    Three Wise Men and a Baby

    Three Wise Men and a Baby: Exploring the Light and Dark Masculine and Men's Self-Actualization Process Warning: this episode contains spoilers On this episode, to finish up our holiday-themed episodes, we end with a true Hallmark movie. Three Wise Men and a Baby. In this movie, I break down how two of the brothers (Stephan and Taylor) represent the main character Luke's light and dark masculine aspects, and how it is through learning to appreciate the value of the feminine that he is able to achieve what Carl Jung referred to as Individuation. Moreover, in this episode, I discuss how the story of baby Jesus itself can reflect the masculine process of self-actualization and the forgotten role of the feminine in this process.

    Why You Love Rom-Com Christmas Movies: A Yonic Perspective Caution: spoilers ahead! What is it about Christmas movies that we love so much?

    AI and the Myth of the Perfect Woman

    AI and the Myth of the Perfect Woman In this episode, we explore the myths of Pygmalion, Athena, and the tale of Echo and Narcissus, and how these three stories reflect the archetype of the “perfect woman” that men often attempt to create. These women are never based in reality, but rather, like Athena, they are born from the ideas of the men who created them. Thus, they represent the Goddess or the light feminine. With advancing technology, we are starting to see men attempt to bring their “dream women” into creation through creating female humanoid robots and artificial wombs. But is this a good thing, and what does it say about men in our society that they would rather have a robot dream woman than connect to their own humanity? P.S. Sorry, the echo (HAHA) on this episode is awful! I'm still working on getting my setup right lol.   Resources: We've Had a Hundred Years of Psychotherapy--And the World's Getting Worse The Stepford Wives Book Dark Fairy Godmother Substack Post on Henry Harlow Dark Fairy Godmother Substack Post on Chat GBT and Counseling The Heroine’s Journey Pt 1 Episode ✨Want to learn how to access your inner Goddess or Witch?

    Likability and Jealousy

    Likability and Jealousy: Two Sides of the Same Coin In this episode, we explore how the desire to be “likable” can often lead to jealousy among women and vice versa. We discuss the concept of Conditions of Worth from Person Centered Theory and how our home environments influence our interpersonal relationships. Additionally, we will examine the generational effects of the Witch Craze on women and how likability has often been associated with survival. During the second part of this episode, we flip the script and discuss the dark side of likability, exploring how it can turn into jealousy if left unchecked. We also discuss how we can use jealousy to identify our own needs, through the process of shadow work and embracing our Witchy aspects.   Resources: Back From the Borderline Podcast Episode Witches, Midwives and Nurses Book ✨Want to learn how to access your inner Goddess or Witch?

    The 4 Queens of Sex and the City Since the show first premiered in 1998 women all across the world have resonated with each of the four main characters of Sex and the City. Are you a Charlotte?

In this episode, I’ll break down which on-screen Queen from Sex and the City reflects her Minor Arcana counterpart.
