In this deeply heartfelt episode, Taylar sits down with one of her oldest friends, Madison, for an honest conversation about growing up, addiction, healing, and the messy beauty of transformation. What unfolds is a powerful story of resilience, friendship, and reclaiming self-worth after years of struggle.

Together, they reflect on childhood experiences that shaped their relationships, self-image, and the paths they took through adolescence and early adulthood.

In this heartfelt episode, we sit down with Christine for a vulnerable and inspiring conversation about her life journey — from growing up in a complex family dynamic to navigating love, identity, and faith on her own terms.

Christine opens up about the experiences that shaped her, including the challenges of parenting on the move as a military spouse, returning to school to pursue social work, and the inner healing that led her to become a therapist. We talk about trauma, anxiety, and the healing power of EMDR therapy, as well as the spiritual threads that have always been present in her life.

She also shares about her podcast Unexplained Oregon, where she and her best friend dive into the creepy, mysterious, and unexplainable side of the Pacific Northwest — bringing in their own humor, curiosity, and love of the weird.

This one is for anyone on a path of self-discovery, healing, and learning to trust their own voice.

*We had too much fun gossiping and gabbing with Alyssa that this episode is broken into 2 parts ~ This is part 2..go back and listen to part 1!

In this episode, we’re joined by the fabulously iconic Alyssa Polinsky — her instagram is where astrology gets dressed up in designer and spills the Bravo-flavored tea. 🫖

Alyssa is your go-to astrologer for all things stylish and unhinged. She’s the creator of StarsxAlyssa, where birth charts meet Bravo, fashion gets cosmic, and every Mercury retrograde is a meme waiting to happen. 💅✨

From Venus sign styling tips to zodiac roast sessions, Alyssa blends astrology, pop culture, and 20+ years of fashion experience into content that’s equal parts chic and chaotic. You might’ve caught her on Summer House or heard her hot takes on your fave podcasts—but really, she’s just here to make the stars make sense (and look good doing it). 💁‍♀️

Whether you're astrology-obsessed, Bravo-addicted, or just here for the laughs and lewks, this episode is serving it all.

Buckle up, witches — 2025 is not a quiet year in the cosmos. In this episode, Taylar and I dive deep into the major astrological transits unfolding this year, including the powerful planetary shifts that only happen once in a generation (or longer). With several outer planets moving into new signs, we’re entering a brand new era — collectively and personally.

We explore what these long-term planetary transits mean, reflect on historical moments from the last time these energies moved through the zodiac, and share how this wisdom can help us prepare, stay grounded, and find hope through times of transformation.

If you’ve been sensing that something major is in the air — you’re right. But don’t worry: we’re in this together. Let’s navigate the stars with curiosity, courage, and a little witchy magic.
