Description

Hosted by a crystal-loving wife & her (surprisingly insightful) husband

Welcome to The Empress and the Rock—where high vibes meet real talk. We're a wife-and-husband duo running a crystal business and spiritual learning platform, sharing the magic (and mayhem) behind living a life full of intention, intuition, and a shit load of crystal.

Every episode dives into crystal wisdom, spiritual growth, and the day-to-day hilarity of being Soul mates in both life and business. Expect unfiltered chats, a few laughs, sacred truths, and lots of sparkle.

Whether you're deep into your spiritual journey or just crystal-curious, come and join us for grounded insight, elevated vibes, and great energy—one episode at a time.

Just keep swimming! In this episode of The Empress & the Rock, we talk about thresholds. Those in-between spaces where the old way of life or working no longer fits but the new one hasn’t crystallised yet. We reflect on how we have moved away from live crystal sales and the impact that has had on us plus wider business and life changes and how transitions can unsettle us, even when they’re the right thing to do. We explore what it means to keep trusting during uncertainty and why moments ...
Imbolc, Crystals & Forced Rhubarb In this episode of The Empress and the Rock, we welcome the Imbolc and the Full Moon gently — without pressure, urgency, or the need to reinvent ourselves. As winter begins to soften and Imbolc approaches, we explore this sacred threshold between rest and renewal. A time when nothing looks fully formed, yet everything is quietly awakening beneath the surface. We share how Imbolc invites us to trust subtle momentum, honour natural rhythms in li...
In this episode of The Empress and the Rock, our conversation is about entities. We explore what entities, spirits and energetic attachments really are, how they form and why they may attach to people or spaces. Vikki draws on her real-life experience and professional practice and shares how crystal therapy is used to safely and compassionately release ghosts, spirits, and narcissistic energetic attachments — without fear, force or confrontation. We discuss how hauntings occur, the differen...
In this episode, Chris and I talk about the deeper side of crystal therapy — the kind of work that isn’t always gentle or easy, but is often profoundly healing. I share some real life experiences that show how crystal therapy can open space for deep emotional release and powerful shifts. My Crystal Healing teacher told me early in my training that my future healing sessions wouldn’t be 'nice and fluffy', but would be about working with the heavy stuff, the deep stuff, the places where real c...

Also here is a link to my treatments I offer just in case you ...
In this episode of The Empress & The Rock, we’re getting grounded — literally. From head spinning detachment & upside down triangles to tree hugging and the crystals that will root you to the floor, we explore how to keep connected. We chat about the Root Chakra and why it’s your energetic tether to feeling safe and secure, and the Crown Chakra that helps you rise and expand. How do you balance the two? How do you know when you’re not grounded (hello overthinking, clumsiness, or feeli...

Portals, Mountain Tops and Travelators! In this episode we discuss the Lions Gate Portal, a planetary travelator that gives us a massive energy boost allowing us to manifest and create. The date of the portal is linked to Chris’ birthday too, so it's especially important for us it would seam. 8.8 From Rio de Janeiro, numerology, golden rutiles on mountain tops to growing apple trees, but only on a firm footing, our conversation meanders along nicely.

Welcome to Episode 2 of the Empress & The Rock. This week we're talking morning rituals. The things Vikki (mostly) and I try to do every morning to set us up for the day.

The Messy Moments

This week we're talking about the 'messy middle' those gloriously dull moments, the bits where you're slogging, doubting, learning yet still carrying on. Those bits in life that are actually gold! We share our own messy moments and what we do and use to get through them. In order to get to the magic. I chat about my kundalini yoga pain and what that has taught me, my Sacred mornings and share my Moldavite magic moment in a very messy and painful chapter of my life. Whilst Chris shares his mom...

In this episode we discuss authenticity and how that affects your voice, whether that is through a podcast, recorded meditation or like we chatted about, listening to Billie Eilish and feeling moved by her authentic and pure voice. We chat about how to be your true self. Having "single white female moments" in a friendship or relationship and how to avoid this. We discuss which crystals can help your Throat chakra shimmer with truth allowing you to become the bright shiny star yo...
Which crystal changed your life the most? In this revealing episode, we’re diving deep into our most transformational crystal moments—the kind that cracked us wide open, woke us up, and maybe even made us cry or fart. We’ll share how morning meditation with crystals became a powerful tool to help with addiction, release, and renewal, and how YOU can use crystals to root then rise. We chat about stalky cords draining your energy, how to tap into the wisdom of your Lemurian past-life guides, an...
