Ep 10 - How to Work With Fairies, Plant Spirits & Elemental Energy

Are fairies actually real? In this episode of Let’s Get Wyrd, Betsy and Dave dive into the fascinating world of the Fae, elemental spirits, fairy beings, and land consciousness exploring what these beings are, how they interact with nature, and why respecting the land matters more than most people realize. This conversation goes WAY beyond fairy tales. Betsy shares her personal experiences working with the Fae on her land, including: * seeing elemental beings as lights and energies * communicating with plant spirits * asking permission before changing the land * offerings for the Fae * fairy circles, moss patches, crystals, and “missing objects” * how nature responds when you work in harmony with it They also explore: * why the Fae aren’t just tied to one element * how children naturally connect to elemental beings * why intention and respect matter when entering nature * how plants, trees, and land hold consciousness * what happens when land spirits reject human energy * why some people experience synchronicities, lights, and unexplained phenomena in nature This episode is playful, magical, grounded, and deeply thought-provoking. Whether you believe in fairies literally, symbolically, or energetically… this conversation invites you to see nature differently. In this episode: * Fairy circles explained * Offerings the Fae love (yes… popcorn) * Why shiny objects and crystals matter * Plant spirits and energetic caretakers * Urban ways to connect with elemental energy * Why harming the land affects more than just the environment And maybe most importantly… This episode is a reminder that humans are not the only consciousness here. 00:00 – Welcome to Let’s Get Wyrd 00:31 – Today’s topic: the Fae explained 01:02 – What are the Fae and elemental beings? 01:54 – Fairies, pixies, and elemental consciousness 03:16 – Seeing the Fae in nature and fairy lights 04:18 – Fairy circles and why you should ask permission 04:47 – Respecting the land and the forest keepers 05:24 – How the Fae communicate energetically 06:07 – Asking permission before changing the land 07:19 – Signs the land spirits don’t like what’s happening 08:26 – How the land transformed after working with the Fae 09:56 – Betsy’s powerful fairy encounter and glowing seed vision 11:23 – Animals returning to the land 12:49 – Plant spirits and energetic caretakers 13:42 – Honey offerings and tree spirits 15:02 – Can you give the Fae TOO much? 16:32 – What the Fae love: sweets, crystals, mirrors & popcorn 17:45 – Missing objects and playful fairy energy 18:49 – Fairy gardens, rose quartz, and mushrooms appearing 19:41 – Plants communicating and asking to move 21:04 – How to connect with the Fae in urban environments 22:23 – Music, offerings, and working with plant energy 23:14 – Building fairy gardens with children 24:28 – Why nature synchronicities matter 25:20 – Stop harming the land without awareness 26:09 – Final thoughts and respecting the Earth If this resonates with you: Like, subscribe, and share this episode with someone who loves nature, spirituality, or the mysterious side of life.

Ep 9 - The Truth About Discipline, Control & Going With the Flow

How much structure is healthy… and when does it start controlling you? In this episode of Let’s Get Wyrd, Betsy and Dave dive into the tension between discipline, routines, structure, flexibility, and going with the flow. This conversation gets real about: * why some people thrive with structure * why others feel trapped by it * how guilt and shame can form around routines * and how rigid self-discipline may actually disconnect you from intuition and joy Betsy opens up about her own journey from extreme structure and control into a more fluid, intuitive way of living and why forcing yourself into routines that don’t align can create emotional resistance, burnout, and self-betrayal. Inside this episode: * Structure vs rigidity explained * Why “discipline” can feel emotionally constrictive * How routines can become unconscious programming * The hidden guilt behind failed goals and habits * Why flexibility creates new neural pathways * The importance of listening to your body and intuition * Grocery store meltdowns, lollygagging husbands, and real-life flow states * Why being present matters more than being perfect * How to balance responsibility with freedom This episode is honest, funny, relatable, and deeply thought-provoking.

Ep 8 - Are You Ignoring Your Intuition? Why Bad Things Happen to Good People (Part 2)

Why do we keep going through the same challenges… even when we know better? In Part 2 of this powerful conversation, Betsy and Dave dives even deeper into why bad things happen to good people, and how intuition, perception, and inner work play a major role in how we experience life.

Ep 7 - Soul Contracts Explained: Why Bad Things Happen to Good People (Part 1)

Why do bad things happen to good people? It’s one of the hardest questions we ask—especially in moments of loss, illness, or tragedy. In this episode of Let’s Get Wyrd, Betsy and Dave explore this question through a spiritual lens, diving into soul contracts, reincarnation, life lessons, and the deeper purpose behind life’s most difficult experiences. This conversation isn’t about bypassing pain… It’s about understanding it differently. Betsy shares insights on how, before we come into this life, we may actually choose certain experiences, relationships, and challenges in order to grow, evolve, and learn specific lessons. Inside this episode: * What a “life review” is and how it shapes future experiences * How soul contracts influence the people and situations in your life * Why certain patterns repeat until you finally learn the lesson * The concept of divine timing and why things don’t happen when we want * Why some relationships are meant for a moment, season, or lifetime * How even painful experiences can serve your highest growth They also get real about: * Repeating life lessons (and how they escalate if ignored) * Boundaries, energy, and knowing when to walk away * The difference between helping someone… and enabling them * Why you can’t “save” everyone * Recognizing when a lesson has finally been learned This episode offers a perspective that may challenge how you see hardship—but also give you a sense of meaning, clarity, and empowerment.

Ep 6 - Imaginary Friends or Spirit Guides? A Parent’s Guide On What To Do

Are imaginary friends really just imagination… or is something deeper happening? In this episode of Let’s Get Wyrd, Betsy and Dave explore one of the most fascinating (and sometimes unsettling) topics for parents: children and their imaginary friends. But here’s the twist… What if they’re not imaginary at all? Betsy breaks down why children, especially between the ages of 0–6, are naturally more open, intuitive, and connected to spiritual realms, and why dismissing their experiences can actually shut down their intuition early in life. This conversation dives into: * Why kids’ experiences feel 100% real to them (because they are) * The difference between imagination, intuition, and spiritual connection * Why telling kids “it’s just in your head” can be harmful * How past lives may show up through children’s stories and play * What to do if your child sees something scary * The truth about spirits, ancestors, and “protective” energies * Why fear is often learned—not natural * How to nurture your child’s intuition without forcing beliefs Betsy also shares powerful personal experiences from childhood, including vivid dreams, spiritual encounters, and what it felt like to be dismissed—and how that can impact a child’s sense of reality. If you’re a parent, this episode will shift the way you look at your child’s imagination forever. And if you’ve ever had experiences as a child that you couldn’t explain… this might bring some clarity.
