Please join us in welcoming Drew Larimore, an award-winning playwright, screenwriter and librettist. As an accomplished writer, Drew shares his journey of integrating spiritual tools into his creative process as well as recounting how past life regression, guide work, and ancestral healing fuel his writing and artistic expression.

Drew’s work has been produced in the U.S. and internationally–aptly described as “hilarious and slightly devastating”. His work for the stage and screen has been highlighted in The New Yorker, Variety, The New York Times, Theatrius, TheatreMania, Australian Stage, Sirius XM—and more.

His new play, THE CANNIBALS OF MCGOWER COUNTY, the first in a three- party trilogy about the South, is set to premiere at TheaterWorks Hartford in August of 2026. He’s been an artist-in-residence at Scotland’s Hawthornden Castle, The Studios of Key West, Dairy Hollow, The Key West Literary seminar, and more.

You can learn more about Drew’s work at drewlarimore.com and also by subscribing to his free Substack, @drewlarimore, where he regularly shares thoughts on the writing and creating process.

In this episode we look at how AI can but a useful tool for empaths to enhance their emotional and spiritual lives, while also considering the potential risks of over-reliance. There is no doubt AI is here to stay and is growing exponentially in all aspects of our everyday and global interactions. AI intersects with the very qualities that many empaths value most: emotional attunement, intuition, connection, generating true meaning, and compassion. 

This really is a fascinating discussion and something all of us need to consider as AI becomes a more prominent part of our lives. A good question to keep in mind: A useful question is:

“Is this interaction helping me become more connected to life, people, nature, and my own inner knowing—or is it becoming a substitute for them?”

Please join us as we explore the astrological and energetic influences shaping the month of July! This is a big month of planetary shifts, moon phases, retrogrades but all inviting transformation. Several major transits occur in Cancer, a sign associated with emotional memory, intuition, home, and the inner child.

One thing that stands out about July 2026 is that it doesn’t appear to be a month that rewards pushing harder. The Cancer emphasis, Neptune retrograde, and Mercury retrograde all suggest a slower, more receptive rhythm. For many empaths and highly sensitive people, the deepest insights may arise not through effort, but through creating enough spaciousness to hear what is already present.

The energies of this month can truly become a gift if balanced with adequate rest, nature, solitude, and nervous system regulation.

Please join Samantha and Denise as they explore the energetic themes for the month of June which arrives with a clear message: stay present. There’s a strong energetic pull toward grounding yourself in the here and now, even as your inner world feels a little… divided. This month carries a potential tension between logic and intuition—between what you think and what you feel. As an empath, this can feel amplified. Your mind may try to rationalize something your body is clearly rejecting, or your emotions might contradict what seems “reasonable.” Instead of forcing a resolution, June invites you to hold space for both. Let them coexist without rushing to fix or label the experience. This truly can become a month of welcoming in long awaited transformation!
