Whew ok - this is a BIG episode, full of lots of ideas that you may find just a little bit spicy. I talk about healthy masculinity, healthy femininity, the beauty of masculine and feminine polarity, and the ways in which contemporary feminism has set women up to fail by entrenching us in iron castles, preserving our trauma rather than healing us from it. I touch on my own gender and trauma healing journey and how healing trauma has also created space for me to connect with my inner divine feminine energy, and to recognize healthy masculine energy when it shows up. Femininity doesn’t have to be scary, dangerous, or put us at risk; it is easier for women to unfurl and blossom in our feminine energy when we are with men who are in their healthy masculine. NOTE: In this episode I do speak in energetic gender binaries - if that’s not for you, it’s ok! Most of my work involves discussing energy and polarity in gender neutral ways. It’s now time for me to get more specific about these energies and how they can play out in our lives.
Read MoreOk, I know I know - I can be a bit “take no prisoners” at times, but underneath it, I am warm and fuzzy. As much as I advocate a bit of a decisive cutthroat vibe at times, I do believe that feeling our feelings is important, and even deeply physically and emotionally healing. In this episode, I talk about the importance of feeling our feelings, seeing big feelings as gifts and lessons, and the importance of meeting our feelings with openness and curiosity.
Read MoreHave you ever been left out? Not invited to the kewl kids’ party (or podcast, or book anthology thang, or conference, or or or)? Well, tbh, same - witchy and spiritual communities can be just as cliquey and rude as any other ol’ group of people. In this episode, I share the only ritual I ever did that completely was rejected by the universe (to find a ready-made spiritual community to plop happily right into), how I felt about it, lessons from it, and what I did next. I also give suggestions on what to do if you feel totally shunned by all the places you wanna be, or like you don’t belong. You got this - I promise.

Read MoreIn the last few years, as we’ve seen the rise of anti-science stances among adherents of alternative spirituality, there’s also been an increase of critiques of things like reiki, witchcraft, and everything new age woo as being conspiracy theories or cults. In this episode I argue that many of the current critiques of contemporary fringe spirituality are fuelled by cynicism and contempt, and incorrectly lump everything into the ‘conspiracy’ category, often displaying as much paranoia as those they claim to critique - a hilarious and yet sad hypocrisy. I discuss what I believe led us here, including the death of expertise, lack of discernment, and perhaps the disillusionment of today’s critics.
