Totally Not Appropriate
Welcome to Totally Not Appropriate, where medicine meets mystery—and healing finally becomes whole.
Hosted by Taylor Sappington, a medical astrologer and herbalist blending 15 years of Western and Eastern practice, and Adrienne Irizarry, HWH, a reproductive rebel, cycle alchemist and East Asian medicine practitioner rewriting the story of women’s health, this podcast is a sanctuary for the witches in the broom closet, the healers in hiding, and the ones who walk between worlds but have been told it’s safer to stay silent.
We don’t buy into quick fixes or cookie-cutter care. We bring together the science of the body, the wisdom of the Earth, and the patterns written in the sky. We’re here to challenge the systems that left us unseen, to honor the ancient ways that still work, and to show you that the most powerful medicine is always rooted in who you are.
Each week, we’ll dive into raw, real conversations about healing, identity, and reclamation. From sage to SSRIs, acupuncture to astrology, herbal remedies to holy revelations—we hold space for it all. Because clinical isn’t enough.
This is your reminder, your permission, your initiation: the safest thing you can be is yourself.

Embodied Engineered
What happens when we start outsourcing our intuition, health decisions, and inner knowing to AI?
If you’ve ever Googled a symptom, asked ChatGPT for health advice, or felt overwhelmed by conflicting information online, you’re not alone. The mistake many of us are making? Treating AI-generated knowledge as embodied wisdom — and forgetting the power of lived experience, discernment, and human intuition.
In this episode, the hosts of Holy Shift unpack the double-edged nature of technology. While tools like ChatGPT can be incredibly helpful, relying on them without context, critical thinking, or professional guidance can pull us further away from personal authority — especially when it comes to health and wellness. This conversation is a reminder that information is not the same as wisdom, and no algorithm can replace embodied experience.
BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL DISCOVER:
- The key difference between AI-generated information and embodied, lived wisdom
- Why relying on technology for health diagnostics can be risky — and ethically complex
- How AI can both support and undermine personal responsibility in wellness journeys
- Why experienced practitioners and intuition still matter more than instant answers
A grounded, honest conversation that invites you to use technology wisely — without giving your power away.
