A Conversation Nobody's Having About Lindsay Clancy

Mon, 03 Aug 2026 00:00:00 -0400

Lindsay Clancy's trial is unfolding in a Massachusetts courtroom right now, and most of the public conversation is stuck on guilt or innocence. This episode goes underneath that question, into the conversation nobody's having: what happens when a woman's postpartum hormonal crisis gets treated as a psychiatric illness instead of a physical one, and what "she had support" actually means in a culture that dismantled real community care for mothers generations ago. With Saturn newly retrograde in Aries, we're being asked to look honestly at where women's authority over their own bodies has been handed to systems that were never built to understand them.

In this episode:

• Why this isn't an analysis of the trial, and why the story underneath it matters regardless of the verdict

• The physical, hormonal reality of postpartum that gets relabeled as mental illness

• The throughline from witch trials to hysteria diagnoses to modern overmedication

• What "she had support" gets wrong, and what real community care for new mothers used to look like

• How Saturn retrograde in Aries is asking us to audit where we've outsourced women's autonomy

• What moving forward, collectively, actually requires of each of us

You Are Not Broken: Reclaiming Your Body, Your Voice & the Sacred Feminine Wisdom Within

Mon, 06 Jul 2026 00:00:00 -0400

Many women are carrying exhaustion, grief, anger, and a feeling that they somehow need to heal, fix, or transform themselves into someone better.

But what if you are not broken?

In this episode of Triggers And Spiritual Medicine, I sit with Tatiana Berindei, a teacher of ancestral wisdom, body connection, and sacred feminine healing, to explore what happens when we stop fighting ourselves and begin listening to the wisdom already within us.

We talk about:

🔥 Sacred rage vs destructive anger

🔥 Why so many women are feeling depleted right now

🔥 The wisdom held in the body and womb

🔥 Reclaiming our voice, pleasure, intuition, and power

🔥 Moving from surviving into creating

🔥 How women can help birth a more connected world

This is a conversation about remembering.

Remembering that your body is not the enemy. Remembering that your emotions carry wisdom. Remembering that you were never broken.

The In-Between Space: Transitions, Discernment & Energy Update

Mon, 01 Jun 2026 00:00:00 -0400

This episode of "Triggers and Spiritual Medicine" featured Laura Bonetzky-Gaffney discussing the current collective transition and energy update for mid-year.

Laura Bonetzky-Gaffney addressed feelings of exhaustion, uncertainty, and nervous system fatigue many people are experiencing, describing a sense of being "suspended between old identities and emergence of new self." She emphasized that the discomfort of transition often feels messy rather than mystical due to attempts to control outcomes and lack of community support systems.

Laura Bonetzky-Gaffney shared insights about the importance of discernment, slowing down, and sitting with uncertainty rather than rushing to find answers. She outlined key themes for June and July, including endings, elder transitions, and the need for authentic community and genuine connection.

The episode concluded with practical tools for self-care and reflection questions to help listeners navigate the current transitional period.

Because You’re a Man, This Is Your Moment: Actionable Steps You Can Take Today

Fri, 01 May 2026 00:00:00 -0400

In this episode of Triggers and Spiritual Medicine, host Laura Bonetzky-Gaffney and guest Ukumbwa Sauti come together for a grounded and honest conversation about rape culture, accountability, and the role men can play in creating real change.

This episode invites listeners into a deeper understanding of how harm shows up in everyday life not just in extreme cases, but in language, silence, dismissal, and the normalization of harm toward women and girls.

Rather than staying at the level of awareness alone, Laura and Ukumbwa focus on what comes next: ACTION. Together they explore practical, real-world steps men, parents, and women can take today such as believing survivors, interrupting harmful behavior in the moment, supporting organizations that serve survivors, engaging with policy and legislation, and actively unlearning patterns rooted in patriarchy.

The conversation also highlights the importance of raising the next generation differently.

That means teaching consent EARLY, modeling emotional responsibility, and challenging harmful ideas about masculinity in homes, schools, and communities.

At its core, this episode is a call to responsibility without shame, and action without delay.

Accessing the Inner Wise Woman

Mon, 06 Apr 2026 00:00:00 -0400

In this episode of Triggers in Spiritual Medicine, host Laura Bonetzky-Gaffney explores the powerful theme of Remembering the Inner Wise Woman.

Across generations, the intuitive wisdom and leadership of women has often been silenced, persecuted, or erased through systems of control and historical trauma. From the persecution of healers during the European witch hunts, to institutions like the Magdalene Laundries in Ireland, to the suppression of Indigenous spiritual traditions through European colonization of the Americas, the echoes of these events still live in our collective and ancestral memory.

In this deeply reflective episode, Laura invites listeners to explore how these histories have shaped the way many women relate to their intuition, voice, and spiritual authority today.

Through guided questions and storytelling, she encourages listeners to reconnect with the ancient wisdom carried within their bodies, lineage, and lived experiences.

Listeners are invited to explore three ways to reconnect with the Inner Wise Woman:
• Listening to the wisdom of the body
• Reconnecting with ancestral knowledge and lineage
• Creating space for silence, stillness, and deep inner listening
The episode also includes a guided drum meditation designed to help listeners quiet the thinking mind and connect with the deeper voice of the Inner Wise Woman within.

Laura concludes with an invitation for those who feel called to continue this exploration in community.

She will be presenting further on this topic at the Inspired Life! Women’s Weekend of Love, Light & Laughter in Quincy on April 11–12, where participants will have an opportunity to go deeper into the work of reclaiming feminine wisdom, spiritual sovereignty, and ancestral remembering.

This episode is an invitation to reflect on a powerful question:
What if the wisdom you have been searching for has been within you—and within your ancestral line—all along?

Making Your Life A Living Prayer

Mon, 02 Mar 2026 10:00:00 -0500

What does it mean to make your life a living prayer?

In this deeply layered conversation, Laura welcomes Rosanne Romiglio-Ashley, author, artist, and spiritual teacher who writes under the ancestral name of her great great grandmother, Marie Dion. Together they explore what it means to walk between worlds with integrity, to bridge the seen and unseen, and to reclaim the wisdom of lineage without appropriation.

Rosanne shares her journey of reconnecting with her Indigenous heritage, being called by her ancestors, and honoring her family’s survival story. She speaks openly about ancestral guidance, the responsibility that comes with spiritual gifts, and the ripple effect of healing across generations.

The conversation weaves through prayer as gratitude rather than petition, cultural conditioning around spirituality, and the courage required to live in alignment with spirit. Rosanne recounts the ten year journey of returning a sacred pipe to its rightful home in the Black Hills, an experience that became the foundation of her book What’s Sacred.

Laura and Rosanne also discuss alternative healing paths, overcoming trauma, navigating triggers, and the importance of reconnecting with one’s own cultural roots rather than appropriating another’s traditions.

They explore the concept of life review, personal accountability, and how everyday choices shape both personal and collective healing.

This episode is a call back to simplicity.

Journaling by hand.

Practicing gratitude.

Listening for ancestral whispers.

Living with integrity.

Because meaningful spiritual growth does not come from grand gestures. It comes from consistent, courageous presence.

Rosanne will be sharing more of her teachings at Healing with Spirit Studio in Hingham on March 28th, including insights from What’s Sacred and Make Your Life a Living Prayer.

This is a conversation about remembrance.

About responsibility.

About reconciliation.

About love.

And about making your life the prayer itself.

Digging For Mother's Bones

Mon, 02 Feb 2026 20:00:00 -0500

In this February episode of Triggers in Spiritual Medicine, Laura is joined by mystic, author, and embodied truth teller Coco Oya for a conversation that moves far beyond surface level spirituality and into the bones of real healing.

Together, Laura and Coco Oya explore what happens when women’s circles stop bypassing discomfort and begin addressing the deeper ancestral, racial, maternal, and embodied wounds that live in the body. Drawing from Coco Oya’s powerful book Digging for Mother’s Bones, the conversation invites listeners to reconnect with the wisdom of the body, the womb, and the feminine creative force that has been suppressed, misunderstood, or diluted into “love and light” spirituality.

Coco Oya shares her journey from being a self described non feeler to fully embodying feminine power after a near death experience, and how that initiation revealed the collective mother wound that so many carry, often unconsciously. Laura and Coco Oya speak candidly about what it means to move from a mindset of being broken or needing to be fixed into remembering our inherent wholeness.

This episode weaves together embodiment, ancestral healing, racial truth telling, and the necessity of moving beyond band aid approaches to healing. They reflect on the discomfort that arises when spiritual spaces avoid hard conversations, and why true sisterhood requires honesty, accountability, and a willingness to feel what lives in the body rather than label or bypass it.
They also explore the balance between feminine and masculine energies, with women as alchemizers of energy and men as guardians of land and life, and how both are needed to restore harmony. The conversation touches on current global turbulence, bodily symptoms during times of rapid energetic change, and why trusting the body’s intelligence is essential as humanity moves through this pivotal threshold.

As always, this episode offers reflection, truth, and practical spiritual medicine, inviting listeners to turn triggers into transformation and remember the wisdom they already carry.

Links to Coco Oya’s book Digging for Mother’s Bones and her upcoming women’s gathering and meditation space are included in the show notes.

The 2026 Web We Are Weaving

Mon, 12 Jan 2026 21:00:00 -0500

In this episode of Triggers in Spiritual Medicine, Laura reflects on the 12 Omen Days observed at the threshold between years and what they reveal about the energetic, relational, and collective themes unfolding in 2026.

Rather than predictions or bypassing, this episode offers a grounded, embodied reading of the signs, symbols, encounters, and disruptions that appeared day by day. From animal messengers and meaningful human interactions to silence, proximity, disenchantment, and quiet completion, these Omen Days revealed a pattern not of urgency, but of discernment.

This is a year that does not ask us to push, chase, or perform our way forward. It asks us to listen, to notice what approaches organically, and to recognize what has quietly withered and completed its cycle.

Laura weaves together lived experience, ancestral patterning, nervous system wisdom, and spiritual sobriety to explore what kind of web we are actively creating through our choices, relationships, boundaries, and presence.

This episode is an invitation to slow down, release illusion, and consciously participate in what you are weaving — personally, collectively, and ancestrally — as we move through 2026.

In This Episode, We Explore:

The meaning of the 12 Omen Days and how they map the months ahead
Patterns of proximity, timing, and trust
Why stillness preceded movement
The role of discernment over expansion
What completes quietly versus what demands attention
How to live 2026 without forcing clarity or bypassing complexity

TSM Episode 51: Energy Forecast, Astrology, Tarot, and the Power of Transformation

Mon, 03 Nov 2025 00:00:00 -0500

In this episode of Triggers And Spiritual Medicine, Laura reunites with astrologer and spiritual teacher Hilary Harley for a deeply reflective and cosmic conversation on the intersection of energy, astrology, language, and transformation.

Together, they explore the intense energetic climate moving into November—a time calling for grounding, courage, and conscious preparation.

Laura opens with a Samhain season prayer, honoring the ancestors and invoking the healed and whole grandmothers—the wise ancient ones guiding us through these thresholds of profound change. She also shares insights from Spirit and messages received during her pilgrimage to Ireland, offering both warning and wisdom for what lies ahead.

Hilary provides astrological guidance through this rare alignment of Saturn and Neptune in Pisces and Pluto in Aquarius—a once-in-a-generation cosmic reset urging humanity to awaken, mature, and rebuild. Laura weaves in tarot messages that echo the same themes of renewal and transformation, as both explore the evolutionary cycles of change unfolding now.

The conversation flows from cosmic to practical—touching on November’s energetic shifts, potential disruptions, and the importance of embracing challenges as gateways for growth. Together, they discuss sustainability, Earth reconnection, and the rebalancing of energies unseen in thousands of years.

✨ Topics include:

Why this is an incredible time for deep spiritual nourishment

The importance of emotional maturity

Samhain, sovereignty, and ancestral wisdom

The incoming Mercury Retrograde and its energetic lessons

Saturn–Neptune and Pluto in Aquarius: a cosmic reset for humanity

Generational healing and preserving elder wisdom

Working with darkness as fertile ground for transformation

Sustainable, long-term healing for both Earth and community

As Laura and Hilary remind us, true growth is not found in the light—but in our willingness to face the shadows with courage, authenticity, and love.

She feels one of her great gifts is synthesizing many different streams of information and teachings into messages for the Highest Good without being confined by any one particular system. She primarily uses the Tropical Zodiac and Placidus house system - she feels it is the most accurate.

She has been a student of astrology and all things Metaphysical since she was a teenager, over 30 years ago. She’s always had a voracious appetite for Knowledge and Information.

She founded VICTORY ASTROLOGY in January, 2018. This space is meant to share her love of astrology and help teach others how to empower themselves by learning to understand the language of Astrology, rather than seeing it as a “Belief System” or religion. It is not.

For those who do not know Dr. Jess ... I can't highly recommend her and her work enough. This episode is life changing. I rarely endorse anyone for good reasons. So when I do, there's a good reason and I'd stake my reputation on it.

During the PhD, Jessica explored emerging perspectives and critical approaches to understanding victim blaming. She also studied advanced psychometric theory and created the BOWSVA Scale (a validated psychometric which has the ability to measure victim blaming attitudes of women subjected to sexual violence and abuse).

Jessica had a vision for an independent organization that could challenge, change and influence millions of people to understand that victim blaming, misogyny and pathologization was embedded into every system in the world, and so in April 2017, she launched VictimFocus.

In April 2020, Jessica released ‘Why Women Are Blamed For Everything’ self-publishing in paperback. With no publisher, agent or publicist, the book caused an international conversation and celebrity endorsements resulting in 10,000 copies sold in the first six weeks.

In March 2022, 'Sexy But Psycho' was released and went straight to Sunday Times Best Seller, entering at #5 in the national non-fiction book chart.

Episode #1: The Bystander Effect on Teen Influences & Sexual Violence

Wed, 16 Nov 2022 09:00:00 -0500

A must listen episode regarding a local incident w/ guest, Ukumbwa Sauti. This conversation is to open a conversation about a topic that is typically silenced & how we, as a society, as a culture, have normalized certain unhealthy behaviors that can have detrimental consequences.

Let's change this narrative, shall we???

In this episode, we talk about the

community backlash
subtleties of mixed message signaling
bystander impact
systemic issues create blind spots that can appear funny
“NOT intentional sexualization of teenage boys” (as someone in the local community put it) – & the gateway to unintentional grooming practices by predators & rapists that blur healthy boundaries & potential put our children in harm's way.

Important stats per (NSVRC)

1:3 female & 1:4 male victims experienced rape for the 1st time between 11 & 17yo
1:4 undergraduate women experienced sexual assault at 33 major universities

In this episode we offer 5 things we can do NOW to begin that shift & BE a part of the solution.

With as much as 90% of her clients with clinical PTSD, Dr. Kross began to see the correlation of chronic pain and the connection to unhealed sexual trauma history.

One in four women report military sexual trauma - although this is under reported. Half of those who report sexual trauma are men.

Dr. Kross shares 3 Tips on how to look at chronic pain differently and what to do about it. She also offers tips on what to look for to find a trauma informed physical therapist.

ABOUT Dr. Tawny Kross:
Dr. Tawny Kross graduated with her Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Duke University in 2013.

She has worked in a Veterans Affairs hospital for nearly a decade now. Through the course of her practice, she has developed a very comprehensive and integrative approach to PT, which evolved from the necessity of such an approach in her work with the complexities of those who have chronic pain. This includes nutrition, hypnosis, guided imagery, mindfulness among other practices.

Focusing on mental health and being trauma-sensitive is of particular importance, as many of her clients have experienced military sexual trauma. She helps her clients move beyond pain and fear by connecting them with internal motivations, guiding them to see innate strengths and realize their inner healing abilities.

She recently started her own business, Kross Centered Care - Integrative PT, Health and Wellness in order to bring her expertise to more people.

Episode #5: How The Burning Times of Witches Influence White Women Culture

Mon, 25 Jul 2022 21:00:00 -0400

Welcome to Episode #5 of Triggers & Spiritual Medicine Podcast with host Laura Bonetzky-Joseph and our Guest Rae Carter of EmpowR

Topic: How The Burning Times of Witches Influence White Women Culture

In this episode Rae shares her breast cancer journey and what it is like to heal the root issues both within herself and as a society as she continued to deepen her healing and recovery.

What she discovered along the way is short of inspiring, it is eye opening with that Ah-ha moment of like “Oh crap, so this is where everything is rooted”.

Have you ever wondered why women do not support each other – especially white women? Especially in business and careers? Instead, we often feel envy, jealousy, or judgement?

Have you ever wondered why women are so darn critical of other women? Like where does this stuff really come from?

Have you ever wondered why women feel an instinctual need to compete against each other, but you do not know where it is rooted?

Have you ever wondered where the ideology of women serving the man ever came from?

I ask you to tune in to THIS very thought-provoking amazing episode as we shed the beliefs systems, we’ve been conditioned to believe that runs through our very DNA over hundreds of years.

I will add this episode may be triggering for some who are not ready to dive deep into the root issues many of us women – especially white women are experiencing and WHY we keep repeating cycles that do not serve us OR repeating cycles that serve us in a way that still keeps us chained to the patriarchal expectations.

This is sure to be a POWERFUL episode, and, in the end, Rae's offers 3 things you can do today to make a shift.
