Curious Cat - where science & supernatural collide

Here's a confession. This week, I did what you're not supposed to - at least if you don't want predictive algorithms to, well, predict better. After I finished my YouTube yoga, a suggested video was queued up, a ten minute motivational speech. I clicked 'Play' and it was phenomenal. So maybe AI knows me better than I know myself because I needed that speech, it rippled thr...

Today's guest is my oldest, dearest friend, Deb Sundblad. Our lives have been woven together since fifth grade when she sat beside me in the Mark Twain Elementary band. Through school, university, adulthood, motherhood, and empty-nest hood, she's always been important. Recently, she found herself in a journey only a divine, complicated, beautiful Universe could set up flawlessly. It&apos...

Last week, my eldest and I walked Red Rocks Park, best known for its world-renowned music venue. We found the already mystical sand stones to have another level of awe covered in a blanket of snow. As we walked near a place I alluded to last week with guest, Phill Webster, a place where the middle of a massive forty foot wall of red rocks tapers into a cave-like opening, I turned on the ghost app...

I had the joyous pleasure of speaking with author and actor, Phill Webster about his first book, Letting Glow. Our conversation meandered along a vibe-y, spiritual, and delightful path. I hope you enjoy the places we went and I am already looking forward to having Phill back on Curious Cat soon.

Urban legends. Which one comes to mind first? Rumors about drug deals happening in areas where running shoes hang from powerlines? What about Slenderman? The urban legend that led young girls to attempt to kill their friend? They are stories that connect us. In fact, often it's the cousin of a friend's friend that we swear knows the legend to be truth. When did urban legends get their st...

The other morning, I woke up to snow and filled my little journal with psycho-pop fluorescent snowflake sketches. Each flake was a unique configuration, it's own work of art. Fragile. Temporary beauties that melt away with the slightest drop in temperature.  We're like that. Unique. Unlike anyone else on the planet. Even if we are a twin. Even if our DNA strand is exactly the same. Our e...

During a recent car ride with a loved one, we had a conversation that led to them making some fun suggestions for a few "light" episodes for the run up to the holidays. I considered them, both fresh and sweet, and then consideration turned into clarification.  This podcast is a place where everyone is welcome, it's a place of imperfections, of experimentation, of authenticity and vu...

My experiment to change fear into love. After meditation, I was drawn back to an old book I love, Angels and Awakening by Julie Jancius, a course slash workbook on how to connect with angels.  I completed this course over two years ago, but as I read through the passages in the present, redoing the exercises in the margins, I saw the words in a different way, not better or worse, just, well the be...

A few days ago, I went to a bookstore to find Lessons in Chemistry. As I walked past the non-fiction area, a book caught my eye, Eckhart Tolle's, The Power of Now. I haven't been able to put it down since. I'm writing notes in the margins and wow. Just wow. Sewn up in a few words. Being present, living in NOW, is the key to living in bliss, being our truest self, and holding a const...

Three mystical peaks in Oregon with a pool of freshwater fit for Satan himself to the south – Clear Lake that has a petrified forest perfectly preserved beneath its depths, and icy waters whose temp hovers right around freezing all year long, next Lost Lake that disappears down a deep hole, emptying it's mysterious waters to where? Some believe into Clear Lake. So damn strange. Then there&apo...

I'm not sure you can hear that in the background. The Seattle skies have opened up and it is pouring out! This is my favorite weather, a vibe that gets my creative juices flowing. If you are a regular listener, first, thank god for you. You are the reason I've kept at this the last month, this podcasting thing. In some summer episodes I teased Season Four, one that would focus on the ali...

In the woo community, we hear much about healing our past traumas, or healing our inner child.  I'm no different. I've been doing the work to look back and face, then make peace with my past. It's been a journey of forgiving, both myself and others. I truly thought to meet my inner child would be a delightful, relaxing experience. We'd hug in my mind's eye, reunited. I&apo...

Heidi Stock of Wise Wolf Craft is a special human, a gifted healer, and her episode blew the minds of listeners. I polished up the last few minutes of that original interview because there is love in the remnants that needs to be transmitted. We need more love these days. Less fear and more curiosity. Less hate and more raw, unconditional love. In that spirit, I share the following. In case you mi...

Sometimes after the interview is recorded, bits of important information come forth. Keith is an IT professional, obsessed with data, and that's why he took meticulous records of all that happened when he resided at what has been come to be known as Bothell Hell House of Ghost Adventures fame. It's my opinion that the GAC crew did not treat Keith or Tina kindly, and were there after the...

We spend roughly a third of our lives asleep. Do you buy the rote reason given? That it's when our bodies heal. And that's it. Not a very efficient pit stop, is it? Eight hours to heal the damage we do during the other 16? The recent addition to that is sleeping hours are when our brain processes, then stores our day. Really? That doesn't quite pass the BS test for me either. I&apos...

This week's episode is two-thirds teaching you the CIA approved method for remote viewing and one-third true, or should I say, Pru crime? I'm being overly dramatic, but the master class I took online to learn the whats and hows of remote viewing (or RV) was presented largely by a woman named, Prudence Calabrese. A year after the filming she dropped off the radar and her company, Transdim...

Late last night a well meaning and wonderful neighbor of ours sent us security footage of two guys that were walking around the corner of our property, shining a flashlight onto a concrete wall, talking with each other, going around the house again, and if that'd been it, I'd have assumed they were looking for a lost cat. But one of them flashed his light on our dome-shaped security came...

I hope you and your people are well. It's been a helluva month, hasn't it? I'm glad to see the end of it. Like a Clint Eastwood movie, my August was good, bad and ugly. It's consisted of some serious physical and emotional work and in order to not hide in a hole, but face the work, I painted my toenails purple. It's not a color I'd normally pick, but the wild shade he...

Full disclosure. This week's topic stems from a conversation I had with someone I love. I'm not naming them for two reasons. First, I didn't ask permission, and second, we have such rich, fantastic conversations, I never want them to think whatever we speak of in confidence is somehow fodder for Curious Cat.  During that conversation we spoke about something others have expressed to...

This week we are in for a treat. Dr. Richard Sugg is an accomplished author with 13 published books. His works have appeared in The Guardian, BBC History, Der Spiegel and The New Yorker. He has only recently ventured into the podcast arena with Dark Mysteries from the Secret University. He has a new book out now, and I've linked to it in the show. ***Full disclosure - Most of my audio editing...

Special show art by Bryn Hotes. Follow this dynamic designer on Insta here! As the summer continues to dazzle with clear lake waters and lazy hazy days, my inner spooky season fangirl is relieved that the days are FINALLY getting shorter. That said, if you venture out into the wild, don't get caught without a light source. The woods feel different when the sun dips below the treeline! This we...

This one was recorded on the fly after I woke up thinking about the BANANAS Schumann Resonance recorded in June. It was like a weaving to me, weaving the pieces of fabric of us together into a beautiful quilt. That got me thinking about duality, specifically the imbalance between the time we devote to our meat suits versus our souls. If you vibed with this episode, listen to these next! All made a...
