i was so nervous and excited with this guest
Dear one,
In these times we find ourselves in, both hope and hopelessness seem like unhelpful prospects.
Hope feels unrealistic when we look at the big picture of our collective trajectory. And hopelessness doesn’t help us get out of bed, tend children, tend the land, care for ourselves and others.
And we do continue to do those things.
We continue to wonder about our purpose and whether we’re living our best lives as our best selves. We continue to dream and create. We continue to have some skin in the game, some sense that there’s something at stake.
In today’s podcast episode, I get to wonder about the power and privilege of being human, how we find our way, and what is really at stake in this game we call Life.
I’m joined in my wondering by one of my teachers, an amazing human who has had a profound impact on my life and journey, Tammy LaDrew.
Tammy is a Life Artist, Writer & Personal Development Coach who teaches people how to live better lives through The Art of Awakening, Wayfinding and Conscious Creation - the art of connecting with their inner inspiration, reclaiming their Spirit, and delivering their creative presence into the world.
The experience of being struck by lightning at the age of 17 initiated Tammy into her journey of sensing energy and the subtle world. The deviations and challenges of that path, and the way she both chose and learned to engage with them, have ultimately brought her into a wisdom journey - one where she can both nurture and hold others (like me!) in loving accountability.
She’s a heart-felt and natural addition to our village fire. And so, here we are.
A rich episode, you’ll hear us explore:
- recognizing the full expression of yourself from the conditioned one;
- a structural framework for understanding how to meet the world soul-soul, not role-to-role;
- why we often end up repelling the things we long for;
- the ‘rules’ of Conscious Wayfinding and how they help us create our lives;
- when your spiritual tools become hypervigilance;
- the privilege, power, and responsibility of being human and creating a world we want to live in;
- what’s actually at stake for us in these conversations;
- the surprising thing that might save humanity…and more.
Gather with us? Awaken with us? Be moved with us?
I hope you will. All of you matters here.
And there’s so much at stake.
Yours in courage and love,
Kate

Dear ones - I hope you had a beautiful Beltane (for those in the Northern Hemisphere - Samhain for those in the Southern) - a time when the veil is thin between this world and the other and life is either at the height of bursting forth or at the beginning of its deepest diminishment. There are times when it feels so grounding to tune into the cycles of the year - nature’s rhythms. And times when the beauty of the continual flow of life feels so dissonant with the happenings of our human...
Dear ones - Happy Full Moon in Scorpio - a time for leaning into the death of things which are ready to release to make way for new life and aliveness. I write to you today from the mountains outside of Santa Fe where the warm sun balances the cold wind as it sighs through the cedars; and the full moon is bright enough to cast shadows while the coyotes yip and howl all night long. There are blooms. And on the highest peaks, there’s also still snow. Today’s podcast episode is a continuation of...
Dear ones - Endings are not as final as linearity would have us believe (although what we are mourning or celebrating the ending of - specific situations, relationships, individuals, etc - may never come back into our lives). Remembering the innate cycles and circularity to life returns us to the wisdom that endings are thresholds. And thresholds come with grief, discomfort, relief, excitement, fear, pain, and pretty much everything else a human can be capable of feeling. We often arrive at a...
