After taking a four year break on his Oklahoma ranch, Blake Shelton is back on the road and riding the high of his new album, For Recreational Use Only . After 29 number one hits, and a detour into Hollywood, Blake’s scorching hot single “Texas” proves he’s still got it. Country Thunder CEO Troy Vollhoffer recalls meeting Blake Shelton during a crazy storm that really put the “thunder” in Country Thunder. After 23 seasons on The Voice , Blake opens up about spreading himself thin and making the choice to be “a TV guy or a touring guy.” The two reminisce about Toby Keith and why being a road dog is the best way to learn how to entertain a crowd. Blake reveals how his worst on-stage “ass-kicking” taught him how to be himself in front of a crowd. After taking so much time away from the spotlight, Blake shares that it was Post Malone who reminded him that he’s still a country singer at heart.…

She guides nature-based healing experiences and runs Organism Thinking, a consultancy bringing ecological intelligence to brands. She recently launched placebased.org to support bioregional initiatives. Our paths first crossed in a women’s circle in 2019 and recently intertwined again through the algorithm of Substack.

In today’s episode, I am joined by Carmen Spagnola - a Le Cordon Bleu-trained chef turned trauma recovery practitioner, clinical hypnotherapist, and kitchen witch. She first appeared on the Belonging podcast two years ago for the release of her first book. Now, she’s back to celebrate her second book coming out: ‘Spells for the Apocalypse: Practical Magic for Turbulent Times’, which offers practical tools for navigating turbulent times and emphasizes the importance of community and resilience in the face of overwhelming challenges. As a chef, author, and facilitator, Carmen holds space for renewal amidst turmoil. Her work is an invitation to re-enchantment, soul nourishment, and a deeper and more animistic relationship to the natural world. In our conversation, we reflect on the significant life changes we both have experienced in this past two years. We re-explore the concept of collapse and its emotional and psychological impacts on individuals and communities. We discuss the importance of surrendering to change, cultivating satisfaction in the present and the art of navigating grief and beauty in life’s challenges.

In today’s episode, I am joined by Jessie Harrold, a coach, doula and author of ‘Mothershift: Reclaiming Motherhood as a Rite of Passage’. A couple of years ago, I followed Jessie’s course by the same name and it held me deeply in the depths of my postpartum identity shift. This conversation dives deep in the process of matrescence, the part community plays in this and how, as mothers, we can learn to become recipients of care in ways we don’t always see portrayed online. Tune in to hear more from us on: The concept of Mothershift and how to navigate this identity shift postpartum Community as the mother power and how motherhood is shifting people away from hyper individualism What it means for us to be reproductively hyperburdened as humans Menopause and the grandmother hypothesis Postpartum depression and experiencing maternal rage Experiencing a nourishment barrier in receiving care and support and the myth of being perfectly resourced Performing vulnerability on social media The impact of having a baby on relationships and how heteronormativity plays a role in this Resources + Links Episode 78 of the Belonging podcast with Jessie Harold on Non-Linear Reciprocity Jessie’s book ‘Mothershift: Reclaiming Motherhood as a Rite of Passage’ Jessie’s podcast Becoming, season 6 episode 7, with Mara Glatzel and myself on Mothershift Mara Glatzel’s book ‘Needy: How to Advocate for Your Needs and Claim Your Sovereignty’ Episode 101 of the Belonging podcast on Delayed Postpartum Depression + Rage Episode 127 of the Beloning podcast with Amelia Hruby on Social Media for the Anxiously Attached My book, Root and Ritual: Timeless Ways to Connect to Land, Lineage, Community, and the Self Connect with me on Instagram @beccapiastrelli Timestamps [0:00] The Mothershift and Matrescence [16:14] Navigating Postpartum Emotions: Rage and Acceptance [19:10] Social Media's Role in Motherhood Narratives [20:11] Cultural Expectations and the Reality of Motherhood [30:37] The Importance of Community in Motherhood [44:42] Navigating Under-Resourced Care & The Nourishment Barrier [50:10] The Impact of Parenthood on Relationships…
In today’s episode, I am joined by Stevie Storck, founder of the Cross Quarter Club, a creative seasonal living community focused on gardening and nature connection. When Stevie and I first connected through my circle facilitation training Circle Craft, she introduced me to the concept of the Sharing Table, a tradition that encourages community members to share resources and foster connections. We both share our experiences with this meaningful way of community building and also explore what it means to right-size creative ambitions to fit personal responsibilities. Tune in to hear more from us on: The origins of the Cross Quarter Club and the Sharing Table Weaving ancestral traditions into modern communities How the Sharing Table reflects a larger movement towards community care How creating community involves being the kind of community you want to see How embracing the reality of caregiving can inform and enrich creative work The challenges we, as millennials, face when it comes to cultivating community How right-sizing creative work is crucial for sustainability and fulfillment How simplicity and being limited in time and resources can enhance creative endeavours Stevie is an alumni of Circle Craft, my circle facilitation training, which as of now is available on demand.

Immersing myself deeply in the season of Summer here on the East coast has meant that I went on a little hiatus when it comes to sharing about my journey with moving my whole family across the country, purchasing land, learning farming, building community, and everything else. So, for this episode, I asked my friend Sarah Wildeman, who’s been a beloved guest on the podcast before, to interview me about what has been present in my life in this season. I’m on the cusp of the anniversary of our move from the West coast to our farm in the Hudson Valley and my relationship with this land and the community around me is ever evolving, changing, sometimes challenging and very much deepening. Tune in to hear more from us on: The importance of choosing to be present and slowing down in order to fully connect with the land and community The challenges and tensions that arise when building community in a new place The process of letting go of old identities and finding a new sense of purpose and worth The ongoing journey of grappling with challenges and staying true to oneself Reconnecting with the land requires trust in intuition and working with the energy of the seasons Supporting each other through transitions and embracing different roles in a relationship is essential Embodying generosity and celebrating differences in partnership allows for flourishing Resources + Links Episode 118 with Sarah Wildeman: “Community Living Wherever You Are” Episode 121 with Hillarie Maddox: “WTF did I just do?

In today’s episode, I am joined by Lara Vesta, author of ‘The Year of the Dark Goddess’ and ‘The Moon Divas Guidebook’ (among other titles). In this conversation, we explore navigating difficult rites of passage, learning its culture through myths, fairytales and other symbolism and calling in our webs of support - whether they be human, spiritual, animal, plant or otherwise. Lara offers us tools and insights how we can empower and transform ourselves through the processes of grief and fear, drawing from ancestral traditions and the wisdom of the Dark Goddess.

In today’s episode, I am joined by my friend Gemma Brady of ‘Sister Stories’ to explore our mutual passion of sharing circle work. One of Gemma’s mission is to make going to circle as common as going to yoga class and in this conversation, she shares how she approaches circle as a living, breathing art form. She shares vulnerably about how she experienced her second pregnancy and how circle, both as a participant and a facilitator, sustained her most through that time. Above all, this conversation is an invitation to everyone who feels the call to do circle work to explore their own unique expression and what it means to them to devote themselves to the heart of the practice. Tune in to hear more from us on: How to find your own unique style of circle work Challenging assumptions about the aesthetic, scale and framework of circle How circle can foster meaningful connections and compassion How circle is medicine, and an opportunity for personal growth, for the facilitator too Preserving integrity in circle work while allowing it to evolve Releasing the idea of hierarchy and competition within this work Resources + Links Lead unforgettable circles that satisfy your soul — so you can unleash your magic in the world: join my free workshop ‘High Lady’ on May 22nd .

1 The Call For The Village Aunties & Supporting Girls In Rites Of Passage With Johannah Reimer 46:49
In today’s episode, I am joined by Johannah Reimer to talk about holding circle for our girls and the female-bodied youth that are in our lives. Johannah is a soulcentric educator, ceremonialist, teen mentor, and an artist of many trades. Trained as a Waldorf teacher, Johannah has been working with children of all ages for over 20 years and holds a particular passion for tweens/teens striving to meet their developmental needs for mentorship and initiation in a culture that has forgotten how to do so. Johannah founded Wakeful Nature & Girls Group as a means to fill the initiatory void for girls crossing the threshold of childhood into adolescence with guidance, ceremony, and community. Johannah and I share our passion for the healing that can happen through circling and ceremony and in this conversation I get the change to get nosey about her incredible work facilitating girls groups, the impact this work has on her as a space holder and so much more. Above all, Johannah calls for the ‘village aunties’ to step up, cultivating more awareness around what today’s generation of girls is moving through and weaving together multi-generational embodied wisdom. Tune in to hear more from us on: Remembering how to be village aunties and engage in re-villaging work Creating a safe space for younger girls The challenges faced by girls in today’s society Working with the elements and ancestral remembrance Ritualizing the first bleed and normalizing menstrual cycle awareness through storytelling and archetypes Modeling imperfection and the human experience as a facilitator Allowing the girls to grow capacity within circle Experiencing grief as a facilitator whilst also carving the new path for ritual and ceremony Stepping into our role as matriarchal leaders and how we can move into a post-patriarchal society Resources + Links Find Johannah’s work on wakefulnature.com and Instagram @wakeful.nature Find out more about Johannah’s Girls Group Facilitator training Learn how to craft a meaningful rite of passage for your daughter’s menstrual cycle with Johannah Book: ‘The Anxious Generation’ by Jonathan Haidt My book, Root and Ritual: Timeless Ways to Connect to Land, Lineage, Community, and the Self Connect with me on Instagram @beccapiastrelli Timestamps [0:00] Introduction [09:43] Remembering How to be Village Aunties [12:17] Challenges Faced by Girls in Today's Society [18:00] Creating Safe Spaces for Girls through Long-Term and Ongoing Support [26:48] Social Media Use by Teens and Navigating Belonging and Connection [34:32] Ritualising & Normalising the First Bleed through Ceremony + Ritual [40:22] Being a Girls Group Facilitator [43:47] Moving into a Post-Patriarchal Society…

In today’s episode, I am joined by my friend Amelia Hruby. Amelia is a feminist author, educator, podcaster and founder of Softer Sounds podcast studio (who used to edit this podcast too!). I brought her onto the podcast today specifically because of her amazing podcast ‘Off the Grid’, which is a podcast for small business owners who want to leave social media without losing their clients. Even if you don’t identify as a small business owner - there’s something about what Amelia shares about leaving social media in this episode that transcends it all and will leave you feeling inspired to explore your virtual presence. Amelia opens up about the impact that leaving social media has had on her life and makes the beautiful connection between her patterns of anxious attachment and how that showed up in her virtual presence too. Tune in to hear more from us on: The loneliness that can arrive when leaving social media The struggle of finding community outside of the virtual landscape and finding a sense of belonging without it The need of being seen in this day and age How personal and emotional well-being can be so attached and influenced by our online presence How our seasonal and hormonal cycles can impact our relationship with social media How the platforms are designed to lead us down a path of misinformation, toxic algorithms and capitalism Resources + Links Amelia Hruby’s podcast ‘Off the Grid’ , her website AmeliaHruby.com and her podcasting studio Softer Sounds Amelia’s membership ‘The Interweb’, dedicated to support small business owners move their business off of social media The Off the Grid episode with Nicole Antoinette: ‘How much is Enough: Money & Social Media’ membership ‘interweb’ My book, Root and Ritual: Timeless Ways to Connect to Land, Lineage, Community, and the Self Connect with me on Instagram @beccapiastrelli Timestamps [0:00] Introduction [11:01] The Decision to Leave Social Media [13:16] Anxious Attachment to the Online Sphere [16:37] Life after Leaving Social Media [19:56] Creativity in Business w/o Social Media [20:56] Loneliness and Virtual Community [24:34] Running a Business outside of Social Media [27:27] Finding Community outside of Social Media [29:00] The Need to Feel Seen [36:44] Curation Online [40:40] Aggravation of Wounds of Belonging by Social Media [48:36] The Harmful Ways the Algorithm Preys Upon Vulnerabilities [52:46] The Impact of Culture and the Joy of the Internet [53:41] Bringing Intention, Awareness and Agency to the Virtual Landscape [54:16] Choosing a Different Path and Finding Liberation [54:55] Main Takeaways [56:36] Amelia’s Work and Offerings…
It takes a deep initiation of need for care to get you to shed the layers of hyper individualism and show up as the village. In today’s episode, I get fired up about why the ones who are showing up and arriving on the doorstep with the soup are often the caregivers with a limited capacity themselves. I talk about my own journey with asking for and receiving support, experiencing the power of circle and council and navigating anger and cynicism along the way.

Winter is upon us again in the Northern hemisphere, so this week I’m resharing my episode on rituals for winter. First, I invite you to notice what winter looks and feels like where you live. Because many of us don’t celebrate a “white” Christmas and not everywhere looks like a Bavarian ski village in December. Then, I invite you to notice what winter feels like energetically in your body. Do you feel exhausted and need to hibernate? Or do you experience a deep permission to turn inward and tend to yourself? For me, winter is the Dream Time. And during this period of less light, I embrace the fertile void and doing less. In this episode, I also share my rituals of dream-journalling, being with fire or flame, working with pine essence, winter kitchen magic, sauna or bathing magic, tracking the sunlight, and easeful intention setting.

Hillarie Maddox is the founder of Black Girl Country Living and creator of Rewilding Workshops. In 2020, she and her family left the city for the country without knowing what they were getting into.

While I often talk about mothering on the podcast, it’s been a few seasons since I shared a personal reflection on being a mother. So this episode of Belonging is a solo episode where I open up about my journey with delayed postpartum depression. In this episode, I talk about struggling with anxiety and rage, realizing that I was taking out my anger on my partner, being diagnosed with PPD, trying meds that helped and then didn’t help, microdosing psilocybin to support extended breastfeeding, and finding my way forward with as many questions as answers. This episode was really vulnerable to record and share. My hope is that it helps mamas in a situation like this feel less alone.

We also discuss common questions about circle, such as— how do I find a circle near me? what if I’m an introvert? and what if I feel uncomfortable or unsafe in circle? At its center, this conversation is about how circles can serve us all well. And it’s an invitation to hear if circle is calling you.

A year ago, I almost completely gave up on my work. Emerging from the early years of motherhood and feeling my creative spark again, I felt motivated to get back into the deeper aspects of my sacred work. So, in a flash of creative impulse, I announced a new program to the world in the place we announce things these days: on Instagram. It was received mostly with a good deal of excitement and interest, and…it was also received with some intense criticism - primarily in the form of snarky comments and DMs from complete strangers who were making a lot of assumptions about me. Assumptions without curiosity. Assumptions wrapped in judgment. Over a period of 72 hours, I received wave after wave of comments that felt challenging to hold on my own. In this episode, I tell the story of grief, shame and how being in sacred council helped me heal and grow through this experience. Tune in to hear more from me on: The grief of feeling misunderstood and shamed in a parasocial format, which left me raw and confused. The divine timing of an in-person retreat with an intimate council of women space holders, and the cacao ceremony that held me at my most vulnerable. Emerging lighter and less bothered and leaving that retreat weekend with a renewed vision in the purpose and power of this work I do. Everything I learned from that rupture and the gratitude I feel now for what happened. The one thing that had me not throw in the towel and heal from this experience: being held in a sacred council.

A lot has occurred for me in 2023 - as I think is true for every year, but perhaps this time around it is a little more visible and this is probably why I received the beautiful question of the lessons I’ve learned this past year. So, I am using the reflective energy of the outer and inner season of Winter I’m currently finding myself in and sharing with you, in this episode, the three lessons I have learned over the course of 2023. Tune in to hear more from me on the three lessons I’ve learned this past year: I can do anything, but I can’t do everything. As a multi-passionate manifesting generator with ADHD, I get lit up and motivated by so many new ideas. But how do you navigate that with limited capacity, in a society that glorifies production? A few of my coping strategies are compartmentalizing, sleeping on new ideas, and exploring how I can feel accomplished and satiated by what I do day in day out whilst also taking care of myself. The vision takes time. More time than you think! It’s not for nothing I teach about how slowness can be the antidote to our suffering. I have so much compassion for the me who gets uncomfortable in the liminal, especially around our renovation. I ask myself: ‘Can I make this messy middle feel easeful in some way?’, which is where ritual comes in. Get slow and quiet so I can get clear on my highest priorities. Last year I had the deep realisation that my biggest priority wasn’t my business, or the farm or the renovation. It was my first home: my body, and my health. Even though it was really hard, I learned how to choose to make it my focus to take care of my body on a weekly and daily basis.

I open up to vulnerably reveal some of the grief, the questioning and the spiral of regret that happened when we initially landed on the farm and how we had to really speak the dream alive again each night so that we could move through that resistance. Both Hillarie and I share the trials and triumphs that our rewilding journeys have brought us thus far and the importance of holding a steadfast dedication to the tending of community along the way.

Living in capitalism while not being consumed by it can feel overwhelming and confusing. Today, I’m joined by Bear Hebert (they/them), a feminist and anti-capitalist business coach who helps small business people (and other beloved weirdos) figure out how to build the world-yet-to-come inside the world-that-currently-is. Together, we discuss making space for grieving our own and others’ participation in capitalism, the ways we internalize capitalism and exploit ourselves in our own businesses, and how white supremacy’s penchant for perfectionism plays a big role in it all.

Belonging: Conversations about rites of passage, meaningful community, and seasonal living
If you daydream about purchasing land and relocating to a tiny town far from city life, this episode is the gentle invitation and reality-check you need before taking the leap. Today I’m joined by Alissa Hessler, an author, podcast host, and former corporate tech employee who left the big city to move to a rural community for love. In this episode, we discuss common reasons people choose to leave cities, the importance of being as prepared as possible before moving, and some things to expect if you’re thinking of relocating. We also unpack how the idealized country life we see on Instagram is actually damaging rural communities. And we emphasize the importance of seeking out the communities we enter (even when it feels uncomfortable) and honoring the histories of the lands we inhabit.

She is deeply passionate about re-claiming movement as a way to help regulate our nervous systems, put self-love into practice, and cultivate an internal feeling of power & strength.

Belonging: Conversations about rites of passage, meaningful community, and seasonal living
We’ve all inherited beliefs — those sayings, lessons, and ways of being passed down through the generations and permeate the culture we live in. Often they’re so deeply rooted that we don’t even realize how much they’re affecting us and our ability to weave in with the natural world. In this episode, I delve into some of my own inherited beliefs. And I share my most cherished tools for releasing the ones that don’t serve me. I also explore how the simplest practices like going outside, moving our bodies, cooking our foods, and talking to beloveds can help us heal our nervous systems and reconnect to the earth. I also discuss my upcoming virtual retreat Rewilding the Self happening on March 12th. Join me for ritual, conversation, connection and celebration to reclaim your rooted sense of self. I hope to see you there. Resources: Join the Rewilding the Self Retreat Learn More About Gene Keys Cycle tracking calendars: The Original Cycles Journal The Seasons Within You Do Less Planner…
