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!

Episode 27 with Charlie(she/her) from CelestiaTerra, an Astrocartographer and Asteroid enthusiast. We talk about her approach to Astrocartography rooted in reciprocal relationship with the land, growing up in a high demand religion she left, Chariklo as an asteroid tied to boundaries and energy healing, and how she sees Saturn as a crone figure instead of just the strict parent archetype.
We get into her intake process for readings, sidereal versus tropical astrology, remote activation of your lines without having to move, local space directions, and her past work as a doula and what that taught her about holding other people's energy. I also get into my own experience with mediumship, spiritual bypassing, and trying (and mostly failing so far) to communicate with trees.

Such a rich, wandering conversation, highly recommend sitting with the whole thing.

Episode 25 with Sara(h), I've never really connected with numerology until I got a reading from her, and this whole conversation shows exactly why.

We get into how she remembers people by their birthdays, why names carry so much energetic weight, the difference between your life path and destiny number, master numbers like 11, 22 and 33, and how she picks up on transits through the letters in your name.

We also go deep into generational differences, especially kids born after 2000, master numbers coming back around with the universal 11 year in 2027, and how numerology and astrology are really just two different languages describing the same thing.

Sara(h) looks at numerology in a very unique way, of which I firmly believe is 1:1. For this reason I highly encourage you get in contact with her!

Episode 24 with Mike Holiday. Mike is the real deal, he's not just someone who talks about Jyotish, he's lived it, doing pilgrimages across India, studying with his teacher in Varanasi, and running his own Nakshatra Project.

We get into remedial astrology and gemstones, how mantras and deities tie into the vibration of light, the murkiness and doubt every astrologer deals with, letting go of needing to be right, imposter syndrome, and where Saturn and Rahu are taking us collectively over the next few years.

Mike also talks about his mentorships and retreats and what it's actually like to build a life this the pinnacle of what I would say is Sagittarius

Episode 23 with the amazing Amiya from Resonance Astrology, a former psychiatric nurse who blends Hellenistic and modern astrology together. We're both in our Saturn returns right now, mine in the 12th house and hers in the 6th, so this whole episode is us comparing notes on what that's actually felt like in real time.

We get into blind spots, burnout, why Saturn in Aries makes you want to rush everything, learning to slow down without losing yourself, psychic attacks, somatic work, talking to the planets like they're actual archetypes you can build a relationship with, and so much more.

Amiya also shares what she's got coming up with her Venus retrograde journey.
