    My friend recommended me this podcast, and the episodes I’ve listened to, that spoke to my interest and journey, are just spot on! Lovely brutally honest, loving the perspective of sharing this knowledge and experience both for yourself and also for your daughter. My fave so far is the episode on “The arrogance of too much empathy” <3

  • Instructive and clarifying parallels

    As a middle-aged man who grew up in a new age cult community, in a dysfunctional family with narcissistic and immature parents, and who endured well into adulthood a dynamic of scapegoating and gaslighting that resulted in an undeveloped and inauthentic self, Mollie’s podcast has helped me to understand myself in capacity that years of therapists and pharmacology never could. Do not agree with everything, and some themes do not resonate as much as may well for others, but this podcast was a crit... more

    The episode on Mary Magdalene is probably my favorite one (and I’ve been listening to this show for years). I’m entering my first Saturn return and have found myself coming back to teachings that soothed me when I was in my early 20s. Sometimes I think twice before I take something as a sign, but not today. 🌀

  • One of my favourite podcasts

    I discovered Mollie years ago back when she first started her podcast, then I came back to it after a long time. I saw how much her perspective had shifted, and I absolutely fell in love with the podcast.

    Mollie’s perspectives and knowledge has opened me up to a whole new world of spirituality and esoteric philosophy. I truely believe anything can have the power to change you if you let it, and on my journey in the last few years of life, this podcast has been one of those things that has defi... more
