In today's episode of the pod, I'm joined by dear friend and colleague, Kat HoSoo Lee. We talk about all things transformation and transmutation, reflecting particularly on the energy of the Fire Horse and what the energy of Fire will bring to the year ahead. This conversation is a little different than most of the ones here on the pod so far, but it is one of my favorites. --- The Interbeing Magazine: https://www.interbeingmag.com/ Cosmic Heartline: https://www.cosmicheartline.com/
Welcome back (again) to season 2 of the podcast! After an unplanned hiatus, I am so happy to be resuming season 2 of The Cosmic Heartline Podcast. Cosmic Heartline launched into the public space on February 12, 2025. Since then, a lot has happened. The journey has been different than I expected, but, of course, it has been exactly what it needed to be. Join me as I reflect a bit on what the past year has been, and share the energy that is this medicine and the work of Cosmic Heartline as we anchor back into this space. ----- Cosmic Heartline: https://www.cosmicheartline.com
Dr. Tracy Rainwaters returns to the pod! She joins me in conversation as we reflect on the evolution of the death process. Tracy became integral to the unfolding of Phoenix's death transition, and she joins me in sharing how Phoenix's energy and communication evolved as she approached the threshold of her death. Tracy shares some more of her own reflections in the wake of the unexpected death of her beloved dog Soonie, and we also speak of grief, surrendering to the process, and the personal journeys we've each had as a result of our individual grief processes. ---- Tracy Rainwaters: https://tracyrainwaters.com Cosmic Heartline: http://bit.ly/41X1Rvb
In what is probably my most rambly podcast yet, I reflect on Time in the death process - our relationship with it, the role it can play, the weight we can choose to give it (or lay down). These thoughts are far from polished, but I decided to publish this episode anyway: inviting you all in to my own personal process with grief and the death process. Perhaps, if nothing else, it reminds us all that it's never neat and tidy, but a process of flow, trust, and diving deep within. --- For all things Cosmic Heartline: linktr.ee/cosmic_heartline

My friend and colleague, Lockie Phillips, joins me on the pod today. Our conversation was truly a balm to my spirit -- it twists and turns and meanders as conversations between friends will, but the through-line of centering kinship with horses in their golden years is the root of all we speak about.

In this episode, I'm joined by Elsa Janney to share the story of her recent experience of a medical crisis with her beloved dog, Fillin. This was a conversation I was so excited to have, I forgot to do my usual intro question and warm up with Elsa, so that comes at the end! We dive right in and Elsa takes us through the incredible journey she and Fillin recently walked together.

On this episode I'm joined by my friend and horsemanship coach, Michelle Knapp. She joins me in a powerful conversation reflecting on her experience growing up with death being freely talked about and embraced, her own relationship with death, and how she holds space for those around her in the death transition of their animals.

I'm joined by my friend and mentor Dr. Tracy Rainwaters on the pod today! Tracy is a shaman, animal communicator, and equine chiropractor. We speak of our cosmic origins and connections, our animals as soul family, and she shares about the very recent and sudden death of her beloved dog, Soonie.

Before we dive further into this pod, I had to take a moment and reflect on the energy of language. How we speak to ourselves, our animals, and those around us has a very real and direct impact on our physical, energetic, and spiritual bodies. ---- https://www.cosmicheartline.com https://www.instagram.com/cosmic_heartline/ https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61568415760240
My friend Lori Halliday joins me today on the pod. She is a deeply intuitive person, the founder and executive director of Horse & Heart Ranch, and a deeply embodied individual.
