    85. Blooming into Forest Therapy, with Heather Dorfman

    In 2022, Heather left her job as a Program Manager at a non-profit and began a journey to disentangle herself from the deeply embedded norms of living in a capitalist society. From reclaiming her own ancestral wisdom to reconnecting with the More Than Human world in a profound way, Heather’s path has led her to Forest Therapy and to a different way of relating to herself and to work.

    84. Life In the During, with Janet King

    84. Life In the During, with Janet King

    It’s the late Winter, and many of us are being asked to surrender to the magic underfoot: the Spring that is not yet here but is underway. In this interview with Janet King, we explore her experience of being “in the during,” and how she’s navigating a deep personal and vocational Winter.

    About Janet:
    Janet is a creator, strategist, and writer. She's on a mission to build a kinder, more meaningfully connected world, where our communities are the best collective reflections of our individual gifts. She lives with her husband and daughter in Alabama, and she is currently on sabbatical as she "winters" between a career in strategy consulting and whatever wants to be created through her next.

    82. Living and Working with Ritual, with Meghan Bursiek

    82. Living and Working with Ritual, with Meghan Bursiek

    In the mid Winter period, we can begin to sense that new life is afoot, even if we can’t see it yet. In this conversation with Ritual Witch Meghan Bursiek, we talk about the power of ritual, how she’s integrated the lunar cycle into her life and work, and how to sync up with the metaphorical and literal medicine of seeds at this time in the cycle of the year.

    About Meghan Bursiek:
    Meghan is a Ritual Witch, and intentional systems and containers are her magick. In addition to identifying as a Ritual Witch, she is also a ritual coach, facilitator, collaborator, educator, and mentor, as well as a potter, steward, householder, dancer, and storyteller. She supports people with integrating ritual into life, work, and personal practice without it becoming just another thing on the to-do list.

    The Winter Solstice is a time each year when we can reconnect to the sources of our vitality and remember what it is to be alive in these wild times.

Invaluable

Megan provides a rare and much needed alternative to the hustle culture of work. Practical insights on how to integrate nature, natural cycles, and your own values make this is a must-listen podcast for anyone interested in developing a more grounded, thoughtful, and intuitive approach to their work – and life. Overall, Megan’s wisdom runs deep and nudges you to turn up the volume on your own internal signals. I feel lucky to have stumbled on this invaluable resource!

Fresh Source of Wisdom

I don’t know how I haven’t already reviewed Megan’s podcast. I’ve shared it with so many friends who’ve replied with things like, “Yes! This! I’ve already made it through three episodes and you just told me about it at lunch. This is my new favorite podcast.” Her fresh and unique perspective on career development that incorporates wisdom from places I hadn’t thought to look has been so valuable to me personally and professionally. While her content and suggestions reflect the season, past episodes still have lots of relevant info regardless of their release date.
