Belonging: Conversations about rites of passage, meaningful community, and seasonal living

著者: Becca Piastrelli
  • サマリー

  • Welcome to Belonging, a podcast that explores being alive in the age of loneliness. Becca Piastrelli is your host and guide on a journey of courageous reconnection as we explore topics like rites of passage, cultivating meaningful community, seasonal and cyclical living, and what it means to be a good ancestor in these times. She has thought provoking conversations with friends, teachers, elders, and ancestral medicine keepers to help support you in bringing more meaning and connection to your life. She also pops in here and there to share updates and learnings from her own story because we were meant to do this together - cosmically holding hands as we walk the spiral of life. You can expect to be challenged by new (or old) ideas, face your beliefs and what systems informed them, get curious and brave to tell the truth about the deeper, harder things, and feel comforted in the knowing that you don’t have to navigate it all alone.

  • Practical Magic for Turbulent Times With Carmen Spagnola
    2025/02/06

    In today’s episode, I am joined by Carmen Spagnola - a Le Cordon Bleu-trained chef turned trauma recovery practitioner, clinical hypnotherapist, and kitchen witch. She first appeared on the Belonging podcast two years ago for the release of her first book. Now, she’s back to celebrate her second book coming out: ‘Spells for the Apocalypse: Practical Magic for Turbulent Times’, which offers practical tools for navigating turbulent times and emphasizes the importance of community and resilience in the face of overwhelming challenges. As a chef, author, and facilitator, Carmen holds space for renewal amidst turmoil. Her work is an invitation to re-enchantment, soul nourishment, and a deeper and more animistic relationship to the natural world.

    In our conversation, we reflect on the significant life changes we both have experienced in this past two years. We re-explore the concept of collapse and its emotional and psychological impacts on individuals and communities. We discuss the importance of surrendering to change, cultivating satisfaction in the present and the art of navigating grief and beauty in life’s challenges.

    Tune in to hear more from us on:

    • How dealing with collapse and trauma recovery is both an individual and a communal journey
    • Practical tools for navigating collapse, change and crises
    • The challenges of communal living and regenerative farming
    • How poignance blends pain and beauty together, and enriches our lives
    • Dystopian narratives and media and what they can teach us about our current societal structures
    • Reimagining our relationship with plastics and sustainability
    • Gardening as a reflection of empire and reciprocity
    • Viewing aging as a beautiful process instead of a loss

  • Re-Release: The Meaning of Time With Becca Rich
    2024/12/04

    Today’s episode is a rerelease of the beautiful conversation I had earlier this year with Becca Rich, in celebration of her hosting the 2025 ‘Living in Sync Roundtable’, during which I will be a guest speaker. You can find more details below.

    Becca Rich is a trauma-sensitive, certified holistic coach with a background in engineering and mindfulness, who teaches Holistic Time Management. In this episode, she shares with us her wisdom on the meaning of time, the role of control, how we can honor the cyclical nature of our bodies within our digital calendars and so much more. She also coaches me on the part that grief plays in experiencing loss of time and freedom, especially with having a child.

    Tune in to hear more from us on:

    • The perspective on time that it is everything and that it is short but it is long
    • Time anxiety and feelings of grief at the loss of time freedom with having children
    • Finding satisfaction at the end of the day and embracing a digital calendar liberation practice
    • How to deal with overcommitment and overwhelm
    • The importance of respecting our natural cycles and working with our bodies, minds, and spirits instead of forcing them into a rigid structure

    2024/11/12

    In today’s episode, I am joined by Jessie Harrold, a coach, doula and author of ‘Mothershift: Reclaiming Motherhood as a Rite of Passage’. A couple of years ago, I followed Jessie’s course by the same name and it held me deeply in the depths of my postpartum identity shift. This conversation dives deep in the process of matrescence, the part community plays in this and how, as mothers, we can learn to become recipients of care in ways we don’t always see portrayed online.

    Tune in to hear more from us on:

    • The concept of Mothershift and how to navigate this identity shift postpartum
    • Community as the mother power and how motherhood is shifting people away from hyper individualism
    • What it means for us to be reproductively hyperburdened as humans
    • Menopause and the grandmother hypothesis
    • Postpartum depression and experiencing maternal rage
    • Experiencing a nourishment barrier in receiving care and support and the myth of being perfectly resourced
    • Performing vulnerability on social media
    • The impact of having a baby on relationships and how heteronormativity plays a role in this
