  • Winter's wisdom: be still and rest
    Jan 7 2026

    In this episode, Emily explores how the rhythm of the seasons can guide us into right relationship with the Earth by shifting culture from endless growth, extraction, and scarcity to reciprocity, regeneration, and abundance.

    Winter is a season of stillness and rest. We see this in the longest nights of the year, in the life cycles of deciduous trees, and in mammals that hibernate. Emily invites listeners to contemplate how we can weave Winter's wisdom into the fabric of our lives.

    If you’re struggling with burnout, Lunar Living: Rituals For Recovering From Burnout is a free guide to help you slow down and attune to the gentle cycle of the Moon.

  • Healing is not a luxury
    Dec 30 2025

    Happy birthday Soil and Stars! This podcast was born on December 30th, 2025 at 10:10 a.m. CST. They are a Capricorn Sun, Taurus Moon, and Pisces rising. In this first episode, Emily makes the case that healing is not a luxury, a declaration inspired by Audre Lorde’s essay Poetry is Not a Luxury.

    Healing is expansive and multidimensional. It is physical, emotional, spiritual, individual, communal, cultural, and planetary. Centering healing in everything we do is a practical strategy for repairing culture and birthing new worlds into being.
