    Magical Awakening

    Britton and Carolee as they share their incredible transformation from sixth-generation Mormons to world-traveling spiritual seekers. After hitting rock bottom with infidelity and betrayal trauma, they discovered that traditional church healing methods weren't working. A single mushroom ceremony changed everything, opening their eyes to the indoctrination they'd never seen before. Their story is one of courage, shadow work, and choosing themselves over cultural programming. They sold everything, traveled the world with their four children, and discovered astrology, manifestation, and ritual moon work. From Utah to Bali to Egypt, their 18-month pilgrimage led them to Colorado where they now help others break free from limiting beliefs. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Self-Relationship, White Supremacy, and the Myth of Perfection

    In this thought-provoking episode of Poison Honey podcast, Christina returns to explore the powerful concept of self-relationship and how it connects to larger systems of oppression. We discuss how being in healthy relationship with ourselves challenges hierarchical structures that demand perfectionism and domination. Christina shares insights about trusting our intuition despite cultural conditioning to override our bodily wisdom, and how white supremacy manifests in our relationships with ourselves and others. We examine how shame cycles prevent authentic healing, the importance of being with imperfection, and why developing self-trust is revolutionary. This conversation weaves together personal healing practices with broader social justice perspectives, revealing how cultivating genuine self-relationship dismantles oppressive systems from the inside out. Whether you're interested in personal growth, social justice, or understanding the connections between individual healing and collective liberation, this episode offers valuable insights.
