The Violet Vulture

Welcome to The Violet Vulture! 

In this episode, as part of my gritty growth series, we're unraveling and recontextualizing something that we talk about a lot but many of us tend to get fundamentally wrong. Accountability is something we all know we have or are beholden to, but a huge part of growth is getting clear on whether you are engaging in accountability discourse or...if you're asking for something else entirely. 

Are you looking for accountability, or are you out for blood? Are you looking for folks to be answerable and for concrete change, or are you being consumed by something formidable within you that you have yet to contend with (or both because porque no los dos)? 

If you have been stumped about how to approach discussions that just can't be put off any longer and you want to do so in a mindful, mutually supportive way, this one is for you.

Welcome to The Violet Vulture! In this episode, as part of my gritty growth series, I’ve got a super special guest who went from having one central business to evolving and adapting them into three separate but interrelated entities. Think Marvel Cinematic Universe but more attitude, decolonizing, cafecito, and culture. Esperanza Salgado (she/her) is an artist, writer, musician, coffee mastermind, business wiz, basically a badass, prolific creator. 

Esperanza gets real with us about the complex truth about being a multi-passionate, multi-hyphenate with a strong sense of self and vision. She truly embodies gritty growth by being committed to making tough choices, reimagining her ideas in real time when she realizes that things just aren't working, and refusing to play small to appease other people. 

If you need a spark of inspiration (or two) because you feel like things just aren't working but you're not sure if it's the right time to pivot, this one is for you.

Welcome to The Violet Vulture! In this episode, I spend a little time updating y'all on my little summer hiatus and how life can imitate art (or in my case, how my life imitated a classic horror movie). It then leads right into Part I of what I'm calling the Gritty Growth Series wherein we explore some boundaries 101 together. We get into what they are, types of boundaries and where we could employ them, how we might go about doing so in our own lives, and challenging the discomfort of saying what we need in order to keep ourselves safe (because sometimes what feels like the nuclear option in boundary-setting might be just what the doctor ordered).

If you've been wondering how you might go about having better boundaries as we enter the more introspective time of year, this one is for you.

Set Boundaries, Find Peace.

Welcome to The Violet Vulture! In this episode, we have a super special guest on the podcast, Naseem Jamnia (they/them). Naseem is a Persian, queer, nonbinary, writer, neuroscientist, baker, and nerd. Peppered throughout, we explore themes, topics, and inspirations surrounding Naseem's debut novella, The Bruising of Qilwa (now available wherever you buy your books!). We spend some time unpacking the beast that can be the MFA writer's workshop and spend some time dreaming of what a better world for QTBIPOC writers could look like. We also dig a bit into the decision to leave science and pursue writing full-time and how doing so honored Naseem's shadow in so many gorgeous, gorgeous ways. 

I've known Naseem for quite some time, so there's also plenty of riffing as only old friends can do, so stay tuned.

If talk of crushing outdated systems and blood magic gets you fired up, this one is for you.

Welcome to The Violet Vulture! In this episode, I spend a little time unpacking what it means to embrace a villain era. While it can be alienating in some ways, it's so much more liberating and life-affirming than you could imagine. We cover everything from what it looks like, how we got here, what isn't a villain era, and how you might go about embracing your own delicious villain era. 

If you've been wondering if you need to ditch the people-pleasing and draw some gorgeous, gorgeous boundaries while wearing a fly all-black outfit, this one is for you.

Welcome to the first full episode of The Violet Vulture! In this episode, I dive into the symbolism of The Fool in Tarot. We also get into just how complicated the Hero's Journey can be as well as the dark sides of being a hero (it ain't all roses and glory). 

If you've got that uneasy feeling like you're on the precipice of something new, and sometimes resenting the shadowy parts of this #maincharacterenergy, this one is for you. Let's see if we can work in some breathing room and self-compassion whilst on this trip into the unknown, shall we?

Welcome to the fifth mini-sode of The Violet Vulture! In this bite-size teaser episode, I dive into my deep, long-lasting appreciation for archetypes and all they have to teach us in our spiritual journeys, creative tracks, careers, and the many curveballs life throws our way. 

The list as to why they've lasted so long would BE so long. But I whittled it down to what hits home the most for me as someone who has used them to grow as a witch, storyteller, and person. 

If you're feeling a disconnect between who you are and who you want to be, this one is for you. Let's see if we can reveal what's been buried all along.

Welcome to the fourth mini-sode of The Violet Vulture! In this bite-size teaser episode, we switch gears a little bit with this guided meditation that is centered around the core aspects of the New Moon in Gemini (05/30/2022). 

You can expect visualization, breathwork instruction, crystal singing bowl accompaniment, and reflection questions to get you through this lunation (and beyond). After all, taking a moment to check in with your Self and connecting with your breath is a constant, regardless of where the moon is. 

No matter when or where you're tuning in from, here's to cultivating curiosity and celebrating the walking paradox Gemini lives for embodying.

Welcome to the third mini-sode of The Violet Vulture! In this bite-size teaser episode, I dive into my love of horror, learning to embrace my darkness, and how you might benefit from letting yourself be scared (even if only for a little while). 

Even if you're not a spooky convert by the end of this, I hope your one takeaway is to let yourself love things as wholeheartedly as you can.
