Yee-haw! In this episode, we find out why Austin, Texas is known as the live music capital of the world and how they're proud to Keep Austin Weird.

@chrisjunebug and I venture to this southern capital to attend the 3-day Austin City Limits music festival and watch amazing shows from: Dua Lipa, Chappell Roan, Blink-182, Benson Boone, Dom Dolla, and so many more artists

We also keep our hearts and bellies full with Austin's best BBQ and Tex Mex institutions like Guero's, Hopdoddy Burgers, Las Trancas, Taquero Mucho, and so much more amazing food.

I even get myself a second pair of Tecovas cowboy boots from the flagship store and play dress up in the iconic Allen's boot store.

Giddy on up!

Video viewers will also be able to catch a sneak peek of upcoming Busy Gal merchandise.

It's Halloween week— let's get metaphysical!

In honor of this spooky holiday, this week's episode is focused more on the spiritual. Specifically, auras and aura photography.

I'll define what an aura is, yes vibes and energy, but so much more. The history of aura photography, and I'll walk through my two separate experiences taking my aura photo. In particular, I'll talk about the alignment seen in my aura based on my life/energy at the time and how they aligned with other readings done at the same time, such as an Akashic Records reading.

The two Aura Photography vendors I used:

Freedom Rocks, based in Asbury, NJ

Galaxy Hypnosis, based in Crofton, MD, but seen when visting Houss Freya in Montclair, NJ

It's part 2 of our travels to Italy in this week's episode— after visiting Pisa and Florence in last week's episode, I chat with Christine of @ChristineMade_ to talk about our separate experiences traveling in Rome.

Our favorite neighborhoods (Prati, Trastevere, Monti), favorite monuments (Vatican Museum, Colosseum, Forum), and of course, the food.

We talk about the differences in traveling as I went to Rome in the peak of high season in summer and Christine went in the fall and how that really can make all the difference.

In this episode, I'll talk about my summer experience in Italy starting with visiting Pisa and then going to Firenze aka Florence.

From there, that ends my time in Italy, but Christine brings us along to her magical trip to Lake Como and Milan. For all you Star Wars fans out there, welcome to Naboo. And if slow living in nature is more your speed, you might love this area more than Rome. Listen and find out!

Let's travel to Florence— I'll provide a little bit of historical background to the birthplace of the Renaissance and then we'll dive into the treasures of this Tuscan capital.

In this episode, I'll talk about my summer experience in Italy starting with visiting Pisa and then going to Firenze aka Florence.

Florence is an art history/architectural nerd's dream. From the beautiful Piazzas (Piazza del Duomo, Piazza del Santa Croce), mega cathedrals with unimaginable scale and so much art. From the Uffizi to the Piazza della Signoria, Florence is truly an open air museum.

Shop along the gold and jewelry shops of the medieval Ponte Vecchio bridge overlooking the Arno. Just be on the look out for pickpockets.

Treat yourself to quality Florentine leather goods at the Scuolo del Cuoio or Galleria Michaelangelo. And most imporantly, eat gelato.

My favorite spots in Florence:

La Galleria Michelangelo

Scuolo Del Cuoio

La Strega Nocciola

Gelateria Della Passera

Trattoria Casa Toscana

This episode was brought by YOU!

I collected a bunch of questions sent in by listeners to this podcast to answer them in bulk during our first Yappy Gal episode— I hope there are many, many more <3

The topics I answer include but aren't limited to:

I also quickly touch upon my recent experience with sound baths and healing with https://www.instagram.com/buddhahawkhealing. It was my first foray into both and I can feel an immediate difference. Will have a dedicated episode on this experience for sure :)

Welcome to Season 2 of Busy Gallivanting!

In this episode, we're kicking off with what started Busy Gallivanting— an Akashic Records Reading. The Akashic Records contain everything that every soul has ever thought, said, and done over the course of its existence—as well as all its future possibilities. This valuable information can help you with any aspect of your life journey.

I detail how my latest Akashic Records reading went, how it guided me through a "stuck period", my spirit guides literally told me to get off my phone, and how learning about my past lives resulted in reigniting my passion for Busy Gallivanting and how these realizations have resulted in a Renaissance of my soul, not to be dramatic.

Specifically, I talk about my past life as a Renaissance nepo baby in Florence and what it was like to go to Florence over the summer and walk where I may have walked centuries ago.

We'll also talk about the recent effects of mercury retrograde, this full moon, and what it's like having a non-supportive parent. This season premiere is a multicourse meal, to say the least.

Pics or it didn't happen? Nah, pics because it sure as hell happened!

I talk with Thania, a Gen Z-er who is self-aware that her digital footprint is very much there. We chat through her path to creativity via photography and a soul-awakening love for live music which led to an overall appreciation for capturing the moments, big and small, in life. She started filming "What's in my bag" hauls at 12 so y'all are soooo late to the game.

Thania (@tmrx_ / @throuherlenz) is a NJ-based photographer and avid music lover. You can find her on Instagram and Tik Tok sharing her journeys and footage as she takes us along for the ride.

Here's my approach to finding the best travel souvenirs. It's the third and final part of my solo summer sessions and I talk about what is arguably my favorite travel activity: shopping!

But it's not just fun and games. I talk about how my approach to travel consumerism shifted over the years and went from a collector's mindset of Pokémon proportions to something that I hope is more thoughtful and intentional to both the local community I'm shopping in as well as the people I may gift souvenirs to.

In this week's episode, we talk with @lorygutier as we discuss her passion of conquering whatever fancy comes her way. As the daughter of Mexican-American immigrants with big dreams, she talks us through her journey through young adulthood to now. From saving turtles in Cuba to starting a small business, and navigating corporate America, she teaches us that the best thing to do is to bet on yourself.

Yeah... she did it herself.
