What if becoming who you actually are requires you to burn down who you thought you were?
In this episode of Alchemy Unhinged, we’re getting into the four major stages of alchemy: Nigredo, Albedo, Citrinitas, and Rubedo. And because apparently we enjoy making our lives harder, we’re mapping the whole damn process onto our own 11-year journey of friendship, career upheaval, religious deconstruction, spiritual awakening, identity shifts, and ultimately creating Haus of Alchemy.
We talk about what happens when the old version of your life stops working, why you can’t rush the transformation, what the hell you’re supposed to do when you’re stuck in the unknown, and why trying to force yourself into your next chapter too soon can leave you a very f*cked-up butterfly. 🦋
This is the part of transformation nobody puts on the inspirational mug.
The burning.
The rebuilding.
The waiting.
The becoming.
And eventually, the moment you realize: holy shit, I made it.
Except alchemy isn’t linear. Once you reach the gold, another cycle begins.
Grab your tea. We’re going in on the deeply f*cked-up beauty of becoming yourself. 🦋

Welcome to the first-ever Unhinged Forecast, your weekly Sunday ritual for figuring out what the actual f*ck the energetic weather is before you walk into the week.
We’re combining tarot, astrology, Gene Keys, Human Design, nervous system wisdom, and actual practical shit you can do with all of it. Because knowing Mercury is doing something weird is great… but what the hell are you supposed to do about it?
Every week, we’ll look at the collective energy, pull tarot for the week ahead, break down the astrological transits, explore the Gene Keys being activated, and translate all of that into something you can actually feel, notice, and work with in your body and your life.
For our inaugural forecast, we’re talking about leaving old shit behind, taking the leap, reclaiming your power, navigating emotional turbulence, and learning the difference between activation and actual instruction.
We get into Virgo season, Venus moving into Scorpio, Mercury opposite Saturn, Gene Key 47 and its journey from oppression to transmutation, Gene Key 6 and the movement from conflict to diplomacy, emotional authority, nervous-system regulation, and why you probably shouldn’t make a giant life decision while you’re activated.
And then we pull a card for every day Monday through Sunday to see what each day is bringing.
Your assignment this week?
Stop trying to think your way out of what your body is trying to teach you.
Feel it first. Regulate. Then decide.
Preferably much later. Or never. 😂
Grab your tea. Check the weather. Let’s get unhinged.
🔮 Unhinged Forecast airs every Sunday on Alchemy Unhinged.

What happens when the childhood you remember as the best fucking childhood ever turns out to be full of programming you’re still carrying in your 40s?
Welcome to Alchemy Unhinged.
In our very first episode, we’re taking a nostalgic trip back to the 80s and 90s: Kool-Aid, Nintendo, Atari, AOL dial-up, McDonald’s, Taco Bell, VHS, playing outside until the streetlights came on, and a world before social media was living in our pockets.
And then we ask the uncomfortable question: what the fuck did all of that program us to believe?
We get into childhood programming, religious trauma, anxiety, nervous system dysregulation, inner child healing, growing up queer, deconstructing the beliefs we inherited, hustle culture, external validation, and the strange midlife awakening that happens when you start questioning the life you were taught to want.
Because maybe the career, relationship, money, status, productivity, success, and identity you’re chasing aren’t actually yours.
Maybe you’re still running software someone else installed.
This is not a solemn healing podcast. Expect deep conversations, questionable jokes, profanity, nostalgia, tea, spiritual rabbit holes, and the occasional existential crisis.
Alchemy Unhinged is where we take the beautiful, fucked-up mess of being human and alchemize the hell out of it.
If you’ve ever looked around at your life and thought, “Wait… do I even want this?” you’re in the right place.
Grab your tea. Let’s get unhinged. 🖤

Somewhere between breaking down and breaking through, you realize:
You’re not broken.
You don’t need fixing.
And maybe becoming who you actually are was never supposed to be so f*cking serious.
This is the podcast for the plot twists.
The plant medicine that rearranged your worldview.
The divorce that dismantled an identity.
The death that changed everything.
The diagnosis that made you question who you were.
The spiritual awakening that absolutely did not come with an instruction manual.
It’s the conversations we’re having after the ceremony, after the therapy, after the breakdown, after the “what the f*ck do I do with my life now?” moment.
Unscripted. Unfiltered. Raw as hell.
Auric Blackwood and Jo-Lynn Bhagwandin are going there. We’re talking spirituality, transformation, relationships, identity, healing, human design, plant medicine, the absurdity of being a person, and all the weird, sacred, hilarious shit that happens when your old life stops fitting.
Because alchemy isn’t about turning yourself into someone new.
It’s taking the life you already have, including the beautiful parts, the ugly parts, the parts you wish you could delete, and learning how to turn that shit into gold.
Alchemy Unhinged launches September 10.
Two alchemists.
Zero filter.
No fixing required.
Welcome home. 🖤
