Adventures of the Earth Momma: Recent Episodes
Earth Momma - Jackie O
Why do we buy things? Specifically, let’s talk about things that are beautiful, interesting, surprising pieces of a visual creation that is art.
I’m going to tell you why I love to buy art myself and why you might as well. Have you bought any really cool prints or original pieces that are framed? You know, even little antique objects that you find at your local store or online still count in my book.
Stuff you might have forgotten.
I have been finding that there are things that I love in life and it seems common to just push things aside unconsciously just simply because of time or the busy-ness of my daily life.
I want to wake that part of you up and say, “HEY! YOU! Lover of things that you love!!! Wake up for a few minutes while you read my article. You won’t regret it because I’m going to poke at your senses and remind you what you love, what inspires you, what makes you remember what you cherish the most in life. Only you know, but my job is to remind you of your DIVINITY, remember?!”
Hey, I could say that I have tips for all single parents but… I’m not a single dad nor will I ever have that experience! I’m sure, however, that some of you dads could potentially benefit from my tips as well.
I became a single mom in July 2012 when I left my marriage of 6½ years. My daughter was 3 and it was the middle of summer, not the best time to do a move. Is there ever a “good time for divorce?)
The main thing is, that I didn’t know what “adventure” I was heading into but that’s exactly what I said to my daughter after strapping her into her carseat, dogs in the back, suitcases stuffed into my SUV: “We’re going on an adventure, honey!” I said with a smile as we followed the moving truck to our new apartment..
I didn’t want her to see into the side of me that was super angry and a bit scared all wrapped up in me.
Work Challenges
At the time, you might remember that we were in a recession. I had already had challenges finding more work than I already had. Finding work in the area in my past expertise with art direction and graphic design wasn’t happening for about two years of searching.
I was working part-time at my former real estate broker’s office for one of my friends. Little did I know that the work would actually decrease and I would need to find something else. I was entering into a binding apartment lease not too far away from the house my daughter was growing up in.
So, finances were already a challenge and they were about to get even harder. I had to get more humble than I was comfortable with.
Sex and Love?
Getting into another relationship right away added an amazing positive benefit to me personally as a woman, but then it became NOT a benefit. Let’s just say for now that I learned a massive amount of information and insight into myself and I don’t regret that experience.
Powerful Words for You
- For whatever situation got you here, know that you and the kids are going to be ok. Seek your own peace & grounding with your own self-care, meditation, journaling. I know you probably have NO time. One moment where you can scoop up some time is when you are in the bathroom or tub… washing dishes can even feel like Zen if you focus on washing one plate at a time, like Alan Watts talked about.
- Seek help with the kids even if you think you don’t need it. Remember that it “takes a village” to raise a child, even when you have a partner.
- Talk to your kids through the whole thing. Share with them your wisdom, hopes & desires so that they feel like they are on board with it. (but NOT seek their therapy) They need to know that you are human and care about how they feel. Encourage them to talk to you ANYTIME they need it.
- Figure out what you need to learn so that you can function: Financial knowledge, cooking, parenting and get local and find support AND seek support online as there are many groups to join with other single moms.
- Who is already around you that can help you? Do your kids have any grandparents or great grandparents? Do you have church members or clergy? Friends? Work friends? (take inventory)
Resources that I Found Extremely Valuable:
- The government. Yes, there are food stamps (now called different things), WIC (Women, Infants Children), welfare and certainly more programs to help support you. I recruited ALL these options for myself so that my daughter and I would not become homeless nor go hungry. Check your state or city resources.
- MOMS Club International. (https://momsclub.org/) I joined that group back when my daughter was an infant and they supported me emotionally and with child care and social events all through it all. I am still great friends with the moms I met in this organization.
- The internet. Social media, online support groups, YouTube for learning ANYTHING. If you don’t have internet at home, go to the library. There are lots of cool events at your local library as well.

(know that my recording software did NOT pick up the singing bowl this time. I will fix it on the next podcast. Just use that moment to have quiet reflection time).I would love to say to you out loud, “Please really let the title of this post sink in: Nothing Is Impossible Without Your Consent.” and then really look at you and see what comes up for you. I cannot imagine that anyone doesn’t know what it means. But really take it to heart and feel it with whatever challenges you are facing today, my friend.
It encapsulates the problems and the solutions that exist today and for many years now, the state of our belief systems around our health (and everything else, for that matter.)
Nothing can make you question a situation more than a crisis. When you hear those diagnoses: “You have cancer. You have asthma. You have chronic fatigue syndrome. You have celiac disease. You have Crohn’s disease….”
What happens after that moment when you hear things like this? I can tell you exactly. Why?
Because I myself was told these things:
“You have asthma.” “You have irritable bowel syndrome.” “You are a chronic depressive person.” “You have hashimoto’s disease.” “You have celiac disease.” “You have breast lumps that are concerning and I recommend removing them….”
… and other things that I don’t wish to go into here because it truly isn’t crucial that you know my whole medical chart.
Because of our conditioning, our social landscape around doctor’s proclamations about ourselves is never questioned in general.
Now, I know that over the years since this all of this began (the awakening of people to knowing that they actually have a choice in their guidance), we have as a whole begun to know that at the very least you have the option of choosing to get a second opinion for diagnosis or other medical guidance that is given to us.
However, WHAT IF…. you finally were able to KNOW that you can heal your body, that your body DOES heal itself?
I’m going to talk about this forever until people actually KNOW this. If you’re tired of hearing it perhaps it’s a clue that you are feeling your conditioning get questioned, as it should. I encourage you to look at your current belief list around your health.
I dare you. I support you in this private mental conversation with yourself that can and WILL change it all, change everything you know about being human and feeling good.
I healed my asthma. I was diagnosed at the age of 6 months old with asthma.
At the age of 47, I was working with a spiritual and life coach who brought into my radar the idea that all the things we have in our scope of belief is a choice.
I’m currently cleansing my digestive system so that I won’t have to be as fearful or nervous around gluten accidentally getting in my food. I’m already there, actually. What a switch from when I was first diagnosed with celiac disease.
It was merited for me to be very careful and conscientious about making sure that I had no cross-contamination of gluten in my food. But that I have been cleansing and healing my gut for the past couple of years, I feel much more emotionally relaxed about it being a “death threat.” My mental state around it is as important as all the other health concerns they wanted me to be wearing labels for.
I’m currently re-building my thyroid situation too. Auto-immune disorders are from inflammation within the system. So let’s reduce our inflammation....

Written and posted by Jackie Olmstead, Sunday, June 16, 2024– Sending massive hugs to you all on this Father’s Day 2024! For me, this holiday is wonderful because I was able to connect to my daughter’s father in person, my father and brother on the phone and my other family members on social media.
Not so pleasant for you?
I know that for some, this holiday isn’t necessarily a happy one. Don’t worry! I’m not here to change your mind about it. I’ve definitely had my times of being at odds with my father and grandfathers.
There have been times in my life that my father and I both stopped communicating with eachother. The reasons why aren’t important here but I think that the time for reflection to myself was essential to me figuring out my own mental reset (do any of these resonate with you too?
My Master Class was the BOMB! I had so much fun with the group! Looking forward to chatting with you my special mommas! Launching next PHASE of my work. Let's do this!

6 tips:
-
I’ve always had a fascination for the beauty of crystals. I would wonder how the Earth could make such a perfectly geometric piece of art, how long it took to create them and didn’t give them much more credit than beauty. (take notice of them)
-
Mostly while growing up, it was about having jewelry that had semi-precious stones or even precious stones but in smaller sizes. My mother loved them, she bought many pieces that I still own today, especially at the end of her life, she sent me a multitude of gorgeous sparkly objects of art. (look at your existing collection)
-
Who knew that crystals actually are healers themselves, that they emit light when striked or that they scientifically are proven to amplify energy?
-
My recommendation is that everyone should have crystals about them.
-
I would suggest walking through the crystal store first to get a feeling about all the beauty they have. If you would like recommendations, I would suggest getting clear quartz first.
-
Spending some time with your crystals every day will definitely help you get to know them.

What is Polarity Therapy? https://polaritytherapy.org/
[excerpt from podcast text] I’ve been reading about and have been a part of ascension before I even knew what it was–the concept of ascension, the word ascension, ascension activities, symptoms.
I can’t talk about ascension without talking about my mother. She took me to a yogi guru when I was eight years old in Denver, Colorado (I’m not 100% sure of either of those two details but that’s what stuck in my mind). He gave me a “mantra” that I was to repeat in my quiet times and times of need for getting grounded. He told me it was absolutely not to be repeated to anyone and I was to come back at a later time to check in with him. I remember feeling very important and said the word to myself as instructed religiously. It felt good to have something that belonged to “me.”
What does it mean to feel sovereign in your body and your mind?
Dictionary.com says: sovereign (ˈsɒvrɪn): adjective (it can be used as a noun as well but for this blog post, I’m only looking at the adjective); belonging to or characteristic of a sovereign or sovereign authority; royal; having supreme rank, power, or authority; supreme; preeminent; indisputable: a sovereign right; greatest in degree; utmost or extreme; being above all others in character, importance, excellence, etc.; efficacious; potent: a sovereign remedy.
The thesaurus has even better ways for me to describe what I mean: Autonomous, independent, self-governed…
All the catch phrases that have become trite and overused are: Mind your own business, who’s #1?, take care of yourself first, put up your boundaries, and the list goes on and on...
To truly feeeeeel it though? It’s freedom truly. For those of you who have suffered trauma growing up in abusive homes or simply weren’t taught how to take care of yourself emotionally or physically, this is especially important to lean into. When you were told to trust and listen to the parent over all your own thoughts and ignore anything that came from inside your own Self.
There’s a lot to this. It is no small matter. It’s like a part of your body was numb your whole life but now as you learn to hear your inner voice and trust yourself more and more, the ping of touch now is new. There is an uncomfortability in FEELING what has been hidden for your life. Oh, I know, you’ve heard it and felt it, but were told that it wasn’t real. That it wasn’t valid and not to listen to it or even acknowledge it.
The new feeling feels RAW. Painful almost sometimes because it is so new, but it’s also like turning on a bright light inside your heart and you feel extreme JOY.
Why is this happening now? I think a multitude of people are going through this. The awakening of our souls on this Earth. This isn’t just an experience for individuals but for all of us, growing together in one form or another, or separate but together on this earth plane. (www.pixabay.com, Myriams-Fotos)
Let’s do an empowering meditation around this concept!

[excerpt from the Podcast:)
...Get to the Tips!
So how can you integrate the beautiful healing available from energy workers and all these amazing workshops that are available and still feel like it’s a safe place to be vulnerable and connected to your highest good? How can you find a good practitioner that is a great match for YOU? Especially if you are new to receiving energy work?
- You must listen to your own inner voice. I know that each of you has one and at times have heard it. It’s simply the awareness of it and acknowledging it. Also, know that just because one person might not feel like a good fit, doesn’t mean that ALL the practitioners of that kind of energy healing are not good. That one person might not be the best fit for you.
- Review some information about the type of healing that you are going to experience. You can evaluate what you might encounter when you have a session. You’ll also have great questions for your practitioner. Ask them for resources if you don’t know where to start.
- Get a referral from someone you know or from ratings online (if you’re not able to intuit if they are a good fit.)
- Be really present and willing to give it a chance.
- Follow up with the practitioner afterwards to give them feedback about your personal experience.
Schedule another one with the same or a different healer and evaluate for yourself what will be in your highest good and review what worked and what didn’t work....
Written and posted by Jackie Olmstead, August 18, 2022 – Last time on my blog, I talked about how to change the healthcare system–you know that big beast of a mammoth–that seems daunting, doesn’t it? Well, until not too long ago, I didn’t think there was a chance.
(sneak peak of why I’m writing this: “…By the way, if you are going to start to shift to a more whole foods plant based diet, I also will tell you that you will need less prescription medicines, less visits to the doctor, less stress about your heal the challenges because you will get better. Yep. Isn’t that the main goal, anyway? BOOM!!!”…)
Lots of miraculous and ridiculous things have changed more than I thought could happen in the world lately. One cool thing has been meeting lots of new healthcare workers who have crossed my path. They talk about how things need to change and they want to be a part of it and are literally doing that. That gave me great hope...

What is Polarity Therapy? https://polaritytherapy.org/
Written, posted by Jackie Olmstead, 6/25/22 – A little boy I met at the pool recently said to me, “Eh! I just pee in the pool…” and continued with telling me another story about his toys and which ones were his favorites, which ones his friends would tend to hog and then ran off to go to the bigger pool to find his Iron Man toy. I was beginning to tell him before this that the community bathroom was locked and we’d have to go all the way around the building to go to the bathroom, when he interrupted me with this knowledge.
It occurred to me like someone had just lifted a major law of the land that: As everyone tries their best to do the right thing, to help people, to call their parents as often as they can, to buy the healthiest food, or just be the best kind of human being you can… sometimes they just end up peeing in the pool anyway. So why are we stressing about it or trying so hard anyway?
I laughed out loud with the boy and he laughed too, thinking it was great that I found his comment so humorous. Somehow it was freeing to hear that other humans on this planet weren’t perfect either.
Because I felt such a strong insistence on doing the right thing my whole life, it’s been so gratifying to see and hear others not always being that way either.
I nodded as I walked away as life continued around me while I savored this funny boom of a comment in my mind.
“People just end up peeing in the pool anyway.” Why do we think that no one else is sometimes taking shortcuts? Or just being human? Or just not worrying as much about what it is we think is being perfect?”
Musings from the seven year old elevated my psyche and made my own inner seven year old feel a little more free that day.
The beauty of just living our lives, not stressing over the smaller details that every single action and thought that crosses our minds will hinder or hurt others around us. I’m not talking about actually doing things deliberately to hurt or have a disregard for others at all.
What things have you been holding on to in order to be perfect in your own life? I don’t know, like do you feel like you HAVE to clean the toilets in a certain amount of time or bad things will happen? Deep down? Silly example, but what if you skip it one time, do it at a totally different time or day? …to do something else that makes you even happier in that moment, to mix up your rhythm? Nope, I’m not encouraging you to stop doing the things you need to do.
I’m asking you to look at your daily habits and feel inside which do you make yourself a little crazy over. It goes along with the thoughts of “What if I drive a different way to work all week this week? What if I just did my routine a bit differently? What will happen to my energies around my creative psyche?
I’m going to tell you that your inner child will smile at you. Think you are crazy and they will love it. They will giggle. Because I believe our inner kids think we have become really really BORING as adults. Guess what? You probably HAVE become boring.
I do from time to time realize that my routines need to be shaken up a bit to remember what’s important. When I drive to my usual destinations but on a different route, I see neighborhoods perhaps that I’ve never seen before or that have changed since the last time I was there.
Businesses have closed down, moved or look different. Or they have survived this stupid lockdown craziness from the last two and a half years, and I applaud them out loud, “Yeah! Oh thank goodness they are still here!” or “Oh $hit, oh no, when did they close down?”
I sincerely implore you to take your time in freeing up your creative, younger you simply by doing the adulting thing differently. The energies HAVE to change when you do this. A shift happens whether you actually intended it or not. Or like it. It’s a beautiful thing, being human and being open to the joys that we often miss every day. They are there. You just don’t see them anymore or forgot--Earth Momma
What do you do? Because these times truly test you for when you’re either all out of balance yourself or your world around you is spinning super out of balance itself. And guess what? You need to grasp onto your own central point so that the winds, storms or people around you that are far from grounded will not thwart your own ability to function today. Yep and that’s it, just for today, because that is all we can grapple with.
Sometimes I find myself in those moments (like today) where I am using old stuff to get myself connected. Like social media, talking to people at work, shopping when I don’t need to, driving on fast roads like freeways when I truly don’t feel like it’s the best path.
Today I had to just take the longer road home from one of my destinations so that I was sure of my “stepping”. I scheduled myself to do exercise that I would normally be doing anyway by blocking out the time on my calendar. It’s an all-encompassing inner search for what can help me get my shit together (“get grounded” everyone says, but I like to throw in swear words to keep it real for myself, somehow grounding doesn’t have the potency that getting my shit together has).
The main thing is stopping in your tracks. Can you do that today? For real, sometimes it’s going into the bathroom (wherever you are) and looking at yourself in the mirror and saying out loud, “what can I do right now to help me get my shit together?” and say out loud what you “hear” if you do hear or see anything in your brain. I know you have the ability to sense what’s the best thing for you right now...

In today’s show I will give you a simple meditation to use right now, and then read you a blurb from the latest writing adventure that I contributed to from last year’s book that was titled Disease Reversal Hope!
Before I get into it today, I love to always tell you my best words of advice about gathering information:
Please read and listen to information you find here and anywhere with discernment. And what I mean is, look things up on your own to confirm what you need to know and understand. Feel free to ask me questions. Not everyone has the whole truth, but when I look through and see multiple sources that contain similar or exact information, AND it resonates with me, then I sit with that until further or different knowledge is gathered. Does that make sense????
Here’s my core belief:
“In all that I do, I believe in challenging the status quo. I believe in trusting our bodies to heal themselves. The way I challenge the status quo is by teaching clean living by what we eat, what we allow around us and all that supports our bodies to heal themselves.”
To do this, we must first get quiet and learn about who we actually are. One of the things I highly recommend is to look up your astrological natal chart. If you’ve never looked it up, it’s basically where all the planets aligned themselves the moment you were born. It’s fascinating!
Here’s a website where you can look it up for free: ASTRO.COM under “Free Readings”. Ideally, you need to know your exact time of birth (within 10 min), place of birth and of course year.
I’m going to do a short guided meditation here since we’re practicing connecting and BEING in our bodies as it relates to the Earth and our higher selves. PLEASE do this only if it’s safe for you to close your eyes and be very relaxed. Save this podcast for later times of meditation…
