A certain kind of person will be inspired by you one minute and then block you the next. When they realize what you've built isn't quite so easy to achieve overnight, they end up resenting the fact that they ever encountered you. Their own failure at what you inspired them to do makes hem resent you. They shift the blame onto you in order to avoid the pain of their own failure. They don't realize failure is a necessary initiation into the possibility of success.

Whatever side of that coin you fall on, whether you're a dreamer, influencer, small business owner, or just a human doing your best to live the best life possible, I'm sure you've failed, been resentful, been resented, been inspired, inspired others, and been tempted to blame everyone for your own failures (and give up on chasing your dreams). This episode talks about all of these complicated things, how they relate to each other, and how we can best look at things through these topsy turvy ups and downs.

Are you overgiving? Are you having a hard time stopping? If so - or if you've experienced this in the past with others or within yourself - you won't want to miss this episode. Overgiving can come from a lack of boundaries, poor self-regulation, refusing to pour into and nourish ourselves, and a desire to be loved, accepted, and valued. Stop overgiving and reclaim your power and personal sovereignty. In this episode, I talk about why people overgive, how to stop overgiving, and how to slow down and pay attention to what your own body is telling you about your own capacity.

In this episode, I talk about this month's Mercury Retrograde, and how we can work with this energy to reflect on our own relationship to impulsivity, bad habits, and addictive behaviours. I frame this in terms of cultivating healthy masculine energy to contain ourselves and our desire for excess, rather than being at the whims of every feeling we have. This comes up with compulsory sexuality, excessive online shopping, porn usage, arguing online, cheating, drama addiction, and more - these are all energy leaks. If we are witches interested in directing our energy towards our goals, we need to get a handle on our energy leaks! Listen to this episode to learn more and to get some inspiration for what to reflect on this Mercury Retrograde.

In life, we will encounter many distractions. Online drama, gossip, pettiness, silly arguments, and more can pull us away from our life path: achieving our life purpose, healing, helping others, and becoming self actualized. In this episode, I talk about the difference between signal and noise in life, how easy it is to be distracted away from what really matters. I also discuss feminine and masculine energy and how they relate to self-regulation, impulsivity, self-control, and whim - why this is all relevant to witchcraft skills - and why this matters for living a good and aligned life.

In this episode, I give my analysis of two recent massive blow-ups in the spiritual wellness and self help influencer space: femininity teacher Wizard Liz' husband cheating on her while she was 4 months pregnant, and self-styled wellness 'guru' Aubrey Marcus basically forcing his gorgeous yet miserable wife into a throuple situation. You may think this is irrelevant to you; maybe it is - I myself had never heard of any of these people before last week. However, there are some interesting similarities here between these stories, the most troubling of which (to anyone who is spiritually minded) is how both of these men used spirituality in predatory ways to manipulate the women in question. Marcus claimed the Goddess Isis told him to impregnate both women; Liz' husband said he was 'spiritually guided' to 'run into her' at an airport. Both men use spirituality to manipulate, and both men are really good examples of what I'd refer to as a toxic, wounded feminine energy. They manipulate, and are unable or unwilling to occupy healthy masculine energy which - above all - protects and contains. For many these two scenarios seemed surprising or out of character, but in this episode I explain some red flags in these men, and failures of the women involved, that all can learn from, especially women who are dating men, or women who are in relationships where they feel coerced to allow indiscretions. I analyze the situation in terms of energetic polarity and healthy/unhealthy feminine energy, and discuss the difference between parroting spiritual/mental health teachings, and actually being able to embody the knowledge we as influencers espouse. I also discuss how these relationships were prematurely escalated with love bombing and false intimacy, and how you can learn from these situations to avoid ending up in something similar yourself.

What if being a heretic is exactly what would set you free? In this episode, I discuss how choosing authenticity over approval—and integrity over conformity—can transform your life in powerful ways. It’s not easy; you may experience loss when you face your fears. I talk about how embracing your inner heretic might just be the most peaceful, soul-aligned decision you ever make, and why.

Happy Friday! This episode is inspired by noticing how many, many spiritualists suggest that the physical body is simply 'a vessel' whose physicality they ignore. Completely avoidable health issues, chain smoking, a love of McDonald's, an avoidance of moving towards physical health and fitness: all of this is super common amongst mediums and people who engage in spirituality and mediumship. In this episode, I argue that the physical body - and a healthy, fit relationship to embodiment (and yes, I say this as a disabled person myself) - can be foundational to being an even better and more accurate channel to the spiritual. Our physical body is the instrument through which we 'do' spirituality, be it mediumship, prayer, or something else. Witchcraft itself is a material form of spiritual practice: when we know our body better, when we treat it with love, care, and nourishment, our relationship to spirit and magic can only improve. Sorry, y'all: yes, eating well and working out will give you clearer access to the spiritual.
