Growing Up in Evangelical Christianity

Exploring Plant Medicine

Kristen and Beth dive into plant medicines that have helped them heal and grow, from magic mushrooms to Ayahuasca. Join us as we recount the fear and discomfort of our first experiences, meeting spirits, crying and shaking our way through release, and healing old, hidden wounds. Disclaimer: Working with psychedelics has real risks, and many of the substances we discuss may not be legal where you live. Please do your own research, take care of yourself, and treat plant medicines with respect.

Growing Up in Evangelical Christianity

What's it like to grow up in a community where you're not only gaslit, you're taught to gaslight yourself? We explore our guest Mandy and co-host Beth's experiences growing up in evangelical Christianity and what it's been like to heal their relationship to themselves and to the Divine. I hope you enjoy.  *Workbook Mentioned: The Mindful Self-Compassion Workbook by Kristin Neff PhD & Christopher Germer PhD

What the Heck is Channeling?

Do you know what channeling is? Do we? Kristen and Beth explore the full spectrum of channeling, from daily creativity to speaking with the dead. The deck Kristen pulls from at the end of the episode is the Star Seed Oracle deck, link here: https://starseedoracle.me/ [https://starseedoracle.me/]

Psychic Isn’t a Scary Word

Does the word "psychic" make you think of a neon sign for a shady mall psychic? Why is there so much charge around this word? We explore our associations with words like psychic, intuitive, and witch, what it's like to give a Tarot reading, and more. At the end, we pull a card for the episode and give our take. This episode's card pull came from Ravynne Phelan's Messenger deck [https://www.ravynnephelan.com/product-page/messenger-oracle-revised-edition-1].
