In this episode, we talk to Hannae Syd, Kelsey Branca, and Erin Aquarian (AKA my fellow reclaim and revolt! facilitators). We discuss gut health, body image, the political climate, and so much more! 

Facilitator Bios:

Hannae Syd (@hannae_syd) is a nonbinary holistic gut witch devoted to the land, indigenous solidarity, fermentation, and magic. She is an herbalist, farmer/ gardener, home cook and fermentation enthusiast. Her life and gut healing work is lived as an effort to decolonize our internalized, inherited cultural attitudes towards land, food, health and the body. This self healing work is driven by slowly building close relationships with plants and our own ancestral food & healing ways. Through these simple grounding rituals we can become more accepting of ourselves and show up for the greater good with profound respect & reverence. She believes in self care, community, the power of body wisdom, unshaming our whole selves, healing the gut and trusting the gut.

Erin Aquarian aka @fulltimewitch is an intuitive healing artist, radical mystic based in Portland, OR. Her life and work are dedicated to the collective healing and liberation of all people and this planet.

Her work with tarot focuses on supporting human beings in becoming more empowered within themselves (mentally, emotionally, spiritually) and in their lives (relationships, career and soul's path.) Her approach is anti-oppression and trauma informed, and she recognizes the unique challenges that modern people are facing in these times -- and that we are not all starting out on an equal playing field. Erin is committed to offering healing that meets people where they are at and is non-appropriative, accessible, and intersectional.

Kelsey Branca aka Deep Sea Astrology is a multi-faceted queer femme astrologer. Trained as a community health advocate and researcher, she believes in the importance of examining socially constructed realities before applying them to of our relationship with the planets. Kelsey's astrological lens is informed by her experiences as a chronically ill plant witch, foster parent, rural born and raised white woman, and unapologetic radical deep lez water creature. Kelsey's astrology practice is based in an anti-oppression framework and she is committed to uplifting marginalized voices and dismantling systems of oppression.

Lacy Davis (@lacyjdavis) is a writer, podcaster, and lifting coach. She own a gym called Liberation Barbell and wrote a book called Ink in Water: An Illustrated Memoir (Or, How I Kicked Anorexia’s Ass and Embraced Body Positivity). She currently hosts Flex Your Heart Radio, which is a podcast about fitness, feminism, eating disorder recovery, taking risk and crushing it at life.

Today everything Lacy does comes down to one defining thought: We do not owe anyone a certain body. We do not need to apologize for what we look like or what we’ve eaten. Exercise is not a punishment to atone for sins of consumption.

The only way we can actively respect our bodies is to seek total body liberation. Liberation from rules we make up for ourselves or that companies make up to sell us products. Liberation from self hating practices that hurt our physical, mental and social health. Liberation from secrets and shame around food and body. Intuitive eating and movement are a part of Lacy's reach toward Liberation.
