In this episode I chat with Becca Piastrelli.Becca is a writer, a women’s coach, and host of the ‘Belonging’ podcast, which is probably my favourite podcast.Becca holds space for women to explore ancestral wisdom, to connect with the earth and to find meaningful and inclusive sisterhood. In the age of loneliness, Becca shows us how to feel like we truly belong to each other, to the earth and to ourselves.One of my favourite weekly rituals and self-care practices is to listen to this podcast. She speaks about ideas which resonates so deeply.Sometimes listening to her feels like a remembering of something I knew long ago.A few weeks ago, in a fit of courage, I reached out to Becca and said, ‘Would you come on my podcast?”, and she said yes!What we talked about:- The nagging sense Becca experienced of not feeling worthy or like she belonged.- Examining her life, relationships and ancestry.- Learning about the witch burning times, the burning times of Europe, and the ancient ways before patriarchal Christianity.- Realising that she held in her system the energies of the oppressor and of the oppressed.- The concept of feeling a lack of belonging is from generations of harm being caused and failing to look at it- Becca realised that she was a descendent of those who had caused great harm.- She now feels a deeper calling to care for herself, her neighbours and the descendants her ancestors harmed.- The age of loneliness. We are more connected via technology that ever before, yet data is showing us that we have the highest levels of anxiety, suicide and depression.- We’ve forgotten how to be neighbours. How to disagree. How to grieve. How to celebrate.- The power in acknowledging and naming our emotions.- The land. Our connection to it and what it teaches us.- Cooking as self-care – or as a nuisance and inconvenience.Connect With Becca:Becca’s ‘Belonging’ PodcastInstagramFacebookWebsiteConnect With Clare:InstagramFacebookMembership
