The thing about baking is, you don't have to be a baker to do it. That loaf in the video is a seeded sourdough. You're watching it get scored, coil folded, and rolled in seeds. It looks like it took years to learn. It didn't. It took someone willing to show up and try, and someone willing to show them how. That second part is what we do. We're not here to sell you anything. We run a kitchen where regular people learn to bake real bread, together. Every week In Crust & Crumb Academy we pick a recipe we prepare you for it all week long. The dough, the shaping, the scoring, all of it. Then Saturday morning we bake it together, bakers from all over the world, same recipe, same morning. Brand new or twenty years in, doesn't matter. You bring the curiosity, we'll bring the rest. Free recipes to get started: https://skoo.ly/s/recipe-pantry Come find us: https://skoo.ly/crust-crumb-academy Come bake with us.

Yesterday inside The Spiritual Healers, we did this beautiful chain of support and love... This is how it works: You write in the comments "Today I want to hear (read)…" No explaining yourself, no shame. And after that you go find someone else's and reply. Some examples from yesterday post: Someone asked to hear that her work matters. Someone else asked for prayers for her mum on the way to A&E... we just stopped and answered her. Can we do it here today? Drop yours below 👇 Today I want to hear… I'll go first: today I want to read that love and support wins over competition. 💜 skool.com/spiritual-skool

Medical establishment. 9/11. Big Pharma. Subliminal ads. The matrix. And the very reasonable suspicion that "normal" was always just a trick to keep us obedient and quiet. Nobody got cancelled. Nobody left. Nobody even lowered their voice. Turns out when you put a room full of spiritual practitioners together... people who think too much, question everything, and got sent to the principal's office way more than average, the conversations get interesting fast. We didn't find each other by accident. The tin foil hats are optional. The questions are mandatory. And there's no algorithm here telling you to keep it safe. Come be weird with us. 👇 skool.com/spiritual-skool

For years, I worked inside our local hospital’s Women’s Health Center running a thriving private practice. And over and over again, someone would ask about my education. I’d start sharing my certifications in hypnotherapy, somatic work, nervous system regulation… and then almost inevitably they’d interrupt. “No, I meant your higher education.” I still remember the feeling of those moments. The subtle shift in the room. The way the energy changed almost instantly. Like I had somehow become smaller in the conversation. Like I had accidentally stepped into a room I hadn’t fully earned the right to be in. Even though I was helping people. Even though the work was working. Even though I knew what I was doing. So in my 50s, I went back to school. I earned a bachelor’s degree in complementary and integrative health, then another in health marketing and communications, and eventually a master’s degree in communications. And honestly, part of me absolutely loved it. I love learning. I probably would have kept going forever. But if I’m being truthful, another part of me was trying to solve something much deeper. I was trying to become unquestionable. Trying to finally feel safe in rooms where I had spent years feeling like I needed to prove I belonged there. And here’s what I understand now that I couldn’t fully see then: The nervous system will often try to solve belonging through achievement. More credentials. More proof. More becoming. As if safety exists somewhere on the other side of finally being enough for everyone. But real belonging doesn’t come from convincing people who already decided not to see you clearly. It comes from returning to yourself even when the room doesn’t hand you permission. The degrees were beautiful. I’m grateful for every one of them. But they didn’t heal the part of me that believed I had to earn my right to exist in the room. That healing came differently. Honestly, I think a lot of women are still trying to achievement their way into feeling safe. Worthy. Respected. Chosen. Enough.
