This week we are rebroadcasting our episode with Leah Penniman on Farming While Black: Restoring Sacred Relationship with the Land and One Another, synchronistically originally aired exactly one year ago in June of 2019. This episode is especially timely as we collectively face a collective uprising against racism, a global pandemic and unprecedented challenges as well as opportunities for change and healing. As we reflected back in 2019, Leah offers so much wisdom rooted in the power of Mother Earth and ways we can begin to dismantle racism through social justice work and connecting back to nature. In this episode, you'll experience Leah's pioneering energy that supports our collective re-memberance of our sacred connection to land and the ways we can begin healing the injustices of the imposed systems as a community. Leah's work with Soul Fire Farm is to increase farmland stewardship by people of color, promote equity in food access, and train the next generation of activist farmers. Her book Farming While Black, is the first comprehensive manual for African-heritage people ready to reclaim their rightful place of dignified agency in the food system, with a concise ·how-to· for all aspects of small-scale farming. But it's not just Is a compendium of ·how-tos· for small scale farming... it's rich with historical context and weaving in the pragmatic with spirituality, soil ecology, planning, tools, plant medicine, healing trauma, and movement building. Leah breaks it all down for us in this episode! http://www.wildlyrooted.com/fywpodcast/leahpenniman

In this Akashic reading for June, we continue our dance with the sacred elements, this time for our liberation. Our guides have an invitation for us: During times of disorientation, drop into your heart and allow your heart to lead the way. Utilize the power of your mind to create the Vision that your heart holds. Honor the sacred elements and how they work on us & through us for our transformation. Remember your pockets of air, taking intentional moments of deep rest for restoration & in-spiration. And don't blame the rain… for it is here for our liberation. I offer some reflections at the end, including my personal thoughts on current tragic events including the murder of George Floyd, and continued demonstrations of violence against BIPOC that have claimed the lives of Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and untold others. It is my prayer that we look at the areas in our lives where we can bring the spiritual practice of unlearning and de-conditioning, and how we can support others in this collective Liberation process... especially those who have less privilege than ourselves.⁠ Click here for full show notes: http://www.wildlyrooted.com/fywpodcast/june2020akashic Private 90-Day 1:1 Akashic Transformational Mentorship (Limit spots open) A 90 day accelerated mentorship program to help you break through chronic health challenges and reconnect with your soul's purpose… This private one-on-one transformational program incorporates Akashic Records, habit change, functional nutrition, intuitive coaching and weaves in creativity, an abundance of resources, and more for a holistic approach to your health!

In this episode, we're speaking with one of my mentors Andrea Nakayama. If you are dealing with chronic dis-ease (helping someone who does) or experiencing major challenges during this pandemic, this episode is for YOU. We talk about how the pandemic is illuminating major gaps in the conventional American medical model... Andrea shares her helpful 3 Roots, Many Branches framework, and her "Circle of Influence" approach for how to handle tough situations like this pandemic. She talks about how to deal with inflammation: Clear, Calm, Enhance, and Modulate; and the importance of assessing the health of one's terrain to support immune function and resilience. Andrea shares her non-negotiables for managing one's health in this time and she has such a wealth and depth of experiences and information for those dealing with complex chronic illness - I love her take on health sovereignty. Listen to hear Andrea share inspiring ways she is drawing from her own painful life experiences to support her today. Full of tangible and applicable information, Andrea also weaves in potent medicine for how we can navigate this time with grace.

Happy beloved Mother's Day <3 Today we're celebrating the 2nd anniversary of the Feed Your Wild podcast! FYW is 2.. I'm so in love with this toddler and I'm so grateful for YOU as a listener. Thanks for joining me on this wild ride ;) Many of you have reached out asking for guidance on plants and herbs that would be most supportive in this time, and I wanted to bring someone on the show that worked with plants in a multidimensional way and focused on accessibility + community support. That's why we're speaking with Renée Camila of La Yerba Buena Herbs. I LOVED this conversation, we touched on so much, here are some highlights... Renée shared ways we can work with our plant allies and herbal medicine to support ourselves during this pandemic - she touches in on the energetic and spiritual elements. We talk about finding ways to reorient ourselves to our medicine in a way that feels accessible and reciprocal. Renée shares some of her favorite plants for working with grief, visioning, change, and boundaries + protection and how to work with them including important considerations for foraging and wildcrafting. We also talk about how to get radical with plants in the kitchen (including an amazing herbal resource for you), plus how Renée is supporting her own family with special recipes. She shares some well-needed advice for those experiencing panic in this time, why Renée believes working with your ancestors is so helpful and how radical self-care is a form of ancestral work. Renée also shares about her upcoming herbal apprenticeship and free herbal workshops.

This episode is for all of you who FEEL deeply, identify as empaths and highly sensitive people! Our guest Lola Pickett works primarily with empaths/HSPs in reclaiming their resilience and power through their sensitivities. We dive into what is a highly sensitive person and empath, and the difference between the two. Lola shares the most common patterns that show up for empaths/HSPs that hold them back from stepping into their full power - so many have shown up in my own life. We talk about how this pandemic can be a portal for those folks to step into their powers of sensitivity and why we need to "upgrade the program" and tap into our resiliency during this time. Lola shares her own personal journey with this pandemic and the tool that she used to help herself work through overwhelming anxiety - partnering with her brain. We touch on the medicine Lola sees we are receiving through this process, Lola's thoughts on navigating fear and how we can move with fear in a way that best serves us, plus helpful questions to ask yourself. Of course we share some practical ways we can support ourselves as highly sensitive during this pandemic, and how we can continue to do so as we move into the unknown.

In this Akashic reading for May, we are hearing the ancient call of the Wind. Our guides remind us of our perennial conversation with the elements and all of the natural world. It's time we wake up to conscious participation. We are shown how our breath tethers us to this interconnection, always in relationship and reciprocity. The Winds have a message for you, it's time to engage in conversation. I offer some reflections at the end, including my personal thoughts on why these types of conversations are critical for not just this time during the pandemic, but for facing the unknown beyond.

This week we are rebroadcasting our episode with Brenda Salgado on Curanderismo, Prophecy & Mindfulness, originally aired in May of 2019. Brenda and Venessa's conversation explores curanderismo and indigenous prophecy about our current times and the shift in consciousness we are experiencing. This episode remains timely as we collectively face a global pandemic and unprecedented challenges as well as opportunities for change and healing. As we reflected back in 2019, mindfulness practice can help you cultivate more inner power, peace, dignity and grace as well as navigate challenges and difficulties with more clarity and courage in this current time of shift. Brenda Salgado is founder of Nepantla Consulting, and is currently in the process of establishing the Nepantla Center for Healing and Renewal. She holds degrees in Biology (BA), Developmental Psychology (BA), and Animal Behavior (MS). Brenda has over 17 years of experience in leadership development, nonprofit management, spiritual teaching, movement building, women's health, and environmental and social justice. She has also received training from indigenous elders in traditional medicine, limpias and healing ceremony. Trained by Purepecha, Xochimilco Toltec and other indigenous elders in traditional medicine, Brenda draws on the healing powers of the natural world to guide her work as a spiritual leader. She is committed to co-creating a society filled with wholeness and beauty. Brenda is also author of Real World Mindfulness for Beginners: Navigate Daily Life One Practice at a Time. I'm honored to once again share this episode with you as a profound reminder of the incredible time we are living in and how to Be the change we desire to cultivate a more beautiful world in reciprocity with all beings.

Today I'm releasing an interview I did with Dr. Leslie Korn, PhD. We recorded this interview a while back before the pandemic began (pre-Coronavirus), yet the topic discussion remains highly relevant: Nurturing Radiant Health At Every Stage thru Everyday Plant Medicine... What better week to release such an episode than this week in celebration of Earth day on April 22, which also happens to be a new moon in earthly Taurus. Of course we celebrate earth day every day on this podcast and Dr. Leslie's new book, Natural Woman, can be an ally to put this into practice in our daily lives. Her latest book Natural Woman is an incredibly comprehensive DIY herbal medicine book: Dr. Leslie draws from several herbal traditions (the medico-spiritual traditions of Curanderismo (Mexico), Ayurveda, Sufiism, and Northwest plant/fungi use by Native American communities) to address numerous health conditions—acute and chronic—and includes descriptions of how to use herbal preparations for spiritual and ritual use. Safe and effective remedies and recipes: This book is designed to serve as an herbal companion for you to consult time and again for trusted guidance that can be shared with family, friends. In these modern times when we're losing this custom and tradition of passing of information from elders, it is an invaluable resource especially in the context of this pandemic which highlights the critical importance of health sovereignty, restoring our sacred natural connection with Mama Earth. In this interview and Dr. Leslie's book, we explore the sacred connection between herbs and womxn in ALL their beautiful forms.

This week, we're taking a bit of a breather from regular scheduled programming and sharing something to provide a moment of pause amidst the information overload and overwhelm. In the first part of the episode, I share my personal thoughts on health sovereignty, what I've been focusing my energy & attention on during this pandemic (going back to basics), and the importance of community within health. In the second part, I share a short Akashic meditation that hopefully provides some nourishment for the nervous system. *To skip directly to the meditation, go to 24:30 mark.
