I can’t believe we are now on episode seven of the podcast! Have you ever wondered about how intentional or magical scent can be? Well, this episode is for you! Mason Hainey, a perfumer, is my guest, and we muse on all things smells. We explore the depth of scent and fragrance — the energetics, the ritual, and how to world build using scent. You can learn about Mason below:

Mason Hainey is a perfumer, designer, and the founder of M.HAINEY, where he creates clean, genderless perfumes inspired by nature and modern design. With a focus on transparency and sustainability, Mason approaches scent as ritual — crafting subtle, dimensional blends that evolve with the wearer.

Happy October! We are now onto the 6th episode of Musings in Transit. This episode is spicy, delicious, and wonderful as I interview Hannah Levy, the creator and editor-in-chief of The Rebis. Hannah is a dear friend and someone I could muse with forever!

Hannah is a writer and editor living in Northern California. She's the editor-in-chief of The Rebis, an annual tarot-themed literary anthology. Each issue brings an international group of artists and writers together to explore a single archetype. Just recently, The Rebis published their fourth anthology on The Devil, exploring themes like power, rebellion, liberation, desire, shadow work, self-authenticity, and so much more. The Rebis is a ritual object—a beautifully designed keepsake that belongs as much on your altar as on your bookshelf. Perfect for tarot practitioners, creatives, and mystics hungry for writing & art that pushes boundaries and dares to go deeper.

Episode 4 has officially dropped! In this episode, I speak with my good friend, Erin Harker. Erin is the founder of Magick Makers and host of Kindred Club, a global online spiritual and wellness community. For over three years, she has been organizing community events for spiritual and witch communities in Durham, NC, from intimate meetups and workshops to seasonal gatherings and markets that draw thousands.

Her work emerged from countless conversations with community members searching for opportunities to connect with other magically-minded folks. Recognizing this deep need for genuine spiritual community, she has dedicated herself to bridging virtual and local connection, believing that online and in-person communities offer unique benefits that complement rather than compete with each other.

It is through this work with her community that she explores sacred hospitality—a tradition spanning cultures and centuries that transforms the simple act of welcome into a powerful tool for community building and social healing. Drawing from global indigenous wisdom and contemporary community organizing, this conversation explores how recognizing the divine in strangers can create the connections our souls are craving. Whether you consider yourself spiritual or secular, you'll discover how hospitality becomes spiritual practice that builds resilience not just for yourself but for your entire community.

You can find Erin through her links below:

* The Magick Makers

* Kindred Club

* Substack

I said I would post these irregularly, but here I am on schedule just one week later! I am sharing another free episode of Musings in Transit, a podcast based on my substack by the same name.

In this second episode, I speak on the importance of the Nodes in astrology, what they are, and give some interpretations of my own for each placement. The idea is to provide a more clear and concise picture of what the nodes represent and what they mean for you. This is just a small taste of a larger story that I am crafting around the nodes in just a few weeks. Happy listening!

Welcome to the first episode of Musings in Transit, the podcast. Every Friday, I will create a space where I (and/or a guest) will muse on astrology, fashion, trends, culture, design, and more. Consider it everything I already do in a little spoken form.

This episode is a little musing and support system for Eclipse Season September 2025. I explore some themes of the season: release, control, surrender, and faith. I bring up previous eclipse cycles, what it means that this is a south node season, while giving a little practical advice on what to do during eclipse season in general!

The hope is to give you space to repattern your thinking on eclipses — removing any fear. Eclipses are often seen as such negative things, but they are doorways and portals, opportunities to walk on a new path. They are cosmic dustpans and brooms, kicking up dust first before helping you clean up any messes.

My desire with this is to create something that can be enlightening, engaging, and fun. Let me know what you thought of this first, inaugural episode. Perhaps even share what you would like to see! I am really excited for the guest episodes to be launched later this month and year!
