My guest on the pod today is Nikko Miyatake. He is the owner of Nikoko Cacao and Maya Superfoods. His deep immersion in the world of cacao includes six months of intensive training with a shaman in Guatemala, amplifying his understanding of cacao's spiritual and healing properties.

IN this episode, you’ll hear How Nikko got into cacao, what it means to work with the plant, One hour 22 min he talks about his cacao.

As an embodiment coach, cacao has been an excellent ally for me. It is important for me to have high quality, well sourced products, especially if I’m using them in personally transformative ways. Nikko’s definitely makes the cut.

But, this episode isn’t all about cacao. Nikko shares his reclamation story, taking this podcast back to its roots. We chat about his experience within a cult, how he got out and how that experience led him to discover a sense of worth within himself rather than deriving it externally.

Nikko's message is centered on healthy skepticism, responsibility for self, and the importance of fundamentals.

Hey, hey Reclamation Fam!

This episode is the first Panel episode on The Reclamation.

I welcome in 3 Mothers, Carly, Kelly and Gervase.

Together, these 3 mothers span 25+ years of unique AND similar Mothering journeys, bringing in insightful anecdotes, experience and inspired wisdom to this episode.

This episode gleans it's goodness from questions gathered from communities, my own experiences and the internet, some of which I've been dying to ask like: 'Do you ever want to quit?'

Carly, Kelly and Gervase really deliver in this episode, validating the individual challenges we experience, the MASSIVE importance of caring for yourself and doing things your way, and allowing the good, the bad and the ugly to all be a PART of the experience.

Wishing you and yours' a blessed Mother's Day.

If Mother's Day presents challenging emotions for you, I encourage you to turn your heart toward celebrating the great care taker of us all, Mother Earth!

Enjoy the episode!
