The Woo Report: Everyday Spirituality

We are back at it.  Into the school year.  Moving into fall. This is the time of year for me when I fall into my masculine/work horse mode.  Maybe many of us do?  There’s so much I wanna get done in a day and yet I have to remind myself to eat, to breathe, to check in and really allow space to empty out, to detox, to restore.  Shanna Fiorucci says it best in this episode she talks about how our da...

We had to put our dog down last week and it gutted us.  In my grief I came back to this podcast.  Living in the edit of this conversation was such a gift, because while it's expansive, at its core, it's about letting go.   Most people don’t want to talk about death and dying.  I get it!  Even though we can honor grief as another form of love … Who wants to think about something that incl...

When we pause, look inward, or intentionally take stock of our lives, a question almost always rises to the surface: What is my purpose? Why am I here? What am I meant to do? In a capitalist society, we’re taught to believe our career equals our purpose, or that our worth is measured by our paycheck. But when you really check in with yourself, is that true? Is your self-worth only tied to your 9–5...

It's the 5 year anniversary of my near-death experience. When I got run over by a car while 18 weeks pregnant. The moment that cracked me open, transformed my life and affected those closest to me.   I. Am. So. Grateful. To. Be. Alive. In that moment I surrendered it all and accepted that this was the end. Turns out…it wasn’t. I was meant to bring Wes into the world a few months later. I was...

The best woo-woo stories are the ones that make you gasp. The kind that make you giggle with delight because the synchronicity, the message, the sign is so spot-on, you just know there’s something else at play.

How aligned are we, really, to our astrology charts?   When you read your horoscope, does it feel spot‑on? Or feel like it’s written for someone else? Author Jessie Rosen takes us right into that tension in her new novel " All The Signs " exploring astrological alignment and a concept I had never heard of before: star twins. A star twin is someone born within a two‑hour window of you, sa...

Exploring the unseen is a way to come back to ourselves.  Getting curious about how we're showing up in the world and the modalities, mindset and magic that helps us get there.  It doesn't have to be serious!  It's fun!  It's power!   And so for Episode 25, and my first solo ep, I am reflecting on what I've learned.  From crack open moments to quantum physics, sound healin...

Have you gotten into the spicy fantasy novels yet?  The Romantasy genre is a full-blown phenomenon.   Do these books have sex in them?  Yes. Yes they do.  A lot of it.  Are they so fun to read? Yes. Yes they are. The stakes are high, the sex is good, and our heroins are becoming.  They are rising. They are remembering the power within themselves. They are reclaiming their pleasure.  This is a sacr...

Often we’re told that self-love means spa days and botox.  But true self-love is much deeper than that. It’s honoring your actual needs. YOUR actual needs. Not your kids, not your friends not your partners.  Yours.   Self-love is saying no without guilt. It's setting boundaries that can make some people uncomfortable.  It’s nourishing your body, resting without proving you deserve it. It’s a...

*Content warning: this episode includes a discussion of sexual trauma and childhood sexual abuse* Trauma wears many faces. It can be loud and life-altering, or quiet and long-buried. It might stem from experiences like sexual trauma or childhood assault, or from more subtle, chronic forms of harm—neglect, shame, abandonment. Regardless of how it begins, trauma often takes root in the body. It stay...

Past Lives.  The idea that we’ve lived many lives before this one. That our soul has incarnated again and again, in different bodies, genders, cultures, and across eras. Whether you believe in past lives or not, how fun is it to wonder? What if we do get to come back again and again? What if this is all a grand multiverse story? A soul-led Marvel movie where we’re all recurring characters, playing...

Having a near-death experience is intense, to say the least. Survivors often report out-of-body experiences.  I had one of those. A sense of peace or euphoria? I felt that, too. Some describe seeing a light at the end of the tunnel, the most common stereotype we’ve all heard. Others encounter beings or past loved ones...this was the experience of Cassandra Mary Bauer. Her NDE was unlike anything I...

Fear is common in parenting...fear around messing...

Ten years ago, my dad facilitated a past-life regression with my best friend. I remember rolling my eyes so hard I almost saw my own past lives. At the time, it felt out there...too out there. But after my own brush with the beyond, something cracked open. Curiosity rushed in, and I began to see my dad’s work through a new lens. In this episode, I talk with Dr. Andy Scarpati, my dad and a longtime...

There comes a moment in our lives when we have to decide—how we’re going to show up in the world. For Laura Scarpati that moment came after getting run over by a car while pregnant. She had a choice: to stay in the trauma and victimhood, or to choose the light, to find joy in the recovery, and to lean into purpose. Lena Waithe knows something about that kind of reckoning too. She’s been on her own...

Raise your hand if quantum physics makes your brain explode. 🙋‍♀️ Yes… same.  Before this conversation the closest I got to Quantum physics was that movie, Interstellar.  Shout out Christopher Nolan.  Such a good film.  Even during this conversation with Happiness Coach & Quantum Physics Enthusiast Dan Hennessey , I found myself needing a moment to catch up. If you don’t know - Quantum physic...

How many times have you told yourself, I can’t do that ? That you’re not smart enough, strong enough, or connected enough to chase your dreams? These limiting beliefs don’t just show up out of nowhere—they’re deeply ingrained from childhood, shaped by our environment, societal rules, guilt, fear and beyond. We see them as fact when, in reality, they’re nothing more than limiting beliefs.   Untrue...
