51. From solo to SUPPORTED: 3 crucial steps to dispel loneliness and receive all the help you need
The "solopreneur" is a MYTH, and one that creates a false sense of importance, independence and sadly, loneliness. But we are not lone wolves, and we could not do it alone if we wanted to!
Today's episode of The Sage & The Song examines the issue of loneliness and entrepreneurship, and looks through 3 facets of insight to arrive at a more holistic and relieving reality of what it looks like to put down the "solo" torch, start asking for help, and then receive support with grace and gratitude.

50. Courting Lakshmi: calling forth prosperity through mantra, intention and divine allyship
Lakshmi is a Hindu goddess who represents the deity realm of beauty and abundance— a powerful and benevolent force of nature to court if you're calling forth greater prosperity!
Today's episode of The Sage & The Song is a deep dive not only on Lakshmi and some of what she represents, but also on the power of mantra and invocation as an avenue for receiving support on the human journey. And let's be honest... we need all the help we can get.

49. The insatiable hunger for ENOUGH: contemplating the hungry ghost, scarcity and money
"When we engage in the material world without the experience of the sacred, we are simply in repetitive cycles of pleasure and pain."
Today's episode of The Sage & The Song is a deep dive on the meaning of enough, and an inquiry into the ravenous nature of humans to always obtain and consume more. We explore the archetype of the Hungry Ghost, examining the implications of this insatiable hunger in relation not only to money, but to how we experience life.
Stick with me! Though this sounds like a pessimistic and cynical perspective, I'll bring you through with light-heartedness and hopefully some helpful perspective shifts.

47. Don't serve your broke-ass thoughts any tea (and other Buddhist contemplations)
Buddhist philosophy and mythology serve up some helpful metaphors in the form of whether or not to "serve tea" to our thoughts, stories, and narratives.
In today's episode of The Sage & The Song we explore a specific contemplation on money, and use one such tea metaphor to examine how we get caught in cycles of scarcity thinking, and how to break free. I also included a story of the Buddha and Mara, another wonderfully helpful tea analogy.

Customer Reviews
Super supportive and joyful
I love these podcasts and all of Britta’s offerings. She is the real deal. Joyous, generous, practical, playful and completely collaborative and invitational.
The spring equinox podcast is lush with nourishing application for living a full hearted life.
Start your journey to peace and personal enlightenment!
These podcasts are enlightening, affirming and eye opening…
Literally- I find myself driving, listening…. Then literally clapping, snapping my fingers back and forth as in “Yes …GIRL YES!” … I catch myself grabbing my heart in compassion and alignment with the messages and knowledge!
As a student of Britta’s coaching and courses, I have turned my business around financially (10 x my income in less than a year!) …and even more importantly taken back my time, piece of mind and PRICELESS time with my two little girls…
I’ve even made HUGE personal shifts that have aligned myself with being proud, contented and feeling like when I look back on my life when I’m 80 or 90 years old - I know I will be glad I did the deep interpersonal work to remind myself of what is REALLY IMPORTANT in life!
Don’t wait! Click now and start your journey to peace and personal enlightenment with the Sage and the song.
