Psyche Magic

On this episode, Ben Glover educates me about the world of Hypnotherapy, which is all about connecting to the subconscious to facilitate change on a deeper level. When working with his clients to help with things like smoking cessation, anxiety, and addressing creative blocks, Ben often engages the language of symbol as a means of communicating with the subconscious mind. We discuss lucidity and receiving guidance in dreams, as well as Ben’s personal history and formal training in meditation practices that foster a sense of peace and inner connection. I also do an intro about the synchronicity of our recent visit to Ben’s homeland: Northern Ireland. Enjoy!

On this episode, I interview freelance illustrator, designer, podcaster, and fellow Jungian enthusiast Allison Filice about her experiences with hypnagogic (or, "in-between") dream states, and how her subconscious mind directly inspires her art on a daily basis. Allison and I share a mutual enthusiasm for the intersection of spirituality, the healing arts, and creativity which is reflected throughout our conversation. We pull cards from her fabulous candy-colored Oracle deck, The Journey, which deftly combines imagery from both our inner and outer worlds to facilitate profound insights. I also do an intro about surrealist artists such as Salvador Dalí using hypnagogic dream work techniques to inspire their incredible creations. Synchronicities abound and we have a blast - hope you love it too!

Just in time for spooky season, on this episode I interview the fabulous Elena Box, Shamanic Death Doula and Comédienne, about learning to form a relationship to death and dying as an integral part of the life cycle. We discuss strategies and practices for managing and working with grief in its many forms and phases, as well as a powerful visitation dream from Elena’s dad after his passing. Our discussion is held with a spirit of levity and laughter, holding space for the joy that exists alongside the sorrow. I hope it is helpful to you!

CW: brief (not detailed) discussion of both pregnancy loss and loss of a parent periodically throughout the episode

On our Season 2 Finale, I interview an extra special guest - Michael Mayo! Michael is an Evidential Psychic Medium, Co-Founder of The Oakbridge Institute - a Center for Mediumistic and Psychical Studies, and author of the new book Spirit Speaks - A Step by Step and Evidence-Based Approach to Genuine Spirit Communication. 

Michael and I discuss an early dream he had foreshadowing his work as a Medium and, later, as a teacher of Mediumship Development. We touch on visitation dreams from loved ones who have passed away, dispelling fear of the spirit world, and insights about each of our own paths of spirituality. We also explore his book as a manual for those who are interested in developing their own means of spiritual communication. I do an intro where I tell a brief version of my own story that lead me to discovering and wanting to learn about mediumship as well. It's such a lovely conversation about a subject that's near and dear to my heart, and I hope you enjoy it! 

TW: brief mention of suicide at 6:54; 8:10; 9:04

On this much-anticipated episode, I interview Myisha Battle, Clinical Sexologist and Sex and Dating Coach, about the fascinating world of sex dreams! We experiment with treating sex and the sexualized figures that may appear in our dreams symbolically, and tie this in with her work in sex-positivity and education. We also discuss her excellent new book - This is Supposed to Be Fun: How to Find Joy in Hooking Up, Settling Down, and Everything in Between. Hope it tickles your fancy!

TW/CW: From approximately 40:24 - 45:40 we discuss the sensitive subject of sex dreams that can look and feel “incestuous” at first glance and unpack some of these symbols

On this uplifting episode, I interview Alyse Dusseault (@intuitively_alyse) - Grief Coach, Reiki Practitioner, and Intuitive, about her firsthand knowledge of deep grief as it informs her skilled and compassionate work. This involves empowering those who are grieving to cultivate creative and spiritual means of continuing their relationship with their loved ones, rather than adhering to the persistent and damaging societal narrative of “moving on.” She shares a powerful dream that introduced her to one of her spirit guides, and pointed her to deep healing work within multiple layers of her life and experiences. We also touch on Mediumship and working with “the clairs,” the various facets of our intuition or “sixth sense” that anyone can cultivate, and I do an intro expanding on these ideas a bit further.

On this episode I get witchy and chaotic with Lu, Founder and Executive Director of Housecraft Productions (@housecraftofficial). We discuss her craft, passed down through her matrilineal line, and their shared gift of precognitive dreams. She shares a powerful example of one such dream regarding a major turning point in her life, and this sense of contemplation and preparation that can come within these synchronistic moments. We also discuss her advocacy work and various creative endeavors as a celebration of her authenticity and purpose. I also do an intro with a Jungian take on precognitive dreams, sharing further research and ideas on this mysterious and magical subject.

TW: brief mention of Sexual Assault/Domestic Violence as the subject of some of Lu's advocacy work (45:26 - 47:12)
