Rebecca begins our second season with an invitation for the winter solstice: to remind ourselves that while we are going into the darkness, we have the tools already inside of us, and outside of us in nature, to move us through.

She was inspired by our guest, Katherine May, and her book called Wintering: The Power of Rest and Retreat in Difficult Times. Rebecca and Katherine talk about being allowed to feel the full spectrum of human emotion, searching for omens between solstice and the new year, and hummingbirds.

Rebecca Auman created the show with journalist Theo Balcomb. She and Rebecca dive into how they’ve channeled these conversations, what they’ve learned since they began, and why loosening up can teach us everything doesn’t have to be so hard.

Theo Balcomb created the audio show The Daily at The New York Times. It changed the genre and listening habits worldwide. Now, she makes audio with independent producers and newsrooms alike. If you’d like to work with her, please reach out.

SaraJo Berman is a healer but her healing practice has nothing to do with her. She and Rebecca discuss how it's all about “the object or the person or the living animal or the tree” that she’s with, offering a space in which they are safe, and able to heal themselves.

Elizabeth Greenwood is a writer who questions things that other people don’t necessarily think about. She’s now diving into writing a book about intuition, a process kicked off by becoming a mother. She and Rebecca discuss how becoming a parent showed her a new sense of knowing, how manifesting can be hijacked for capitalist gains, and how giving birth and using psychedelics are surprisingly similar.

Elizabeth talks about her “fortuitous listening to of The Deep Dive” podcast. Here’s that interview with Rebecca.

Jordan-Marie Smith is holding a lot: growing up in a traditional, Seventh-day Adventist community, finding power in tarot, maintaining a belief in God and in herself, finding joy in what she manifests, and fear about what might happen if it all works out. She and Rebecca talk about holding the divine god within us and, as Jordan-Marie puts it, “hobbling and cobbling” your own religion.

Listening to your intuition is at the core of Rebecca’s teachings. Together, she and Emily Lerner, a coach for leaders across industries, discuss what intuition feels like, how it’s often like a radio station, and how you can tune into it yourself.

How do science and mystery coexist? For Dr. Sarah Laszlo, her intuition informs her work as a cognitive neuroscientist. She and Rebecca discuss what it’s like to be an experienced, smart, big, loud woman in a place of power, how to keep yourself whole when you start a new job, and the idea that how we learn to read is magick.

When Rebecca was dreaming of who to feature on the next episode of Voices in the River, one image kept resurfacing, asking to speak with her: It was her stage actor friend, Kate Eastwood Norris, playing Lady Macbeth. Now Rebecca and Kate finally get that chance to talk. The two of them discuss the different identities we all play like theater roles — whether or not we’re actors — and how we can bring them all together to become whole.
