In one of my favorite episodes to date, real-life witch and (fellow) proud Appalachian Kasey Carroll and I discuss the intricacies and intersectionality of Appalachian culture, the way witchcraft has been passed down through the generations, and the magic of our hills. Kasey is a business owner, a lifetime Eastern Kentuckian, and a tiktok babe. We love the multi-facets. Give this episode a listen to educate yourself on EKY, and to get yourself in a silly spooky mood. ;) follow us:@ivebeenthinkingpodhttps://www.ivebeenthinkingpod.com/blogfollow Kasey on tiktok (the rest of her links will be on the blog!):@deviantdahliacheck the patreon for extra episodes!

This episode with Chris Johnson from Passion Pod is wild- so we talk about his podcast of course, and how CRAZY it has gotten. Like Chris is a RISING STAR!!! Y'all need to check it out. But, we also talk about him travelling to Croatia during the pandemic, what that was like and why he chose to do it, we talk about GETTING COVID while in a foreign country, and about meeting random people and how some things are just meant to be. Networking is wild, y'all, and it's so much different than we think of it. Plus, you ever think about how small the world is? Because we certainly do. Hope you love this! ilyP.S. if you listened to his episode with Blake Johnson, here's the story of how they first met!! follow Chris:@passionpodfollow us:@ivebeenthinkingpodtoday's mentions and resources:ivebeenthinkingpod.com/blog Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/ivebeenthinkingpod) Learn more about your ad choices.

On this episode, influencer/badass/dancing queen COURTNEY HILL joins us to discuss age-gap relationships, advice she would give to anyone thinking about getting into a relationship with an older partner, and how important mental health and therapy were for her to be able to be in a successful relationship. PLUS we theorize about why there's a negative taboo around it, especially for *certain* people. I love this episode and it made ME think in new ways- so hopefully it will do the same for you!follow Courtney:@ccourtneyhillshop her store: babypinkshop.comfollow us:@ivebeenthinkingpodwww.ivebeenthinkingpod.com Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/ivebeenthinkingpod) Learn more about your ad choices.

On this sacred weekend, we remember those we lost 20 years ago in the September 11th terrorist attacks. I wanted to discuss something related, but ideally not something that would make me cry- so I give you, how 9/11 affected country music. Also, my thoughts on what's wrong with country music. The two are related. PS, no this is not just made up in my [email protected] Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/ivebeenthinkingpod) Learn more about your ad choices.

I called this one "interview with an author" because it makes me giggle. Like Interview with a Vampire? Get it? ANYWAY, this month is getting a lil mix up, and instead of featuring a book I decided to invite Kaitlyn on to tell you all about her journey to becoming an author, the specifics of the publishing industry, and the work that goes into finding the courage to call yourself an author. Plus, so so so much more. This was a really interesting, informational episode and I hope y'all enjoy- if you've ever had a question about writing books or publishing your own writing, hopefully this answers it. :) P.S.
