Acerca de esta escucha

From yoga and embodiment to mountains and ultra running, I bring you a podcast that allows us to get to the heart of the wild, messy, complex living of the modern human being.


Welcome to a new form of ascension journey: an embodied spirituality for modern times - one that is grounded, centered in physical reality as we experience what it means to be em-bodied as the wild, beautiful, creative human beings that we are.


I get it. Times are wild right now, and I don't mean that in a good way. Here, we find the path forward that allows us to stay grounded, centered in the spaces that matter most. And, as we cultivate greater presence for the experiences that are unfolding in every moment, let us turn our gaze upwards, reaching towards that which brighter, more beautiful, and entirely possible to experience here on Earth.


Brought to you by Katie, a modern day Earth Priestess, and Embodiment Coach, teaching skillful connection with self, and further, into connection with this Planet Earth. Because you, as the human being that you are, are not here in these times to be taken down by the dark chaos that is happening. And, you are not here to embrace some spiritual bullsh*t that has you taking yourself out of the grounded experience of what is unfolding.


Here, I teach The Embodied Path - the ability to find your grounding, become centered in self, discerning your way through it all. The good news? When we do this, we get to experience life for the joy, the wonder, the beauty, and the bliss that is here. And, we get to solve the very real, serious challenges that our modern world is facing.


that unfolds as we deepen into our present, lived experience for all that it is in these wild, often chaotic, often painful and challenging, yet infinitely beautiful lives lived as human beings. An embodied spirituality: one that demands that we know our very real, very alive world here on planet earth as we simultaneously learn to go within, know ourselves ever-more-deeply, and learn the discerning path of healing, of transformation, and of wild & deep fulfillment.


More about Katie....

When I left my life as a Biomedical Researcher in pursuit of a path that could truly help heal the world, I didn't expect my greatest teacher to come in the form of Earth, herself. But that's what happened! Along with guidance from a diverse set of ancient wisdom traditions (such as yoga, tantra, Buddhism, shamanism, and more), and along with the guidance of some phenomenal modern teachers, I've been able to carve out my own path out of a modern industrial complex and, moment by moment, learn to choose what is healing and nurturing and joyful and fulfilling for myself! Here, I teach this so that you can create your own embodied path as well.

As a trail runner and rock climber, it is my bond with the great outdoors that taught me deep truths about our misalignment with Nature and our own selves. Here, may we step into conversation focused on re-alignment with our true nature. Through it, may we find a better path forward as we heal the deep wounds cut into all living systems.

Systems thinking meets Embodied Living & Holistic Healing: Brought to you by the mind of a Biomedical Engineer turned Yoga & Meditation Teacher.

  • Be the Light in This World: Grounded Practice for Making Real Impact

    Be the Light in This World: Grounded Practice for Making Real Impact
    Jul 3 2025

    Episode Summary

    "Be the light" has become such a common phrase that it's lost much of its transformative power. But what if we could reclaim this concept and turn it into something practical, grounded, and genuinely impactful?

    In this episode, we get to practice what it means to call in and embody "the light," and we get to dive into what it means to apply this in what has become a dark world. As we find our grounding and connect into our own embodied selves, we get to learn to show up for this life authentically connecting to what matters most.

    Key Topics Covered

    • Reclaiming what it means to be the light in a dark world: Moving beyond empty platitudes to embodied action
    • Strategic Service: Being of service where it actually matters and makes a difference
    • Problem-Solving with Purpose: Focusing your energy on solving important problems
    • Staying Centered: Maintaining your groundedness while showing up for life in a way that matters
    • Embodied Practice: Turning inspiration into consistent, meaningful action


    Key Takeaways

    ✨ Spiritual practice requires staying grounded - Without a solid and embodied foundation, our spiritual intentions stay too airy fairy and don't impact what matters

    ✨ Practical service over performance - True impact comes from addressing real needs, not from looking good

    ✨ Centered action is sustainable action - When we stay focused on what matters most, we can maintain our service long-term

    ✨ Kindness is a practice, not just a feeling - Learn how to actively call in kindness rather than waiting for it to happen


    Who This Episode Is For

    • Anyone feeling overwhelmed by the world's problems and wanting to make a meaningful difference
    • People seeking practical ways to be of service
    • Those who want to move beyond inspirational quotes to actual embodied practice
    • Leaders and changemakers looking to ground their impact in what truly matters
    • Anyone ready to reclaim the power of "being the light" through concrete action

    Questions for Reflection

    • Where in your life are you performing "being the light" versus actually embodying it?
    • What important problems are calling for your specific gifts and attention?
    • How can you call in more kindness in your daily interactions?
    • What does staying "grounded and centered" look like in practice for you?

  • Embodying Light: The Journey of an Ultra Running Earth Priestess

    Embodying Light: The Journey of an Ultra Running Earth Priestess
    Jun 20 2025

    Right now, I am up in the big mountains of Colorado, training for my 3rd 100 mile ultra-running event later this summer. Join me as I explore the rugged beauty of the Colorado mountains as I train for this wild 100-mile race. More than just miles and vert, this podcast delves into the profound connection we share with the Earth, inviting you on a journey of embodiment and self-discovery. But the trails are under threat. Powerful forces are at play, attempting to disconnect us from the healing power of nature. That's why it's never been more critical to cultivate discernment, take meaningful action, and reclaim our rightful place in the wild. Join me as we run, reflect, and rise to the challenge, one step at a time.

  • Embody The Mountain - Grounded, Centered, and Present on your paths forward through life

    Embody The Mountain - Grounded, Centered, and Present on your paths forward through life
    May 8 2025

    We have made it! After many episodes this season we are ready to jump into the core theme - the heart, the soul, the inspiration - for The Mountain Mystic Podcast!

    The Mountain. In all her majesty. In all her glory.

    We all know the sayings and the cliches about The Mountain, including its use as a metaphor for our journeys through life. But I want to take you deeper. I am here to invoke The Mountain, to inspire her within you as you call her in, embody her, and let her guide you into connection with life that is grounded, fulfilling as it fills you with light and joy.

    In this practice-centered podcast, we take what we all know about the metaphor of The Mountain and we embody it. We do this through guided visualizations, turning it all into an embodied meditation that you know I love to do in this space!

    Deepen into practice: I have created an entire library worth of guided meditations and embodied activations to help you deepen into this work! Join in at a price that works best for you at upwardslopes.com/library
