The Coven of Awesomeness Podcast

Send us a textWe've got a totally awesome guest this week. We're welcoming Mary Ellen Valverde of Nourished by ME to talk about how she uses cacao in her spiritual and self-care practice. But first, she's helping us bring some witchy wisdom to a listener who wants to build up her spiritual tool box.Then Mary Ellen answer's Renee and Louise's burning questions about cacao. How do you make it? Why is it not as delicious as chocolate? What makes it "ceremonial?" Who's it for? And most importantly, how can it make our lives more awesome? As both a spiritual practitioner, a licensed nutritionist, and an Ecuadorian citizen, Mary Ellen shares all her knowledge and experience, and we're so grateful.Then, Renee has been doing some Tarot tutoring, Louise is laughing at some good Scottish weather-related puns, and Mary Ellen is becoming a more confident yoga instructor.Follow Mary Ellen on InstagramFor complete show notes and links, go to awesomeon20.com/episode185Follow Renee on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/Renee_awesomeon20/Follow Louise on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/Louise_awesomeon20/Support the showIf you're able, give this podcast your support by joining the International Coven of Awesomeness on Patreon so we can keep sharing witchy content for that's free for all.Get your free ebook How to Work with the Moon to Get Things Done.Check out the latest workshop offerings from the STC Witchcraft Academy for both online workshops and in-person circles in the Glasgow, Scotland area.Find all your favorite recipes and witch tips at Awesome on 20 Kitchen Magick.Book a tarot reading with Renee at Sagittarian Tarot & Coaching.
