Kate Belew and I met in July of 2018 on Governors Island in New York City. We were both members of The Poetry Brothel-an immersive art, esoteric, and burlesque production that still exists internationally today. Kate, a poet in the show, and me the card reader for the brothel’s monthly productions.

I was just starting my business and Kate was doing social media consulting for a witchy shop we both frequented in lower Manhattan.

All these years later I wanted to celebrate the launch of Kate’s second book Word Witch with an episode where we get into our favorite ritual magick! As Kate’s first business coach when she decided to go out on her own all this years ago—Kate was int he very first round of my mastermind—it is so exciting to get to watch the iterations of her work. From co-conspirators as “poetry whores” in the brothel to badass business owners and friends, our journey is one I cherish!

I hope you love this episode! Guest episodes are always my favorite (because I don’t have to research anything and I just get to talk to cool people!)
