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.

Ep. 56 Deep Currents | Reviving Sacred Birth w. Michelle Palasia
Deep Currents

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.

Ep. 55 Deep Currents with Amber Hawken
Deep Currents
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 share a little about my journey of being smashed into a million pieces by Motherhood and what...

info_outlineWhat would you do if you lost both of your legs?
When Vanessa lost both of her legs in a tragic train accident at the age of 15, she got told she would never be able to walk again.
She went on to become a paralympic gold medallist and world record holder in the long jump.
We discuss:
- grieving the entire life she envisioned she'd have
- standing up against those 'wiser' and who 'knew more', and winning
- the difference between determination and self-punishment
- moving beyond perceived present limitations and carving a new path
- how physical excellent will be limited by your level of mental strength
- understanding deeply that the power of choice is in your hands alone
- what life looks like now; love, purpose, passion, goals and training
- the single most potent advice she has to offer from this wild and wonderful journey
