Episode Highlights
Welcome to our third cross-pollination episode, where we share space with other queer podcasters and creators. Amanda is the host of "Between the Worlds" podcast.
- We are so grateful to have Amanda Yates Garcia share some time with us. Join us for a queerly witchy saunter and exploration of the medicine of enough.
- Amanda gets us started and casts a delicious, magic circle, and then we dive in and explore.
- We get curious about our “enough’s” and spend some time both in the light and shadowy aspects, while being between the worlds.
- We get cozy naming our “enough’s” which takes us into our queer + witchy stories, potently connecting some dots.
- We close by sending a care spell out to our collective past and future selves.
