Welcoming New Horizons, as We Near a Moment of Birth
In this episode, we conclude season 1 and share that we’ll be taking a break from Sacred Conversations, as we open into some other directions calling to us. For Nicole, this includes The Purple Couch, an upcoming podcast she’s creating for therapists and, in her own words, “anyone on their journey doing the deeper work.” She’ll also remain engaged with her book, The Art of Chaos, as it moves closer to publication. For Robin, this includes her writing, and a growing desire to help build more l...

The Beautiful Wilds of Being Seen
In this episode, we reflect on this notion, and reality, of being seen, in a variety of ways. It’s been about one year since we recorded our first episode of Sacred Conversations, which is one new way we are experiencing being seen. And so this seemed like a well-timed moment for reflection. In our conversation, we focus on this podcast, though we also hold a larger context in our minds and hearts (and some of those notes are mentioned in the episode's introduction). Robin also ta...

Creativity, Connection, and the Sacred in Stark Silhouette, with Josh Booton
In this episode, we’re joined by Josh Booton, an award-winning poet, singer/songwriter with the band Mercy Giant, and speech language pathologist. In a rich, ranging conversation, we open into Josh’s process creating poetry and making music, his drive to empathetically connect, and how he finds moments of transcendence lit largest through contrast. This takes us, too, into a wider discussion of making art, feeling the sacred, and tapping into the unseen world. Threaded through it all: a sense...

Crescendos and Whispers, of Ending and Beginning
In this episode, we return to our energetic sense of being at a precipice, still moving, intricately, in the dark; yet now in the loudest and quietest notes of completion, and beginning. We talk of trust, and the knowing and unknowing moving us. We talk of the intensity of change we feel around the corner, and one destined threshold this long journey is taking so many of us across, preparing us to give our deepest gifts. We also talk of upcoming new projects we’re each excited about—for...

At the Precipice, in a Luminous Dark
In this episode, we begin in lightness then move to intensity: talking of how in this moment of time, we’ve come to stand at a precipice, with gathering crescendo, in what feels like last (and beginning) notes of wild and deep stories. Nicole shares pieces of where this multi-year period has ultimately led her, into a new embodied nervous-system-level okayness, that grounds her in herself even through chaos. And also, into a knowing that she’s meant to help others build an inner archite...

Soulmates, Mirrors, and Sacred Knowing, with Anniston Riekstins
In this episode, we speak with Anniston Riekstins, a master numerologist, a transformational mentor to women, and someone who, beautifully, believes we all carry codes of remembrance for each other. Anniston shares how her life has been radically, radiantly defined by following an inner knowing that has, again and again, pushed her beyond the limits of her logical mind into a life she loves—and she brings forward one story in particular, of the life-changing choice that ultimately led her int...

Grounding into Intuition, with Gwyneth Flack
In this episode, we speak with Gwyneth Flack, a warm, wise intuitive guide who dedicates much of her work in the world to helping people connect to their intuitive and creative powers. We talk of sacred stories and thresholds she experienced in her own relationship with energy, intuition, and awareness—including one near-death experience she had at four years old—and we also touch on some of the tools she uses to help others develop these spaces in their lives. Gwyneth brought beautiful groun...

In Deep, Wild-Hearted Community
In this episode, we touch on some of what has been meeting us in the last months, with Robin briefly sharing a few broad notes before we turn to a profound gift Nicole has recently experienced: stepping into deep, soulful community with a group of women at a retreat for mothers of kids with autism. This life-changing experience offered a homecoming, allowing Nicole to be seen and held in all her fullness and all her sacred wild. And as she felt her own belonging with these remarkable women, s...

"The Inner Work" and Moving from Fragmentation to Wholeness
In this episode, we revisit our earlier conversation on wholeness and paths of transformation, to add a few thoughts we felt were initially missing! Robin returns to language we hear so often in psycho-spiritual spaces: “doing the inner work,” a phrase often used to generally describe moving through difficult inner places in ways that lead to transformation. To Robin, this phrase often feels fitting, like when people seek more structured containers or deliberate processes to help them heal an...

Initiations and Openings, with Andrew Monroe Rice
In this episode, we speak with Andrew Monroe Rice, a novelist, a poet, and a spiritual mentor. Andrew has moved through addiction and recovery, sacred life passages and descents, and experiences within men’s work that broke him wide open—and through this, he discovered an inner gold he has poured into art and the life around him. In our conversation, he shares notes from his journey, including his time first opening into, and later helping facilitate, men’s rites of passage: a sacred containe...

Crossing into Summer Light
In this episode, we greet the Solstice with conversation around the energies of the moment. We talk of our lives, and a once-every-twelve-years astrological movement that radiates care: the planet of growth and abundance, Jupiter, entering the nourishing sign of Cancer, where it will remain for the next year. During a time of turbulence, breakdown, and release, we welcome the notes of warmth both this transit and the growing sunshine suggest, and hope you feel them too, in waves of Solstice b...

The Practical and Spiritual Support of Astrology, with Leah Ray Rupp
In this episode, we’re joined by Leah Ray Rupp, a soul-centered astrological coach who helps people learn to connect the movements of the skies to the cycles of energy in their own lives. Our conversation began by looking at Leah’s own journey into astrology and human design, which brought us to how astrology can specifically support parents, and especially parents of neurodivergent kids. We then zoomed out to touch on some energies of this unfolding moment, and take a Leah-guided trip round ...

The Art of Chaos
In this episode, we celebrate Nicole’s completion of the draft for her book, currently titled The Art of Chaos: A Memoir of Motherhood, Trauma, and Transformation. In our conversation, we explore the path she traveled in writing the story—and living it out—as what began as an integrated tale of the Maiden archetype moved into a messy, still-evolving tale of the Mother. In Nicole’s case, a mother of neurodivergent children who was caught in difficult, complex currents of marriage, family, and ...

Stories of Legacy and Longing, with Dr. John Beradino
In this episode, we speak with depth psychologist Dr. John Beradino, who shares a sacred story touching forward and backward in time—from his family and the dreams they lived and ached for, to where he felt called to walk forward on his own, following a call he couldn't yet see. Our conversation moves from here to also explore notes of depth psychology, the container of story, the sacred posture of faith, and our lives as a possibility of homecoming, remembrance, a returning to the fullness o...

On Wholeness and Transformation, with Nicole and Robin (Part 1)
In this episode, we look at some of the language and ideas we often center on: notions of wholeness and paths of inner transformation. We share—imperfectly—how we each hold wholeness, which is more shape than definition. And we wind our way through various paths of transformation, which can sometimes involve intentionally seeking containers and guides that invite and support inner alchemy, and can sometimes reflect more a way of being, an opening into life and the depth of feelings we need to...

Beginnings, with Nicole and Robin
In this first episode, we—Nicole and Robin—introduce ourselves and how we move through the world, by each sharing one sacred story from our lives. Robin shares a story from a world ago, sixteen years past, and Nicole shares a story that she's living in now.
