The Podcast: Magic, Medicine and Mayhem

About the podcast

Stories of connection and healing, brought to you by people just like you.

Through listening to personal tales and interviews, we’ll find the seeds of goodness and opportunity in every crisis that life throws at us. Holding space for the adventures, misadventures and wisdom that each of us carries, we build community through shared experience. Opportunities for reflection and meditation bring us back to nature and our own inner natures. Through it all, we find the lightness that is always available–even in the darkest of moments.

Fun fact: In January of 2022, I broke my hip while cycling on a slippery road outside of Faenza, Italy. In the months of healing that followed, wanting to transform this earth-and-hip-shattering experience into something wildly optimistic, I decided to create a podcast. And thus, the podcast was born.
