  • Alchemy and the Everyday Magic
    Oct 23 2025
    Have you ever had one of those conversations that starts so casual and ends up changing how you see everything? Stacy and Daynah talk about creating from a place of joy instead of productivity, learning to reframe overwhelm, and finding meaning in the messy overlap between science and soul. They explore intuition, belief, and the art of holding space for both logic and magic. And then Daynah shares a story so powerful it defies explanation - a real moment of intuition that changed everything she believed about coincidence, timing, and what connects us. By the end, they land on what might be the truest form of alchemy: choosing joy, staying curious, and finding wonder in the things we can’t explain. 0:00 | Perimenopause brain and finding lost phones 3:00 | Overwhelm, reframing, and finding creative joy 6:00 | Joy as a form of wealth 8:00 | Indigenous roots of community and commerce 10:00 | Disney, feminism, and representation 17:30 | Respectful disagreement and conscious consumerism 19:00 | How to talk across political divides with empathy 25:00 | Astrology, intuition, and the science of energy 32:00 | Daynah’s intuition story that defies explanation 40:00 | Processing trauma and the limits of what we can know 45:00 | Kindness, joy, and human connection as universal truths 47:00 | Introducing Mission Alchemists 55:00 | Candles, Enneagrams, and the art of creating something beautiful 57:00 | Wrap-up (and a tease for the bonus Taylor Swift episode) Find Stacy: ⁠⁠⁠⁠realeverything.com⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠instagram.com/realstacytoth⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠missionmakersart.com missionalchemists.com Learn more about your ad choices.
