Unleashing the Witch: Healing from Cancer Uncensored with Cate Stillman

In this thought-provoking episode of From the Ashes, I dive straight into the trenches with Cate Stillman, a pioneer in blending ancient health practices with modern wellness, and my awesome business coach. Cate shares her transformative journey, as detailed in her latest book, Witch's Cancer Journal, which recounts her battle with cancer and the unconventional healing practices she embraced along the way. Together, we explore the contrasts between Primal Habits (pre-agricultural habits that support our body’s natural rhythms) and Conventional Habits (modern, often consumer-driven behaviors) and how these contrasting approaches affect health and wellness. Cate and I touch on the importance of courage and curiosity in a world that often pressures us toward conventional paths. This episode is an invitation to question norms, embrace holistic healing, and consider how ancient practices can profoundly enhance modern life. Tune in and join us in redefining health, purpose, and the courage to live a life truly our own.
