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!

What is up everyone!?

This episode comes packed with chatter about the power of community, the unpredictability of birth (and life!), and the deep wisdom found in self-trust. We talk about trusting the journey, and why building a strong support system isn’t just helpful—it’s necessary.

Key Takeaways:
- Change & growth are inevitable—embrace them.

-The parallel between birth and life’s unpredictability
-A strong support system creates a more harmonious future for everyone.
- Trusting yourself is crucial in both motherhood and life’s biggest moments.
-Women thrive when they support each other in all stages of life, and how that impacts the collective.
-Asking for help is not a weakness—it’s wisdom.

We live in a society that has become disconnected from its roots—disconnected from the wisdom of the body, from intimacy that feels safe, and from the power of fully embodied presence. For so many of us, it's been safer to live from the neck up—thinking, analyzing, performing—while the rest of us, the parts that feel, move, and desire, have been conditioned into silence.

This series is an invitation to reawaken the whole body. To unlearn the fear, shame, and disconnection that keep us from trusting ourselves and experiencing intimacy in its fullest, most life-giving form. Through the lens of somatic experiencing and tantric embodiment, we’ll explore what it means to truly feel at home in ourselves, to reclaim our pleasure and power, and to build relationships that honor our deepest truths.

This is not just about sex. This is about presence, aliveness, and reclaiming the sacred connection to our bodies.

____________________________________________

Topics from Episode 1 :

-Safety in our body, why it's important

-The signals our body sends that it feels open, allowed, loved

-Atunement, a deep listening

-Being comfortable in our Trauma Response

Tools from Episode 1:

-Become present by slowing down and getting curious

-Take inventory of your trauma responses

-Take inventory of who you feel safe around, what does that mean for you, what are your criteria? Then asses your findings...is this safety or a result of conditioning, shame or pain?

This weeks guest Joy Curtis brings to the conversation an insightful perspective on culture, what it means to be human and how we are all alike, yet at the same time, we are different and shouldn’t seek to change those differences or even to have the need to be where we don’t need to be. An alternate view on unity, where there exists within unity the allowance of being different, allowing the other to remain other.

The conversations jumping off point stems from Joy’s art, specifically her series of Native American sketches she did for Native American Heritage Month back in Nov. You can find those pieces linked in the show notes.

In this series, Joy sought to capture how we are all human in the same ways. She shares the wisdom she has gleaned from her experience with this series and through her lived life with the Dine…also more commonly know as the Navajo Nation.

Hey everyone! In this episode, I dive deeper into the concepts discussed in episode 44, with Kimber Dutton.

In this episode I talk about the need to control-

How the need to control comes from a place of fear.

How we can notice it's rising by signals our body sends.

What to do about it.

I give some step by step examples of how to talk yourself off the cliff in times of 'reaction', so you can step into a more aligned response.

An 'Of The Moment" episode:

Join Kimber and I as we talk about the hero's journey, landing on topics like being in the deep woods of life, the darkness and the light within that space, as well as the rebirth that begins to happen when the woods begin to thin.

We talk about surrender and allowing what is, and our experiences of being present, highlighting the beauty of finding purpose in everyday moments and the freedom that comes from releasing control over another’s journey.

This episode really highlights elements of an enriched life experience that comes from being connected. Connected to body, connected to earth, connected to each other and ancestry. Connection starts in the root!

Stephanie talks about ‘pulling up’ our energetic roots when we are in trauma, a really beautiful metaphor connecting us to how nature also works.

Puling up our own roots keeps us from connection to the earth and keeps us from interconnectedness with our various communities...with others.

We also chat about natural cycles and the many benefits of learning and following them.

Stephine Burg is a Somatic and Soul Healing Guide. She is in service to help women reclaim their innate wisdom, and root

into collective change. She also holds retreats, plant medicine ceremonies and guides in trauma integration. You can find her with the links below.
