In this February episode of Triggers in Spiritual Medicine, Laura is joined by mystic, author, and embodied truth teller Coco Oya for a conversation that moves far beyond surface level spirituality and into the bones of real healing.

Together, Laura and Coco Oya explore what happens when women’s circles stop bypassing discomfort and begin addressing the deeper ancestral, racial, maternal, and embodied wounds that live in the body. Drawing from Coco Oya’s powerful book Digging for Mother’s Bones, the conversation invites listeners to reconnect with the wisdom of the body, the womb, and the feminine creative force that has been suppressed, misunderstood, or diluted into “love and light” spirituality.

Coco Oya shares her journey from being a self described non feeler to fully embodying feminine power after a near death experience, and how that initiation revealed the collective mother wound that so many carry, often unconsciously. Laura and Coco Oya speak candidly about what it means to move from a mindset of being broken or needing to be fixed into remembering our inherent wholeness.

This episode weaves together embodiment, ancestral healing, racial truth telling, and the necessity of moving beyond band aid approaches to healing. They reflect on the discomfort that arises when spiritual spaces avoid hard conversations, and why true sisterhood requires honesty, accountability, and a willingness to feel what lives in the body rather than label or bypass it.
They also explore the balance between feminine and masculine energies, with women as alchemizers of energy and men as guardians of land and life, and how both are needed to restore harmony. The conversation touches on current global turbulence, bodily symptoms during times of rapid energetic change, and why trusting the body’s intelligence is essential as humanity moves through this pivotal threshold.

As always, this episode offers reflection, truth, and practical spiritual medicine, inviting listeners to turn triggers into transformation and remember the wisdom they already carry.

Links to Coco Oya’s book Digging for Mother’s Bones and her upcoming women’s gathering and meditation space are included in the show notes.

ABOUT TRIGGERS & SPIRITUAL MEDICINE PODCAST:

Real talk. Let's address the elephant in the room to the growing "sickness" in our society, address root issues and provide sustainable solutions.

We hope by addressing the intersectionality and connect the dots like a web of many of society’s challenges, we can help others understand the trauma infection that impacts all areas of life – addiction, domestic violence, racism, homelessness, sexual abuse, chronic health issues, cancer, environmental issues, climate change and more.

In this NEW collaborative program, we hope by highlighting these infected areas and what they share in common, a new perspective of solutions, healing, and resolutions can be birthed.

Each episode addresses a certain trigger while offering the spiritual medicine with at least 3 tips or actionable steps our listeners can take and implement.

In this episode of Triggers in Spiritual Medicine, Laura reflects on the 12 Omen Days observed at the threshold between years and what they reveal about the energetic, relational, and collective themes unfolding in 2026.

Rather than predictions or bypassing, this episode offers a grounded, embodied reading of the signs, symbols, encounters, and disruptions that appeared day by day. From animal messengers and meaningful human interactions to silence, proximity, disenchantment, and quiet completion, these Omen Days revealed a pattern not of urgency, but of discernment.

This is a year that does not ask us to push, chase, or perform our way forward. It asks us to listen, to notice what approaches organically, and to recognize what has quietly withered and completed its cycle.

Laura weaves together lived experience, ancestral patterning, nervous system wisdom, and spiritual sobriety to explore what kind of web we are actively creating through our choices, relationships, boundaries, and presence.

This episode is an invitation to slow down, release illusion, and consciously participate in what you are weaving — personally, collectively, and ancestrally — as we move through 2026.

In This Episode, We Explore:

• The meaning of the 12 Omen Days and how they map the months ahead
• Patterns of proximity, timing, and trust
• Why stillness preceded movement
• The role of discernment over expansion
• What completes quietly versus what demands attention
• How to live 2026 without forcing clarity or bypassing complexity
