As someone who recently started dating again, I’m very grateful that Myisha Battle, a sex therapist and one of the guests of Between the Worlds podcast, wrote this book. It’s empowering and inspiring because it gives me the sense that relationships and dating COULD ACTUALLY BE FUN.
Call me jaded but for a long while I simply didn’t see how that was possible.
This book is helping me dust myself off and put my red cowboy boots on. If relationships are your thing, you’ll want to grab a copy of “This is Supposed to Be Fun”, here.
Look out world, here we come!
Okay, so, first of all, I have perpetually swollen sinuses (and no, I won’t get rid of my cats, thank you very much). Second of all, I get periodic obsessions that I’m losing my memory (when in fact I’ve always had a scattered short term memory. ADHD thing. You know). Third, as I get older I get determined to keep my energy up via nutrition — there are so many things I want to do! Hence this book “They Anti-Inflammatory Diet & Action Plans” by Dorothy Calimeris & Sondi Bruner. Here’re some things I like about it:
The recipes are really yummy. Crunchy and flavorful. Love that crunch!
There are 3 diet plans (this isn’t a lose-weight type diet, it’s a get healthy and umm… non-inflamed… is that a word? type diet).
1 of the 3 diet plans is a 15 MINUTES OR LESS diet plan!! Huzzah in all directions! I’ve finally found my happy place. They only take a wee bit longer to make than a bowl of popcorn. I can do this.
Finally, here’s an interesting thing it said in this book…
“People often crave sugar or carbs when protein-deficient, crave chocolate when they need magnesium, reach for French fries when they need healthy fat, and dive into salt snacks when they require minerals.”
Did you know that? I mean it seems obvious when you think about it but… I hadn’t. I tried having a few bites of chicken when I was craving chocolate almond Pocky and… it worked!
QUEEN OF CUPS, SONG OF THE SIREN: CHANTS, PRAYERS, AND INVOCATIONS BETWEEN THE WORLDS WORKSHOP*
In this course, you’ll learn how to call your longings into being through the timeless art of prayer, chanting, and invocation. You’ll create spells and rituals simply by using your voice, with the tarot as your guide.
By the time you complete this course you’ll be able to offer prayers at your gatherings, write chants to help you access your intuition, and devise invocations to call your intentions into being.
Inspired by the Queen of Cups tarot card, this workshop will teach you to access your inner muse, awaken your creative spirit, and use your voice as a tool for meditation and magic so you can share offerings with the world.
Course material for Queen of Cups, Song of the Siren Workshop drops on 06/28/23.
Our live workshop takes place Sunday, July 30, 2023 at 11am PT. The replay will be available within 24 hours.
*PLEASE NOTE: This is a Between the Worlds podcast workshop (not a Mystery Cult workshop) so Mystery Culters don’t get any special deals because… it’s a whole ‘nuther project! But it’s still great, you’ll still love it, and you should still take it!

Chai Breakfast Smoothie Recipe
Okay, so, I’m obsessed with smoothies. When I put off eating all morning in a distraction spiral and suddenly remember that within 5 minutes I can have an actual meal in my hand that tastes like a milkshake??? It’s happy dance time. I LOVE SMOOTHIES. I’m not afraid to say it.
I also love chai. Give me a cinnamon spicy thing any day of the week. I love warming foods, and so even though smoothies are cool they FEEL warm when they’ve got that spice!
That these spices are anti-inflammatory and delicious just feels so magical to me.
