Today we've got an action-packed solo episode full of ups and downs and everything in between from yours truly.

In this episode, we'll get into the following and then some:

• I offer a quick and dirty glance at some of the astrology that will impact us until 2025 (so buckle up)

• I give y'all a little peek into the deets of our recent trip to California

• I spill the tea on the celebs we encountered

• There's some astrocartography aka locational astrology 101

• I answer a few questions y'all had about our epic trip (the energetics of places, my reading list, and the scoop on why I won't be visiting the Bay area anytime soon)

• The scoop on what I'm unapologetically quitting and what I'll be focusing on instead

If you're wondering if it might be time to say enough is enough on that thing you keep doing (and are resenting BIG TIME), this one is for you.

The Mirror is my bonus mini-series that acts as a vessel for how I review - and refuse to rate - horror movies. You will find no "1 or 4-star reviews" here because I stand by horror not being something you can whittle down to some uniform scale. Each one is a spooky snowflake that ought to be judged on its own merits. The Mirror will be shorter episodes that will be spoiler-free.

TLDR: Think of The Mirror as a spooky little amuse-bouche for the discerning ghouls.

And for this one, we're leaning fully into the festivities of Pride Month with this campy horror comedy starring a total queer icon. That's right: we're talking about M3GAN (2022). What are the elements? What's the vibe? We get into who I think will dig the movie (you fellow die-hard James Wan fans will find this utterly delightful), a rundown of who should NOT be watching this, and the flavor profile of this socially conscious and peak fabulous film.

Thanks for tunin' in, and see you on the other side.

Today we've got a super special guest on the podcast, Mickey Alice Kwapis (she/her). Mickey is a Chicago-based specimen artist, jewelry maker, stained glass artist and fully owns her weirdo status.

In this episode, we'll get into the following and then some:

• Mickey dug into what kicked off her interest in preservation (hint: it runs in the fam)

• She unpacked her artistic path as a whole and how it's evolved over the years

• We took some time to explore how her work has impacted how she relate to grief and loss

• And in turn, we discussed how it comes up for clients and the boundaries she puts into place to stay in integrity with herself and the folks she serves

• We spent some time getting into what folks still get wrong about taxidermy/preservation (there’s plenty of bad takes and misinformation out there).

All-in-all, what I valued about Mickey in this conversation and in life aside from being a brilliant and thoughtful creator is her perspective on putting oneself out there. Both at the time of recording and even now, I’m holding onto those nuggets she shared and I hope it gives you some that same juice.

If you're keen to get science-y and see how you could stand to be a bit bolder in your life, this one is for you.

Today we've got a super special guest on the podcast, Brigitte (she/her) of Brigitte Marie Energy Design. Speaking with Brigitte was such a breath of fresh air with how she embraces experimentation and intentionality in her own life as well as the folks that work with her.

In this episode, we'll get into the following and then some:

• What inspired her to get into systems, self-care, and systems-as-self-care work

• What a typical session might look like whether it's around building systems in Notion or the energetics of one's physical space

• How her dedication to this work has supported her own neurodiversity

• Embracing being a witch and the importance of trusting the process and one's journey

• The importance of looking critically at your life and surroundings if you're serious about making a change

• How dropping your habits isn't always a bad thing

• How grounding releasing perfectionism and clarifying your own non-negotiables in life can be

• The 30-day bad art challenge: what it was and how it allowed for some vulnerability and community-building

If you're keen to learn about how systems and letting yourself tinker along the way can be transformative to you and your biz's well-being, this one is for you.

It's a solo episode today talking about something I've been putting off discussing for a while now due to fear of shame or backlash: how can I, a devoted Death Doula, find "Death Positive" to be a term that really doesn't do it for me anymore? And, admittedly, I unpack why it might never have been terribly aligned in the first place. 

In this episode, we'll get into the following and then some:

• More background on what got me into being a Death Doula 

• We define Death Positive in a nutshell 

• Where having a term like "death positive" has its strengths

• And, of course, we get into plenty of the limitations and where I think it falls short

• I give y'all some of the deets on my near-death experience

• The importance of scaling your work to your community 

• The value in putting a higher premium on prioritizing connection and community care over having perfect language

• Validation for those that agree and what alternatives might be more lined up with you (and validation if you're a die hard "death positive" stan)

• CN for death talk, medical trauma, mentions of violence and climate crisis

If you're keen to get the hot goss on why I'm not about this popular term as much these days, this one is for you.

Today we've got a super special guest on the podcast, writer and fellow horror enthusiast: Michael Pementel! Michael is a published music journalist and an editorial, interview, and review writer with a passion for video games, heavy metal, and psychological horror. 

In this episode, we'll get into the following and then some:

• Michael’s horror-loving beginnings and his personal criteria for what he considers good horror  

• Mental health and horror (and what this intersection teaches us)

• The value of cultivating media literacy

• We make our case for giving indies films (aka the underdogs) a fairer shot

• The value in prioritizing art that is just for you

• What Michael's core writing focus has been for the past few years, and how fiction has always made him feel at home

• There's many moments full of rapid fire recommendations for horror films, novels, and creators (both mainstream and indie alike)

• How corporate gigs can bring people together and naming burnout

If you're keen to learn more about how we should start talking about horror differently (and whether it's time to use it for your own personal growth), this one is for you.

We get into who I think will dig the movie (shout out to y'all who love seeing awful people be awful on screen), a rundown of who should NOT be watching this, and the flavor profile of this slower-paced, over-the-top experience.

In this one, we've got a super special guest on the podcast, Jess de Haas of Soma Tide! Jess is a Vedic/Sidereal Astrologer, the writer of Cosmic Surfcasts, and a self-avowed Creative and Intuitive Guide.  

In this episode, we'll get into the following and then some:

• What inspired Jess to move away from one career and go all-in on Vedic/Sidereal Astrology

• What's on everyone's minds: the difference between Vedic and Western Astrology

• What Vedic astrology prioritizes over Western and the benefits of that focus, and how you absolutely can be into BOTH

• We get the lowdown on the beef she and I have with some IG astrologers (e.g., she's not about the fear-mongering)

• Some timeline jumping 101 and the importance of going all in on yourself

• Why we shouldn’t fear the void and seek to see possibilities within it

• And the shadow work that Jess has done recently (and what it's uncovered)

If you've been wondering if it's time to turn to the stars and collapse a timeline (or two), this one is for you.

In this episode, we've got a super special guest on the podcast, Merril Doty of Consensual Counseling. Merril is committed to providing sex/relationship counseling, sex education, and other healing services with thoughtfulness, empathy, and candor. 

In this episode, we'll get into the following and then some:

• The series of events that inspired Merril to pursue becoming a sex educator and how her trauma-informed training as a yoga instructor gave her a solid foundation for the work she’s committed to now

• I get very open and honest about something that has even impacted me - and we offer some validation to others who might be going through similar experiences (e.g., it shouldn’t hurt - unless you want it to)

• We get into our gut healing and pelvic floor health journeys and how they intersect with finding a new sense of security in our bodies

• Merril and I offer insight into how to relearn how to trust your body after feeling dysfunctional or encountering a big or little T-trauma

• And then we dive into the Q+ A! We got so many questions, but a major throughline with them is confronting shame, unlearning what was instilled in us as children about desire, and the importance of communication and honesty with oneself and one's partner (or partners!)

If you're overdue for a little sex education refresher, this one is for you.

Welcome to The Violet Vulture! This episode is a little different (in case you haven't noticed). 

The Mirror is my new bonus mini-series that acts as a vessel for how I review (and refuse to rate) horror movies. You will find no "1 or 4-star reviews" here because I stand by horror not being something you can whittle down to some uniform scale. 

Each one is a spooky snowflake that ought to be judged on its own merits.  

The Mirror will be shorter episodes that will be spoiler-free. Think of them as a spooky little amuse-bouche for the discerning ghouls. 

I'll give you just enough to get an idea of what awaits you when you press play on your Smart TV but not so much that it pulls away from your viewing experience. I'll give you a flavor profile and end each episode with who I think would most enjoy this particular film.  

Thanks for tunin' in, and see you on the other side.

In this episode, we've got a super special guest on the podcast, Alexandra Shelly. Alexandra is a Channeler, Voracious Reader, Podcaster, Healer, Mentor, and Guide and is committed to helping others discover their divine self through spiritual connection and practices.

In this episode, we'll get into the following and then some:

• How the rules of mediumship are constantly changing, and why we shouldn’t fear what it means about Spirit and our evolution as cosmic beings.

• Signs that you’re getting downloads from Spirit and the importance of learning what your "tells" are when Spirit might be trying to communicate with you.

• We bring it back to one of our earlier episodes of TVV about scammy readers, and Alexandra offers insight into what to look for in a high-value, ethical medium.

• Alexandra teaches us how to perform a roll call for your spirit guides and angels 101 and the importance of reevaluating your relationship with your spirit team, self, and higher self.

• We get a detailed breakdown of the psychic Clairs and how mediumship has impacted her relationship with death.

• Insight into whether you are ready (like...really, really ready) for what comes with getting readings from a medium and what may help you clarify if you’re looking for a medium for the right reasons.

If you're keen to learn more about improving your relationship with Spirit (and yourself and Self), this one is for you.

In this episode, we've got a super special guest on the podcast, Emily Blackwell. Emily is passionate about unconditional self-love, confronting shame and challenging self-sabotage, and healing with somatics, breathwork, Tantra, and Yoga.

• How travel and yoga were formative in bringing her back to herself and learning how to find balance after moving between extremes

• What inspired her to start offering retreats and what to expect in an inclusive, safely curated retreat experience

• How all of the ebbs and flows of the seasons inspire her care-filled work

• Advice on how to balance honoring your boundaries with pushing mindfully past and through discomfort to welcome transformation

In this solo, reflective piece of work, we're looking back on a year (and then some!) of working on making this podcast a reality. 

In this episode, we'll get into the following and then some:

• How showing up before I'm ready has helped me hone my voice and improve my failure tolerance

• Pushing creativity to new and exciting places when you embrace being prolific and less perfectionistic 

• How podcasting can be lonely (and how I'll try to remedy that in the coming year)

• The realities of being chronically ill and how we surprise ourselves when we reframe what "being consistent" means instead of chasing down norms that don't actually serve us and our true journeys 

If you're down for an insider peak into what the past year has yielded (good and bad and dece alike) and what we may be exploring in 2023, this one is for you.

In this solo, spicy and exploratory episode, we'll build on the concepts for addressing radical wintering and review the three archetypes that might be supportive of you this season.

In this episode, we'll address the following and then some:

• A little reintroduction to what archetypes are. 

• How can archetypes guide reflection and personal growth while protecting your mental and somatic health? 

• We explore the wintry archetypes, how to tell which one you might be based on your current frustrations, and how to embody that archetype. 

• Should you surrender and create more ease? Should you own that you need more heat and need to pull away for a while to make the cold more tolerable? Should you finally commit to stripping the layers of your existence away and actually doing your shadow work this season?

If you're reflecting on how you need to evolve this season and you're wondering if you're the Snowbird, the Hibernator, or the Pack Member (or some combo of two or all of the above), this one is for you.

In this solo, stream-of-conscious-y, conversational episode, we'll lay some groundwork for addressing radical wintering and how it might be supportive of you this season.

In this episode, we'll address the following and then some:

• What does it even mean to winter? 

• Why (and how) is it for me?

• And I offer a different perspective on how winter might not actually be the worst. 

• And I lay down the power of ritual and embracing being present.

• How I reconcile my complicated history with the holiday season with a deep, profound love of winter.

If you're wondering if you should run a self-assessment on how you relate to this time of year (and ultimately yourself), this one is for you.
