"Self-care is the opening towards a spiritual practice and the key to healing."
This week I'm joined by picture book writer-illustrator and oracle Priyanka Vashee (@gulabimagic) to talk about her spiritual journey, my spirit guides, the difficulty and power of shifting mindsets and our paths to finding picture books, and subsequently, each other.
We talk about Captain Bartlett, the leader of Andy's spirit council, and the joyful afterlife. We change roles, as the ever-caring, empathetic and understanding Priyanka plays host to a dose of Andy therapy. We also discuss Priyanka's "breathless" experience with COVID, her career change, the shame and embarrassment associated with difficult things and "psychic stuff." Is a technical glitch really spiritual intervention? How did Priyanka's journey start with a terrible palm reading? Why is it so hard to believe in yourself when that is so clearly the thing we need most?
We attempt to explore these questions and more.
