Have you ever entered a room and immediately felt a sense of calm and safety?

➡️ Why designing for your nervous system is more than a luxury—it’s a necessity.

Have you ever wondered what myths would sound like if the plants told the story? In this episode, I sit down with ecofeminist researcher and myth-reweaver Wendy Wuyts to explore how storytelling can reshape our relationship with plants, complexity, and ourselves.

Together, we uncover the value of deep listening, narrative intelligence, and rewilded storytelling as tools for healing, resistance, and reconnection in a fragmented world.

If you’re someone who lives between science and spirit, between research and ritual—this episode will feel like home.

Topics Covered about mythology and ecofeminism
➡️ Why myth and narrative are vital tools for healing trauma and reshaping cultural memory.
➡️ How ecofeminist retellings center plants as conscious agents in ancient stories.
➡️ What the Tree of Duality and Snake archetypes reveal about complexity, knowledge, and power.
➡️ The importance of slow hope and multidimensional storytelling in conscious evolution.

I’ve been sitting with this episode for a while. Honestly, it scared me—because it asked me to revisit my past relationship with anger and how I’ve transformed it. For a long time, I either lashed out or shut down. I didn’t know how to express criticism without burning bridges—or how to fight for what mattered without destroying everything in my path.

In this episode, I explore how nature helped me reframe anger—not as a reaction, but as a sacred spark. Plants like kudzu, dandelion, and mistletoe taught me that taking up space, standing firm, or even disrupting the ecosystem can be acts of deep service. It’s not about balance—it’s about flow. Compassion and strength are not opposites. And righteous anger can be a force for regeneration.

Let’s talk about mastering your fire—so you don’t burn it all down, but light the path forward.

Topics Covered about anger and personal growth
➡️ Suppressing anger is not the same as choosing peace
➡️ Nature uses aggression strategically—so can we
➡️ Righteous anger is a sacred motivator, not a weapon
➡️ Plants teach us how to disrupt and rebuild in harmony

This conversation with Penelope Mavor took an unexpected—and beautiful—turn. We set out to talk about land-based leadership and Earth connection... and instead uncovered the deeper threads of solitude, sovereignty, and the paradox of being “solo together.”

Penelope and I reflect on our own practices, the myths of separateness, and why solitude isn't about isolation—it’s about reconnection.

This one’s for the sensitive leaders, the multipotentialites navigating inner noise, and anyone who’s forgotten that stillness is also a superpower.

➡️ “Solo Together” is a model for wholeness: sovereign AND interconnected.
➡️ Nature helps us attune without overwhelm—by softening into presence.

The most powerful transformations often start with the simplest questions.

In this episode, I explore one of the most essential, yet overlooked, relationships in our lives—the one we have with food and the land it comes from.

Together with Samantha Jewel, we unpack how carbon in the soil is not just about climate—it's about connection, health, and the future of our ecosystem.

We talk about plant intelligence on a systems level—how carbon sequestration, nutrient density, and farmer consciousness all co-create the future.

And we ask the deeper questions: What if beauty wasn’t the measure of food quality? What if joy and relationship were?

Topics Covered about Conscious Food Choices and Regenerative Food Systems
➡️ The link between soil carbon, nutrient density, and plant-human co-creation.
➡️ Why the consciousness of the farmer affects the vitality of the land.
➡️ The myth of "organic" as a guarantee of health.
➡️ How the food we eat reflects our collective values and relationships.

What if death wasn’t an ending, but an invitation to evolve?

In this episode, I sit down with Munay, a visionary medicine woman who brings together ancient wisdom and quantum science to explore the cellular essence of life and death.

We dive deep into what it means to die every day—not in fear, but as an act of regeneration and reprogramming. Together, we explore the sacred role of self-responsibility, the invisible threads of mycelial connection (both Earthly and celestial), and how working with plants reveals truths about who we really are.

You’ll hear stories of Aloe Vera as a boundary-setting mentor, the concept of energetic placentas, and the way plants gently guide us to reclaim our essence. This episode is rich with perspective-shifting insight and gentle power.

Feeling a shift within? This might be the transformation you’ve been sensing.

Tap into this powerful conversation and explore the wisdom your body and the natural world already know.

Topics Covered about Cellular Transformation and Death Cycles
➡️ Embrace death as a natural and essential part of evolution—personally and collectively
➡️ Plants as co-regulators, mirrors, and mentors for self-responsibility and presence
➡️ The role of the “energetic placenta” and mycelial networks in transmitting wisdom
➡️ How daily micro-deaths release old patterns and nourish new growth

What happens when you give plants a visual voice in the digital world? In this episode, I talk with Sophie Gardner, a pioneering artist who creates stunning visual and audio expressions generated directly from plant data.

Our conversation explores the deep interconnection between plants, creativity, and technology—and how plants can inform our artistic processes in ways we never imagined. Sophie shares how plants “doodle” in 3D space, create abstract self-portraits, and even orchestrate bird-song-like soundscapes. This is more than art—it's co-creation at a new level of consciousness.

We also talk about rest, resilience, and soft power in a world addicted to constant output. There’s wisdom here for all of us trying to live more present, connected lives—especially if you're a nature-inspired creative, artist, or visionary.

This one will expand your mind and nourish your soul. 🌱💫

Topics Covered about Plant-Generated Art
➡️ How plants create visual “self-portraits” through live-coded systems
➡️ Why presence, not performance, is central to creative evolution
➡️ Rest as a form of natural intelligence
➡️ The role of plant co-creation in future-focused genres like solarpunk and ecopunk
