Mariah Gannessa of Four Visions Market: How an ethical business can actually help people thrive, being guided by indigenous wisdom, parenting as sacred work, saying yes to life, and more #009

Society's current economic systems are harmful for you, your loved ones and all of life on earth…but maybe you’re stuck in a job you don’t believe in, working for an extractive company just to make ends meet? Maybe you feel trapped because you need to afford supporting your children or family?

Thankfully, today’s guest, Mariah Gannessa, is a mother, co-founder of Four Visions Market, and seeker on the medicine path. She shares her experiences in aligning herself with indigenous medicine ways, sacred commerce, creating a business that is ‘beyond fairtrade’ and so much more.

In this episode you will discover how you can reconnect with the abundance of nature and align yourself with a reciprocal way of living.

Mariah shares:

1. How Four Visions Market uses 'sacred commerce' and why it is 'beyond fairtrade'
2. How we are birthing a new paradigm where we can all thrive
3. How motherhood is the fire under Mariah's butt to 'get up and keep going' in creating a new reality
4. Near the end, Mariah shares a spur of the moment blessing for the listeners of this podcast, which gives me tingles every time I hear it

There is so much practical inspiration in this episode. No matter what stage you are in your journey, there are steps you can take…little things which will create big ripples of positive change.

I’m your host Nathan Maingard and, as a highly sensitive person in a profoundly sick society, I was nearly crushed by my efforts to fit a mould our society just calls ‘being a good citizen’. Now I help people like me to feel, heal, and grow a beautiful world using gentle breathwork, empowering songs, stories and poems, and 1:1 sessions...as well as this podcast.
