Musings with Mary

We have our very first guest of the show in today's episode: my best friend & partner of 14 years! I bring Dante into the mix as we answer our first round of questions about sex & relationships. We talk about the ethics of porn consumption, how me being a sex worker affects our relationship, how to navigate differences in sex drives with your partner(s), and plenty more! Hope you enjoy this little peek into our intimate life together. Dante will be a regular guest on the show- so make sure to send in more sex & relationship questions if you'd like to hear our takes!

This is not normal! If you're feeling a little crazy like me these days in February 2025, this one goes out to you. You're not alone. Don't forget to take breaks in your consumption of the news- but stay informed and do what you can in your community to make a difference! You CAN make a difference. We can ALL make a difference. And our joy factors in to our resistance, too. Never forget that.

A mini musing for this week! An audio clip from a tiktok video I posted recently on the importance of encouraging open mindedness and changes of heart. 

The podcast will be operating on a 4 weeks on, 1 week off schedule moving forward, this is my "off" week- next week I'll be back with a full episode! Take care.

In the wise words of Uncle Iroh, remember: "In the darkest times, hope is something you give yourself. That is the meaning of inner strength." In this mini episode we focus on the Tarot card of the year: The Hermit. I give my thoughts on what the Hermit is here to teach us in the year of 2025. We talk about what true enlightenment means- asking ourselves: what is the worth of our inner wisdom if we do not share it with the world? This episode serves as a prelude for this month's guided meditation with The Hermit, available in the Patreon.

Have you ever stopped yourself from pursuing a creative project before you could even begin? Maybe you've had your heart set on learning an instrument or getting better at another creative skill- but a critical voice inside you keeps you from trying. In this episode we talk about the stress-relieving power of creativity and how to start letting go of your inner judgment in order to claim your human right to be creative. 

"The Artist's Way" by Julia Cameron is my inspiration for many of the topics we discuss. I highly recommend you check it out!

In this episode, we start by talking about New Year's Resolutions- are they good, or bad? I speak on the importance of finding joy in our lives despite the darkness of the world around us. I'm here to light a revolutionary fire of resistance underneath you, igniting your desire to thrive in spite of those that would seek to silence us. Time to take 2025 by the horns and ride it down the path towards a better future.

For our first Q&A session, I thought I would share a bit about myself! We cover my journey as a musician, how I got in to online sex work, my 14 year long relationship & my spirituality as a pagan witch! Whether you have no idea who I am and randomly found this podcast, or if you've been follow me for a while, I hope that this episode gives you a bit more insight into me as a person.

Join me for a relaxing winter meditation centered around practicing gratitude. ❤️
 The idea for this mystical meditation came through to me a few nights ago... and I knew I had to bring it into existence! Part of this guided meditation is inspired by one of my favorite scenes from Howl's Moving Castle. 💫It is best listened to through headphones. 🎧✨ Enjoy the quiet sounds of winter as I guide you into mindful stillness. 

Let me know if you enjoyed listening! You can access this meditation as well as any future ones I create over on my Patreon. Blessed yule. 🎄
