Shannon and Laura chat with Stacey Demarco, returning for her 8th time Turns Out She's a Witch! Stacey is one of Australia’s most well known modern witches, ritualists and teachers of practical magic. The author of numerous bestselling books on contemporary witchcraft and seasonal living, Stacey is widely recognised for making ancient magical traditions accessible, grounded and relevant to everyday life. Her new book, 'Love Magic: Attract, Connect, Protect’ explores the many forms of love through a magical lens - romantic love, self love, friendship and connection to life itself. With her signature blend of ritual, folklore, psychology and practical spell crafting, Stacey guides readers through the three key currents of love magic: attracting aligned connection, deepening authentic bonds, and protecting emotional and energetic wellbeing in relationships. We’re delighted to welcome Stacey as our final interview guest (yes there is a special announcement at the start of this episode!) to talk about all things love, magic, boundaries, and what it truly means to create conscious, empowered connection in modern life.

Join us for a mind-opening conversation with Nikki Loy, a West Sussex-based creative consultant, illustrator, musician, and author who crafts a life from art, intuition, and manifestation. From a converted library bus studio, Nikki shows how art journaling can be a magical, practical toolkit for transforming dreams into reality. Her book, The Book of Magical Manifestations, invites readers to see creativity as more than self-expression—it's a world-creating practice that shapes our lives. We explore imagination as a sacred faculty, the idea of creative flow as a vortex of manifestation, and the idea of a ‘Glitch Log’— creating a record of those uncanny synchronicities that hint at a larger magic at work. Nikki offers grounded guidance for anyone drawn to this path, including tips for those who don’t feel “artistic enough,” and shares twenty years of experiments that keep mystery alive.

Shannon and Laura chat with Niki Taylor, creator of 'A Magickal Mind'. Niki is a counsellor, coach, cottage witch and Western herbal medicine student. Her work blends therapeutic support with ritual, intuition, plant wisdom and a deep connection to the natural world - inviting clients that find their way to her, to slow down and embrace a more intentional, enchanted way of living... Episode highlights include: what the word “witch” means to Niki, the origins of A Magickal Mind, balancing practical therapy with magic, simple ways to weave everyday magic, the impact of plants on spirituality and ritual, lessons from running a spiritual business, and what Cottage Witchery looks like daily. Also Niki’s Divine Tool of the Week! Tune in for warm, grounded conversation that blends therapy, herbs, ritual & magick!

Shannon and Laura welcome back Carly Mountain psychotherapist, somatic sex therapist, yoga teacher, breathworker, and Womancraft author. Her new book, Untamed Pleasure, reframes pleasure as an innate energy to be reclaimed, rather than earned, blending therapeutic insight with embodied practice and real life stories. Carly, Shannon and Laura talk about how pleasure can deepen intimacy, self expression, confidence and connection, and what it means to live your life a little more untamed through pleasure, Eros and embodiment. We dive into big questions like: what ‘cages’ still bind modern women around desire, and how can we return to our truest, pre conditioned selves? Why does healing often require meeting discomfort, and how does voice connect to deeper pleasure? Carly also shares her six body framework (thank you Carly!) and offers a practical takeaways to help you move through the world with more aliveness - and untamed pleasure.
