Repatterning an All or Nothing Mindset by Understanding the Polarity of the Mind Part 1

There is a common theme that I see not only in the health and wellness space but all over the world, where women are striving for the moving goalposts of perfection. So many of us are trapped in the all or nothing mindset of perfection that we are missing the beauty of the gradients in our lives.When we are trapped in a perfectionist - or an all-or-nothing - mindset, it is a key indicator that we are facing some sort of dysregulation in our nervous systems. This is causing a constant survival...

Heresy Heals: Why “Getting into Your Feminine Energy” Feels Impossible: Introducing the Nourishing Practice of Energetic Equilibrium (Part 2)

We continue our Heresy Heals series with Part 2 in this episode. We are deep diving into the roots of the word “Heresy,” and what it actually means and how it’s not as bad as the word has come to be understood. Ultimately, the root of heresy is finding your own way to the truth that is meant for you. Truth is not absolute, and we often forget that part of seeing the perspectives and truths of others is how we grow and expand as individuals. As women, we always carry our feminine ene...

Heresy Heals: Searching for Truth is Nourishment for the Undernourished Spirit (Part 1)

My Personal Spring “Detox” - Why I Invite Detoxification in the Spring

Detoxing has become such a marketing fad that I think we have lost the meaning and importance of the word and what it actually means for our bodies. In truth, the true ways to detox don’t revolve around a certain supplement or tea or product. Detox begins within. There are three main things you can be doing to support your body’s systems for detoxification and that is general nourishment with nutrient rich foods, regular bowel movements, and reducing stress.

“Feral” Herbalism, Plants Aren’t Scary, Natural Haircare, Sovereign Beauty & Getting Over Our Fear of Nature with Arielle de Martinez

There has been a long developed stigma surrounding herbs and their uses in our lives. Common marketing surrounding herbal remedies is often stamped with confusing labels like, “Not FDA approved” and “If pregnant or breastfeeding, consult a physician.”What society has forgotten is that these herbs are the plants that our creator gave to us on this planet. They all have a purpose in our lives, from healing to beauty and everything in between—and they shouldn’t be considered dangerous if you are...

Anima and Animus: Feeding the True Feminine Instead of Conforming to the Male Anima

Media has always had the power to shape our outlook on life and even how we choose to behave. I recently rewatched Sex in the City and identified how it so wrongfully shaped the definition of femininity in the late '90s and early ‘00s, by portraying empowered women operating under the guise of masculine energy.Along with this, which arguably gave an extra boost to the feminist movement, we have a new spin on the definition of femininity that is coming from what is portrayed on social media be...

Feminine energy is based on the texture behind what we are doing and how it feels to do the actions we are doing, not so much the fruits that those ac...
