Inner Archeology

You stopped asking what you want. Somewhere along the way you started asking what's reasonable to want - and there's a reason for that. In this episode, I talk about the part of you that's been running the show so efficiently you've stopped noticing her, what she can and can't do, and how your soul has been leaving a trail back to itself the whole time. 💌 Sign up for my (free)...

⚡️ When a message keeps finding you, it's usually because some part of you has been waiting for it. In this episode, I'm talking about how this showed up for me - and what I've come to believe it has to do with disconnection from aliveness. I'm not talking about the huge events, but more about the smaller stuff. The kind of things that arrive gradually, as a series of small decisi...

Your soul has been leaving you a trail. Small things. Persistent things. The pulls you keep dismissing as impractical, inconvenient, or just not the right time. This episode is about what those breadcrumbs actually are - and what it costs to keep walking past them. One question to carry away. Find everything (including ways to stay in touch) at the Rooted Mystic website. === Music from #Uppbeat ht...

Seven years in, and the cards showed me something I needed to see. Not something new - something I already knew, but had drifted far enough from that I needed it handed back to me. This episode is about the gap between what we say our priorities are and what our days actually show. About the drift that happens not from malice or laziness but from accommodation. 💀 And about what mortality has to d...

A life wink isn't a lightning bolt. It's quieter than that - the small, specific moment that makes you stop and feel, even briefly, like something is paying attention. This episode is about two of them that showed up on an ordinary morning when I stepped outside with my dog. A spider. A crow. And what it means to be moving slowly enough to notice. PS - Here are those pictures I mentioned i...

There's a version of you that learned very early how to make herself acceptable. She smiles when she's depleted. She says yes when she means no. She absorbs what she should redirect because keeping the peace always seemed more important than keeping herself. This episode is for her - and for you, the one who's starting to notice she's been running the show for a very long time. One...

What happens when happiness lands - and your body immediately braces against it? This episode is about the flinch. The rock in the stomach. The way an old story of unworthiness can keep you from receiving what's already right in front of you - joy, abundance, goodness in any form. Not a teaching from someone who has this figured out. A dispatch from someone still learning to look up. My 2026 p...

Your soul has been leaving you a trail. Not a dramatic one - just small, specific signals. The delight that catches you off guard. The pull toward something before you've had time to think about it. The want you've been quietly apologizing for. This episode is about learning to read those signals - and what happens when you finally stop walking past them. 💌 Sign up for my (free) Field Not...

What do you do when nothing is wrong but nothing feels alive either? Not depression, not burnout - something quieter and harder to name.  In this episode we're giving language to the gray season: what it is, why it sets in, and what it might actually be trying to tell you. 💌 Sign up for my (free) Field Notes from the Apothecary. === Music from #Uppbeat https://uppbeat.io/t/jonny-easton/summit

There's a particular kind of tired that doesn't come from doing too much - it comes from being absent from your own life. This episode names that feeling, and offers a reorientation: not inspiration, not a breakthrough, but tending. Small, quiet, incremental acts of returning to what's been waiting for you. One question to carry away. 💌 Sign up for my (free) Field Notes from the Apoth...

A genuine thank you to everyone who has reached out about the podcast and the newsletter - and an honest clarification about who is actually on the other end of this microphone. Not a guru. Not someone who has arrived. Just a person who needs her own medicine as much as anyone, practicing alongside you. 💌 Sign up for my (free) Field Notes from the Apothecary. === Music from #Uppbeat https://uppbe...

When we stop seeing the spaces we move through every day, something in us stops being seen too. This episode is about tending a threshold - the small, unglamorous space between leaving and arriving - and what happened when nine years of invisibility finally got some attention. A quiet piece about liminal spaces, held intention, and what re-emergence can look like when it fits in the palm of your h...

You can be productive, present, and getting things done - and still be completely absent from your own life. This episode is about that distinction. What it actually feels like to be alive in your day versus just moving through it, and why the difference has nothing to do with what you're doing and everything to do with how fully you're there while you're doing it. 🌿 One question to c...

The days are blending. Not because something is wrong, but because something is missing. In this episode, we look at what happens when your home becomes a stage set instead of a living thing. The remedy isn't (necessarily) a declutter. It's a relationship. For the woman who wants to feel like she's actually inside her life again. 💌 Sign up for my (free) Field Notes from the Apothecary...

The freeze wasn't failure. The stuck period was doing something - and it's okay that it's over now. In this episode, we honor the stillness instead of apologizing for it. What the stuck period was protecting, why it made sense, and what it means that something is finally moving again. For the woman who's tired of judging herself for the quiet seasons. 💌 Sign up for my (free) Field...

The podcast is back - with a new name, a new world, and a clearer sense of what the medicine actually is. In this first episode, I introduce the Edge of the Wood s and explain the shift from Inner Archeology to The Apothecary at the Edge of the Woods. Short episodes, soul ailments, and the medicines that help you find your way back to yourself. For the woman who's done letting the good girl ru...

What do you want to have when your beloved companion animal is gone? This walk-n-talk explores something I realized while creating my course on preparing words & mementos for those you'll leave behind - we need to include our non-human beloveds in this planning too, and to consider what that might look like. Because why wouldn't we consider their needs and our future grief the same way...

Ever wonder why it matters to say things now if you believe we can still communicate after someone passes? I've been thinking about this tension, because I do believe connection continues beyond death, and I also know with everything in me that it's different when someone's still here. Even if they never respond, even if it's just a letter they might not read... the potential chang...

Ever think about what you'd want to tell the people you love if you knew your time was running out? My bio-mother died suddenly after 15 years of us not speaking - and it slammed home how quickly the chance to say what needs said can disappear. This walk-n-talk is about creating those communications now, while you can, before regret becomes the only option left. ==== 💰 Want to contribute to t...

Ever gotten clear guidance from your intuition and immediately thought "literally anything but that"? In this raw morning walk, I share exactly how I experience intuition in my body - from words that almost physically push themselves out of my mouth to the voice I heard in my whole being during a life-altering decision. I'd love to hear how intuition shows up for you too. == 💥 WHERE...

🚨 - I forgot to explicitly say that the body doubling (soul excavation) episodes will only live on YouTube moving forward. Given that the point is a body-doubling exercise, that makes more sense in my mind. = You can find that over here: https://www.youtube.com/@rootedmystic = This is a super short one where I share with you what's changing on the pod. I think you'll dig it (so far, I rea...

💀 We're finally into October! And October's theme is 'Mystery & Transformation' YAY! Welcome to Week 5. I anticipated (as soon as I reacquainted myself with the prompt today) that this one would be a doozy. I needed a break afterward. I'd love to hear your experience. As always, leave me a note in the comments and let me know. ==== 💰 Want to contribute to this channel (an...

🤕 Physical wounds aren't pretty when they heal—they're bloody and gross and miraculous. 🤔 Why do we expect emotional and spiritual healing to look different? 🪏 The mess is where the power is.

🍁 As you know, all of September is about 'Harvest & new Beginnings'. This is week 4. I was so curious to see what the prompt was for this week and even more so to see what came out (and boy was it good - I may even share some of it publicly). What happens for you? Remember to let me know in the comments. ==== 💰 Want to contribute to this channel (and my work)? Buy me a cuppa! https:/...
