A podcast episode with Lucy St Jack, inspired by her “Mother Circle” 8 week offering I attended last year while pregnant with our first little bubba. The grounded, palpable inspiration she was offering this event from, was something I (was deeply moved by & informed some of my birthing journey & anchors in early postpartum) and, I wanted to explore more of, hear her story & give you the chance to, too! This is a conversation about the health of Women & Mothers. The background over culture & mother culture that is our intergenerational task to have impactful conversations & actions about to benefit, our Mothers, women, children and the greater Mother of the Earth that holds us all, and our care for the greater archetypal Mother. This is a conversation were Lucy shares her story about why & how she shows up the way she does, her journey with movement, health, Mothering & her observations of the places she lives. We’re asking the questions & answering them about how we allow for the female form and various cycles in this current day & age. This is a conversation about belonging; to ourselves, place, cycles, Earth & community. There is so much more in this podcast episode; The nervous system, boundaries, bridging the heart, body & brain communication language system to increase our capacities to respond, communicate & live in this current relational world we do. How do we put language to our experiences? first and foremost for ourselves. As Lucy highlights there is something subtle yet effervescent when we make contact with these deeper places within us, that then ripple out to have impact. It was an honour to sit with Lucy by the fire, on a windy winter, cloudy morning with the White Gum Eucalyptus swaying in the background. Opening ourselves up to be moved by story. When she left our abode, I could feel the whispering to my bones, it will yours too. The experience is within the experience of the podcast episode - We’d love to hear your feedback and listening experience! Please do let us know what the episode moved in you, and moved through you. You can do that here on Spotify or email me at wildbeautyways@gmail.com It’s still winter, and though there is an energy moving at the pace broad beans grow I can feel the fire of spring, the spring of lambs & regenerative growth that follows the shedding of Autumn & the deep rooting of Winter. Lucy drove down the gravel drive, two Wedge-tailed eagles soaring overhead. Story truly is medicine when told, felt & received! May you “come closer in” as an invite from this conversation; To yourself, the current of what truly matters and what it means to live life.

A podcast series born from the brewings during my first early postpartum experience. Wild Beauty Ways podcast is a small ground up podcast, with a new series born out of birthing my first Son; so too it is the birth of a Mother when a child is born, and new calls to attention. One layer being (of course I'm always moved by story) having conversations about the human existence, motherhood, matrescence, the way of the feminine, deep listening, the nervous system, poetry, empowering our children . With local women of my community . The wisdom is here all around, and in each of us.
