Welcome to the porch of an aging Southern witch.

E23: PERSEPHONE'S HOPE AND THE SEASONAL WITCH

I might be sharing too much in this one—but we’re in this together, so . . . Love y’all!

E21: FAILURE TO THRIVE AND THE SUPERWITCH

Just as soon as I’m done birthin’ chickens, we’ll stop talking about chickens. As a Southerner, my analogies will come from my daily life, y’all. Time to talk about some personal stuff, admit some failures, and trudge on into the truth about failure to thrive. (Extra side note not mentioned in the podcast: Go listen to “Sittin’ by the Side of the Road,” sung by Andie MacDowell, from the movie "Michael.” You’ll get it—iffin you listen. Love y’all.)
