We’re getting grounded this week— this episode starts off with Mikayla guiding a longer meditation than usual, focused on grounding (3:10-15:40). After that, we are talking about Mercury Retrograde miscommunications and some wild things happening with the cicada’s this year— their patterns appear strangely connected to solar eclipse locations! Then, Mikayla gives a health update and talks about how difficult the process of advocating for herself and health has been. She continues to unpack the reflections this health crisis have brought up within her in terms of deepening her connection with her body and feeling shame for this “dis-ease” coming about.

Has a loved one ever thought you were in a cult?! Let’s get into it! This week, Mikayla talks more about her time in the healing ring with the horses at Eagle’s Eye Ranch (@linkingawareness on IG) (7:00). It entails a wild encounter with someone (who has never even met her!) that had a dream about saving her life in battle. We also talk about Mikayla’s mom finally visiting this ranch, and meeting her new spiritual community, after having worries that Mikayla was in a cult (27:50). Finally, we get into an eye-opening conversation about feeling joy in life, and pushing our emotional scale past “peace” into more “play” and “joy” (47:36).

This week, we are talking about how to go further inward when physical imbalances, in the form of health crises, present themselves. After grounding in (which includes a mini-drum ceremony!), Mikayla opens up about some recent health problems she has been dealing with (12:58). She talks about the kind of existential thoughts it has brought up, and how she has dealt with tuning into her body to understand what the energetic root cause may be. We also talk about a trip she took to the energy healing ranch with horses, Eagles Eye Ranch (@linkingawareness on IG), and some interesting things that happened during her visit around healing this health problem.

On this episode, Alyssa opens up about how she recently did a self-guided EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) tapping session to move and release energy. The issues she tapped on are related to triggers from her time in academia surrounding making mistakes, authority figures, and others not trusting her due to mistakes. We describe the process of tapping and Mikayla talks about her own experiences with it. Ultimately, these healing modalities allow us to close the loop on stories from our past and claim the present and future moments from a place of empowerment.
