In this episode of The Nature of Invisible Things (TNIT), in honor of Jupiter stationing retrograde, I share one of my favorite tales of transformation and change told through the descent of Inanna, a Sumerian fertility goddess. I offer it as another way of exploring your experience of moving through change and how surrendering the more solar parts of self makes space for the lunar knowing to emerge.
Also, in this episode, I talk about Venus’ cycles, Saturn & Neptune’s ingress into Aries, and the experience of initial midlife transits, Pluto square Pluto and Neptune square Neptune, along with advice for anyone feeling confused.

In episode two of season two, I am joined once more by one of my magical siblings and fave Aquarian Suns, shayde. We met in Britten LaRue’s Vulture Coven in 2023, and both moved through The Magician’s Table this spring.
Join us as we discuss what it feels like to explore the possibility of a different world filled with “radical, love-based humans.” We chat about shayde’s evolution from Word Mage, Beholding, to Wonderchild and what happens when your life becomes a “lucid dream.”
We also discuss the mutability of our astrological axes, building a life on shifting sands, living in constant metamorphosis as magical humans, claiming accountability for our complicity in the circumstances in which we find ourselves, and discovering the authority within. Plus, using all of that to lead others in building the world they want to live in.
shayde shares their POV on Pluto’s ingress back into Capricorn, the archetypal symbolism of deer, and we wax poetic about debilitated Suns and experiencing eclipses in our personal astrology. And so much more!
Welcome back, shayde!
shayde’s bio:
shayde is the creator of Wonderchild, a spirituality brand that centers self-exaltation and revels in the marvel of creative control. shayde speaks the languages of astrology, human design, and tarot, but his professional tool of choice is Wonderchild’s quintessential framework: The Divine Fundamentals. shayde brings a fantastical and lyrical flare, as well as a practical and scrutinizing sensibility to helping others dissolve internal barriers and re-engage with possibility. His presence has been described as “air in neptunian water space,” “pop culture archetype interpreter,” and “for highly creative people who are not afraid of their minds.” shayde is a cis male, proudly queer, with Black American, White Italian, White French, and Native American lineage. You can find him on Instagram @won.der.child.

Welcome, friend, to episode one of Season Two of The Nature of Invisible Things (TNIT)! This season's theme is moving through change, encompassing many different topics. I am thrilled to welcome my friend and fellow astrologer and diviner, Jana Barrett, back to the podcast.
In this episode, we share our experience engaging our emotional flexibility in online and offline spaces to connect with those with different beliefs or viewpoints. We discuss that while curating your online space can be great, it can also be isolating by creating echo chambers that impact our day-to-day offline lives. The content of this episode was inspired by one of Jana’s social posts, which also happened to be something I was contemplating.
We discussed how the tendency to want to ‘win’ in a conversation creates competition rather than mutual understanding. We share some personal experiences experimenting with a more curious and playful approach. Jana also shared some insightful perspectives regarding privilege and how it is a privilege not to engage with folks who believe differently than we do, plus an invitation to look at the motivations behind wanting to close ourselves off.
And, of course, we also meander through some astrology, both personal and collective. We talk about our profection years, retrograde Pluto’s ingress into Capricorn for the last time in our lives, plus a bit about Neptune and projection, and what happens when we give a reading that feels more Uranian, uncomfortable or activating in some way.
Welcome back, Jana!

In episode 30 of The Nature of Invisible Things (TNIT), I wrap up Season One of the podcast by reflecting on my experience since its launch in January 2024, and then I look ahead at the theme of Season Two.
To say this podcast impacted my life would be a massive understatement, so much so that I thought about calling this episode ‘Podcasting as a Spiritual Journey.’ I feel more myself than ever, and my heart is full of gratitude for everyone who guested and tuned in each week.
Because I am in the process of launching my first long-form transformative container, I share more about my dreams for its inaugural cohort in this episode, as well as how this podcast was very much a part of its inception.

In episode 29 of The Nature of Invisible Things (TNIT), I explore the richness of making mistakes and taking the emotional charge out of failure.
This morning, I discovered one of my own in my Virgo New Moon forecast, much to my chagrin. Long story short, I’ve been experimenting with batching my work as it increases, and clearly, my QA process needs another step. 🤓
Tune in as I reflect on my past learning opportunities and how examining them has shaped my future by creating space for change. CW: I went into unplanned territory with this episode, and I touched on my emotional trauma, religious trauma, and abortion. So feel free to skip this one. 😅 I don’t go into any medical details but look back on the mistake of not sharing it with anyone out of shame.

In episode 28 of The Nature of Invisible Things (TNIT), I am joined by holistic practitioner Leah Lubin. We met in 2015 while in New Mexico and recently reconnected as Leah was the recipient of my astrology reading giveaway, celebrating the first anniversary of my newsletter. During our time together, I was reminded of Leah’s beautiful presence and thought you would enjoy spending time with her, too.
Join us as we discuss her path to becoming a hands-on healer, from studying psychology to starting her career as a licensed massage therapist, which ended up being a gateway to practicing acupuncture. Also, in this episode, Leah reflects on the end of a professional working relationship, which was pivotal in aligning her with the next step on her path. We explore the impact of childhood experiences on life as an adult who struggled with feelings of inadequacy and doubt. We also share many Venusian moments of how she finds wonder and beauty in everyday moments and what it is like to court The Star card in the tarot and discover the safety, peace, and joy within herself.
Welcome, Leah!

In episode 27 of The Nature of Invisible Things (TNIT), I am joined by artist, tarot reader, and nonbinary witch Hannah Hunt. I met Hannah through The Magician’s Table this year and received a profound reading from them when it felt like my creative muse was running dry.
Hannah’s story is a beautiful reminder of the wonder and creativity available in the present moment. Growing up as a competitive athlete, we hear how Saturn stationing direct in their progressed birth chart changed their trajectory from future Olympian to one of “bringing more joy and love to their life and the people around them.” We discuss themes of following the heart, resisting urgency, and being gentle to oneself. Hannah also shares how creativity is a channel, the beauty in revisiting past work with fresh eyes, and how “making something is always worth it.”
Additionally, Hannah advises on claiming one's identity as an artist, the liberation of quitting and listening to one's body’s intelligence. You’ll also hear Hannah’s wisdom around themes of regret, limiting beliefs, and escaping black-and-white thinking. As a bonus, you’ll hear occasional doggy snores and about our shared enjoyment of reality TV.
Welcome, Hannah!
Hannah’s Bio:
Hannah Hunt (they/she) is a nonbinary human from Greenville, SC, who currently resides in Portland, OR, with their spouse and family of rescue animals. Art has been Hannah's lifelong healer and what keeps them anchored here on Earth. Hannah's illustrations are artifacts from their underworld journeys of living with dynamic disabilities and exploring the depths of her shadows and mystical life. Since the pandemic, tarot, astrology, and witchcraft have become the devotional practices that support Hannah's well-being and are woven into their art and creative expression. Other than their inner child and spirit guides, Hannah's primary magical teachers are Britten LaRue, Lindsay Mack, and Amanda Yates Garcia.

In episode 26 of The Nature of Invisible Things (TNIT), I am pleased to welcome esthetician Yoo Seon V. Hwang, who has been so helpful on my health journey. Sometimes, we find the help we need in unexpected places, and for me, that was lying on a treatment table in SE Portland in Yoo Seon’s very capable hands.
Originally from Korea, she started Yoo Be Skincare after almost 20 years as a fabrication artist working in stop-motion animation in Los Angeles. In this episode, Yoo Seon shares her story of growing up in Korea and her journey to becoming passionate about skincare and taking care of folks. We also talked about the challenges of changing careers and starting her own business and the identity shifts that came along with that.
Yoo Seon’s origin story is one of having faith and finding confidence in herself, which ultimately allows her to continually choose to do what she loves and enjoys. Tune in to hear how small steps lead to something greater, the value of forming good skincare habits, the importance of mineral SPF, and the technology behind glass skin.
Welcome, Yoo Seon!
Yoo Seon’s Bio:
Yoo Seon Veronica Hwang is a Korean skincare expert. She is a licensed esthetician in Oregon and California and trained in Korea. She is ready to take on any challenges and concerns regarding your biggest organ - your skin!
Yoo Seon was born and raised in South Korea, where she learned many Korean self-care practices and rites. It started with a Korean spa with the family, then graduated to daily multi-step skincare by the time she was 13 years old. Going to the spa in Korea is still one of her fondest childhood memories. It was where she felt at ease the most.
She also struggled with skin inflammation, acne, and chronic autoimmune skin disease. Understanding her own skin and health has been a lifelong lesson. This struggle kick-started her interest in skin health, and today, it is her joy to share her culture and expertise with everyone through Yoo Be Korean skincare and wellness.

In the 24th episode of The Nature of Invisible Things (TNIT) podcast, I am joined by Caroline Durlacher, whom I met at The Magician’s Table this year. Tune in to hear us talk about her online business aimed at creating a new reality. Caroline’s current work is based on her Embodied Knowledge Practice approach, developed during her Ph.D. program at UC Berkeley. Initially disappointed that higher education as structured today wasn’t suitable for her divergent way of being, she was inspired to build something different. Now, Caroline is invested in creating and exploring adaptable business structures that work for a wide range of wants, needs, and desires. Rather than simply sharing established business models that work, she explains the reasons behind certain practices and provides a space for integrating and experimenting with these systems in her business incubator. Caroline is passionate about creating a sense of safety within the emerging creative landscape and she also shares how her childhood obsession with Neopets foreshadowed her current work.
Welcome, Caroline!
