Let's Get Wyrd Podcast

In this episode of Let’s Get Wyrd, Betsy sits down with astrologer Preston to explore space weather, planetary transits, Venus retrograde, birth charts, timing, relationships, career decisions, and the cycles we may experience in our lives.

Preston describes “space weather” as an astrological way of looking at what is happening in the sky and considering how those transits interact with an individual’s birth chart.

Then they dive into one of the episode’s biggest topics: Venus retrograde.

Preston discusses Venus as symbolically associated in astrology with themes such as love, beauty, connection, and self-care, and explains why a retrograde is interpreted as a period of revisiting or reevaluating some of those areas.

And yes... they talk about the infamous possibility of an ex coming back.

Is it intuition or is fear, overthinking, and self-sabotage making the decision for you?

In this episode of Let’s Get Wyrd, Betsy sits down with her friend and longtime client Tracy, owner of Intuitive Hair, for a conversation about what can happen when you finally stop running from the uncomfortable parts of yourself.

Tracy shares how her journey began during a period when she was dealing with health concerns and searching for answers. That eventually led her into Betsy’s Root Coaching program and, later, Reiki and shamanic practices.

But one of Tracy’s biggest transformations has been learning to recognize her own patterns.

She opens up about overthinking, rejection, self-sabotage, fear of being “too much,” and the stories her mind creates to convince her not to do something.

Key Moments:

09:38–10:03 — “I've Always Felt Like I'm Too Much”

A vulnerable, relatable clip about rejection and worrying about how others perceive you.

10:03–10:49 — “Healing Isn't One and Done”

Excellent standalone message about continuing to work on yourself instead of expecting one class or experience to “fix” everything.

12:10–12:44 — “Do the Uncomfortable Thing”

Short, highly relatable personal-growth clip.

15:06–16:13 — “I Wasn't Going to Become a Practitioner”

Tracy explains how her direction unexpectedly changed.

18:20–19:49 — “I Didn't Think I Needed Community”

Strong Season 2 theme around finding your people.

24:47–26:09 — “Stop Taking Everything Personally”

Strong mindset/perspective clip.

27:27–27:50 — “This Isn't Happening TO Me”

Short, memorable closing message with good Shorts potential.

What happens when someone who spent years building a successful blue-collar business suddenly finds himself pulled toward an entirely different spiritual path?

In this episode of Let’s Get Wyrd, Betsy introduces Tyler, who shares his personal journey from working long days in heating and cooling to exploring spirituality, shamanic practices, and psilocybin.

Tyler describes the intense curiosity that led him to research psilocybin and discusses how he personally distinguishes recreational experiences from intentional ceremonial experiences.

But the conversation goes beyond the experience itself. Betsy and Tyler discuss intention, preparation, difficult experiences, choosing a facilitator, creating a supportive environment, and what happens afterward.

Tyler also emphasizes the importance of integration—talking through an experience, reflecting on what it meant, and determining how those insights relate to everyday life.

What if your birth chart could help you understand your purpose, relationships, career, natural strengths, and the patterns you keep repeating?

In this episode of Let’s Get Wyrd, Betsy welcomes Misty Moon of Misty Moon Consulting, an astrologer and tarot reader who uses astrology as a tool for self-discovery and empowerment.

Misty shares how she first discovered astrology as a child, why she avoided the calling for years, and what happened when she finally said yes to the work.

Betsy and Misty dive into some of the biggest questions people have about astrology:

-Can your birth chart reveal your life purpose?

-Can astrology show relationship compatibility?

-Can you see past-life connections between two people?

-Can astrology help identify relationship timing?

-What does your Solar Return reveal about the year ahead?

-Can astrology help with career and business decisions?

-What can your chart reveal about generational patterns?

-Do we have free will if there's already a blueprint?

-Why shouldn't astrology become an obsession?

Misty also explains why she sees astrology less as something that controls your future and more as a blueprint for understanding the energy you're working with.

Plus, learn about her Tea & Tarot experience and why a natal chart is the foundation she recommends starting with.

Welcome to Season 2 of Let’s Get Wyrd!

This season, Betsy is shifting the conversation toward community, practitioners, healing modalities, and different approaches people explore on their wellness and spiritual journeys.

To kick things off, Season 1 co-host Dave returns to explain his work with quantum healing and shamanic clearing.

And if the word hypnosis immediately makes you picture someone swinging a watch in front of your face and taking control of your mind… this episode is for you.

Dave walks us through a quantum healing session from beginning to end, including how clients prepare questions, enter a relaxed guided state, experience scenes that may be interpreted as past-life, present-life, or symbolic experiences, and eventually explore questions through what Dave describes as communication with the higher self.

One of the biggest takeaways from this conversation is that Dave sees himself not as someone providing all the answers, but as a witness and guide while the client explores their own experience.

Whether you already explore energy work or you're simply wondering what happens behind the doors of a quantum healing session, come into this conversation curious.

Betsy and Catherine continue their conversation on manifestation by exploring attachment, resistance, intuition, and alignment. They discuss why forcing outcomes creates struggle, how to become a vibrational match to your desires, and why some opportunities simply aren't meant for you.

Key Takeaways

• If something repeatedly falls apart, it may not be a match.
• Focus on what you want—not how it must happen.
• Resistance often signals misalignment.

• Affirmations only work when you genuinely believe them.

Can you really manifest your dream life?

In this powerful episode of Let's Get Wyrd, Betsy welcomes Katherine, founder of Uplifted Coaching, to discuss manifestation, co-creation, the Law of Attraction, Abraham Hicks teachings, and the mindset shifts that helped Katherine manifest a new home, new job, new car, European travel, and a new relationship all within one year.

Together they explore why manifestation isn't about controlling outcomes, but about cultivating confidence, positive expectation, joy, and alignment. They discuss limiting beliefs, personal empowerment, following excitement, recognizing signs from the universe, and why resistance may be redirecting you toward something even better.

If you've ever wondered why your manifestations aren't showing up or how to create a life that feels truly aligned, this conversation is for you.

Why do so many people attend healing workshops, spiritual classes, therapy sessions, or retreats… only to fall right back into the same patterns?

In this episode of Let’s Get Wyrd, Betsy and Dave unpack one of the most important (and overlooked) parts of personal growth: “Integration”

Healing doesn’t happen just because you learned something. It happens when you LIVE it.

This conversation explores why so many people:

• Creating new neural pathways
• Breaking unconscious programming
• Why some people don’t evolve after spiritual work
• Reiki, shamanic training, meditation, and embodiment
• Why observation and community matter in learning
• The danger of seeking healing without integration
• Ketamine, EDMR, and rewiring patterns responsibly

Healing and spiritual work must be integrated into daily life to create lasting change.

02:17 – Healing as a lifestyle, not a one-time event

03:04 – Talking to the car instead of reacting in anger

12:07 – Betsy’s workout story and internal criticism

13:12 – Projection, judgment, and emotional spillover

14:06 – Cleaning up mistakes and taking accountability

15:12 – Why growth means correcting yourself quickly

Are fairies actually real?

In this episode of Let’s Get Wyrd, Betsy and Dave dive into the fascinating world of the Fae, elemental spirits, fairy beings, and land consciousness exploring what these beings are, how they interact with nature, and why respecting the land matters more than most people realize.

This conversation goes WAY beyond fairy tales.

Betsy shares her personal experiences working with the Fae on her land, including:

• seeing elemental beings as lights and energies
• communicating with plant spirits
• asking permission before changing the land
• offerings for the Fae
• fairy circles, moss patches, crystals, and “missing objects”
• how nature responds when you work in harmony with it

They also explore:

• why the Fae aren’t just tied to one element
• how children naturally connect to elemental beings
• why intention and respect matter when entering nature
• how plants, trees, and land hold consciousness
• what happens when land spirits reject human energy
• why some people experience synchronicities, lights, and unexplained phenomena in nature

This episode is playful, magical, grounded, and deeply thought-provoking.

Whether you believe in fairies literally, symbolically, or energetically… this conversation invites you to see nature differently.

In this episode:

• Fairy circles explained
• Offerings the Fae love (yes… popcorn)
• Why shiny objects and crystals matter
• Plant spirits and energetic caretakers
• Urban ways to connect with elemental energy
• Why harming the land affects more than just the environment

How much structure is healthy… and when does it start controlling you?

In this episode of Let’s Get Wyrd, Betsy and Dave dive into the tension between discipline, routines, structure, flexibility, and going with the flow.

This conversation gets real about:

• why some people thrive with structure
• why others feel trapped by it
• how guilt and shame can form around routines
• and how rigid self-discipline may actually disconnect you from intuition and joy

Betsy opens up about her own journey from extreme structure and control into a more fluid, intuitive way of living and why forcing yourself into routines that don’t align can create emotional resistance, burnout, and self-betrayal.

Inside this episode:

• Structure vs rigidity explained
• Why “discipline” can feel emotionally constrictive
• How routines can become unconscious programming
• The hidden guilt behind failed goals and habits
• Why flexibility creates new neural pathways
• The importance of listening to your body and intuition
• Grocery store meltdowns, lollygagging husbands, and real-life flow states
• Why being present matters more than being perfect
• How to balance responsibility with freedom

This episode is honest, funny, relatable, and deeply thought-provoking.

Because maybe growth isn’t about controlling every moment…

Maybe it’s about learning how to trust yourself enough to flow with life.
