Join us as we jump into 2026 with a splash of our classic witchy flair—going live from Podbean (after overcoming a few “techie witch” glitches). After a short holiday break, but honestly, a LONG break for us (not having our daily sister talks feels like YEEEEAAARS), we’re finally back together to reflect on the wild ride that was 2025: its challenges, growth, and unmistakable witchy lessons. (2025, after all, was a NINE year in numerology—a year of CONCLUSIONS, and wow, did we feel it!) Highlights from this episode include: Taming the Tech Goblins: Ashley’s tech-savvy problem-solving shines as she navigated those quirky app issues—because let’s be real, every modern witch needs a workaround spell or two! Witchy Wisdom and Radical Reflection: We dive into deep discussions about the exhaustion of starting a new year post-holiday chaos, collective stress, and how we’re coping with global and political turmoil. Insights from Therapy Jeff, our personal stories, and our resilience practices abound (with a sprinkle of swearing, because “fuck” is still totally a form of joy). 2025 in Review—the Nine Year of Completion: We share the powerful, sometimes painful cycles we closed—a year for letting go of playing small, breaking free from restrictive systems, and stepping into authentic power and intuitive leadership. Witchy Magic at Home: We re-envision home as a source of sanctuary and support, sharing our practical tips for boosting coziness, creating magical spaces, and curating everyday joy—especially once Christmas comes down. Sweet Surprises & Mystical Moments: Spirits, thin veils, and symbolic animal encounters (hello, New Year’s Eve coyote!) made timely appearances for both of us, reminding us of the magic in the everyday—and the importance of staying connected to intuition and nature. Looking Ahead to 2026—Year of the Fire Horse: We forecast themes of power, community, action, collaboration, and self-reliance, emboldened by the astrological energies and a splash of that Leo fire. Authentic Community & Boundaries: We reflect on just how vital it is to find your people, hold fierce boundaries, and let in peace—not drama—as a form of self-preservation and empowerment. Tune in for inspiration, laughter, catharsis, and our blend of unmistakably witchy vibes woven into the everyday. Whether you’re plotting your next cozy home project, navigating big life changes, or simply seeking connection, this episode is your reminder that magic is everywhere—especially when you claim your power and spread a little joy. Don’t forget to leave us a review, share with your witchy sisters, and join us next week for YOUR witching hour. We'll see you there! XO PS.
