Connected In The Den

What happens when two witty, witchy Leos jump on da mic? Naturally we talk tarot, paranormal investigations, energy healing, haunted houses (& dolls),  collective chaos & reptilians in leadership positions. 

In this episode, I’m joined by the brilliant & hilarious Karen Rontowski, psychic medium, tarot reader, stand-up comedian & paranormal investigator. 

We get spooky, we get existential, we get into the state of the collective & corrupt government leaders & what we feel is ahead. Karen even pulls a quick tarot reading for me live on the show... which was insanely accurate! (PS I ended up having a full reading with her after our interview. HIGHLY recommend!) 

Karen has been doing stand-up & reading tarot for over 30 years. She has appeared on Comedy Central, The Late Show with David Letterman & has two Dry Bar specials. She also has her own amazing podcast: Paranormal Karen which I had the pleasure of being a guest on. You can listen to that episode here.

I had an amazing time hanging out with Karen! Take a listen to this episode, then go give her a follow, book a reading or check out her stand up! She's touring now!

In this episode I'm joined by Farah Siddiq, spiritual baddie. She is an embodied business mentor, Reiki Master, retreat leader, & founder whose work bridges astrology, energy, lineage, & wealth.

We move through topics like the collective shifts already unfolding through Uranus in Gemini & Jupiter in Leo, we unpack the astrological energies shaping the months ahead while exploring something much deeper than astrology itself: what it means to trust your own timing, reclaim your value, & create abundance from a place of authenticity.

We chat about working with your full birth chart, connecting with ancestral lineage, navigating the energetic cost of social media, the shadow side of AI, Venus energy, the power of our menopause chapter, & why some of the biggest initiations of our lives might arrive feeling like uncertainty.

I feel this episode is equal parts cosmic forecast, soul conversation, & inspiring energy boost.

I sat with model, body equality activist, & absolute force for change, Nyome Nicholas-Williams, for a conversation that goes so much deeper than body positivity.

We get into the reality of where diversity & inclusivity stand today in the fashion & beauty industries, the progress that's been made, & why it feels like we're watching some of that momentum slip away. She shares the incredible story behind her fight against Meta & Instagram to challenge discriminatory nudity policies that disproportionately censored Black & marginalized bodies. 

We talk about the self love journey, body acceptance as an everyday practice, building a deeper spiritual connection with your body, misconceptions about body inclusivity, morality, values, & authenticity in collaborations.... like this was A CHAT!

Maybe you have or have been struggling with your relationship to your body, or questioned the standards you've been taught to chase, or maybe you just want a refreshing conversation about self-worth, freedom, & taking up space unapologetically well there is medicine in this chat for you!

We're talking brains, boundaries, masking, & all the weird little ways us neurodivergent folks learn to navigate a world that doesn't really make room for difference. 

I'm joined by California-based therapist & clinical psychologist intern Natalia Rivera, founder of Awaken Therapy Center. She is a certified sound healer whose work supports neurodivergent adults through a holistic & affirming lens. Working with somatic practices, nervous system-informed approaches, & spiritually integrated care, she helps clients better understand themselves & move through life in ways that honor their unique experiences.

We chat about what neurodivergence means, the hidden ways many people learn to mask, & how we can start unmasking, showing up more authentically in our lives. We also wander into conversations about self diagnosis, boundaries, healing, spirituality, & learning to trust yourself. 

Whether you're neurodivergent, love someone who is, or are just a lil' curious, there's something here for you love!

Is your kid highly sensitive? Or are they just wildly tuned in? Maybe they are connecting to something deeper? 

This episode is about empathic kids, intuitive children, spiritual gifts & the emotional overwhelm that can come with that. It's not easy growing up deeply sensitive in a world that already feels crazy intense.

From energetic overload and anxiety to intuition, empathy, vivid dreams, energy sensitivity, and those moments that make you stop and go… wait, how did they know that? 

This is a gentle, grounded conversation for parents, caregivers, aunts, uncles, siblings, teachers, and anyone wanting to better understand the little humans navigating big energy. We’ll talk grounding, emotional safety, spiritual sensitivity, and how to nurture these gifts in healthy, balanced ways.

I mean tbh, some kids aren’t here to “toughen up.” They’re here to teach us a different way of being. Maybe this episode helps us understand them a little better.

Reality is far more layered than we’ve been taught! 

This is an expansive conversation with energy healer, channeler, & psychic medium Garz Chan. We chat about the unseen dimensions of consciousness, spirit, energy, intuition, & human awakening. From encounters with higher consciousness & multidimensional awareness to energy hygiene, discernment in spiritual spaces, & the collective shifts many people feel unfolding right now. This episode moves fiercely between the mystical & the deeply human.

Expansive but grounded, this episode invites you into a deeper conversation about what it means to be conscious, intuitive, & beautifully human.

A gentle check in around the expectations we carry about clarity, intuition & signs from spirit... AND how those expectations can sometimes keep us from recognizing the guidance already present. 

I wanted to widen the lens around what being led by our spirit guides, & our own intuitive guidance can look like. 

Just a reflective episode to help us notice where rigid ideas about "readiness", certainty, or spiritual guidance may be needing some openness. A low key chat I hope will offer some little perspective shifts.

I sat down with Dr. Trisha Wolfe  LPCC-S, a trauma therapist, educator, & researcher who specializes in complex & developmental trauma, with a focus on high-achieving perfectionists, people pleasers, & chronic over thinkers. 

We had a CHAT! 

Talking all about things that so many of us live in, but maybe don’t always recognize... what it actually looks like to be a people pleaser, overachiever, or chronic over thinker… & how that connects to our nervous system. 

We also talk about: 

- what trauma can look like in high-functioning, “successful” people
- recognizing people pleasing habits & unlearning them
- ways to set healthy boundaries as a recovering people pleaser
- the ways we might intellectualize our emotions & how to start reading your body’s cues again 
- raising kids without passing down people pleasing or overachieving habits
- & small, real life ways to create moments of safety & presence

It’s a pretty sweet, jam packed conversation that might gently shift how you see yourself, & others. A chat full of energetic medicine baby!

Ever catch yourself wondering if you’re making it all up? Or maybe you've been feeling like your guides just kinda dipped?

In this one, I'm talking about the quiet doubts that don’t always get said out loud. The second-guessing, the feeling like you hit a weird little wall, or like something in your connection with spirit & your spirit guides just isn’t landing the same. 

This is a heart-centered reflection on spirit connection & communication. Some guidance as to why you might be moving through some doubt in your spirit connection. It's an open space to reflect, reconnect, & maybe see things a little differently.

If you want to dive deeper I have an online course to help build your trust, understanding & relationship with your spirit guides!

I’m joined by Dr. Kathleen Funk, fourth-generation healer, artist, & Doctor of Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine (DAOM) for a conversation that goes in so many beautiful freaking directions.

We talk about what it means to carry healing traditions through generations, the tension between ancestral medicine & Western systems of certification, & why so many modern wellness spaces get ancient practices… a little sideways. *AHEM colonization...

We also get into psychic mediumship as medicine, working with spirit guides in healing work, & how art works as an expression of healing.  AND we couldn’t not talk about the energy of the current Year of the Fire Horse, what it might stir up collectively & how we can move with that energy instead of against it.

This is a layered, heart-open, at times spicy conversation about holistic healing, protecting ancestral wisdom, and what the future of healing & wellness looks like.
