The Red Deva Sovereign Health

In this reboot of the podcast and my life, I tell my "before" story in real time instead of waiting for enlightenment. Sovereignty is not a synonym of perfection.

After an epic hot minute of hiatus. The Red Deva tells the story of her namesake and how we are held and cocooned by the darkness of hard times.

As I'm planning Season 2 and all the changes my life has in store for this year, I'm contemplating a mind shift from striving to do all the things and instead BEcoming the person is gets enough of the things down that life moves forward. More Being doesn't imply we don't Do anything.  It does mean we allow ourselves to grow and evolve. This mindset might not look very different on the outside, but for me, it feels a lot more peaceful and loving on the inside.    One herb that is helping me Be that person with more grace and ease is Rhodiola Rosea.

Today the conversation in my head is about the balance between focus and flow. Being in action and receptive modes at the same time. Yin and Yang are both parts of a Sovereign life but it's easy to get caught in one way of being at a time. How do we integrate the two paths into one? I'll let you know when I figure it out! https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100085087617604 https://www.reddeva.com/ https://www.amazon.com/Magick-Bending-Time-Sacred-Business/dp/1736827200/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2PP7P1LB2FD6P&keywords=the+magick+of+bending+time&sprefix=the+magick+of+bending+time%2Caps%2C157&sr=8-1 https://flowdreaming.com/about-summer/  

Today we are in the presence of fierce sweetness. Author and poet Hannah Elizabeth King joins us to talk about the Occupation of Being, the writing process, and the healing that comes from being saturated in nature. Hannah's debut book of poetry We Are Wanderers is available on November 22, 2023. Please visit her website: https://www.hannahelizabethking.com/ as well as her beautfiul Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/hannahbeeking/

Today I'm talking about nutritional supplements and why I think we need them. I offer up my foundational basics, some that I alternate in and out, and some old friends that are always helpful when life knocks me down and I need to get back up again. 

We superwomen tend to put our friendships on the back burner when times get tough. But science shows us that our very lives depend on making time for the magic of oxytocin + estrogen that happens when we hang with our Girls. 

Today I am joined by burlesque dancer and instructor Diana Blau whose work teaches and inspires women to grow their confidence and body love through twerking, grinding, striptease, and radical self love.  For info about Diana's classes, please reach out to her on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/di.blau.3

Coming back from a small hiatus of autoimmune flare-up, we talk about Hashimoto's thyroiditis, some symptoms and causes and then look at autoimmune disease from a Self (with a capital S) perspective.

Coming out of a massive autoimmune flare up as well as a back injury, all during a rude and uncomfortable Venus Retrograde, I find my Self without the spoons to navigate biochemistry. Here is a rambling vent on being fiercely and profoundly self-absorbed.  Also, F-bomb alert! Proceed with caution!

Today I'm talking about my personal go-to bridge between the physical and the meta-physical. EFT Tapping is a science backed, outcome based, practical application for literally "changing your mind" about anything. Be it a pain, dis-ease, fear, belief, pattern, scenario, or lack - You can Tap On That!

We're diving deep into the structure of fat and how it is used in energy production. There's some sciencey detail in this episode so feel free to hit pause and repeat a bazillion times as needed. Why? Because understanding the how, helps you understand the why. Understanding the why helps you make informed choices every time you put food in your mouth. 

The story of a Big Rock adventure trail. How freakin hard and beautiful it was and the lessons learned. 

Dietary Fat is crucial to our health. It is an important piece of balancing our blood sugar. But it has been misunderstood for many years and there are many types of fat that are needed in a Sovereign diet. This is Part One of our three part conversation about my favorite MacroNutrient. 

We are not truly Sovereign if we are not doing the things we love. Adventures, pleasures, the things that light you up, turn you on, and make you YOU are non-negotiable in a Sovereign life. 

The cornerstone of stacking the odds in your favor doesn't have anything to do with food. It's a lifesyle practice that turns off cortisol and calls in more of that which you desire. There's a challenge at the end. Take it with me Red Deva Sovereign Health on Facebook!

Sovereign Health means paying attention to both the sacred and the mundane. It is both an act of cultural defiance and an oath of allegiance to your own body. The food you put in your mouth affects your mind and soul. How you do spirituality and soul care affects your physical health.

Blood sugar management. It's not about your A1C or looking good in a bathing suit. It is the single most foundational thing you can do, from a food and nutrition aspect, to stack the odds in your favor. Here's the MAIN reason why every bite of food you put in your mouth matters.
