Women's Abortion and Reproductive Rights - We Won't Go Back

Reflecting on the iconic "Nine to Five" documentary resonates deeply with us, as it does with so many who've witnessed the seismic shifts in women's roles throughout history. In our latest episode, the three of us – Marlena, Jamie, and Christy – celebrate Women's History Month by weaving personal family tales into a broader narrative of women's long march towards workplace equality. We laugh, we lament, and we honor the daring steps taken by women who came before us, sharing a heartfelt tribute to those who fought tenaciously for the rights and opportunities we often take for granted today.

The professional landscape for women has been a battlefield of both triumph and trial, and this episode doesn't shy away from the gritty details. From my mother's breakthrough from the automotive grind to the tech wave, to the stories of our own professional endeavors in administration and law, we lay bare the stark realities of the past and present. We stitch together the heritage of women's suffrage, the unfinished symphony of the Equal Rights Amendment, and the personal choices that define the modern woman. It's a candid look at where we've come from and the ongoing struggle for a world where one's gender doesn't dictate their professional destiny.

We wrap up our discussion with a laser-focused look at the stubborn issues of gender pay disparity and the perpetual fight against workplace discrimination. Echoing through our conversation are stories of resilience in the face of inequality – a patchwork of voices from women, the LGBTQ community, and people of color. We scrutinize the slow crawl of progress, acknowledging the strides made and the mountains yet to climb. Our episode is not just a conversation but a clarion call to listeners to join the pursuit of an equitable future, as we celebrate the courage and grit that continue to push society forward.

Welcome to a journey into the heart of spiritual exploitation. On this episode of A Witch, A Mystic & A Feminist, Marlena, Christy and Jamie discuss the labyrinth of Twin Flame Universe, a program that promises to connect you with your divine partner, but in reality, is a dangerous web of manipulation and deceit. We turn the spotlight on the questionable practices of Jeff and Shalia, the self-proclaimed Twin Flame gurus, and their uncanny ability to exploit the vulnerable under the guise of spiritual enlightenment. 

Imagine a place where 'self-love' is twisted into a tool for conformity and 'harmonious unions' are a sham for a cult-like control. That's the world we delve into today. We share our experiences and thoughts on the infamous 'mirror exercise', a manipulative tactic designed to shift blame onto the individual, and caution against the damaging effects of such teachings. The conversation takes a deeper dive as we expose the disturbing practices of Twin Flame Universe, including forced gender transitions, matchmaking within the community, and an unsettling MLM-like structure that encourages members to recruit others.

As we navigate this spiritual minefield, we identify the red flags of a potentially dangerous cult, using Twin Flame Universe as our case study. The warning signs are there - isolation from loved ones, pressure to invest in classes, and even potential sexual abuse within the organization. We end this enlightening episode with a reminder to trust your discernment when exploring your spiritual journey. Because the path to spiritual enlightenment should never involve manipulation, exploitation or harm. Tune in, and be equipped with the knowledge you need to avoid such pitfalls in your spiritual journey.
