Gather round the cauldron, lovelies! Today I’m bringing you dark and juicy conversation with the indomitable, talented M. Chastain Flournoy @niansahc on IG. We explore the power of words and how they harm and heal, parenting our trauma, poetry (of course!), love, simmer pots, relating with the moon, and a ton of other delectable bites. |

Chastain is a poet, podcaster, life & relationship coach, trauma center volunteer and all around magnificent human being. Their book of poetry, Awake to Listen: Words, Phrases and Sentences on Love, Rot, and Sleep is available now at https://madamc.com/publications/.|
