In the final episode of the Root Awareness podcast series, I share the most powerful dream of my life and finally re-membering who I am while coming back home to body, Earth, and Soul.

In Chapter 11, Embodiment beyond the binary, I share my own gender story and how my understanding of gender intersects with my ecological self.

In Chapter 10, The River Runs Through Us, I share the first time I connected deeply with the flowing Green River in the Southwest, as well as the first time as an adult I allowed my tears to flow in the presence of another human without any substance or medicine.

In chapter 9, sensual as power, I share my own experience of embodied healing and awakening.

In chapter 8, Meeting the Moment, I discuss a time in my life where I went through a physical trauma, and was held by a grandmother who rocked me into remembering the sacredness of Earth and my own inner feminine and authentic expression.

In chapter 7, Abortion as Portal, I share my personal abortion story and how this experience was an opening into healing, self love, and community care.

In Chapter 6, Psychedelic Sentience, I share my story of merging with Earth energy through the magic of mushrooms in Big Bend National Park, Texas // Chisos/Jumano territory.

In Chapter 5, Friendship Ecology, I share a personal story of being in the wild as a young teen and learning what true friendship means when fostered by nature.

In chapter 3, Instinctual Leadership, I share a pivotal story of my first female led backpacking trip, where I witnessed two sisters transform their relationship from rupture to repair, while rock climbing. This moment demonstrated what is possible when we are courageous enough to turn toward challenge in both our relationships with each other and our relationship with the wild.

In chapter two, Liminal Grace, I share my near death experience of being in a plane crash during the turbulent time of adolescence. This experience profoundly changed my life and instilled a deep desire to be in service to others and live a meaningful and purposeful life. I also interview Rebecca Wildbear, soul guide for Animas Valley Institute, Wild Yoga instructor, and author of the recently published Wild Yoga: A practice of Initiation, veneration, and advocacy for the Earth.

In chapter 1, At Home with the Elements, I share one of my first memories of home, wildness, nature’s wisdom, and being held by my mother through the storm. I also interview guest Corva Rose, founder of Tree School in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
