Ep. 46: Empowering Womxn’s Innate Wisdom
In this episode of Subtle Medicine, I am joined by a truly phenomenal soul, Maryn Green of idiebirth.org.Maryn Green has been attending women as a midwife since 2009; first as a licensed midwife and now as an independent, autonomous midwife in Sedona, Arizona. Maryn is well known for her international association, the Indie Birth Association, which serves and educates women and midwives all over the world. She has co-authored a book about Indie Birth and recorded almost 200 (and counting!) podcasts (“Taking Back Birth”) that encourage women and midwives to rethink what they have been taught, and re-connect with ancient wisdom in combination with current research and knowledge. With Margo, Maryn has co-founded the first Indie Birth Midwifery School in 2017. Maryn has been taught by witnessing hundreds of undisturbed births, the best of which have been the births of her own 10 children. Maryn enjoys spending time in the Red Rocks of Sedona, Arizona, hiking with her husband, kids and dogs.For starters, I am completely in love with all that she’s doing and could probably talk to her for hours about a million different things. In this episode, I felt called to to dive into the notion of empowering women’s choices and autonomy about their health and bodies.Modern medicine has its place, yes, and, as a species, I feel we’re continually sterilizing and severing our connection with our innate, ancient wisdom. We’re not trusting our bodies, we’re disconnected from our intuition, we’re made to believe that we don’t know what’s best for us and have to look outside of ourselves… so much here.Join us as Maryn shares a bit of her story, as we dive into the importance of empowering women to take their health into their hands, to sink in the beautiful “place of the unknown,” and to create a menu of options for yourself, whether in pregnancy, healing a dis-ease of the body, or painting your room! We explored the wisdom of the body, how things like the mother wound, shame, outdated beliefs, and more can prevent us from hearing our intuition, and more.

Ep. 45: How to Hear Your Next Steps With the Cosmic Child Frequency
How are you choosing your next steps? What’s influencing and guiding you? Are you able to surrender and listen, or are you trying to control and know it all (hint: you can’t)? The journey of receiving your gifts, your next steps, your visions and then offering them in service for the greatest good of all is a sacred one. Yet, many aren’t honoring their full potential because they’re missing the crucial invitation of the first step with the Cosmic Child Frequency. Stay tuned for how to work with this energy and ways to access your next steps.On InnerSpark’s Wheel of Frequencies, which represents the eight cosmic archetypal energies, this time of year is known as The Cosmic Child Frequency, which comes afater The Void Frequency and before The Initiate. This is an in-between time of deep rest after the death of Samhin, or The Death Doula Frequency, and before the full reanimation and beginnings of The Initiate Frequency in spring.These archetypal energies exist within and around us at any given moment and working with the literal seasons of Earth’s cycles is a way to deeply connect with them.Journeying intentionally with the seasons and with the cosmos is the way to remember our innate wholeness and sovereignty. These energies provide us with a framework we can apply to any and all facets of our lives, from physical healing to relationships, to unraveling trauma, shame, and codependency.Mentioned in this episode:Episode 41: The Wheel of Frequencieswww.innerspark.life/frequencieswww.innerspark.life/apothecary

Ep. 40: 3 Ways to Root to Spiral
Listen for three potent, yet overlooked ways to practice Rooting to Spiral for more pleasure, ease, health, and fulfillment. What is Rooting to Spiral?It’s grounding so deeply into our center, into our Self, into our Truth and recognizing ourselves as ALL; recognizing ourselves as sacred, whole, and divine, and that we lack for nothing. From this rooted place, this solid foundation, we’re able to experience and surrender to the spiral of existence more freely. When we do that, we are unstoppable. We see life as magical. We find wholeness, radiance, clarity. It’s an ongoing process of embodying this path of alignment, we’re unraveling generations of programming, after all! If you’d like to go deeper, I invite you to join me for the Root to Spiral Collective. A quarterly group journey to hold sacred space for you to remember yourselves as the sovereign, Earth-made, cosmic queens you are. Head over to www.innerspark.life/root for all the details and to register. Now, more than ever, this work is needed. I love you.   Devon is a mentor and catalyst for sensitive, intuitive, empathic beings who want to create a life of authentic purpose and joy out of their challenges and traumas.
