TW: This episode does discuss addiction and death, as well as other dark themes that may be triggering for some. Listen at your own discretion. There's a lot going on, both in our personal lives and in the world as a whole right now, and we're feeling it. Heavy. Although this episode leans more into a very serious, personal event, there's some comedic relief. Mainly because we're us. And we just can't end an episode without acting like a couple of 14 year olds.🖤 Join the Witchful Thinking Cozmic Coven & be a part of a private witch community. (It's free!)

In this episode, we dive into the magic of Mabon, the Autumn Equinox, where day and night come into perfect balance. We’ll explore the deeper symbolism of light and dark, reflecting on how these dual energies show up in our lives (while goofing off, as per usual. We throw our whole harvussy into it, guys.) From Mabon’s roots in Pagan traditions to the myth of Persephone’s descent into the underworld, we’ll uncover how this season invites us to pause, reflect, and restore balance. Plus, Brooke shares a simple ritual (sans chicken nuggets) to help you align with the energy of the equinox and find harmony within. Tune in for insights, reflection, and a little seasonal magic!

We’re jumping headfirst into twin flame lore this week, people! What are they? Why do so many people have the wrong (and unhealthy) idea of what they are? Do we even believe in them? There are so many questions to answer, and a whole lot of opinions floating around on the internet (some from you!) that we wanted to address! Lindsay and Brooke discuss the wild ideologies that surround the phenomena of twin flames as well as spotlighting celebrities who have proclaimed they’re in twin flame relationships. We also share stories about previous relationships, spiritual bypassing, and the toxicity that surrounds the Twin Flame Universe.

B is for: Buttrock Br*ke Bad words we don't say Brooke's singing career We've developed a sort of online/digital fatigue since 2020, and after watching Raw Beauty Kristie's video about how instant gratification has made creating content so incredibly grueling, we started thinking...is this how we've started to treat manifesting for our greatest good? If we don't get something immediately, are we just turned off of the idea of manfesting altogether? When did we get so goddamn tired? Want your question or story featured on the show?

Once upon a time, we had a mothering series that we loved soooo much, we had to *kinda* bring it back. If you listened to that series (or you've just been around for a while!) you know already that there's a lot we wanted for ourselves from our mothers that we couldn't get, for different reasons. There's a lot lying beneath the surface when it comes to our reasonings for choosing not to have kids, or to wait til later, or to adopt. A lot of pain, a lot of fear, a lot of confusion, and quite honestly? A lot of disinterest in several of the things that come with carrying a child and raising one. Episode 129 delves into a few more unfiltered truths of the mothering wound – those lasting impressions etched by our mothers, whether born from absence, emotional detachment, or unresolved yearnings – and how it can affect your choice as an adult to go down the path of being a mother yourself. What happens when you start to rethink motherhood? Is there a cut off? When is it too late? Who was your mother before she was your mother? And what if you never get to find out? The time period we're both in right now (late 20's) is so heavily marked by the yearning for autonomy and the societal expectations surrounding embracing parenthood. When is society going to celebrate the choice to NOT have a baby? What if the key to you changing your mind lies in pressing a little harder on the bruise to see what caused it?

ALL THE SHIT MOM DIDN'T TELL YOU: A Limited Series There's a million and one things that a woman's vagina can do besides give birth. And a lot of 'em? Aren't fun. At. All. Let's face it - we tend to air it allll out on this show. The good, the bad, the ugly, and the downright PAINFUL. Because everything valuable we've learned about our bodies, we've learned in the past 7 years or so (thanks to the good ole internet and the normalization of women's bodies on social media) we realize that there are probably a LOT of you out there who learned sh*t the hard way, or haven't learned it at all, either.

Ever wondered exactly how a freelancer ends up doing what they do? How do they get clients? How do they pay taxes? How do they price their services? HOW?! Yeah....we wondered the SAME SHIT. But then we went ahead and started doing it anyway. We've talked here and there about our "real" jobs + our freelancing side gig (we refuse to use the term "hustle" because, ew) here and there on the pod, but we've never talked about the fear of stepping into the unknown when it comes to setting your own prices, hours, and due dates. So many of you are entrepreneurs and small business owners, or have expressed interest in jumping into this kind of life, so here's a little tidbit of what it's like!
