Married dudes sliding into my DMs and asking me out on dates - how fun! Did I tell the wife? Of course! Sadly this isn’t the first time this has happened and likely won’t be the last. In this episode I talk about integrity, honesty, values, and the importance of doing the right thing even when it’s hard. This can help our spiritual growth, too.

Not everything needs to be up to 11 all the time! Give yourself permission to rest and tap out. There’s a time to hustle… and a time to admit defeat. Recorded while I was sick, so I’ve been enjoying doing pointless things!

In a world where there is so much pressure to say the right thing at the right time… it’s okay to choose silence.

We are in an era of war. The violent images are endless and, in this episode, I argue that none of it does any good at this point. I’m sure my political opinions are no surprise to folks who have been here for a while, but whatever your political stance, it’s important to consider what the point is of sharing violent imagery. Is it really to raise awareness about the conflict at hand, or is it to raise awareness of ourselves as highly woke and moral?

Over the years, it has broken my heart to see so many lovely, amazing people - especially women - give so much of their energy, time, and patience to those who don’t deserve it. Sometimes this can be out of a misplaced hopefulness, and sometimes it can be due to a scarcity mindset and an idea that we just have to tolerate misalignment. When we elevate our standards (yes, for ourselves, too, we aren’t off the hook!), we elevate our lives.

Hi friends! In this episode I share some of what this full moon lunar eclipse in Taurus is all about, what some of the big lessons have been for me (as well as a very surprising and insightful tarot reading), and how making space for stillness and surprise can allow us the permission and inspiration to pivot in new, fulfilling directions.

My friends, I know. I’ve done it too. Put off important things, adulting things, or things I actually really love and want to do but… don’t. Whether it’s in learning tarot, dealing with finances and taxes, cleaning out the cat litter, or writing our next book, it’s easy to just say “I’ll do it later.” In this episode I talk about why we should do the thing, and I share some common protestations of why folks deprioritize tarot learning (and even brainwash themselves they will never learn it properly anyway).

Join me as I listen to the waves and talk about how little actions can reignite our creativity - and how mindless, pointless creation can be transformative and freeing.

In this episode, I discuss the current culture of fear around fully expressing ourselves. We are not in an expressive, heart open, anything goes, experimental and experiential culture - we’re in a moment where there are good opinions and bad opinions, moral identities and immoral identities. Nuance has all but disappeared, and anyone who dare be a little more complicated in their thought can look forward to being publicly shamed. In this episode I discuss why honesty is too important to abandon, and how when we halt our speech and expression, we block ourselves mentally, emotionally, and can even cause physical health issues.

Hi friends! In today’s episode of the Secrets of a Witch podcast, I talk about the importance of reading books we are a little wary of reading, whether that’s because they’re banned, or because we may think or be afraid that the content is heretical or offensive. I’ve observed so much fear in the past few days around certain ideas, and the idea that being around or in contact with certain books/ideas is contagious in a bad way, infecting the ideologically “pure.” I think it’s important for all of us to explore, experiment, expand our minds, and challenge ourselves to experience a diversity of perspectives. Only then are we really able to figure out what we ourselves actually think! Listen to this episode to learn my perspective on all this, and I share a few recommendations to get started on what is currently “heretical.”

The magical in the mundane. If I had a shot of tequila for every time I heard someone in witchy land say that, I would be wasted. But what does it actually MEAN on a practical every day level? In this episode I talk about one of these every day sacred places for me: the grocery store. I also discuss how eating, making, and learning about food can ignite our senses and reconnect us to the magic and beauty of all that is.

In this episode, I share a bit about how and why I am extremely over the age of identity politics. Over the last decade, the focus on identity has shifted from inclusive and positive, to nasty, essentialist, and exclusionary, with an emphasis on rewarding victim mentalities and with identity being a fast-track to being right, and also as a replacement for any actual argument. I talk a bit about what I’m interested in right now instead of identity: character and values.

A lot of people cling to what they don’t like - things, people, jobs, whatever. They often do this because they’re afraid there isn’t anything or anyone better out there - a classic scarcity mindset. However, that just keeps us all trapped. When we embrace the energy of The Fool tarot card and take a bold leap into faith in the mystery… beautiful things and people show up for us.

Like attracts like. Vibes attract vibes. Y’all may totally hate this with every ounce of your being, but it’s absolutely true - our energies, our openness, our playfulness and ability to be present and positive as we go about our daily business, go to parties and networking events, and even grab groceries… all of that influences the type of life we have, and the kind of interactions we have and the people we meet. In this episode I explain a bit about this, the importance of opening our vibe, and how when we flirt with the world and universe, the universe and the world often flirt right back. This episode includes a fun little homework about this, for Tuesday’s upcoming gorgeous full moon.

Hi friends! In this episode I talk about radical honesty, prolonged adolescence, personal growth, and how when we are in our integrity and honest with ourselves and others about who we are and what we want… a lot will fall away. As it should! That’s okay and it’s awesome. In this episode, I explain why.
