Bikes or DeathEp. 76 - Texas Hill Country Route w/ Maxwell Johnston On this episode I get a private tour of the new Texas Hill Country Overnighter with it's creator Maxwell Johnston. This is one of only four routes listed on Bikepacking.com in Texas and two of those are in Big Bend, which is beautiful, but also very remote, requiring a 10+ hour drive from Central Texas. When I got into bikepacking I quickly learned that the lack of Public Lands in Texas creates a barrier to accessing the outdoors via bike, because 97% of Texas is privately held land.

Basic Witches"Focus Pocus" with Ashley RickardsIt's no surprise that Ashley Rickards (MTV's Awkward), an actor with such large range, could talk deeply with us witches. Ashley is a crystal-slinger with a history of horse therapy and a disdain for things that make humans feel separate from one another. We talk about healing in hiding, Mercury Retrograde, how SEXY consent is, and the gifts we can mine out of T/trauma. In closing, Leah and Rachel give Ashley (@ashleyrickards) a Goddess Oracle Card reading. And for the record, she'd like someone to throw her a surprise birthday party.

The Relationship-Smart podcast015: Love, freedom and open relating with Rachel RickardsImagine giving your partner total freedom - to the point that you can be in the same room with them while they are connecting intimately with another. How would you respond? Instead of going into a jealous rage, like most of us, my guest this week Rachel Rickards, channels that energy of jealousy into her own expansion. Rachel and her partner are polyamorous, meaning they have an open relationship. As a monogamous woman, speaking with Rachel really blew my mind. I really feel that there is a lot here for us more conventional relators to be inspired by. Rachel also...
