Have you been feeling apathetic lately? Too exhausted by unprecedented events to care much anymore? Apathy has been a theme in a lot of my one-on-one tarot readings lately. And it's been something I've been struggling with personally these days. But it's not a state I want to be in, so disconnected and uncaring. Extended periods of apathy does no good for our mental health. On this week's episode,...

When your workload doubles within the span of a couple of weeks, how do you keep your head above water? This week's episode tries something different. I document four days in a week-long period of intense, dizzying overwhelm. This wasn't my intention when I set out to make this episode, but it became exactly what I needed. On this week's episode, I get into... What overwhelm feels like to meThe si...

Do you understand the difference between equality and equity? I recently had to share my understanding of the concepts with my Community Development Class. It got me thinking of how we were raised during a time where equality was the goal, and equality is what everyone wished for. But seeking equality alone isn't going to change the circumstances for people who face unique barriers. We need equity...

We all have the voice of self-doubt in the back of our minds. But how do you manage that self-doubt when you're in the middle of a crisis situations? On today's episode, I share the story of a time where I had to ignore any self-doubt I had in order to de-escalate a domestic dispute in my building. The circumstances that surrounded this event had me on high alert and painfully aware of the risks i...

As humans we evolve, grow, and change constantly. In 10 years, we won't be the same person we are today. But through change, we can outgrow parts of ourselves. Over time, we may find ourselves having to say goodbye to old ways of being, pieces of our lives that don't fit anymore, and ideas that no longer work for us. On this week's episode, I get into... The changes I've slowly come to realize ove...

Uh, what's happening? It's the Season 3 finale! We are ending this season of Tarot Reflections with an episode that matched its tone: all over the map, unpredictable, and poorly planned. But I'm sharing what I did in this past year that made podcast planning, well, non-existent. I also tease what's to come in 2024 -- I promise, I've planned it out this time! Things are changing. A new Tarot Reflec...

I've been exploring my gender identity with an open curiosity for the past few years. And that journey had often left me a little confused, and uncertain, and questioning a lot of my understandings of the world. But when I started to honour my spiritual side and explore new spiritual practices, it suddenly all made sense. PLUS: we're on YouTube! On this week's episode, I get into... My gender stor...

Do repeating thoughts leave you feeling full of anger, hurt, or revenge? How can you begin to heal and let go of these painful feelings? My brain loves rumination. But my body doesn't. So when I begin to spiral with memories of painful moments or fantasies of karma, I need to do something -- anything -- to stop the spiral and release those feelings. Something to help me heal from the hurt and let...

When children are free to be kids, it can remind us of how powerful their joy can be. How can you replicate that feeling of child-like joy in order to bring a sense of peace, happiness, and freedom in to your life? In today's episode, I share how impactful it was to be witness to the excitement and energy that Drag Queen Storytime offered the kids in attendance and how it inspired me to create a m...

Do you know where your feelings are coming from? Can you identify why you feel them? This is a week for connecting with our selves, connecting with our full identity, and breaking old patterns or stories. We have a heavy week of self-reflection and introspection ahead friends, and the Universe might just be giving you the smack upside the head you've been needing. On this week's episode, I get int...

Pride month feels different this year. Existing as a Queer person hasn't always been easy over these past 365 days. There is an exponential rise in anti-trans and anti-queer hate. We're seeing more and more hate groups becoming visible and vocal and unafraid. Which is why we need our 2SLGBTQ+ Allies to step up and take action. It's not enough to post a 'Love Is Love' quote or dress up in rainbow....

Witchcraft can be a powerful part of mental health care. Magick and mental health are so intertwined, and I'm not sure anyone knows that better than Charlye and Macy from the Witch Bitch Amateur Hour. The three of us got together to chat about how our practice and our magick has supported our mental wellbeing and visa versa. Then I pull the cards for them both and dive into my signature Building M...

I used to think that journaling wasn't for me. And every time I would hear somebody talk about how journaling changed their life, I would roll my eyes. I had told myself the story that I was broken somehow because I couldn't feel this powerful impact from journaling. But then I realized I wasn't broken, the way I was using the tool was. I had to become adaptable to what I viewed journaling was and...

Are you spending enough time in the present? Being present is powerful. It allows you to develop a deeper understanding with your sense of self and connect with your emotions and thoughts. As we begin a fresh year on the Gregorian Calendar, now is a wonderful time to begin practicing being more present. Let's be honest though, any time is a wonderful time to be more present. On this week's episode...

I've been providing you messages from the Universe for 25 episodes now. But how did I get started with tarot reading? Today, I'm sharing how I became a mental health tarot reader. It was a slow journey to bring me to the point where I knew it was a gift I needed to share more. Especially because it started for me as something silly I'd do for fun. But the Universe has a funny way of sending you si...

When we fall out of our routine, how can we get back on track? Establishing positive routines can play an important role in strengthening and maintaining your mental health. Falling out of routine is bound to happen now and then. But why does it have to seem so much harder getting back into routine than establishing it in the first place?! The process of reestablishing positive routines can be cha...

Mental illness, such as anxiety or depression, can cause you to lose trust in yourself. Without that trust we tend to fall out of alignment with our authentic selves, seek control through unhealthy patterns, and ignore our need for community care. For this Libra New Moon Renewal Bonus Episode, I sat down with Samara Lane to talk about how she broke free from her anxiety and began to trust herself...

Does perfectionism hold you back? Have you ever declared something a failure before it's even over? Or get in a panic over the thought of disobeying your personal and arbitrary deadlines? This has been the theme of my week, so I decided to give myself permission to be late. To not be perfect. On this week's episode, I get into... How perfectionism almost let me ruin something goodHow to figure out...

What do you do with regret? Let's be honest, the idea of living without any regrets isn't exactly realistic. Regret can be an opportunity in our lives though. We can use regrets to learn, grow, and evolve in our role in the world. On this week's episode, I get into... The story of one of my current life's regretsWhat I've decided to do with that regret nowAn exploration of bad mental health invest...

How can you know when you’ve learned enough, and practiced enough, to bring your thing into the world? Reid Hoffman, the founder of LinkedIn, has been quoted saying “If you are not embarrassed by the first version of your product, you've launched too late.” Is waiting fo...

Writing can be a powerful tool to strengthen your mental health and build mental resilience. It has the ability to provide space for us to process heavy emotions, release anxious energy, and allow us to enter a creative flow state filled with meditative benefits. For this Leo New Moon Renewal Bonus Episode, I sat down with author and poet Shelby Leigh to talk about how writing is a powerful tool t...

Are you a safe ally? We all play a role as an ally -- or at least I really hope my listeners do. An ally is a person who acts with and for others in pursuit of ending oppression and creating equality. Lately, I've seen a lot of well-meaning allies, and some not so well-meaning allies, show up in ways that don't support the safety of those they are wanting to lift up. So today, I'm talking about ho...
