    Episode 101: Channeling a Novel: Tarot, Past Lives & Reinvention with Kelly O’Hern

    Author and intuitive storyteller Kelly O’Hern joins Everything and Anything… and a Bit Gay to share how a health crisis, divorce, and a deck of tarot cards led her to channel an entire novel series—Arcanum. We dive into the craft and mysticism of using the Major Arcana to map past lives—from ancient Egypt to Renaissance Europe—why she fictionalized those visions into an accessible heroine, and how faith can evolve beyond organized religion. Zach opens up about his own mediumship training and the uncanny “light” signs from his late father, sparking a grounded conversation about what happens after we die, soulmates vs. partners, and why midlife isn’t a crisis—it’s a creative relaunch (especially for women 40+). Inspiring, curious, and deeply human, this episode bridges spirituality, storytelling, and self-reinvention.

With 28 years of sobriety under his belt, he reflects on the crucial turning point that transformed his life. Bill emphasizes the importance of understanding our LGBTQ+ history and leaves the next generation with a powerful two-word message: 'F*****g vote.' Beyond survival, Bill is a creator and do-gooder, known for the sketch-comedy cult favorite Heavily Medicated Fairy Tales, the indie film Paradise: A Town of Sinners & Saints, and his uplifting book Uncle Bill’s Animal Tales: Life Lessons for Adults.
