• 192. Play, Fear, Experimentation, and Writing Rules for Our Lives
    Jan 23 2025

    This episode is about testing out our internal algorithms, our standard operating procedures, and the rules and regulations by which we lead our lives. I outline four of the main ways we - in my opinion - create these rules, and I discuss a recent example of breaking one of my own long-standing rules, how that went, and what I learned. What are the rules that create the boundaries of your own life? This episode will give you a lot to think about as you ponder your own life and circumstances.

  • 191. Consistency in Relationships Creates Emotional Safety
    Jan 19 2025

    In this episode, I talk about the importance of consistency, predictability, and reliability in all relationships, but especially romantic ones. Consistency creates emotional safety and trust in relationships, which creates more space for authentic intimacy to blossom. Listen to learn more about why this is so important. (And, side note: this isn't about perfectionism, but rather healthy emotionality and relating.)

  • 190. Why I'm Breaking Up With Chani Nicholas and Other Woke Astrologers
    Jan 8 2025

    I've followed astrologer Chani Nicholas' work for over a decade, and travelled to LA to meet her in 2019. After being such a loyal supporter and fan of her work for so long, it's time for me to switch gears and divest my attention from her and other woke astrologers. In this episode, I critique some of Chani's recent content, as well as her need to re-record her astrological content once her candidate lost the American presidential election. I talk about why this behaviour paints spiritual people in a bad light, and why wokeness and political ideology have no place in contemporary astrology.

  • 189. Why 2025 Should Be Your Villain Era
    Jan 3 2025

    Friends! Welcome to 2025! In this upcoming year of the snake (!) I talk about why this year should be your villain era - especially if you're freaked out by the idea. Also, psst, we are back to our original podcast name, woohoo! Expect this to be the podcast's forever title; at the top of the show, I explain what all went down and why there have been so many changes.

  • 188. Discussing Politics Across Difference: Illogic and the Importance of Openness
    Nov 24 2024

    In this era of political polarization and a very interesting lack of empathy and intellectual openness, it's especially important to examine our own rhetorical styles as well as that of others. What typical appeals/arguments do people use? Do they appeal to extreme emotion, or to their own identity? In this episode, I use a recent dinner I had with two lefty New Yorkers as a jumping off point to discuss effective (and ineffective) ways of discussing ideas. I provide critiques, offer suggestions, and end with a provocative challenge to my listeners.

  • 187. My New Poetry Book, Rapeseed (and How Creativity Can Heal Trauma)
    Nov 20 2024

    Why release a poetry book about healing from sexual violence and rape almost 11 years to the day after the fact? In this episode of the Claim Your Magic podcast with Sabrina Scott, I talk about my brand new (and first ever) collection of poems, why I'm releasing it now, and how creativity can help us heal from the traumas we've been through.

  • 186. Witchcraft Isn't Inherently Feminist
    Nov 19 2024

    Yes, that's right! Contrary to popular belief, witchcraft doesn't actually have anything (inherently) to do with feminism. Can you be a witch and a feminist? Of course. But being a witch doesn't mean you have to have certain politics, or even have political inclinations and opinions at all - let alone work with them in your spirituality and magic. This episode was inspired by an experience I was very blessed to have recently: being asked to comment upon a book up for potential publication. I'm not naming names (and never will, that's not the point; also, these ideas are widespread), but it has become taken for granted in many spaces that witchcraft and far left politics are one and the same. In this episode I explain why that's not true. Also, a little update on my new poetry book, Rapeseed, and the successful Bodymagic Kickstarter campaign!

  • 185. I Failed. Here's Why You Should Too
    Oct 25 2024

    Gotta love a totally counterintuitive podcast episode title, haha! In this episode I talk all about how my first Kickstarter attempt failed big time, and why within 1 minute of giving up on it and hitting cancel...I created a new one, incorporating lessons learned. Fear of failure can be paralyzing, and a sign of trauma - movement through failure helps uplift us. In this episode, I talk about how!
