June 2025 Intuitive Reading
When the card for this month fell out of the deck I immediately felt like a set of heavy curtains has been pushed back in a puff of dust to reveal the bright morning light… This month things are about to get LIGHTER After (what feels like) a hard first half of this year, June is coming in…
What if One Thing Could Heal Everything?
Sometimes I get overwhelmed with all the healing it feels like I need to do in this lifetime— healing my body, my nervous system, the land, my lineage, my ancestors… But then I step outside and the perfume of the wild roses makes me melt. I eat a handful of lemon balm leaves as a…
Miracle Plant Healing Stories

Which is just another way of asking: what is my soul asking me to do?? Because when…
I made some memes!
I made my first-ever video memes this week. I don’t normally try to keep up with social media trends (it reminds me of trying to keep up with the track kids when we had to run the mile in gym class—not gonna happen) but I had the idea to film these earlier this week and…
