Empower Your Magical SelfEmpower Your Magical Self Season 2 Finale (S2 Ep13)Welcome to the thirteenth and final episode of the second season of my podcast, Empower Your Magical Self.
This episode is a look back at the 12 episodes that have comprised this season, and editing this episode has brought back memories that span the second half of the year. I had only completed one of these interviews when I broke my right knee on July 7. Now, almost 6 months later, I'm almost back to 100%.
Also during the course of the season, I published a book. It's called "Empower Your Magical Self With a One Month Habit Break: A...

My guest today is the brilliant and colorful Kyla Price, aka StarLady Hedge, astrologer extraordinaire, joining me from her home in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Like so many of my guests, I discovered Kyla on TikTok, where her extremely active account has garnered over 85 thousand loyal followers. What drew me to StarLady Hedge is her authentic, "we're all in...

My hope is that it will inspire you to consider your habits, and whether any of them detract from your sovereignty and joy.
Today's episode is a little different, in that I don't have a guest. Today I'm talking about habits, and about how changing mine changed my life.
The concept of "habits" looms so large in my world that I wrote a book about habits - specifically about how to break up with one (or just take a brea...

Empower Your Magical SelfSakala's Meghan Rubinstein + the Mystic Autistic (Empower Your Magical Self S2 Ep 10)Welcome to the tenth episode of the second season of my podcast, Empower Your Magical Self. My hope is that it will inspire you to consider what community means to you.
My guest today is Meghan Rubinstein, the founder of Sakala in Denver. Although we were talking by video, I've actually met Meghan in real life (!), so that sets her apart from most my guests.
I met Meghan in real life because Sakala is a real, actual place in Denver, and (with great trepidation) I attended a Coffee & Communitea gathering there last year. The trepidation was...

My hope is that it will inspire you to spend time contemplating your own magic, and how it can make your life more joyful.
My guest today is the brilliant and fierce British witch Kelly-Ann Maddox, author of Rebel Witch and the new Witch in Darkness (to which I'll return momentarily).
I read Rebel Witch: Carve the Craft that's Yours Alone last year and immediately wanted to have its author on my podcast, so this interview is a wish fulfilled for me. It wa...

Empower Your Magical SelfJoe Ellison + The Mystic Autistic: Empower Your Magical Self (S2 Ep8)Welcome to the eighth episode of the second season of my podcast, Empower Your Magical Self. My hope is that it will cause you to reconsider how you've always seen something. Perhaps there's something you're missing, or seeing through a skewed lens.
I became aware of today's guest, Joe Ellison, in the way I became aware of most my guests - TikTok. Joe is just a few months older than me, and in our early 50s, Joe and I are definite elders of TikTok. He's a singer/songwriter, and his band, Run with Patience, is currently on tour...

My hope is that it will make you consider something you've never thought of before, or think of something in a new way.
Like the majority of my guests, I became aware of today's guest through social media and quickly became a fangirl. I'm so happy that Jazmine (aka Witchyy Addams) is joining me today on my podcast for her FIRST EVER INTERVIEW.
I'm very fortunate - we've struck up a friendship (or maybe she just didn't avoid my attempts at friendship) and I...

My guest today is professional witch and all-around dreamboat Sarah Potter. I fell in love with Sarah after hearing her a few years back on Between the Worlds, the podcast of another of my heroes (and guest earlier this season), Amanda Yates Garcia.
I have a very clear memory of hearing Sarah say in that interview that she never really has to make decisions bec...

My guest today is spiritual trap music artist @monitamusic who joins me from China where she's attending...get ready for it...Kung Fu camp!
I found Monita through other high vibe hip hop artists like @peachkka (who was a guest on my first season) and @ShariyaWise (who was a guest earlier this season). Monita's music is divinely dreamy, and her vibe is infectious joy.

My hope is that it inspires you to think about the meaning of magic in your life, and how you can empower your highest, most magical self. My guest today is High-Vibe Artist and Thought Leader, Shariya Wise.
In 2020, I began to search for a way to truly live in joy. I'd been depressed for the entirety of my 47 years, and I accepted at that point the awesome responsibility before me: change or die. As you might surmise, I changed.

Today's episode is the first of 12 weekly interviews with people who I consider to be truly magical. And in the way of true magic, they each inspire the magic in me - that part of me that both yearns toward the sun like a flower and burrows into the earth like a root. The part of me that is vital and pure and aligned with life, the part that f...

I created this podcast as part of my whole Empower Your Magical Self Movement. For decades, I was allowing myself to be disempowered, and yet I complained about it all the time. I was desperately unhappy, and yet I couldn't figure out a way to be any different.
Right around the time the big rona hit in 2020, something shifted within me, as it did...

And magic is just willing to behold - in the origin of everything is the mystery. It is incomprehensible, and that is completely magic and…it's very ordinary.

So the world that very depressed people see is a lot more bland than what people who are vibrant and in a good part of their life see. So knowing that, it’s important to reframe the world around you. That’s why I have these strategically placed little bits of joy — because...

It’s also the release date of the tenth episode of my podcast, Empower Your Magical Self, featuring my guest, Integrative Life Coach Sarah Maurer (aka “Miss Adventure Pants” on social media).
Sarah and I come to the body/mind/spiritual healing space from very different starting points. While she comes from a background of athleticism and adventuring, I come from one of reading and witchiness and being utterly disconnected from my body.
We meet in the middle with our mutual obsession with nervous system regulation, I think.

I feel like in energy work, even people on their first day of Reiki 1 just learning how to do stuff - they experience magic. So It doesn't have to be that rarified. It can be on a daily basis - and some of it, I suppose, is learning - we use the word "awareness" a lot in this conversation - how to be aware enough, present enough - in the moment, actually breathing. So you're here in the moment when you recognize when the magic happens.

When you shift the perception of "everything is out to get you" to "everything is for you." When you understand that truly, you are a magician and that you are the creator of your universe. That is when magic happens. Like I said, I didn't get lucky all of a sudden, I just changed my mindset. And when I told the universe, I'm ready to accept all the good things that you want to give me. That's when it started happening. If you're sitting in a low vibration, where you're not...

- Toni Nagy
For roughly the first 48 years of my life, I regarded my body as a cage in which I was trapped, and yet I was terrified of being separated from it.
Given that background, it's not surprising that accepting and deeply connecting with my body in all its glory and shame has been a huge part of my recovery.
Somatics has changed my life. There's no creator who epitomizes what somatics is for me like Toni Nagy, so I was happy to welcome her as my guest on the 7th epi...

In the most mundane way…everything has the possibility to be magic if we take the time to appreciate it. If we are in our full intensity, if we are fully present in who we are. And I think it’s when we’re also embracing our authenticity that the magic then comes to us as well.
I don’t think it’s something even tangible…it is fully within us and of us.
It is when we let those limitations go and fully embrace our authenticity that we then allow any opportunity...

On the one hand is sleight of hand. It's tricking someone it's manipulating someone into believing something that's not true,…
But when I think of magic I think of the way someone does something that for them is deeply easy. I'm one of those people that could, go into a kitchen and turn four eggs and salt and noodle into something magical,

And then creating it and being a part of weaving it into your life, bringing it into you…So magic can be different variations of abundance.
