What stops us form creating the communities we crave?

In this episode, we are unraveling why so many of us long for authentic community- but struggle to build it. We're talking nervous system regulation, the aganol breaths of a dying world order, the idden dynamis that keep us isolated, and why the revolution just might be led by emotionally regulated, interconnected and supported, witches.

Stick around for journaling prompts at the end.

If you want to hangout IN PERSON- I have just launched my LAMMAS WITCHES RETREAT. August 1-3, 2025 in NEW YORK STATE! First 4 women to sign up get early bird pricing!

April Ajoy is a content creator and podcast host who uses humor to shine a light on harmful, toxic, and sometimes just weird traits of American Evangelicalism. After growing up an evangelist’s kid entrenched in Christian Nationalism and working in conservative Christian media, she saw the harm caused firsthand. Still a Christian, she uses her platform to expose the dangers of Christian Nationalism while promoting a more inclusive faith. April has been featured on Buzzfeed, CNN, Newsweek and more. She’s been married to Beecher for 10 years and they have two daughters together.

Enjoy this illuminating and hope-giving conversation with April Ajoy! Recorded in November 2024.

Welcome to a Living Room CHAT! I am happy you're here.

Pull up a chair and grab yourself a hot toddy. Today we are answering two important witchy questions:

1. how does one BECOME A WITCH?

2. What is the difference between a routine and a ritual? Should I pay more attention to one over the other?

And bonus: some thoughts on leaning into structure as a person who despises it. (Capricorn season anyone?)

I am happy you are here! Please consider leaving 5 stars and a review <3

Join me in welcoming David Hayward to the podcast!

David Hayward is a pastor turned artist who paints, draws, and reflects on what it takes to be free to be yourself. You have probably seen him on Instagram under his Instagram handle, “The Naked Pastor”. 

And in case you’re wondering, he’s not actually naked. The idea behind the name, NakedPastor, is to tell the naked truth—no matter how vulnerable it feels. Once a pastor, he’s been creating art and working toward freedom alongside this community for over 10 years. 

David joined me from his home in New Brunswick, Canada via zoom to record this conversation.
