    #74: Stopping sharing my life online & going into a cocoon

    #74: Stopping sharing my life online & going into a cocoon

    For the past decade I have been sharing my life online. All of my thoughts, my processes, my opinions. My entire journey, my travels, my successes and creations and missteps.
    This was fueled mostly by my need to express. To be all of me in the world. To say the things that people shied away from saying.
    There have been many times I have taken a break from social media. Either because it was deleted and taken away from me, or because I needed to feel myself without it, for a little while.
    But there is this feeling that has been coming up for me lately, getting louder and louder and more.. pressing.
    And it doesn't have anything to do with social media, not specifically.
    I always felt like no matter what happened, I would continue sharing myself. In the same way I had always done.
    And... I don't want to anymore.
    This episode is a deeper explanation of that to wrap up Season 1.

    #73: 2 years "all in" & what I could have done differently on my food journey

    #73: 2 years "all in" & what I could have done differently on my food journey

    In March 2021, I began what I termed my "food journey," a journey of eating more food and seeing what happened. In June of that year, I went "all in," to heal an eating disorder I realized I had. During this process, I gained 115 lbs, my weight plauteaued for about 9 months, and then I started losing weight, having now lost 50 lbs. I have documented my journey the whole way through, and in this 2 year episode, I share what I wish I did differently and the things I know now that I didn't know then.

    #72: Everything I am doing for pre-conception time, preparing to get pregnant, who I am working with and what we're thinking about, & the story of traveling back from our trip

    #72: Everything I am doing for pre-conception time, preparing to get pregnant, who I am working with and what we're thinking about, & the story of traveling back from our trip

    As I prepare to get pregnant (hopefully this year) I've been thinking about this time of "pre-conception" that isn't talked about too much, and what it means to intentionally get pregnant in a world that doesn't treat it as sacred as much anymore. I talk about everyone I'm working with and what I'm doing - nutrition, movement, house stuff, clothing, emotional processing, & more.

    #71: Going to the trampoline park, the differences between Canada and America, our trip to the States, & Jordan’s Ford Truck impression

    Jordan and I share about our trip to see my family in the States, how we went to the trampoline park, our competitiveness and funny stories of what happened there, the differences between Canada and America that we both notice and how we relate to being in each country, and how our trip is going.

    #70: Ovulating for the first time in over a year, healing my body, eating while traveling, what I packed for the plane, & resiliency to stress

    #70: Ovulating for the first time in over a year, healing my body, eating while traveling, what I packed for the plane, & resiliency to stress

    A little check-in from my car while we are traveling! I’m here with my Mom in South Carolina, and I got my actual period for the first time in almost a year and a half (after bleeding for all that time without cycling). I talk about ovulating for the first time, painful periods, not being afraid of messing up our health, getting ready to have a baby, relationships with family and healing meaning that we don’t get activated, what we packed to eat on the plane, my attitude when having to eat out a bunch and not feeling as great… just a ton of random little updates!

    #69: Letting the Earth hold you, receiving from nature, & stories from my life

    #69: Letting the Earth hold you, receiving from nature, & stories from my life

    Since I was a little girl I have felt a deep connection to the Earth around me, one where I would let the rocks and the trees hold me when I felt sad and was able to communicate with them. I believe we all have this ability, it is our birthright on Earth, and when we soften and open to receiving from the land around us we can be so nourished and trust life so much more deeply. I tell some stories from my life, of moments when I have felt the Earth hold me and why this has been so deeply important.

One of my favorites! Rawness & authenticity.

I really enjoy the rawness & authenticity of Demetra’s podcast. It is intentionally “unpolished” and I mean that as a compliment. :) I love hearing her slurp her tea at times. It feels like I’m hosting a friend in my home. I also love the range of topics, but how they are all about LIFE as seen thru the lens of Demetra’s life experiences. In a world where most everyone is trying to prove “YOLO” and that they are “living their best life,” Demetra keeps it real and it draws me in more than any sort of fancy marketing gimmicks or the latest social media trend. There is no comparison to authenticity. 💜

Beautiful raw expression and conversation

I love listening to Demetra’s podcast! It’s always such an organic sharing of life. Being human is so fascinating to me and this is such a great place to hear/witness someone’s journey. She has such powerful way of following the truth and challenging norms. Thanks so much beautiful soul for sharing with us ❤️

Thanks for sharing even when people are dicks

I enjoy listening to someone so different from myself living their best life unapologetically. I am always inspired to see a new perspective.
