The Authentic Creative: expanding our capacity to feel good
Earth Day After Glow: The Power of Remembering Together
What happens after the formal panel ends, and the circle keeps glowing? This special bonus after party episode captures the warmth, wisdom, and raw beauty of what unfolded when the Earth Day panelists stayed on to share from the heart: unscripted, unfiltered, and unshakably real.
Together, we explored what it means to return to safety, live with courage, and honor our sacred needs as alignment with nature herself. From nervous system resets to the Empress card, sound as medicine, and sacred micro-moments in the bathroom or backyard, this conversation is a tapestry of reminders to shake, breathe, soften, and return.
You’ll hear reflections on:
- How courageous it is to live authentically and lead spiritually
- Why remembering who we are is an act of leadership and love
- Micro-regulation tools like humming, breathwork, tea rituals, and tree-gazing
- What the cacao plant teaches us about honoring our own needs
- Sisterhood, spiritual stewardship, and the deep medicine of women gathering
This was a soul bath. A safety drumbeat. A collective exhale.
