    In this episode, I’m joined by Steve Rio, co-founder of Enfold in British Columbia. Steve and his wife, Austin, support people exploring 5-MeO-DMT.

    We talk about what draws people to this work, how Enfold approaches preparation and readiness, and the role of somatic support and integration. Steve shares how they think about supporting people through trauma and emotional material, and why the care surrounding an experience matters before and after the ceremony.

    From Self-Made to Spirit-Led with Danette May

    What happens when the way you created success is no longer the way you are meant to move forward?
    In this episode of Body Wisdom Rising, Alyssa sits down with world-renowned mentor, best-selling author and visionary entrepreneur Danette May for a deeply honest conversation about loss, spiritual awakening, intuition and surrender.
    Danette shares how her work evolved from nutrition and fitness into something far more spiritual: helping people reconnect with the divine wisdom already living within them. She opens up about the personal initiations that shaped this evolution, including the loss of her son, depression, profound upheaval and a recent chapter that caused her to question what was true, what was real and who she could trust.
    They explore what it means to develop spiritual gifts while remaining grounded, why Danette is careful not to position herself as the authority over another person’s truth and how she is learning to stop driving every part of her life and allow herself to be guided.
    Danette also shares the story behind Soul Writing, the deeply personal practice that is now becoming a new show and offering, and why she believes our intuition is one of our most valuable forms of wisdom.
    In this conversation:
    • How Danette’s work evolved from fitness and nutrition into spiritual teaching
    • The personal initiations that catalyzed her awakening
    • How loss and depression can unravel what is no longer true
    • Navigating spiritual gifts without giving away your sovereignty
    • The fear of becoming visible in spiritual work
    • Learning to trust messages from the other side
    • Why Danette stopped trying to be the agent, jockey and racehorse
    • Moving from force and control into receptivity and surrender
    • The origins of Soul Writing
    • Why your intuition is gold, especially when something feels off

    After moving through chronic illness, emotional trauma, and a profound nervous system collapse, Krysta began rebuilding her life and creative work from the ground up. She is the creator of The Oracle, an app that brings together astrology, Human Design, and Gene Keys to help women reconnect with who they are and what they are here to create. She is also the host of Rewilding Humanity, a podcast exploring healing, awakening, reclamation, and rebirth.

    This is a powerful conversation about what can emerge when the life and identity we once knew fall away. Let’s get into it.

    In Between Chapters: Surviving Eclipse Season

    24/08/2026 | 35 mins.
    Send us Fan Mail
    Eclipse season feels strange because we’re crossing a threshold where one story is ending while another is already beginning, and your body often registers the shift before your mind can explain it. We break down what eclipses actually are, why the North Node and South Node matter, and how to track real-life endings and openings without spiralling into fear. 

    • why eclipse season can feel foggy, emotional, and physically intense 
    • what a solar eclipse and lunar eclipse are in simple terms 
    • how the North Node and South Node describe growth versus the familiar 
    • what a South Node eclipse in Leo can complete around identity, attention, and performance 
    • what the Aquarius Leo nodal cycle asks of us around community, belonging, and contribution 
    • how Pisces Virgo themes show up as control versus surrender, structure versus flow 
    • how to use your birth chart, degrees, houses, and aspects to see what you’ll feel most 
    • what conjunctions, oppositions, and squares to an eclipse can bring up 
    • practical ways to move through eclipse season with discernment, rest, and journaling 
    • past eclipse cycles to review so you can spot repeating patterns and turning points 

    It would mean the world to me if you just take a quick moment to leave a review. 
    All the information for the calling is in the show notes. We start September 3rd.

    Trauma, Psychedelics & the Path to Real Transformation With Dr. Jesse Hanson

    05/08/2026 | 57 mins.
    Send us Fan Mail
    Big realizations are easy to chase. Lasting transformation is harder, quieter, and way more embodied. Alyssa sits down with Dr. Jesse Hanson, PhD psychologist and somatic healer, to unpack why so many people have powerful insights, breathwork highs, or psychedelic experiences, then land back in the same loops a few weeks later. We trace the difference to bihemispheric healing: weaving clear left-brain understanding with right-brain somatic experience so your nervous system, posture, breath, and relationships actually change.

    We dig into what “safe space” really means, and why energetic safety is not enough without relational safety. Jesse shares how preparation, trauma education, and clinical frameworks like EMDR-informed approaches, parts work, attachment patterns, and nervous system regulation can prevent people from feeling broken when old material rises. Alyssa adds the lived reality of trauma residue surfacing in a well-held container, and how co-regulation and asking for help can become the moment where the body finally learns something new.

    You also hear a grounded map for trauma reprocessing and integration, including why corrective experiences matter, why the work is the work whether or not plant sacraments are involved, and how language like “you are the medicine” can bring your power back home. Jesse closes by sharing new offerings, including the Wisdom Collective for men and a practitioner-focused training around trauma reprocessing mastery, plus details on our co-hosted Costa Rica retreat (January 17 to 23). If this conversation sparks something in you, subscribe, share it with a friend, and leave a review. What would change if you trusted your body to lead?

About Body Wisdom Rising
Body Wisdom Rising is a podcast for people navigating deep change — awakenings, identity shifts, healing, and the sense that the old ways of living no longer work.We’re living in a time of collective disillusionment and awakening. Many are being asked to slow down, feel more, and re-orient their lives — often without support from systems that were never designed for this kind of transformation.This podcast offers a grounded way to make sense of these experiences by reconnecting to the body as teacher, the Earth as stabilizer, ancestral wisdom as context, and spiritual support rooted in lived experience.I’m Alyssa Stefanson, Somatic and Ancestral Healing Guide, and host of Body Wisdom Rising. Each episode weaves together somatic healing, nervous system regulation, ancestral remembrance, and earth-based wisdom to support personal and collective healing.We speak honestly about initiation, death-and-rebirth cycles, trauma, addiction, disconnection, and what becomes possible when familiar identities fall away and something deeper begins to emerge.If you’re navigating change and looking for a grounded, embodied way to understand what’s happening — you’re in the right place.Body Wisdom Rising — where remembering becomes medicine.IG: @wildfemininerise
