The Benefits of Sustainable Agriculture, Land Stewardship and Power of Magnificent Mushrooms

There's a major topic I haven't touch on yet on the show, and it may be the most important; how to care for the ultimate Woman, Mother Earth. Miranda Ganci is an agriculturist, Plant Pathologist, and advocate for land stewardship, sustainable agriculture, and Climate and Ecological justice and she shares with us just how we can care for the Great Mother and be better stewards of her Earth.

Show Notes

Anyone who knows me, knows you can win over my heart with some good plant-based food. Miranda Ganci did just that when I stayed with her at her lovely airbnb in Northern California. She cooked up a variety of mushrooms and it was fantastic! As Miranda informs me on the show, I am a Mycophile, A Mushroom devotee! Maybe you are too! Miranda is an agriculturist, Plant Pathologist, and advocate for land stewardship, sustainable agriculture, and Climate and Ecological justice. Her dream is to one day grow all her own food and help educate children and all people on how to be more mindful of our environment, sustainability, and being a steward of the land. She is doing many of these things now as she shares about on this episode. Miranda and I have a fun-gi filled chat about the state of things in our world in terms of environment, food waste, convenience culture, and how to start turning things around for a better future and a happier planet. 


Miranda Ganci loves learning, interacting with people, cooking, eating mushrooms, and checking things off of the to do list. She is constantly trying to find the balance between being productive and simply being. Miranda spent the majority of 2021 travelling across the United States. Prior to that she used her Plant Pathology skills to identify plant diseases and study disease management techniques in the plant health department at Driscoll's, the berry company. Today, she is the garden educator at Freedom Elementary and is having a grand time teaching and learning from the students.

What is Women Waken: Spiritual Healing for Trauma in Relationships to Shift from Codependency to Divine Feminine?

My name is Whitney Walker, welcome to Women Waken! I am a Licensed Mental Health Therapist specialising in substance abuse, addiction, eating disorders, trauma, and Spirituality. Over 10 years ago I walked into a therapist office for the first time because I realised that I felt incapable of handling life. I abused drugs and alcohol, had rock bottom self esteem, often felt suicidal, was very self destructive, and had no idea how to resolve what felt like a complete mess inside my mind and emotions.

After years of therapy, getting sober, and choosing to begin the journey of unconditional self love for myself, things started to change. My self esteem rose along with my self regard and kindness towards myself. I knew there was only one thing I wanted to do with the rest of my life; help others out of the place that I was in and start figuring out how we can end these cycles for good, for all of us.

Women Waken is building community and offering a platform for Women to come together who share a vision of creating a new way of life where insecurity, low self esteem, and self- destruction are no longer the norm. Where we are able to rebalance the dynamic between the inner and outer Worlds so that our ability to love and accept ourselves is no longer dependent on externals.

On this show, we speak to Women who are seeking to heal from traumas/habits/addictions that are keeping them in a place of disempowerment who are ready to begin aligning with their true self and are ready to let their light shine

I release two episodes a week, an interview and solo episode,

If you feel ready to reclaim your power and stand in your Divine light I hope this show finds you!
