Lived Experience: Pregnancy, Labor and Delivery

What happens when you slow down the "girl boss" and shift the focus to finding authentic, heart-centered purpose? Today's guest is inspired by the future, love and community. Let's find out what we could aspire to when the focus is holistic and to meet people where they are at. Does the world need to be mothered on a large scale?We'll explore all of these ideas and more today with Alece.I urge each one of you to check out her website - see where it all began with the eczema creme and soap.Alece's current products and offerings can be found on: https://hellospiritual.com/.

Welcome back - I'm happy you're here. Recently, I've felt the desire to reboot Mer's Net. In this episode, I explore my reasons for the reboot. My ethos with this iteration of Mer's Net is to provide a place for storytelling. I believe deeply that everyone has a story (or stories) to share. Within those stories - I want to find out what their "why" is. I'll share some of my own journey from the last four years and reconnect with past guests of the podcast. I also look forward to meeting new people. If you have a story to share, please reach out. I am slightly harder to find now, but you can always email me: [email protected].

In this episode, I give you all a life update and thank my friend Tay for helping me gain control over my domain again. You can find Tay at https://www.instagram.com/theprescribedpotion/. She also has a podcast called The Prescribed Potion found on all platforms, check her out! I've been on it as well. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this story of synchronicities leading me to find the solution to the mirror-related fuckery. If you know, you know. As always, you can find me on Instagram, but I've changed my name - https://www.instagram.com/merewing_/. You can book readings by reaching out on Insta. We are low tech right now, but the magic is potent. MINI READINGS, the oh so popular, mini readings are back as well. $10 for a mini channeled message. I love that you guys love them as much as I love doing them. Love y'all. Drink your water.

Please enjoy this conversation with my doula and close friend, Meryl Seward. We detail her journey to becoming a doula, what drew her to birthwork and what all of it even means - to us. You can find Meryl at https://www.instagram.com/merylthedoula/. If you have any questions, as always, you can reach out to me. If it's doula related, I can be reached at [email protected] or https://www.instagram.com/lilyflowersdoulacare/.  - We are both getting our certification through Cornerstone Doula Trainings. Our opinions expressed in this episode are just that - our own opinions. Certification is not necessary in some states, but it is something that felt important to me. It should not be a gatekeeping tactic to keep people from doula support though! Note: we say it in the podcast, but it's nice to have it in writing... Doula care is non medical support. https://www.cornerstonedoulatrainings.com/

CW: talking about bringing my child into the world. Thanks for coming back after all this time to hear what I've been up to.

Woah. You've probably all forgotten about Mer's Net... but I haven't forgotten about you! These last few months have been a whirlwind. I explain it all in the intro that I recorded on the same day I interviewed Jessica Reis (which was a couple of months ago). She was gracious enough to join me for a conversation in death work. What is it, how and why we should care are among some of the things we talk about. She answers so many of your questions submitted via my Instagram. Thank you all for the questions and a huge thank you to Jessica for her wisdom. This interview has been one that I've been dying to release (pun intended? Fuck yeah), but just could not find the energy in me to do so until today. Thank you all for your patience and support. As always, be kind to yourselves and those around you, cover your face, and wash your damn hands. Find Jessica Reis: https://www.instagram.com/deathempath/?hl=en | Schedule a call: https://calendly.com/deathempath/1hr-guidance-call-first-call | linktr.ee/Deathempath | Find me: https://www.instagram.com/tarotwithtux/

This week on the podcast, Brittany (AKA: AstroWeatherLady), joins me to talk about solar, lunar and Saturn returns... oh my! Lots of information on this episode. As always, a big thank you to our guest this week. She brings the knowledge, passion and creativity! I hope you'll find her on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/astroweatherlady/ and Etsy https://www.etsy.com/shop/astroweatherlady/. As I mentioned in the intro to the show, Mer's Net may be going to a bi-weekly release schedule. I kept up with the weekly releases for as long as I could, but my hope is that with the less frequent releases I can devote more time to my guests and the conversations that we are having. Thank you so much for listening. You can find me on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/tarotwithtux/, Patreon https://www.patreon.com/mersnet, and book your reading via DM on Instagram or https://tarotwithtux.as.me/schedule.php.

Have you ever wondered about your own past lives or felt called to explore the topic a bit? My dear friend, Audrey, joins the podcast today to talk about past/parallel lives, honoring the death process and passed loved ones. As we recorded this, a loud thunderstorm descended on my home. I chose to leave the thunder in because it felt energetically in tune to what we talked about. You can find Audrey on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/theariadnethread/ where she posts her intuitive musings and offerings or https://www.instagram.com/audrey_in_writing/. Please reach out to myself or Audrey with any questions or things you'd like to hear us cover on the podcast. I'll take any excuse to have her back on! You can find me on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/tarotwithtux/ or Patreon https://www.patreon.com/mersnet. Keep your eye out on my Instagram to lock in your mini reading... To those that joined in for the first round of mini readings to raise money for https://www.instagram.com/healer_wounded/?hl=en's PTSD treatment, THANK YOU. As always, thank you all for listening.

Edit: in the beginning of the episode I refer to something as a trellis. I meant Japanese Torii Gate. Alyssa from Message in a Bottle Healing joins us this week on the podcast to tell us about her modality of healing: Biodynamic Resonance Technique. If you have never heard of it, just settle in and enjoy the show. You can find Alyssa on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/messageinabottle.healing/ or her personal account https://www.instagram.com/alyssameowzoso/. DM Alyssa via the Message in a Bottle Healing account if you'd like to book a session of your own! My Great Grandpa used to call the brain a computer -- and our body is no different. Combine the mental healing you've been doing with some bio-computer healing. Here is a link with more information on the technique. https://www.bio-dynamicresonance.com/ | As always, thanks for listening and be sure to follow me on Instagram or Patreon https://www.patreon.com/mersnet | I am also offering mini readings for $10. 50% of the proceeds go to https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-gabriella-evangeline-the-wounded-healer.

We start off season two of Mer's Net with a solocast. I asked you all for questions and got back some really great ones. Tux and I sat down to answer the questions. Aliens, communication with the other side, intuition/claire senses are just some of the things talked about on today's episode. I did mention not doing 23andme. I recognize this is privilege for me to not feel the need to thanks to other family members being able to keep records. I totally think you all should do whatever you have to do to obtain the answers you seek. I also had planned to record the answer to "how does Andrew feel about being married to a witch" before this came out, but we have had a rough weekend. Doing my best and honoring where I'm at... Be sure to find me on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/tarotwithtux/. All of the important links can be found in my Instagram bio. You can book your reading with me via DM or via the link in my Instagram bio. You can email me at [email protected]. My Patreon is https://www.patreon.com/mersnet where you can find extended episodes of Mer's Net along with a new series I'm releasing during August called Deity of the Day. I also do readings for the Patrons monthly as well. These may be pick a pile readings or me tapping into the collective so you can take what you need. Thanks for listening!
