In this episode, I explain why I decided to stop shampooing, conditioning, and "doing" my hair. Follow me on the gram to see the photos of hair past and present! As a youngster, my hair was always forced into braids by my grandmother and mother. "Beaty is pain," I was told after I told them it hurt to have my scalp yanked around with a comb. There is no pain in my beauty. Beauty is my natural state and I embrace that through my current hair style of 100% free form locs.

Question: How do I deal with toxic (platonic) relationships in the workplace without spiritual bypass? If you're taking steps to spiritual growth and you experience a situation, person, or manifestation that's less than ideal, it might be easy to simply ignore negative triggers. People on the spiritual path often feel like they can't experience negative emotions. This is not true. We call this spiritual Bypass, and it can directly hinder your spiritual growth journey. In this episode I discuss: What is Spiritual Bypass, Why it's important to avoid spiritual bypass when you're on a self-growth journey/ hoping to manifest your best life, How to know if you're Bypassing, A step-by-step process for resolving toxic (platonic) relationships, How negative/toxic situations can be used to enhance or guide your manifestation journey. Looking forward to your thoughts and "aha" moments!

Farewell Wander Well | Hello Namaste Podcast

As a child, Sarah Wu Spent a lot of time outside making friends with animals, trolls, and flowers. As an angry 90's art kid she naturally wanted to challenge her Catholic upbringing. She actually preferred the teachings and practices that honored feminine power as well as masculine. Because it's all about balance! It didn't take Sarah very long to realize she was indeed, a Witch. But not the witch you might think. She isn't out to steal your money, life, beauty or anything like that. Think more along the lines of Glinda the Good Witch from The Wizard of Oz, but here to help along your wellness journey. Sarah is a wise herbal medicine woman residing in the Southern Caribbean coast of Costa Rica at Punta Mona, a beachfront botanical collection and permaculture farm. At Punta Mona Center Sarah is the Director and Educational Curator. She is also one of the Co-Founders of Envision Festival, a celebration dedicated to awakening our human potential. The festival takes place in the next town over from where I'm currently living in Costa Rica so I was very excited to chat with Sarah about the intention and operation behind the festival. Sarah and I also discuss her tough journey with in-vitro fertilization. If you're considering in-vitro for your family, you're going to want to listen to Sarah's advice and personal experience. We talk all about the placebo effect in healing practices, walking the self-healing path as a healer, the murder of innocent women during the witch trials, exploitation of plants for medicine, lessons from off-grid living, and practicing non-attachment as a retreat facilitator. For those of you plant loving, meditating, wandering collections of light and love out there who want to hear from The Village Witch herself, you're in the right place! I also have a BIG announcement to share at the end of this episode so be sure to stick around until the very end! If you do, YOU get to be a part of the future of Wander Well Podcast!

Carlee Brignole is on a mission to empower kids through mindfulness practices. Her afterschool program, Mindful Energy, will equip kids with the tools they need to tackle life's biggest challenges, including stress management, depression, and anxiety. Growing up, Carlee didn't have the support system she needed to effectively manage the stresses of life and it's her goal to be who she needed when she was a kid. Listen to this episode to learn how Carlee is putting together the curriculum, what inspired her to create Mindful Energy in the first place, and how her journey has shaped her into an activator of change. Carlee is one of my best friends. We met at yoga teacher training in 2015 and have been besties ever since. 10% of Wander Well Podcast + Wander Well Academy revenue will go to getting Mindful Energy started through their operational and promotional costs. Wander Well has always been bigger than me, and now it's being used to empower the next generation as well!
