    Sustaining Meaning in The Art Life with Mary Lattimore (Harpist)

    For our 50th episode, we have an extra special guest who I was so honored to speak with: musical artist/harpist Mary Lattimore! Mary’s ethereal instrumental music, particularly her 2020 album Silver Ladders, was a cornerstone of my self-care in pregnancy, and I’ve been a massive fan ever since. Mary joined me virtually from her home in Los Angeles to discuss her favorite ways to build and nurture community and sustain inspiration in her artistry, the scoop on her favorite artist residencies, dreaming as a form of processing the nightmare that is the current political climate in the US, lucid dreaming, and oh so much more! With permission from the artist and her management, this episode includes a snippet from Mary’s forthcoming song, “A Lock of His Hair Under Glass” This episode touches on the following topics: The Aces in Tarot (specifically the Ace of Wands) Sustainable artistic practices Building an artistic community The value of practicing various art forms in an unskilled way Where to find artist residency programs Artistic inspiration through nature and unfamiliar environments Animism relating to musical instruments The arts as political resistance Dreaming as a way to process our deep emotions Lucid dreaming School of Song and their amazing Brian Eno workshop (!!) The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron Your Brain on Art by Susan Magsamen and Ivy Ross Follow Mary’s work and various projects here and here!

    Understanding the Natal Chart with Becca Neighbor (Astrologer and Singer/Songwriter)

    On our latest episode, I interview Becca Neighbor: Astrologer and Singer-Songwriter about making sense of the Natal Chart (aka Birth Chart) in Astrology! Her intuitive method of reading the birth chart highlights key placements illustrating the blessings and challenges inherent in each chart, with the goal of enhancing self-awareness and self-compassion. We also discuss Becca’s journey in navigating her neurodivergent brain, tarot and astrology as shadow work tools, and symbols of the divine feminine in dreams. Enjoy! Becca’s song featured in the episode is “Losing Grip” Follow Becca’s work and various projects here! ⁠⁠⁠⁠Psyche Magic Website, Socials and more!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ More on Becca Neighbor: Twangy, laid-back melodies with a cosmic twist. Drawing from indie rock, folk, country, and pop influences, Neighbor’s music is a glittery fusion inspired by the Wizard of Oz, her Taurus rising, Nada Surf’s “Blonde on Blonde”, and Patsy Cline on vinyl. Neighbor’s Nashville yellow brick road led her to tour managing outlaw country artist and “Highway Queen” Nikki Lane, who graciously gave her an acoustic set at the Stagecoach music festival in 2018. A few years later she managed Dualtone record label’s artist curated vinyl subscription service Magnolia Record Club. When the tornado of 2020 kicked off her Saturn return she found herself back in Ohio for a few years to reconnect. In 2022 she made her eventual return to music city with a fresh perspective and a desire to create. Recently she has been helping behind the curtain of the local non-profit Girls Write Nashville, launching her astrology business, and will be releasing new music in fall of 2024!
