  Mynd Myself: A Curated Space for Complementary and Integrative Health | Esther Sarlo 02.10.2026 26min

  We have access to more health information than at any other point in history. And somehow, figuring out who—or what—to trust has become harder than ever. Search for almost any health question online and you’ll find thousands of articles, videos, opinions, products, practitioners, and promises. And when you step into the world of Complementary, Holistic, and Integrative (CHI) Health, the possibilities become even greater—but so does the challenge of navigating them. How do you find credible in...

  Awakening from the Matrix: Reclaiming the Life That’s Your Own | Henry Hawk 01.10.2026 23min

  The blue pill or the red pill? There’s a moment when the familiar begins to feel strange. You’re going through your day, doing what you’ve always done, and suddenly you wonder how so much of your life became something to get through. You followed the instructions. Earned the degree. Got the job. Took on the payments. Each promise of freedom came with another obligation—and living kept slipping further into the future. After the debt. After the next promotion. After retirement. But somewhere i...

  The Inner Sanctuary: Finding Safety in an Uncertain World | Dr. Melanie Gray 29.09.2026 24min

  The world can change faster than our bodies know how to process. Political division, economic uncertainty, violence, technological disruption, climate anxiety, changes in our communities, and the constant stream of troubling information can leave us feeling as though the ground beneath us is always shifting. Even when we are physically safe in the present moment, our nervous systems may remain braced for what could happen next. In this episode of Rooted & Wild, Henry welcomes Dr. Melanie ...

  Music as Medicine: Emotional Healing & the Art of Being Present | Penn Johnson 28.09.2026 28min

  What if the song you need most is the one that helps you finally feel what you’ve been carrying? A familiar melody can bring back a moment you thought you’d forgotten. A lyric can give words to grief you’ve never quite been able to explain. And sometimes, simply listening gives an emotion enough space to rise without asking us to fix it first. In this episode of Rooted & Wild, Henry Hawk welcomes songwriter, musician, and somatic mentor Penn Johnson for a conversation about music as medic...

  Your Innate Pace: Reclaiming Your Intrinsic Autonomy & Authenticity | Amy Rogg 27.09.2026 24min

  What happens when you stop living at the pace the world taught you—and begin listening for the pace that was yours all along? In this episode of Rooted & Wild, I’m joined once again by Amy Rogg for a deeply personal conversation about autonomy, authenticity, and what Amy describes as our innate pace—the rhythm that begins to emerge when we are no longer constantly responding to external expectations, urgency, pressure, or someone else’s definition of who we should be. So much of modern li...

  A Stepwise Guide to Physical & Mental Discipline | Juan Carlos Pleitez 26.09.2026 17min

  What if discipline isn’t about pushing yourself harder—but creating a life that requires less unnecessary effort? In this episode of Rooted & Wild, I’m joined by Juan Carlos Pleitez for a practical conversation about physical and mental discipline, and how simplifying the way we approach our days can give us something many of us desperately need: more time, more energy, and less stress. We often associate discipline with intensity. Wake up earlier. Work longer. Exercise harder. Squeeze an...

  When Astrology Meets Geography: Understanding AstroCartoGraphy | Leslie McGuirk 25.09.2026 23min

  What if your birth chart isn't only written in the stars—but stretched across a map of the world? In this episode of Rooted & Wild, I’m joined by Leslie McGuirk for an introduction to the fascinating world of AstroCartoGraphy—a branch of astrology that explores the relationship between your birth chart and specific locations on Earth. Most of us are familiar with the idea of a natal chart: a snapshot of the sky based on the date, time, and place of our birth. AstroCartoGraphy takes that s...

  Fawning, People-Pleasing & the Nervous System: When Survival Looks Like Being “Nice” | Luis Mojica 24.09.2026 23min

  What if being “nice” isn’t always a personality trait—but sometimes a survival strategy? In this episode of Rooted & Wild, I’m joined again by Luis Mojica, founder of Holistic Life Navigation, for a conversation about fawning, people-pleasing, boundaries, and the nervous system—and what can happen when keeping other people comfortable becomes one of the ways we learn to keep ourselves safe. Most of us are familiar with the language of fight, flight, and freeze. But our responses to percei...

  Non-Drug Alternatives for the Treatment of Asthma & Allergies | Dr. Brad Wolf 23.09.2026 21min

  What if managing asthma and allergies could involve looking beyond symptoms to explore the broader environment in which those symptoms occur? In this episode of Rooted & Wild, I’m joined again by Dr. Brad Wolf for a conversation about non-drug and complementary approaches that may support people living with asthma, allergies, and respiratory sensitivities. For Brad, this subject is also personal. His own childhood experiences with asthma, allergies, and recurring illnessbecame part of wha...

  The Magic of Mabon: Harvest, Gratitude & The Autumn Equinox | Henry Hawk 22.09.2026 29min

  There comes a moment every September when summer begins to loosen its grip. The sunlight turns more golden, shadows stretch a little farther across the ground, apples grow heavy on their branches, and darkness arrives a little earlier each evening. Something is ripening. And something is ending. In this seasonal episode of Rooted & Wild, Henry explores the magic, history, astronomy, mythology, and traditions of Mabon and the Autumn Equinox—one of the great turning points in the journey of...

  Movement Mapping: From Dance to Nervous System Repair | Aline Wachsmuth 21.09.2026 21min

  What if the way you move is telling a story your conscious mind doesn't even realize it's telling? In this episode of Rooted & Wild, I’m joined again by Aline Wachsmuth for a fascinating exploration of movement mapping—and how her lifelong relationship with dance eventually became part of the way she understands the nervous system, pain, compensation, and healing. Long before Aline began working therapeutically with the body, she understood movement through dance. Dance teaches us to noti...

  When Tired Became a Status Symbol: Breaking the Culture of Perpetual Exhaustion | Dr. Melanie Gray 20.09.2026 22min

  We live in a culture that has made exhaustion strangely competitive. Ask someone how they are doing, and the answer is often some version of the same thing: busy, overwhelmed, stretched thin, running on fumes. One person mentions getting five hours of sleep, and someone else responds with three. Calendars stay full, rest comes with guilt, and being constantly needed can begin to feel like proof that our lives matter. But what happens when perpetual exhaustion becomes so normal that we no long...

  Can You Feel Someone's Energy? The Science & Mystery of “Vibes” | Henry Hawk 19.09.2026 34min

  We’ve all experienced it. Someone walks into a room and something changes. Maybe you immediately feel at ease. Maybe you’re drawn toward them. Maybe every instinct tells you to keep your distance. Sometimes a person can change the entire atmosphere of a room without saying a single word. We call it chemistry, intuition, presence, a gut feeling, energy... or simply a vibe. But what are we actually feeling? In this episode of Rooted & Wild, Henry explores the mysterious space between human ...

  The Sixth Sense: How Much Are You Perceiving Without Knowing It? | Henry Hawk 18.09.2026 28min

  Most of us grew up learning that human beings have five senses: sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch. But your body is actually receiving and processing far more information than those familiar five—and much of it happens without ever entering your conscious awareness. In this episode of Rooted & Wild, Henry explores the extraordinary world of human perception and the hidden sensory systems quietly operating every moment of your life. From proprioception, the vestibular system, interocep...

  You Are Electric: The Strange Science of the Bioelectric Body | Henry Hawk 17.09.2026 43min

  Your body is generating electricity right now. Every heartbeat, every movement, and every signal traveling through your nervous system depends on electrical activity. But the electrical story of the human body goes much deeper than the heart and brain. In this episode of Rooted & Wild, Henry explores the fascinating world of bioelectricity: from Luigi Galvani’s twitching frog legs and the experiments that helped inspire the age of Frankenstein, to the giant squid that transformed neurosci...

  “Everything Is Energy”… But What Does That Actually Mean? | Henry Hawk 16.09.2026 37min

  We say it all the time: everything is energy. But what do we actually mean when we say it? In this solo episode of Rooted & Wild, Henry Hawk explores one of the most familiar phrases in modern spirituality by following the idea of energy through physics, biology, quantum theory, ancient healing traditions, consciousness, psychic perception, and energy healing. What begins with the scientific story of energy quickly leads somewhere stranger. Henry explores the quantum world, why Ant-Man an...

  The Breath Behind the Breath: Why Spirit, Life & Air Became Entangled | Henry Hawk 15.09.2026 40min

  What if one of the most ordinary things you do every day is also one of humanity’s oldest spiritual mysteries? In this solo episode of Rooted & Wild, Henry Hawk explores why breath, spirit, life, and air became so deeply entangled across human history. Long before anyone understood oxygen, carbon dioxide, the lungs, or the nervous system, people recognized something profound: the living breathe, and when life ends, the breath disappears. Travel across thousands of years of history as Henr...

  The Spark of Life: What Actually Makes You Alive? | Henry Hawk 14.09.2026 37min

  What makes you alive? It sounds like a simple question, but the deeper you go, the stranger it becomes. In this solo episode of Rooted & Wild, Henry Hawk explores the mystery of life through science, philosophy, theology, ancient wisdom, and human experience. From Aristotle’s ideas about the soul and Darwin’s theory of evolution to abiogenesis, the Big Bang, the extraordinary conditions that allow life to exist on Earth, and humanity’s enduring belief in a Creator, this episode asks what ...

  The Health Wealth Connection To Relieving Pain | Njideka N. Olatunde, ND, PhD, MSW, CRI 13.09.2026 15min

  What if wealth isn't only about how much money we have, but about whether our resources support a life in which we can actually be well? In this episode of Rooted & Wild, I’m joined again by Dr. Njideka N. Olatunde, ND, PhD, MSW, CRI, founder of the Focus On Healing Wellness Institute, to explore an often-overlooked relationship: the connection between financial wellness, physical health, emotional stress, and our experience of pain. Dr. Olatunde’s work takes an unusually broad view of pa...

  When Spaciousness Disappears: Healing Compression in Body, Mind & Culture | Amy Rogg 12.09.2026 23min

  What happens to us when there is no longer enough space to simply be? In this episode of Rooted & Wild, I’m joined once again by Amy Rogg, creator and facilitator of Underbelly: The Art of Slowing Down®, for a deeper exploration of something many of us experience but may struggle to name: compression. Compression can show up physically as tension, bracing, shallow breathing, constriction, or the feeling that we need to make ourselves smaller. It can happen mentally when our attention beco...
