Welcome to the week of May 30th — and a shining message from the Sun 🌞

This episode is a love letter to your growth, your power, and the sacred art of presence.

Kirsten dives into:

• The magic of the Gemini new moon and its whispered missives

• Reclaiming your ritual, even when it’s messy or small

• Why confirmation bias might be clouding your joy

• How to anchor into gratitude and widen your frame of vision

• The quiet beauty of noticing what’s already working — and celebrating it

You’ve done more than you realize. You’ve created more than you’ve acknowledged.
This week, let the light in. 🌞

✨ Come join Mystic Rising, where we move through archetypal energies each month to reclaim our intuition, creative purpose, and spiritual strength.

Tell me what you’re loving, what you’re longing for, and what would support you most on this mystical path. I'm listening 💌

This week, everything’s being reshuffled—and not just the cards. Life. Identity. What matters. What doesn’t. In this episode, I share a raw, unfiltered reflection on the deep energetic reordering many of us are moving through right now.

🌿 What do you trust when the structures fall apart?
🌿 What myth are you living, and are you still the hero of it?
🌿 How can you slow down enough to let your deeper truth catch up to you?

We pull the Hanged Man this week—a sacred invitation to pause, soften, and open to the alternate perspective. This card is a whisper from the universe to wait before reacting, to see again, and to surrender to a greater wisdom moving through your life.

I also open up about my relationship to social media and the discomfort I feel with the noise, fear-based messaging, and performance that can sneak in. There’s an ache for authenticity, for communion, and for remembering that you are the consistent, no matter what reshuffles around you.

🌀 NEW: I’m trying out video again on YouTube—raw, unpolished, and real. No filters, no scripts, just me, showing up as I am. Let’s see what happens when I let myself be seen, just like I am in audio. This is a tender experiment in self-trust and transparency. (The audio file is better here on Spotify)

In this episode:

• The Hanged Man as teacher of pause and perspective

• Plant medicine in its most accessible form (think trees, tea, and quiet walks)

• A meditation on our collective disorientation and how to hold it with grace

• Four evolving ideas for this podcast’s future (let me know what speaks to you!)

✨ Let yourself be guided by the quieter truths this week. There is power in the pause, magic in the not-knowing, and wisdom waiting in the trees.

Welcome to It’s Giving Mystical, your weekly dose of spiritual insight, tarot wisdom, and poetic perspective.

This week, Kirsten dives deep into the emotional undercurrents of the Three of Swords—a card often misunderstood, but one that speaks to the soul’s capacity to endure, transform, and keep loving anyway.

Set against the backdrop of Taurus season and the lingering echoes of the Scorpio full moon, this episode explores:

✨ The sacred harmony between embodiment (Taurus) and transformation (Scorpio)
💔 Why the Three of Swords is actually the card of the lionhearted—and what that means for your journey
🌬 How your mental body shapes your healing process and reframes heartbreak into insight
🌿 A loving reminder that your pain has shaped your wisdom—and now, something new is being born

Kirsten also shares a tender personal story about naming her son and the courage it takes to choose a life that will inevitably break your heart... and still say yes.

You’ll leave this episode feeling seen, softened, and strengthened—ready to hold yourself and others with more compassion, and to recognize that healing doesn’t erase the pain… it transfigures it.

✨ PLUS: Get a sneak peek into what’s unfolding in Mystic Rising, where this month’s theme of Mother energy is holding space for deep nourishment, remembrance, and rebirth.

Let this be your invitation: To feel more, to ground more, and to honor the path your broken-open heart is leading you down.
Tune in now and come sit with us in the sacred tenderness of being fully alive.

This week on It’s Giving Mystical, we sink deep into the swirling waters of May’s potent energies.

How are you feeling, my loves? The Hierophant and Temperance are working their magic, and with them, the profound invitation of the five—the number of change, challenge, and liberation.

The Hierophant, often misunderstood as a rigid gatekeeper, is also the bridge between the sacred and the mundane… and this week, it’s asking:
✨ Are you ready? Truly ready to claim your next chapter?

As we move toward the Scorpio Full Moon, emotions are heightened, and there’s a push-pull between release and rebirth. In this episode, I unpack:

• Why the Hierophant’s Gandalf-like wisdom is calling you to step up, even when it feels hard.

• The deeper meaning of the five in tarot: how creativity, liberation, and discomfort all dance together.

• How the Queen of Cups, our card for the week, asks you to hold your heart tenderly and protect what’s preciousbefore sharing it with the world.

We also explore the archetypal energy of the Great Mother—just in time for Mother’s Day—and widen the lens around what “mothering” truly means: creation, destruction, and everything in between. Whether you're celebrating, grieving, or navigating complex feelings, this episode invites you to honor it all.

💫 This week is about diving into your own depths—finding the treasure that is yours alone—and trusting that your inward journey connects you to something beautifully universal.

Inside Mystic Rising, we are journeying deep with the Mother archetype this month. If you’ve been craving this kind of exploration, the door is always open to join us. 🌹

A love note for your week:
Your instincts are your future self whispering… listen closely, trust boldly. 💌

This week, we’re invited to slow down, soften, and come home to the body. Coming off the Taurus New Moon, Kirsten explores the magic of returning to the senses—those quiet, overlooked portals that reveal what you’re truly craving, longing for, and ready to receive.

We reflect on the six months ahead, building toward the Taurus Full Moon in November:
🕯️ What desires are ready to be named?
🕯️ What is your body hungry for?
🕯️ What’s asking to be nourished, tended, protected?

Alongside the potent energies of Temperance and the Hierophant, this week calls us into a delicate balance between releasing the old and holding the spark of the new. Kirsten shares wisdom on co-creation, protecting emerging dreams, and trusting the quiet alchemy happening beneath the surface.

There’s a special reminder to be gentle with yourself, to resist over-explaining or rushing transformation, and to honor what is stirring within. 🌿

And as we step into May’s exploration of the Mother archetype in Mystic Rising, we’re reminded that mothering isn’t just a role—it’s a sacred energy of tending, nourishing, and holding space for becoming. Whether you’re mothering a child, a creative project, a vision, or your own unfolding self, may you feel held by this archetype as you cultivate what’s most precious and true.

👉🏼 Join us in Mystic Rising as we deepen this exploration of mother energy, and discover how to nurture the next version of you.

Welcome back, wild ones. This week on It’s Giving Mystical, we’re diving deep into the wisdom of the body, the precision of the mind, and the magic of your own creative power.

If you've been feeling like the ground beneath your feet is shifting- equal parts exhilarating and disorienting- you're not alone. In this episode, we explore the vital messages of your nervous system, why dysregulation is good information, and how to honor your body’s truth even when your mind wants to make excuses.

We also meet the Magician — our tarot card for the week — who arrives right on time to remind you that you are the bridge between heaven and earth. You are the creator of your experience. The manifester. The one who gets to choose, to shape, to speak your world into being.

✨ Inside This Episode:

• Why nervous system overwhelm isn’t irrational (and how to decode its wisdom)

• The danger of chasing “arrival” and the power of presence

• The Magician’s medicine: how to focus your energy, align your intentions, and co-create your reality

• A loving call to return to your breath, your body, your clear yes and no

And if this conversation resonates… if you feel the stirring of your next becoming, know that Mystic Rising is here to support that unfolding. In our private circle, we’re deepening into archetypal embodiment, exploring the energies of the Artist, the Mother, the Lover, the Siren, and more- calling home the many facets of your power.

Because you are not meant to live a narrow story.
You are a multitude. A masterpiece in motion.
Let’s rise together.

🔥 This week on It’s Giving Mystical, we’re standing at the edge of a roaring bonfire — fueled by passion, transformation, endings, and raw, radiant power. The numerology of April 18th brings in The Moon card, calling us into the dream realms, the unknown, and the sometimes-blurry edges of truth. But the real heart of this week’s energy? The Nine of Wands — the card of the Wounded Warrior and the sacred fire we’ve walked through to get here.

✨ You’ll feel this episode if:

• You’ve been burning the candle at both ends and need to know what's enough

• You’re sensing a cycle closing, but you're not sure what’s next

• You want to harness your creative, emotional, or energetic fire without burning out

🔥 Fire is powerful medicine. It warms, it illuminates, it purifies — but only when we respect its force. This episode is an invitation to become the keeper of your own flame: to prepare the ground, protect your energy, and know when to feed the fire... and when to let it rest.

🌙 Inside we’ll explore:

• Why intensity isn’t a problem — but mismanagement is

• The final flickers of old patterns that try to spark back to life

• Learning to trust your fire will return — you don’t need to grip so tight

• Creating a “grace space” around your bonfire (metaphor AND real-life vibes)

🪵 You’ve built this fire with intention. Now, tend to it with love, with trust, and with the deep knowing that you are safe, strong, and ready. The spark is yours — no need to chase the flame.

🎧 Tune in and let’s walk the fire together. 🔥

Hi fam, it’s me, Kirsten—and welcome to It’s Giving Mystical, your weekly portal into the energy of the week ahead. This week? It’s big. The Full Moon in Libra, the numerology of 4/11, Venus stationing direct... there’s movement, recalibration, and a powerful closing of a chapter.

We explore:

• The deeper meaning of this Libra Full Moon 🌕

• What the Aries–Libra eclipse cycle revealed (Oct 2023–Apr 2024)

• How to stay grounded as the winds of change rush through

• The World card and the sacred completion it signals

• What remains when everything else is shifting

You may feel endings this week. Some bittersweet, some beautiful. But what stays? What’s looking back at you in the mirror—steady and unchanged—no matter what transforms?

Let’s explore this threshold together.

🎧 Tune in now and anchor into the mystery, the movement, and the medicine of what remains.

This week on It’s Giving Mystical, we dive into the double 4/4 portal — a potent moment of foundation, boundary work, and embodied presence. ⚡

We’re in an Emperor month, and you’re being invited to ask:
🛡 What’s mine to tend?
🌾 Where have I overextended?
🌿 What needs to be mended, fortified, or released?

We’re also working with the Ace of Wands, a fiery spark of passion, creativity, and attraction. But—this isn’t about rushing ahead. It’s about measured movement and co-creation.

Inside the episode:
✨ Why your boundaries are sacred tech
✨ How to manage what’s yours (and release what’s not)
✨ Emperor x Death energy: transformation of the domain
✨ The Ace of Wands: inspiration, desire & divine timing
✨ Serenity prayer medicine for the month of April

This week’s energy asks:
Can you come back to your center, feel what’s real, and take one aligned step at a time?
