“The art of healing comes from nature and not from the physician. Therefore, the physician must start from nature with an open mind.“ -- Paracelsus Tune in as returning guest Brianna Voyles and Tara talk about the nature of their “witchery” and how it was something that came to both of them naturally. Early on, it is established that Bri will carry on this episode with her vast knowledge base on several topics that some might associate with witchcraft. Listen closely as Tara recounts a spontaneous trip to Salem, Massachusetts, taken a couple of years ago with one of her sons. Bri listens as Tara tells her tale of not only that venture but also how she became inclined to look further down the narrow road of what “typical society” might define as Paganism. As the conversation progresses, it’s clear that both Tara and Bri agree that when it comes to the art of navigating oneself through this life and possibly even others, it must come from somewhere within, at least to feel that true connection. Creatively include yourself as you lean in with Brianna and Tara as they explore several topics and touch upon new terminology. In this light and in this act, Tara is the student, and Bri is the teacher. Listening to them may stimulate a new perspective as it becomes clear that, in the end, all perspectives and perceptions are pertinent. What is key is finding common ground to stand on, then exploring other paradigms together. We hope that listeners are inspired to broaden the narrow road of what “typical society” might define as Paganism and see what innately, speaks to them! So, be it the role of apprentice or mentor, let it be known that no matter who or where or what you identify with…you are certainly going to be able to find some fun as these two college friends, now collaborate creators, chit chat in an attempt to debunk stigma associated with the term WITCH!

Please pardon the interruption while these two down to earth women settle in from finally landed a figurative version of an aircraft last week. Stick with them as they navigate terrain & territory that was upon arrival, not exactly as expected. Bear with them as they bump into unexpected sound & recording quality control issues. Don’t fret or drop out yet! Tara will attest to the amount of precision & prioritization Melissa brings to the adventure; in this case, she plays the VIP role of the Sound Enchanter! So please do pardon any sound interruptions & roll with them as they push through this new “territory”, caravaning wisdom packed stories & holding conversations, embodying the role & playing the part of the covered vehicle in which these goods are stored. Stopping here and there along the way, talking and telling. Always exploring… constantly learning & as a byproduct, activating self-initiated healing. At least that is the intention of Now’s The Time Podcast: to stimulate the idea of active, radical self-love with the intention to heal as the final but never-ending target. In this week’s episode, you are invited to giggle at the banter, partake in the excitement & find some value in exploring the 150 plants that our guest Nicole Vega, (a fellow mom of teens, entrepreneur, podcaster, Youtuber & plant enthusiast) adopted & cares for! In honor of May being Mental Health Awareness Month, Nicole and Tara come together to discuss their original connection. It entails their teens who are actively working in the realm of mental health awareness, suicide prevention and advocating for the stigma of it all – ultimately to be removed. Melissa listens in as the two friends talk about how they met, what they “do” and chimes in with notes of joy as she watches them grow excited while discussing their indoor gardens! All three women partake in chitchat regarding the value of having plants in their lives; including but not limited to how it impacts their mental health maintenance & habits. Guest Nicole Vega will enrich the listener with names & verbal descriptions of some of her favorite plants & tells why! On the spot, her aptitude and ability to help is displayed as she diagnoses Melissa’s plant named Wanda & suggests tips to resolve the issue pronto! Don’t worry, updates about Wanda’s recovery will be made accordingly on socials! As always, receive a message from the oracle card reading.
