Hyperverbal Autism & Neurodivergent Grief

Podcast (Feathermane Soul Wisdom)May 24, 2026115Views 0Likes 0Comments

I recently came across the term "hyperverbal autism" and it described me perfectly. When I shared the post on social media, many people I knew (who were also neurodivergent) said that explained them too, and the curious thing was, until now, no one had heard the term before. What did we have in common? That…

Trusting In Something Larger Than Yourself

Horse WisdomMay 23, 2026117Views 0Likes 0Comments

Every day my horses tell me about the power of trust. Whether it's the rescue who lets me love on her after being standoffish and skittish for so long, or the senior heart horse who calls for lunch, knowing that I'll do whatever it takes to make sure she's cared for. The roly poly "baby"…

What Wild Spirit Storytelling Looks Like

Wild Spirit StorytellingMay 22, 202695Views 0Likes 0Comments

Last night I was reading through a novella I published back in 2019 in order to update and republish it, and as often happens when I'm reading through my older work, I thought "This is good! I can't believe I wrote this". While this is pretty common among writers, for me it made me stop.…

Why it’s important someone like me is speaking about yoga, chronic illness, and disability

Body Theology, Chronic Illness, Disability, embodied being, my philosophyMay 1, 2026170Views 0Likes 0Comments

CW: This blog discusses fatphobia, body dysphoria, and representation. I've been doing a lot of website updates lately and am thinking about the yoga videos I had over on Chicken Yogi, the predecessor to this site, and moving them over. I've also been thinking about holding meditation and yoga gatherings at least once a month…

Episode 23: There’s No Such Thing As Attracting Struggle

Podcast (Feathermane Soul Wisdom)April 26, 2026171Views 1Like 0Comments

On a recent podcast I heard the hosts talk about how once they stopped focusing on struggle, they stopped attracting it. And I admit, my eyebrows went up. I might have screamed a little too, because there's no such thing as attracting struggle, and we need to stop blaming people for the bad things that…

Why the Wild Spirit?

re-story-ation, wild spiritualityApril 17, 2026145Views 0Likes 0Comments

Spring is the time of renewal, and as I look around at the trees budding, the last remnants of my lilacs still attempt to perfume the air as I walk past, I realized it was time for renewal here at Feathermane Soul. Astute observers may note that I am now talking about Wild Spirit Storytelling(tm)…

Episode 21: Back from Hiatus and a Realignment

Podcast (Feathermane Soul Wisdom)April 12, 2026126Views 0Likes 0Comments

As promised the show is back from hiatus and I wanted to announce a bit of a realignment. I've given the website a bit of a polish and wanted to take a few moments to talk to you about the change in focus that is coming to Feathermane Soul Wisdom. I'll have more announcements in…

What Horses Teach Us About Pressure and Burnout/Overload

Horse Wisdom, neurodivergentApril 4, 2026154Views 0Likes 0Comments

I was listening to an equestrian podcast and a horse trainer was on talking about curiosity and getting a horse to think and engage with its world rather than shutting down. As a horse person, I found what this trainer was talking about very fascinating. First, because I've been in barns with horses who had…

Let’s Talk About “Negative Emotions”

Grief, nervous system regulationApril 3, 2026157Views 0Likes 0Comments

It seems whenever someone starts to talk about difficult feelings like grief or anger, someone usually shuts them down with phrases like "think positive" or "don't be negative". As part of that brief conversation, a value judgment is placed upon whatever the person is feeling, and that is usually that the emotion is negative or…

Feeding Ourselves With The Changing Seasons

Horse Wisdom, wild spiritualityMarch 21, 2026158Views 0Likes 0Comments

If the temperature outside didn't clue me in that the seasons are changing, or the fact that yesterday was the spring equinox, or the two trips I have to make outside after late afternoon feeding--one to open the horses' gates, the other to shut in the chickens who now go inside much later than they…

When Safe Spaces Don’t Feel Safe

nervous system regulation, neurodivergent, SafetyMarch 20, 2026181Views 0Likes 0Comments

One of the strongest lessons I've tried to live by is to not listen to what people say, watch what they do. This could be because I consider it one of the most important things my father taught me. What this means is that when I'm in a space that talks about being safe, or…

How Horses Connect Us To The Natural World

Horse WisdomFebruary 28, 2026248Views 0Likes 0Comments

The more I learn about veterinary chaplaincy and ecospirituality or wild churches, the more I realize something that I've always known. While the deities are important to me, and I have some, including Epona, Celtic horse goddess, that I work with, to me the bigger connection to the sacred is the outdoors and the wild.…

Brief Podcast Hiatus

Podcast (Feathermane Soul Wisdom)February 27, 2026177Views 0Likes 0Comments

There will be a brief break in podcast recording. Right now I am dealing with a cold/illness and I'm also taking a class on Sunday afternoons, which is when I usually record the podcast. The class will be over after next month, so I anticipate the break not lasting more than a few weeks. But…

Can shedding happen too soon? (Horse Wisdom)

Horse WisdomFebruary 21, 2026212Views 0Likes 0Comments

It happens every year. The days get longer and there's a rush of warmth, and I start to see the horses shedding. But just as soon as it begins, the weather cools and reminds us that winter will be here for another month or so. We have early narcissus flowers (daffodils) that often bloom around…

Going Shallow Means Building Walls

embodied being, wellnessFebruary 20, 2026196Views 0Likes 0Comments

The last few months I've been on a mission to stop going shallow. Whether it's with my own writing (fantasy and equestrian fiction) or the work I'm doing with spiritual storytelling, I'm realizing more and more that when we put modalities into silos, for example talking about meditation and mindfulness for stress reduction without discussing…
