Basic Witches

From the mean streets of NYC, comedian Christi Chiello (JFL New Face, "It's Christi, Bitch") gets witchy with us in another super feel-good episode! Christi tells us how she's defined her own custom *Christi*anity and we chat about the importance of how you speak to yourself, scheduling downtime for yourself, and how to quiet negative talk in your head. This episode is servin' up laughs with a big scoop of self-love and body positivity! In closing, Leah and Rach give Christi (@christichiello) a Goddess Oracle Card reading.

Rest in Peace, Steven Brody Stevens. We enjoyed you. #EnjoyIt #YES #PositiveEnergy

Claaaasic Frank! Frank “The Champ” Castillo (Comedy Central’s "Roast Battle" Season 2 winner & stand-up comic) puff-puff-laughs with us for this super feel-good episode. Frank realizes his mom is, like, definitely a witch and we all realize our “fun” aunts/uncles are, like, definitely stoners. We dig into Mexican magic, how Frank's mom believes more in tarot cards than she does him, how Frank’s mindset manifested his Roast Battle win, and we all agree on the true key to success: just being a gosh-darn good person. In closing, Leah and Rachel give Frank a very specific Goddess Oracle Card reading.

Leah & Rach get woo-woo talkin’ about moo-moo-lah with author/comedian Gaby Dunn (BuzzFeed, Bad with Money podcast). Sh*t gets real as we discuss student loan debt becoming a national crisis, the challenges of breaking out of being broke, manifesting money, financial abuse, and how to re-write your ‘money script’. We try to find a positive spin, but not gonna lie, money is a Devil you should know. Leah talks about the times (yes, plural) she’s been scammed, Rach updates us on her sexual healing retreat, and Gaby lets us in on which country to run off to to avoid taxes (half jk). In closing, Leah & Rachel give Gaby (@gabyroad) a wise Goddess Oracle Card reading.

You. Are. Welcome. Witches. This episode with the mega-gifted astrologer & Pro-Witch Sarah Paasch is a gift for your ears and your soul. Leah, Rach, and Sarah sync up in a metaphysical “red-tent” to let all their wisdom flow! You will *finally* understand Mercury retrograde, why you should welcome its confusion (FYI: “confusion preceeds clarity”), and Sarah breaks down birth charts for these basic witches. Leah preps for her Saturn Return, Rach preps for her sexual healing retreat, and Sarah (@sarah_paasch) shares how the stars were her gateway drug in going from a pharmacist to a psychic in her spiritual “coming out” story. In closing, the three women pull one Goddess Card reading to rule them all.

Of course we have the beautiful inside-and-out model Teela LaRoux on the pod for a refreshing talk about the beauty of nature, the feminine, and Mother Nature herself. We don't know if it was the Super Blood Wolf Moon/Lunar Eclipse in the air or if we're simply in total alignment, but our synchronicities are off the charts! Teela tells us about manifesting with oil, why the French do everything better, what it's like being a bad-ass tattoo-clad model, and how healing is not a straight line. In closing, Leah and Rachel give Teela (@teelalaroux) a Goddess Oracle Card reading that she receives with grace.

We get dark in the most light-hearted way with comedian Lloyd "EpicLloyd" Ahlquist ("Epic Rap Battles of History" on YouTube) as we dive into life, death, and how we humans get caught up in the Paradox of Choice. We chat with the self-described "Epicurean" about how men are like taxis, how Lloyd got duped by a psychic, and why Leah can never date a guy named "Ryan". In closing, Leah and Rachel give EpicLloyd (@theepiclloyd) a Goddess Oracle Card reading and the future is lookin' bright.

We get fiery talking about Burning Man, astrology, WikiFeet, and what happens to us after we die. Oh, and we were blazin' it up, so you're welcome for all the highdeas on the Universe.
