    Episode 80 | Executive to Mystic: Graham Skidmore with the Harmony Health Institute

    Most people are taught to trade their real self for success - and pay for it with burnout, misery, and a life that looks good on paper but feels empty inside. Graham Skidmore says the way out is not more control, but a radical return to your authentic wiring, your gifts, and your connection to something bigger. Graham is a former Rocket Mortgage executive who built the exact life he was told to want, only to discover it was making him miserable. In this conversation with Kristal, he shares the moment everything cracked open, the healing path that followed, and why he now sees spirituality as the embodiment of the philosophical, magical, and mystical. Kristal and Graham also get into the tension between the man-made and the divine, the difference between control and cooperation, and why so many people are secretly more gifted than they realize. From clair senses and interspecies communication to the deeper meaning behind restoration, sovereignty, and unconditional love, this episode opens a door to a much bigger way of being human. If you’ve ever felt boxed in by labels, burned out by the system, or called toward a more intuitive life, this conversation is for you. It’s part permission slip, part wake-up call, and part reminder that your sensitivity may be your greatest strength. 0:24 — Meet Graham Skidmore 4:46 — From Corporate Burnout to Spiritual Awakening 14:15 — Consciousness, Spirituality & Everyday Life 20:54 — Healing, Integration & the Harmony Health Institute 30:08 — Restoration, Personal Truth & Closing Wisdom Resources Harmony Health Institute Graham Skidmore on LinkedIn

    Episode 79 | A Witch's Book of Days: Daily Practice with Victoria Raschke

    Book witchcraft, daily divination, and the art of making every day sacred - Victoria Raschke reveals how books, recipes, and ritual can turn ordinary life into a living magical practice. Victoria Raschke has built a practice that is equal parts dusty archives, kitchen magic, ancestor work, and modern witchcraft. In this conversation, the author of A Witch's Book of Days shares how she turned a lifelong obsession with books into a spiritual path, why bibliography and bibliomancy belong in the same sentence, and how she learned to trust the odd, meandering path that makes her practice uniquely hers. Discover how Victoria reads old books for guidance, why household manuals can be powerful magical tools, and how she creates daily rituals that are simple enough to survive real life. She also opens up about moving from Christian roots to Dianic Wicca, finding her way through Forest's Edge animist witchcraft, and the ongoing balance of honoring multiple traditions without flattening her own identity. Perfect for witches, seekers, book lovers, kitchen magic devotees, and anyone who wants a more grounded, sustainable way to make the everyday feel enchanted.
