This is an unusual episode. I share two stories from observing my little patch of Colorado this last year, share life hacks to help smooth out the edges of life, and have an announcement to share with you in love.

I've been reading from a book titled, What an Owl Knows by Jennifer Ackerman. It was gifted to me by my husband because of my growing love for owls. I don't take it for granted that owls live in our neighborhood. In fact, each evening as the sun sets, I step outside and say, "Hello, owls! I love you," then stay still and listen for their calls back and forth between mates. Some...

Hey! We made it! We weathered the storms of 2024 together. I am grateful for that, but also mindful of the spiritual and physical muscles we've built together over the course of the last 365 days. These make us stronger, and more able to face whatever 2025 has to offer. I was humbled to be among a huge group of mediums and psychics that were on Paranormal Karen's 2025 predictions episode...

If you find yourself with an out-of-the-blue stomachache or headache, it may be one of grief's many disguises. As the holidays near, it's important to have a straight conversation about grief, hear a first-hand story of when I abjectly FAILED at it, and plan a graceful exit for any social event you RSVP yes to, but then a grief moment hits you while there.  Offered in love. Send us Fan M...

Episode Intro This episode is a little different. You'll know it's for you if you've thought of writing a memoir, or starting a Substack or blog that tells YOUR story.  Maybe right after the idea whispered in your mind, a mental mean girl asked why is your story worth telling? Who'd read it anyways? And on and on. Then you turned your attention to something else that felt safe,...

Archangel Rafael OR Raphael, depending on how you prefer to spell it, is waiting to help us as often as we ask. He may even be knocking health books off your shelves to get you to take a better path. Only recently healing up from a nasty virus, I found myself asking for the help of both Archangel Michael and Archangel Raphael to help evict the illness from my body and heal once and for all. From S...

As I listened to a recent episode of The Higherside Chat with guest Gordon White, White mentioned the I Ching and, almost to himself, he said something about the knowledge contained in the book being a gift from dragons. I hit the 15 second reverse button and listened again.  If you follow my Curious Cat feed on Insta, then you've seen that my pens, pencils, and watercolor paints have been co...

Weather Modification - Is it real or a conspiracy? Off the top, we need to address the elephant in the room. Is weather modification real or is it a grand conspiracy? Well, the following article will help us discern the truth.  The article titled, 'Despite past failures, weather modification endures,' from American Association for the Advancement of Science states; " For centuries t...

I'm fresh off the heels of a magical visit with my eldest. Did our love and joy open up a rainbow portal? Not sure. What I know is I come away from our meaty conversations a better person. They brought up something I'd never known the term for, but feels more important than ever to revitalize NOW. I'll explain, I promise. Let's get into it. Show Sources and Materials Definition...

There's a very special guest sharing the mic with me this week, Derek Condit. He and his wife Julissa own the best store I've ever been to, Mystical Wares, in Mount Vernon, Washington. Derek has many gifts, from his work with shungite, to bridging the physical world and spiritual realm. His energy work, intuition, and imagination are creating new ways to tap into, heal, interface, and li...

She goes back to season one of Curious Cat. I'm grateful every time the planets align and she's able to stop by for a visit. Her skill set has continued to grow. And if you want to cleanse your TikTok algorithm, be sure to follow Miss Molly Knows. She finds lost things, creates two-handed spirit drawings, and occasionally a fairy pops by to shine on livefeeds. Guest Links: Email to ask M...

This entire episode comes with a trigger warning. It is not for the faint of heart. Be warned.  For those that are still with me, have you ever heard of spontaneous human combustion? I'd argue one of the most mysterious ways to die, if true, then why does this phenomenon stop and start over the course of a century and a half and then...just...disappear?  Let's get into it.  Spontaneous H...

Have you watched any of the Missing 411 movies? Former police officer, David Paulides, is the guy behind them. He has been collecting records for countless strange missing persons cases across the United States for years, then compiling the ones that have the same fact patterns into books and movies. I've learned much from Paulides, and the disappearances, from staying safe outdoors to always...

Do you believe in ghosts?  Have you ever seen one? Known someone who has? Would you like to? I'll have tips at the end of this episode that might increase your odds of seeing a ghost. The telling of a ghost story around a campfire or a candlelit room wakes a primal strand of our DNA. It transforms a power outage into a lifelong memory, and might lead us to snuggle closer to our partner. As th...

Episode Intro This week we are talking about seeds. Not just the ones that get caught in your teeth after eating berries, or those you spit out while noshing on a wedge of watermelon, ALL seeds. What they are, how they disperse, the special vault of world seeds, and more. I hope as you sow seeds into your local pea patch or garden that you look at those little bits with a tad more reverence after...

Episode Intro I'm writing a book. It's my first nonfiction work and is three stories braided into one. It got me thinking of other stories, world famous ones, that have their own interesting backstories. I promise I'll explain. Let's get into it.  How It Began If you've been with me since the early days of The Curious Cat, first, thank you. In the days, weeks, weak moments...

When pondering, debating, writing or planning our focus tends fall to the extremes; this or that, which means we ignore the stuff in-between. It probably traces back to some survival mechanism our ancestors developed to determine what foods were safe to eat, what passages were too risky to travel, where we might be safe to sleep at night, and what hours of the day to do which behaviors.  But like...

I've pestered my husband to write a book on the legends, myths and rumors of small people around the world for decades. Every culture on the planet holds dear stories of a group of small people that have unrivaled engineering skills that work during the night and live underground or in caves to stay safe from larger humans. These legendary people, If treated with reverence and respect, are kn...

Episode Intro: Did you queue up this episode and wonder, why the heck the emphasis on cults? Well, I'll tell you. With the run up to the November election in full swing - saddled between the RNC and DNC national conventions, I thought it was a great moment in history to check our collective guts. To remind us to question everything. And to question what we are being force fed. In fact, if a m...

I can almost hear you right now. WHAT? Another cult episode? This one came to me via my eldest's partner, Josh. Thanks for sending me the video that spurred on this episode. And I wanted to shout out a listener, Grace, who I got to catch up with in person last week. I hope you have a FANTASTIC junior year. You are wonderful, Grace. Back to the episode, though. If you watched the Netflix serie...

Aetherius Society is a worldwide group that some have called stranger than Scientology, without the marketing machine behind it.  I've read all I can on the group online and I have to say, they seem like people that want to uplift humanity and heal the Earth. Their only gods are the mountains they visit to amplify their prayers of peace. But don't take my word for it, I'd like to sh...

This week I'm on Cloud Nine. My eldest is here to share their thoughts on the dreaded dark night of the soul. We also delved into manifesting, and learn about empty-handed magic! You'll remember Nora from their Season One conversation, as well as the art they created for both Curious Cat Podcast AND Cascadia! They have their own ethically sourced, meticulously created handmade art compan...

Looking backward, the theme for my July was, 'cord cutting.' And when I say cords–I'm talking thick titanium suckers! I've had to cut them, then RECUT them after they grew back starter roots. Again and again, this happened. It can be exhausting AND invigorating. I've confessed my old psychic vampire ways to you on a prior episode – which is why my daily routine NOW include...

Cascadia was born of fire and ice. A string of 19 volcanic peaks stretch from Canada to California. Sulfur, lava, ocean mist, evergreens, and fog commingle to create one of world's most haunting, mysterious realms. Venture with me into the Cascade Mountain range.
