Enjoy 2024-06-2326 minA Smattering of HeresyEpisode 17 | Titrating Despair // Witch Trials P2***TW: life-ending thoughts
Hello! Hi, how are you?
Today's episode is part 2 of the witch trials! Right on time- in the heart of the smack of the dab. Titration is a tool in somatic therapy for stepping in and out of a feeling/ experience in order to build inner trust. It comes into play in today's episode and the result may be a little different than expected! ;)
I think there's something for everyone in this one. And if you've been struggling with big sad lately, then there might be something...2024-04-1756 minA Smattering of HeresyEpisode 17 | Titrating Despair (witch trials P2)***TW: life-ending thoughts

I hope you enjoy today's episode even though the subject matter is not enjoyable. Women are extraordinary. Our resilience is unflagging despite centuries and millennia of oppression. If there's a women in your life (uterus optional) that you love, buy her a coffee. Tell her she is flaming goddess of unlimited potential. Or here's a thought- don't interrupt her. Affirm with your actions that her voice is valuable. 2023-11-2532 minA Smattering of HeresyEpisode 15 | Unworthy godsHi, hello! How are you?

Her name is Hattie and Avery and I love her very much. Hattie is a black, sweet, chompy Aries. Currently, she is post dinner-pre zoomies. Avery keeps taking laps back to the bathroom (where Hattie's food bowl is) to see if the gate has magically disappeared. It has not. Avery just laid down in the closet and sighed-- so hard to be a bun. That's a pretty normal evening for us these days. Lots of cuddles and laughing and working at my desk on creative stuff. I feel like...2022-11-241h 03A Smattering of HeresyEpisode 11 | Gender in the TarotHi!. Hello, how are you? Avery and I are living downtown and she has special boots she wears outside to protect her peets from the blistering cement. She does the baby giraffe walk and it's incredibly cute. This summer, btw, can get absolutely wrecked. What is July like where you live? Merciless?
Today we talk about tarot and tushies. It's an invitation to see a few of the cards in a different way. I hope it is a liberating explanation for you but, as always, take what helps and leave the rest. This episode focuses on the M...2022-07-2637 min

Pairs well with earl gray, Turkish biscuits, and cuddles. We talk about Linked In the insufferable Incel that won't leave you be and the anecdotal equations of a person's worth. More importantly we talk about how creativity cannot be lost. It is always within you- infinite creativity gifted from an infinite God.
I hope you had a gorgeous Yule. I made a new Pinterest board of things that were once dreams but have come to fruition.

Hi! How are you? Buffy the Vampire Slayer is amazing and I will hear nothing to the contrary. Get into it. In this episode we talk through one of the fundamentals of art and composition. A variety of excellent examples. Not one, but two different examples involving severed hands! Avery says hi at the end with her sweet tippytaps. Below is a list of the referenced artists. 2021-10-1827 minA Smattering of HeresyEpisode 2 | Internalized HomophobiaWe breathe deeply.
Internalized Homophobia is a heavy topic, it follows this episode is a sober one. If you are in the right frame of mind, join a discussion of shame, religion, toxic internal dialogue, bi-as, and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's sexuality. We also talk through eight slices of a self acceptance pie and classic gay childhood moments.... In case you need to hear it. You are gay enough. You are enough, period. You are everything. 2021-09-2125 minA Smattering of HeresyEpisode 1 | Between Lughnasadh and the Autumnal EquinoxWe begin. Imperfectly.
On a morning hike Avery and I found berries and patches of moss in shady spots. The heat radiated up from the ground. Dripping sweat by the end of our hike, I cranked up the car's AC and Avery guzzled water. The in-between can be uncomfortable. Join us for a chat about using the moon to stay present, experience the shift in seasons instead of living in a projection of the future. We are here. Now.
