Think back to the last time you made a wish while blowing out your birthday candles, set an intention to angel numbers, or wrote a poem for a loved one. These moments can be considered a form of casting a spell, and you might deem yourself a modern witch!

They are particularly drawn to creating personalized spells and rituals using intuition and how spellcasting is essentially a form of manifesting. Jenny and Carissa share examples of manifestation mantras they've developed and discuss the power of repetition in reinforcing intentions.

There is an innate human tendency to create these rituals, and Carissa and Jenny are excited to try theirs out with you. Are you ready to embrace your natural magical abilities? 

Topics Covered:

• (3:35) The connection between manifesting and spellcasting
• (5:43) How repetition of a sing-songy poem can strengthen intentions 
• (8:07) Using personalized rituals and manifesting mantras to tune into your intuition

This week, we are talking about one of our favorite topics, Spirit Guides: who and what are they, and how do we connect to them? We explore the ways each of us can connect to specific spirit guides and how they can show up for us whether we’re in need, or want to playfully call them in. They are definitely around! 

While our experiences with spirit guides are different, we found different tools that help find a “sweet spot,” in order to receive signs and messages from the universe — including a fun synchronicity we discover while recording.

Do you have a story to share? DM us on Instagram about your experience. It might just become our next weekly woo-woo…

Topics Covered:

Trigger Warning: Discussion of suicide and baby loss (8:02–9:33; 9:47–11:17; 13:28–13:55)

Why are we so into Past Lives?  This week we are sharing stories we were too afraid to share before: A dark secret Carissa held out on, and a funny possibility that Jenny is from a lost sacred land. As we talk through Carissa’s story, we uncover a theme that has emerged in this life. Once her hypnosis session integrates, it is clear that she has actually taken much more from the regression than we originally believed.  

Though our past life regressions are completely different, there are a lot of takeaways that help us reflect on circumstances we face in this lifetime. 

Do you have a story to share? DM us on Instagram about your experience. It might just become our next weekly woo-woo…
