Brew yourself a cup of lemon balm tea or take some of Cecilia's very strong tincture and settle in.

We also talk about the in-person gatherings we're planning to attend, Gradh gives us an earworm, and Cecilia gives everyone a challenge to get out of their comfort zone.

So sorry! The tech gremlins played a Samhain trick on us... This is the correct episode.
We recorded this episode in July, and then it got pushed behind the Mabon one so we could get that one out before the holiday.
And then there was some weather, Gradh is in the process of a major move, and Cecilia has been traveling and starting up her writing program. This made for...

Cecilia is back from vacation, Gràdh has been moving, and we’re recording in the evening, so our brains are a little…unfocused. It’s almost like we have ADHD or something.
We do talk about Mabon and its place on the Wheel of the Year, the current state of Cecilia’s garden, our plans for celebrating, and various other topics. Like our hair. Not kidding. You’ve been warned.

We recorded this one in the spring just after the Eclipse. It’s interesting to revisit the shift in energy and perspective.
Do you remember our annual intentions? That's okay, neither did Gràdh. Luckily, Cecilia wrote them down, so we review them and how we’re doing with them.
Finally, we have a...

Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
