Episode Transcript
[00:00:01] Speaker A: Welcome to Woowooville, the next stop on your spiritual journey, hosted by two fellow travelers who found a soul connection on the path to higher consciousness.
Our goal is to help you navigate the choppy waters you're likely to encounter on a spiritual path by sharing our experiences with you each week.
Join us as we spill the tea on what it is like to wake up to your authentic self.
Hello, I am Lola Singer, and I am with my favorite co host, Amaral. And we have an extra, extra special special guest in the cabin today. Our. Our studio, and that is Harmony.
Well, you go by Fronter House usually.
[00:00:45] Speaker B: Right. Fronter House is my married name.
[00:00:47] Speaker A: Okay. I've. I've seen different versions of her name. Harmony is a local friend who.
She's like a busy bee of creativity because, I mean, what. What doesn't she do? She makes jewelry, she wrote a book, she does drum circles. She's got infinite patience, as we found out recently.
Just trying to get set up to do the recording today. And I've also. She and her husband host drum circles and drum making workshops and. And when. Just at the point where it gets frustrating to get a drum working. Oh, that's me or the cat joining us. That's that jingly noise.
She'll come through ever so patient, guide you through that. Yeah, we'll get that strong. We'll make it work. Don't worry. I got a plan here. Might help you. She's super patient and she has her own podcast.
What else did I miss? There's something else important that I wrote down that you do. So I'm going to look at my. Oh, herbalism.
[00:01:54] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:01:55] Speaker A: Herbalism. Artist, author, nutritionist, drumming musician.
My goodness.
Okay, so we met Harmony because of the drum circles that I have been doing. The person I used to host them with, Washington, really good friends with you. Yes, yes. Her wonderful. Leah, we love you. And so that's always nice when circles and. And I don't mean circles as drum circles. I mean circles mix. And there's this lovely blending, and that's what happened as a result. So now we've made drums with you people. From my drum circle, you've come to our drum circle. We're always, like, promoting each other for what each other does, and that's really the way it should work.
[00:02:47] Speaker C: But before we, before we get too far ahead, what is the name of our episode today, Lola?
[00:02:52] Speaker A: It is called Birthing a New Paradigm because that's the name of Harmony's book and it's available on Amazon and it's got five star Reviews, and she wrote it a while back. And it's about her personal journey of birthing and rebirthing. Birthing and rebirthing, metaphysically, spiritually, and even physically with her children.
You've had many, many personalities as a result. And I'm not mean that in the skitso way.
I mean that in a growth pattern way.
[00:03:30] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:03:30] Speaker C: And. But isn't that the perfect title, too? Like Birthing a New Paradigm to, like, current Present Times too. So that. That's, like, how I find it, that when people get so inspired and really tune into themselves, they do work. And sometimes the work isn't even for that time. It almost like it caters to a future time.
[00:03:47] Speaker B: Yes, Definitely feel that I was called to share this information not only to inspire individuals, but to help people understand the collective process that we're going through.
[00:03:59] Speaker A: Yes. Because as people shift individually, they are helping the collective to change, and you understood that early on.
I think that's something that, as we go on the spiritual path, we don't always get right away.
So we can talk about, I guess we'll call them, your many incarnations in this body. Yes. You have birthed and rebirthed your own personal paradigm many times in order to benefit the collective with all the things that you're doing now. Um, so where do we start with this?
[00:04:34] Speaker B: What would.
[00:04:35] Speaker C: So let's start with growing up.
[00:04:37] Speaker A: So the reason we're always in the process.
[00:04:40] Speaker C: So the. I think that you have, like, harmony. I feel. I feel very honored to have you, because I think that we have all sets of people listening to us, and I think that you come with bringing in something very, very important, which is how to balance the motherhood, your spirituality, being a wife, having all these things and proving that it can be done. But I think that sometimes we are so fast to be like, I can't do this. And then, like, we close ourselves up. Which, talking to you earlier, you. You told me that this book really represented that for you. Like, it represented you to no longer say, like, oh, I don't have time for this. It's my. In fact, you kind of work with it as you could, and you were able to create this book.
[00:05:29] Speaker B: Yes, absolutely.
The book itself was definitely a paradigm shift for me, just writing it and then publishing it and staying persistent and dedicated on that path of sharing these pieces of intrinsic information that we can all remember, because we all know this deep down in our souls. And so it was just a remembering for me, and it was a remembering for.
To help other people to remember their inner truth and their Guidance. It was definitely a struggle growing up.
I've gone through many different parts of that rebirth, from my childhood to my adolescence to becoming a mother. And even still, every day, I feel like I'm rebirthing myself. So it's a collective process. You don't have to actually give birth to. To rebirth yourself, but that is like. I mean, you automatically become you. You go from a daughter to, you know, like, all these different phases in your life to becoming a mother, and you're still the daughter, but you're. You're now a new identity that is a new hat that you get to wear. And in that, it was a process of opening to the possibilities in my life and shedding those layers of scarcity and fear and limitation and lack that I had been programmed with as a child.
[00:06:51] Speaker C: And that's what I was about to ask you next. So I'm growing up, so let's. I put a few bullet points that you can just elaborate a little bit more.
So a lot of our audience can definitely relate to this. The first one was Beat scarcity.
So how. How did that play out in your life?
[00:07:07] Speaker B: Yeah, when I was young, I knew that I didn't have a lot of, like, monetary value in my family, but we did grow up on a big piece of land that we rented, and we did have, you know, things taken care of. But when I realized that things were.
That I was not doing well off in the world, I asked my parents, you know, they said, we can't afford this, we can't afford that. And I said, well, are we poor? And they actually said, yes, unfortunately, because that started to program a scarcity mindset within me. And every decision I made was, how is this going to affect my family? Am I going to take funds from my family that needed it more than me? If we can't afford a pair of socks, then how are we going to afford, you know, a trip or a musical instrument or different things? So everything, every choice that I made was based on that program of money equals abundance, equals value, equals opportunity.
And in that, I limited myself. I allowed myself to think small. I allowed myself to continue on this journey not understanding my power in that ability to manifest like I had intrinsically understood before I was taught this new information.
[00:08:33] Speaker A: Well, that's one thing I think we're kind of overlooking here, that that was a rebirthing into social labeling, basically. But prior to that, you told me that as a very young girl, you felt that full connection in nature. You knew the abundance. So tell us about your connection with nature as a Young child.
[00:08:53] Speaker B: I was so fortunate to move to Whidbey island when I was 2 years old and get to grow up in a forest and get to go to the beach all the time. And. And I could see, you know, like, money did grow on trees. There was, you know, we actually even played a game where, like, the salal leaves were our money. We would, like, have this little, you know, cash register, things like that in our play fort that was just a grove of trees with a log, you know, but in that I would see that there was so much abundance around, I would. I was really interconnected with the elements and the magic and wonder of life.
And it wasn't until I was told otherwise that I started to believe those stories.
[00:09:36] Speaker A: I think this is really important for people in the audience to hear because I'm sure they can relate to that, because as children, we see the world as so many possibilities and so wonderful. And, you know, playing with a dandelion is like the best thing ever on the planet. You know, you're just so content.
And then we get conditioned to believe that, oh, no, this is. That's. That's just fantasy and foolishness. And you're playing with a weed.
He's like, no, it's a magic device. I can blow it.
You know, and so that joy of the kid and that, I'm going to say innate. That innate feeling of being connected to abundance in nature.
It's there and then it's taken away.
And in your case, it was so abruptly that it really left a mark.
[00:10:26] Speaker B: Yes, absolutely. And another piece to that was the magic, because I intrinsically was able to do things as a young, young child that I started to turn off as I grew up, too. I could move clouds with my mind. I could, you know, connect to the trees and, like, the wind would blow, when I think about it, all those little pieces. And I remember that day where I asked. It was like Halloween, and I asked if witches were real.
And I was told no.
And it changed something as well. It was like a switch shut off.
And it was because of the protection.
The person perceiving what, at my question, was thinking I was afraid. And they wanted to protect me against these wicked perceptions of witches or whatever. But at the same time, they didn't realize that I was actually asking for other reasons. And that was about my own personal power. And so when somebody says, no, that's not real, or that, you know, these. These instances that I have experienced, people just belittled or said, oh, yeah, that's. They just explained away in another Mundane form.
And that helped or that shed those layers of my own personal power. But then I was able to regain that in another rebirth later on.
[00:11:43] Speaker A: So.
Well, I think part of the situation there is that people have a limited concept of what a witch is to begin with. And you were naturally drawn to nature and herbalism early on. So you were really like a witch.
[00:12:02] Speaker B: Yes. I would collect rocks and my sister would chant funny things at me and make fun of me. And I would, you know, collect different herbs and make. I would make. My mom called them concoctions. She wouldn't, she wouldn't let me. She wouldn't let me like make them and like store them. So I would hide them under the bed and then she'd be like, oh, her concoctions are molding under the bed.
[00:12:23] Speaker A: So I'm. I'm gonna, I'm gonna jump into the future from that. So she got back in touch with that because her, she has a YouTube channel and, and most of her handles on social media are wildcraft Wellness.
[00:12:39] Speaker C: So.
[00:12:39] Speaker A: So this is actually something she understood innately. As a child, you probably had many lives doing that sort of work. You were, you know, and kids play, play at what they want to be growing up. I'm sure that's what you were doing. Oh, I've done this before. I'm going to do it again, you know, but then it, but then the rebirth into the, the, the mundane social paradigm.
So.
Okay. I don't even know where to go with this after this because your life is just been up and down and up and down and up and down and lots and lots of rebirth.
[00:13:12] Speaker C: So before we get moving any further, I. Because I realized that we have like, people that are beginning to awaken into their spirituality. And this is something you have to come to terms with. But the word witch sometimes, like, because Hollywood, because society puts it in such a negative light.
So another like, word for it is like medicine woman. This, this were like the original doctors of society. Society.
[00:13:37] Speaker A: Yes.
[00:13:37] Speaker C: In other words. And that's what I always want to mention because I feel that we go fear based. Especially someone that is like, for example, has still religious programming.
[00:13:46] Speaker B: Right.
[00:13:47] Speaker C: When they hear the word witch, it doesn't ring a bell too well for them. But also, like, as we grow, we realize, like, that's just a word. It's a description of something. But it can be described in so many ways.
[00:13:58] Speaker B: Yeah. And it's all about your perception of the word, like you said.
[00:14:01] Speaker A: But maybe a lot of people don't understand that during the witch hunts where they killed not thousands, millions of women. It could be for something as simple as making a cough syrup.
[00:14:14] Speaker B: It could be as simple as staying healthy when everyone else got sick.
And that's the thing. They're like, oh, you got the supernatural powers, and, you know, we need to suppress that. I think, for me, the word witch, when I was asking, didn't necessarily mean what the people that were telling me meant, the same thing. And in the Bible, it says, you know, thou shalt not suffer a witch to live. And in that, the. If you go back to the Hebrew and the original context, it actually says, thou shalt not suffer a poisoner, a user of herbs that has ill will to poison somebody to live. And the word witch, the etymology is, actually means wise one, wise woman. And so the word, it comes from witness the word wit, which means wisdom, or the ability to respond in a way that is, you know, responsive, responsible.
And for me, that when I realized all of those social paradigms, I don't have the same, you know, perception as I used to. And that's a big part of the rebirthing process, is like shifting your perception on. On these words, on these ideas, on these concepts, into a healthier relationship with yourself.
[00:15:27] Speaker A: I think Amaral just did that by using the. The term medicine woman.
That shifted up for me just hearing that. Yes, because I still, you know, even though I know better, I. I still have that nagging connotation with witch in my head, too.
[00:15:42] Speaker C: Also, another thing that we just walked into, which is really great, which I was doing bullet points, my next bullet point about growing up was perception.
So how do you feel your perception grows from, like, being that child that obviously, like, we have these parents that we see as, like, God figures, literally, because they're. They. They do kind of have that control over our life to the perception you have now. Like, what. What do you feel that the wisdom, what wisdom came out of that?
[00:16:08] Speaker B: Definitely a lot of compassion and just understanding. Working through the struggles that I've had in my life and using those struggles as alchemy, as the pressure and the heat and the moisture to germinate that seed in my life, to be able to use these hardships as a springboard, to become more empowered and to understand that I've volunteered for a lot of those things along my. Along my way to not only empower myself, but to help other people find that spark and remember what they already know within their reality, of how they were interworking with the spiritual, with their emotional and their physical, and, like, merging that all together. So for me, that was a huge part of it. And then, you know, changing perceptions of scarcity.
In my book, the very first line is the quote from Max Blanc, when you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.
And that is a huge, profound piece for me, because when I started to actually see things for gifts and lessons, instead of me being a victim to this reality, that's when every. All the pieces started to come together that I'm stronger and I'm who I am because of these hardships, because of the scarcity that I lived in. Because, you know, now I can appreciate certain things. Like when you have to haul water every day, you really appreciate that running water. When you, you know, live without food in your belly, when that food is there, you are so thankful you don't throw it away. Like, we don't have any waste in our house. We. Everything goes to the rabbits, to the chickens, or the compost.
[00:17:59] Speaker C: Oh, that's awesome.
[00:18:00] Speaker B: And then, you know, we have some plastic stuff that we recycle and. But really, like, there. And there's some trash, but it's minimal to the point, you know, where one person would have, like, a full trash bag, a trash can to put out every week, and every two weeks, we have, like, one or two bags of, you know, just the miscellaneous stuff that you get from the stores that you can't recycle.
But other than that, you know, the food, nothing is wasted. And that is a huge part of becoming a empowered person in this life, is seeing, okay, how are these things that people are taking for granted? How am I so blessed to have just the smallest things? And that really helps you to interact with your world in a more magical way. Like, a lot of people, they look at dishes and they say, oh, I gotta do some dishes. This is lame. But me, when I look at dishes, I say, oh, my gosh, we had food.
We had food.
We have running water and soap to wash these dishes. I am so grateful for this moment. I have hands that are functioning to wash and feet to stand. Because I'll tell you, when I was pregnant, I had to wash dishes like this, and it was really uncomfortable.
But you get a different perception. Like when you cut your fingers, you can't wash certain things. So you think about those things. And then once you start to really imbibe gratitude in these mundane tasks, then it actually allows you for a space of magicalness. So you can actually be like, okay, not only am I grateful, but I'm no longer in that place of, this sucks. And now I can be like this is blessed. And every time you touch those dishes, you can think about the people that are going to eat on those and the meals that will be blessed and giving thanks and really blessing the water and everything. As you're doing that, it turns a very mundane task of doing the dishes into something very magical and it sets the table literally for more magical experiences down the line.
[00:20:03] Speaker A: You bring up a good point because you can shift your paradigm instantly, can't you?
[00:20:07] Speaker B: Yes, absolutely. And it has to do with gratitude.
[00:20:11] Speaker C: Yeah. And that also brings up another thing that, like, I have met so many people that they hold on to the negative stories and they, they, they let that story define who they are.
[00:20:22] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:20:22] Speaker C: And that's what I love about alchemy. Alchemy is like really going in, seeing things as they were. Lesson, seeing everything in your life as no longer in the victim role. Like, it's not this happened to me, it happened for me type thing.
But another thing too, where it was like a big shift on you, which I really want to talk about, I think will be great for the audience to hear, is going from fear to trust.
[00:20:47] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:20:48] Speaker C: Because that's a huge, like, leap.
[00:20:50] Speaker B: Yeah. So definitely the buildup of fear camp comes from so many places. A lot of them I can pinpoint, and a lot of them are subconscious programs that were just not only in this life, but past lives for survival. You know, like we fear the night or fear the dark, fear wild animals, because we know that our ancestors died from those certain things. Or, you know, we, we have these ancient ego protections that were just now coming up because we don't have those same threats. Right. And so we're able to let those go. And personally, in this body, my. The fear levels, a lot of them came from outward projections that I would see on TV or see from the news of the war and predators.
And I actually, you know, lived in a lot of fear because of, you know, things that my, my parents went through and things that my friends had gone through. And I actually aligned myself to a situation where I didn't understand at the time, but now I do that. I volunteered for it energetically where, where I was a 12, 13 year old child on my way home from school and I had been stalked by a serial rapist for months and he decided to attack me that day and try to put me in his trunk. Thankfully, I had guardian angels that were looking all out for me and that were part of this contract to put this guy behind bars.
But I was attacked by this serial rapist. He was going to Put me in his trunk and take me and gag and bound me with the family baby blanket is what he did with his victims. And anyway, so that created a lot of fear to be. He grabbed me from behind with gloves and a ski mask and started dragging me toward his car. And I couldn't scream. I literally, like, could not. I was in so much fear that my voice didn't work.
And thankfully, there was some people that saw him, and they saw him, and he dropped me and didn't actually go through with his plans. And my phone call to the police matched up with another person who saw him pop his trunk and run into the woods. And everything aligned to where he was put behind bars. But even though he was caught, I still held all of this fear around being by myself in woods, being by myself anywhere, being in the dark, just different situations that it, like, triggered for me. It rebirthed me into a very fearful person.
And 15 years later, I couldn't even walk one block away by myself to the store in broad daylight, because I had daylight. Yeah. I had built up so much fear about it. And then something happened where I awakened to the fact that I volunteered for this situation, to put him behind bars. I volunteered for the situation, to gain certain compassion, to have later experiences in healing this pattern in a human body.
Because this is not only just an individual experience. This is something that a lot of women and men have experienced in their lives. And it's very.
It's ancestral. And so to come into this body in this way and shift those layers of fear and. And understand that it was part of my agreement to come here, helped me to learn the lessons that I needed to do and find the peace that I needed to do, the forgiveness for not only myself, for putting myself in a dangerous situation because I was walking through the woods by myself. And I probably shouldn't have, but for the fact that, you know, he was probably abused in some way or, you know, whatever, the compassion for these other people, and that helps to neutralize the fear in that way. Especially when I went back to the place where it happened and faced that energy.
[00:24:54] Speaker A: It takes fortitude.
[00:24:55] Speaker B: Oh, it took years.
[00:24:58] Speaker C: One of the things I wanted to mention, which is really powerful. I thought it was really powerful. They really connected with it. Like you said, you were there to obviously take part of, even though it wasn't the most pleasant experience, but yet you helped to. For someone to get caught and to. But what's really interesting, you said that during that time, you had cut your hair shorter.
[00:25:19] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:25:20] Speaker C: And it was dark, which happened to be all of the victims that said that was, like, the profile that they had before.
[00:25:26] Speaker B: Yeah. Which I had. No, Like, I just was doing it because I wanted to be different. And, like, I did a lot of things to be different in my life because I didn't want to be, like, the same as everybody else. And blonde hair was often I was viewed as stupid and, you know, different things like that. So I was, like, just exploring. So I cut my hair, like, three feet off of my hair. My hair was long, blonde, like, as long as it is now. And I dyed it dark, which is, like. Is called current, which was, like, almost black, but a little bit, like, purpley red in it. And I didn't really, like, look like myself or anything, and. Or feel like myself, which is weird. But the weirdest thing, like you said, is that was actually all of his victims had short, dark hair. And he wouldn't have attacked me if I wouldn't have done that. And so somehow my subconscious knew if it was a volunteer situation, that that's what I would have to do in order to have this whole situation play out. But I didn't know that until later on. So it was just like, a little piece of, like, oh, here's an affirmation. Like, there's reasons it all played out the way that it did. And now he's in prison for 10 life sentences. So he appealed, and he's not ever getting out.
[00:26:39] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:26:40] Speaker A: How old were you when you had that epiphany that you had done this as a volunteer, either to clear a family history of trauma or just to help the collective?
[00:26:50] Speaker B: Either way, it wasn't until years later, I mean, immediately I had that feeling of, like, thank you, guardian angels. I'm so thankful that I have these guardian angels and the. That I made it through this. But it wasn't until I was. After I had my children and rebirthed into another form of myself that I started to. And this is another piece which is really weird, is I had so much resistance to Everett. This is where it happened. Everett, Washington. And I had so much resistance that when we moved to our house, when. In that time frame of when I was in my late 20s, Todd and I moved to. And I said, universe, anywhere but Everett.
I didn't know about Law of Attraction, so that was part of my. Part of my journey and learning about Law of Attraction.
[00:27:40] Speaker A: Everett.
[00:27:41] Speaker B: Right. And the universe was like, what? You have work to do in Everett. What you need to heal some things in Everett. And so that was a big part of it. So I literally I didn't know when we bought the house because my. It was years before, 10 plus years, but I was literally a mile away from where that happened.
[00:27:59] Speaker A: Oh, wow.
[00:28:00] Speaker B: So then I go driving.
Every time I had to go drive in a certain direction. I had to pass those woods and the condo I used to live in.
And it forced me to look at those things. It forced me to my. My higher self, forced me to. In the universe to look at and heal these aspects of myself.
And there was a moment where I don't even know exactly. I can't really pinpoint the exact moment where it happened, but it started to unfold where these layers of fear where I started to realize that, like, I came into this world to do certain things.
And spirit told me that was one of the things that you came to do to put this guy behind bars and to help give justice to these other girls.
[00:28:52] Speaker A: Do you think that the bond you had with the two mentors in your life, for people who don't know, Harmony shares my Nordic heritage. And she looks very, very much like a Scandinavian blonde, but she also Lakota in her DNA and Lakota in her heart.
[00:29:21] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:29:22] Speaker A: And I think part of your birthing the new paradigm in this case to become who you are now was really instrumental that you worked with these two women. So can you tell us about us and about how old you were when you found them?
[00:29:38] Speaker B: So this was a few years after I lived in Everett, and when I was young and we had moved away, we moved to Edmonds, Mount Lake Terrace area.
And my mom was very sick.
She had gotten.
She had messed up her knee pretty bad a couple years before, so she was still dealing with that. But she had gotten a tumor and she had to have a mastectomy. And that gave her really bad nerve damage because the doctor didn't do everything the way he should have. And it was part of her. Her journey and her agreement to heal certain things for herself. But I digress back to. I needed. I needed somebody. My dad was not available. He was an alcoholic and not available.
My mom was sick, and I was a teenager looking for guidance and looking, you know, for spiritual guidance because I was really connected to spiritual music. It may. It give me a feeling and an empowerment that I'd never felt before. And native music, Celtic music, Japanese flutes, and just all. There was this one called Merlin's Magic Chakra Meditation. And it was like on a cassette tape. Like, you know, it was. It was a huge part of that awakening. Then I asked the universe, please, I need guidance.
I need another Mother, right?
And spirit gifted me two women and one woman, she looked like me. She had blonde hair, blue eyes. She owned a store called Grandma's Medicine Wheel. And she was a native woman and a Scandinavian, very much like my heritage. So I connected with her. She had spiritual youth groups where we talked about our dreams, like literal dreams and our, you know, projected dreams into the future and many beautiful things. She ended up. She's a life coach, and she ended up just giving me free life coaching. I didn't even know at the time.
And that's a good coach. Yes.
And she.
And she was an amazing. I still know her. Sandy powers. I love you. And another woman, Maryline Parker, she came into my life as well, and she had a store called Hollow Tree.
And just a beautiful, spiritual native woman. And she would hold classes and she taught me a lot about the native connections of the elements and how they were basically the same teachings as the Celtic and Scandinavian, Germanic roots of, you know, true connection to the earth, you know, the land, the air, the fire, the water, the spirit, the seven sacred directions, as above, so below.
And in that, I'm like, wow, there's so much similarities to these different cultures I'm learning about. And I really started to study all different religions and put the pieces together for myself and started to go on another, like, personal rebirth and opening an awareness of that individual growth process and self empowerment. And then, yeah, they were definitely huge parts of that in my life to help me find that awareness of integration of who I was and the. It was almost like giving me permission to be a mixed culture. You know, like, I have all these different pieces of my culture, but it's. They all go together like a puzzle. And it's like, what I do now, I work with the drum, and when we do drum making workshops, I remind everybody that, like, this isn't just a Native American thing. I am native, and I can help you, teach you what I know there. But it's also, you know, in Australia, in Africa and Europe and Russia, all of these cultures all around the world, South America, Central America, the drum is a huge part of the rebirthing process. And building a drum and rebirthing a drum, you're taking wood and skin from things that are no longer in a, you know, physical living form, and you're rebirthing that into a new tool, a portal for, you know, manifestation, for healing, for, know, shifting energies and with frequency. And all of that is a birthright to being human, to being an earthling. It has nothing to do with a culture. And that was a Huge awakening point for me is when you start to readjust the way that you look at your programs and shift out of labels, and you start to see things as more inclusive.
It starts to make everything make sense. And you don't feel as alone. You don't feel as separate. You don't feel like, oh, I'm appropriating, because I've been told many times I appropriate because I look the way I look. Then nobody asked me if I'm even native. But because I wear beadwork and leathers and, you know, play a drum, that's cultural appropriation. Like, Todd, I don't know if you saw the painting that he did of me. And it's like, I'm playing a flute, there's an owl and a dream catcher and the fire in the mountains.
And it didn't mean to be about me, but he had me pose for the figure, and then it just ended up turning into me. It was gonna be a man and his original vision, but then it's me. But that's like a picture that I have up on my Facebook, and I've been told that's cultural appropriation.
[00:35:21] Speaker A: It's like, and here you are legitimately.
[00:35:24] Speaker B: Legitimately, that's who I am. And the painting is literally, like, capturing a part of my essence, you know? And it's just funny because the person that's judging appropriation is only doing it from their own perspective of uncomfortability and uneducation.
And so it's okay. And I can, you know, just be a point of, like, kind redirection and re education.
[00:35:49] Speaker A: Maybe that will help the audience rebirth a paradigm in that you can't judge a book by the COVID Yep, absolutely.
[00:35:58] Speaker C: One of the things, too, that I was going to just say that just totally spirit was, like, nudging on me is.
So would you say that these women that were your mentors, were they kind of like your beacon of light for you to develop your trust?
[00:36:10] Speaker B: Definitely, yeah. Both. Both women were very kind, loving, giving, and very trustworthy people and helped me just to rebirth that within myself, because trust is actually from within.
And when I forgave, you know, when I forgive certain things, I'm forgiving myself for putting myself in these positions that I. And that's the biggest part of not forgiving, is that we forget to forgive ourself for whatever it was that we did to put ourselves into danger. So, like, you know, for a lot of people that are abused, they'll forgive the abuser, but they forget to forgive themselves because they. They Allow themselves to be in that position. That is what the subconscious thinks. And once we get to that point where we go. I volunteered to be in that position.
I actually needed whatever I got from that to help me as a human grow, to help the collective grow, to help individuals out there that can relate to what I'm going through and what I've gone through and how I've shifted and changed and moved through this.
And it's. Yeah, they were definitely a huge part of that. My spiritual guides. I have many guides, but also my higher self integration was a big part of that as well. And, like, really connecting with the fact that it didn't matter what other people think, that I'm just gonna be who I am. And that authenticity is a huge part. And they were authentic. And so it's like that reflection of, like, you. Your authenticity allows and gives permission for my authenticity to shine through. Right.
[00:37:54] Speaker A: Yeah. And for anybody who's ever met Harmony, you are very authentic.
[00:37:58] Speaker C: Yes, you are. And she has a very strong, divine, feminine energy that's very nurturing. So she puts you at peace right away.
[00:38:07] Speaker B: Thank you.
[00:38:08] Speaker A: And it took a lot of self love to get there.
[00:38:12] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah.
[00:38:13] Speaker C: I want to just go into something, because I'm sure that it can. Like, I'm just hearing that I should share this.
So when we go through life and those of us that really go through not having a. Like, an emotional support person that we can go to, not having someone that's even present in our lives, and we go through. And then all of a sudden, we get a line, or we run into these amazing people that are their true, authentic selves, and they have nothing to hide.
And I remember when I met these people, I was scared because I was like, are these people even human? Because what I have lived through, that felt like my normal. That was my set point there.
[00:38:59] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:39:00] Speaker C: So I. I was raised with people that would hide their feelings a lot. Anything that was important, you shove it under the rug. You don't face it.
And so growing up, it was so crazy. And then all of a sudden, I get exposed to people. They're inviting, that they're authentic, that they're loving, that they're like a complete new thing. And the thing about spiritual awakening, I think at its core level, it's more about tuning into who you truly are. The loving being that loves others, that respects others, that is authentic. And it's open.
[00:39:32] Speaker B: Mm.
[00:39:33] Speaker C: What would you say with talking about your book about birthing a new paradigm?
I guess my question is.
[00:39:43] Speaker A: Who would.
[00:39:43] Speaker C: You like, if you if somebody asks you who would you recommend this book to? Like, what would your answer be?
[00:39:50] Speaker B: Good question, Everyone.
I think every single person could find something to relate to in this book. And I put this book out before the world shut down. And a lot of it actually is pretty relevant to a global shutdown, to some of the underlying truths that were going on. And it's very relevant to what we're going through now because, you know, when some people come in as like a path blazer, a trailblazer, and I feel like a lot of the things that I went through were all for reasons, not only for my own lessons, but to help other people to glean information on this topic. And the main topic for me about the book is perception. It's about how are you viewing the world? How are your lenses fogged up? Are they tinged one color or another? And you're missing out on the rest of the spectrum because how we view the world is a direct relationship on how we see the world and what we are allowing ourselves to entertain as reality is going to filter and put fog around certain parts of our lenses. So with the information that I share, it is all across the board. I share about things that people can experience in their childhood and their adolescence, in their adulthood, things that people can experience all across the board in different cultures and different genders. I talk a lot about how, you know, we need to or not need to, but we have the opportunity in this world to actually remove labels.
And the more we do that, the more we get down to the real truth of everything. You know, if. If when we say, my car, why is it my car? It's just the car, right? Or if we say, you know, just anything that you label as yours or theirs or you know what I think.
[00:42:01] Speaker A: Is the most dangerous label?
My illness.
[00:42:04] Speaker B: Yes, my illness. Instead of an illness where I'm healing, I'm healing is much more powerful than I'm sick. And our bodies are constantly in the state of healing. Actually, I didn't even know this until like a couple years ago. Your teeth are actually in the state of regeneration and degeneration at every moment. We can actually remineralize our teeth.
And if we see ourselves as constantly healing, constantly regenerating, because that's what we're doing. If we nourish ourselves, mind, body, spirit, we can. And emotions, we can actually rebuild.
Every seven years, we're a whole new set of cells.
So we are literally rebuilding ourselves, depending on or degenerating ourselves, depending on how we're nourishing. And it's about that balance we were speaking about, about really finding what it is. The balance between consuming and creating, the balance between, you know, indulging and nourishing and. And trying to make sure our indulgences are actually nourishing us, you know, in that space.
[00:43:09] Speaker A: And we also need to nourish our indulgence.
[00:43:11] Speaker B: Yes, sometimes. Absolutely. It's all about balance.
[00:43:14] Speaker A: Yeah. So I think hopefully this is helping people shift paradigms just by hearing this, you know, because that's. That's a long road to go from, you know, the magic of a child to the disillusion of a young adult for good reason, into, like a rebirth, birth, thanks to some nurturing people in your life.
And then you went through a dark phase as well.
We don't need to go into too many details about that. But, you know, how old were you when. When you feel like you kind of.
That was before when you went into alcohol.
[00:43:51] Speaker B: Right. So I was like.
[00:43:53] Speaker A: Because she's friends, she's burnt herself so many times.
[00:43:56] Speaker B: I was like 18 or 19 when I really started to drink a lot. But I was. I was like 12 or 13 when I first smoked a cigarette and tried alcohol.
[00:44:05] Speaker A: Yeah. But having gone through such trauma.
[00:44:07] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:44:08] Speaker A: I can understand, you know, that you wanted to, you know.
Hermit. Mm.
[00:44:13] Speaker B: And that was part of the frequencies I needed to understand and experience.
Because for me to say I don't drink now is. And I don't, you know, resonate with it. Some people, it's their medicine or whatever it can be if you use tincture, different things, it's. It's not evil. But back then I looked at it totally different and I was very guilty about my usage. I was very like. Especially with tobacco.
[00:44:37] Speaker A: So you felt a lot of shame.
[00:44:38] Speaker B: Yeah, with tobacco. I've rewritten my paradigm with tobacco because I grew up not understanding any of the sacredness of tobacco. And I smoked chain smoked for years, and every time I knew it wasn't good for my body and I wasn't using it in the right way. But I was so addicted that I just had a really hard time breaking through that paradigm. But after I quit, after I had my daughter, I literally could not even smell it without getting sick. And so for then, I had my next daughter 13 months later. And. And so I was pregnant and breastfeeding and all that for years. And so I was able to kick that habit without a lot of the hard thing. Like my body literally didn't want it. A couple years later, I'd still dream about it and stuff, but in that addiction, it was to, like, suppress certain things. It was to socialize. Like, I love to do karaoke. So I'd go out into the bar and I would, you know, drink, because it was a thing. I also like to kill pain and, you know, enjoy that part of it. But with.
With tobacco, it was more of like a. Just a full on addiction. It was like. It just hit me. I was smoking all the time. I wasn't thinking about it. But then when I rewrote everything, it was. Now I realize, and I've learned about how tobacco is sacred. So anything that's been distorted, it has a sacred aspect.
And in my Lakota culture especially, tobacco is used as one of the highest honors that you can give an elder when you're honoring them in prayer, or if, like, you ask them for advice, or if you're harvesting things in the wild, you honor the land with tobacco, you give one of your most prized possessions, too. And then it's used for carrying the prayer to the spirit in the Canupa pipe. And being connected to smoking it for years without any sacredness was a total shift of paradigm when I realized how sacred it could be. And now I can connect with tobacco on a different level. I rarely smoke tobacco. If I do, it's in a ceremony in Achanupa. But I work with it every month. I work with it on a level. When we do our drum birthing ceremonies, we offer tobacco to the hides. We offer to the elements to the fire.
[00:47:02] Speaker A: I know you brought tobacco to my drumming circle.
[00:47:05] Speaker B: That was so sweet. We honored the Bear Grandmother bear drum with some tobacco and lavender. And lavender is a good one as well. And it doesn't have to be tobacco. That's the other thing is, like, don't be attached to your magical instrument.
[00:47:19] Speaker A: Well, speaking of magic, this all brings you right back to being five years old, doesn't it?
[00:47:24] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:47:25] Speaker A: It's like you've been through all these ups and downs and changed and rebirthed yourself so many times just to come back to wholeness, which is the journey of the fool in Tarot.
[00:47:35] Speaker B: Yes. Yes.
[00:47:36] Speaker A: You're doing the things you loved as a child. Now can you talk about that? So hopefully that gives people a sense of hope that despite what you might be going through at this moment in the audience, because when you. When you get taught by some wise women about, you know, moving forward and looking back at those lessons as wisdom, then you can really go back to feeling safe and exploring what you love to do.
[00:48:09] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:48:09] Speaker A: And so you. You really kind of do the things you wished you would have done when you were five, huh?
[00:48:14] Speaker B: Yeah, actually.
But I look at it different because when I was young, I wanted to be a teacher, and I thought that meant being in a classroom teaching 30k.
But the shift of the paradigm said, okay, well, the minute you became a mother, you became a teacher, but you also became a student of some of the most profound teachers there are, which is your children. And not only just what they can say out of their mouths, but all the little pieces that they help teach you. You know, the release of ego, trust, knowing that they're protected, and all of the different little pieces that help us to remember that intrinsic part of ourselves. And, you know, I was able to shift my paradigm in that way because that piece of it all was the greatest teacher, showing me that I am, you know, more powerful than I ever knew.
[00:49:10] Speaker C: And just to put it in perspective, too, even you having your kids, you had some. I mean, you had some high risk pregnancies too. That. Yes, it would be great to talk about just so that we create an awareness of how that worked up. Like, for example, with your first kid.
You want to elaborate a little bit more?
[00:49:33] Speaker B: Yeah. So when I was pregnant, this is another piece of the. The law of attraction. I said no cesarean section was my birth plan. That was the only thing I wrote in my birth plan. Guess what I had to do? I had to work through that. So my first birth was a four cesarean. And then I was told after I had her that when I got pregnant with my second that I had no other choice. I needed to schedule another cesarean. And the word no other choice, of course, my little rebel was like, what? There's got to be another choice. So I figured it out, and I found vbac, which is vaginal birth after cesarean. It's so common that there's an anagram.
So not only did they lie to me about having to have this cesarean, which I found out later, but they also lied to me about that just because they want it easier and they want more money. But that's a whole nother show.
But.
And then my third, and, well, my second, I was able to have V back after cesarean, and I was able to have a partial epidural and deliver her vaginally. And it was incredible.
My third, I was able to have in a birthday pool in my living room, 100% natural. And, you know, if I didn't go through all three of those things, I don't think that my story would be as powerful. When I say, you should do a birth pool in your living room. Natural. Because I can say, like, I've gone through this, I've gone through that, I've gone through this. And these little pieces are what help me to be able to help other people realize these shifts of awareness.
[00:51:01] Speaker A: That's an epiphany I just had listening to you. When you've gone through so many paradigm shifts in a personal level, you walk the walk and talk the talk, don't you?
[00:51:12] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah.
You have no choice.
[00:51:15] Speaker A: And that makes for a good, believable mentor, right?
[00:51:19] Speaker B: Yeah. And that's the thing with alcohol and that kind of stuff, too, is I lived those experiences so that I could help other people find a new understanding for their path. Because it's not bad. Oh.
[00:51:31] Speaker A: And so. Yes. So you're a healer in so many ways. I mean, psychologically as well as, you know, medicinally. But we haven't talked about the medicine wheels yet.
[00:51:42] Speaker B: Yes, medicine wheels.
[00:51:43] Speaker A: Let's talk about medicine wheels with harmony, right?
[00:51:46] Speaker B: Yeah. Medicine wheel is an integral part of my connection with spiritual.
There's medicine wheels everywhere. They're all connected, as you know, Lola working with Rainbow Thunderheart and his medicine of working with the. And creating medicine wheels in a tangible form all around the world.
We are literal walking medicine wheels. We are the earth, the air, the fire, the water, the spirit. And we're north, southeast, and we're southeast, up and down.
We are all the colors.
We have, you know, everything within us, and we are interacting with medicine wheels everywhere we go.
So, you know, when I went to grandma's medicine wheel, it was a literal store called Grandma's Medicine Wheel. That was a huge medicine wheel I stepped into that helped me understand, and I didn't even know I was totally navigating it subconsciously. But now when, you know, we do our light language drum circles, our full moon drum circles, our building of drums, all those different things where we're actually working with the medicine wheel, which is the drum, which is a huge part of that medicine wheel. But we're also connecting to ancient medicine wheels that other people have, you know, created Stonehenge and, you know, different places all around the world that are tangible medicine wheels and energetic medicine wheels. And in that it's mending the sacred hoop.
The sacred hoop was broken. And that's why we're also disconnected. That was like the fall when we bit the apple of knowledge, of good and evil. That's when we realized, oh, third dimensional reasonings. That's when we started to go, oh, these are little pieces of the Fragments of the reality, you know, that we labeling as good, bad, dark, light.
But that's actually the fragmentation of the medicine wheel when we start to put it all back together and we realize it's all one hoop, it's all one circle, it's all one sphere.
That's how we understand that this interconnectedness, we're not alone. And it's good to share your strifes and things that you're going through to help other people that are on that same medicine wheel, see how you navigated it, see that they're just not alone.
[00:54:05] Speaker A: They.
[00:54:05] Speaker B: Because, you know, when I have, I sometimes I have a really hard time in life and I'm just like, hey, this is what I'm feeling right now. And I'll get 10 people going, wow, thank you so much for saying something because I thought I was alone in this.
And that's one of the biggest pieces is stepping into that medicine wheel as a lone warrior, but knowing that you are actually a healer for everyone in that space of, you know, living the different archetypes within your story.
[00:54:36] Speaker C: That's awesome. Well, and just like the book title, bringing in a new paradigm, I think you're like a perfect. I just, I'm just mind blown of how much information you've been able to provide for us and how you've been able to open up and really just share who you are, share what you're passionate about, share what, how your story was.
And I think that it's so important because when she came in first into Lola's cabin, we're talking about how if we look back into the past and how like we had this sense of almost like feeling like we were unworthy or broken and there's no such thing because you can always find your, your way back to yourself.
[00:55:22] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:55:22] Speaker C: And that is the true journey that we all have to do do is finding, finding our path back to ourselves. So, yes, first I want to start by thanking you because you brought so much into this interview. And I just, I mean, I just love the person that you are because, I mean, you're speaking my language.
[00:55:44] Speaker B: Right back at you.
Oh, yeah, it's been a true honor. And yeah, the more we do step into our authenticity, into this divineness, the more synchronicities that we experience.
And that's another big part of my journey is divine synchronicity and being aware because it's happening around everyone. But it's that awareness of it that really helps us to get those signs and, and reap what we are sowing. And then Creates that metamorphosis, that journey where the. The caterpillar and the butterfly have the same DNA, but they. It's not a caterpillar, doesn't go in a chrysalis.
[00:56:18] Speaker A: It's.
[00:56:19] Speaker B: And grow wings. It actually dissolves.
[00:56:22] Speaker C: Isn't that crazy?
[00:56:22] Speaker B: And turns into what they call the imaginal disc, which is a caterpillar soup. And then it grows into this new being. And that's basically what we're doing. We all that dissolved ness when we feel like mush, when we feel like this is crazy and dark and we're literally growing our wings.
[00:56:37] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:56:38] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:56:38] Speaker C: I love when I heard about that. I was like mind blowing, but I was like mind blown in such a good way because I'm like, the caterpillar doesn't actually grow wings. It literally deteriorates into like a liquid thing.
[00:56:49] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:56:50] Speaker C: And then it forms and gets rebirthed into something so new.
So that's just awesome.
[00:56:55] Speaker A: And alchemy, that would be solvae e coagula in alchemical terms. And we're walking alchemists all the time. Every time we rebirth our paradigm, part of us dies, doesn't it? The new grows.
Okay. And harmony, once again, Harmony.
