Grow As We Go
"Grow As We Go" is a sacred storytelling space at the intersection of sexuality, spirituality, and somatic wisdom. Rooted in reverence for the body and a fierce devotion to truth, we explore what it means to come alive in our relationships, our rituals, and our own skin. Through intimate conversations with Houston-based healers and embodied guides, we unravel shame, deconstruct conditioning, and reclaim our sensuality as a spiritual path. This podcast is a lighthouse for the ones who are waking up, craving more, and longing to feel God in their body.
Grow As We Go
098- Addiction, Plant Medicine, & Intimacy w/ Tessa Owens
Host Samantha and co-host Anthony discuss those moments that completely change your life. You know the ones, where you have to choose between a safe, predictable path and the scary, wide open unknown? They jump right into this theme by welcoming their first local Houston healer to the show, Tessa Owens. Tessa is a holistic health practitioner who works with ceremonial arts, community circles, meditation, and plant medicine.
Samantha asks Tessa about her spiritual origins, and the story is not what you might expect. Tessa talks about her first connection to spirit coming from Mother Nature while hiking in her tiny Midwest hometown. She also shares the unique experience of attending a Christian private school while simultaneously having a dad who taught spirituality at home and a stepmom who was a Wiccan.
The conversation then gets very personal as Tessa opens up about the major turning points that defined her path. It all started with ending her marriage in 2020, a choice that threw her into a massive identity crisis but was ultimately her first big act of "choosing herself." That vision led to a wild story about a trip to Sedona. Right after another breakup, Tessa had to take the trip completely alone for the first time in her life, forcing her to face her absolute biggest fear. This whole journey eventually led her to ayahuasca, and the way she found her community is another amazing story of divine timing that involves a dating app.
