    The In-Between Space: Transitions, Discernment & Energy Update

    This episode of "Triggers and Spiritual Medicine" featured Laura Bonetzky-Gaffney discussing the current collective transition and energy update for mid-year.  Laura Bonetzky-Gaffney addressed feelings of exhaustion, uncertainty, and nervous system fatigue many people are experiencing, describing a sense of being "suspended between old identities and emergence of new self." She emphasized that the discomfort of transition often feels messy rather than mystical due to attempts to control outcomes and lack of community support systems.  Laura Bonetzky-Gaffney shared insights about the importance of discernment, slowing down, and sitting with uncertainty rather than rushing to find answers. She outlined key themes for June and July, including endings, elder transitions, and the need for authentic community and genuine connection.  The episode concluded with practical tools for self-care and reflection questions to help listeners navigate the current transitional period. https://youtu.be/OMhpCHmAdYA?si=_XwS7quAcjnt4U-W https://triggersandspiritualmedicine.buzzsprout.com/ ✔️ Subscribe  ✔️ Share  ✔️ Engage ✔️ Support ABOUT TRIGGERS & SPIRITUAL MEDICINE PODCAST: Real talk.

  2. Because You’re a Man, This Is Your Moment: Actionable Steps You Can Take Today

    Because You’re a Man, This Is Your Moment: Actionable Steps You Can Take Today

    In this episode of Triggers and Spiritual Medicine, host Laura Bonetzky-Gaffney and guest Ukumbwa Sauti come together for a grounded and honest conversation about rape culture, accountability, and the role men can play in creating real change. This episode invites listeners into a deeper understanding of how harm shows up in everyday life not just in extreme cases, but in language, silence, dismissal, and the normalization of harm toward women and girls. Rather than staying at the level of awareness alone, Laura and Ukumbwa focus on what comes next: ACTION. Together they explore practical, real-world steps men, parents, and women can take today such as believing survivors, interrupting harmful behavior in the moment, supporting organizations that serve survivors, engaging with policy and legislation, and actively unlearning patterns rooted in patriarchy. The conversation also highlights the importance of raising the next generation differently.  That means teaching consent EARLY, modeling emotional responsibility, and challenging harmful ideas about masculinity in homes, schools, and communities. At its core, this episode is a call to responsibility without shame, and action without delay.

  3. Accessing the Inner Wise Woman

    Apr 6

    Accessing the Inner Wise Woman

    In this episode of Triggers in Spiritual Medicine, host Laura Bonetzky-Gaffney explores the powerful theme of Remembering the Inner Wise Woman. Across generations, the intuitive wisdom and leadership of women has often been silenced, persecuted, or erased through systems of control and historical trauma. From the persecution of healers during the European witch hunts, to institutions like the Magdalene Laundries in Ireland, to the suppression of Indigenous spiritual traditions through European colonization of the Americas, the echoes of these events still live in our collective and ancestral memory. In this deeply reflective episode, Laura invites listeners to explore how these histories have shaped the way many women relate to their intuition, voice, and spiritual authority today. Through guided questions and storytelling, she encourages listeners to reconnect with the ancient wisdom carried within their bodies, lineage, and lived experiences. Listeners are invited to explore three ways to reconnect with the Inner Wise Woman: • Listening to the wisdom of the body • Reconnecting with ancestral knowledge and lineage • Creating space for silence, stillness, and deep inner listening The episode also includes a guided drum meditation designed to help listeners quiet the thinking mind and connect with the deeper voice of the Inner Wise Woman within. Laura concludes with an invitation for those who feel called to continue this exploration in community. She will be presenting further on this topic at the Inspired Life! Women’s Weekend of Love, Light & Laughter in Quincy on April 11–12, where participants will have an opportunity to go deeper into the work of reclaiming feminine wisdom, spiritual sovereignty, and ancestral remembering. This episode is an invitation to reflect on a powerful question: What if the wisdom you have been searching for has been within you—and within your ancestral line—all along?

  4. Making Your Life A Living Prayer

    Mar 2

    Making Your Life A Living Prayer

    What does it mean to make your life a living prayer? In this deeply layered conversation, Laura welcomes Rosanne Romiglio-Ashley, author, artist, and spiritual teacher who writes under the ancestral name of her great great grandmother, Marie Dion. Together they explore what it means to walk between worlds with integrity, to bridge the seen and unseen, and to reclaim the wisdom of lineage without appropriation. Rosanne shares her journey of reconnecting with her Indigenous heritage, being called by her ancestors, and honoring her family’s survival story. She speaks openly about ancestral guidance, the responsibility that comes with spiritual gifts, and the ripple effect of healing across generations. The conversation weaves through prayer as gratitude rather than petition, cultural conditioning around spirituality, and the courage required to live in alignment with spirit. Rosanne recounts the ten year journey of returning a sacred pipe to its rightful home in the Black Hills, an experience that became the foundation of her book What’s Sacred. Laura and Rosanne also discuss alternative healing paths, overcoming trauma, navigating triggers, and the importance of reconnecting with one’s own cultural roots rather than appropriating another’s traditions. They explore the concept of life review, personal accountability, and how everyday choices shape both personal and collective healing. This episode is a call back to simplicity. Journaling by hand. Practicing gratitude. Listening for ancestral whispers. Living with integrity. Because meaningful spiritual growth does not come from grand gestures. It comes from consistent, courageous presence. Rosanne will be sharing more of her teachings at Healing with Spirit Studio in Hingham on March 28th, including insights from What’s Sacred and Make Your Life a Living Prayer. This is a conversation about remembrance. About responsibility. About reconciliation. About love. And about making your life the prayer itself. ABOUT TRIGGERS & SPIRITUAL MEDICINE PODCAST: Real talk.

  5. Digging For Mother's Bones

    Feb 3

    Digging For Mother's Bones

    In this February episode of Triggers in Spiritual Medicine, Laura is joined by mystic, author, and embodied truth teller Coco Oya for a conversation that moves far beyond surface level spirituality and into the bones of real healing. Together, Laura and Coco Oya explore what happens when women’s circles stop bypassing discomfort and begin addressing the deeper ancestral, racial, maternal, and embodied wounds that live in the body. Drawing from Coco Oya’s powerful book Digging for Mother’s Bones, the conversation invites listeners to reconnect with the wisdom of the body, the womb, and the feminine creative force that has been suppressed, misunderstood, or diluted into “love and light” spirituality. Coco Oya shares her journey from being a self described non feeler to fully embodying feminine power after a near death experience, and how that initiation revealed the collective mother wound that so many carry, often unconsciously. Laura and Coco Oya speak candidly about what it means to move from a mindset of being broken or needing to be fixed into remembering our inherent wholeness. This episode weaves together embodiment, ancestral healing, racial truth telling, and the necessity of moving beyond band aid approaches to healing. They reflect on the discomfort that arises when spiritual spaces avoid hard conversations, and why true sisterhood requires honesty, accountability, and a willingness to feel what lives in the body rather than label or bypass it. They also explore the balance between feminine and masculine energies, with women as alchemizers of energy and men as guardians of land and life, and how both are needed to restore harmony. The conversation touches on current global turbulence, bodily symptoms during times of rapid energetic change, and why trusting the body’s intelligence is essential as humanity moves through this pivotal threshold. As always, this episode offers reflection, truth, and practical spiritual medicine, inviting listeners to turn triggers into transformation and remember the wisdom they already carry. Links to Coco Oya’s book Digging for Mother’s Bones and her upcoming women’s gathering and meditation space are included in the show notes. ABOUT TRIGGERS & SPIRITUAL MEDICINE PODCAST: Real talk.

  6. The 2026 Web We Are Weaving

    Jan 13

    The 2026 Web We Are Weaving

    In this episode of Triggers in Spiritual Medicine, Laura reflects on the 12 Omen Days observed at the threshold between years and what they reveal about the energetic, relational, and collective themes unfolding in 2026. Rather than predictions or bypassing, this episode offers a grounded, embodied reading of the signs, symbols, encounters, and disruptions that appeared day by day. From animal messengers and meaningful human interactions to silence, proximity, disenchantment, and quiet completion, these Omen Days revealed a pattern not of urgency, but of discernment. This is a year that does not ask us to push, chase, or perform our way forward. It asks us to listen, to notice what approaches organically, and to recognize what has quietly withered and completed its cycle. Laura weaves together lived experience, ancestral patterning, nervous system wisdom, and spiritual sobriety to explore what kind of web we are actively creating through our choices, relationships, boundaries, and presence. This episode is an invitation to slow down, release illusion, and consciously participate in what you are weaving — personally, collectively, and ancestrally — as we move through 2026. In This Episode, We Explore: The meaning of the 12 Omen Days and how they map the months aheadPatterns of proximity, timing, and trustWhy stillness preceded movementThe role of discernment over expansionWhat completes quietly versus what demands attentionHow to live 2026 without forcing clarity or bypassing complexity ABOUT TRIGGERS & SPIRITUAL MEDICINE PODCAST: Real talk.
