Callie Little is a polyamorous, pansexual witch who illustrated and co-authored my favorite tarot deck, Every Little Thing You Do is Magic, and its incredible companion book, which offers readers the opportunity to deepen their relationship with the cards and their own intuition. I reached out to them to replace two cards my dog had chewed up and they responded saying they checked out the pod and wanted to come on if I'd have them. IF I'D HAVE THEM?! I melted and exploded and said absolutely yes, thank you, Universe, and the results were glorious.

In this episode:

• going from “I’ll try anything once” to… wait, I actually have standards now??
• why you don’t have to earn your desires or make them make sense to anyone else
• the difference between real connection and just doing what you think you’re supposed to do
• the subtle ways patriarchy trains you to give up your autonomy and call it love
• that moment when something clicks and you’re like… oh, this isn’t a choice, this is a cage
• how to stay open without ignoring every red flag in front of your face
• a definition of cheating that might rearrange your brain a little
• what it actually looks like to be yourself first, even in a long-term relationship
• how to stop spiraling in shame and start getting curious instead
• why you keep wanting people who aren’t that great for you (and what that’s really about)
• building relationships based on choice instead of fear, obligation, or habit
• a recurring theme: you’re allowed to want what you want. yes, even that.

also:

• tarot as a tool for figuring your shit out (more useful than you think)
• book recs that will absolutely mess with your understanding of love in a good way

It's SO GOOD, pinecones!
