Deep Currents
Do you know who you are in the face of danger? Adam Kavanagh is an Australian survivalist who has dedicated much of the last decade to getting back to basics and living off the land in the remote areas of northern Australia. Initially triggered by a health crisis and then evolving into a way he chose to live, his deep connection to nature has profoundly shaped his understanding of bushcraft and survival skills. Adam was invited to learn and hang out with the Indigenous communities of Doomagee, where he spent nearly five years living solo, aside from the times he spent with the locals....

Michelle Palasia is the first guest on Deep Currents for a very good reason. Deep Currents is all about the stories that connect us and the wisdom that helps us remember who we are and what we are. From my 12 years immersed in Rites of Passage work, I know how babies are born—including the mother’s state, the birth itself, and the care of both mother and baby in the early years—shapes the rest of their lives. In the creation of life, the connection to the core of our Spirit is either nurtured or fractured. This connection is key to our capacity for wholeness, intimacy, relationships,...

After a three-year break from this podcast, it's back. It has a different name, a more refined intention, and is still connected to the art of storytelling. I touch on how currents, vibrations, and resonance are the cause and effect of life itself, taking you on a short journey from the beginning of time. I speak to the power of story and how it has shaped history and our culture. I also discuss how currents, connections, and stories can support us in returning to a deep place of belonging. I share a little about my journey of being smashed into a million pieces by Motherhood and what...

He shares how he healed hyperthyroidism, depression and panic attacks when he began living paleo, stipping things back and striping back to the basics.

This episode is vast in its topic and while it begins with the contradictions around some of the principles of psychology, we weave in and out of rabbit holes that most people can relate to including repressed trauma emerging in the *stressful* now of life and toxic bonds in passion relationships.

This is a solo session with a four-step self-assessment of your entire life. How often are we sacrificing happiness, joy, spaciousness, peace, love and orgasms for a cost we will pay 10 x time, at least, sometime in the future? Let's see.

info_outlineLet's talk about Reclaiming Anger!
My guest today is truly in the business of challenging the status quo, and in her own words, gets even the most stubborn of us grooving into an ass shaking + move making state of mind.
Angel Phoenix Arsenal (previously known as Angela Gallo) is on the podcast today with myself and my biz sidekick Tara Caetano (stay tuned for an upcoming solo interview with her soon), to help us reclaim our anger and open our minds up to our privilege, in a way that activates change for the future.
A little more about Angel:
-
Angel Phoenix Arsenal is a Melbourne Doula who has turned her obsession with all things birth, motherhood, sexuality, women's work, social media, justice-for-all, personal growth, passionate professional development and challenging-the-status-quo mindset, into an empire of inspiration.
-
She is gregariously enthusiastic about creating monumental spaces where cis women, non-binary
and/or non cisgendered women can come to play in BIG ways. She is also infatuated with all things powerful business strategy and principles, as well as the positively productive use of social media to successful, amplify your brand and business. Her instagram @the_angela_gallo is most certainly a playground of inspiration that you must explore. -
Angel also trains Doulas. And not just any kind of Doulas, either. Fierce, impassioned, unique, devoted-to-the-cause, resilient, visionary, trailblazer type of Doulas – the kind committed to bringing the humanity, connection and compassion back to a multitude of thresholds Doulas hold space for. Doulas who travel to the brinks of places where all hope is lost, and bring humanity back to the barren.
In this episode we dive into:
- Demystifying the topics of oppression, self-suppression and the ways we have been taught to feel unsafe in our anger
- How the "good girl" mentality and not feeling 'oppressed enough' keeps us from participating in conversations that need to be had
- How anger serves a purpose in activating change, and how not engaging with the oppressive nature of our society is privilege in full action
- How to discover what you're truly passionate about
- How to have a healthy relationship with your anger, in a way that amplifies your work and cultivates confidence and conviction, vs. keeping yourself in a counter productive victim mindset
