This podcast is for the highly-sensitive, the creatives, the earth-loving, the caregivers, the weirdos, the feelers, the changemakers, and dreamers of the world. Here we are all about guiding you to trust your body-intuition so you can find home and shift culture. Through the exploration of somatic practice, self-care, and seasonal ritual my hope is that you will be inspired to be in harmony with yourself and in a dance with the Earth.

📚 Cozy Bookish Conversation with Fantasy Author: Melissa Blair
Here is a conversation with the author of one of my favorite reads from this past year: The Halfling Saga. There are currently two books out from this amazing series, and the third is soon to be released. If you haven’t read these books yet, they will soon be added to your TBR after listening to this conversation with Melissa Blair.
In this conversation we do absolutely talk about Melissa’s books, her inspiration, and some foundational aspects of the stories, but we also talk about what it’s like to navigate being a creative person, and even more specifically what it’s like to also live with depression. Melissa is super honest, vulnerable, and real in this conversation, and I felt incredibly honored by what she shared and the practical advice she offers listeners. I personally got A LOT out of this conversation, and I know you will too.
About our guest:
Melissa Blair (she/her) is an Anishinaabe-kwe from the northern part of Turtle Island (Canada). She writes books that explore themes of colonialism, identity, cultural revitalization, and Indigenous sovereignty. When she's not writing she is posting bookish content on TikTok @melissas.bookshelf or failing to get through her massive TBR pile. Apart from books, Melissa loves board games, hiking, and movies but absolutely despises spoons.
Read The Halfling Saga!

About our guest:
Iona is a queer chaotic Brit who loves cozy games, and all things Nintendo. She started her channel because she couldn’t find many other women talking about Nintendo games on YouTube, so she just decided to become that person instead. And fun fact, she also have a PhD in chemistry!

🥀 The Moonflower Path Community Space is going into hibernation
I've made the challenging but necessary decision to put The Moonflower Path Community Space into hibernation mode for an undetermined amount of time. Listen to this episode to learn a bit more about:
- The "why" of this decision (since I'm still in the messiness of it, this is a brief share, and in time I will open up more)
- What to expect from The Moonflower Path as a whole
- What's happening in the podcast (it's not going anywhere)
- How you TOO can take radical breaks, moonflower
Stay tuned for how I'd like to gather with you, December, to end our collective chapters, together.

This podcast is giving me all the cozy, somatic, seasonal vibes that I need this summer. So glad to have found Carolynne’s podcast 🌝🌺
Like a cozy blanket wrapping me up…
The Moonflower Path is just that - a moonblessed path that leads to a deeper relationship with my intuition, my desire for real self-care, and the role my agency plays in the path my life takes. Listen if you’re looking to come home to yourself.
So cozy!
Love this podcast so much!! :)
