Feed Your Wild | Food For Your Ancient Body, Mind & Soul

Willow Anaïs is an herbalist, small business owner, Head Witch of Elder Apothecary and mama of 2 boys. She is a Filipino-American woman that grew up on the island of Guam, an experience that informs much of the way she is today and colors our conversation about belonging. We explore what it means to belong to the living world and Willow’s perspective on rewilding and practices of connection. Willow shares her experience of reckoning with her own sense of belonging as a woman of color in a mostly white town and realizing how she has bypassed her own tenderness and needs. Willow gets transparent about navigating a chronic inflammatory immune condition and the healing power of nature, flower essences, strawberries, play + pleasure, and naked gardening! Willow shares how she moves with deep love for her place of belonging to the living world, and with reverence for the unfolding awakening that is being a steward of it. There are so many amazing takeaways from this episode– we can’t wait for you to dive in!   Find

It’s getting fiery up in here! Tune in to this moon musing about our Aries Full Moon and cosmic influences. In this rich exploration of the cosmic happenings over October, I cover the major shifts in energy and how we may start to see how the endings we’re experiencing are guiding us in a new direction. We cover the beneficent Arcturus gateway, Venus’ shift into an evening star, Saturn’s influence as it goes direct and how sliding into watery Scorpio season will draw our energy inward and make us curious about the root of our thought patterns and habits.  This full moon not only brings up volatile and heated vibes, but with it some deep and needed healing, in connection with Chiron - our wounded healer ally in the sky. This full moon also launches us into eclipse season, continuing this theme of soul evolution and transformation. As challenging as this lunation might be, there is the healing magic of surrender… We also touch on the body parts connected to Aries and how to support common symptoms like headache

We have Asia Suler back on the podcast! I LOVE Asia’s new book, Mirrors in the Earth, truly a “nature therapy session for the soul.” In our chat, we talk about Asia’s birthing process - both her baby, Iona, AND her book, in the same season. We journey into her book and the many lessons as they apply to her own life. We touch on boundaries, time expansion, and the potency of “smallness” and reframing around bigness vs smallness. We cover the medicine of flower essences, the first wild blooms, the gift of marcescence, and what freedom means to Asia. Asia gives us a beautiful exercise for discerning what really is our true “size,” as well as a look into her private rituals and practices, and flower essences she’s currently working with (and recommendations for others). We talk about cultivating one’s Voice, Asia’s experience with her own voice as a creator, and what practices have been most supportive for her in this new “mother” season of life. Asia is brilliant at illuminating the tangible, expansive, and tran

Take a cleansing deep breath and tune in to this moon musing about our Libra New Moon and cosmic influences. As we journey into fall and Libra season, we’re reminded to maintain a balanced perspective and to clear our home on all levels - body, mind, and field to create space during this transitional time. I cover influences from energizing Mars and Mercury, the planet of communication and the mind which stationed retrograde, as well as many other planets retrograde, giving us an opportunity to pause and review the past year. We also touch on the body parts connected to Libra and Venus, the importance of relationship tending, and moving forward with a filled cup, clear field, and open heart. As we roll into a new season, a Libra New Moon also brings peacemaking energy that helps to ease any transition, no matter the magnitude.  We receive deeper insights from a tarot card pull and a mini Akashic new moon channeling, bringing us full circle like the breaths of life. From our Akashic Guides: “Allow this movemen

We have Ashley Burnett back on the podcast! Ashley is a dear soul sister, colleague and mentor of mine and this makes her 4th appearance. These conversations keep getting better - I can honestly say this one is my favorite one with Ashley yet! Whether or not you have your own business, there’s so much in this convo that is about going against the grain and how to sustain one Self in doing so.  We are busting the biz myths, untruths, and toxic paradigms as Ashley walks us through empowering business beliefs and practices. We dive deep into what business can look like when it’s not “business as usual,” how to start stepping outside of limiting containers and step into more expansive ways of being and operating in business - whether within your own or within a company, organization etc. Ashley shares how can we do so in a way that’s life-affirming, regenerative, and expansives versus contractive and limiting.  I share about my own journey and evolution in business and as an intuitive healer and entrepreneur. You

We are speaking with my dear friend Megan Liebmann! For OG Feed Your Wild podcast listeners, you’ll remember Megan from our original moon musings and today you’ll hear Megan’s personal story and wisdom. In this conversation, we cover the difference between “fast food medicine” and what Megan calls “Slow Medicine,” and why Megan sees herself as an “environmental remediator.” She talks about the critical need for clearing channels and setting up a life that invites healing -- and why she thinks we've been going about health all wrong! You’ll hear about Megan’s incredible story, her experiences of childhood trauma, and how she got into the world of functional nutrition, herbalism, and holistic healing by working with mentors including Andrea Nakayama and Aviva Romm. She tells us how she finally got over imposter syndrome, why “slow medicine” became a matter of life or death for her and how she assists clients to connect with, trust and absorb their own medicine, body, and wisdom. Megan shares the lessons she rec

We have double the moon musings for you in this episode, covering a mini post-Virgo New Moon reflection and a current musing on this Pisces Harvest Full Moon.  After my family journeyed with an intense bout with Covid, I’m finally able to share the messages and potent Akashic channeling that came through for the new moon, now realizing the message was meant to be a bridge between lunations, previewing influences of the watery energetics Pisces has to offer us. From planting seeds in the grounded earthy energy of Virgo to harvesting nourishment within the vast emotional ocean of Pisces, we are also reminded of our ability to catch and release that which doesn't serve us. We’re invited to re-member the gift of sovereignty given to us by Virgo’s Virgin Goddess, and take this wholeness and Self-resourcefulness into the watery depths of our Piscean intuitive understandings and dreamscape. I cover influences from fiery and innervating Mars and Mercury, the planet of communication and the mind which stationed retrog

We have an Aquarius Full Supermoon musing for you on the Feed Your Wild podcast and a short impromptu Akashic channeling to round things up. As the final full supermoon of the year, today’s full super moon can feel like a completion of a phase or chapter. Every ending is also a beginning… This moon has us considering how we might want to move in togetherness as a collective.  I cover influences from Saturn (Lord of Karma) and the Uranus North Node conjunction (ignition point), how to utilize this energy and cosmic support for healing and transmuting the wounds of our shared experiences and raising our collective destiny. This is a period of accelerated growth, i.e. quantum jumps here! But with these leaps, we will see the falling away of old systems and stories. This lunation makes it even clearer that control is an illusion - it always was. Aquarius is all about shifting the narrative through grassroots movement and community creation is a key component.  We touch on the bodily connections of Aquarius and he

Join me on another nature walk as we explore this potent Lion’s Gate portal on the Feed Your Wild podcast with an impromptu Akashic channeling. Literally woken up by this Akashic channeling from our Guides, I had to get outside and deliver this auspicious message along with musings on this powerful portal.  I cover what the Lion’s Gate is, the significance of our “spiritual Sun” Sirius and how this week’s energy supports our personal and collective evolution. We touch on ways of communing with the compassionate leader within you, and Leo’s connection to the Strength card in tarot. Our body (on all levels) is a microcosm of our external experience including the world & greater cosmos. Going through the Lion’s Gate is to awaken your powers of transformation, fully embodying your gifts & purpose with confidence. It’s prime time for you to burn away what’s keeping you back from shining your light so you have the vitality, knowing, confidence, and will to bring your gifts forward out into the world.   From

We’re going on a trip down memory lane as I recount my personal experience journeying into healing work over the past 12+ years. I know that the term “healer” can ruffle some feathers, so I breakdown how I’ve come to understand it, and describe 4 common phases I’ve identified in becoming an intuitive healing artist. I share some of my biggest roadblocks and challenges starting out as a stuck, lost empath, and how I navigated them. I also describe what I needed to ultimately create a holistic healing practice that is soul-aligned and Divinely-led. It’s my hope that there are some supportive insights in our shared experiences, and that you don’t feel so alone in your journey - whether you’re just starting out or a seasoned practitioner!   Applications are open for The Wildly Intuitive Practitioner Pathway: A 6 month group mentorship and practitioner mastermind for healers and helpers who are ready to step out of the spiritual closet, expand their intuitive gifts, and go from struggling empath/conventional pract

Feeling the heat with today’s Leo New Moon musing on the Feed Your Wild podcast along with a mini Akashic channeling. Today’s new moon is the “big hair, don’t care” freshness we’ve been needing! I cover influences from Uranus North Node conjunction (raising our collective destiny) + Jupiter (expansive) on Leo’s heart medicine making this moon all about heartfelt self-expression, inner confidence, abundance, joy, creativity and expansive growth. Where is your current life path and dance taking you? This moon wants us to BE our fullest selves, stepping into compassionate leadership of our lives, soul-led, heart-forward. It’s time to stop playing small and hiding, this new moon invites us to say yes to our bigness, our gifts, and our audacious visions. We also highlight some plant allies and tarot archetypes that connect with Leo and the heart. An auspicious time to step out of whatever closet you’re in and into the light to share your gifts with the world, unapologetically. From our Akashic Guides: “Revolution

We’re on another “walkie talkie moon walk” connecting into today’s Capricorn Full Super Moon musing and have a short impromptu Akashic channeling for you. Today’s full super moon may feel heavy handed alongside Pluto’s potent influence but Capricorn’s resilience as the seagoat will have us traversing big mountains, seas, and conversations with resilience and skill, if we tune into our bones. I cover influences from Pluto (heavy, transformative) and Mercury (communication), how to utilize this energy and cosmic support for releasing and confronting in the most aligned and healing way. I share a Capricornian physical challenge I’m dealing with on a personal level and how I'm navigating it. We also connect with the tarot archetypes that represent Capricorn and how to work with them this week and beyond. A beautiful time to re-story the dis-ease and re-store the medicine carried in your bones. From our Akashic Guides: “Let your song be sung from the depths of your bones… for it is a song unsung that is the greate

I also share a tarot card pull that illuminates continued themes of judgment and awakenings.  From our Akashic Guides: “The waves are tumultuous indeed… The salty waters flowing with a fierceness that only deep sea sailors know and fear. The turbulent water elementals are here to cleanse and clear your murkiness, for clarity and renewal… Peace amidst a storm, you ask?” Tune in for more. Themes include: New moon invitations, Black Moon Lilith, emotional waves, intuition vs illusion, Roe vs

Join me on a “walkie talkie” in this experimental episode covering today’s Sagittarius Full Super Moon! In this less polished, more raw channeling type of conversation, we’re taking a nature walk together and chatting about this beautiful super moon + Sagittarius energy alongside Neptune’s foggy influence and invitation for us to connect more deeply with our intuition and Truth.  I also share personal musings on what I’ve been channeling lately and a message for the healers out there.  Themes include: Galactic Center, what is “healer”, healer’s heart work, intuitive exercises, & fox medicine.  I include some intuitive practice suggestions for a full moon ritual as well as a call to action for the healers to connect with their Truth.  *****   STAY CONNECTED SUBSCRIBE :: Sign up for newsletter to receive updates on upcoming programs and events   SUPPORT THE PODCAST Your support means the world...

We are celebrating this Mother’s Day by channeling Divine Mama energy with Empress Karen M. Rose! Trained in Eastern and Western Herbal Medicine, Karen M. Rose created an outlet for her teachings and healing modalities with the opening of Brooklyn-based Sacred Vibes Healing and Sacred Vibes Apothecary in 2002.  Her inspiration for this work began as a child in her native home of Guyana, where she was exposed to how African, Caribbean and Latin American traditions profoundly influenced plant medicine and community healing. The legacy of these lands is the foundation of Karen’s spiritual and healing practice. In this conversation, we cover her book The Art & Practice of Spiritual Herbalism, Karen’s history growing up in relationship with plants where there was no separation of Spirit, and how she weaves that into her work today.  We talk about Mal de Ojo, or the evil eye, and the importance of energetic and spiritual protection for babies, as well as related physical symptoms, such as colic.  Karen shares s
