Grief Magic: Rituals, Stories & Gentle Conversations about Loss

Hey everyone, mmmhhhh. Today is one of those spacious Sunday that allows for rambly solo episodes recorded in bed with tea & biscuits.  I know many of us have been holding out for summer for a long time and now that it's coming to an end the pressure to have fun and be out there can be tangible. And then there is the world with its news, the uncertainty of winter and the need to process a...

Hey friends, I'm reaching out with an episode that I hope will bring some comfort in these heavy times.

Here is some of what we talked about:   How and why the Missing Witches project came to be  Wha...

Hey dreamers, ahhh. What a time to be alive.  I've been having a lot of feelings this new moon and I got my second vaccine on Friday. This led me to think about the vaccine/no vaccine "debates" that are circulating our collective consciousness and it frankly made me feel heartbroken to say the least.  Then the IPCC report on climate change came out today and I wanted to speak to that too...

Hey dreamers, it's a sweet summer day over here, a perfect time really to be soft and think about the ways we want to love, hold & accept ourselves.

Here is some of what we talked about:   What it means to be in radical se...

Hey everyone, this is a little exploratory solo episode, recorded on a break from watching Love Island, lol. I've been getting back into doing little readings for myself and others and I wanted to share a bit about how being away from instagram has changed things, how I make time for super low energy rituals at the moment and how it helps me tell better stories about what's going on for me. Tarot...

Hey friends, I've been living without social media and a smartphone for a while now and it's something that does seem to raise questions for people. Recently I dug my old iPhone back out because I wanted to share pictures of my garden and my cast post-surgery and it made me pause to see how it felt and if I had missed it. This episode isn't trying to convince anyone to ditch their phones or apps o...

Hey beloved listeners, it is time for one of my slightly rambly solo episodes full of feelings and reflections!

Hey everyone, mmmhhh. This is a good one! I've known Meghan for a while and really love her work & approach and hope you will too.

Hey everyone, here we are, we made it to the very end of 2020!  I wanted to record this episode to say thank you and also to give anyone who needs it permission to not make new year's eve resolutions. We've done enough by just making it through this year without abandoning ourselves and we deserve a gift to celebrate that instead of another to do. Of course if you have a resolution that feels...

Hiii! First of all, thank you so so much for all your love, encouragement and support this year. I've been feeling it and it means the world to me.  In this last episode of 2020 I've been reflecting on what it means to let things be enough, at least for now. Going into the winter break I want to let go of all the shoulds and could haves and just allow myself to rest and digest. I hope you'll...
