Welcome to Seed Capital, a show for resourced women who are ready to move away from accumulation and extraction, and toward regeneration and legacy. Every seed needs something to grow in. Every vision needs capital to become real. This show is for women holding resources, inherited, earned, or built and sold, who are done with the old playbook of extract, scale, exit, repeat, and want to know what actually comes next.

    Do Not Squander Your Gifts (the money story I had to unlearn)

    In this episode, I open up about my money story and the direction my work is moving toward. I talk about the new world I can see us building together, with us as seed investors and midwives of a new culture, where we get to redefine what capital means and distribute it in more ethical, responsible ways. I share my relationship with money and the stories I inherited about it growing up, and how I'm relearning what true investment actually looks like. I talk about the importance of returning to the hyperlocal, investing money and otherwise within a smaller radius, and the real difference that makes, especially right now. My hope is that this episode breaks down some of the shame and discomfort around talking about money, and opens up the conversations that need to happen.

    Radical Hope for Climate-Anxious Parents with Caitlyn Wallace

    Belonging is now Seed Capital - a show for resourced women who are ready to move away from accumulation and extraction, and toward regeneration and legacy. Every new world starts as a seed someone was willing to plant and steward into being. Seed Capital is a show for resourced women at a crossroads, done with extraction, unsure what replaces it. Each week: stewardship, vision, and the real work of deploying wealth to birth a new paradigm. For the woman who wants to be a good ancestor, starting now. Same host, same vibes, new name. Now onto to today’s episode: How do you navigate being a parent (or wanting to become one) in a world that is grappling with climate change? In today’s episode, I am joined by Caitlyn Wallace, LCSW, PMH-C, and a licensed clinical social worker, educator, and supervisor based in Reno, Nevada. She is the founder of Desert Bloom Wellness NV and her current work intersects trauma-informed perinatal mental health support with climate grief and navigating parenthood in our current social, political and natural climate. Our conversation lands at these intersections, and explores what it means to raise and nurture the future generations in a collapsing world - and how to stay hopeful amidst it, too. Tune in to hear more from us on: The intensity of recent nature’s events and navigating this type of trauma during the perinatal periodDeciding to have a baby in a collapsing worldAcceptance and commitment therapyHow (new) parents are being targeted and guilt-tripped in this capitalist structureUnrecognized grief and guilt in becoming a parent in these timesTaking grounded, hopeful action that aligns with your values, such as setting up climate cafes and finding communityResources + Links Caitlyn Wallace’s websiteCarmen Spagnola’s GoFundMe for the loss of her farm in a wildfireBooks & other reads mentioned: Goliath’s Curse by Luke KempI Eat The Stars by Sarah Wilson (& her Ted Talk on Collapse)Sophie Strand’s Substack essay ‘Collapsollogy Reading List’Climate Psychology Alliance & the Climate Cafe resourcesJoanna Macy’s workSubscribe to my newsletterMy book, Root and Ritual: Timeless Ways to Connect to Land, Lineage, Community, and the SelfConnect with me on Instagram @beccapiastrelliTimestamps [0:00] Introduction [14:51] The Intersection of Perinatal and Climate Mental Health [22:25] Building Capacity to Feel Guilt and Other Emotions as a Parent around Climate Change [29:46] The Power of the Web of Community [33:17] Co-Opting Climate Guilt for New Parents [39:48] Having Hope amidst the Climate Crisis and the Collapse Apocalypse [43:18] Radical Mothering and the Ability to Look a Few Generations Ahead

    We Were Not Unlucky. We Were Being Prepared with Sarah Davidson

    What does it mean to be a millennial right now - at this exact moment of institutional collapse, climate crisis, and collective upheaval? In this conversation, I sit down with my dear friend and neighbor Sarah Davidson for a wide-ranging talk about generational identity, community resilience, and why millennials might be more prepared for this moment than we think. Drawing on generational theory, Sarah reframes the millennial story: rather than a generation defined by what was taken from us, we are the "hero generation" - the same archetypal cohort as the Greatest Generation - born into crisis and uniquely suited to build what comes next. We explore what that actually looks like on the ground: local currencies, bioregional financing, community-led economies, and the radical act of turning toward each other rather than away. This is a conversation about collapse - and how to meet it with clarity, creativity, and even joy.

    From Lonely in a Crowd to Truly Met: the Relational Work Nobody Talks About with Ginny Muir

    What does it actually take to feel less lonely — even in a room full of people? In this rich, wide-ranging conversation, Becca welcomes back relationship coach Ginny Muir for her second appearance on the Belonging Podcast. Calling in from her jungle home in Costa Rica, Ginny brings her signature blend of warmth, rigor, and humor to a topic that sits at the heart of every relationship we have: the courage to reveal our truest selves. Together, we explore the fascinating world of child consciousness, relational intimacy, and how understanding our child strategies can transform our relationships and inner life. Ginny shares profound insights on recognizing and including our childhood selves to foster greater connection and authenticity. Key topics include: Why loneliness is a symptom of emotional hiding , and how most of us learned to hide earlyThe difference between child consciousness and adult consciousness, and why most conflict, avoidance, and resentment lives in the gap between themWhy "healing your inner child" is a dead end, and what to do instead (notice, include, redirect)How our survival strategies are as unique as our thumbprints, and why attachment theory alone doesn't capture the full pictureA real-life example from Ginny’s community: what it looked like to tell the truth in community, and why it was terrifying even for someone who teaches this workWhat happens when someone else's child part gets activated mid-conflict, and how to stay in adult without shutting down or cavingWhy doing this work in community is different (and more powerful) than one-on-one therapyThe connection between personal relationality and collective resilience - why the adults in the room matter more than ever right nowResources + Links Ginny’s 'The Lover's Collective'The Lover’s Collective Pop Up & Open House on 3/21/26My previous episode with Ginny, #125: Turning Circle Conflict into Deeper IntimacySubscribe to my newsletter and check out my Substack, How We Come BackMy book, Root and Ritual: Timeless Ways to Connect to Land, Lineage, Community, and the SelfConnect with me on Instagram @beccapiastrelliTimestamps: [0:00] Introduction [7:16] Craving & Moving to a Particular Type of Land [13:10] The Baseline of Emotional Disconnection [18:18] Embracing Otherness and Intimacy of Self [22:14] Child Consciousness and Strategies [31:11] Examples of Child Strategies as an Adult [37:19] Noticing and Including your Strategies [48:01] Breaking the Cycle by Expressing your Truth [56:36] Repatterning to Adult Competency [59:45] Relational Work in Community as Revolution [01:04:43] Consuming Media and Observing Relationality

    Softening into the Pleasure of Midlife with Catherine Zack

    This episode is a conversation with my dear friend Catherine Zack, which we initially recorded for her podcast "The 40 Portal". Catherine is the owner of Village Yoga in Kinderhook, NY, an executive coach, speaker, writer and collector of women’s wisdom. This past summer, on her own 40th birthday - only 2 days apart to my own - she invited a group of close female friends to participate in what she calls The 40 Portal, a book in which everyone of 40 and under was invited to write a question, and everyone of over 40 was invited to share their wisdom. This book turned into the podcast The 40 Portal, on which Catherine invites 40 women to have conversations around their path towards 40, and beyond. In this conversation, Catherine and I discuss midlife and what it brings up for us to move into our 40s. I talk about what this portal means to me, and how I’m experiencing this non-linear space of self discovery. We discuss the liberation that can be found in midlife and a sense of shedding the pressure of the societal gaze. We share about embracing a sense of invisibility, the reclaiming of personal magic, erotic awakenings, re-villaging and being seen by the people we actually want to be seen by.
