A little bit rambly today. I want to talk about what’s been percolating in my mind the last couple weeks, what I have been kind of working on, and then I want to talk about how I grew up and what my spiritual/witchy background is because I think it’s really important to help understand what my viewpoints and biases are and why I have them and how I developed them. I try to be aware of my own biases and mention them as they come out, but the nature of biases is that they’re not usually conscious, so….. I tried to keep it short, but I’m a rambly, tangenting person (thank goodness for editing!), but I’m sure you’re used to that by now.
A shout out to Karyn, the Lost Lemurian in this episode! Here’s her YouTube Channel!

Some shade thrown at Night Shayde, you can find him on the podcast Flatline 2 Beatline. I’d give you a link, but every time I do, he switches hosts and the link is no longer any good, so use Google to find him.
I talk about Mental Health in this episode! If YOU need mental health support, no shame in that. There’s a ton of resources out there, but here are some folks who can be helpful:
- The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI): 1-800-950-6264, info@nami.org. NAMI operates an emergency mental health hotline Monday–Friday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. EST. Operators can provide information about mental illness and refer callers to treatment, support groups, family support, and legal support, if needed.
- Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA): (800) 662-4357. SAMHSA runs a 24-hour mental health hotline that provides education, support, and connections to treatment. It also offers an online Behavioral Health Treatment Locator to help you find suitable behavioral health treatment programs.
- National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH): (866) 615-6464. This organization has a variety of methods for you to communicate with knowledgeable people about mental health issues. In addition to the phone line, there is a live online chat option. These resources are available Monday–Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. EST.
