  • The Boss B*tch Archetype: The unreleased pilot episode of Pop Mystic

    This episode features a snippet from the unreleased pilot episode of this podcast series. It ended up unreleased because Ayla had a huge reality check about putting her faith in reality tv stars – the main subject of the episode: Bethenny Frankel, completely betrayed Ayla's image of her on the day she was going to release the podcast.

    In the sizzling fifth episode of Pop Mystic, Ayla hits the mic with a fiery 🔥 reflection on the podcast's journey. Originally slated as a series of essays delving into pop culture icons, the show has morphed into a dynamic platform for delving into mysticism.

    Ayla unpacks the "boss bitch" archetype, dissecting Bethany's actions while contrasting them with the vivacious Lisa Vanderpump, whose sass and savvy dominate the scene like a modern-day Domina (reference: Lucy Lawless's character in Spartacus). From accountability to empowerment, Ayla rides the wave of pop culture references from Xena (also played by Lucy Lawless) and female empowerment anthems, urging listeners to embrace their inner warrior princesses bad bitch and speak their truth in the wild world of Pop Mystic.
