I asked my female and non-binary guests the same four questions, and together, we followed the intriguing threads of story and curiosity as they unspooled.
1 - Where are you and whose traditional (Indigenous) territory are you on?
2 - What’s your favourite fairytale/ancient tale?
3 - What’s your relationship with your body like?
4 - And what’s your connection to your creativity?
These potent conversations are created by mixing creativity + the body + fairy tales + conversation with wild abandon.

Customer Reviews
Mythmaking is Medicine
The stories I’ve told myself over the years added up into limiting beliefs. With therapy & artmaking, I’ve chipped away at them over the years. This podcast has been a powerful way to shed yet another layer. Janelle’s thoughtfulness in exploring myth with her guests, so frequently gives me the feeling of a gray world moving to color.
Also, her practice of land acknowledgement is a potent shift in world view.
Lastly, the empowerment in remembering that all of us are worthy of telling our stories- wow. Her work is a BIG idea that that can change everything, with so many practical techniques to get started.
Additionally!! Her body based practice is an incredible way ‘in,’ and I learn something new every time she shares a technique. ❤️
Thank you for sharing these stories!
I love listening to these women share their origin stories, their mythic perspectives, their embodied experience, and their creative journeys. Thanks for making these voices heard!
Janelle is a transformation superstar!
The soul speaks in myth and metaphor and I love Wild Elixir for putting me back in touch with this side of myself. Janelle has a voice made for podcasting and I love her fresh and poetic take on the empowerment journey. What a delight!
