How To Use Tarot While Honoring Your Mental Health Featuring Linds Cardoza
It's another Conversations with Changemakers! Today we're chatting with Linds Cardoza- oracle reader and spread creator. She writes divination spreads for people to use in their own practice for healing, growth and inner work. She’s also a mom to a 3 year old and constantly trying to heal and grow herself. We talk about how she focuses on utilizing cards to ask about the present (as opposed to the future), how important it is to prioritize your own mental health when using cards, and that we're not always ready for what we might see inside the cards.

Creating Relationships with Your Inspiration, Fear, & More: Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert
What even IS creativity?
That seems to be the question that Elizabeth Gilbert set out to answer when she wrote Big Magic. She defines creativity as a relationship between a human being and the mysteries inspiration.
Throughout her book, she creates relationships with big vague concepts like curiosity, creativity, and fear- plus other more “concrete” concepts like her passion for writing.
& if we approach our lives as a mutual relationship, not just between people, but between even the more magical things in our world- what might we discover about ourselves?

Manifesting With Trauma: Do Bad Thoughts Hold Us Back? (Luke 9:51)
Are you working on manifesting something?
Sometimes “gurus” will make it seem like it's an all or nothing type of thing- if you don't jump all in (disregarding your privilege or lack there of, current reality, or trauma) you'll just never get what you want.
So what do you do when you have big dreams but things aren't quite plausible right now? Or you're not quite sure what's next, but you've got a little inkling?
On today's podcast we're taking a look at Luke 9:51 and talking about what freeing yourself (while honoring your trauma) looks like.

It's time for another segment of Conversations with Changemakers, and today we're talking with Reiki practitioner, Energy Healer & Spiritual Counselor Jaime Stockel. We talk with Jaime about the basics of energy work: what is it? are we really contaminated by "low vibes"? should we push ourselves to clear energy that we feel unprepared to release?

How Spirit Hacking by Shaman Durek Missed the Mark
On this episode of Woo Woo Bible, we're looking at Spirit Hacking by Shaman Durek. He truly has some golden nuggets in here- juicy tidbits & practical advice.

Losing Your Spiritual Home (Luke 15:11 The Prodigal Son)
What does home mean to you?
Home is an important symbol- deeply embedded- that can represent for us safety, security, and protection.
So when the Bible makes a metaphor about home… I'm gonna guess that it's not just talking about what cabinets would match the flooring. 🧐
In today's episode of the Woo Woo Bible podcast, we're talking spiritual homes:
👉 losing your authentic self
👉 trying to control the universe
👉 finding your way back home
Metaphors are some of the most powerful ways to learn about complex topics. Today, I'm breaking down this biblical metaphor to make it easy for anyone of any faith (or none) to use in their lives.
This podcast episode summarizes the story of Luke 15:11 AKA The Prodigal Son.

Power, People Pleasing & How To Let Go of Control (Luke 6:27-35)
Today we're talking about Luke 6:27-35- a passage that can often be manipulated for people to excuse their abuse of power or control over other people. But what is it really talking about?
Jesus encourages us to STOP people pleasing, be radically good people not because of what it will get us in the end, but because we're here to make a difference on the planet.

I Don't Wanna Wait For Someone Else To Change The World (Luke 4:14)
The call for change came thousands of years ago, and you may have heard it already- so what's going on? Today, on Woo Woo Bible, we visit Luke 4:14, a commonly misinterpreted passage from the beginning of Jesus's ministry. It's easy to use this passage to pacify, and create a docile, quiet Jesus who gives you a nice little checklist for a Heavenly death if you show up to church each Sunday. But Jesus was radical, and disrupting the political and social climates of his day- just like we need to do in our own times. Can you hear the call? In this episode, get tips on how to celebrate the ways you nourish your community every single day, while gaining clarity and focus on your bigger life mission. You're a changemaker- even in the smallest moments.

Who are you? In today's episode, we're in Mark 7:24-30. We dive into the classic story of Jesus and the Phonecian woman, but with a twist.
