This is a powerful conversation on processing grief, love, and making space for these huge experiences in a world that has long since abandoned the communal rituals that used to contain them. Life does leave it’s mark on us, The Orange Notebooks beautifully describes this and leaves us battered but better for it.

    Accessible Alchemy with Professional Witch, Sarah Potter

    You can now view the video version of Busy Body on Patreon! Support us HERE for as little as $5/mo! I first heard Sarah Potter as a guest on the podcast Scared All the Time, the absolutely only time you'll catch me listening to two white men talking! I was struck by how easily and accessibly she discussed all manner of what is typically described as 'woo woo'. As someone who believes in what we can’t see as much as what we can, I reached out to have her on Busy Body to discuss the aspects of our lives that are the least explainable. This was a really fun episode (that ends with a live tarot reading!) and Sarah Potter is a true light. Her book, Sober Magic, is out now and she's also doing lots of live events in the NYC area. Don't miss her! Connect with Sarah Potter here and book readings with her here Subscribe to her weekly tarotscopes here Every episode and essay takes hours of effort. Knowing you’re out there reading and listening makes it all feel worth it! Please ‘like’ share comment or review! Doing this helps these platforms promote my work and also lets me know real live people are actually listening!   Music by Rob Byrne, performed by the Wild Yaks.

    Patience Becomes Trust

    So pleased to have Coach Rachel on again to talk about running, the patience it takes to create a consistent running practice and the difference between being obsessed with metrics versus learning to trust our own bodies and journey. Very much the ethos of our Coaching Program, Virtual Run Club - now on Early Bird Sale till Oct 6th - We start Running October 13th! Trusting our body comes with time and experience. In this episode we hear about the ten year journey that took Rachel from someone intimidated by marathons to logging so many she’s lost count. We share insights and some pretty astounding experiences from our recent running adventures. Rachel just came in 2nd overall and 1st in her age group (in her early 40’s 🔥) in her longest yet Ultra Race and I just came back from 5 days hiking and running the French Alps with the Wilder Running Retreat. Pretty epic! And pretty exhausting (for me at least)! Spoiler alert age is not a barrier in stamina sports! I hope you’ll find this conversation as inspiring as I did! (I definitely went running right after recording - pretty irresistible after hearing Rachel’s journey!) If you are not already a paid subscriber please consider it! These episodes cost $ to produce and A LOT of time to create. In addition the essays I write usually take me up to 2 weeks to write, edit etc… that’s a lot of work and I believe people should be paid for their work ( especially women 🔥) a monthly subscription is only $7 and it means so much to have your support. Thank you ❤️ Virtual Run Club is an inclusive running club, all levels and abilities are welcome. If you’re looking for support, structure, and help with consistency, this group is for you! Virtual Run Club is on Early Bird sale NOW - full info HERE Enjoy a few reader favorites here: Eat All The Cookies 7 Decades of Self Denial Is it Anti-Feminist to Want to Lose Weight?
