In this episode, I had the pleasure of chatting with my brother, Seth, about what it was like growing up together, our wildly different interests, and the hilarious moments that defined our sibling bond. We reminisced about the times I made gift-giving easy by loving anything with skulls or yellow (yes, that’s still true) and how our clashing music tastes became a source of endless banter. Seth shared his memories of me dragging him to concerts he definitely didn’t want to attend, and we reflected on how our relationship evolved over the years, from childhood squabbles to him dressing up as Dracula to officiate my Halloween wedding. This conversation was all about family, embracing who we are, and finding humor in the journey.

Summary:
In this episode of "The Gothic Heart," I had the pleasure of chatting with the incredible Carla-Jayne, an intuitive life coach who weaves witchcraft, Tarot, and astrology into her transformative sessions. Carla-Jayne shared her journey from keeping her practices under wraps to embracing them fully, reflecting a common narrative we often discuss here. We discussed the fascinating world of moon magic and its practical applications in everyday life, exploring how the lunar cycles can influence our personal and professional endeavors. Carla-Jayne also introduced us to her unique approach with Tarot, which aids in self-discovery rather than predicting the future. It was an enlightening conversation that not only explored the depth of personal magic but also offered real, actionable insights into living more harmoniously with the natural ebb and flow of our energy.
