Pessimism and negativity are out, positivity and optimism are in: if I declare this to be true, that means it’ll be true, right? LOL, I wish! While I can’t snap my fingers and get rid of all the world’s negative Nancys and pessimistic depressed masses, what I CAN do is tell you about why cultivating a positive imaginary and worldview (and default perspective) isn’t spiritual bypassing (or bullshit), and about how it can and absolutely will make you a happier, healthier person.

2025/04/22

In this episode I discuss one of the most important qualities in successful, happy, and growth oriented people: curiosity! I’ve noticed that in the past decade or so, it’s been significantly on the decline. I also talk about the rise of abstracting people into symbols, rather than listening/observing to see who people actually are. It’s become normal to dehumanize people with a different perspective, and this concerns me due to its potential implications for the future of democracy and the future of

Believe it or not, the title of this podcast episode is something Jordan Peterson said at a recent lecture I attended. He was speaking on personal growth and self improvement from a Christian lens, but when I heard those words, my own worldview and cosmology - which place an enormous emphasis on witchcraft - came to mind. To me, it's such a witchy phrase! In this episode, I explain what this phrase means to me, why I relate it to how witchcraft and magic work, and what the intentional self-loving,

Eclipse season is almost over! Our eclipse portal this March ends with a bright partial solar eclipse with a new moon in Aries (and with the sun in Aries, too). I talk about what the energy of this moment is, how we'll feel during it and when it's done, how we can work with this energy to confidently enter our next season with no regrets, and I pull 4 (awesome!) tarot cards which reveal more about how this eclipse will hit.

2025/03/14

As therapy speak becomes more common, I've noticed that many people have a total misunderstanding of what boundaries actually are. People will complain about 'boundaries' when other people don't behave how they want them to. But - newsflash - boundaries are at their core really about US, and our behaviour: the one thing we do have control over. In this episode, I talk about what boundaries are, and how best to think about and enact them.Secrets of a Witch is a podcast by writer,

2025/03/02

I've noticed an unsettling pattern in many astrology creators and influencers today: a tendency to leave everything 'transformational' in the future, that the next big thing is always around the corner, we just have to wait for everything to change signs and then boom. In this episode, I share some criticisms and worries about what kind of mindset and approach to life this 'passive' attitude towards astrology and spirituality create, and why I think witchcraft does a better job of - should we choose

Is love enough? 'Love' has been a word/concept people in abusive and dysfunctional relationships often use to stay in the relationships they're in. This is a bad idea.

Today, we have a gorgeous full moon in Leo. In this episode, I talk about how this full moon is the perfect opportunity to step into the full luminosity and brightness of who you are. Stop living in the shadows, and reconsider your connections with people that do. Life is too short to be lived by half measures; life is too short and too beautiful to be dishonest or in shame about who you are, who you want, and who you want to be. The only way to have it all is to be authentic, self-loving, and

For many, it can be so tempting to live a secret life. Being our true, honest selves can be scary: will anyone accept us in our mess? Will we get called out by friends and family for behaving badly or acting out of line? Would anyone truly love us if they knew all our kinks, desires, mistakes, and ugly points? When no one knows who we truly are, we insulate and isolate ourselves. When our friends, family, and community don't know who we actually are behind closed doors or what we're going

Hi there party people! In this vulnerable episode, I share about what I learned from an ill advised situationship blowing up in my face.

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.

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?
