Kat and Moose Podcast

Can angels really intervene in our lives, or do they need an invitation? We explore this intriguing question inspired by a listener’s trance channeling experience. Alongside personal anecdotes of miraculous encounters, we reflect on the gentle presence of the Holy Spirit and the possibility of inviting angels into therapeutic spaces like massage or Reiki. This episode is woven with humor, wonder, and gratitude, especially for a listener who shared their delightful peach blueberry cobbler recipe, reinforcing the community spirit that defines our podcast.

Navigating the tension between comfort zones and authenticity can be challenging, especially when personal boundaries are at stake. Moose shares a revealing story from a church session that sparked a deeper conversation about the courage needed to assert personal boundaries and maintain one’s authenticity. Through stories of personal growth and self-care, we discuss the balance between wanting to make others comfortable and the need to prioritize our own boundaries, even if it means shaking up the status quo.

We also journey through the playful world of self-discovery tools like Human Design, comparing them to the familiar realms of astrology and personality tests. Sharing our personal experiences, we highlight the importance of letting go of societal pressures and embracing what truly brings us peace, even if it means redefining our dreams. From reminiscing about '90s Christian music to discussing the symbolic significance of feathers and guardian angels, our conversation is a tapestry of introspection, humor, and the quest for authentic living. Tune in for an episode filled with nostalgia, spiritual musings, and a celebration of the unexpected paths that lead us closer to our true selves.

Have you seen the viral videos where baristas hand a coffee to a customer and their finger is in the cup? Then the customer basically asks to link the finger of the barista? It's meant to be funny, but we dive into the question: Would you rather be the licker or the lickee? Join us as we react to the eyebrow-raising viral video from Spring Garden Bakery and debate its authenticity.  We have differing takes. What’s yours?
