Witch Sweat

Mel takes us on a journey through the imagination and the realm of the ancestors, sharing a visualization tool for connecting to the big, fun resource that is your kindreds on the other side of the veil.

Beginners and skeptics welcome!

This is not about talking to dead people in a mediumship kind of way, but more like tippy-tapping on the back screen door of the ~beyond~ and recognizing that we really aren’t ever alone. We have a team of guides that want to play, and we aren’t expected to slog through life all by our lonesome.

It’s really just a matter of what we’re paying attention to…

We alsoooo talk about why you might feel shame, indifference, or avoidance altogether in connecting to the ancestors. Let's get into it!

What a death midwife-performance artist has to say about the habit of palatability. It miiiiight be killing you.

The cultural program of *making other people more comfortable over authenticity* gets parsed out as Melissa and Narinder yuck it up and talk about the role of the sacred clown in society, the shadow side of performing your very likable personality, and what it takes to get thyself free from the program of living small. Buckle up baby, there are tears, there are spicy rebukes, there are confessions! Let's go!

Thank you for listening, we love that you’re here.

🖤

This week we are graced by fitness-pole star-movement legend Marlo Fisken, who is one of the most delightful, goofy, generous humans I know.

We talk about the ways she empowers people to have more creative and unconventional relationships to their body and movement, and her tools for bringing as much play as possible into her world as an aid for doing hard things and disrupting the status quo. This conversation lit me all the way up. Marlo offers much inspiration and many delicious tools. Get into it!
