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

Welcome to our final Akashic message (and podcast episode) for the year! This episode is an Akashic Soul Nourishment reading for December 2021, an intuitively channeled message from the Akashic Records for the month. Our Guides share with us the often unrecognizable paradoxical nature of freedom, the value of contrast in life experiences for creating magnetism, and what true freedom requires of you. We are given supportive self-reflective prompts to engage us in the necessary process of self-liberation. We end with a mini-moon musing about this upcoming New Moon in Sagittarius total solar eclipse and cosmic influences upon our personal and collective experience. An excerpt from our channeled message: “There are no paved roads in the unruly aliveness, and that’s the point. The way you move as a ‘free’ being is through your own volition and engaging your senses, your intuition, as a guide.”  Feed Your Wild podcast will be taking a winter break as Venessa goes on maternity leave. We’re excited to come back renew

This is PART II of the 2-part series where I’m sharing (almost) everything I’m doing in this wild pregnancy journey of mine and answering your top questions, from the physical to the mental, emotional, & especially spiritual.  In this episode, I’m focusing on the mental, emotional, & spiritual aspects of my journey and dropping a ton of resources for you, which should all be linked up and found in the Full Show Notes on my website using the link below. I invite you to listen, take what resonates and leave the rest, do your own research, and above all - listen to your OWN intuition and follow your body’s lead when it comes to any health journey. Specifically, I touch on my process around planning/”trying” vs leaving to chance, the idea of “conscious conception,” ancestral healing, boundary work, spirit babies & communication, shadow work and energetic hygiene + spiritual practices during pregnancy. I also touch on my exploration of my birth/rebirth preparatory process.   FULL SHOW NOTES: http://w

Happy 11/1! This episode is an Akashic Soul Nourishment reading for November 2021, an intuitively channeled message from the Akashic Records for the month. Our Guides encourage you to feel into the greater depths of so-called “fruiting bodies” and open your awareness to the vastness living behind the formations before you. They share how we can truly begin to tap into the vast complexity of this physical reality and how sorcery takes on many different faces in today’s modern world. This reading includes a tarot card reading, the Page of Wands - a channeled message about this card from our guides as well as a post-channeling breakdown and discussion with Venessa. We end with a mini moon musing about this upcoming New Moon in Scorpio, cosmic influences upon our personal and collective experience, and reflective prompts for this liminal time when the veils are thin. An excerpt from our channeled message: “...Through these fruiting bodies, deep into the roots and into the vastness, we all have access to all faces

We have Sajah Popham back on the podcast to talk to us about herbal alchemy & spagyrics! Sajah is author of Evolutionary Herbalism and the founder of the School of Evolutionary Herbalism, where he trains herbalists in a holistic system of plant medicine that encompasses clinical western herbalism, medical astrology, Ayurveda, and spagyric alchemy.  In this episode, we go into what Alchemy is... Sajah breaks down the word, the historical lineage and how it's rooted in the transformational process of nature.  He tells us how the alchemical tradition really looks at the wholeness of plants, people and the cosmos developing an herbal pharmacy focusing on this wholeness of the body, mind, spirit and soul. Then we go into spagyrics... what they are, how did Sajah first come to study them, and he breaks down the process and art of making spagyrics plus the three philosophical principles that are really the foundation of this tradition.  We go into how to start helping people with herbal alchemy and spagyrics - w

What is true “holistic medicine?” This is a very big question that I attempt to (humbly) address in this solo episode. In my experience in the holistic health field over the past decade, I have seen more and more chronic complex cases arise. Folks have done “all the things” and still not seeing “results”. As our world becomes increasingly toxic, and current generations are dealing with compounded traumas and lineages of dis-ease carried through their family line, it’s imperative we support health in a truly holistic way. In this episode, I cover what holistic medicine is NOT, including a personal story about my mom's journey with breast cancer. We then go into what I believe to be some of the top pillars of holistic medicine including heart medicine, slow medicine, understanding our nature connection, and honoring the WHOLEness of people, plants, and our place in the greater macrocosmic environment. I share examples of various traditions and ways of practicing and receiving holistic medicine, as well as the f

In this solo episode, I’m doing a fascinating overview of the top insights, lessons and patterns I observed from over 300+ Akashic Soul Record Readings over the past 1.5 years.  These have been unprecedented times and there have been clear themes that have arisen in my intuitive readings for people since the beginning of COVID.  As we near the end of 2021, I felt the call to share the most common insights so that all can benefit from the messages sent by our Guides going forward into this seasonal transition and new year. From transitions & pauses to purification, galactic families, & shifting timelines... we go from micro to macro, mundane to esoteric, minutia to meta! You’ll also hear about the top recommended remedies & practices folks received - some of my faves including altar-making, brain rewiring, flowers & spagyrics.    Join us for The Wildly Intuitive Practitioner Pathway!: Applications are open for this 9 month group mentorship and practitioner mastermind for healers and helpers who

This episode is an Akashic Soul Nourishment reading for October 2021, an intuitively channeled message from the Akashic Records for the month. Our Guides share about the nature of our light body and auric field, and how our energy can be siphoned off... voluntarily and involuntarily. They discuss who is most vulnerable to being a target of energetic appropriation and why it’s paramount to remember how to steward and protect your light. They share specific steps to support you in this process as well as the critical need to stay “sober” in acts of consumption when traversing the many rabbit holes present right now. We end with a tarot card reading, the XIX SUN, reversed - a channeled message about this card from our guides as well as a post-channeling breakdown and discussion with Venessa. An excerpt from our channeled message: “Victory begins in the heart. Close your eyes, take a deep breath, and begin there.”  FULL SHOW NOTES: http://www.wildlyrooted.com/fywpodcast/october2021akashic  OCT 1 2021: LAST DAY

We start this episode with a mini moon musing for this Pisces full moon then go into our interview with our guest - my good friend Ashley Burnett who is back on the podcast. Ashley’s a womxn’s business and leadership coach, dancer, retreat facilitator and nature-based ritualist. She helps change-making entrepreneurs clarify their vision, heighten their income and impact, cultivate Queen confidence and align their businesses with the cycles of nature for sustainable growth, long-term.  The past two years have been a rollercoaster and continues to be a crucible and even catalyst for so many - forcing us to get clear on our beliefs, what it is we are here to do, how we show up, and reassess our life path and goals. If you feel like you are at a crossroads, you are not alone. I personally have worked with so many who are moved to take a leap into starting their own business or building community, some entering the realms of what we can call entrepreneurship for the first time, for others, perhaps more refinement

In this episode, we’re speaking with Dorothee Sophie Royal from the Moonwise podcast and the author of Rooted, a pregnancy journal honoring the inward path to motherhood, which launched in August 2021. Dorothee shares how she birthed the Rooted journal from her pregnancy experience - a powerful initiation allowing her to explore shadow parts of life, huge transformation, and journey from maiden to mother. She shares how shame drove her curiosity to explore programming and conditioning related to being pregnant, a sexual being, and a woman, opening up a discussion of my own discovery process of programs related to productivity, worth, energy during my own pregnancy journey. We talk about the greater impact of our dominant culture on the pregnancy, birthing, & motherhood experience and the lack of support, cycles, and rhythms we are meant to experience. Dorothee shares lots of sage advice, including ways to call in support in an age of isolation, separation and disconnection. She also talks about her journe

In this solo episode, I cover astro insights, reflections + influences for this new moon in Virgo, lots of helpful gut-related tips & insights, plus some pretty BIG announcements - both personal and for my work + the podcast. You’ll also hear about Feed Your Wild Gut - a program that was birthed from my own challenges with chronic gut issues… it’s the culmination of years of “figuring it out” with research, testing, functional nutrition, herbs, energetics, and soul-level healing.   You have a powerful role to play in this new world. In order to do so, you MUST tend to your body, your heart, your energy, and your GUT! That’s why I created my upcoming program Feed Your Wild GUT... a self-paced immersive online experience that provides a truly holistic approach to healing the gut. It’s designed to support healers, helpers, & change-makers cultivate wild harmony in the gut so you can build resilience, boost vitality, and connect with your intuition & personal power for radical transformation. If you’r

This episode is an Akashic Soul Nourishment reading for September 2021, an intuitively channeled message from the Akashic Records for the month. Our Guides share about the revolution that is upon us - personal and collective - and invite you to tune in and connect with the power of your unique song.  They share the multi-layered meaning of “revolution” and bring awareness to the internal and external forces that attempt to drown out your song to prevent you from fully realizing your own power. Speaking of power - our Guides touch on the misunderstanding of power, the misuse of the human mind, and the derangement inherent in dogma. An excerpt from our channeled message: “Power is not about coercion or domination. Power is clarity of mind, sight, heart. Do not fear power - your own power. Reclaiming your own power is part of the revolution...”    FREE TRAINING :: Soul Gut Immunity Guide Masterclass: 6 Steps To Better Gut Health & Immunity A Holistic Approach to Greater Resilience, Intuitive Connection, &

In this solo episode, we’re diving into health-related themes connected to Virgo season: your gut, immunity, & sanity. In a time where so many are experiencing personal “dark night of the souls” amidst collective intensity, it’s important we remember the wisdom of our bodies, our connection to the changing seasons, and anchor into nourishing practices that support our bodies on all levels. When our gut and bodies (physical, mental, emotional, energetic) are taken care of, we have the resilience and internal resources to navigate challenging experiences and the connection to intuition that guides our way. I cover astro insights + influences for Virgo season as it relates to health, immunity from an Ayurvedic and ecological perspective, & how to cultivate a healthy gut, immune system and maintain sanity in these intense times. I share some of my favorite herbs, remedies and practices for Virgo and your gut-immune axis, as well as general immune supportive tips for this transitional season to boost your

We are back with another impromptu Akashic message for the Feed Your Wild collective all about this Lion’s Gate portal + new moon in Leo! You’ll hear about the importance of Sirius, our spiritual sun, the transmission of energy and how our DNA works to receive this, some background on the Ancient Egyptian connection and our “lion kin,” & the heart’s role in our ascension process and healing. Venessa provides a mini moon musing for this New Moon in Leo, how to commune with these energies and determining the date you can actually see Sirius in the sky wherever you are! This is a powerful time to get up at dawn and take in the luminous transmission of this star.

This episode is an Akashic Soul Nourishment reading for August 2021, an intuitively channeled message from the Akashic Records for the month. This message from our Guides describes the paradox that we live in... that Home is everywhere and nowhere. They describe the varying levels of consciousness and how there are real forces, mostly unseen, that have and continue to influence our vibrational set point. The key to establishing discernment and sovereignty over our choices and consciousness is to deeply connect with our Selves again. Our Guides illuminate that this is a time of great change, not just upon our world, but for many beyond the veils of what we know and can imagine, and describe Earth’s role in this larger process...  An excerpt from our channeled message: “This month offers an opportunity to consciously engage with powerful frequencies that can serve to assist in the raising of one’s own consciousness, and work in a field of energy that opens up memory banks long held dormant.”  They cover how Aug

In the intro, you’ll hear some updates on the Feed Your Wild podcast and about a new 90 Day Akashic Mentorship: the Intuitive Healing Mentorship for Practitioners and Healers! In this episode, we’re speaking with Brooklyn-based astrologer Alice Sparkly Kat, aka Ace, and author of Post-Colonial Astrology. Their book offers an advanced look into politicized astrological history and application, and offers an explicitly queer, PoC and instersectional lens.  Astrology is an intersectional, political and magickal language with a cross-cultural history that informs our relationships to the planets. Exploring the origins of any system, such as astrology, is important in understanding how those very systems influence our experience and relationships. In this chat, we explore astrology as a language, and how the reshaping of astrology as a language can reshape our experience and relationship to the cosmos and their influence upon our lives. We cover how to reframe your relationship with astrology and switching from a

This episode is an Akashic Soul Nourishment reading for July 2021, an intuitively channeled message from the Akashic Records for the month. This message from our Guides gets heated... The world is being lit up and we’re invited to pay attention to how we participate in the heat - on a personal and collective level. Heat = inflammation, and while inflammation can be part of a healing response, it often comes with pain. We are shown pain as energy, information, and a universal connector. Our Guides share how we commune + utilize pain, for better or worse, and how to begin the sacred work with pain and healing to transmute pain into love. We touch on the concepts of “coherence” and “harmonious resonance” in this process, and what you need to know to get started today. An excerpt from our Guides: “There is great suffering and pain in this world right now. We will be frank - most of it is due to misperceptions and misunderstandings that are amenable and preventable. While there are forces upon us that subsist on y

Solstice Blessings, Fam! Today we are talking about the energies and themes of this Summer Solstice, including Cancer season, Jupiter retrograde, the power of solar medicine, and this Strawberry Full Moon in Capricorn this week. In this episode, I touch on the general context of Summer Solstice, reflections with the 6-month mark since The Great Conjunction, and the influences of Jupiter retrograde - providing expansive energy around breaking down limiting belief systems and constrictive patterns. We talk about influences from the lovely Strawberry Full Moon in Capricorn, and I provide a mini Akashic reading from our Guides on this potent time. I include nourishing practices, plant allies, & sun foods to consider and reflection prompts to support your soul journey + ride the powerful light waves of our magnificent Sun energy!   Click here for full show notes: http://www.wildlyrooted.com/fywpodcast/summersolstice2021   ***** WORK WITH VENESSA Akashic Soul Record Readings: http://www.wildlyrooted.com/akash

In this episode, we’re speaking with musician, voice trainer & empowerment coach Kirbanu. You’ll hear about Kirbanu’s journey and evolution with her voice and how she overcame challenges, and discovering freedom, love and joy with her singing voice. In the intro, I share about my program Feed Your Wild VOICE which closes for registration June 7 evening. I cover what you’ll learn, who this is for, and how supporting the health of my voice has changed my life. I share personal examples of how healing my voice supported my intuition, healing physical challenges, and allowed me to manifest an aligned life and soul work. You’ll hear how Kirbanu broke through her blocks around expressing her needs, and how to navigate through disconnection and dissociation, and begin to reconnect with your body and voice. She shares how to overcome fear of expression and share your truth, and why learning to love yourself is the fundamental step to finding and expressing your authentic voice. Kirbanu shares how physical voice c

This episode is an Akashic Soul Nourishment reading for June 2021, an intuitively channeled message from the Akashic Records for the month. Our Guides this month share stories and an invitation to remember your connection with the natural world and innate ability to “plug into” the subtle matrix of communication and consciousness that we are meant to experience as earth beings. Insights on bees and butterflies as divine elemental mediators help us to understand there is so much more than meets the eye or microscope. The greatest threat to our evolution - according to our Guides - is the “great forgetting.” Our Guides: “Spirit works through the natural world in omniscopic ways, and if you pay attention enough, learn the subtle language of the natural world, and trust, you will receive far more insight and knowledge than any book, app, wiki, course, or person can give you.” In the intro, I share more details about my program Feed Your Wild VOICE and how it can support your connection to your Inner Voice.
