Grief is one of the few universal human experiences, and yet many of us are taught to carry it quietly and alone.

In Episode 75 of Two Crones and a Microphone, we welcome back grief educator and spiritual teacher Charlotte Starfire for a deeply honest conversation about loss, healing, ritual, and transformation.

Charlotte shares the story behind her upcoming chakra-based grief deck, Grief and Grace Through the Chakras, and reflects on what it means to move through grief with support, community, and compassion instead of silence.

We discuss:
• grief as a natural part of life
• why modern culture struggles to talk about death
• healing through ritual and energy work
• support for parents grieving children
• the role of ancestors, community, and spiritual practice
• finding beauty and “glimmers” even in difficult times

This is a thoughtful, tender conversation for anyone navigating loss or supporting someone who is.

What does courage actually look like?

Not just heroic moments. Sometimes courage is:
• getting out of bed after loss
• walking into a room where you know no one
• rebuilding your life after divorce or grief
• retiring and asking, “Who am I now?”
• taking one small step forward while afraid

In Episode 74 of Two Crones and a Microphone, we talk about courage as “the heart of the matter” — and how intuition, community, and purpose help us move through change.

We’d love to hear your stories, too.

Your intuition isn’t something you have to earn—it’s something you remember.

In this episode, we talk about how intuition shows up in everyday life, why many of us were taught to ignore it, and how to begin building a simple, grounded practice to reconnect with your inner knowing.

Start small. Sit in silence. Listen to your body. Write things down. Then do something radical—trust what you hear.

This is not about magic. It’s about attention.

Grief is everywhere. We just don’t talk about it.

In this episode, we sit down with Charlotte Starfire to explore what it means to live after loss—especially the kind of loss no one prepares you for.

What actually helps someone in grief?
 It’s simpler than most people think.

“The best thing you can do is let someone talk about the person they love.”

Simple. Difficult. Essential.

Episode 70 is a continuation of our conversation on acts of kindness, but we go deeper: what is kindness, really, and how do you practice it without getting rolled over? We talk about everyday kindnesses, being kinder to yourself, setting clear boundaries with toxic behavior, and why community helps you keep the practice going when the world feels loud, mean, or just plain exhausting.

Listen wherever you get your podcasts, and tell us: what’s one small act of kindness you did this week?

In this episode, Sally and Betty reflect on the people who shaped them—teachers, friends, family, and loved ones who have crossed over. They share simple practices for honoring those relationships through gratitude, ritual, and everyday kindness, even in difficult times.

The conversation also returns to a grounding practice often shared by Linda: when something can’t be resolved, place it in the basket of love and light and let it rest there.

A steady reminder that love, compassion, and connection are practices we carry forward.

Part One of a Two-Part Interview with Author Ariel Sarullo

A small town never forgets.
It just waits.

In Podcast 66, Part One of our two-part conversation with author Ariel Sarullo, we explore her debut novel The Wild Rose Alliance—a quiet mystery about late coming-of-age, inherited stories, and the long shadow the past casts over the present.

This episode is about:

• Small towns and buried truth
• Becoming an adult later than expected
• Writing a first novel
• Why growing up isn’t a single event

If you’ve ever felt out of sync with the timeline you were handed, this conversation will feel familiar.
