A little thought butterfly kept visiting me, and she wanted me to tell you this; in times of radical uncertainty, you can stay mired in worry, or choose to walk in wonder. MAKE MAGIC Walking in Wonder: Eternal Wisdom for a Modern World , by John O’Donohue: https://www.johnodonohue.com/new-release

When you’ve outgrown your circumstance,  a simple yet powerful shift can help you align your actions with your evolving values and desires for a more authentic life. I use this mindset shift personally and with my clients.  Let me show you. Make Magic: To embrace the power of your agency and choice, reflect on  areas in your life where you feel done tolerating certain behaviors or s...

This episode is about the liminal space we find ourselves in when we’re in the process of becoming . I talk about the temptation to maintain the status quo, the importance of trusting in our desires, and the power of leaning wholly into our ever-changing selves. I hope this episode gives you comfort, reassurance, or reminds you that you can trust that the key to clicking back into place is to just...

Our mind is so powerful.  It has the ability to create magic and possibility anywhere in our lives.  To harness this power more easily, we need a little mental workout regimen. Let’s strengthen our mental muscles and manifest our desires.  Let me show you how. Mentioned: Everyday Channeling is three live magical sessions beginning May 18, 2024.

Sometimes, our internal growth outpaces our external circumstances.  This is especially felt when the changes we want to make in our lives feel so so big.  I’ve been there! I want to remind us that we have more power than we realize.  No matter how big our life changes are.  No matter how far away our dreams might seem.  We can nurture the desires emerging from our persona...

Ever felt like you're going through a growth spurt, but for your soul? You might feel tired all the time, hungry for more in life, and even a bit awkward. Whether initiated by ourselves or by the events in our lives, our personal growth spurt challenges us to shed old identities and embrace new possibilities. It urges us to invest in what truly aligns with our evolving selves. We can see ourselves...

The most empowered doings come from the place where we feel most integrated. And while society prioritizes productivity and doings above all else, I believe our sense of being is just as important. When we take time to honor our needs, we attune to our most aligned selves for our most potent doings. Mentioned: Time Witchery is a great way to integrate a whole self honoring practice into your day....

I'm excited to welcome Ashley Trabue — artist and stellar human all around — for a soul-nourishing conversation about the transformative power of embracing our body through art. We journey from self-criticism to self-appreciation to reclaim our own narrative.

Cultural norms encourage us to diminish our light, to hide it, and filter it into its most benign form. But like a diamond, we are sparkly and multi-faceted contributing to our luminosity. We shine most brightly when we own and love and show all of the different parts of ourselves. This spell will help you nurture and embrace all facets of yourself for deeper levels of fulfillment and authenticity...

Feminist Leadership Coach and Mentor, Elijah Selby, joins me in a candid conversation on navigating the complexities of the coaching and marketing world. Through collaboration, trust, and shared responsibility, we can break free from conventional coaching and marketing norms that rely on the matrix of control, manipulation, and fear. Our collective growth and empowerment depends on meaningful tran...

Contrary to popular belief, being in the process of figuring things out yourself can make you an even more effective teacher or coach. Many assume that teaching implies mastery, but often it's those still navigating challenges who offer the most valuable insights. And by embracing your ongoing journey of growth, you gain a deeper understanding, connect more authentically with others, and continuou...

As creative humans—entrepreneurs and leaders alike—we find ourselves coming around to the pressures of productivity again and again. The more you progress in your career and express your talent, the more challenges you may encounter. I hope today’s episode expands your thinking again and reminds you to embrace self-care, honor your creative instincts, and model a holistic approach to productivity...

As growth-oriented individuals, you're here to heal, usher in better, and, just like plants need fertilizer and light, you need more support, time, space, rest, connection, and pleasure. Embrace the idea that growth demands receiving more than giving, fostering a net gain in energy. It's time to let yourself need more. Mentioned: Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle, by Amelia and Emi...

As we usher in this new year, I want to explore trust. It's a silent power—like the glowing embers of a fire. And it's cultivated through action and experience. Each experience, whether successful or challenging, contributes to the embers of trust. May this spell light a spark in you, inspire you to embrace experiences, and take steps, no matter how small, towards building the trust that sustains...

Real talk. Letting things be easy is actually incredibly hard. Patriarchy, hustle culture, late stage capitalism. All of these dominating systems benefit when we act as though hard work and sacrifice are the only ways we can prosper in the world. Here’s a spell to help you build more ease into your life, and to remind you how much you deserve it. Mentioned: timewitchery.com/planner , where you can...

Brains are amazing things, and one of their most fascinating features is the way their two halves process and evaluate the things we experience. Left brain plans and analyzes, it develops systems and structures, while right brain attunes to its surroundings and experiences the here and now without trying to impose order on it. They’re both vital to our experience of the world. And yet. One of thes...

Creativity is hard AF, and sharing it with the world can be terrifying. That’s just one reason why I’m so in awe of my guest this week, Dr. Giavanni Washington. She had the passion and persistence to develop a stunning oracle deck that honors African Goddesses with photography of amazing black women. She’s here to talk about why she felt required to birth this project into the world, and how she s...

Creating a new thing can be pretty messy. Learning how to do something requires us to start by screwing up, making mistakes, and being kind of bad at it. If you’ve developed an attachment to succeeding, planning to be less than great at anything can sound like a nightmare. Here’s a spell to help you embrace the glorious imperfection of making something new. Mentioned: timewitchery.com/planner , wh...

It has been a minute since I recorded a new spell, but the break did exactly what I hoped it would. It allowed my creative brain to rest and recharge, and now it’s ready to share with you once more. This spell will help you take the big idea you have in your head and turn it, bit by bit, into real, sustainable, effective change. Mentioned: The Sunday Letter in which I discuss the decision to break...

My love, I have for you today the most inspiring, powerful conjuring. Bernardine Watson is a poet, writer, and author of an award-winning memoir. She is a force of nature. She is glamorous. She is grounded. I just pinch myself to tell you that Dine is also a friend of mine. I asked Dine if she'd be willing to talk about what I think she does so well, which is conjuring the fullest self-expression....

I chose to rekindle this spell because it felt appropriate for the uncomfortable, uncertain times we find ourselves in. Clear, deep, whole self-honoring boundaries are challenging to build and to hold. I hope this spell helps you to create and fortify some boundaries, and to protect your peace and integrity. Mentioned: The very insightful book Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle , by...

This week I’m resharing an episode that I truly believe will help you make the most of your one wild and precious life. Paying attention to the values underneath our choices (our own values, the values of our dominating culture, and all the ways in which those values conflict) is so valuable when we’re trying to understand why we make decisions that don’t feel right. Mentioned: Mind Witchery Ep. 1...

When I read The Success Myth by bestselling author Emma Gannon, I knew she really got what integrity was all about. It sounds wonderful. But, like most things that serve our whole selves, it’s Really. Fucking. Hard. It’s a lifelong practice that’s constantly evolving, with tons of ups and down, victories and setbacks. Emma Gannon joins us to talk about her relationship with integrity, and how putt...

While I nurture and care for my creative spark, I’m resharing episodes that just might be right on time for you. This week’s spell was originally prompted by a listener, who was struggling to be generous with herself when her perfectionist tendencies were urging her to Do More, Better, Faster, Now. How can she (and we) we honor our very high standards in a way that doesn’t become self-punishing? M...

This week I’m continuing my creative adjustment, giving myself time to let my brain and heart rest and recharge. I’m resharing an episode of Mind Witchery all about replenishing the self.

Press play to learn all about Treats: what they are, when to use them, and how they will complete...
