About Mediocre Mystic
From the publisher's feed
Hey Y'all! Grace here. If you, like me, have survived fundamentalism, I welcome you to this wholly irreverent space. A sanctuary of sorts for those of us who have broken free from all kinds of…
toxic, high-demand groups.
Often in the process of deconstruction, we find ourselves left with a void held for the casseroles and the cobblers. You know, the dishes dropped off on our doorstep during challenging times as an expression of care and belonging. As we build this community, I look forward to satisfying that longing by writing new recipes together and gathering each episode to break digital bread.
Wrestling with and reveling in our reconstruction, we explore many perspectives, sharing stories from all walks of life - creating functional beauty and discovering practical magic right in the midst of the messy, the muddled, and the mundane. Join us as we unashamedly and unabashedly cherry-pick ancient and modern practices to find out what works best for you and me in our daily lives.
On this podcast, I invite you to reconsider both mediocrity (and the way it makes the world go ‘round) and spirituality (and the way it works in mysterious ways).
To help others find us and let us know what kind of content you enjoy most, please take a moment to subscribe, follow, rate, and review Mediocre Mystic as you tune in on Apple, Spotify, Substack, YouTube, or wherever you find your podcasts.
Mediocre Mystic is proud to partner with a network of interspiritual and aspiritual practitioners as featured contributors. Mindful Maraschino episodes highlight practices from YOU. These collaborations make for a rich feed to explore practices that are doable and miraculously sustainable for you.
