Textile Artist Christi Johnson on Magic Embroidery & Moving from NYC to Rural NY05 Dec 202500:59:40

Christi Johnson on moving from NYC to upstate New York as an artist who grew up in Florida.

When textile artist Christi Johnson and I spoke in 2018, she shared her story of moving from the city to the country, and it really inspired me. I love how honest she was about how it wasn't all glamorous and easy. But it was worth it.

Fast forward to now, Dec 2025, and I would never have guessed that I'd be going through a similar story! I recently listened to this episode again for my own personal inspiration, and it holds a timeless message about finding your way to places that nourish your deeper needs.

In this conversation we also get into:

  • How naturally dyed textiles and embroidery support healing
  • Christi's ancestral connection to textiles
  • Overcoming fear of sharing her thoughts and work publicly
  • Adornment as self-expression and talismanic protection

When this episode was first published, Christi created a special guide for our listeners about magic sewing and embroidery. Since then that guide grew into a full-blown published book called Mystical Stitches! And now she has a second book called The Art of Embroidery Design.

Christi has so many free and low-cost resources on her website, mixedcolor.net, so if you're interested in sewing, stitching, or magical embroidery, definitely take a look.

She has a pocket altar zine in her workshop section about crafting a sacred space of tiny talisman that you can carry with you.

Christi also has a podcast called Stitch Wish Radio, which you'll definitely enjoy if you liked this episode.

And we brought her back for a second interview on the podcast a few years ago about stitching magic making through talismanic embroidery.

All of this is linked in the show notes.

Thanks and enjoy this episode!

Giving Gratitude & Closing Doors In a Good Way [145 - final DFB episode]27 Jul 201902:00:20

We at DFB are becoming something new…

…and with this new beginning there has been a death to the name and embodiment of Dream Freedom Beauty as you've known and loved it.

So on July 16th we held a live, online funeral to put DFB to rest.

Me, my sister Lizzy (who started DFB with me back in 2015), the DFB team present and past, and several of our listeners all joined together to share how DFB has impacted our lives and to give gratitude to the experiences we've had because of this co-creation.

This is a touching episode, and it marks the official ending of Dream Freedom Beauty before we completely metamorphosize and become something new.

Whether you're a relatively new listener or you've been here since the very beginning, I want to say thank you so much for being part of this community. It still blows my mind that the show has grown to an audience of thousands and made such beautiful impacts on people's lives.

Have a listen to the funeral episode (it's not a bummer at all, I promise!), and stay tuned for the release of our upcoming new embodiment and offerings. I think you'll LOVE them!

Best of DFB: Mushroom Whisperer Tradd Cotter on How Partnering with Fungi Can Help Solve the World [episode 8]12 Apr 201901:02:04

In this Best of DFB we dive into the archives for an episode that holds so much wisdom on how humans can partner with fungi to transform the world for the better. Get ready to get majorly inspired!

We're talking with mushroom whisperer Tradd Cotter of Mushroom Mountain. Tradd reveals how mushrooms and fungi are seemingly miraculous powerhouses that can solve some of the world's most pressing problems. We talk about how to understand the needs and wants of organisms that use non-verbal language, and Tradd shares how he is growing mushrooms in a way that more closely mimics their natural environment while using less energy than traditional cultivation techniques. In this episode you'll learn:

  • The difference between a mycelium and a mushroom - and why it matters
  • How we can work with fungi to reduce our waste as a society
  • How fungi can play a key role in providing food, clean water and protection from mosquito-borne diseases in war-torn areas or in the aftermath of a natural disaster
  • A couple of fun ways you can start partnering with fungi and mushrooms in your own backyard (using birds as stealth bombers)
  • How commitment, observation and constant learning provide a solid foundation for your intuition to guide you in your life's work

"Think like a mushroom."
-Tradd Cotter

This week we are sharing a replay from The Empowered Curiosity Podcast, with Spiritual Business Mentor Kat Lee and Earth Speak Founder Natalie Ross. In this episode, Natalie and Kat share 

Kat Lee is a Trauma-Informed Emotional and Somatic Alchemy Coach, host of The Empowered Curiosity Podcast, and Creator of The Heart Lab. She guides her community to rewrite their relationship to safety, love, trust and belonging so they are able to cultivate conscious relationships and manifest their Dao (purpose). Kat believes that healing is a deep remembrance of who you are + recognizing that you are not broken. She believes that the Body, Mind, and Soul are interconnected and respond best to an integrated approach where all the parts of you are remembered. She believes in leaving room for magic. For slowing down to allow your intuition and Truth to rise to the surface. For finding validation through being rather than doing. For flowing through life being actively allowing rather than grasping. Kat's role as coach and space-holder is to be your mirror and share tools and techniques that lead you back to the clarity of your own Heart and autonomy to make choices that are best for you, your body, and your Spirit

Natalie Ross is the host of the Earth Speak Podcast and co-founder of Earth Speak and the Earth Speak Collective. Natalie is also a trauma-informed marketing coach for spiritual entrepreneurs. She weaves mycelial webs that help people connect with self, community, nature, and spirit for personal and collective healing. Having experienced the debilitating impact of complex trauma (cPTSD), she knows how hard it can be for intuitive, caring people to exist, let alone run a business, in this society fueled by greed and domination. 

In this episode, we talk about:

  • When Natalie realized she didn't want to be a spiritual teacher 
  • How Natalie is now supporting change makers and heart-centered entrepreneurs to get clear on how to communicate their message and their values
  • Changing the paradigm from domination to kinship 
  • Nervous system integration and regulation in business 
  • Healing trauma and creating a business rooted in cycles
  • On questioning whether you are aligned with your path 
  • Co-regulation and biological empathy 
  • Embodying your boundaries through your business 
  • Finding safety and nervous system regulation in community 
  • Making friends with the protective parts of yourself 
  • How Natalie shifted her patterns and found aliveness, ease, and capacity 
  • Natalie's love of bunnies and how working with rescue bunnies changed her life 
  • Embodying boundaries and protecting your energy in business 
  • How BAM has supported Natalie and changed her life 
  • Business as a spiritual practice
  • Building a business that is both rooted in your purpose and your nervous system regulation 
  • Kat shares about her 2022 Business Alchemist Mentorship
