    I Dreamt I Was Pregnant + Woke up Depressed...
    Oct 30 2024

    In this episode, we’re diving into the fascinating world of dreams. Ever wondered what exactly dreams are or why we have them? We’ll break down what science says about the purpose of dreams, how they’re connected to different sleep stages, and whether we actually dream every night (spoiler: we do!).

    We’ll also explore the meanings behind some of the most common dream themes, from falling and being chased to those weirdly specific ones like losing your teeth or showing up naked in public. Join us as we unpack these dream mysteries and discuss what they might reveal about our minds and emotions.

    Exploring the Wheel of the Year: A Journey Through Pagan Holidays
    Oct 16 2024

    In this episode, we’re exploring the fascinating world of pagan holidays. From ancient traditions that honor the cycles of nature to the seasonal festivals that celebrate the turning of the year, paganism offers a rich tapestry of beliefs that connect deeply with the earth and its rhythms. We’ll break down some key holidays like Samhain, Yule, and Beltane, and uncover the significance behind lesser-known celebrations like Imbolc and Lupercalia.

    As we walk through the pagan calendar, we’ll explore the rituals, customs, and symbolism tied to each holiday. Whether it's lighting fires for protection, celebrating the return of the sun, or honoring the changing seasons, these festivals offer timeless ways to reflect on balance, renewal, and gratitude.
