Oct 7, 202200:48:14Tap to summarizeJuju Harris spent the summer traveling solo around Italy and Croatia. She did a combination of WOOF-ing, WorkAway-ing, and house sitting, which enabled her to meet new people and make genuine connections. Now she’s back in the US and the realities of parenting adult children, property taxes, and just all-around adulting are hitting her hard. What were some of Juju's highlights and lessons learned from her sabbatical, which was a combination of a marriage sabbatical, a crone-ing, and a rebirth? And what’s next?

Transcribe →EP12: What's a Saturn Return, and what to expect
Sep 30, 202200:49:05Tap to summarizeSaturn Returns happen every 29 years or so, when Saturn returns to the same place in the sky that it was the moment you were born. So we can expect to experience a Saturn Return when we’re 30ish years old, again when we’re 58ish, and – if we should be so lucky – once again in our early 90s. I speak with astrologer Stacyann Forrester about what we can expect during these Saturn Return phases, and how best to move through them. I also touch upon the multiple planets in retrograde: Should we freak out about this? Stacyann says absolutely not!

Transcribe →EP9: A Negro Explorer at the North Pole | Story time
Aug 8, 202200:16:08Tap to summarizeThis one is a little different. I'll be reading for you the first chapter of "A Negro Explorer at the North Pole" by Matthew A. Henson, published in 1909. Matthew Alexander Henson was an African American explorer who accompanied Robert Peary on seven voyages to the Arctic. On the expedition that reached the geographic North Pole on April 6, 1909, Henson was reported to be the first person to reach the pole. Some question the veracity of this claim, but there's no doubt that Henson was an adventurer who risked life and limb to explore wild and perilous landscapes.
