In this soul-stirring episode, we step into the mist and mystery of Scottish fae folklore, exploring the haunting tale of the changeling and what it reveals about the parts of ourselves we've hidden away. This is not the glittery, winged fairyland of modern imagination, but the ancient, wild realm of the Good Neighbours, beings who dwell in the in-between and reflect our shadows with eerie clarity.
Join Carrie by the metaphorical fireside for:
~ A dramatic retelling of a Scottish changeling story
~ Deep spiritual reflection on what it means to feel “othered” or out of place
~ A thoughtful guide to working with the fae respectfully
~ A gentle ritual to reconnect with your inner magic and the parts of you left behind
Whether you've always felt a little like a changeling yourself, or you're curious about how mythology can guide shadow work and soul retrieval, this episode invites you to listen not just with your ears, but with your intuition.
“Be kind to the forgotten parts, they’re usually the most magical.”
