Snake Still Biting
by Katherine K
For those of us with broken bodies and broken stories - can there be recovery of one without the other? Leave your miserable life and join me in mine on this riveting audio journey to wellness! Haha, just kidding. I have no clue if wellness is in my future. What I _do_ know is I don’t want to sit around waiting for it before jumping back into a juicy life. But where’s all the juice, y’all, and how do we get it back? This podcast is a quest in which we set about answering that question.

Episode 10: Sailing Under a New Flag
In the aftermath of an eventful week - which includes starting methotrexate, the dreaded drug I've been freaking out about! - I now sit in the doldrums of a quiet moment and reflect on the the wisdom _the right dosage_, and the awareness that context (and not the thing itself) is the difference...

Episode 9: I’m Giving My Hands to Struggle
This week I turn 42 and have much to share about summery celebrations and wintery vast planes of the soul. The paradox or Yin and Yang come forward in this conversation, as does the wisdom of “surrendering to motion”, “giving one’s body over to the doing”, “relaxing into discipline”, and “moving...

Episode 8: Medusa at my Door
This week I anticipate my upcoming birthday and am surprised to find villainy at the threshold. A Greek sea monster, the poet Rumi, the somatic therapist Luis Mojica, four evil great grandfathers, and the revelation of a curse, all shape today’s discussion.

Episode 7: Given Limits
I tell you about my misadventures camping this week (urgent care features twice!). And I ponder the relationship between a set of imposed constraints and the capacity to create, be, and thrive.

Episode 6: I am the gold, not the broken pieces
This week I get an MRI, enjoy my new headstand stool, and somehow end up talking about the dark feminine, outlaw energies, the Ramayana epic, James Hollis and his acorn/oak tree notion of potential wholeness, and my childhood penchant for “playing Miss Hannigan” - the evil orphanage lady from the...

Episode 5: It Happened at 4:30 am!
Let me tell you the story of last Saturday, and how I reached a moment of both crisis and clarity in the middle of the night. Turns out I’ve been a fervent acolyte of Puritism, and a faithful practitioner of human “separateness”. Who knew? This week I draw on the wisdom of the tarot and Robin…

Episode 4: The Thinking Mind and Intuition
This week I tried out an infrared sauna and a writing exercise inspired by the doctor Cynthia Li, and the writer Cheryl Strayed. I struggled with sinking morale, and realized I’m starting to feel betrayed by magical (right hemisphere) healing modalities, in much the same way that I felt betrayed…

Episode 3: A Deal with the Devil
This week I share a story of a deal I made with the universe ten years ago and how - almost to the day - it was called in. The implications have left me reeling. Who is responsible for our own suffering and misfortune? Many in the alternative healing space have strong opinions. So do Job’s…

Episode 2: The Ouroboros of Beauty and Suffering
This week I ended therapy (after five years of weekly visits!), “went rogue” at a paint & sip event, tried out Byron Katie’s questions while staring at a sink of dirty dishes, and broke down happy crying in a rose garden after my podiatry appointment. Impermanence of both beauty and suffering…

Episode 1: When your story flatlines
Incurable disease and chronic pain throw a big wrench in the mechanics of a story line. In this episode I reflect on why that might be, and why main character energy dries up so profoundly in the face of it. I also talk a little about the paradox in the symbol of the snake, and explore just…
