What if your emotions weren’t problems to fix but signals guiding you back to yourself? We sit down with Akashic Bec—Akashic Records channel, hypnotherapist, and numerologist—to explore emotional regulation, energy flow, and the practical side of mystical work. Together, we unpack why so many of us feel disjointed, how suppression distorts the body’s magnetic field, and why returning to center changes what life brings to your door.
Details
Bec walks us through her consent‑led approach to the Akashic Records, turning scattered experiences into a clear soul map. We demystify hypnosis and past life regression, swap the Hollywood myths for the real theta‑state benefits, and outline when hypnosis can succeed where solo meditation stalls. We also dive into Emotion Code and Body Code—precision tools for releasing trapped emotions and inherited cords—so you can feel lighter without guessing. Empaths will find strategies to stop absorbing everyone else’s weather, while those who avoid feeling learn how to safely open, process, and move on.
Then we get wonderfully nerdy with numerology. Learn how your life path number acts like the foundation of your inner house, why master numbers (11, 22, 33) intensify lessons and gifts, and how personal years and months help you plan surgeries, launches, and important milestones. Beck shows how numbers pair with intuition to make better decisions in the real world—no complex math required. Along the way, we share grounded practices for consistency, why healing is a spiral not a race, and a powerful reminder to stop comparing your timeline to anyone else’s.

Healing Through Photography, Wood Burning, and the Craft with River Root
********* TRIGGER ALERT - BRIEF MENTION OF SUICIDAL IDEATION **********
What if creativity could be a ritual that heals the deepest parts of you? We sit down with River Root—recovering attorney, self-taught artist, and unabashed classic car nerd—to explore how black-and-white photography, wood burning, and intention turned a life marked by breast cancer into a canvas for meaning. River shares the turning point from evangelical roots to an earth-centered spiritual practice, why a first group ritual felt like coming home, and how incense, music, and a pyrography pen create a flow state where time loosens and the soul gets loud.
Details
The conversation travels through the intimate details that shape an artist’s eye: macro shots of headlights that look like diamonds, architectural cornices and doorways, and the sacred geometry hidden in everyday objects. We talk about the leap from posting photos in a phone-saturated world to transforming images into tactile keepsakes on wood, sometimes finished with watercolor, and soon with handcrafted sigils. Along the way, River opens up about language and illness—why “warrior” talk can harm, how hair loss makes an invisible battle suddenly public, and what it meant to choose life without reconstruction and still claim beauty, style, and desire on her own terms.
We also wrestle with the word “crone”: the stereotypes, the impostor feelings, and the reframing that turns it into autonomy, earned wisdom, and the freedom to design a life you actually want. There’s humor (“my boobs tried to kill me”), tenderness, and practical insight on turning intention into practice, embracing authenticity when it isn’t universally loved, and finding your people by making the art only you can make. If you’re curious about ritual, creativity, witchcraft, body image, or how to rebuild after a hard season, this one will stay with you long after it ends.

The Language of Animals and Energy with Melissa Engerman
What if you could truly understand what your beloved pet is thinking? What if the barriers between species weren't as impenetrable as we've been led to believe? In this captivating conversation with psychic-medium Melissa Engerman, we explore the profound connections possible between humans, animals, and the spiritual realm.
Details
Melissa shares her remarkable journey as an intuitive who has communicated with spirits and animals since childhood. Rather than seeing these abilities as extraordinary, she approaches them with refreshing humility: "Everyone can talk to pets. Everyone can talk to spirits. I don't have any special abilities." This perspective opens doorways for listeners to reconsider their own intuitive capabilities and relationship with the natural world.
The conversation takes fascinating turns as Melissa explains her process of animal communication—working primarily with photographs, entering a meditative state, and receiving information through mental images, physical sensations, and intuitive knowing. She shares touching stories of helping a diabetic dog understand the importance of insulin shots and mediating peace between household pets. These anecdotes aren't just heartwarming; they demonstrate practical applications of energy work that can transform relationships between pets and their humans.
Beyond technique, Melissa offers a philosophical framework that honors animals as conscious beings with emotions comparable to humans. "They feel the same way that humans feel," she explains, challenging listeners to approach animals with greater respect for their autonomy and needs. Her compassionate approach extends to humans too, as she emphasizes meeting people where they are in their understanding of animal care, recognizing that problematic behaviors often stem from lack of knowledge rather than malice.
Ready to explore new dimensions of connection with the animals in your life? Follow Melissa's work at www.ReikiByMelissa.com or join one of her community Reiki sessions at Tranquili-Chi to experience the transformative power of energy healing firsthand. Open your mind to the possibility that the beings around you—furred, feathered, or otherwise—might understand more than you think, and might just be waiting for you to understand them too.
Authenticity is a Superpower with Mary Beth Coster
***** WARNING: SUICIDE AND SUBSTANCE USE DISCUSSED *****
Mary Beth Coster's spiritual journey defies conventional narratives about faith and redemption. When her husband stood at the brink of suicide, Mary Beth—a self-described "broken" person with no strong religious foundation—made a desperate plea to a God she wasn't sure existed. What followed transformed not just their marriage, but their entire approach to life.
Details
In this deeply moving conversation, Mary Beth recounts how divine intervention prompted her to share long-held secrets with her husband, creating a foundation of radical honesty that saved their relationship. "You leveled the playing field," he told her, finding connection rather than judgment in her confessions. This pivotal moment led them to the Mormon church as authentically flawed humans presuming acceptance for who they truly were.
Perhaps most remarkable is how Mary Beth and her husband overcame years of addiction. Both struggled with opioid dependency, with Mary Beth also battling alcoholism. Through prayer, they quit "cold turkey overnight"—a transformation that three years later has left them physically, mentally, and spiritually renewed.
Throughout our conversation, Mary Beth demonstrates how maintaining personal power within religious structures creates true freedom. Whether discussing her telepathic abilities, her compassion for LGBTQ+ individuals, or her profound connection with rescued animals, she embodies the radical authenticity she preaches. "I'm tired of hiding," she declares, challenging listeners to examine whether their spiritual practices enhance or diminish their authentic selves.
For anyone who has felt too broken, too honest, or too different for traditional spiritual paths, Mary Beth's story offers liberation. Her powerful message reminds us that our most painful moments can become our greatest strengths when we stop hiding and start demanding acceptance for who we truly are. The chains that once bound her have fallen away, leaving a life "we can't wait to happen." What chains might you be ready to shed?
Reclaiming Ancient Power: A Priestess's Journey with IO Kirkwood
What if your spiritual journey began before you were even born? For IO Kirkwood, a metaphysical practitioner with 38 years of experience, that's exactly how it started—"in utero." Descended from an Irish priestess tradition from County Cork, IO shares how she reconnected with ancestral gifts that had been refused for two generations before her.
Details
From fairy contact at age four to leading a Maiden, Mother, and Crone community today, IO's path reveals profound insights about human potential and divine connection. She challenges conventional spiritual frameworks, explaining, "I don't worship anything. What I do is co-create with these beings, these frequencies, these energies." This perspective places sovereignty at the center of spiritual practice—we aren't subordinate to higher powers but active participants in creation.
One of the most practical tools IO shares is the "cancel, cancel, cancel, delete" technique for interrupting negative thought patterns. Since "your environment reflects back to you exactly what you think," this simple mantra helps reprogram subconscious beliefs that limit our potential. She explains how our bodies don't understand negation, making positive affirmations far more effective than trying to negate negative thoughts.
IO's work empowering women through her community group addresses how patriarchal culture has diminished women as they age. She offers a fascinating perspective on feminine and masculine energies—how women naturally multiply energy while men concentrate it, and how menopause gives women access to both abilities, creating a natural spiritual completeness that ancient magical traditions sought to achieve.
Whether she's discussing sound healing, magical practices, or the importance of authenticity as "the highest frequency," IO's insights invite us to recognize our divine nature and take responsibility for our spiritual development. Join us for this extraordinary conversation that might just change how you view yourself, your thoughts, and your place in the cosmos.
What Does Money Mean to Your Soul with Chione & Chloe
Dive into the spiritual undercurrents of our complicated relationship with money as Chloe and Chione explore how dramatically different upbringings shaped their financial mindsets.
Details
With raw vulnerability, Chloe reveals growing up in a "gypsy lifestyle" where she was taught that wealth was inherently evil and that wealthy people were corrupt targets to be exploited. Her journey from believing that education was "a giant casino game set up for failure" to recognizing her own worth unfolds with powerful honesty. See episode #5, From Struggles to Spirit, to hear Chloe's childhood story.
Meanwhile, Chione shares her contrasting experience of growing up in poverty with the primary goal of becoming educated enough to ensure she would never be poor again. Together, they untangle how these early frameworks created lasting impacts on their spiritual journeys, self-worth, and professional choices. See episode #3, From Courtrooms to Coaching, to hear how Chione's sister chose a legal career to stop the cycle of poverty in their lives.
The conversation shifts beyond personal stories to examine broader questions about spiritual authenticity in a capitalist society. How can spiritual practitioners value their services appropriately without feeling greedy? Is charging for spiritual work contradictory to spiritual growth? The hosts don't just identify these tensions—they work through them, offering listeners a path toward reconciliation between material wellness and spiritual integrity.
Perhaps the most transformative insight emerges when they challenge the scarcity mindset that often underlies our financial thinking. "I believe that we can all live in abundance financially and internally without taking from others," Chloe affirms, reframing abundance as unlimited rather than zero-sum. This perspective shift creates space for a healthier relationship with money that supports rather than hinders spiritual development.
Whether you're wrestling with financial insecurity, questioning the ethics of charging for your gifts, or seeking to break free from limiting money beliefs, this conversation offers compassionate perspective and practical wisdom for aligning your financial and spiritual lives. The episode concludes with a beautiful abundance invocation that listeners can adopt into their own practice.
Stripped Naked: A Tantric Journey of Self-Love with Author Sherry Tuegel
Author Sherry Tuegel's journey from Quaker meetings to tantric healing offers a roadmap for anyone seeking deeper connection with their whole being. Her new book, Stripped Naked and Other Songs of Love, takes you along this tantric healing journey.
Details
In this soul-stirring episode, author and energy worker Sherry Tuegel shares how her Quaker childhood taught her to "sit down and wait for God to talk to you" – creating a foundation for the profound spiritual experiences that would shape her life. With disarming honesty, she describes moments of divine guidance, including hearing clear messages during personal crises: "Sherry, you don't learn with your mind."
What sets Tuegel’s perspective apart is her refreshing take on spiritual duality. Rather than viewing our separateness as something to transcend, she celebrates it: "We come here for this dance of duality... I get to know you as something different from me and that, to me, is exquisite." This philosophy creates space for both spiritual unity and human individuality.
Tuegel describes her encounters with Sekhem (All Love) energy – an ancient Egyptian transmission that Patrick Ziegler received during an overnight stay in the Great Pyramid of Giza. During All Love sessions, this energy goes "wherever you're blocking love or wherever you need healing," triggering profound physical sensations, emotional releases, and spiritual openings. The hosts share their firsthand experiences with this powerful modality, describing light visions and feelings of safety that transcended typical social experiences.
Perhaps most courageously, Tuegel discusses her integration of sexuality and spirituality through tantric practices. Challenging Western reductions of tantra to merely sexual techniques, she explains that "red tantra is the little fingernail on the body of tantra" – with meditation forming the majority of the tradition. Her journey into tantric healing merged spiritual awakening with embodied pleasure, where practitioners "turned to light bodies" during a session.
Throughout our conversation, Tuegel returns to simple yet profound guidance: "Love yourself and feel deeply into your heart and let it be the leader." By grounding in bodily sensation and heart-centered awareness, we access the present moment where transformation occurs.Ready to experience deeper self-acceptance and spiritual connection? Listen now and discover how honoring your whole being—body, heart, and spirit—creates the foundation for authentic awakening.
Where Apollo Meets Astrocartography: One Witch's Awakening with Ashley Brown
Have you ever followed an intuitive pull toward a place or practice that later revealed itself as part of your spiritual destiny? Ashley Brown's journey from Tumblr-browsing teenager to confident witch is a testament to trusting those subtle nudges from the universe.
Details Ashley, founder of Nerdventures travel company, shares how her spiritual path began with secretly borrowed books and blossomed into a nature-based practice deeply connected to the land around her Florida home. Despite her Roman Catholic upbringing, Ashley found herself drawn to witchcraft's welcoming embrace, gradually developing rituals that feel authentic rather than prescribed. Her story illustrates how our spiritual practices evolve when we release the pressure to "do it right" and simply follow what resonates.
The conversation takes a fascinating turn when Ashley describes her visit to Delphi, Greece—a journey that unexpectedly became a profound spiritual awakening. Standing in Apollo's temple, she experienced an overwhelming sense of connection and joy, particularly remarkable given her usual aversion to the sun. Months later, an astrocartography reading revealed her sun line runs directly through Greece, suggesting this location naturally enhances her sense of self. These meaningful "coincidences" confirm what many spiritual seekers discover: sometimes our souls know our path long before our conscious minds catch up.
Whether you're a practicing witch, a curious seeker, or simply someone who loves travel with deeper meaning, Ashley's wisdom offers a refreshing perspective. Her advice? Keep it simple, follow what naturally draws you, and don't feel pressured to do everything at once. Connect with us at mysticalmermaidelounge.buzzsprout.com and share how her journey resonates with your own spiritual explorations.
What happens when your carefully planned European vacation starts with a mid-air flight turnaround and four days in the same clothes? A spiritual journey unlike any other.
When Chione's flight to Amsterdam was diverted back to Baltimore due to a fire in a substation of the Heathrow Airport, it was just the beginning of a series of travel mishaps that would transform her perspective forever.
Details
Traveling through the Netherlands, Germany, and Luxembourg without luggage might sound like a nightmare, but it became the perfect backdrop for profound discoveries about humanity, history, and the power of chosen happiness.
The heart of this episode lies in unexpected encounters with three Moroccan taxi drivers who shared not just their cultural pride ("We have the best food in the world!") but profound wisdom about peaceful coexistence. "Allah tells me to live in my house over here and you live in your house over there... Why do we have to tell each other how to live?" one driver asked, offering a simple but powerful perspective on global conflicts.
Standing in the remains of 2000-year-old Roman baths built in 4 AD and marketplaces where witch trials led to the execution of countless women (research showed one out of two women were killed in certain regions), Keone confronts the duality of human existence—our capacity for remarkable creation and shocking cruelty. The persecution methods detailed from historical torture museums reveal uncomfortable truths about how societies have systematically silenced women throughout history.
Between fascinating historical revelations and philosophical taxi rides, this episode weaves together moments of vulnerability, humor, and spiritual insight. The most powerful takeaway? "Happiness is a choice" and true magic isn't found only in distant lands but in opening our eyes to see beauty everywhere—even when wearing the same socks for four days straight.
Tune in for a journey that will transform how you think about travel mishaps, cultural connection, and finding wonder in the most unexpected circumstances.
The Awakening Call: Hurricane Katrina, Shamanism and KarmaFest with Patricia Hawes
What happens when a medical researcher at Johns Hopkins receives powerful premonitions about global disasters? For Patricia Hawes, these visions led to an extraordinary awakening during Hurricane Katrina relief efforts, where a chance encounter with a spiritual teacher changed everything.
Today, Patti Hawse is a prophetic shamanic practitioner, and founder/producer of KarmaFest. KarmaFest is an annual festival for spiritual seekers in the mid-Atlantic. The last of 75 festivals is scheduled for June 28-29, 2025, in Havre de Grace, MD.
This episode explores Patti's spiritual awakening, teachings of her shaman mentor (Leotha Douglas), working with energies, the beginnings of KarmaFest, and what's next for Patti and the spiritual community she's cultivated over the last 20 years.
Details
Patricia recounts the fascinating story of how she transformed from a conventional career professional into the founder of Karma Fest, a metaphysical festival she's produced for 20 years. Before this radical shift, she experienced vivid premonitions of events like 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina. Following her intuition to volunteer in Louisiana, she met Leotha Douglas – the man with amber eyes who had been appearing in her dreams asking "Where are you?"
During a yoga and meditation session in a Baptist church shelter, Patricia underwent a profound chakra clearing that sparked her spiritual journey. This catalytic moment led her to create Karma Fest, a gathering that embraces diverse spiritual modalities without pushing any single belief system. Through the festival, Patricia has witnessed countless transformations – including within her own family, as her daughter's life changed dramatically after receiving a reading at an early event.
Throughout our conversation, Patricia shares insights from her extensive exploration of spiritual practices – from shamanic journeying and Reiki to channeling and energy work. She explains how these experiences shaped her understanding of intuition, healing, and the connections between physical needs and spiritual awareness. Her refreshing approach embraces learning through direct experience rather than rigid doctrine.As she prepares for her 75th and final Karma Fest this June, Patricia discusses her future plans – finishing her memoir, reviving a screenplay about Edgar Cayce, and developing retreat concepts that unite spiritual teachers. Her parting wisdom resonates powerfully: "We're so much more powerful than we think we are... you shouldn't dim yourself out of fear."Join us for this enlightening conversation about following intuitive guidance, embracing spiritual awakening, and creating spaces where transformation can flourish.
