In honor of LGBT Pride Month, we talked to transgender and human health rights advocate Ericka Florenciani. This feminista breaks down her advocacy work with PrEP, a daily HIV-preventative tool. All in the name of the helping promote health towards love. And, of course, she's an empowered bruja, who talks about how she uses tarot cards and astrology to express herself and connect with the spiritual world.

Priscilla Klock is a fellow bruja, podcaster of Feminine and founder of Modern Curandera. She dives into how she had to assimilate because her ethnicity was looked down on and how through that pain she birthed the Modern Curandera - a safe place that unites the modern and ancient cultures of her heritage all while helping bruja entrepreneurs get their businesses off the ground. Listen as we get into what all this meant for a fellow Latina and what this means for modern brujas today.

On our journeys to self-love, we've both come across a sort of darkness that at first made us uncomfortable. But we learned that in order to truly explore, accept and love ourselves we had to acknowledge and embrace the dark parts as well. Psychologists refer to that dark side, or shadow self, as repressed ideas, impulses, weaknesses, desires, and even embarrassing fears. The wild and chaotic side that for many of us are the source of our creative energy. But, remember, shadow cannot exist without light, brujas. Listen as we get into our recurring dark and strange dreams, lucid dreaming, fears, and morbid side of ourselves and how we embraced our dark side in order to see the light.

Cindy’s mom, Yolanda, aka an OG bruja, makes a special appearance in honor of Mother’s Day. She opens up about how she tapped into her intuition more than ever once she immigrated to the U.S., how she came to read cigars, and shares special baños for when you feel super cargarda (heavy). This particular show is mostly in Spanish and Spanglish, so tune in with your mom, abuela or tia. Happy Mother’s Day, brujas!

With high hopes that she would see her first female president, winemaker Meg Murray went with her instincts and started producing Nasty Woman Wines. She was passionate about turning a once used negative turn by a certain president-elect on it's head. And, with that, make sure that 20% of her net profits would go to organizations that help put women in positions of power worldwide. She shares with us how her daughter inspired her, challenges in distribution, and how she tapped into her inner bruja to make this all happen.

Cindy & Nat discuss their biggest fears, when they came about and how they're facing them with courage present day. What are your fears?

Heidi Hackemer is a forced to be reckoned with. You feel it when you meet her and your inner bruja will confirm it the moment she speaks to you. Personally, she's in tuned with her empowered herself. Professionally, she's leading packs of smart and savvy women (and a couple of guys too!) at Wolf & Wilhelmine, a New York based brand shop. Heidi breaks down what "bad ass" means and how it relates to womanhood, her pet wolf, and why she needs to recharge by driving on her Harley in the mountains. Warning: You will be inspired to take over the world after you hear what this passionate, intuitive, unapologetic feminist has to say. A big shout out to the Lower Eastside Girls Club for letting us use their facilities to record this episode. Check out what they're doing and donate if you can.
