Reclamation

What happens when the woman who used to count down the steps until she had to read aloud in class is now the one holding the mic for hundreds of women?Kelsey sits down with Madeline Sargent — podcast host of She Says It and founder of Madly Creative, a creative studio helping women find their voice through branding and storytelling — for a conversation that is warm, real, and full of unexpected magic. Madeline's path into this work didn't start with a grand vision. It started with a hiking group in Seattle, a woman named Bethany, a six-week intuitive healing program, and a message that dropped in during a meditation so clearly it made her cry.She says it.From there, a one-way ticket to Portugal after a hard season with family, a Kindred Spirit statue in Cork that brought her to tears connecting her Choctaw and Irish ancestors, and eventually a full rebrand of her best friend's Jewish bakery — all of it wove together into a woman who is building something genuinely her own.This conversation also holds one of the most delightful moments in Reclamation history. Kelsey creates a new intuitive practice live on the mic: spiritual mad libs. She and Madeline each write three sentences, splice them together without knowing what the other wrote, and what comes through will stop you mid-listen.Here you'll learn:How a message dropped in for Madeline during a meditation and launched She Says It — and what it felt like to hear it for the first timeWhy finding your voice is not a destination but an ever-evolving process, and how Madeline has learned to trust thatThe astrocartography discovery that confirmed what Seattle has always been for her — and why we carry our energy with us wherever we goHow she helped her best friend of ten years rebrand her Jewish bakery simply by reflecting back who she already wasWhat Madeline says to the woman who thinks someone is already doing what she wants to doThe no-pressure approach that actually created more movement in her business than the hustle ever didThe spiritual mad libs transmission Kelsey and Madeline channel live — a message that lands like it was meant for whoever is listeningYou can do it. Say it and speak it. The right people are listening. And if you feel doubt, that's okay.

What happens when everything you built falls apart at once — and the only instruction you receive is get up, you took an oath?Kelsey sits down with Ilana Brown — spiritual mentor, shamanic bodywork practitioner, and torch bearer of Filipino healing arts — for one of the most dynamic, layered, and quietly groundbreaking conversations. Ilana is first generation Filipino-American and Jewish, a former corporate brand strategist who once predicted the back-to-land and indigenous resurgence movements in a company meeting in 2016 and was told none of it was real. She was right about all of it. And now she is living proof of exactly what she saw coming.Her path moved through living in Brazil, an exorcism in Cuba, building a centropic agriculture farm in Southern California, initiations in the Philippines, a marriage unraveling, a ceremonial knee injury that put her flat on her back for a year, and eventually a calling to work with the leaders, founders, and community stewards who are holding the most so she can light their torch so they can go light others.What Ilana brings to this conversation is a specific and rare kind of authority. She has been in the dark places — not as a concept but as a lived reality — and she came out the other side not polished or bypassed but genuinely, quietly unfuckwithable.Here you'll learn:What centropic agriculture taught Ilana about the nature of collapse and why entropy is not the enemy of growth but the condition of itThe warrior archetype in its three states — wounded, collapsed, and embodied — and what it actually looks like to move from one to the nextWhy Ilana defines her mission as teaching people to move at the pace of nature — and what that means in a world running on cortisol and false timeWhat Filipino shamanic bodywork actually is, why it was historically held by warrior healers, and the duality principle at its core: if I can take life, I must be able to give itHow she redefines exorcism as subconscious beliefs that have gotten loud — whispers we refused to face until they felt like something outside of usWhy being the thermostat instead of the thermometer is the actual work — and how Ilana got there after years of being bothWhat the modern matriarch archetype looks like and why Ilana believes she might be building a category that didn't fully exist yetHow she knows she is working with the right people: the leaders, the stewards, the spaceholders who need their torch lit so the web can spreadThere is a version of this work that happens when the floor disappears. When the marriage ends, the farm is gone, and you're on your knees — not in defeat but in the kind of surrender that finally cracks something open. Ilana has been there. And what she carries now is not the energy of someone who survived it. It is the energy of someone who was forged by it.Connect in Community with Ilana Brown:Release Subconscious Patterns Masterclass: Join HereGroup Coaching Series: Good Girl, InterruptedWebsite to connect with IllanaInstagram @IllanaBrownGrab Your Free GiftConnect with Kelsey + the Reclamation community:Book a Reading with Kelsey — HereInstagram @kelseyandersonintuitiveYouTube @KelseyAndersonIntuitiveThemes: Filipino healing arts, shamanic bodywork, warrior archetype, centropy, entropy, exorcism, subconscious recoding, moving at the pace of nature, wounded healer, modern matriarch, torch bearer, ancestral lineage, diasporic healing, nervous system, spiritual bypassing, soul reclamation, Remembrance Rising

This is one of those episodes that came through in real time, mid-task, because something needed to be said — not from a planned outline, but from the middle of what I'm actually living right now. And I think that's exactly why it needed to happen.What I share in this episode is something so many of us are walking through right now: the collective dismantling that's moving faster than most of us have words for. The feeling of standing at the edge of something and not being able to see what's on the other side. The way we keep reaching for one more teaching, one more class, one more reading — because if we just learn a little bit more, maybe then we'll be ready.Here's what I know: at some point, the knowledge has to move through you. And the thing that's been stopping it isn't a lack of information. It's a fear of your own power.I also talk about VeilFall — the four-day immersive retreat in the mountains of Montana I'm co-hosting this October — and how it came to life as part of this very process. Because some transformations need a container bigger than the one we can build alone.Here you'll learn:Why spiritual perfectionism is just people-pleasing wearing a different costume — and how I caught myself living that in real timeWhat the collective dismantling actually feels like from the inside, and why so many of us are experiencing it at record speed right nowThe moment I realized I was afraid of my own creative life force, and what shifted when I finally named itWhy filling yourself with more information stops working — and what it actually means to let what you've learned move through youHow community amplifies transformation in a way solo work simply cannot, and what it means to walk into a container that holds you completelyWhat I believe this season is asking of all of us — and why freedom is the word underneath all of itYou are the bridge. Not the teachings you've gathered, not the next healer you're waiting to see, not the retreat you're still talking yourself out of. Your voice, your energy, your trust in yourself — that is what creates the path. And the stone appears when you step.If something in this transmission is calling to you and VeilFall feels like part of your answer, I have linked everything below. → VeilFall Retreat — October, Montana: Join the Insider's ListInstagram: @kelseyandersonintuitiveYouTube: @KelseyAndersonIntuitiveThemes: spiritual perfectionism, collective awakening, dismantling, self-trust, creative life force, fear of visibility, community, VeilFall retreat, identity shift, death and rebirth, sacred rebellion, nervous system, embodiment, reclamation, Remembrance Rising

What if the anxiety you've been carrying your whole life isn't yours? And what if there's a completely different way to meditate, one that actually works for the way your brain is wired?Kelsey is joined by Ravelle Montoura — clairvoyant healer, somatic coach, meditation teacher, and creator of the Halosoma method — for a conversation that goes deep into energy, embodiment, and the very specific kind of freedom that comes from finally learning the language of your own body. Ravelle's path here wound through a Montessori childhood, public school struggle, years of therapy, a wildly successful tech sales career that left her feeling completely hollow, and a friend's casual invitation to a psychic school that changed everything.What she found inside that school was not just clairvoyance, it was the first nervous system framework her neurodivergent brain could actually work with. And that discovery became the foundation of Halosoma, a methodology she developed to help people come back to wholeness through every layer of their consciousness: spiritual, energetic, psychic, mental, emotional, physical.This conversation is rich with practical teaching. Ravelle shares her three non-negotiable starting practices for anyone beginning this work, the crucial difference between non-attachment and detachment, why regulation has nothing to do with being calm all the time, and why a client's body always knows whether or not they are safe with the person holding space for them.Here you'll learn:Why anxiety is a reliable signal that you are holding energy that isn't yours and what to do about itRavelle's three foundational energy practices: grounding, protection, and calling your energy back — and how to make them work for your specific nervous systemThe Halosoma method: what it is, how it was developed, and why it works so differently from traditional meditation for neurodivergent peopleWhat the spaceship and control panel metaphor actually means, and why having a structure inside your consciousness changes everythingThe difference between non-attachment and detachment, and why one keeps you present and the other shuts you outWhy nervous system regulation is not about being peaceful all the time, and how shortening the return to baseline is the real goalWhy bodies are psychic — and what it means for healers and facilitators to understand that their clients' bodies know whether or not they are safeWhat longevity in healing work actually requires, including why boundaries and orienting to joy are not optionalHow Ravelle works with people one on one, what sessions look like, and what she is building next with her upcoming facilitator trainingThe woman who has spent years trying to fix herself, only to still feel like an imposter in her own body, will hear herself in this conversation. What Ravelle offers is not another program to complete or a level to achieve. It is a return to the only authority that has ever actually known you — your own body, your own consciousness, your own unique way of being in the world. There is no wrong way.Connect with Ravelle Montoura:Website: Learn More HereInstagram: @ravellelauretteOne-on-One CoachingConnect with Kelsey + the Reclamation community:→ Join Remembrance Rising Waitlist — HereBook a Reading with Kelsey — HereInstagram: @kelseyandersonintuitiveYouTube: @KelseyAndersonIntuitiveThemes: clairvoyance, nervous system, somatic healing, neurodivergence, Halosoma, energy hygiene, embodiment, psychic development, non-attachment, functional freeze, boundaries, healer burnout, energy discernment, complex nervous systems

What if the part of you that's been hardest to trust is actually the part that was most dangerous to those in power?Kelsey sits down with Eileen March—midwife turned energy healer, spiritual coach, and self-described witch—for one of the most grounded and historically rich conversations on Reclamation. Eileen's journey began in a marriage that left no room for magic, moved through COVID burnout as a frontline essential worker, and cracked open through a life coaching program she signed up for just to have something to do on her days off. What she found on the other side of all of that was a path back to the land, to her Celtic ancestry, to the Wheel of the Year.This conversation covers real history and real healing. Eileen walks us through the witch trials with care and context, explaining why the wounds they left didn't stay in the past — they live in the way women distrust each other, the way we silence ourselves before anyone can silence us, and the way good girl conditioning runs so deep we forget it's even there. She also offers something rarer: a way back in that doesn't require a cauldron or a spell book. Just curiosity, a cup of tea, and permission to start where you are.Here you'll learn:How Eileen went from self-described atheist to midwife to witch—and why the path wound through burnout, a life coaching program, and a spring equinox she couldn't stop thinking aboutWhat the word witch actually means before the patriarchy got hold of it and why reclaiming it is part of healing something much older than any of usThe real history of the witch trials, how they were designed to break social cohesion among women, and why anyone with European ancestry is carrying that wound in their body right nowWhat the sister wound is, how it shows up in the way women relate to each other today, and why competition between women was literally a survival strategyHow good girl syndrome and the habit of saying "I don't know" when asked what we want are direct legacies of centuries of women being silencedThe Wheel of the Year as a path back to the land and seasonal wisdom — and how even the simplest observation of it can start to shift somethingSimple everyday practices that are already witchcraft: stirring intentions into your morning tea, standing barefoot in the grass, finding the magic in the moments that are already happeningWhy you don't have to add anything to your day to re-enchant your life—and what micro rituals actually look like in a full, busy, very human lifeHow the hysteria narrative is still running today, just with different languageThe woman listening to this has probably already felt the pull toward the land, the seasons, and something older than the world she was handed. This conversation gives that pull a name, a history, and a very gentle door to walk through.Connect with Eileen March:Unleash Your Inner Witch- Doors Open August 25thAutumn Equinox Wheel of The Year CeremonyGrab your free Witch Wound Healing ActivationConnect with Eileen on Instagram: @iameileenmarchFollow Eileen on Insight Timer:(https://insighttimer.com/iameileenmarch\)Subscribe to Eileen on Substack: https://wisewildwomanhearth.substack.com/Email to get in touch: [email protected] mentioned:If Women Rose Rooted by Sharon Blackie — Find it hereHow to Kill a Witch — LinkThe Seven Deadly Sins and the Price Women Pay to Be Good by Elise Loenan —Find it hereSteal Like an Artist by Austin Kleon — LinkConnect with Kelsey + the Reclamation community:→ Join Remembrance Rising Waitlist — HereBook a Reading with Kelsey — HereInstagram: @kelseyandersonintuitiveYouTube: @KelseyAndersonIntuitiveJoin us for VeilFall- Four Day Immersive Women’s Retreat on the cusp of SamhainThemes: witch wound, the wheel of the year, Celtic ancestry, witch trials, sister wound, good girl syndrome, re-enchantment, self-trust, decolonizing, everyday magic, divine feminine, spiritual awakening, midwifery, burnout, reclamation
