Calling all dog lovers!

In this resource-rich episode, I’m joined by clinical canine herbalist Rita Hogan, who brings over 20 years of experience helping dogs heal naturally. Her new book, The Herbal Dog: Holistic Canine Herbalism Applications and Practice, is a treasure trove of wisdom for anyone who wants their pup to thrive.

Rita shares empowering, easy-to-apply tips for supporting your dog’s health using herbs, nutrition, and holistic care — and many of her insights are surprisingly helpful for humans, too. Whether you're new to herbalism or just love your dog like family, this conversation will give you tools to help them live a longer, happier life by your side.

In this episode, Rita discusses:

• The importance of organ health in dogs
• How she became interested in dog health

• How dogs know when you're not "present"
• The canine nervous system
• Chlorine and histamine

In this episode of Lucid Cafe, I talk with financial advisor and author Elizabeth Husserl about her new book The Power of Enough: Finding Joy in Your Relationship with Money. We explore how our mindset around money shapes not only our finances, but also our sense of self-worth, well-being, and freedom.

Elizabeth offers a refreshing alternative to the endless pursuit of more. She shares how stepping off the treadmill of comparison and accumulation can help us redefine wealth on our own terms — and finally feel good about what we have.

In this episode, Elizabeth discusses:

• Cultural ideas regarding wealth and money
• Redefining money and wealth
• Trust
• Understanding your relationship with money
• Money as a technology
• Financial DNA
• Feeling satisfied and fulfilled
• Opening a dialogue with money
• Wendy shares an example of an unhealthy money story
• Meaning
• The abundance-scarcity loop

In this very special episode of Lucid Cafe, I celebrate the long-awaited release of my new book, Raven’s Daughter: The Story Keeper. After years of dreaming, writing, and behind-the-scenes work, publication day is finally here.

Joining me is my brilliant and hilarious friend Claire Wheeler, who helps me unpack the story, themes, and inspiration behind the book. This is the first time I’m speaking about Raven’s Daughter out loud in any real depth, so it’s part book talk, part soul share — with a few meandering moments along the way.

We explore some of the book’s deeper currents, including our complicated relationship with deception, the influence of artificial intelligence, and our growing disconnection from the natural world. Though it’s a work of fiction, Raven’s Daughter offers an imaginative lens for reflecting on the challenges of our time.

In this conversation, Claire and Wendy discuss:

• The inspiration for Raven's Daughter
• Deception
• How do you know what's true?
• Terror management theory
• The three realities described in the book
• The story's shamanic influence
