Show Notes
Actors Helen George and Yvette Robinson join Gaby for a natter about all things joy! The two friends have launched a new podcast - Mystic Mates - in which they will explore mystical happenings and supernatural situations through meaningful conversations, light-hearted laughs and wild personal stories. Featuring special guests, readers and real-life stories from their audience.
Helen & Yvette first met performing together in the West End, however it was their interests in the esoteric that forged their friendship in the stars. After buying a pack of tarot cards in Covent Garden twenty years ago, their love for the spiritual realm has helped them navigate two decades worth of love, loss, grief and many unexpected turns that life has thrown their way. However, they’re not alone. In fact, a YouGov poll showed that over 40% of British women said they’d had a tarot reading, as cards and witches spells fill the shelves of high-street shops. Gaby delves into their hilarious and heartwarming stories from twenty years of friendship, as well as unpacking how their spiritual beliefs have lifted them up during troubling times and the spiritual encounters which have led to some of their happiest moments including how an intention setting session at a New Years party led Helen to meeting ’the one’ the following day!
