Basic Witches

Spiritual psychology and sex & relationship coach *and* author of "Self-Approved", Kat Trimarco, knows first-hand that once you see the pattern, you're not the pattern. She broke her pattern, got sober, and leveled up by being her f*cking self and she knows everyone is capable of the same. Like her book, this episode is jam-packed with helpful reminders about rock bottoms, the beauty of failure, erotic blueprints, the importance of embodiment, and making loving space for "negative" emotions. Get ready to level up, witches. In closing, Leah and Rach give Kat (@kat_trimarco) a Goddess Oracle Card reading.

We popped ALL the cherries at our first-ever LIVE show with Arrow star, Echo Kellum! Recorded live at The Comedy Store in front of an audience, you'll feel like you're there with us as we chat losing our virginities, superstitions, how boys can be witches too, and why Echo chose his beard over organized religion. Please hexcuse some audio issues - we're practicing imperfection. We chat having sex with AI robots, going towards fear, and social media cleanses. In closing, we give Echo (@echokells) a Goddess Oracle Card reading. By the end of the ep, we hope you'll have learned to get off your phone, do good karma spells, and have the confidence of a straight white male. Heck! Maybe even expect a miracle...

Close your eyes and take a trip inside your mind with us... a journey through the YOUniverse within yourself! Psychedelic and thought-provoking artist/comedian Ramin Nazer came to the pod and blew our minds! We're talkin' downloads from aliens, synchronicities from surrendering, manifesting, going "digital", evolving towards love, and burning all the 2D lines we think of as "reality"! Thank Goddess that Ramin has a positive outlook with his bright predictions of the future. This episode is packed with hopeful realizations, big laughs, and debates of whether we're mostly flesh or consciousness. In closing, Leah and Rachel give Ramin (@raminnazer) a Goddess Oracle Card reading.

Queer aspiring comic, unapologetic Insta-thot, and an O.G. YouTuber, R.J. Aguiar is a witch who doesn't hold back.

Laugh along with us through joyous convos on masculine/feminine, freaky candle magic, divorce, working through the shadow self, and a whole lot of harmony. TLDR? We're all one, witches. In closing, Leah and Rach give RJ (@damnitrj) a Goddess Oracle card reading.

We all "have our demons", but Pro-Witch RH Stavis (Cosmpolitan, Newsweek, NPR) is an exorcist working to rid people and spaces of unwanted "attachments".

She has to take her self-care to the next level and explains why everyone needs to do the work to keep their vibrations high - because possession is way more common than you think! Leah, Rach, and R.H. chat exorcisms, healing mama trauma, the eight main kinds of demons, roommates from Hell, and how the dead just won't SHUT. UP! In closing, Leah and Rach give RH (@rhstavis) a Goddess Oracle reading.

We are so grateful for comedian & trans man Reed Brice for opening up and sharing his transition story with us. Reed aims to speak openly and publicly so that other trans people can live their lives and not need to constantly explain themselves. Reed chats with Leah and Rachel about the spiritual journey of going through a second puberty, top surgery, coming out after the 2016 election, experiencing both male AND female orgasms, and finding his chosen family - and he does it all with honesty and humor. Listen in as Reed tells us how he was *found* in trans-lation. In closing, Leah and Rach give Reed (@thatdangdingus) a Goddess Oracle Card reading.
