Challenges you might encounter within your own Sparkle Quest and suggestions on how to move through them. Questions of identity, the in-between, the “egg” process and glamour magic.

I created a new list of characters to further me on my quest to regain my sparkle.

Themes include

* women doing it their way and trusting their own creative process above all!

* lessons from Doechii

* strong boundaries, and commitment to our own peace

* croissants in the sun, whimsy, seeing the magic in everyday things

* dreams of living in a castle ???

Book rec this episode: Dolly Alderton’s “Good Material”, I loved the audio book and narration!

We’ve all heard stories of bumps in the nights, eerie noises sent through the breeze on a foggy night, and unexplained phenomena most commonly around 3 AM, or between midnight and 3 AM. The witching hour, also known as the devils hour or the chime hour, are names to encompass this timeframe. Is this when the veil between worlds is the thinnest? Or is this when the devil is most likely out to play? Could it even just be our human brains scaring ourselves because of REM sleep? We investigate in this episode of Midnight Soup: The Witching Hour.

Thanks for listening dolls,

Welcome, to the Midnight Soup Podcast.

This is a little bit of everything. A slow-simmering stew of thoughts, ideas, inspirations and lore. A dash of nostalgia, a pinch of weirdness, a sprig of something unexpected. It’s a space to share what’s been lighting me up, what I’ve been pondering, and what might inspire both of us. It’s for the romantics, the artists, the multi passionate and multidimensional dreamers. We’ll talk about everything from folklore to the occult, life chats to lessons I’ve learned (or am still learning), advice I’ve given or received, and the strange, beautiful, messy art of being human. It’s for those who crave depth, a bit of magic, and the occasional existential crisis all simmered together in a nice, hot bowl of soup.

This is a sort of extension of my Midnight Soup Newsletter.

So, grab a hot beverage, settle in. Soup’s on.
