Pumpkin Rituals, Sage-Scented Sanity & Vanquishing Energy Vampires—From Summerween to Halloween and Everything In Between

Returning guest Spooky Melanin Magic is back with cozy chaos, full-moon rituals, and the unapologetic art of protecting your peace.
Totally tapped out but still trying to feel festive this fall?
Same. Let’s fix that.
This week, nurse practitioner and paranormal investigator Bianca Pierre Louis (aka Spooky Melanin Magic) returns to talk all things ghosts, gourds, and grounding. From Halloween film cameos to candlelit rituals, she’s bringing spooky season magic—and some serious self-care reminders.
Big mood: Radical joy isn’t a luxury. It’s a life skill. Especially when your nervous system is running on fumes.
In this episode:
✨ Summerween is a thing – July 5th hits and Bianca’s spooky switch flips
🎥 Halloween movie moment – She’s on-screen and overjoyed
🍂 Apple picking, pumpkin beer, corn maze chaos – Fall is her full-body love language
🧼 Sage, smoke & sacred space – Her nightly ritual is chef’s kiss
💸 Energy is currency – Watch those emotional overdraft fees
🧠 Morning magic – 10 calm minutes > 10 chaotic hours
🥣 Trader Joe’s therapy trip – Butternut mac ‘n cheese, anyone?
📿 Crystals, candles, clarity – Woo-woo with a why
😮‍💨 “Damn, that’s crazy” x3 – Time to wrap up the rant, babe
🚪 Permission to peace out – Clip the convo, exit the energy, save yourself
This episode’s a cozy coven call-in—equal parts comfort and clarity, with a pinch of pumpkin-spiced protection. Wrap yourself in a scarf, light something that smells like fall, and hit play.
