Episode 126: Astrology with Ally from Witchy Hunch

Allyson Makuch of Witchy Hunch has been in private practice as an astrologer for 5 years, giving hundreds of astrology readings to clients from around the world. Her readings are down-to-earth, direct, and practically useful, focused on helping you understand and accept yourself in order to find greater balance in your life.

I started following Ally on Instagram in the past like 6 months and she regularly cracks me up with how she impersonates all the different astrological signs. We had such a fun and easy time talking, from goofing around, talking shop and getting serious about the state of the world. She is fun, smart and just cool all around. I was so grateful to connect with her!

Episode 117, Fun Times Connecting with Spirit

This is one of those episodes where I talk about the recent happenings in my life doing the work that I do. From a recent class I taught on Oracle Tools, to my visit to a house that supposedly had a lot of "activity" (It did!), to Angels stepping in to help in a loud way. I love love love my job and my connection almost as much as I love sharing these stories! Making the esoteric ordinary is my jam. :)

Hope you enjoy listening in!

Jenny Schiltz is a blogger and healer that I have been following for years. She began her blog in 2012 and I started following her soon after that. She is a gifted intuitive healer and teacher— I've taken some of her courses and had several readings from her and I am just so glad she agreed to come onto the show! Jenny was woken back up to her innate healing and intuitive gifts after a terrible accident that nearly killed her. The healing techniques and understandings that the Angels, Masters, Guides, Galactics, and Elementals taught her during her recovery are what she shares with her clients, along with her training as a Quantum Energy Healer, Shamanic Practitioner, and Reiki Master. Jenny's main goal is to empower you to look within, to trust and love yourself completely. She's currently offering Aura Cleansings twice a week as we navigate our ascension! I hope you enjoy listening in to our conversation and learning about her!

My dog Trixie is pretty neat. Not only does she hold such a loving space for people, but she also has been known to channel some serious wisdom. In this episode I talk about a few healing sessions where she stepped in and gave me messages to pass onto my clients. I also talk about some funny things she's said! It's such a fun gift to hear your dog's thoughts!

Last week was my husband Greg's bday and next week is our 19th wedding anniversary. We first met as housemates 22 years ago when I was in my last year of college. We had a chemistry and a pull toward one another unlike any I had had before. Our bond runs deep- several lifetimes deep I'm sure. As we got to know ourselves more the older we got, our worldviews took on polarizing angles. Our small differences became big ones. Being married to Skeptic Atheist when you're a Spiritual Healer can be rough at times! We really are meant to be together despite these differences. I just wanted to celebrate him and share some of our stories and hope you enjoy listening in! :)

In the last few weeks I have gathered up some cool stories to share of my experiences as an intuitive body worker. From psychically feeling and seeing the events of my husband's day, to a VERY clear message for a client who was nervous about embarking on a special trip, to some very physical experiences I noticed within the subtlety of some CranioSacral and Reiki healing sessions I had. I love the work that I do the stories I get to tell because of it!

Back in early days of quarantine I began hosting weekly Healing Circles with fellow healer friends for those affected by the Covid virus, as well as those under lots of stress. These circles soon turned into something bigger- the healers who gathered for these circles felt an impulse to include the Earth in these sessions and then decided to consciously include the Earth herself in our healing circles! Each week there'd be overlapping visions of what we saw and felt. In my research to better understand what we were witnessing, I was led to Amy Dempster and her powerful teaching about working with the land! Soon after I enrolled in her "Earth Tenders" online course and became a loyal listener to her Earth Keepers Podcast.

A little info about her:

Amy believes in the healing power of the earth. What began as openly sharing her spiritual journey on her blog Following Hawks, h as become a resource for others wanting to learn how to communicate with nature and share their own unique healing gifts with the earth.

Together with the Spirits of the Land in the mountains of northwest Montana, she tends seven portals on the land where she lives, along with any grid keeping work she is assigned. She also leads the Earth Tenders Academy, an immersive online journey to help others re-establish their connection with their ancient ancestors, learn to communicate with the seen and unseen forces in their environment and respectfully offer their healing energy to places in need.

Hope you enjoy our conversation about connecting with the land!

I became a mom nearly 17 years ago when I was 25. Of course having a baby is life changing, but I believe my oldest child brought in an upgrade to my own spiritual sensitivities with the arrival of his soul! He and his younger brother have both proven to be quite the amazing and connected kids. Listen in as I explain how they shifted me as a person and how they have educated me along my spiritual journey. Our kids truly are our biggest teachers.

When we were forced to stay home in March 2020, I was pushed out of my comfort zone with my healing work. Sure, I knew that distance healing worked and I even teach people how to do so in my Reiki 2 classes… but I hadn't relied on doing that as my main work ever! It was something I'd only done once in a rare while. However, I wanted to continue to serve people during those early Covid days and this was how to do that! In this episode I speak of the power of distance healing work and share some stories of my experiences in giving Reiki and readings in this distant yet very connected way of healing!

Each year there is a crystal expo in NJ… I've been going since 2016 or 2017. I love it, it's like Christmas morning for me! I recently attended and stocked up on stones this past week which inspired me to record today's show. I talk about my love relationship with crystals that heavily woke up in me a dozen years ago and has grown from collecting to now selling and sharing them with everyone around me who'll give me the time of day! Crystals are such a valuable tool in the energy healing world- I think everyone would benefit from getting to know them!

Earlier this week was Mikao Usui's birthday. Mikao Usui is the founder of Reiki and he was born August 15, 1865. Truly, Reiki is as old as time. It just got forgotten for a while and Mikao helped us to remember our innate healing abilities! I've been practicing Reiki since 2010 and began teaching it to others by 2014. It can be truly life changing work and I love sharing it with others! In this episode I speak about what a Reiki session can feel like.

Animal totems are such a neat topic. Whether you have always associated with one particular type of animal your whole life, or you have had the experience of seeing the same animal many times within a few short days. Their message is worth paying attention to!

In this episode I talk about the past week or so with my own spiritual journey of self discovery. It's pretty certain that we've all lived many lives, some of which were traumatic with effects reaching out several lives deep. I mention such a story at the start of this episode and I also mention a few other stories of signs and "coincidences" along with some reincarnation thoughts spurred this past week. Just a random mishmash of a "week in the life of Karen".

On Episode 14 I am talking about my online course. It's going to start up again in the fall and I wanted to share about it here with you.

Once we feel awakened to our Spirituality, it can feel a little overwhelming with all there is to know! We can also feel lonely since everyone in our circle may not be on the same page.

This class will cover Spiritual basics in a way that is simple and straightforward AND you will have a community like-minded folks accessible to you who will support your beliefs and honor your journey. 

I'm happy to support others who are on their spiritual journey and share my own experiences with navigating this spiritual energy world! Take a listen to understand a little better what this class has to offer!

Episode 13 of the Spiritual Seekers Podcast- Ghostly Encounters

I'm a big believer in ghosts, however- I'm not necessarily a FAN of such encounters in my own life! Like it or not, tho- this is part of the deal when dealing with the spiritual realm! One sometimes comes across spirits of departed folks who haven't crossed over for one reason or another. In this episode I talk about my few experiences in dealing with these and other types of energies!

I am definitely NOT an expert and barely feel like I know what I'm doing- but I DO love sharing these types of stories and I hope you like listening to them! Enjoy!

I mentioned my friend Christine Brown in the episode and the healing session I had with her. To learn more about her healing work, check out her website. 

I also mentioned a psychic healer who I've been following for years- her name is Anna Sayce and she's got lots of helpful courses and articles! Go here to learn more.

On Episode 12,  I delve into the fun topic of past lives! I never grow tired of speaking about and learning about past life stories! I didn't grow up thinking that way- but once I was on my spiritual journey I began exploring them and have since gathered dozens of lifetimes that I can recall pieces of.  From being a prostitute in the Old West, to a Snake Oil salesman, a Nun and other kinds of spiritual healers—it's so fascinating to me! I even share some stories of other people's past lives that I've gotten a glimpse of, too. I hope you have as much fun listening to all these fun and crazy stories as I have in telling them!

In this episode I mention a few helpful resources if you'd like to tap in and explore your own (or others!) past lives:

Brian Weiss - an psychologist and author, he's got a wealth of information! It's so fascinating!

He's got a guided regression on YouTube from when he was at Omega institute in 2012. Check it out here. 

Carol Bowman is who I referenced when speaking about children recalling past lives spontaneously. 

Carolyn Myss has done a lot of work with the archetypes that people often incarnate with. It's super interesting. 

The podcast I referred to in the show is called the Earth Keepers Podcast with Amy Dempster, it was episode 24 "The Long Strange Trip to Heal My Feet"

My mother was an amazing woman, funny, smart, kind and loving. She shaped me to be the mom I am today. In December 2002, just ten weeks after my wedding, she fell ill with an autoimmune disease called Acute Transverse Myelitis. This was a condition whose effects she'd live with for the rest of her life. She died in August of 2018 and in this episode I share stories of her from the beginning of her illness, the time of her passing, to now with her in the afterlife.  I am blessed to have had her love for 40 years in the flesh and am grateful I can connect with her still and I'm happy to share these stories here with you! Thanks for taking the time to hear them!

On Episode 10 of the Spiritual Seekers Podcast- "How Moon Magic Wellness came to be" I talk about how my current business came into fruition.

In early October 2020 I learned that the space I'd been planning on creating for 18 months- Westwood Center Soul –  wouldn't happen after all. I was eager to see what the Universe had in store for me. How was I being redirected? I KNEW I had to end up SOMEWHERE.

The pieces of the puzzle came together in record time and before ya knew it, Moon Magic in Hillsdale was open for customers and clients by Christmas. It still bends my mind how quickly and effortlessly it call came together. Listen in to hear how the story unfolds!

I wrote two blogposts about the magical happenings of the (first) space as it unfolded. You can read them here:

Today I'm talking about my dog Maggie who crossed over last year and our new dog Trix. As Maggie was ready to transition, I began hearing her thoughts more clearly and had some pretty beautiful experiences. Soon after she passed, she led us to Trixie- our new pup who's very much a healer dog. I love them both and appreciate the roles they play in my life.

Episode 115 - Death, Rebirth, and lots of signs from Spirit

Early in June I recognized that I'd overextended myself. I never considered myself to be a people pleaser nor did I think I was bad with my boundaries, but evidence to the contrary revealed itself! I started out my summer overwhelmed, burned out and with a dysregulated nervous system. I'd seen a homeopath who gave me a remedy that brought all this to the forefront. It course corrected me and its effects aided in me recognizing where I'd overcommitted myself, forcing me to confront needed change. Between the homeopathic remedy and the goddess Kali, it became evident that I'd need to clear my plate in a big way to usher in whatever new energies that needed to take place. It was a transformative summer, one where I was mostly a recluse and in cocoon mode. A metamorphosis… All to rise again, a fresher, better version of myself! Sometimes I wish I was exempt from human suffering, but why be put on this planet as a human if not to get the full human experience? Hope you enjoy listening in! Be sure to check this out in the blog format – or my Instagram - to see all the many accompanying photos that go along with this story! It's a long one!

On Episode 7 - WHEN SPIRIT GETS PUSHY - I will share some experiences I had where Spirit was INSISTENT that I get their message across to their loved ones, whether I was comfortable to or not!

I share about my own gramma influencing me to speak at the repast after her funeral, a childhood friend's father in law who was determined to let his wife know he was at a family event just a day prior, a former house mate and friend who insisted I share his message with my husband, my uncle who was determined to let his wife know how he felt about her dating life and a local friend that recently passed and wanted me to share a message with his wife. These stories are so fascinating to me and I hope you enjoy hearing them!

In Episode 5 - What a Healing Session with me is like - I go over what its like to get a session with me! Whether it's an in person Reiki Infused Massage, Reiki session or a Distance Healing session—all my first time clients receive a free "chakra reading report"- which basically is a written report of what I saw/felt/experienced during your session. During the session I tune into my client's energy and get messages from each of the 7 major chakras, I also get an Animal Totem, and other messages may come in from Spirt—whether that's a guide, Angel, Ascended Master or crossed over loved one. I explain how I receive these messages and how they present to me. The messages are always relevant and insightful for my client and I love sharing what I have channeled. So listen in to hear how I tap in and receive all these interesting insights!

Episode 113 - Taylor Swift and the Divine Feminine with Meredith Beardmore

I'm so excited to bring you today's episode! I will be geeking out about Taylor Swift and the Divine Feminine with therapist – and Swiftie- Meredith Beardmore.

Meredith Beardmore is a psychotherapist operating a private practice, the author of Hey Addiction, Thanks for NOTHING!: A Brutally Honest Guide to Loving an Addict Without Losing Your Mind, and is also known as "Mend with Mere" from her successful YouTube Channel.

Meredith is an Ohio State University graduate with a master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Meredith specializes in substance abuse treatment, helping family members of addicts and treating emerging adults with various issues, from identity development to depression.

Her YouTube Channel, "Mend with Mere," initially intended for therapy discussions, became a platform for analyzing song lyrics, primarily Taylor Swift's, garnering thousands of subscribers and over 5 million hours of watch time.

I am so happy to have found MEND WITH MERE, and her channel where she often thoughtfully discusses, dissects and reacts to songs. I stumbled upon her page in the research that goes along w dissecting lyrics! The recent Taylor Swift album – the Tortured Poets Department- is rich with amazing and meaningful songs that really sent me down rabbit holes.

I've recently become a Swiftie, and I'm not embarrassed to admit it! The more I've learned about Taylor Swift and her work, the more I've grown to love her! When she started the Eras tour last year I noticed all the girl mom friends of mine who went to see the show with their daughters were just as crazy to see her as their daughters were…  this intrigued me and I ended up watching the Netflix Special on her called "MISS AMERICANA". From there I really grew to really respect her as an artist and person. It's clear she's a smart, self-aware and sensitive.  I only began delving into her catalogue since February of this year after watching her video for "You Need To Calm Down". Seeing how she advocates for the LGBTQ really warmed my heart- I cried when I first saw it even tho it's not necessarily a tear jerker! As a mom to a transgirl it made me even happier to see someone with this platform saying F U to the naysayers. I then started listening to her on Spotify, just letting it play… I heard the song "I Did Something Bad" where she mentions how narcissists love her (common for empaths) and then she sang "They're burning all the witches even if you aren't one…. So light me up" and I got CHILLS so bad!! I could feel the power she was channeling and was floored!

I later learned about the song Willow and her video for that where it looks like a coven of women dancing around the moon—fun fact, this tree is associated with Hecate—Queen of the Witches, goddess of the underworld connected to magic and divination. Witch isn't a bad word- a witch is a woman in her power who can transmute energy and Taylor Swift does just that. From the snakes being thrown her way w the bs drama she had with Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, where she turned it around for fuel for her Reputation album, to changing the script on London and her relationship to that city (We recorded this just prior to those shows… Travis Kelce is clearly the Divine Masculine and his performance with Taylor on stage was so symbolic and amazing. If you don't know what I'm talking about, clearly you are NOT a Swiftie, lol. Google it! Night 3 London, June 22). They both really embody the divine feminine and masculine so strongly. 

Nothing prepared me tho for when she premiered her performance of "Who's Afraid of Little Old Me" from her new album in Paris back in May. This was an empowered woman, not hiding her rage and playfully playing on people's fears/accusations of her being a witch. I ate that shit up!! Every single time I listen to or watch that song I get chills and my eyes fill with tears. She channels such power and light.

Meredith and I speak about sacred rage, how it's necessary to feel in order to heal, we speak on intuition and how it grows after the arrival of our children. We speak about our kids on the spectrum and their heightened sensitivities, and we also touch on the oh so common narcissist and empath connection.

I loved my conversation with Meredith, we meandered a bit and I love all the different directions we went in. I hope you enjoy it too!!

On Episode 112, I wanted to share with you when I was a guest on the "No Bs Human Design Podcast", about a year ago. I recently re-listened to it and thought it'd be worthwhile to share here w you all. I'd interviewed Human design expert Adriana Keefe as a guest on my show last year and then I was a guest on hers. We had a fun conversation regarding the work that I do and how I do what I do. She shared her perspective in being on the receiving end of a distance healing session from me and I appreciated her insights and feedback. You know how I'm a fan of sharing fun and cool spiritual stories, and there were definitely a few in this episode. Enjoy!

Episode 109: Conversation with Life Coach and Energy Healer, Victoria O'Conner Blazeski

Coach Tori's story starts like many others, before she found her way as a spiritual healer, she followed a traditional path towards success, and by many people's standards, had achieved it. Through 2021, she worked at a top tier, global accounting firm doing international corporate tax for financial services companies, was happily married and had kids she adored. However, despite all of this perceived success, she wasn't happy. In 2019 she experienced severe burnout that lead to a transformational break-down, and break-through journey that led her to Life Coaching and the Dharma Coaching Institute where she completed the life purpose and spiritual life coaching training. She also became a Reiki Master in 2022, and began specializing in distance energy healings which allowed her to bring together the skills she'd learned and the psychic talents she'd fostered since she was a child.

Tori reached out to me a few years ago to participate in one of my "Rebalance Retreats" and in getting to know her, I have enjoyed hearing her stories and perspectives on her experiences. She recently helped me with a powerful session which spurred me to ask her to be on my show! I hope you enjoy listening in and hearing her story.

(In this episode I refer to a powerful healing session that I had with Tori, check out episode 106 for more details on that)

Episode 125: That Witchy One Amy Smith

Amy is fellow witchy soul sister. I only just came across her Instagram this summer, I felt a complete and deep resonance with her. From her mannerisms and expressions to her attitude and how she carries herself. I was stoked to connect with her for a reading just 2 weeks ago. We work very similarly with how we receive information for energy healing work. I asked her soon afterward if she'd come be a guest here just to shoot the spiritual shit and was so happy she agreed! I hope you enjoy getting to know her and listening in on two witches talking shop.

On Episode 107, I speak with Pelvic Floor Specialist and Energy Healer, Dr. Arántzazu Cioce. Zazu started her healer journey as a Doctor of Physical Therapy, specializing in Pelvic Health and supporting mothers during pregnancy, birth and the postpartum period. Working within the traditional hospital and outpatient clinics she saw that there continued to be a gap in support and care for women having babies, and knew that a more WHOLE-istic way of caring for people was how she was meant to serve others. So she started her own Physical Therapy practice, Phoenix Physical Therapy and also started supporting mamas as a Birth Doula and Birth Educator to empower birthing people to stand up for their rights in birth and in their experience. 

She always sensed there was something deeper to be explored when it came to healing our physical bodies by tapping into our emotional and intuitive experiences, and it was then through her personal journey with grief and death, that she was opened to the world of energy healing and collaborating with Spirit along the healing path. Now after a decade of experience working with the physical body, she has unlocked her own combination of physical, energy and intuitive healing work, individualizing care as unique as each individual she works with to create deep transformation.

She is currently creating sacred virtual spaces for those mothers who seek both EMPOWERMENT within our current medical system and INTUITIVE RECONNECTION with their bodies and babies during conception, pregnancy, birth and postpartum.

Zazu began giving me PT for my shoulder back in August and has since become a soul sister and fellow lightworker friend! We always have a good time, and I hope you enjoy learning about her!

Episode 105: Talking to Trees with Kara Daniels

If you know me, you know I'm a tree lover. When I saw a post on "Tree Communication" by Kara from Deep Root Connections shared by a friend, I got way excited. I was so happy to hear someone talking out loud about things I know to be true!

Kara believes that each of us holds the innate ability to communicate, co-create, and heal with all life, seen and unseen. The nature spirits, the guardians of the land and physical beings want to reignite our relationship with them and work together. It is Kara's goal to help us commune with the unseen realms, to co-create and heal with our animals, our land and home.

I really hope you enjoy this conversation. We were really just excited to talk w fellow kindred spirits, and I am hopeful that you will find some of it interesting and fascinating. And truly, it's all real which is so freaking awesome. Magic is real, our connection to nature is real and I hope that this excites you and you enjoy listening.

Episode 104: Entheogens with Christian Rasmussen

Ethnobotanicals are a fascinating and diverse group of plants that have played an important role in human cultures for centuries. From providing us with food and shelter to medicine and spirituality, plants have been an integral part of our lives since the beginning of human civilization. Entheogens are drugs/plants/medicine that give you a spiritual experience. The word entheogen literally means "creating the divine within," and is derived from the Greek roots en (within) theo (divine) and gen (creates). Entheogens have been used by indigenous peoples for millennia for "healing, knowledge, creativity, and spiritual connection.

Christian Rasmussen is the owner of Minnesota Nice Ethnobotanicals, the largest Amanita muscaria retailer, wholesaler and importer in the country. After Amanita healed his brain while going through a grueling benzodiazepine withdrawal, Christian formed MN Nice to bring Amanita to the states. He's collected thousands of anecdotal reports about amanita healing everything from anxiety, insomnia, and depression to more complex physical issues like neurological late-stage Lyme disease. He is dedicated to educating about the mushrooms' healing, spiritual, and practical potential, and giving people access to this most iconic, yet most misunderstood mushroom in the world.

We spend our time talking about Amanita Muscaria along with some other ethnobotanicals and entheogens and their healing effects as well as mind expanding aspects.

Episode 102: Interview with Former Client and Student, Stephanie

On today's episode, I speak with Stephanie Saunders- a client and student of mine from about 8 years ago. I thought it'd be nice to share the story of her spiritual awakening. Plus, she was a client I immediately clicked with and wanted to catch up with her! Soon after she took Reiki 1 with me, she got the strong urge to move to Arizona, and listened! I have enjoyed watching her life unfold from a distance via her IG account, and wanted to learn more about how things have gone with her behind the scenes! :) Hope you enjoy hearing her story!
