Witchful Thinking

✨ New Episode Alert! ✨ In this week’s episode, we're diving into the heart of kitchen witchcraft with our special guest, Elyse Welles of @seekingnumina.

We'll also get into her favorite spells, safety tips for practicing in the kitchen, and how she crafts her own herbal blends—yes, even if you’re someone like Brooke, who somehow kills ever herb she touches.🌱 Plus, she gives us a look at seasonal ingredients and herbs for Samhain that add a special touch to your autumn celebrations.

TW: This episode does discuss addiction and death, as well as other dark themes that may be triggering for some. Listen at your own discretion. There's a lot going on, both in our personal lives and in the world as a whole right now, and we're feeling it. Heavy. Although this episode leans more into a very serious, personal event, there's some comedic relief. Mainly because we're us. And we just can't end an episode without acting like a couple of 14 year olds.🖤 Join the Witchful Thinking Cozmic Coven & be a part of a private witch community. (It's free!)

In this episode, we dive into the magic of Mabon, the Autumn Equinox, where day and night come into perfect balance. We’ll explore the deeper symbolism of light and dark, reflecting on how these dual energies show up in our lives (while goofing off, as per usual. We throw our whole harvussy into it, guys.) From Mabon’s roots in Pagan traditions to the myth of Persephone’s descent into the underworld, we’ll uncover how this season invites us to pause, reflect, and restore balance. Plus, Brooke shares a simple ritual (sans chicken nuggets) to help you align with the energy of the equinox and find harmony within. Tune in for insights, reflection, and a little seasonal magic!

We’re jumping headfirst into twin flame lore this week, people! What are they? Why do so many people have the wrong (and unhealthy) idea of what they are? Do we even believe in them? There are so many questions to answer, and a whole lot of opinions floating around on the internet (some from you!) that we wanted to address! Lindsay and Brooke discuss the wild ideologies that surround the phenomena of twin flames as well as spotlighting celebrities who have proclaimed they’re in twin flame relationships. We also share stories about previous relationships, spiritual bypassing, and the toxicity that surrounds the Twin Flame Universe.

B is for: Buttrock Br*ke Bad words we don't say Brooke's singing career We've developed a sort of online/digital fatigue since 2020, and after watching Raw Beauty Kristie's video about how instant gratification has made creating content so incredibly grueling, we started thinking...is this how we've started to treat manifesting for our greatest good? If we don't get something immediately, are we just turned off of the idea of manfesting altogether?  When did we get so goddamn tired?         Want your question or story featured on the show?

Once upon a time, we had a mothering series that we loved soooo much, we had to *kinda* bring it back.  If you listened to that series (or you've just been around for a while!) you know already that there's a lot we wanted for ourselves from our mothers that we couldn't get, for different reasons. There's a lot lying beneath the surface when it comes to our reasonings for choosing not to have kids, or to wait til later, or to adopt. A lot of pain, a lot of fear, a lot of confusion, and quite honestly? A lot of disinterest in several of the things that come with carrying a child and raising one. Episode 129 delves into a few more unfiltered truths of the mothering wound – those lasting impressions etched by our mothers, whether born from absence, emotional detachment, or unresolved yearnings  – and how it can affect your choice as an adult to go down the path of being a mother yourself. What happens when you start to rethink motherhood? Is there a cut off? When is it too late? Who was your mother before she was your mother? And what if you never get to find out? The time period we're both in right now (late 20's) is so heavily marked by the yearning for autonomy and the societal expectations surrounding embracing parenthood. When is society going to celebrate the choice to NOT have a baby? What if the key to you changing your mind lies in pressing a little harder on the bruise to see what caused it?

Ever wondered exactly how a freelancer ends up doing what they do? How do they get clients? How do they pay taxes? How do they price their services? HOW?! Yeah....we wondered the SAME SHIT. But then we went ahead and started doing it anyway. We've talked here and there about our "real" jobs + our freelancing side gig (we refuse to use the term "hustle" because, ew) here and there on the pod, but we've never talked about the fear of stepping into the unknown when it comes to setting your own prices, hours, and due dates. So many of you are entrepreneurs and small business owners, or have expressed interest in jumping into this kind of life, so here's a little tidbit of what it's like!

Imagine what 12 year old you would think of you today. What'd you want 4 years ago that you have now, and no longer think twice about? Look around you. Is it a house? A big kitchen? Food on the table? A loving partner who accepts and supports you? What have you come into that you were actively manifesting for yourself ages ago? We've said before that asking the universe to "show you how good it gets" can invite a world of change and positivity that you never even thought possible. So today we're talking all about how we practice gratitude and how sometimes out of nowhere, it can really hit you just how happy you truly are.

A new job. A new home.  A new city.  Moving on in life is hard.  Physically and emotionally, it takes a toll on your body that can leave you feeling wave after wave of exhaustion mixed with nostalgia, hope, sadness, relief, worry, frustration and anxiety.  But at some point, we all have to move on.

Hello hello witches!  This week on the show, we're diving deep into the dark hole that is stagnation. Why do we chase the feeling of "new" or "exciting" when nothing necessarily negative is happening in our lives? Why isn't right now good enough? Have we arrived, or are we always in a state of travel? We're changing a few things with our posting schedule!  New episodes will be going live on Friday at 7AM EST moving forward. We have found that recording super long episodes, editing, and doing all the behind-the-scenes writing/scheduling across platforms really does take time that we don't always have before Wednesdays! So, Friday at 7AM EST, we'll brighten your day as you slide into the weekend, and we'll also be alternating content on a weekly basis. One week will be witchy shit, the next week will be us girl talkin' it up. We want to make sure there is something for all of our listeners to look forward to, and no, we won't take offense if you prefer one type of content over the other. ;)  Join the Witchful Thinking Cozmic Coven & be a part of a private witch community.
