| The Final Episode: Of Good Endings & New Beginnings | The Alchemist Inkwell | 12 août 2026 | 00:42:53 | |
After five years, this is the final episode of The Alchemist Inkwell. This isn't an ending born from a fight, a falling out, or something going wrong. In fact, that's part of what makes this moment so strange: sometimes something can still feel good while no longer feeling like the right path forward. In our final conversation, we're looking back at five years of The Alchemist Inkwell — the trips, interviews, books, synchronicities, technical difficulties, strange recording spaces, huge life changes, and the people we've been lucky enough to meet along the way. We also talk about why we're choosing to follow where life is taking each of us next, how you can continue following our work, and pull one final set of cards for the community we've built together. The podcast isn't disappearing. The entire library will remain here for you to revisit, share, and hopefully keep finding something useful in whenever you need it. Thank you for listening. And, one last time: Go make some magic. KEEP UP WITH US Emily Dexter — @likerofwords You can also continue following both Emily and KristaLyn through their individual YouTube channels, Patreon communities, social platforms, trips, classes, lives, and everything still to come. #TheAlchemistInkwell #SpiritualPodcast #NewBeginnings | |||
| The Magic of Starting Over | Travel, Intuition & Trusting Your Path | 12 août 2026 | 00:47:30 | |
Sometimes moving forward means being willing to start over. In this episode of The Alchemist Inkwell, we finally sit down with the legendary Malcolm — the guide behind some of our most unforgettable trips to Greece — to talk about travel, intuition, starting over, chosen family, and what happens when you trust the path even when you have absolutely no idea where it’s taking you. After years of guiding travelers, Malcolm is beginning a completely new chapter of his own life: trading tour buses for boats and working toward becoming a captain in Greece. We talk about why starting from the bottom again doesn’t mean you’re moving backward, how travel can completely change the trajectory of your life, why strangers can become family in a matter of days, the unexpected moments that transform us, trusting your gut when there’s no obvious “right” decision, and why sometimes the bigger mistake is never taking the chance at all. Plus: people accidentally left behind on buses and ferries, the strange energy of Delos and Renea, Malcolm’s dream of sailing around with a rescue dog and cat, and the origin of one of our favorite travel sayings: “You come as strangers and you leave as family.” FOLLOW MALCOLM CHAPTERS 00:00 Sometimes you have to start over The Alchemist Inkwell is a spiritual podcast for grounded people exploring astrology, intuition, magic, personal growth, travel, spirituality, and all the strange ways life pushes us toward becoming who we’re supposed to be. #Spirituality #Travel #PersonalGrowth | |||
| A Child’s “Bad” Zodiac Sign & an Animal Psychic MLM | Spiritual Reddit AITA | 05 août 2026 | 00:22:32 | |
An 11-year-old wants to legally change her birthday because she wishes she had a different zodiac sign. Then a tarot reader asks whether he’s wrong for questioning his friend’s animal telepathy business—and refusing to support her spiritual MLM. In this episode of What in the Woo Woo, Emily and Krista unpack two Spiritual Reddit AITA stories involving birth charts, animal communication, tarot, pyramid schemes and the complicated line between respecting someone’s beliefs and enabling bad behavior. Can someone actually have a “bad” zodiac sign? When does an astrological birth chart officially begin? Is it ethical to give astrology readings to children? Does charging money make a spiritual service less legitimate? And are you obligated to pay your friend to telepathically communicate with your pet? CHAPTERS 0:00 A Child’s Zodiac Sign and an Animal Psychic What’s your verdict? Would you ever pay an animal communicator to read your pet? | |||
| The Leo Solar Eclipse Is Shifting Power—Here’s What It Means for You | 03 août 2026 | 00:47:44 | |
The Leo solar eclipse may bring chaos at the top—but for ordinary people, it may be an opportunity to reclaim personal and collective power. In this episode, Emily and Krista explore why solar eclipses are traditionally connected to leadership and hierarchy, what this eclipse could reveal about political power, and why the energy may feel more like community, self-worth, and new beginnings for the rest of us. They also discuss how eclipse effects may unfold over time, why breakups and changing desires could surface, and how to move through eclipse season without feeling inactive or powerless. From journaling and divination to spending time near water and intentionally trying something new, this is a guide to receiving the eclipse’s energy instead of trying to control it. CHAPTERS 0:00 Why Eclipse Season Feels So Intense 0:22 Welcome to the Leo Solar Eclipse 2:15 Where the Eclipse Will Be Visible 6:46 The Start of Something Monumental 7:53 Why the United States May Still Feel the Effects 10:59 How Long the Eclipse Effects May Last 11:57 Leo, Leadership, and Washington, D.C. 15:51 Why Solar Eclipses “Take Out the Kings” 16:20 Fresh Starts, Self-Worth, and Breakups 17:15 Chaos at the Top, Community Below 20:05 Why Political Leaders May Fear Collective Power 21:21 How to Work With Eclipse Energy 23:50 Divination, Learning, and Letting Go 27:00 The Upcoming Venus Retrograde What are you already feeling from this eclipse season? Are you noticing a fresh start, changing relationships, political instability, or a stronger pull toward community? Follow The Alchemist Inkwell for grounded conversations about astrology, spirituality, magic, and what it all means in real life. Safety note: Never look directly at a solar eclipse without properly certified eclipse glasses. | |||
| Why Dungeon Crawler Carl Deserves the Hype | 29 juil. 2026 | 00:32:20 | |
Dungeon Crawler Carl has officially taken over our lives—but does the series genuinely deserve all the hype? We discuss the characters we are terrified to lose, its surprisingly thoughtful commentary on misogyny and oppressive systems, and why rereading a familiar story can become an emotional life raft when everything else feels chaotic. We also talk about The Song of Achilles, The Spellshop, Heaven Official’s Blessing, Suffs, Korea’s Battle of Fates, trusting your intuition, Reykjavik, Tokyo, and an upcoming magical trip to Scotland.

| Did a Volcano in Greece Reveal a Greek God? | 26 juil. 2026 | 00:53:44 | |
Did a volcano in Greece reveal the a Greek god —and only for our group? In Part 3 of our Greece travel recap, we leave Athens for Santorini, perform a releasing ritual on a black-rock beach, explore Oia and Fira, survive an absolutely unhinged lobster dinner, and board a literal pirate ship headed for a dormant volcano. While swimming in the volcanic thermal waters, we looked up and saw a massive horned goat standing above us on the cliff. It stayed there surveying our group until we left—and disappeared before the other boats arrived. Was it simply incredible timing, or did a Greek god make an appearance? We also share the deeper magic of the trip: strangers becoming community, dancing together beneath the full moon, protecting one another and creating memories that will last far beyond Greece. Plus: ferry bathroom chaos, the Temple of Poseidon, a spontaneous trip to Naxos, ancient temples to Dionysus and Apollo, Emily’s newest tattoo and KristaLyn’s newly announced Scotland trip for May 2027.

| My Ex Wants Custody — Is It Wrong to Hex Him? | Spiritual Reddit AITA | 22 juil. 2026 | 00:17:19 | |
Her ex checked out for years — missed birthdays, no involvement, let her handle everything alone. Now he's got a new girlfriend, a nicer house, and suddenly wants 50/50 custody. Convenient timing, right? This Patreon-submitted What in the Woo-Woo hits different. A mom who's been solo-parenting for years asks Emily and KristaLyn: is it wrong to hex the man who abandoned his kids for a decade, now that he wants credit for showing up? Plus: a 16-year-old gets dumped mid-coffee-date over her star sign, and we are NOT letting this one go without some astrology myth-busting. Got your own What in the Woo-Woo?

| Were the Oracles of Delphi Secretly a Queer Sanctuary? | 20 juil. 2026 | 00:41:31 | |
At the most sacred site on Earth to her, Emily got a download that isn't written in any history book — about who the Oracle of Delphi really was, and why. Part 2 of our Greece recap picks up in Athens with Malcolm's very last tour before he steps back for good, walks the Acropolis and the fight over the Parthenon Marbles, and ends on the two-hour bus ride to Delphi — where two guides who've never met told almost the same story about lights no one can explain, and where Emily received something she's still unpacking.

| My Mom Is Addicted to Her Psychic | Spiritual Reddit AITA | 15 juil. 2026 | 00:16:11 | |
Is it wrong to call out your own mom for running her life by psychic readings instead of therapy? This week on What in the Woo-Woo, Emily and KristaLyn go through two Reddit AITA posts submitted by real people navigating spirituality, family, and boundaries — including one where a psychic named Angie may be doing a lot more harm than good. Story 1: A brother teaches his teenage sister meditation techniques to help with her anxiety — and their religious parents are NOT happy about it. Story 2: A woman calls out her mom's years-long reliance on a psychic who's weighed in on everything from a pregnancy to a sister's OnlyFans to a toxic relationship. Do you agree with our verdicts?

| Is Mount Olympus a Portal? What We Felt on the Summer Solstice | 13 juil. 2026 | 00:46:41 | |
Is Mount Olympus more than a mountain? Emily and KristaLyn return from Greece to share what happened when they spent the summer solstice on Mount Olympus— including their guide’s stories about NASA visitors, unexplained lights above the mountain, a hidden city said to exist inside it, and the possibility that Olympus once functioned as a gateway between realms. They also accidentally join Thessaloniki Pride, enter the sacred forest associated with Dionysus, stand above the remains of Apollo’s temple, drink from Aphrodite’s spring, hear the disturbing history of Artemis’s forbidden forest, and receive brutally accurate traditional Greek coffee-ground readings. Was Mount Olympus simply a sacred location shaped by thousands of years of mythology and ritual—or is something still happening there? CHAPTERS 0:00 Is Mount Olympus a Portal?

| Are Your Video Games Letting Spirits In? | Spiritual Reddit AITA | 09 juil. 2026 | 00:21:32 | |
He's about to lose 85% of his video game library — because his mom says it's letting spirits into the house. And two roommates can't agree on a $90 spirit box... but one of them might believe in it more than he's willing to admit.

| Spiritual Psychosis Is Rising — How to Stay Grounded | 06 juil. 2026 | 00:50:34 | |
Spirituality can be beautiful, healing, and life-changing — but when the world feels chaotic, uncertain, and intense, it can also get overwhelming fast. In this episode of The Alchemist’s Inkwell, Emily and KristaLyn talk about spiritual psychosis, spiritual awakening, grounded intuition, mental health, astrology, spiritual bypassing, and how to tell when your spiritual practice is helping you grow versus making you feel more afraid, isolated, or unstable. We also look at the intense astrology of the week, the collective pressure people are feeling, why discomfort does not always mean something is “out of alignment,” and why staying grounded is one of the most important spiritual practices right now. This is not about being scared of your intuition. It is about learning how to stay spiritually open without losing your connection to reality, your body, your community, or your joy. When in doubt, zone out. Stay grounded. Go make some magic.

| The Healing Magic of Books Can Help You Right Now | 02 juil. 2026 | 00:29:18 | |
Books are more than entertainment — sometimes they are comfort, escape, healing, identity work, and the thing that helps us get through real life. In this Bookend Edition of The Alchemist’s Inkwell, Emily and KristaLyn talk about what they are reading, why fiction can be a healing modality, the comfort of returning to beloved stories, audiobook pacing, ADHD listening speeds, ancient Rome family trees, ancestry, millennial theme songs, and whether money really can change your happiness.

| The Astrology of America’s 250th Birthday Is Intense | 29 juin 2026 | 00:44:44 | |
America is turning 250, and the astrology around this moment is intense. In this episode of The Alchemist Inkwell, Emily and KristaLyn look at the astrology surrounding America’s 250th birthday, including Mars conjunct Uranus in Gemini, Pluto in Aquarius, Saturn and Neptune in Aries, and the larger 2026–2028 energetic pattern sometimes called Barbault’s Basket. What starts as a conversation about predictions quickly becomes a bigger discussion about freedom, collapse, technology, AI, billionaires, climate, community, the Constitution, Fourth of July mythology, and what might come after the old version of America stops working. Is this a moment of crisis, awakening, rebellion, or rebuilding? Maybe all of it. By the end, they pull cards for America’s 250th birthday and explore how to stay grounded, protect your peace, reclaim real freedom, and imagine what comes next.

| She Lied About His Tarot Reading | Spiritual Reddit AITA | 24 juin 2026 | 00:19:24 | |
Today on What in the Woo-Woo, we’re reading two spiritual Reddit AITA stories about tarot, psychics, astrology, relationship boundaries, and what happens when people use “the universe” to avoid having an actual conversation. First: someone gives a tarot reading to a friend she has feelings for… and then lies when the cards suggest he may not end up with his girlfriend. Then: a boyfriend refuses to go to a psychic after his girlfriend starts making their whole relationship revolve around crystals, astrology, and spiritual excuses for rude behavior. Is it spiritual guidance, emotional avoidance, or just two people who should probably be single for a while?

| Mercury Retrograde in Cancer Wants You to Be Weird | 22 juin 2026 | 00:32:23 | |
Mercury Retrograde is back, but this one is not just about broken phones, delayed flights, and miscommunication. This Mercury retrograde in Cancer is bringing up old feelings, unfinished emotional business, mental clutter, and the parts of ourselves we may have been avoiding. In this episode of The Alchemist’s Inkwell, Emily and KristaLyn talk about why this retrograde feels more emotional than usual, how to close the “mental tabs” that are draining you, why crying in public should not be shameful, and how singing, creativity, and weird little life choices can help move stuck energy. This is not a fear-based Mercury retrograde episode. This is a “feel it, process it, sing through it, and let your life get a little weirder” episode. Go make some magic.

Welcome back to The Alchemist’s Inkwell: Woo Woo Edition — where we read spiritual Reddit AITA stories and ask the important questions: are they actually wrong, or is everyone just being weird? This week, we’re talking about Catholic school, ghost conversations with kids, spiritual therapy, shamanic astrology buzzwords, religious trauma, Amazon ghost-hunting kits, and one husband who apparently wants to become an exorcist. Because being open-minded does not mean believing everything. And being spiritual does not mean letting people manipulate you with “faith,” “intuition,” or a ghost-hunting kit they bought online. In this episode: We react to a parent worried about supernatural talk around her kids. We unpack whether a spiritual therapist’s approach feels grounded or like a pile of buzzwords. We talk about religious trauma, relationships, exorcism, and what happens when spirituality crosses a boundary. And yes — some opinions are just wrong.

| Summer Solstice Magic: Dreams, Sun in Cancer & Timeline Shifts | 15 juin 2026 | 00:39:02 | |
In this episode of The Alchemist Inkwell, Emily and KristaLyn talk about the magic of the Summer Solstice, Cancer season, dream work, ritual practices, timeline shifts, and how to check in with everything you’ve been manifesting since last year. The Summer Solstice is one of the major energetic turning points of the year, and this conversation explores how to work with that energy through dreams, divination, flower crowns, ritual outfits, dancing, drumming, spell jars, junk journal magic, plant care, natural water, and intentional manifestation. They also talk about why this solstice feels especially activated, what it means to focus on your own world without spiritually bypassing, and how to stop shutting yourself down when you ask for what you really want. If this season feels like a pivot point, this episode is your reminder to take stock of how far you’ve come, name what you want next, and go make some magic. What are you doing for the Solstice this year? 🌞 Tell us what you’re manifesting, what ritual you’re trying, or what dreams have been coming through lately.

| Spiritual Survival Guide: Venus Jupiter Conjunction and the Power of Joy | 10 juin 2026 | 00:40:30 | |
This week on The Alchemist’s Inkwell, Emily and KristaLyn talk about the Venus-Jupiter conjunction in Cancer, the New Moon in Gemini, Pride Month, and how to find real joy while the world still feels heavy. This episode is about spiritual survival without spiritual bypassing. Yes, the astrology of the week has some beautiful, magical, benefic energy — but Saturn and Mars are also acting like hecklers in the background. So how do we let good things happen, celebrate joy, and stay connected to our own power without pretending everything is fine? Emily and KristaLyn also talk about Pride Month, spiritual travel, Greece, Delphi, asking your guides for validation, finding your values, and Emily’s official Locusta cover reveal. If you are trying to stay grounded, magical, politically aware, and emotionally alive at the same time, this episode is for you.

| Crossing Magical boundaries...| Spiritual Reddit AITA | 10 juin 2026 | 00:22:13 | |
This week on What in the Woo-Woo, Emily and KristaLyn react to two Reddit stories about Reiki, tarot, skepticism, grief, boundaries, and spiritual consent. First, a grieving teenager is taken to a Reiki session by his mom after a rough year, but he becomes convinced the whole thing is fake after finding what he believes is a hidden speaker. Was he right to refuse another session, or was his mom just scared and trying to help? Then, a man loses it after his best friend’s girlfriend tries to give him a tarot reading in his own house after he already said no. Is he wrong for snapping, or was she crossing a line by pushing spiritual work onto someone who clearly didn’t want it? This episode is full of gray areas: skeptical teenagers, grieving parents, pushy tarot readers, bad communication, and the big question at the center of it all — what does consent look like in spiritual spaces? Tell us in the comments: who was wrong here? Go make some magic. #WhatInTheWooWoo #TarotReading #SpiritualConsent #RedditStories #TheAlchemistsInkwell 00:00 Welcome to What in the Woo-Woo Join our new LIVE show, The Alchemist's Inkspill, every Friday at 1pm EST/10am PST here on YouTube (and Instagram Live)!

The first half of 2026 was vibes. The second half is action.In this mid-year check-in, Emily and KristaLyn revisit their 2026 predictions and talk about what has already come true, what still feels like it’s building, and why this year has felt so slippery, chaotic, and impossible to fully grasp.They talk about 2026 as a Tower Card year, the Saturn-Neptune blur, propaganda and media discernment, the return of magic and physical media, financial instability, collective exhaustion, and why waiting for comfort is not the same thing as building a better future.This is a conversation about discomfort, community, action, astrology, and the very real spiritual work of not tapping out.Because no one else is coming.We save us.00:00 — Hook: The vibes are over, action begins00:26 — Welcome to the mid-year 2026 check-in01:23 — Why 2026 feels so slippery01:41 — Gemini rising and the mutable chaos of the year02:31 — 2026 as the Tower Card year03:00 — Breaking the bone to reset it correctly04:37 — “We save us.

| Of Cards and Crashout | 21 mai 2026 | 00:32:04 | |
Excuse our delay in posting, tech hates us! This Taurus New Moon was supposed to feel grounding, abundant, and stable…Instead, it feels like feminine rage.In this episode of The Alchemist’s Inkwell, Emily and KristaLyn explore the astrology behind this emotionally charged New Moon, including the ancient fixed star Algol — historically associated with Medusa, Lilith archetypes, and even “the pile of corpses.”We talk about:✦ feminine rage & emotional suppression✦ why anger is not inherently bad✦ spiritual bypassing vs authentic transformation✦ the hidden cost of magic & manifestation✦ calculated rage vs explosive rage✦ Taurus New Moon astrology✦ Algol mythology & fixed star lore✦ shadow work, boundaries, and emotional truth✦ tarot guidance for navigating this energyThis isn’t about blind anger.It’s about listening to what your emotions are trying to reveal.

| What In The WooWoo: Duck Hypnosis? | 21 mai 2026 | 00:21:58 | |
Three Reddit posters think they did nothing wrong. Two psychics have thoughts.This week on What in the Woo Woo — a 19 year old Gemini gets called manipulative by her aunt who refuses to see a Gemini doctor, a man questions whether his sister is joining a cult by marrying Jesus as a consecrated virgin, and a boyfriend leaves his girlfriend's family reunion after her uncle tried to hypnotize him into becoming a duck. His cousin threw sourdough at his head and yelled "you dishonor the pond."We are not making any of this up.Emily and KristaLyn break down sun sign astrology and why judging people by their sun sign alone is historically a patriarchal oversimplification, the ancient Catholic practice of consecrated virginity and what it actually means, and why hypnosis is genuinely powerful and absolutely nothing like Uncle Greg.New episodes every Monday — subscribe so you don't miss them.Join our new LIVE show, The Alchemist's Inkspill, every Friday at 1pm EST/10am PST here on YouTube (and Instagram Live)!Connect with us across the internet + IRL! 🌈Follow Emily: Patreon: / likerofwords Instagram: / likerofwords YouTube: / @likerofwords Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/likerofwords...Website (join the mailing list!): https://www.emilydexterpsychic.com/Follow KristaLyn: Patreon: / kristalynsofia Instagram: / YouTube: / @kristalynsofia Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/kristalynsof...

| Of Final Peru Recap | 21 mai 2026 | 01:04:37 | |
We had Machu Picchu to ourselves at sunset. That part we planned. What happened on the mountain was not planned at all.Four people in our group independently saw and heard a shaman on Machu Picchu Mountain — in the mist, near the top. There was one way up and one way down. He wasn't physically there. And yet four of us saw him.This is the final Peru recap and it covers everything — the Temple of the Three Windows and its connections to ancient sites across the globe, the unexcavated jungle pyramid sitting in plain sight inside Machu Picchu, Emily sneaking out sacred temple dirt, the soul prison lakes of Ausangate that their local guide warned them never to touch, KristaLyn forging a Jupiter talisman ring and getting pulled into the clouds of Jupiter when she consecrated it, Emily's tattoos, and the moment something entered Emily's body at Sacsayhuaman and rearranged things — she hasn't had heartburn since.Join our new LIVE show, The Alchemist's Inkspill, every Friday at 1pm EST/10am PST here on YouTube (and Instagram Live)!Connect with us across the internet + IRL! 🌈Follow Emily: Patreon: / likerofwords Instagram: / likerofwords YouTube: / @likerofwords Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/likerofwords...Website (join the mailing list!): https://www.emilydexterpsychic.com/Follow KristaLyn: Patreon: / kristalynsofia Instagram: / YouTube: / @kristalynsofia Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/kristalynsof...

It's a Wednesday which means it's time for our cozy little corner of the internet. This week we're combining our April Bookend with Hygge — Emily is deep in Dungeon Crawler Carl and has feelings about it, KristaLyn read a lesbian Bedazzled book and we need to talk about it. Then we pull some Hygge cards and somehow end up talking about three days without sleep, childhood smells, and a TB shot situation that apparently only happened in certain states. Also — Emily's book Locusta is available for pre-order right now everywhere you get books. Barnes and Noble, Amazon, Penguin Random House. Pre-ordering genuinely changes an author's life. Go do it.

| The Magic WAS the Tour Guide | Peru Recap [Part 3] | 28 avr. 2026 | 00:49:42 | |
We didn't go looking for magic on this day. It came looking for us. Part 3 of our Peru recap covers the day everything stopped being coincidence. A shaman we didn't plan to meet gave us a private worldview lesson in his shop. The tarot cards on the train predicted the exact day before it happened — mountain, woman walking, flowers in a bunch. And then a full ceremonial procession appeared on the trail behind us, with a shaman, musicians, animal masks, and chairs — heading to the same waterfall we were. Our guide Tina, who is Quechua and has guided these trails her whole life, had never seen this ceremony happen. Ever. And then they pulled us into it. We also cover the Pisac village and ruins, lunch with the Amaru people high in the Andes, the most magical train ride of our lives through the Sacred Valley, and arriving at Aguas Calientes before heading up to Machu Picchu — which gets its own episode because it deserves it. If you've been following this series you know Peru kept proving itself. This is the episode where it stopped being subtle about it. Want to experience this kind of magic yourself? We have trips open now — Germany this fall and Costa Rica next spring. Links in bio. New episodes every Monday. Subscribe so you don't miss Part 4 — Machu Picchu.

Two Reddit posters think they did the right thing. Emily and KristaLyn aren't so sure. This week on What in the Woo Woo — a psychic gets ambushed at her own coffee shop, and someone accidentally summons a Victorian ghost therapist named Agnes Butterworth to save their friend's marriage. No we are not making that up.

| Peru FORCED Us to Believe in Magic | Spiritual Travel Recap | 20 avr. 2026 | 00:41:37 | |
We went to Peru expecting magic. We didn't expect it to prove itself this hard. In Part 2 of our Peru recap, we walk through Day 1 of our spiritual tour through Cusco — and the ancient sites kept showing up with undeniable energy. From the impossible megalithic stones of Sacsayhuaman, to the underground chamber at Kenko where our entire group saw the same thing with their physical eyes, to a spirit dog who adopted us for miles then disappeared exactly when he was supposed to. This isn't a travel vlog. This is what happens when ancient magic refuses to let you not believe. We cover:

"In this episode of What in the Woo Woo?, Emily and Krista dive into Reddit stories about spiritual red flags. We discuss spiritual ego, toxic spirituality, and the enlightenment trap where people use manifestation as an excuse for bad behavior. From roommate horror stories to narcissism disguised as mindfulness, we expose the spiritual bypassing that happens when spiritual awakening goes wrong. It's the ultimate spiritual comedy podcast for anyone who loves Reddit stories with a twist."

| Is April Cursed? (And What Happened in Peru) | 14 avr. 2026 | 00:45:17 | |
April has felt… cursed. And honestly, we can’t ignore it anymore. From everything going wrong to what happened on the plane (yes… including a broken bra strap at the worst possible moment), we started wondering if this month is just chaotic—or if something bigger is going on. In this episode, we talk through the strange run of events this April, the upcoming Saturn–Mars conjunction, and whether astrology might actually explain the patterns we’re seeing. We also share a few other moments that made us question what’s happening… before diving into our Peru trip and how the experience felt in Cusco and Machu Picchu.
