Grief doesn’t ask to be rushed—and it doesn’t cancel out joy.

In this episode of the Woo Curious Podcast, Eileen sits down with Yarrow Magdalena, grief companion and host of Grief Magic, for a gentle, honest conversation about loss, ritual, and what it means to live alongside grief in a culture that struggles to hold it.

Together they explore grief as sacred, the importance of grief literacy, how creativity and textiles can support mourning, and why connecting with land and seasons can help us feel less alone. This episode is for anyone who has loved, lost, and is learning how to keep their heart open anyway. A soft place to land. 🌑✨

Yarrow Magdalena lives on the East coast of Scotland, facilitates creative projects and gentle rituals for seasons of loss, and makes handmade grief quilts, alongside hosting the Grief Glimmers podcast.

Yarrow is excited to change the culture around grief and to normalize death so that we can explore these experiences as gateways into a softer, more embodied life.

Yarrow also runs a web design studio over at PinkWellStudio.com

but remembering who you are?

In this episode, Eileen sits down with Jenn Forgie, a soul guide, interdisciplinary artist, and mentor, to explore the sacred work of coming home to self.

Together, they reflect on:

• Letting go of perfection and performance

• Reclaiming spirituality rooted in earth and body

• Why dissociation is often a survival response

The Winter Solstice marks the longest night of the year—and the quiet promise that light will return.

In this reflective solo episode, Eileen explores the energetics of Yule and Winter Solstice through the lens of rest, ritual, and remembrance. Rather than focusing on tradition alone, this episode invites you into the deeper wisdom of the dark: the pause, the seed-setting, the stillness that makes rebirth possible.

With a New Moon arriving just days before the Solstice, this season carries powerful initiation energy—an invitation to slow down, reflect on the year behind you, and gently prepare for what’s next.

This is a companion episode for anyone craving meaning over momentum, rest over rushing, and ritual that feels nourishing rather than performative.

🕯Settle in. Light a candle. Let the dark hold you.

What happens when Spirit calls later in life—and refuses to be ignored?

In this soulful conversation, evidential trance medium Barbara Banner shares how her intuitive awakening arrived suddenly during the pandemic, opening a path she never expected.

Barbara is a joyful, no-BS Psychic/Evidential/Trance Medium who brings throughmessages with stunning accuracy, humour and healing. With a deep connection to Spirit (and a few highly comedic and mischievous guides),she shares a unique way ofdelivering evidence, validation, and ways to lighten the grief. Whether connecting loved ones or delivering “Did she just say that?!” moments to clients or on podcasts, she brings her heart, healing, and humour to whoever is guided her way.

Her own story started with flying objects, mysterious orbs, and a push from Spirit in the middle of the pandemic. She had no idea that her 35 years of volunteering for a woman's crisis hotline, the LA Crisis Response Team for LAPD, and the busiest ER in the city had been divinely guided. And that her gifts ran in the family.

Fast forward, She is now a Certified Medium with Helping Parents Heal, Find a Certified Medium with Mark Ireland, and VerySoul. She knows that supporting grieving families with a mix of compassion, startling evidence, and a touch of humour is her purpose in life. She loves it when mental health, Psychic/Mediumship, and the science of how laughter heals can all come together to raise everyone's spirit.

We explore:
• The surprising signs that first drew Barbara into mediumship

• How trust becomes the foundation of every spiritual gift

• Why humor and joy are powerful medicine in grief

• What our loved ones keep (and don’t keep) after they pass

• How Spirit guides us through loss, healing and everyday life

• Why connecting with our own loved ones is often the hardest

• Simple ways to strengthen your intuition and feel your people with you

Barbara’s stories offer evidence, comfort, and a reminder that love never ends—and that Spirit is closer than we think.

In this solo episode, Eileen explores the tender edge between holiday consumerism and intentional spiritual practice. As December begins—our darkest month in the Northern Hemisphere—she reflects on the pressure to buy, do, and rush, even as nature invites us to rest, restore, and return to ourselves.

Eileen shares her thoughts on Black Friday culture, the emotional pull of consumption, and how capitalism subtly shapes our ideas of what we “need” as modern witches. She also speaks to the heart of accessible witchcraft: simple, grounded, powerful practices that don’t require aesthetics, tools, or spending money.

You’ll also hear about Restmas, Eileen’s free 21-day offering for guided rest and ritual support throughout December, including a special invitation to the New Moon Rest Circle inside the Wise Wild Woman Mentorship.

This episode is an invitation to reconnect with your values, slow down, and remember that your magic already lives within you.
