Episode 29 with Nikki Lastella, a Psychic Medium and musician based in Pittsburgh who also plays in a band called The Elastics.

We get into the different layers of mediumship communication, what it actually feels like to embody a spirit's energy during a reading, how spirits can show up at different stages of their life depending on the message they're trying to give, and the ethics around connecting with someone in public without permission.

We talk a lot about boundaries, burnout, and the fear of taking advantage of people in grief, religious trauma and how it complicates connecting with guides, OCD and exposure therapy, near death experiences, and grounding practices like oils, rosemary, music, and learning to just sit in silence.

Really vulnerable conversation on both ends, and we even planned a part two by the end of it. Theres so much more I want to speak on but alas time.

Episode 28 with Bee from @TheBeeFlows, such a beautiful, grounding conversation for Hoodoo Heritage Month.

Bee shares about her Divinity Prayer Line that goes on every Sunday morning and how she has been doing mediumship and spiritual readings for nine years. We get into her Hoodoo lineage from the Mississippi Delta, how she blends Christianity and Ancestor Veneration without one canceling out the other. We talked about the difference between Ancestors, Spirit guides, Orisha's & your personal Ori. We brushed on why connecting with your ancestors always comes first before stepping into any deeper practice.

We talk about the history and heaviness behind Hoodoo, root work, conjuring, sleeping in true darkness versus light for dream work, and how soul food itself is a spiritual practice.

I look forward to having her on again to dive more into her practice, but for now this was such an amazing episode!

Yearly episode,, where I review my 2025 to 2026 solar return year now that it's come full circle. I go through the Placidus and whole sign charts side by side, Capricorn rising energy, the brutal Pluto square the sun, the grand water trine that gave me superpowers but wrecked me emotionally, moving and dealing with realtors, and so much of what me and my wife went through together this year as we separated to go on our own soul journeys.

I also look ahead at what's coming with Saturn, Neptune, and Chiron all moving into Aries. If you're into solar return work or just want a really raw look at how this year actually played out for me have a listen.

Thank ya!
