Mystics & Broomsticks Podcast

Have you ever had a deep rage manifest of behalf of a younger version of yourself? Perhaps an injustice - where the offender got off consequence-free? Tap into your rage and join in for this episode. 

Melanie is an incredible reiki teacher - one that is able to unearth your own unique energetic signature and integrate that into your practice. If you've been considering ways to develop your own energetic practice, perhaps there's something here for you. Melanie details her origins in reiki and how it's shifted and changed as she's continued to practice and teach over the years. 

Have you ever had a Thai Yoga Massage? Maybe this is your sign to try it. It's like nothing else out there. 

I won't tell you what to believe... but I will share with you the experiences that have led me to question my beliefs, in addition to those that validate that we as a society don't have it all figured out. There's still so much to learn, and I wonder if in the future we'll have a better handle on what energy manipulation truly is and how it works. But for now, it's MAGICK. 

Revisiting a topic with a new lens and perspective. What I once thought was a little overdone... I now can't do enough of!   Let me know what your thoughts are on this. And the book I referenced but couldn't find the title to: Protection Magick: Spells for Defence by Cassandra Eason

This episode is honestly embarassing. But Mel said to post it! So here it is. Come see me in all my emotional, muddled glory. Trying to navigate through my muddy feelings. 

Join Melanie and special guest Jennifer Rurka talk about the SIT method that Jennifer uses when working as a Perception Facilitator with her clients and how she founded it through her own healing work. The See It Through method is a powerful and transformational approach to feeling and healing. You can learn more about it in Jennifer's book Soul Centered.

I was a guest on Rebecca Meisl's podcast: The Spiritualist. We had a great conversation that delved into the tarot and intuition. Please consider following her on social media - and check out her podcast and her new book! 

How do you know when you're stuck and what do you do about it? We have all felt stuck at times (maybe most of the time) in life and not sure how to break out of the stagnancy, circumstances and experiences that seem to be causing the feelings of "stuck". Tanya is brave in this one and shares her feelings on being stuck. 

In this episode we talk about how to protect yourself from jealousy, why we think it happens to us and how this impacts your inner child. Not everyone gets jealous for the same reasons and we dig deeply into our own jealousy to share what we think is underneath it. 

During this episode I talk about my experience with anxiety - how it manifests in my body, why it's there and what I'm doing about it.  I touch on spiritual bypassing in the form of meditation and how my life was being ruled by feelings that were programmed from old as dirt stories that are in need of a major overhaul - Mel

We had some laughs while exploring our toxic traits - and naturally digressed (as we do) into various other topics including the moral debate of whether it's okay to hex/curse people and send out the bad juju, the power of sex magick - and some other fun twists and turns along the way. What better way to bring in the New Year than with a little spice? 

Kaicee Redpath is our special guest today! Tanya and Kaicee get into the power of reading fiction; and how developing your imagination also helps to develop your intuition. If you're looking for some good reads to take in over the holidays - stay tuned. We'll offer up a few of our favorites, and a couple to stay away from. 

Yule is on the way! An episode for my baby-witches and my witch-curious peeps. Perhaps you want to bring your spirituality into the holiday season but are unsure how to do that. I've given you a handful of little things you can do to make your season a little more magical. 

I found a Yule Ritual that I am so excited about so I am giving you the details here. If you decide to try it, make sure you send me a message and let me know how it goes for you! 

Our special guest Midnyte Sun shares a wealth of information on witchcraft, the importance of grounding and protection, who is a 'witch'? And so much more.

In this episode, Tanya and I take another crack at what's really going on under the surface of people pleasing. For myself, my view of why I do it changed from when we were originally talking about doing this episode and it took me a bit by surprise during our chat.  Would it shock you to think of a people pleaser as a control freak? Or someone who inherently thought of themselves as "bad" and trying to change the narrative of how they're seen. We dig into all of this inside here, plus a whole lot more!   Join us and let us know if you're a people pleaser - why you do it. We love connecting with you all

Tamara McLellan is a lionhearted woman, mother, sister, daughter, one half of the Wild Sky Sisters, and founder of Wild Breath.  She has taken the celebration of weddings and turned them into a whole ceremony that represents the life and death that is born out of a wedding. When two individuals merge to create a life together, aspects of their old selves and lives must die. As a wedding celebrant and death doula, she took this and made a wedding a sacred act of life and death, honoring both in equal weight.  If you're getting married, you won't want to miss this episode, what Tamara has to say may speak directly to your heart. Heck, it even has me wanting to get married again!

Shelley Duret of Transitions with Shelley gives us an in-depth take on the grieving process, transitioning from life to death, and all the in-betweens of the process. 

A follow-up to the first episode on Broke Girl's Guide - I had some really interesting things happen and I wanted to share the journey with you!
