    • The impactful revelation of her family's heritage and the internal conflicts arising from cultural assimilation and survival tactics.
    • Her journey through city life, mentorship, and immersion into community work in places like Boston and Minneapolis.
    • Erin's musings on intuition, its power, how her environment has shaped it, and its significance in her life choices.

  • 110: Instant Shaman w/ Grandmother Láné Saán Moonwalker
    Apr 20 2024

    In a world where instant gratification often overshadows the slow and sacred process of spiritual growth, the notion of being an "Instant Shamman" challenges us to confront our desire for quick fixes and superficial understanding.

    Today, step into the circle with me and Grandmother Láné Saán Moonwalker as we journey through the depths of indigenous wisdom and ancestral knowledge.

    We explore:

    • Grandmother's personal journey through the deserts and her profound connection to the sacred beings of the land.
    • Experiences of transformation and awakening. Grandmother's reflections on deprogramming from colonization.
    • The concept of the "Instant Shaman" and the process of achieving spiritual growth through multiple levels.
    • The parallels between resistance from loved ones and life in the desert. Fostering a deep communion with divine energies amidst discomfort.
    • Embracing discomfort as a catalyst for self-discovery and radical self-love.

  • 106: Be the Medicine [The Replay]
    Oct 28 2023

    How can you be the medicine? How can you reject what the modern world has taught you and, instead, find what you need within yourself? Are you struggling to understand what this phrase even means or where to start? Then join me today for an exploration of this concept of medicine. Together, we’ll consider how our modern society is attempting to extract it without acknowledgement and how you can start taking steps to be your own medicine as you begin your journey to radical self-love, acceptance, and healing. I invite you to pause, reconnect, and do the work to find your truth. Let’s get started.

    I’m exploring:

    • How the modern world’s approach to finding medicine is missing the point and can lead to greater harm
    • The perspective of an Indigenous woman with a special reading
    • Colonization as a part of the human condition: Why must one conquer? Can there be another way?
    • How to let go of martyrdom as a form of generosity and goodness and, instead, be true to who you are, as you are
    • Reciprocity with Mother Nature: Are you taking without giving back?
    • Breath work to detach from trying to fix yourself or others, but instead learning about self as you begin your healing journey
    • And more

  • 105: The Journey to Healing with Ash Bell
    Oct 21 2023

    The journey to healing can be a long one and for those called onto The Medicine Path, those asked to weave their knowledge and experiences to help others, it can be easy to prioritize filling other's cups before your own. This week I’m bringing back one of my most popular episodes with a guest that shows us that the healing journey is one that never ends; one that asks to remain students of life and become our own medicine first. In today's episode, I welcome to the circle healer, badass and amazing human being Ash Bell. Ash is a healer from Melbourne Australia with experience in Tibetan Sound Healing, Reiki, and facilitating Cacao Ceremonies. With a background in Social Work, Ash weaves together these different modalities in order to support people to heal, find their light, lift the soul and stay grounded. Join us for today's episode where Ash shares more about her creation story, how her journey in self healing lead her to helping others, her relationship with ceremonial Cacao, and what being a student in a circle means.

    We're exploring:

    • Ash's creation story (and how being a cancer survivor has changed her life and practices)
    • How her personal healing journey put her on the path to help heal others (and why it's important for healers to fill their cups first)
    • The one practice that has helped her deepen her practices
    • Ways that Ash is learning to navigate being a star being while having a human experience
    • The partnership between Cacao and Sound Healing
    • What is means to be a student in a circle
    • And so much more!

  • 104: Disruptive Technology
    Oct 14 2023

    We have a strong sense of urgency in modern western society; a sense of urgency that is passed down from person to person. But it’s very disruptive. And as we continue our series on technology, we enter into the circle today to have a conversation around disruptive technology. Join me as I explore disruptive innovation, business theory as it relates to technological advances, and the cost of our quest for technology and innovation.

    I’m exploring:

    • Some examples of disruptive technology means and what I find curious about it
    • THESE things that were once considered disruptive technologies that may surprise you
    • How technology—whether disruptive or not—is extractive
    • Colonialism as a disruptive technology
    • The illusion of living in economies with big scale and big choices
    • Business theory as it relates to disruptive technology
    • Risk assessment and risk management
    • What happens when the human mind doesn’t understand something
    • The unspoken value system of technology
    • What disruptive technology creates and what it innovates us out of
    • My gift to you to help you in the process of unification
    • And my prayer for technology
