The Wild Return Tue, 26 May 2026 18:27:46 -0400 https://thewildreturnpodcast.buzzsprout.com en-us © 2026 The Wild Return yes 11031e1b-8959-551d-9b85-c144077fbdb1 SARAH SCHOTT episodic false Welcome to The Wild Return, a podcast where we explore womanhood as power, motherhood as alchemy, and the journey of remembering who we really are and coming home to our true nature. 


In this space, women gather to tune in and reconnect with how our womb and body, motherhood journey, and Nature, are all gateways to our soul, healing, wholeness and power, so that we can create and lead fulfilling, aligned lives, be the mom our kids need, and do our own unique part to create planetary change and collective healing.


Hosted by Sarah Schott, whose own winding path back to herself involved leaving behind a career in medicine for the health and fitness world before becoming a mother and experiencing her own personal reckoning. She spent much of her life in fear of her body after losing her grandmother to ovarian cancer, being on the Pill for over a decade, and experiencing an eating disorder. It was the combination of her past experiences, conviction to heal herself, passion for natural and holistic health, and becoming a mother that all culminated to bring her here, firmly planted in her calling.


Expect thought-provoking conversations, courageous shares and learnings from Sarah’s own story, as well as practices and tools to support you in connecting more deeply with yourself – body, mind, heart, and spirit. 


Because what the world needs now is wildly, deeply rooted mothers who remember exactly who they are.

The Equinox marks a threshold of balance (equal day and night), as well as the astrological new year. I see early spring as a slow unfolding, rather than a time to rush, encouraging the integration of winter lessons, releasing what no longer fits, listening to the body’s needs, and trusting in nature’s timing. I offer ideas for simple rituals to honor this sacred celebration, including witnessing the sunrise/sunset, spring cleaning for the home and cleansing baths/scrubs for the body, nature walks and seasonal watching, egg decorating, a gratitude practice, creating beauty, and a seed-planting ritual, plus journaling prompts on balance, joy, awakening, seeds, and growth.

We’ll explore growth as a cyclical “spiral” rather than linear progress, reframing recurring challenges and “darker” phases as portals for transformation instead of problems to fix. I discuss the cultural tendencies to medicate, pathologize, and monetize women’s rites of passage and why these thresholds matter for personal and collective change.

Sarah also discusses women’s layered seasonality—yearly seasons, menstrual and lunar rhythms, and life phases (maiden, mother, maga, crone).

The episode focuses on late winter and Imbolc as a transition marked by rest, introspection, the fertile void, and quiet creative potential, with “start/stop” energy that invites nourishment and capacity-building before spring. 

She shares practical ways to align with this season—mindful rest, following curiosity and creativity, deep nourishment, spring cleaning/decluttering, and time in nature—plus journal prompts about aliveness, devotion, support, readiness for action, and what needs releasing. 

Sarah announces a virtual Spring Equinox circle, “From the Wellspring,” on Sunday, March 22 at 2:00 PM Eastern, which will be interwoven with ritual, including a release practice, a guided journey into one’s inner wellspring, and creating a nature mandala.
