty have you heard about the Five Love Languages.?  Betty – NO but it sounds really interesting. 

{FIVE LOVE LANGUAGES: What are the Five Love languages: I was just reading a new York Times article that cites this and I thought our listeners would be really interested in hearing about this.  These are outlined by Gary Chapman in a 1995 book, "The Five Love Languages: How to Express Heartfelt Commitment to Your Mate."  

What Is my Love Language? 

  1. Words of affirmation. These people light up when they hear words of affirmation, encouragement and appreciation. They want to hear regularly that they matter to you. 
  2. Quality time. The gift of your time and undivided attention are what make this person feel cared for. Choosing to spend time connecting means more than you ever can say or do to this person.
  3. Receiving gifts. Those who fall within the “Meaningful Gifts” group thrive on the thoughtfulness and effort behind giving gifts and they view the gifts as tangible proof of your connection and care. Gifts are love made visible to this type of person.
  4. Acts of service. Actions Speak Louder Than Words; swoop in and help. 
  5. Physical touch. Feels loved and supported through physical contact with others, It creates a powerful sense of trust with others.  Dancing for example.

We are cultural midwives and a force for change using applied practical spirituality. We have been friends and colleagues for over 35 years.  We will talk about wisdom practices we use in daily life.

Podcast overview  – This is our 10th podcast and the topic is Creating Intentional Downtime and is a follow-up from How we Reset, podcast No. 9. We will speak about why it is important to each of us, how to share with our families and friends and how to establish a practice for the New Year or at any time you need to rest or recuperate.  

Betty - We will share practices and processes you can use in daily life at home, work and play.  Pull up a chair, grab a cup of tea, a pen and paper and let’s get started.  Settle into your body, listen and see what you can use in your life. 

WHY INTENTIONAL DOWNTIME? 

Linda - We are cyclical beings, with a built-in need to rest. We all know that the cycles of night and day, of rest and sleep are important for our health and wellbeing. Our bodies are hard-wired to need sleep, for example. We tend to focus in our culture on the cycle of exertion – and push away the need to recuperate.  One way to be sure we get time to recuperate, rest, reflect and have fun/play, is to Create Intentional Downtime for yourself and others. 
I like the structure of a commitment to downtime – but I often blow through my own plan for it!  It is a practice, like any other.  In some ways this is an anti-goal – to commit to the moment, to play, to nature, to art, to awareness. I like to keep a playful attitude about it and look for micro-moments to recuperate.  

SOMETIMES a deadline helps us discover a recuperative practice,  For me about 7 years ago, I had a knee injury – and realized that I absolutely needed at least 30 minutes of recuperative time with my leg propped up each evening.  I have continued that to this day.

Betty – What does Intentional downtime mean? It is hard for me sometimes (Betty tell story) – there are lots of possibilities – The number one way to create downtime – take a minute or 2 to ground.  Listen to our first podcast on Grounding for ideas and practices.  Sometimes just that 1-2 minutes makes a world of difference!

including the Hopi, Pueblo peoples, Apache and Navaho. Her stories abound and she is known by many names including Spider Grandmother and Spider Woman. Sussitanako, Her native name translates as Thinking Woman or Thought Woman, and soon as she thought of a thing, it sprang into existence. She spun a Web from East to West, from North to South, then sang a song so very deep and sweet that all beings spring into existence with Her song. In Sanskrit there is a concept about the “Root Sound” of each object, which when sung properly can make that thing spring into being.

We all recognize that the Holidays are meant to be a time of reflection, celebration and joy, and of ceremonial foods, gathering together of family and friends and as a community to honor and share traditions and rituals, seasonal celebrations and spiritual practices. It helps us mark the cycles of the Year, and many memories are made, those who have crossed are remembered and stories old and new are told. For some the holidays are a time of sadness, increased depression, and isolation. 
For some of us who are in charge of making that Holiday happen, it increases our stress and responsibilities to create that PERFECT holiday. We aim to help you and ourselves by adding some practical tips but ALSO to help reframe and express what is really important to you, your family and community – pare back to what is really meaningful to you.

We all recognize that the Holidays are meant to be a time of reflection, celebration and joy, and of ceremonial foods, gathering together of family and friends and as a community to honor and share traditions and rituals, seasonal celebrations and spiritual practices. It helps us mark the cycles of the Year, and many memories are made, those who have crossed are remembered and stories old and new are told. For some the holidays are a time of sadness, increased depression, and isolation. 
For some of us who are in charge of making that Holiday happen, it increases our stress and responsibilities to create that PERFECT holiday. We aim to help you and ourselves by adding some practical tips but ALSO to help reframe and express what is really important to you, your family and community – pare back to what is really meaningful to you. There is so much to talk about we will cover this is 2 podcasts. Today’s podcast covers many pragmatic tips.  Our second podcast will take a deeper dive into how to make the Holiday meaningful for you and your loved ones.       

Tell us what you think! We love to hear from you!
