Bevin: A Femme Over 40 and her Friends

Colin Bedell has an MA in Fashion Studies and spends his days teaching folks on Instagram how to improve their lives with astrology. "Fashion and Astrology both forecast, why couldn't you blend them?" was a question that changed the course of his career.

My biggest lessons from 2020 weren't what I expected but definitely what I needed! Like being able to receive unconditional love from people when they don't understand me! And how important it is to me to be a lifelong learner. 

I'd love to hear what your lessons are--leave me a voice note at anchor.fm/bevin

Since I became an aerobics instructor the most common question I get from folks is "I'm Worried About My Loved One's Health, What Should I Do?" "I want this person to do your aerobics class." Well, here's my answer to how I think you should approach your experience with your friend. 

Content warning, in the latter part of the episode I'm processing my friend choosing to end their life via suicide and if I could have influenced Nyrie's mental health practices I would have. They asked for my advice frequently, I gave it, but they didn't take action. 

It is a devastating reckoning about my own experience with mental health. 

I hope you know that shame is what keeps us from real human connection and life experience. Empower yourself to change who you really can change--yourself.

You're scrolling instagram and see all these perfect images of seemingly perfect people. Comparing it to your life, which is full of obstacles and hardships, feeling bad about yourself! Here's the truth--everyone is a mess! Everyone has life stuff going on. I talk about disinviting drama into your life, accepting the hard parts of life, and letting your self image rise to the level of humility.

A year after moving into a tiny house in the forest I reflect on how it has taught me about change. Mushrooms in the forest show me unexpected variety and inevitable decay. The older population I live amongst teach me about change and death. I talk about how choosing our perception is our point of most power--how we frame the world around us and the attitudes we keep determine the experiences we have with our challenges.

This is our second conversation on the podcast (check out Episode 14 for his back story), and this time we focused on shadow work. What is shadow work, how do we examine our wounds and harder parts of our personality with compassion and love? How do we create balance between light and dark? How do these balances come together through our magikal practices? Ever striving to find a balance between being positive and not falling into "toxic positivity."
