Hey... LISTEN!


My hands were shaky as I tried to keep hold of the phone.

"Are you still there?", said my friend Julia.

"yeah.... I'm still here.", I said trying to not show the shock in my voice from the news.

"I'm going to get off the phone, now. I have to go to work.", I said almost surprising myself, with the abruptness.

I hung up the phone and took a deep breath.

I had just discovered that one of my best friends had O.D'ed just the night before. This was a shock to many that were close to him. He had been sober for a couple of years at this point.

A few day later, my coworker came up to me and very sheepishly said, "ummmm. This might sound weird, but I have a message for you. Did you have a friend that recently passed?"

"Yes." I said confused. (I'm a pretty private person, so I had not told most of my co-workers the news of my friend.)

Keep in mind, that I hadn't really been sleeping much at this point. There was always something waking me in the night. And I'm normally a very deep sleeper.

My co-worker went on to tell me that this person was keeping her up at night until she passed this message along to me. Mind you, I had no idea this co-worker was a medium. It's not info she just passed around when she met you.

The message: Listen.

Just listen to The Universe/source/God... however you want to call it.

He meant to just listen more to instincts. That the Universe was always speaking to me, guiding me. I just had to listen...really listen.

This message has always stuck with me and I find myself getting reminders to do just that....listen.

Whether you "believe" or not, if you're still reading this email, a part of you does.

I, once again, received this message.

That's a pic of page 1 of a book from my one of my internet friends,

Sawrah Amini.

Hey Reader You know those people in your life who just get you? Like, so much so that when you’re talking, the rest of the world might as well be in airplane mode? That’s my brother. He and I have always spoken our own weird little twin-language. Since we were kids. Before trauma. Before therapy. Before astrology even found me. It’s how we process the big stuff—like sobriety, identity, and the tangled mess of being human. So we decided to hit record. This week’s podcast episode is the first...

Hey you, So… quick confession: A few weeks ago, I accidentally joined a gym. Not in a “new year, new me” moment of motivation. No. This was a “I just came in to use the bathroom and somehow I’m now enrolled in a 12-month contract” kind of situation. The woman at the front desk was very persuasive. She told me I had “a good energy,” and suddenly I was nodding along like yes, I DO deserve to be the best version of myself, even though all I wanted was to not pee on the side of the road. I walked...

Howdy, Real quick. I just dropped a new episode of The ODD Witch Radio Show for you after a long and much needed break. (It's a long and personal story. Maybe, I'll share one day...) BUT... I'm back!
