The 50th Episode Listener Q&A: The nervous system, the patriarchy, intuition, and more

For our 50th (yes 50th) episode, we're doing a listener Q&A where we dive into the topics you’ve been asking about most—from spirituality and embodiment to relationships, healing, and everything in between. Because this episode spans so many conversations, it really reflects what this podcast has always been about: nuance, honesty, and real-world spirituality. No perfect answers. No one-size-fits-all frameworks. Just honest dialogue and grounded insight. If you’ve been listening for a while, this episode is a reflection of how far we’ve come together. And if you’re new here, it’s a powerful entry point into the conversations we’re having. Resources Mentioned:  If something in you is saying “yes” as you listen, Mystic Rising, is where this stops being something you hear and becomes something you live.  This is the updated version of the Temple, a space made for this moment in time, where we can go even deeper in the work, and even deeper into the mysteries.  Use  the code RECLAMATION for $20 off your first month: https://www.themysticinthewoods.com/mysticrising Decolonizing Therapy: Oppression, Historical Trauma & Politicizing Your Practice by Dr. Jennifer Mullan Decolonizing Trauma Work: Indigenous Stories and Strategies by Renee Linklater Decolonizing the Body by Kelsey Blackwell The Pain We Carry: Healing from Complex PTSD for People of Color by Natalie Gutierrez  My Grandmother’s Hands: Racialized Trauma and the Pathway to Mending Our Hearts and Bodies by Resmaa Menakem What My Bones Know by Stephanie Foo Sacred Kink: The Eightfold Paths of BDSM and Beyond by Lee Harrington Sacred Sex: The Magick and Path of the Divine Erotic by Gabriela Herstik Secrets of Western Sex Magic by Frater U.D.
