Welcome to rekallabrate: the podcast. I’m Kalla, and this is a space where we explore how shifting the way you think can shift the way you live. Through unfiltered solo episodes and raw conversations with guests, I share stories about grief, love, blended family life, government corruption, natural living, and everything in between. The mission is simple: to be real on the internet and spark dialogue through authentic storytelling. This podcast is recorded in one take with minimal (if any) editing—because life is messy, and that’s what makes it beautiful. A quick note: this show was previously called Lightin’ Up. Episodes 1–25 still carry that name, and I’m proud of them. Those conversations—on everything from birth to the music industry to farming—are still some of my favorites, so I’ve kept them here. But starting with episode 26, the podcast is officially rekallabrate: the podcast.

    32 | Grief Tending with Shaelyn

    Send us a text In this episode of Rekallabrate: The Podcast, I sits down with my grief mentor & teacher Shaelyn for a grounded, honest conversation about grief. Through her teachings & her offering of “Elemental Grief”—a seven week grief journey informed by the earth’s elements—Shaelyn has utterly transformed my relationship with my grief.  I was so excited to record this episode with her & it instantly became one of my favorites.  I am confident that you, too, will feel a shift after listening to this episode. We talk about what grief actually looks like, how it lives in the body, & why pretending we’re “fine” helps no one. Shaelyn shares her experience losing both parents at a young age & how that shaped her relationship with grief—not as something to get over, but something to tend.  We talk about grief as a communal experience, the importance of death planning (yes, really), & the role storytelling plays in keeping us connected—to each other & to those we’ve lost. This isn’t a polished, performative grief episode. It’s real talk about death, presence, ancestral wisdom, & what it means to live fully while knowing loss is part of the deal. Grief isn’t the opposite of life—it’s woven into it. If you’ve ever felt isolated in your grief, uncomfortable talking about death, or unsure how to hold loss without trying to fix it, this episode is for you. Be sure to give Shaelyn a follow on the ‘gram so you can stay up to date with her offerings, including the reemergence & restructuring of Grief Temple.  As always, thank you for taking the time to listen. I appreciate the follows, shares, likes, & subscriptions! But most of all, I love to hear how each episode impacts you, your thinking, & your life. ❤️‍🔥 🔻 CONNECT WITH US SHAELYN: Instagram: @shayshaybuttababy KALLA: Instagram: @rekallabrate Youtube: @rekallabrate Website: rekallabrate.com

    31 | My Dad is Dead & Now I Know Grief

    Send us a text In this episode, I cry. This one’s all about my dad, our difficult relationship, his death, & the grief I walk with now. I tell the story of my relationship with my dad—which was extremely difficult & ugly at times—& how we eventually found our way to forgiveness. I talk about the fights we had even after I “forgave” him, the slow way we rebuilt, & what healing actually looked like for us. I get into how ayahuasca helped me see him differently, love him differently, & what I did when I came home from that ceremony. I get into the timeline of events, his last few months, & our last moments together. I’ll tell you where I was when he died & how I handled the news. & then I get into how everything has unfolded, shifted, & changed since his death.  I walk with grief now in a way that I didn’t up until my dad’s passing. It is ever present, yet changing. I get into that, too.  Basically, if you’ve ever wanted to know what it’s like to forgive a parent & then lose them, this episode is for you.  It is my hope that everyone listening feels inspired to forgive a parent, call a parent, anticipate death & grief, or at least feel not so alone in their grief.  I believe that through the power of vulnerable & authentic storytelling, we can change the world. To let ourselves be moved by another’s story is one of the easiest ways to change the world.  Thank you for seeing me, honoring my grief, loving me through it. I am so grateful to have this community of people who love me & care about my journey—the good, the bad, the grievey. 🔻 CONNECT WITH ME Instagram: @rekallabrate Website: rekallabrate.com (merch, herbal products, & more on the way!)

    30 | A Wise Woman's Approach to Herbs & Life with Natalija

    Send us a text Welcome back to rekallabarte: the podcast! I'm so very grateful that you're here. In this episode, I sit down with Natalija—a clinical herbalist with 20+ years of experience, a wise woman, & a dear friend. Her story starts exactly where so many people’s plant journeys begin: desperation. When her daughter had a severe asthma attack, she realized the medical system had limits—& that’s when herbalism cracked open a whole new world. Not instead of medicine, but alongside it. Integrative medicine. Both/and. The way it actually should be. We get into everything from anatomy & physiology (yes, herbalists actually know this stuff) to why social media has become a hotbed of herbal misinformation. We talk symptoms as the body’s messaging system, the importance of food as foundational medicine, & why stress management, breathwork, & mindfulness matter more than the latest “miracle herb” trending online. Natalija reminds us that herbalism isn’t about chasing magic fixes. It’s education, connection, kitchen remedies, tasting your plants, understanding your land, & respecting the earth so we actually still have wild plants in 20 years.  She breaks down how healing is slow, consistent rewiring—not an aesthetic. Not a performance. We also dive into the uncomfortable-but-necessary topics: inherited patterns from our parents, the emotional side of healing, & how personal growth requires telling yourself the truth over & over again.  This episode is grounding, clarifying, & a much-needed antidote to fear-based, algorithm-driven wellness culture. If you've been curious about herbalism, overwhelmed by wellness trends, or craving a simpler, more human way to relate to your health—this conversation is for you. 🔻 CONNECT WITH US Natalija Marie Website: www.natalijamarie.com Instagram: @natalijamarie Offerings / Courses: https://www.natalijamarie.com/classes Kalla / Rekallabrate Website: rekallabrate.com Instagram: @rekallabrate Podcast: Rekallabrate: The Podcast on all platforms Thank you for listening & for being here.

    29 | Started From The Bottom Now She's Here with Jana Kearney

    Send us a text In this episode, I sit down with Jana Kearney—entrepreneur, marketing expert, pole-dancing biohacker, survivor, & someone who has rebuilt her entire life piece by piece. Jana didn’t grow up in an easy environment. She started using drugs young, spent years caught in addiction, & lived through things most people never talk about. And then her brother died by suicide — a loss that forced her to rethink everything she thought she knew about pain, coping, & what actually matters. Instead of letting grief drag her under, Jana slowly rebuilt her life. She got into health, biohacking, discipline, entrepreneurship, & finding a sense of purpose again. Pole dancing became part of her healing — a way to reconnect to her body, feel grounded, & move the grief that words couldn’t touch. We talk about the realities of addiction, the long road of recovery, the physical side of grief, how movement helps you process what the mind can’t, & why community is one of the only things that gets people through the darkest moments. Jana is honest, self-aware, & doesn’t pretend any part of her story was easy — which is exactly why this conversation is so powerful. If you’re navigating grief, rebuilding your life, or trying to make sense of the hard things you’ve lived through, this episode will remind you you’re not alone — & that change is possible, even when it feels impossible. 🔻CONNECT WITH US Find Jana: Instagram: @janakearney Out Work 'Em Digital Instagram: @outworkem.digitial Website: https://outworkemdigital.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@outworkemdigital Link to RanaRise Skool Group (use this link to join & Kalla gets a cut!):  https://www.skool.com/rana-rise/about?ref=d2870662aea243c8a21e5370406d9e1e Find Me: Instagram: @rekallabrate  Website: rekallabrate.com Thanks for listening & showing up for the conversations that actually mean something.

    28 | Herbalism, Motherhood, & Keeping it Simple with Brenna

    Send us a text I sat down with my best friend Brenna for a conversation that reminded me why I go to her with half my life crises. She has this rare mix of plant knowledge, lived experience, & a “keep it simple, don’t overthink it” philosophy that makes herbalism feel doable for actual humans with actual kids & actual lives. Even after all these years of talking almost daily, I still learn something new every single time we talk. Brenna has this way of making herbalism feel accessible & human. She doesn’t gate-keep knowledge or promote professional certifications. Rather, she encourages me (us) to listen to our own inner herbalist & simply see what the plants have to say. She blends deep knowledge with a kind of simplicity that’s almost rebellious in a world obsessed with overcomplicating every wellness practice. We talk about her journey out of the allopathic mindset & into trusting her body, trusting the plants, & trusting the process. We dive into birth stories, ancestral wisdom, what it means to mother from instinct instead of fear, & how healing often looks like slowing down rather than doing more. She shares how she approaches plant medicine in her own home—especially with her kids—and why “keep it simple” is basically her entire philosophy. No theatrics, no aesthetic. Just practicality, intuition, & a sense of calm that I swear could lower your blood pressure through the speakers. If you’re curious about herbalism, motherhood, healing, or just want to listen to two friends talk about life in a way that might shift the way you see the world… this one’s for you. Takeaways Brenna's journey into herbalism began as a response to her own health challenges.The shift from allopathic medicine to herbalism emphasizes a holistic approach to healing.Trusting the body's natural healing process is crucial for personal health.Ancestral wisdom plays a significant role in understanding herbal medicine.Plant medicine is about building relationships with the plants and understanding their effects.Mind, body, and spirit are interconnected in the healing process.Discomfort can be a part of healing, and it's important to sit with it.Supporting children with plant medicine can foster a deeper understanding of health.The balance between control and trust is essential in motherhood and healing.Simplicity in wellness practices can lead to better health outcomes. ❤️‍🔥 CONNECT WITH US: ❤️‍🔥 ✨ Connect with Brenna: Website: www.pachanoiherbalarts.com Instagram: @earthling_bren Herbal Offerings: @pachanoiherbalarts 🖤 Connect with Me: Instagram: @rekallabrate Website: www.rekallabrate.com — merch, blogs, herbal offerings, & all things real & raw.

    27 | Red & Green Flags in Spiritual Marketing with Shannon Huvaere

    Send us a text You know those spiritual influencers who make you cringe a little? The ones selling “abundance” but low-key preying on your insecurities? Yeah… we’re talking about them. In this episode, I sit down with Shannon Huvaere to unpack the red & green flags of spiritual marketing—the subtle manipulation, the fake scarcity, the “buy now or you’ll never heal” energy, and the way some people use sensuality or mysticism to sell you something that probably won’t change your life (but will drain your wallet). We go deep on what to avoid when selling your soul’s work (or buying someone else’s), & what to do instead—like being transparent, grounded, upfront, & in integrity. Whether you’re a spiritual business owner or just someone who’s tired of being spiritually sold to, this conversation will help you spot the BS from a mile away. 🎁 Free Resource: Red & Green Flags in Spiritual Marketing: Download here ✨ Connect with Shannon: Website: www.thesistersvillage.com Instagram: @shineon.shannon Community: @sistarsrising — stay up to date on women’s circles & offerings for women in all stages of life: maidens, mothers, & crones. 🖤 Connect with Me: Instagram: @rekallabrate Website: www.rekallabrate.com — merch, blogs, herbal offerings, & all things real & raw.

    26 | rekallabrate: the podcast

    Send us a text I’ve been on a long-ass hiatus, but I’m back—with a REBRAND. Formerly known as the Lightin’ Up Podcast, it’s now rekallabrate: the podcast. I made the switch for simplicity & coherence across everything I do. My name is Kalla—hence reKALLAbrate—and my mission is to be a real human on the internet, sparking dialogue & thought through compelling (and sometimes controversial) posts, conversations, t-shirts, & stickers. It’s been almost 4 years since I last released an episode, and a lot has happened. I fell in love, moved to Colorado from my beloved Arizona, became a stepmom, lost my dad… and so, so, so much more. I’ll be sharing pieces of that journey as I get back into the swing of things. Full disclosure: I recorded this episode awhile ago, so things have already shifted since then. But in this season of life I’m learning that done is better than perfect—so here it is. I’m thrilled to be back creating & sharing with you. I’ve got some incredible guests lined up & thought-provoking episodes already in the queue. So click that subscribe button, drop a 5-star review, and let’s dive in.

    Send us a text What’s up, fam! Episode 25 of the Lightin’ Up Podcast is now LIVE!    Today I am joined by one of my very best friends & sisters, Brenna @earthling_bren who is an herbalist & former vegan turned intuitive eater.    Brenna & I discuss her journey from being vegan for years to shifting to incorporating more animals into her nourishment. We discuss the first time she prepared & ate an animal, what she considers in her decision to consume animals, intuitive eating, reverence for the animals, & so much more.    We talk a lot about the plants, too! As an herbalist, earth witch, & medicine woman, Brenna has a strong connection with the plants. We talk about what that looks like for her, & how you can start to develop your own relationship with the plants.    I have learned so much from Brenna on my own plant & nourishment journey, so I KNOW you all are going to take something from this episode! I am really excited to shine light on this beautiful human & all of the profound work she is doing on this planet.    I know that this episode might be triggering for some people. Like, you know, vegans. But we want you to know that we recognize everyone’s constitution is different—what nourishes you, might not nourish me, & vice versa! We hold space for all expressions.    Thank you so much, Brenna, for being willing to open up about your journey! I know how vulnerable it is to be seen, but your expression is so valued in the world! Thank you for sharing your truth with us.    With that all being said, let’s grab a candle, sage, palo santo, sweet grass, incense, or sacred smoke, & let's LIGHTIN' UP TOGETHER! 🕯    As always, take what feels good & if it don't apply, LET IT FLY.    Please note that this podcast is for entertainment purposes only, and nothing in this episode (or any other episode) should be taken as medical, legal, or other professional advice.
