Mystics & Broomsticks Podcast

Jen Anderson is back! Well, at least for one episode she is. Tanya and Jen get into a chat about what the role of the mother entails. There's still a noticeable inequity between the role of dad, and the role of mom. There seems to be a lot of assumption about what jobs fall onto mother - whether or not she works outside of the home.

If you've been wishing for guidance from a wise medium, you've found her.

Tammy Toch is an intuitive guide, medium and author that has been practicing her craft long before it was cool. She approaches the mystical with a groundedness that makes the weird seem almost normal. Tammy shares moments like being told she should be in jail, learning she was a medium and how she has navigated some of the heavy moments that comes with the responsibility of sharing from beyond the veil. Don't miss this episode if you are an aspiring medium, practicing medium or just genuinely curious what it's like to have this extra sense.

How many times have you had the very thing you've been asking for placed in front of you only to say no?

If it doesn't come the way we think it should, and even if it does, the ego finds a way to convince you that this isn't it, squashing any hopes of your manifestation coming true. Last year, I almost blocked two amazing things coming into my life and I break down what that looks like for you inside this episode. 

Join us as Melanie shares her personal experience in finding her best friend Rex and truly opening up to receive despite wanting to say no. 

Here are some of the times we had some stuff happen during a yoga class that made us what to shrink inside ourselves and die a little. But hopefully, it'll bring you a giggle. We'll absolutely make a part 2 of this one if you want to send in your own stories! 

This was our attempt to recreate last year's skooky themed content - but we need more time to build up our ghost story repitoir. That said, we did get into some ways you can clear and cleanse your space if you have some unwelcome or undesired guests from another dimensional plane. 

Welcome to Season 6 all! Hard to believe we've stuck it out this far. Thank you for continuing to join us on this journey! We are so excited to integrate some new ideas this year. Let us know what you want to see in this coming season. 

One google search of commonly asked questions about energy work will show you how much fear is promoted keeping you scared to practice or receive energy work. Energy workers can get caught in a cycle of fear by practicing too much protection work - seems weird, right?

Fear is a vibration and if you're practicing protection alllll the time, you're in the vibration of fear - this translates to the Universe that you are not organically protected at all times. 

I love cleansing rituals, don't get me wrong, but even those can turn into a cycle of fear - did you forget to open the window during your smoke clearing? Now all the spirits are stuck and coughing in your house (I kid...). Intention is everything. 

I'll share a little about how I choose to approach protection in my life and energy work as a practitioner of over 10 years (almost 15!)

Being a rescuer is often confused with empath but this dynamic is two sided. Being a rescuer means finding someone to be rescued. This was me (Mel), I'm a recovering rescuer.

In this episode, I use the current reality show - Perfect Match as an incredibly accurate depiction of what a Rescuer and Rescued (victim) relationship looks like and share my own personal struggles with being a Rescuer.  

Not only do I share juicy deets about myself, I also share how I've moved towards allowing myself to be rescued - which is what I was craving all along.

I had originally planned to talk about ALL the ways rescuing shows up but ran out of time, if you'd like to know more about Rescuing, message me on instagram @themelaniedawn or comment below

If you think you're a Rescuer - tune in!

Nicole Sayna is one of my favourite people and biggest joy to watch as she can manifest the sh*t outta anything! Nicole's joining the Mystics + Broomsticks podcast to talk about the real manual labor that goes into manifesting as well as the money wounds that are blocking you from not just money but almost everything in life. Want some inspiration and helpful guidance in achieving your goals, this is the podcast for you!

Prompted by a (hilarious) misdirected DM sent to Melanie by mistake about how naked yoga would NEVER be on the table, I thought it would be worth diving into why someone would do naked yoga and what it means to Tamara who has been teaching it throughout 2024. 

We share our experiences about naked yoga, women's retreats and returning back to comfort in your own skin. 

You can find Tamara, with clothes and maybe without ;) through instagram @omiesyoga108
