For this episode I got to interview Otter Lieffe who wrote and self-published the incredible book of speculative fiction called Margins and Murmurations about struggle, sex work and time travel. As you know I think DIY media and representation are super important topics, so it was amazing to talk to her about the creative process and how healing it can be to imagine a different future for marginalised folks. We also talked about reframing PTSD, visibility, creating dignified working conditions for ourselves, community funding and the radical bodywork network.

Happy slightly belated new moon, you dreambabes! I hope the eclipse season is treating you well, that you are being showered in beautiful insights and that healing feels like softly floating down a river on a stable and supportive leaf (idk where that came from, I had a lot of rose tea this morning).  I feel super excited to bring you this gem of a conversation - it`s is a beautiful deep-dive into ideas, challenges and dreams around sharing, solidarity and engaging with money in sustainable, healthier ways. We also talked about the seduction of quick cash in the online business world, what it can mean to have social capital and access to resources and how the internet isn`t as democratic as we may think it is.

I have a really special episode for you to celebrate this magical moon - Vanessa Sage came back on the show (listen to the first episode with her, #9, if you haven`t already) to talk about intuitive tarot magic and finding confidence, inspiration and comfort through the cards.

I believe with every cell of my being that her work is needed now more than ever and I am excited to share a bit of her with you! Tune in to hear about our visions for collective sexual healing and trauma resolution, what we can do when old trauma resurfaces, the tenderness of starting over and doing intimacy differently and why we feel it can help to think of trauma as a bad spell.

Hey friends, this episode is really, really beautiful - especially if you are into the tarot. Lindsay Mack has been such an inspiration to me as she has a really unique way of working with the cards in healing and creative ways. I got to ask her about self-care practices, plant friends, making wild career moves and healing from trauma and PTSD.  Lindsay shared her view on soul cards, how her astrological houses have helped her better understand her experience, how she started her journey as a tarot reader after a major crisis, what eucalyptus means to her and why she wants to connect to the plants of her ancestry. We also talked about healing trauma as a present moment process around something that happened in the past, what our relationship to the word witch is and our perspective on generosity and unconventional online marketing.  A little side note - the sound quality unfortunately is a little lower than usual in this episode as I had some tech issues, I hope you still enjoy it!  More about Lindsay:  Linds

I will be super honest here - Sarah had been an instagram crush of mine for a while before I was super brave and emailed her about coming on my show and thank Goddess she said yes! Sarah is super magical yet totally down to earth and has shared lots of gems about her way of reading the tarot, working with plants and letting go of habits that are no longer serving her.
