#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.” Follow her: https://www.instagram.com/lauramahony_photography/ Content Summary: 6:15 Opening Up the World of Tarot Laura’s spiritual journey - the moment she began to follow her heart instead of her head Feeling through the numbness by listening to her inner voice “I decided it was time to sit in my shit.

#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.

We need to do better than that.” “We need to not just maintain the landscapes, but regenerate them and bring them back to health.” “As consumers, we have the potential to support regenerative agriculture.” “Consumers should be able to tell if their food is regenerative.” “The health of the planet depends on how we treat our grasslands.” Thank you listeners!!

#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. Content Summary: 14:00 Realizing There is No “Perfect Diet” Katie’s moment of awareness and how she started in her career field Finding that “gentle middle” for yourself by experimenting with intuitive eating 21:30 Dabbling In Intuitive Eating Getting comfortable that there is no framework, no yes/no food lists “When we are more in tune with our bodies, we can pause listen to what our bodies are asking for.” 25:00 Being Okay With Adding Carbs Realizing that some of us actually need more carbs in order to heal adrenal stress and lose stubborn body fat “It’s okay to experiment because your body is a dynamic changing vessel.” 28:00 Learning to Slow Down Dealing with adrenal stress by allowing yourself to recover and slow down Stepping back from the intensity reconciling within ourselves 34:20 Understanding Yourself Enneagrams: Learning how your personality responds to people and situations Reminding yourself that there are people out in the world that will resonate with what you say “If it's put on our hearts, it's our responsibility to do the work.” 40:00 An Intuitive Switch Listening to the little whispers that get louder and louder, following what pulls us “Quiet your mind, listen to what is inside and feel the flow of your intuition.” 47:00 Using Control as a Tool Asking yourself “What do I need to trust and how can I release control?” “The universe wants to give us our desires.” 51:00 Making Friends With Food How to help the relationship between yourself and food “We open up our energy and space when we stop stressing about food.” 54:30 Facing Our Shame and Unpleasant Emotions Instead of immediately numbing out, trying to sit with hard emotions Getting curious, becoming aware of your feelings and gaining self-compassion 59:00 Spirit Animal https://katiegarces.com/ https://www.instagram.com/katiegarces/ Thank you listeners!!
