Ever whispered “I’ll just skip it tonight” while staring into your bathroom mirror at midnight?
Yeah, me too.

In this heart-centered episode, I’m sharing how a late-night Amazon scroll, a canvas bag that said “Support Your Local Coven,” and a burst of unexpected creativity led me to reframe skincare as something sacred — not just a task.

We’re talking about the moment I stopped performing my skincare routine and started participating in it… as ritual, as devotion, as a way back to myself.

Whether you're soul-tired, overstimulated, or simply burned out on beauty industry BS — this episode is your permission slip to slow down, soften, and start again.

• The story of my accidental Skin Witch awakening 🕯️

• Why “routine” doesn’t work when you’re already overstretched

• The nervous system + skincare connection (hello, parasympathetic magic)

• How to ritualize your skincare in under 5 minutes

• A reminder: your glow isn’t made in a rush — it’s made in the ritual

Mercury’s back in reverse and things are getting weird ... From double-booked clients and tech tantrums to emotional skincare breakdowns and ghosts of routines past (literally and metaphorically).

In this episode, we’re diving into the chaos and cosmic insight of Mercury Retrograde, Skin Witch style. I’m breaking down what this planetary backspin actually means, how it shows up in your nervous system and on your skin, and why now is the time to chill the f*ck out, not change your entire routine.

We’ll talk treatment room stories, barrier repair basics, and retrograde-safe beauty rituals. Plus, I’m serving up a mystical little Elemental Forecast for each sign group, so you can ride the waves (or fires) with more grace and way less breakouts.

🔊In this episode:

🕯️ Skin Witch Reminder:
You don’t need to fear retrograde — you just need to slow down, stay hydrated, and maybe put the retinol down for a second.

📍 ✨ Springfield Locals — need a Retrograde Reset?
Come melt into the Ritual Reset facial — a grounding, detoxifying skin + energy clearing experience designed to help you release all the retrograde gunk (cosmic and literal).

Welcome back, babes. And if you're new here, blessed be and buckle up.

This episode is personal. It’s raw. It’s the messy, magical reintroduction I never thought I’d record.

After the loss of my brother, I stepped away from everything—podcasting, social media, marketing... all of it. But what felt like disappearing was really a deep season of shedding. Not just grief, but outdated expectations, polished personas, and beauty industry BS that never truly aligned.

In this first episode of Witchcraft & Wrinkle Cream, we talk about:

• 🌟Why I deleted my old podcast (RIP The Lively Esthetician) and started fresh

• 🌟How grief cracked me open and helped me come home to my witchy self

• 🌟The symbolism of shedding skin—emotionally, spiritually, and literally

• 🌟A guided Skin Witch ritual to help you release what no longer fits

• 🌟Why change is sacred, softness is strength, and glowing isn’t about being perfect

Plus, I pull a tarot/oracle card at the end to ground our collective transformation.

✨ Whether you’re in full bloom or still in your molting phase, you’re exactly where you’re meant to be.
