#70: Laura Mahony Reads Em's Tarot, Sitting in the Shit(Hibernation anyone?)
Laura Mahony‘s spiritual journey began at a young age and has since then grown into fruition. Past experiences of numbness and feelings of unworthiness led Laura to a defining moment in her life as she leaned into her own intuition. “I decided it was time to sit in my shit. I felt all of my feelings.” In this episode of Meathead Hippie, Laura talks about opening up the world of tarot cards and illuminating the energy that guides us through some of life’s most questionable and challenging moments. The process of tarot card reading starts with meditating and becoming the boss of your own mind. We must allow ourselves to settle in a parasympathetic state in order to listen to the answers our hearts are trying to tell us. Laura also talks about manifesting your highest energy and learning how to receive life’s blessings without feeling like it has to be earned. We must not block the flow between giving and receiving… “Accessing self-love is an expansive energy.”

#69 with Bobby Gill on Regenerative Agriculture, Ultra-Running, Fall and Fasting
As a former ultra-marathon runner, Bobby transitioned from long distance running to a life dedicated to improving our world’s ecosystem. In this episode of Meathead Hippie, Bobby talks about one key aspect to farming sustainably that not many people are aware of, and that is the concept of “regenerative agriculture.” Working with Savory Institute, whose mission is to teaching farmers and ranchers how to plan the grazing of their animals in a way that mimics their natural, migratory movements, Bobby emphasizes that, “The health of the planet depends on how we treat our grasslands.” Additionally, Bobby discusses the harmful attributes to industrial feedlots, organic standards with the food industry and how we, as consumers, can make daily conscious decisions in supporting our ecosystem.

#65 with Katie Garces: The Dark Moon, Intuitive Eating, and Breaking the Dieting Cycle
Katie Garces is leading others towards “becoming the best versions of themselves, physically, nutritionally, spiritually and emotionally.” In this episode of Meathead Hippie, Em and Katie discuss the powerful depth of following your intuition. For Katie, the moment of awareness came to her when she started to battle with adrenal dysfunction and realized that there really is no “perfect diet” to heal her body. She knew that it would have to take a lot of her own curiosity by experimenting with different foods in order to see which of them would work best for her body. “When we are more in tune with our bodies, we can pause listen to what our bodies are really asking for.” Katie Garces talks about how she had to learn how to slow down and allow herself time and space to heal properly. By creating room to grow, Katie says that this helped her make an “intuitive switch” by quieting her mind, releasing control and letting herself flow to her own body’s rhythm.

In this special episode of Meathead Hippie, Em highlights two (out of many) of her most favorite clips from The Body Awareness Project Part One: Skin which is all about addressing the root causes of skin issues by looking deeper into our bodies.
