The Imaginal Change Podcast
The Imaginal Change Podcast (Formerly Magical Humaning) is a space for honest conversations about what it really means to evolve as humans and embody the change we want to see in the world. Hosted by Meghan O'Malley—former therapist turned imaginal guide, somatic Human Design mentor, and co-author of Unstuck Yourself—this podcast is for people who are tired of performative healing, productivity culture, and the heavy burden of pretending they've got it all figured out. Here, we explore how to listen—to the body, to each other, to the wisdom found in life's challenges, and to the imaginal blueprint revealed through our Human Design. We talk about releasing old stories, trusting ourselves in our messy evolution, and softening into deeper truth instead of pushing harder. This podcast sits at the intersection of personal transformation and collective reimagining. It's about pausing in those disorienting moments when structures are crumbling, choosing curiosity over control, and accessing our full creative potential to build something genuinely new. This is not a podcast with all the answers—it's a love letter to the world and a space to witness authentic stories that hope to affirm and awaken something within you. If you're ready to listen deeply and become who you're meant to be, you're in the right place.

Episode 49: When Healing Means Letting Go: Gut Health, Nervous System Safety, and Reclaiming Your Power with Sarah Greenfield
Sarah Greenfield—functional medicine practitioner, nervous system guide, and creator of the Gut Archetypes framework—joins me for a rich, deeply human conversation about what it really means to heal from the inside out. Sarah shares her evolution from a heavily lab-based, certainty-driven practice to one rooted in nervous system wisdom, emotional honesty, and returning power to the people she works with. We explore what happens when we stop treating the body as broken and start listening to it as the wisest guide we have. In this episode, we explore: Why your gut symptoms aren't a betrayal — they're your nervous system doing exactly what it was designed to do Sarah's Gut Archetypes framework and how recognizing your survival pattern can instantly reduce shame and open the door to real healing Masculine-feminine rebalancing: learning to welcome the chaotic, unpredictable, creative feminine after years of trying to contain and control life from a place of structure and certainty What AI can and cannot do in the future of medicine — and why co-regulation, presence, and embodied human connection will always matter Following what feels good in the body even when the mind protests — and how creative intelligence often makes life more efficient, not less Sarah's imaginal vision: regulated, empowered adults modeling body wisdom and nervous system literacy for their children and communities This one is for anyone who has ever felt betrayed by their body, exhausted by the search for answers, or ready to trade false safety for something truer — a relationship with themselves they can actually trust.

Episode 48: Becoming the Message: How My TEDx Journey Asked Me to Live Into It — Over and Over Again
04/15/2026
Episode 48: Becoming the Message: How My TEDx Journey Asked Me to Live Into It — Over and Over Again
I've pressed pause on our guest series this week for a solo episode — a behind-the-scenes look at my recent TEDx journey. The real one. Sweaty palms, nervous system stretches, and all. We're so used to seeing the polished final talk that we forget what it requires of a human being to actually get there. This is my way of pulling back the curtain on the messy, deeply human process of saying yes to a big calling. . . even when (especially when) it requires you to live beyond your comfort zone over and over again. From my first application years ago (when I was unconsciously chasing legitimacy) to this round — after a natural disaster, divorce, business pivots, and countless lessons in surrender — this talk asked me to live my message long before I ever delivered it. In this episode, we explore: The real TEDx journey — from first application to getting "the call" in an airport en route to Cancun How my original desire for external legitimacy had to die so the talk could come from a truer place The difference between intuitive speaking and the highly crafted TEDx format — and why the memorization nearly broke my brain Losing myself in someone else's vision, doing a full reset, and finally reclaiming my real message The very human nervous system side: stress headaches, flashcards, walking miles reciting lines, and roping in friends and my teenager to run them with me The core message of the talk itself: why trying to control a shaking world keeps us stuck — and what becomes possible when we learn to move with instability instead You'll also hear my full TEDx talk woven into this episode — my offering for this collective moment where the ground keeps moving and so many of us are asking: how do I keep caring without being paralyzed by overwhelm? This one is for anyone living through their own season of crumbling, navigating big-purpose work without sacrificing their nervous system, or carrying a big, expansive dream of their own.

Episode 47: The Men We Need Now: Grief, Community, and Full-Spectrum Emotion with Jonathan Greenfield
Jonathan Greenfield (a.k.a. Jonathan Chase in the acting realm)—men's coach, grief guide, longtime actor, and devotee of "sacred play"—joins me for a raw, tender, and grounded conversation about men's work, heartbreak, and becoming more fully human in a culture obsessed with productivity and performance. We explore what it means for men to feel again—fully—and how grief, vulnerability, and community can alchemize old wounds into soft strength, relational integrity, and a more compassionate world. In this episode, we explore: What happens when a father dies, a marriage implodes, and you realize your partner can't meet all your needs Men's work as "healing the world one man at a time" and why community is essential, not optional The difference between performing emotion and actually feeling it in the body Soft strength, divine masculine presence, and becoming a safe emotional container instead of a fixer Grief as a profound expression of love. The trap of thriving on paper while feeling empty and alone at night Why many men have no close male friends they can call — and what becomes possible when they do This one is for anyone who longs to see men free to feel full-spectrum, untangle their worth from their bank accounts and titles, and show up as heart-centered, present humans.

Episode 46: Social Justice, Youth Leadership and the Courage to Have Life-Changing Conversations with Imani Mitchell
Imani Mitchell—educator, youth advocate, and imaginal change-maker at NCCJ (North Carolina for Community and Justice) of the Piedmont Triad—joins me for a tender, grounded, and quietly revolutionary conversation about what it means to grow humans who can move through the world with courage and compassion. This episode is especially personal for me. I went to Camp AnyTown over 30 years ago, and talking with Imani brought back just how formative that week was—and how much it matters that this work is still happening, still evolving, and still changing lives. We also pull Imani's human design chart, and honestly? It's a full cosmic "I see you" moment. In this episode, we explore: The story of NCCJ—from its interfaith roots to its current life as a social justice nonprofit, and how it's navigating this particular moment in history What makes Camp AnyTown so uniquely transformative, and why nothing that happens on that mountain is by accident How intentional diversity creates the conditions for real empathy, real conversation, and real reckoning with systems of oppression The emotional reality of hard conversations for teens—and how you hold space for big feelings without leaving anyone alone in them The non-linear path as a feature, not a bug—and what it looks like to follow your gut across disciplines until something clicks Mental health as part of the leadership conversation, not separate from it How we each define leadership—and why service, emotional intelligence, and being fully yourself might be the whole thing This one is for anyone who cares about young people, longs for more honest conversations about power and privilege, or is walking their own winding path of purpose, a non-linear career, and the messy, beautiful work of real change.

Episode 45: Sacred Craft, Wild Nature, and the Body as an Oracle with Nina Everflow
Nina Everflow—course whisperer, social activist, and self-described wild woman "still decolonizing her inner librarian"—joins me for a tender, honest, and deeply practical conversation about reclaiming our wild nature and learning to trust ourselves in a world shaped by colonialism, capitalism, and extraction. We explore what it really means to listen to the body, source power from within, and orient your life around the frequency you actually want to embody—not the one you were conditioned to perform. In this episode, we explore: Why rest, boundaries, and nervous system regulation are forms of activism—not indulgences The body as truth-teller and what happens when we stop overriding its signals Sacred craft: the gifts and expressions seeking to emerge through you right now How human design can support deeper self-acceptance (and why open centers are God portals) Stepping out of colonial binaries to access imagination, nuance, and new possibility This one is for anyone longing to live in integrity with their values while contributing to long-haul change—without burning out in the process.

Welcome to The Imaginal Change Podcast: A podcast makeover! Welcome to the rebirth of this podcast. What was once Magical Humaning is now The Imaginal Change Podcast—a shift that reflects a deeper clarification of my purpose and service. In this episode, I share the journey that led here: from farm worker activist to therapist to coach to imaginal guide. It's a story of gathering tools and wisdom, and feeling the growing urgency to share them more widely as we reimagine our lives and our world. In this episode, we explore: What "imaginal change" means and why it matters The space between disruption and moving forward—where true potential lives How pausing (instead of controlling) allows clarity to emerge The neuroscience of connecting beyond ourselves What to expect from this podcast going forward This isn't about having answers. It's about trusting the messy in-betweens, liberating our creative potential, and building something genuinely new.

Episode 43: Wintering and the Natural Process of Creative Surrender
In this episode, I’m inviting you into the quiet, often uncomfortable space of wintering—the season where clarity doesn’t come from pushing forward, but from slowing down enough to listen. We explore why the New Year’s pressure to plan, produce, and “figure it all out” can actually pull us out of alignment, and how our nervous systems cling to certainty—even when what’s familiar is no longer working. I share personal reflections on choosing stillness, releasing over-availability, and allowing old identities and patterns to gently die so something truer can emerge. This conversation is an invitation to consider a different question than What’s next? What if the work right now is to intentionally not know—and trust that wisdom grows in the quiet? We touch on Human Design, the themes behind my upcoming TEDx Asheville talk, and insights from Unstuck Yourself**—all pointing back to the same truth: rest, boundaries, and presence are not delays; they’re the soil. ✨ Tune in to remember: you don’t need to force the next chapter. Winter (the one within) has its own wisdom just waiting to unfold. 💌 Head over to to sign up for my newsletter & stay connected! P.S. If this episode resonates, share it with someone who’s feeling the pressure to rush ahead. Wintering is easier—and more powerful—when we remember we’re not alone.

Episode 42: Relational Burnout: The Hidden Patterns Beneath Doing Too Much
In this episode, I’m inviting you beneath the surface of burnout to explore what I call relational burnout—the deeper energetic and emotional patterns that quietly drain us long before we officially “hit the wall.” Together, we’ll trace burnout back to its true roots: the relationships that shape how we give, receive, and restore our energy. You’ll hear how this exploration unfolded for me while writing —and how it revealed not just my habits of overdoing, but the subtle ways I’d disconnected from myself in the name of being good, helpful, or strong. This conversation is an invitation to look beyond patterns of external over-DOing and ask: what part of me have I been abandoning in the name of trying to be enough, be seen, or fill some other gaps in my life? When we begin to repair our relationships—with ourselves, our bodies, life itself, and the people we are closes with—our energy starts to flow again. We remember that boundaries are sacred, that empathy doesn’t require depletion, and that the way we care for ourselves teaches the world how to love us back. ✨ Tune in to remember: your energy is sacred, your needs are not negotiable, and your presence—rooted and replenished—is one of the most generous gifts you can offer.

Episode 41: Everyday Activism (Embodied Ripples of Revolution)
When you think of activism, what comes to mind? Protests? Petitions? Big, bold gestures of resistance? While those forms of activism are vital, there’s another revolution happening in quieter ways — in how we show up in our everyday lives. In this episode, we explore embodied activism — the idea that our healing, our relationships, and the way we move through the world can be one of the most powerful forms of collective change. Together, we’ll dive into: Why personal transformation isn’t selfish, but a ripple of impact that changes the collective. How the energy we carry in our bodies and relationships contributes to (or shifts) the larger cultural field. How embodying the values we want for the world begins with small, unglamorous daily personal choices. A real life story of how simply carrying ourselves with presence and openness can inspire and uplift others. This conversation is an invitation to reframe how you see your contribution to the world. You don’t always need a megaphone or a title to make a difference. Your embodied wholeness — your posture, your presence, your choices, your love — is activism in action. ✨ Tune in to remember: you matter, your energy matters, and the way you live is a quiet revolution with ripple effects far beyond what you may ever see.

Episode 40: Catching up: Life in Dog Years
Sometimes life moves in dog years—fast, wild, and packed with initiations. After a two-year pause, Magical Humaning is returning with a tender, truthy, all-the-feels catch-up on what’s unfolded, what cracked open, and what’s being created now. This episode is an honest look at living the “both/and”: seasons that were devastating and liberating, griefy and grace-filled—where endings and beginnings braided together. I share how I navigated a stretch that felt like a life-quake (think: relationship transitions, a scary car accident, unexpected opportunities, and the ongoing practice of surrender) and what it taught me about purpose, alignment, and letting life love you… even when it’s messy. Here’s what’s inside: the “two years in dog years” chapter—why I stepped back and why I’m back now surrender in real time (not the Instagram version): what it looked like in my body, business, and relationships holding the holy both-and: divorce alongside deep devotion, trauma alongside unexpected magic, fear alongside fierce hope how I chose gentler metrics of success (nervous system, joy, resonance) over performative hustle the surprising invitations that arrived when I stopped muscling and started listening How understanding my human design helped me meet this chapter of challenge with greater compassion and purpose If you’re in a season of recalibration or reinvention, I made this one for you. May it remind you that pauses can be portals, endings can be medicine, and you’re allowed to build a life that fits the you you’ve become. Let’s stay connected!

In this episode we’re continuing the journey of unpacking the 5 Human Design TYPES. As we explore these last three types, we share our own understandings of: *The Divine gifts (the unique magic!) of each type *The conditioned shadows (where culture can teach these types away from their authentic gifts) *The emotions to look for that can point to alignment AND misalignment (because “shoulds” can take us out of alignment pretty easily) *The aura of each (how the unique energy system of each type interacts with the world. . . and how it can feel to others) We explore those key points as well as offering some sprinklings of our signature quirkiness, personal experiences and perspectives from our own time swimming in the realm of Human Design & deconditioning.

Episode 37: Adventures in Human Design with Laura Cardwell
This week we’re officially diving into the Human Design pool, and I’m bringing my friend and radical magic collaborator Laura Cardwell along to play! In this episode: *We share our unique, yet similar, paths of resistance AND love of the Human Design realm. For both of us it was a push-pull experience. * We discuss the overwhelm that’s VERY common when starting the journey of learning about Human Design. . . and how we’ve navigated it ourselves. * We explore the embodiment aspect of deconditioning work and how we use this archetypal tool to play at the intersection of energy medicine AND more conscious perspective shifts. * We lovingly rant about the intellectualization of the Human Design field and the need to take this work out of the ego swirls of the head and into the heart. . . to really begin to LIVE our unique design. * We talk about the need to slow down, to practice patience and to really give space for the deconditioning process to “land” in our bodies and nervous systems. True deconditioning isn’t quick fix transformation, it’s lasting, sustainable empowerment, ease and magic. * And, of course, we sprinkle in some quirks and tidbits about how we’ve learned to navigate our friendship and business collaborations through the lens of our own designs. (hint: it’s WAY easier!) This is only the beginning of a series on Human Design, so if you’re a newbie, welcome! And if you’ve already been swimming in the realm of Human Design, then we hope our take on it will add something new to your journey!

Episode 36: Navigating “Completion Tours” & Retrograde Flavored Chapters of Life
Life has a way of making sure we receive the lessons we NEED, and not just the lessons we WANT. It does this by showing us the same or similar patterns, people, and energies over and over again. . . sometimes even in different “costumes” and contexts. This episode is all about how to gracefully, curiously and compassionately navigate those cringey, uncomfortable and wound-y chapters of life that most of us would prefer to avoid. Here’s the good news: There ARE approaches that make them far easier, more healing, more empowering. . . and believe it or not, even magical!. . . and THAT is exactly what I’m sharing this week! We’ve got a LOT of planets doing the retrograde dance right now, so I share what reflection they’re inviting us into (in my own “I’m not an astrologer” sort of way), and I also share some of my favorite tips for navigating any another flavor of unexpected “completion tour” that shows up in your life. We can fear these chapters or we can meet them eye to eye with intention and grace. . . and when we learn to really BE with them, life tends to get a LOT more peaceful. Trust me.

In today’s episode we explore: *What I mean when I talk about choosing to practice “full permission” expression - and how it IS NOT some sort of reckless, selfish approach to life that requires you to not care about others. *Why a commitment to full permission living is a radical practice of embodied activism (hint: because it fiercely challenges conditioning!) *How to actually begin to explore your authentic Self that lives beneath who you learned you “should be” *How small acts of permission and creative expression pave the way toward more embodied truth. *The difference between authentic pleasure and bypassing (one is rooted in alignment and the other is rooted in avoidance) *And I share my current working definition of play and some of the core aspects (according to Dr. Stuart Brown) that supported me in being LESS (overly) “responsible” and MORE playful.

In this episode we talk about. . . *How body positivity came in with great intentions, but has had some unfortunate unintended impact *How connecting with and appreciating the wisdom of the body in more unconditional ways can pave the way to all sorts of healing, empowerment and magic *The power of just LISTENING to the body without forcing an agenda. *And how redefining our relationship to our bodies may be one of the most powerful forms of activism we can practice!

Big visions, offerings and leaps of faith call us toward deeper alignment. .. but, most folks aren’t talking about how to ALIGN, they’re telling us how to “make it happen.” Around here, we believe that forcing is overrated and stepping into aligned flow is a MUCH more enjoyable and inspired path. In this episode I share my step by step guide toward building and practicing energetic alignment to support the things that matter most in your life. We explore. . . *Creating SPACE for big vision, intuitive curiosity, and creating space for big visions to evolve. *Aligning TIMING by tuning into your intuition and the collective cycles and seasons. *Practicing energetic INTEGRITY and the necessary process of growth, healing and “becoming” by committing to EMBODYING the essence of the offering/vision/possibility yourself. *How to hold ALIGNED ENERGY while inviting folks in during a specific launch or manifestation period. Trust me, if you do these practices before taking massive action, things will flow a LOT more smoothly! Let’s stay connected! Find me at: Or on Instagram

Episode 28: Embodied Deconditioning - Learning to work WITH the nervous system to make magic

Episode 28: Embodied Deconditioning - Learning to work WITH the nervous system to make magic
Episode 28: Embodied Deconditioning - Learning to work WITH the nervous system to make magic We live in a culture of mental focus, but SO much deconditioning work happens in the BODY, so this episode is all about exploring how to embrace the nervous system as a guide and partner in the process. When we talk about partnering with the nervous system, we’re actually entraining our body to build capacity in some way. We build capacity for things that we decide matter - for our well-being, for our future, to move toward our greatest visions in life. In this episode, I talk about. . . *Expanding capacity for pleasure and ease *Teaching the nervous system to be with “necessary discomfort” *How to expand our ability to be in states of both stillness and “not knowing” *And the tricky dance between protective independence and co-creative interdependence and connection When we learn to partner with the body, to honor where it is and lovingly guide it toward when we want to go. . . aligned magic begins to unfold.

Episode 27: Decoding "spiritual speak" - Let's talk about Alignment & Manifestation
Sometimes the most obvious things are the most easily overlooked, which is why today’s episode is all about decoding and unpacking the meaning of some very commonly used words in the personal and spiritual growth realm - ALIGNMENT and MANIFESTATION If you aren’t swimming in the sea of growth every day these words may feel both interesting. . . AND wildly vague or unclear. In this episode I talk about. . . *MY definitions and understanding of each of these words *What they ARE and what they are NOT *HOW they are both PRACTICED and EXPERIENCED *And how my favorite archetypal tool, Human Design, supports alignment, deconditioning and magic making. *And as always, some real talk so that you leave feeling affirmed in the inherent messiness and humanity of it all.

Episode 25: Unpacking the Radical Magic Road-trip Part 2: Channeling focus, expanding receivership and the practice of wonder
In episode 2 of this three part series, we’re diving into all sorts of juicy gems of awareness and fun stories that emerged during my cross country roadtrip that was guided by intuition and connections along the way. In this episode: *I discuss how FOCUS is a powerful form of spell casting and magic making. Aaaaand how it’s actually our responsibility to stay curious about what we’re really focusing on so that we aren’t feeding the stories we don’t actually want. *I share about my commitment to challenge my ongoing allergy to EXPANDED and truly RECIPROCAL RECEIVERSHIP. Y’all, I’ve come a LONG way, but I knew I still had some blocks and blindspots, so. . . I practiced! A lot! *I explore the different flavors of RECEIVING. Hint: It’s not just gifts and service from other people. It can also be a practice of receiving signs, gifts, beauty and direction from the Universe. *I share about my own ongoing practice of trading my brain’s need for certainty for my soul’s desire to play in the playground of wonder-full not knowing. Possibility emerges when we make space for the story that lives beyond our control-flavored desires, you know. Magic often wants to show us the dream beyond the dream. Stay tuned for the next episode where we’ll build on this practice of wonder and unpack what I call “magical co-creation”! Let’s stay connected! Find me at: meghanomalleycoaching.com

Episode 24: Unpacking the Radical Magic Road-trip. Part 1: Rewilding instinct, embodied freedom & active faith
I’m back from my magical two month sabbatical and am SO excited to share the insights and magical stories with you! In this first episode (of the three part series): *I share with you WHY I went on this minimally planned cross country roadtrip. *I share HOW I honored the inconvenient intuitive tugs to do it, in spite of LOTS of logical reasons why I “shouldn't”. Bottom line: I knew I needed to test drive my magical theories in real life, it was time to feel what embodied freedom felt like in day to day choices AND I knew I needed to create a container to rewild my instincts . . .you know, without all of the to do lists and daily “shoulds” that can cloud my intuition. *I share how every single day I practiced LISTENING within, ACTIVE SURRENDER and “open palmed” FAITH to pave the way toward magical possibilities and highest good alignment. *I also share some fun stories, because truly this experience was SO MAGICAL! Join me in the next two episodes as I continue to unpack this radically magical roadtrip! Let’s stay connected! Find me at: meghanomalleycoaching.com

Episode 23: My Upcoming Radical Magic Sabbatical: A love note about my path of deepened alignment
This episode is a love note from me to you. It’s personal, honest and about things that are happening in my own life. . . in real time. TLDR: I’m doing a big brave thing. . . I’m taking an extended time out and time off from my business. . . for the FIRST TIME EVER! Curious? Keep reading. In this episode I talk about: *How I came to my intuitive (and illogical) decision to take a two month sabbatical this winter while my home life is already in a state of necessary destabilization. *What deeply aligned intuitive hits feel like in the body (at least in MY body) *The powerful and at times wobbly practice of both sacred GIVING and courageous RECEIVING *The importance of “letting it all go” sometimes in order to make space for the “NEW” to flow in (and how I’m doing this with my business right now) *How I’m choosing to practice embodied freedom during my sabbatical (hint: it’s a sort of radical magic road show!) and how the narratives we carry affect our sense of freedom in life. *How our level of energetic output must be balanced with our level of receivership if we are to avoid burnout or having our big beautiful fully-embodied service in the world stifled. There’s a LOT in this episode and I hope it speaks to your heart and your unique journey of navigating grit and polishing your inner brilliance. I’ll see you in 2023!

Episode 22: Fall-ing forward: the messy art of letting go and the embodied practice of grieving

Episode 22: Fall-ing forward: the messy art of letting go and the embodied practice of grieving
It’s fall, y’all! Aaaaand, since we are part of nature, this season inevitably comes with all sorts of growth-inducing invitations to let go, grieve and courageously allow the changes that really want to happen for our highest good (trees drop leaves and we’re invited to drop things too, you know). When we learn to allow this natural cycle of release to take place, taking compassionate and honest inventory of our lives and relationships we make space for new growth, more aligned possibilities and an overall greater sense of empowerment and lightness as we move through life. In this episode: *We explore the good-bad news that we don’t get to grow and expand without also learning to honor and embrace the necessary (and often messy, feely and illogical) grieving process *I discuss how grief and letting go is far bigger than literal death of a person/ pet. Contrary to what we’re taught, grief happens when we let go of anything (externally or internally) that we’ve held close. *We expand our understanding of HOW we experience grief - as it’s FAR more than thoughts and stories in the mind. Grief must move through the body. *I share perspectives and practices to support you in releasing the things that are no longer serving and supporting you. . . because insight is great, but without aligned, empowering action we can stay stuck. This is a season of radical compassion, brave honesty, and fierce love. It’s a time of doing the brave work of letting go, and then being really kind to ourselves and others as we navigate the messy alchemy. It’s time to lighten your load, recalibrate your life and trust fall into your next chapter. . . because in order to invite in NEW magic, you must make space by clearing out OLD, outdated “stuff.”

Episode 21: That Money Honey! with Guest Serena Hicks

Episode 21: That Money Honey! with Guest Serena Hicks
I’m joined today with the fabulous “High Priestess Money Witch”, Serena Hicks. Serena’s sacred money work is based on the belief that we ALL can get into the practice of loving ourselves, choosing ourselves, and trusting ourselves in spite of the conditioned beliefs we often have around money. The stories we learn have socialized us to stay scared, to not receive abundantly, to “play it safe” and to fear our power and capacity to be stewards of wealth, BUT there IS another way. . . a more magical and empowered relationship with money where we use abundance to positively impact not only our own lives, but to also CHANGE THE WORLD. If this episode resonates with you, you can learn more about Serena Hicks and her group program, The Boom-Boom Room, “where patriarchal programming about you and money goes boom” at www.serenahicks.com. As well as following her on social media platforms.

Episode 20: The Non-linear Life: Reclaiming the full scope of our human experience

Episode 20: The Non-linear Life: Reclaiming the full scope of our human experience
In today’s episode we’ll explore the radical idea of living a nonlinear life. Bottom line: We’re sold a very rigid, linear story of how things “should be”, but humanity is NOT linear! So, let’s get curious about WHY we think and believe what we think and believe so that we can have greater clarity about WHAT we CHOOSE to do or not do. In this episode we explore. . . *The core values of the systems of oppression that shape us. *How those core values shape the stories we accept as truth. . . even when those stories aren’t made for us and don’t honor real humanity. *Things to ponder to start unbinding ourselves from the rigidity of the “linear story” of success, relationship, and humaning, in general. *How nature is the most powerful teacher as we create new stories to serve true growth, healing and connection. *And what radical actions and practices support us coming home to our most expanded experience of living a human-affirming and empowering life? I’m so excited to share this episode with you all so that more folks can ride the organic waves of cycles, seasons and natural energies associated with being human. . . as THAT is where the magical alchemy really happens!
