What happens when a pharmacist begins listening to intuition as deeply as science?In this episode of Magic Happens with Melody Hu, Melody sits down with Tori Rerick — PharmD, medicine woman, and oracle artist — to explore her journey from conventional pharmacy into plant medicine, divination, and holistic healing.Tori shares how childhood imagination, nature, her Norse and Nigerian heritage, and her own mental health journey shaped the work she does today. We talk about the limits of one-size-fits-all healing, learning to trust your own inner knowing, and finding support through multiple modalities.We also dive into Tori’s Follow Your Heart Oracle deck, her relationship with cannabis as both medicine and plant spirit, the intersection of cannabis and social justice, and the surprising connection she later discovered between her oracle work and her Norse ancestry.And near the end of the episode, Tori offers a collective oracle reading for everyone listening.Magic happens when we trust our inner knowing, honor the wisdom that has always been with us, and allow healing to come from more than one path.Hosted by Melody Hu

In this episode of Magic Happens with Melody Hu, I catch up with Dustin Hogard, co-founder of Wazoo Gear — part Indiana Jones, part MacGyver, part entrepreneur, and someone who has built a life around adventure, freedom, and wild capability.We talk about Dustin’s small-town Texas upbringing, his childhood on a ranch, overcoming fear, building a business from scratch, choosing cooperation over competition, and why entrepreneurship is one of the most powerful personal development paths.This conversation also goes deeper into grief, consciousness, survival, and resilience. Dustin shares how losing his mother changed him, what he learned from an intense bullet ant ceremony in South America, and why accepting reality is often the first step toward healing or solving what’s in front of us.At the heart of this episode is a simple but powerful idea: we are far more capable than we think.Magic happens when we look for it, choose courage, and take one step beyond the life fear would have kept us in.
