🌿 THE NOURISHMENT RITUAL: Organic Herbal Infusion
I’m overjoyed to be offering tea blends again! And even more excited that this one will be available at my friend Meggie's Nugs Bakery’s farm stand, where we’ve been buying her life-changing sourdough bread for over a year now. ❤️

She’s celebrating her re-grand opening this Saturday, October 17th, in Colorado Springs, and this nourishing herbal blend will be among her newest offerings!

I created The Nourishment Ritual for anyone feeling burnt out, stretched too thin, or like their nerves could use a little extra love.
This blend brings together lemon balm, milky oat tops, rose petals, rose hips, and cassia cinnamon. Lemon balm has traditionally been called the “gladdening herb” for its uplifting and relaxing properties, while milky oat tops are valued by herbalists as a nourishing nervine. Rose hips contribute vitamin C and antioxidant plant compounds, and these botanicals offer a range of naturally occurring nutrients and minerals. A portion of those constituents can be extracted into your cup through a daily water infusion.

I chose the word ritual intentionally as our self-care practices serve us best when we make them a consistent part of our lives. Just like showering, they’re most effective when we actually do them regularly 😂. Sometimes we just need to slow down, nourish ourselves, and remember that caring for ourselves is one of the best ways to also care for everything and everyone else.

I hope this blend becomes a little daily ritual that leaves you feeling nourished, relaxed, and connected to your beautiful and powerful heart. ❤️

Ingredients: Organic lemon balm, organic milky oat tops, organic rose petals and rose hips, and organic cassia cinnamon.

Limited supply at Meggie's Nugs Bakery Sat the 17th in Colorado Springs!!

PS. How cuuuute is our neighborhood kitty, Mac 🥹🧡

I am thrilled to introduce you to my guest and friend, Kelly of The Diamond Arrow Group | Personal Safety Expert and author of “Sharp Women:Embrace Your Intuition, Build Your Situational Awareness, and Live Life Unafraid”. Kelly is dedicated to helping prevent trauma and save lives through situational awareness training and is someone I have been eager to have on and to have a conversation with.

There has been so so much coming out over the past few weeks that is incredibly upsetting and can leave people with a sense of feeling powerless and heartbroken. I hope that our conversation helps to remedy that with great information, insights, and ways to help you feel more empowered and safe.
Please share this with anyone whom you think may benefit from our conversation. And as always, thank you for being here.

From my heart to yours,
Greta

Just had the best time interviewing brothers & Tom (and Ringo joined too!!)

This interview will air on Nov 3rd when I release our new music collaboration ‘That’s The Way’ on all streaming platforms…be sure to follow my music account Greta Hotmer | Composer + ALTARVIOLET so you can hear it first!!

And be sure to catch this interview..we had fun…can you tell? 🤣 Also we discovered our mutual love for Les Miserable…who else considers this Broadway show part of their origin story?

I ended my most recent None Lives Longevity class with a short meditation and visualization on cutting energetic cords and tuning into the energy that is truly of us and our hearts.

Whether you are very visual or not, feeling into your energetic body is an important practice for longevity. These subtle shifts and information can be the canary in the coal mine, letting us know where we are losing energy, where a shift in your health may be changing, and giving us the opportunity to address it before it manifests into a bigger change.

Cord cutting is a simple and grounding practice when you are feeling like maybe you’re absorbing everything and everyone. It’s a beautiful reset and can be done anytime. Wipe the slate clean so that you can truly come from YOUR heart and energy. See what happens 🫶

Tune into my class Live on Sundays at 9:30am on my Substack, or watch them on replay later. It’s $5 a month for all the classes plus a few other extras.

Or join me in person:
Sat at Mercs Jiu-Jitsu MMA Fitness
Sun at Iron Roots BJJ
Both in Colorado Springs
Both 9:30am
$10 drop in

Hope to see you there ✌️

🙌NEW EPISODE🙌 I’m very excited to introduce you to my friend, one of my teachers, and an incredibly inspiring human, Nick Hughes, Nick Hughes.

Nick has spent most of his adult life dealing with real-world violence, not the theoretical kind. He served in the French Foreign Legion’s parachute regiment, worked worldwide as a professional bodyguard for Saudi royalty, VIPs, and rock stars, and has taught self-defense and Krav Maga for over 40 years.

He’s also a professional boxer, author of How To Be Your Own Bodyguard, and holds black belts in multiple martial arts.

I actually met Nick when I was 15, when he would come spar us teenagers for our belt tests. At 6’8” and 270 lbs, he was just a little intimidating. 😂 Those sessions were about finding the courage to stand toe-to-toe with someone who could absolutely wreck you…not about winning haha.

But Nick’s work goes far beyond fighting. In recent years, he has become a hypnotherapist and coach, helping people get “under the hood” of their minds, update the programming they’ve been carrying since childhood, and break through beliefs that may be holding them back.

In this conversation, we go deep into the psychology of violence, self-defense, fear, the subconscious mind, personal transformation, and why training the mind and body matters, especially for women.

I hope you enjoy this conversation. If you do, liking, commenting, subscribing, and sharing helps more people find the podcast.

76% of female murders in 2021 were perpetrated by someone the victim knew.

That’s a really uncomfortable statistic, I know…and it’s one of the reasons I believe self-defense needs to go far beyond punches, kicks, and learning how to fight off a stranger in a parking lot.

Sometimes the person we need to protect ourselves from is someone we’ve shared a life with, or someone we’re just beginning to build one with.

Self-defense is physical, yes, but it’s also emotional. It’s understanding our attachment styles, recognizing red flags, trusting our intuition, and knowing that we don’t have to accept unhealthy relationships just because they’re familiar.

A few books that have helped me tremendously and that I recommend to anyone interested in this side of self-protection:
📚 Attached
📚 Codependent No More
📚 The Gift of Fear

I spent a lot of years putting myself in situations that weren’t safe because I didn’t believe healthy relationships were even possible. I thought what I was experiencing was just about as good as it was going to get. Learning otherwise changed so much for me.

As a self-defense instructor, I can teach you how to punch, kick, escape a hold, and feel strong in your body. But those skills can’t live in a bubble. They need to be supported by the emotional work of recognizing how people treat us, what we tolerate, and when it’s time to make a strategic exit.

Self-protection is one of the highest forms of self-care.

And if you’re in a situation right now where you don’t feel safe, please know that there are people and communities who want to help you find your way out. It isn’t easy, but it is possible.

You are worthy of safety. You are worthy of healthy love. Even if that’s hard to imagine right now.

Please reach out if you need resources 🖤

Not all men…but…

This past weekend, I learned some deeply disturbing things about men I know…and then woke up to the news about the Cornell students (and the administration who did nothing).

To the real men out there…how do you propose getting your community to be better to women and children?

As a woman, I have spent my ENTIRE life learning how to keep myself safe. And I know I’m far from alone in that. The responsibility always seems to fall on women to be on guard, to protect ourselves, to anticipate danger, and to navigate a world where we know our safety is never guaranteed.

But where the F**K is the accountability for men?

Where are your “How to Be a Man Women Are Safe Around” courses while we’re out here spending our time, money, and energy on women’s self-defense classes, reading books like The Gift of Fear, and wondering if we’ll be safe walking to our cars after getting groceries every week? Or wondering whether our daughters, sisters, and mothers will be treated with the respect they deserve?

We know from lived experience that at least 1 in 3 women will experience sexual violence in their lifetime. And guess what…We are ALL harassed.

I feel incredibly fortunate to have some truly amazing men in my life, including my husband, who, in my opinion, is the ideal example of how a REAL man should behave and move through the world.

🍆REAL big dick energy is respectful, safe, loving, and protective.

So to the men who carry this energy, I genuinely want to know:

How do we get other men to evolve like you?
How can you help make women and children safer?
How can you help create a culture where we are treated with the dignity and respect we deserve?

And until that happens, I will continue training myself in every possible way to become the most terrifying monster any man has ever encountered if he f***s with me or anyone he considers prey. I will continue devoting my life to teaching women to become terrifying monsters when they need to be, too.

We deserve to exist in this world without constantly having to calculate the risks of simply being alive…
