I had the wonderful chance to sit down with Hannah Custis (a fellow fairy tale/myth enthusiast) to discuss the fairy tale "The Frog King", which is the lesser known version of "The Princess and the Frog". 🐸
We talk about the cultural and societal perspectives of fairy tales, Jungian symbolism, and our own personal take on the fairy tale. ✨
We used WonderLit (a spectacular fairy tale/story course) on our own to delve deeper into this fairy tale. I mention it in the podcast, and as promised here is a link if you are interested:
https://wonderlit.com/about-wonderlit/#about-courses
I also mention 2 wonderful fairy tale collections:
"Tatterhood and Other Tales" and "The Maid of the North" by Edith Johnston Phelps
https://www.amazon.com/Tatterhood-Other-Tales-Johnston-Phelps/dp/0912670509
https://www.amazon.com/Maid-North-Feminist-Tales-Around/dp/0805006796/ref=sr_1_3?qid=1690855216&refinements=p_27%3AEthel+Johnston+Phelps&s=books&sr=1-3&text=Ethel+Johnston+Phelps
And here is a link to the wonderful talk by Marina Warner (feminist fairy tale scholar), that we also mention in the podcast:

Information to Hannah Custis's podcast will be updated here as soon as she publishes it!

This is a unique guided imagery meditation that will bring you on an adventure through a majestic hedge maze! 🌳
At the end of this maze you will be reunited with a purpose and sense of meaning that is very important to you, but somewhere along the way you were made to believe that it didn't matter or was useless.
This meditation will allow you to reunite with this purpose and bring that meaning back with you into your waking life! ✨

In this discussion I talk with friend and naturopathic doctor Mariko Spalding about the symptoms, contributing factors, and treatment approaches to PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome). She is a licensed naturopathic doctor in the Seattle area who specializes in PCOS.
**DISCLAIMER: Everything we talk about here is NOT medical advice! We acknowledge that every person is unique and if you have been diagnosed with PCOS or suspect you might have it, it is imperative that you find a doctor who can diagnose and treat you depending on your individual needs.**
We also discuss environmental toxins and how we avoid certain products, tips for regulating glucose, and views on life coaching/therapy, but this is not meant to be a universal rule for everyone! Please listen to this podcast understanding that we are simply discussing our personal experiences and history, and should not automatically be applied to all listeners.

Dr. Mariko Spalding is a wonderful naturopathic doctor and massage therapist who considers the mindbody and holistic approach when addressing PCOS in women. She can be reached at her website below:

This meditation brings you to a room in your imagination which symbolizes an aspect of your life you'd like to work with today. The conscious aspects of this part of you will be revealed, as well as one Shadow aspect (unconscious) that is heavily influencing your life. ✨
Through this guided imagery exercise, you will be able to integrate this Shadow part and transform the room that represents an aspect of your life.

This meditation brings you to a magical forest that will ground you into it's safe space so you can express and hold these emotions of feeling lost, hopeless, sad, and defeated.
We often unconsciously push these feelings away because we don't feel safe with them. Yet when we suppress them, they tend to fester and gain even more energy. By allowing them to be expressed without taking over, and providing space and compassion for them, we give them permission to pass through. ✨
At the end of this meditation you will receive a message from your innermost Self. One of support, grace, and love. 💜

This meditation first walks you through a grounding breathwork routine to prepare you for working with possibly uncomfortable emotions.
**It might be helpful to do this meditation after working with a therapist or coach on a particular place in your life where you feel a lot of resentment and bitterness building up.**
This meditation will give you an opportunity to work through a buildup of resentment and bitterness in your life. You will dialogue and connect with this part of you in order to understand it and free the attachment you have to it. ✨
If you would like to pursue more in-depth work from a Jungian and mindbody perspective, you can contact me through my website or email below and we can set up a free Discovery Call:
