  • 003: Turning the Jewel

    Episode 003 explores astrology as a language of self-understanding. We reflect on cycles, contradictions, and the slow work of becoming: how the same symbols reveal new truths as we turn the jewel of the natal chart over a lifetime.

    Transcript available on our website.

  • 002: The Sun Always Finds a Way

    In Episode 002 we turn toward the Sun and its symbolism: purpose, vitality and the stories we tell about who we are. It’s a gentle wander through light and shadow, and the ways in which the Sun still illuminates our path even if it's a dark and winding one.

      • Buying a house & death of a neighbour
        So we recently bought our first house are excited to finally be home owners. We talk renovation plans, things that have been unexpected so far and what it's felt like finally breaking into the property market. Then the conversation takes an unexpected turn when James jumps into story-time about how he recently had to do CPR on a neighbour who had died.

      • How we think we’d go in a Zombie Apocalypse
        We chat all about how well we think we’d do if the world ended and suddenly we had to fare for our lives as hunter-gatherers. We talk about brain vs brawn, why the world could never go fully online, and how each of us would survive fighting zombies for our lives.

      • I think I broke my penis..
        We’re back (again) and jumping in for an unfiltered chat about our sex life. Chatting all about our sex cycles in our relationship and how getting out of sync meant James wanked so much that his “sex juices” ran out. Also touching on how horny Tay feels at different stages of her cycle, why what we thought James’ “man period” was actually Bipolar, our sex fantasies and what we dirty talk about.

      • Our “glow up” plans + how we keep a positive mindset
        Something we’ve recently realised is that there’s a few things mindset and habit wise we’d let slip a little over the last year and a half with so much of that time in lockdown. We both felt like it was time to set some some goals to “glow up” over the next six months, so we discussed each of our plans and what we’re changing. We also share our tips for keeping a positive mindset when things go wrong, and how focusing on the little things you can control, is what gets you through when things aren’t going to plan.

      • Does age really matter, and do you get wiser as you get older?
        We recorded a little birthday treat, on the eve of James’ 35th birthday. As he gets another year older (and in his words, wiser) we discuss what we’ve learnt over time, whether wisdom comes with age, how we’ve each changed in the last ten years, and whether we think age really matters or not. We also discuss our thoughts on mid-life crises, how you have the power to change your life, and James’ life-long goal to be a grumpy old grandpa. Happy birthday to the bear!
