Podcasts about Chelle

Spring is here… but what, and when, exactly are we celebrating?In this episode of Back on the Broomstick, Laylla and Chelle take a deep look at the sometimes confusing relationship between Ostara and the Spring Equinox. Are they the same holiday? Two separate observances? Or two different ways of looking at the same turning of the Wheel?Chelle believes the Spring Equinox should be honored as a moment of balance, when light and dark stand in perfect equality. For her, it is a sacred astronomical turning point that invites reflection and grounding. Ostara, by contrast, represents the broader season of spring that unfolds afterward; the weeks when the earth fully awakens, flowers emerge, and life visibly returns. By separating the two, she creates space to honor both the stillness of balance and the joyful momentum of the growing season.Laylla brings the Wheel of the Year perspective, arguing that modern paganism intentionally weaves solar events and seasonal shifts together into a living spiritual rhythm rather than treating them as completely separate observances. In her view, the Spring Equinox acts as the doorway between seasons, its a liminal threshold where winter releases its hold and the growing year begins. Because the Equinox is a precise celestial moment experienced across the entire planet, she sees it as a powerful communal touchpoint, a shared sky-event that pagans everywhere can honor together. From there, the spirit of Ostara unfolds as the season itself in the gradual greening of the land, the returning birds, and the first flowers that appear at different times depending on where you live. In this way, the Equinox becomes the moment we step through the doorway together, while the weeks that follow invite us to celebrate the unique way spring arrives in our own local landscapes.Rather than a debate about who is “right,” the witches explore two powerful ways of working with the magic of spring: honoring the Equinox as the precise celestial turning point that brings the community together, while embracing the unfolding signs of spring; the first flowers, the returning birds, the thawing earth, as personal and local rituals that deepen our connection to the land.Along the way, Laylla and Chelle share how they personally celebrate the return of the light with simple seasonal practices. Laylla also shares an Equinox tarot spread designed to help you find balance between light and shadow at the turning point of the year.If you've ever wondered how history, modern witchcraft, and lived seasonal magic all fit together, this conversation offers thoughtful perspectives, practical inspiration, and a reminder that the turning of the Wheel is something we feel in our bones as much as we mark it on the calendar.So grab a cup of tea, step outside into the changing air, and join us as we explore the magic of Ostara and the sacred moment when light and dark meet in perfect balance.Got a question?

How does a business go from chaotic cash flow to spending six figures on marketing?   For Chelle Neff, owner of Urban Betty Salon, it started with eight years of barely surviving, hoping payroll would clear, and realizing that hustle alone was not a strategy. In this episode, we get into how Chelle transformed Urban Betty from booth rental chaos into a three-location, experience-led brand doing $6.3M in revenue. She breaks down exactly what she spent on marketing last year, what actually paid off, and what she would never do again. We talk about the operational structure that changed everything, the level system that created stability and career paths for her team, and the marketing lessons every service-based business needs to hear, especially if you are investing money without tracking what is actually driving new clients. This conversation walks through the real work behind scaling a service business. From rebuilding culture and systems to treating marketing like a strategic investment instead of a guessing game, Chelle shares what it really takes to grow a brand that people trust, talk about, and keep coming back to.

L’IA arrivera-t-elle à donner corps à cette fameuse personnalisation de masse en temps réel dont on parle dans le domaine du CRM depuis longtemps ? On sent nettement poindre un mouvement dans la bonne direction pour ce qui concerne le CRM marketing. Et l’IA, ô surprise, joue un rôle important dans ce virage. Les apports de l’IA agentique, en complément d’autres techniques, commencent en effet à prendre corps. Pour faire le point sur ce sujet avec des retours d'expérience précis et chiffrés je me suis entretenu avec Antoine Parizot, co-CEO de Splio. CRM et IA : Splio veut réconcilier la marque et le client IA et CRM avancent très vite en cette période d’innovation intense. Mais il ne faut pas sacrifier à la méthode explique Antoine Parizot de Splio. Image antimuseum.com par Yann Gourvennec Rien de tel qu’une interview avec un professionnel pour faire le point sur ce sujet de l’apport de l’IA dans le CRM. Une interview très ancrée dans le pragmatisme et le concret dont voici le compte-rendu. Dans cet entretien avec Antoine Parizot, co-CEO de Splio, celui-ci nous explique comment l’IA prédictive et décisionnelle transforme en profondeur les pratiques de la relation client. Entre personnalisation à grande échelle, agents intelligents et souveraineté numérique. Il existe en France un écosystème MarTech que l’on cite trop rarement. Splio en fait partie. Fondée en 2001, cette entreprise française spécialisée dans le CRM a su traverser deux décennies de transformations digitales sans perdre le cap. Aujourd’hui, elle se revendique « CRM AI First », une ambition qui ne relève pas du simple effet de manche. Antoine Parizot, co-CEO de Splio, ancien directeur général France de Microsoft, incarne cette double culture : rigueur technologique américaine, pragmatisme et ancrage européen. Lors de cet entretien, il revient sur ce que l’IA change concrètement dans la relation entre les marques et leurs clients, et sur les conditions qui permettent de lui faire confiance. Le CRM comme équilibre entre les enjeux de la marque et ceux du client Avant d’évoquer l’IA, Antoine Parizot pose une question de fond : à quoi sert le CRM ? Sa réponse tient en une tension permanente. D’un côté, la marque qui veut écouler ses stocks, remplir ses objectifs trimestriels, envoyer une campagne à toute sa base. De l’autre, le client qui ne veut pas recevoir cinq e-mails par semaine et qui, surtout, veut être reconnu. Le CRM, c’est l’équilibre entre les enjeux des marques et les enjeux des clients Le CRM, c’est l’équilibre entre les enjeux des marques et les enjeux des clients, nous explique Antoine Parizot, un exercice dans lequel l’IA peut aider le marketeur. Image produite avec Midjourney dans notre mode personnalisé. Cet équilibre était, jusqu’à présent, difficile à tenir à grande échelle. Avec un million de contacts, cinq canaux de communication possibles, dix mille références produits et plusieurs créneaux d’envoi dans la semaine, le calcul devient, selon ses propres mots, « quasiment insoluble ». C’est là qu’intervient Tinyclues, la start-up d’IA rachetée par Splio en 2023 et qui propulse désormais son offre. Sa vocation est de permettre au CRM manager de connaître chacun de ses clients individuellement et de prédire leurs comportements futurs. Voilà une tâche qu’aucun humain ne peut accomplir sur des bases de plusieurs millions de contacts. Est-ce que ce client est susceptible d’acheter dans une catégorie particulière ? Est-ce le bon moment pour lui adresser une offre de fidélisation ? Quel canal privilégier ? Ce sont ces questions, très opérationnelles, que l’IA commence à pouvoir résoudre. Quatre types d’IA, des usages distincts Splio s’appuie sur quatre types d’intelligence artificielle, dont deux sont utilisés depuis plusieurs années déjà. L’IA prédictive, d’abord, qui permet de scorer les clients et d’anticiper leurs comportements d’achat. L’IA décisionnelle, ensuite, qui arbitre la distribution des campagnes : quand on gère trente campagnes simultanées pour dix millions de clients, c’est l’IA qui décide qui reçoit quoi. « Nous sommes propriétaires de notre technologie en deep learning », précise Antoine Parizot, ce qui permet à Splio de gérer des équations multi-variables complexes (le bon message, au bon canal, au bon moment) sans dépendre de briques tierces. L’IA dans le CRM n’est pas une révolution qui supprime les marketeurs, c’est un ensemble d’outils qui, bien calibrés, permettent de faire ce que le marketing promet depuis longtemps sans jamais vraiment y parvenir : traiter chaque client comme un individu unique, au bon moment, sur le bon canal, avec la bonne offre. Imahge produite avec Midjourney dans notre style personnalisé. Deux couches plus récentes s’y ajoutent depuis 2025 : l’IA générative, pour la production de contenus, et l’IA agentique. Ce qu’il faut retenir, c’est que ces IA ne se substituent pas au marketeur. Elles lui permettent de déléguer ce que la machine fait mieux : les calculs de probabilité à grande échelle, la gestion de plans de campagne complexes. Cela lui permet de se concentrer sur ce que l’IA ne sait pas faire, c’est-à-dire créer de l’émotion, donner du sens à une marque, construire une relation dans la durée. Des résultats mesurables : de Mademoiselle Bio à TUI Les chiffres avancés par Splio sont difficiles à ignorer. Chez Mademoiselle Bio, e-commerçant dans le secteur bio, les audiences prédictives permettent de concentrer 90 % du chiffre d’affaires CRM sur 28 % de la base client. Dit autrement, en ciblant les bons acheteurs plutôt qu’en arrosant toute la base, les résultats sont meilleurs et la pression marketing moindre. L’engagement sur recommandation produit progresse de 33 %, et les taux de conversion SMS affichent des chiffres que l’entreprise qualifie d’« impressionnants ». Le cas TUI illustre une autre dimension : celle de la pertinence dans un secteur où la décision d’achat est complexe. Le voyageur ne se décide pas sur un seul signal. Parmi les critères les plus importants citons le prix, la destination, le moment, l’occasion. Résultat avec Tinyclues : 36 % de revenus supplémentaires pour mille messages envoyés, 17 % de messages en moins, 7 % de commandes en plus. On envoie moins de messages et on génère plus de revenus. C’est précisément l’équilibre que l’on cherchait au départ À une autre échelle, Orange Africa illustre un troisième cas de figure : celui de l’automatisation quasi totale, justifiée par la nature du métier. Sur des marchés africains où les clients gèrent plusieurs cartes SIM et rechargent quotidiennement selon la meilleure offre disponible pour des sommes très faibles, l’IA orchestre en continu l’ensemble du plan de campagne. Le vrai job du marketeur c’est de mettre toutes les bonnes offres dans la plateforme. Ensuite, c’est la technologie qui va chercher la meilleure offre pour chaque client tous les jours Ce niveau d’automatisation n’est pas nécessaire pour un distributeur avec deux achats par an, mais il démontre jusqu’où l’IA peut aller lorsque le scénario métier l’exige. L’IA ou plutôt une combinaison de différentes techniques IA donne corps à l’ hyperpersonnalisation à l’échelle. Image produite avec Midjourney Le pacte de confiance, condition préalable à toute délégation Comment une direction marketing mesure-t-elle concrètement la valeur de l’IA ? Antoine Parizot répond par une notion qui revient comme un fil conducteur dans l’entretien : le « pacte de confiance ». Il s’agit de décider, en amont, ce que l’on est prêt à déléguer à la machine et ce que l’on garde en interne parce que c’est là que réside l’avantage compétitif. L’IA sera toujours meilleure sur la partie mathématique. Mais créer de l’émotion, donner du sens, investir dans ses équipes : ça, les marques doivent le garder La méthode qu’il préconise est celle du test structuré, comparable à l’expérience que tout conducteur a faite avec Waze : la première fois, on résiste, on pense connaître mieux son chemin. Puis, après quelques essais, on constate que l’algorithme avait raison. Le processus est identique avec l’IA CRM : on teste sur un périmètre défini, on compare les résultats en A/B test, on mesure l’impact réel des audiences prédictives ou des recommandations produits, et seulement après on étend le périmètre délégué. La confiance n’exclut pas le contrôle Ce n’est pas un blanc-seing accordé à la technologie, c’est un apprentissage progressif, fondé sur la preuve. L’agent CRM : l’étape d’après Splio a lancé en février 2026 son agent CRM, baptisé Ask My CRM. La distinction que fait Antoine Parizot entre un chatbot et un agent mérite d’être soulignée, tant la confusion est répandue. Un chatbot répond à des questions. Un agent agit. Prenons l’exemple d’un passager aérien qui souhaite changer son billet : le chatbot le redirige vers un conseiller ; l’agent, lui, interroge les systèmes de réservation, vérifie la disponibilité, calcule le surcoût éventuel, propose une solution et attend la confirmation pour exécuter le changement, sans intervention humaine. Appliqué au CRM, cela signifie que le manager peut poser à l’agent des questions analytiques complexes, « quels sont mes segments à fort potentiel ce trimestre ? », et obtenir une réponse contextualisée, appuyée sur les données réelles de sa base, avec la source des données exposée pour contrôle. La prochaine étape sera l’actionnabilité directe : création de segments, génération de campagnes, connexion au service client, au site web, à WhatsApp. Mais Splio avance prudemment. On commence par l’analytique, on crée la confiance, et ensuite seulement on ouvre de nouveaux cas d’usage Sur la question des hallucinations, sujet que l’on ne peut plus esquiver, la réponse de Splio est à la fois honnête et méthodique. Pour l’IA prédictive et décisionnelle, le problème ne se pose pas : il n’y a pas de génération de texte, donc pas de risque d’invention. Pour l’agent génératif en revanche, trois garde-fous ont été mis en place : l’agent est entraîné à reconnaître ses limites et à le dire explicitement ; les questions trop vagues sont recadrées plutôt qu’interprétées librement ; enfin, chaque recommandation est accompagnée des données source, consultables par l’utilisateur. La confiance se construit dans le temps. Plus une marque utilise l’agent, plus il dispose de contexte, plus il est pertinent Emploi, jeunes talents et IA : ni catastrophisme ni naïveté La question de l’impact sur l’emploi ne pouvait être éludée. Antoine Parizot y répond avec la même nuance que sur les autres sujets. Dans le CRM, les équipes sont souvent réduites et débordées ; l’IA va d’abord leur permettre d’automatiser les tâches répétitives pour se concentrer sur la stratégie et l’analyse. Un déplacement de la charge de travail, plus qu’une suppression de postes. Sur les profils juniors, il est plus prudent. Il observe, dans le conseil notamment, une tendance à réduire le recours aux jeunes collaborateurs au profit des agents. Mais il refuse d’en faire une fatalité. Quand il est arrivé chez Microsoft, le cloud computing était une technologie naissante. Ceux qui s’y sont adaptés rapidement en ont fait une compétence distinctive. Les jeunes d’aujourd’hui jouent sur un terrain de jeu différent du mien. C’est leur terrain, pas le mien La capacité à automatiser des tâches, à questionner les processus établis, à apporter une culture native de ces outils : voilà ce qui fera la différence. La curiosité et l’adaptation, non comme vertus générales, mais comme compétences professionnelles concrètes. Souveraineté numérique : l’excellence d’abord, le label ensuite Sur la souveraineté numérique, thème omniprésent dans les discussions françaises, Antoine Parizot adopte une position qui tranche avec le débat habituel. Il reconnaît sans ambages la domination américaine sur les couches d’infrastructure et les modèles fondationnels : Microsoft, Google, Amazon occupent un terrain que l’Europe ne rattrapera pas facilement. Mais il souligne aussi que sur la couche applicative, le CRM, le marketing, les solutions métiers, l’écosystème français est riche et compétitif. Splio, Brevo, OVHcloud, Mistral : autant d’acteurs capables de répondre aux besoins des grandes entreprises. Sa vision de la souveraineté est simple et directe. La souveraineté doit être l’élément en plus, pas l’élément central. Mon travail, c’est de faire en sorte que notre produit soit meilleur que nos concurrents américains, pour que le choix d’une solution française soit une évidence, pas une contrainte Il n’est pas question de se replier sur le label d’origine, mais de mériter la préférence par l’excellence. Un principe qui s’applique autant à Splio qu’à l’ensemble des acteurs tech européens. Ce que le CRM IA First change vraiment Cet entretien avec Antoine Parizot laisse une impression durable : celle d’un professionnel qui refuse autant le catastrophisme que l’enthousiasme naïf. L’IA dans le CRM n’est pas une révolution qui supprime les marketeurs, c’est un ensemble d’outils qui, bien calibrés, permettent de faire ce que le marketing promet depuis longtemps sans jamais vraiment y parvenir : traiter chaque client comme un individu unique, au bon moment, sur le bon canal, avec la bonne offre. Reste que la promesse ne se concrétise pas sans méthode. Le pacte de confiance qu’évoque Parizot, cette décision délibérée de définir ce que l’on délègue et ce que l’on garde, est peut-être la contribution la plus utile de cet entretien pour tout directeur marketing qui hésite encore. On ne confie pas ses clients à l’IA sur la foi d’un argumentaire commercial. On teste, on mesure, on ajuste. Et si les résultats sont là, comme chez TUI, Mademoiselle Bio ou Orange Africa, on élargit progressivement le périmètre. Curiosité, pragmatisme et excellence : trois mots pour résumer une approche qui mérite d’être prise au sérieux. Ce qui change vraiment avec l’IA dans le CRM : infographie produite avec Gemini avec l’aide de Numerika À propos de Splio Fondée en 2001, Splio est une entreprise française de MarTech spécialisée dans le CRM et le marketing client. Sa plateforme, propulsée par l’IA depuis l’acquisition de Tinyclues en 2023, couvre l’ensemble de la chaîne CRM : segmentation prédictive, orchestration des campagnes, recommandation produit et, depuis 2026, IA agentique avec Ask My CRM. Splio accompagne des marques de premier plan, dont Air France, Fnac Darty, Samsung, TUI et Orange Africa, dans leur stratégie de relation client omnicanale. Revendiquant aujourd’hui 30 % de son chiffre d’affaires récurrent généré par ses solutions d’IA, l’entreprise vise 50 % d’ici 2027. La video suivante explique le fonctionnement de Ask My CRM. À propos d’Antoine Parizot Antoine Parizot est co-CEO de Splio, entreprise française de MarTech fondée en 2001 et spécialisée dans le CRM AI First. Avant de rejoindre Splio il y a plus de huit ans, il a exercé pendant sept ans chez Microsoft, notamment en tant que Directeur Général France, puis en charge du produit et de la R&D.

On this episode, the witches sit down with Jane Matthews, Director of the World Divination Association, rune reader, author, medium, and teacher whose work weaves ancient symbols into modern, embodied magic.Jane joins Chelle and Laylla from Northern Ireland to talk Ogham, sigils, and practical divination, and how these systems help us reconnect with our own inner wisdom. We chat about learning to actually trust your intuition, reading tarot or runes for everyday mundane stuff just because you can (and because practice builds relationship), and even pulling cards or staves about something that already happened yesterday as a way to sharpen your symbolic language and spot your own patterns. Naturally, this leads to journaling about it. And somewhere along the way, Laylla uncovers an unexpected connection between Ogham and The Rocky Horror Picture Show… yeah, we don't fully know how that happened either.Jane is the author of Sigils: A Tool for Manifesting and Empowerment and her new Ogham deck and guidebook Ogham: Divining in the Celtic Way comes out March 2nd, 2026If you've been curious about Ogham, sigils, or working with symbols as living allies in your craft, this conversation is a beautiful place to begin.Jane MatthewsOgham: Divining in the Celtic Way (25-Card Deck and 192-Page Guidebook)World DivinationGot a question?

In this uplifting, heart-centered, and refreshingly fun episode of the UpliftHER Leadership Series on the Self-Care Goddess Podcast, I had the absolute joy of speaking with Chelle Hartzer — consulting entomologist, entrepreneur, problem-solver, and living proof that leadership comes in many beautifully unexpected forms.Chelle is the brilliant mind behind 360 Pest Consulting, where she brings over a decade of experience helping businesses solve complex pest challenges with precision, curiosity, and care. With advanced degrees in entomology and board certification in urban and structural pests, Chelle quite literally goes where most people would rather not — and does it with humor, heart, and deep integrity.This conversation begins, as always, with a grounding HeartMath coherence practice to settle the nervous system and drop us into presence. From there, we explore Chelle's unconventional career path, her courageous leap from corporate life into entrepreneurship during the pandemic, and what it really takes to build a values-aligned business without burning yourself out.What unfolded was a conversation full of wisdom, laughter, curiosity, and powerful insights about leadership, resilience, self-trust, and honoring your energy — even in male-dominated industries. Chelle reminds us that success doesn't have to look rigid or joyless, and that sometimes the most impactful paths are the ones we never planned to take.This episode is an invitation to stay curious, trust unexpected opportunities, protect your wellbeing, and lead with both brilliance and humanity.✨ In this thoughtful, inspiring, and delightfully nerdy conversation, we explored: ✅ Chelle's accidental (and extraordinary) journey into entomology and pest consulting ✅ Busting common myths about pest control, safety, and “holistic” approaches ✅ Problem-solving at the root cause — in business, biology, and life ✅ Pivoting careers during uncertainty and building a consulting business from scratch ✅ Entrepreneurship, courage, mentorship, and trusting the unknown ✅ Burnout awareness, boundaries, and designing work that supports your life Connect with Chelle: Website: https://www.chellehartzer.com/resourcesLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chelle-hartzer-bce-pcqi/YouYube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6mYkuCL-EBN66t0R1VO8sg

On this episode we're sitting down with Molly Donlan. Witch, energy worker, certification collector, and co-host of Demystify Magic. Molly is also celebrating the release of her brand new book, Mundane Magic: A Lazy Witch's Guide to Hacking Your Brain, Building a Daily Practice, and Getting Stuff Done. This conversation drops February 13th, just days before her book hits shelves on the 17th, which is the perfect moment to talk superstition, Friday the 13th vibes, and how to turn everyday life into spellwork without burning yourself out. We even have a game show where Laylla quizzes Molly and Chelle on their Friday the 13th superstition knowledge, equal parts chaos, laughter, and witchy trivia. Molly shares how she went from skeptic to someone who found a grounded blend of magic and science that actually works. Her approach is practical, trauma-informed, sensory, and surprisingly hilarious. We talk about transforming chores into enchantment, paying bills like it's a ritual, vacuuming like it's a clearing spell, and why “stirring your tea with intention” is just the beginning. Her work grew out of her own ADHD practice and the real-life problem areas her audience brought to her, starting on Instagram as a way to be witchy every single day without it becoming another item on a guilt list. We also get into brain hacking, and the magic of engaging the senses to regulate your nervous system, and a mood elevating meditation involving a surprising kitchen utensil that will absolutely make you laugh and accidentally fix your mood. If you've ever struggled with consistency, motivation, executive function, or feeling like you're failing at your practice, this episode is for you. This is magic that meets you in the laundry room, at the sink, in the middle of a messy day, and whispers, “You can work with this.”Molly's WebsiteReiki classes with MollyDemystify Magic PodcastTHE BOOK!!Got a question?

This sermon explores the church's mission to evangelize through the story of Ananias and Saul in Acts 9. Pastor Le'Chelle challenges believers to move beyond being spectators or cheerleaders in God's mission and become active players in spreading the gospel. Using the analogy of sports participants, she emphasizes that evangelism requires availability to God's call, courage to overcome fear and prejudice, obedience to God's commands, and commitment to making disciples who make disciples. The message stresses that God uses ordinary believers to reach extraordinary sinners, just as He used Ananias to minister to Saul (later Paul), who became one of Christianity's greatest evangelists. The sermon calls the church to embrace their role in God's redemptive plan, reminding believers that sharing the gospel is not optional but a command for all followers of Christ.

In this episode we're settling into that long, liminal stretch between Imbolc and Ostara. The snow is still hanging around, the days are technically getting longer but it doesn't always feel like it, and seasonal cranky shut in disorder is very real. This is a quiet and often deeply cold time of the year, where hope flickers but hasn't fully taken shape yet. That's exactly why we're focusing on everyday magick. The simple, doable, low effort kind that helps you keep going when getting out of bed already feels like a heroic act.We share some of our favorite mundane spells that gently weave magic into the rhythm of daily life. Morning candle work for setting one small intention. Decluttering spells that help reset the energy of your space when the vibes are off. Bag and wallet magic to make room for abundance. Even the humble act of making your bed becomes a spell for nervous system care, protection, and coming home to yourself at the end of the day. This isn't about doing everything. It's about doing one thing with presence.Chelle also brings forward a tarot thread she's been holding for this season, a simple and reflective way of working with the cards as we move from Imbolc's inward spark toward Ostara's outward growth. Think less pressure, more conversation with the cards. Tarot as companion, not assignment.We also talk about how to work magic with your houseplants during this time of year. From tending them as living spell anchors to using them as allies for growth, renewal, and intention setting, especially when the outside world is still frozen. Your plants know spring is coming, even if the ground hasn't caught up yet. There's wisdom there.This episode is for anyone who feels tired, restless, or quietly hopeful. For witches who want to stay connected without burning themselves out. For those of us who need reminders that small rituals matter, and that light returns slowly, but it does return.So grab your tea, check in with your plants, and come sit with us for a bit. We're getting through late winter together, one simple spell at a time.Got a question? Send the witches a message here!Support the showWant to send us a letter?

Got a question? Let us know!Made for Mondays | STEPSStep Three: The Decision — “I Think I Will Let Him”This week on Made for Mondays, Heather sits down with Jamey, Chelle, and Tyler to unpack Step Three of STEPS: The Decision—the moment where we stop white-knuckling our way forward and begin practicing surrender.After weekend chitchat and reflecting on this week's Bible reading from Genesis 49, Exodus 1–10, and Matthew 15–18, the conversation turns toward one of the most deceptively difficult spiritual shifts: moving from trying harder to trusting deeper.Pastor Jamey reminds us that we cannot heal our inner world through willpower alone. But when we release control and trust God's care, He leads us toward shalom—not just peace as calm, but peace as wholeness. Surrender, as the group explores, isn't giving up on life; it's giving up our own way so Jesus can form something better on the other side.Here's what they dive into:• The small places control shows up From thermostats and dishwashers to driving directions and group texts, the group laughs—and then gets honest—about how control sneaks into everyday life. Those same instincts often follow us into our faith, especially when life feels uncertain.• “God, fix this” vs. “God, lead me” The conversation names a tension many of us recognize: praying for relief without actually wanting transformation. Whether it's a relationship, a stressful season, or a recurring emotional pattern, the group reflects on how surrender often feels more threatening than the pain we already know.• When surrender feels like loss Looking at Jesus' words in Matthew 16, the group wrestles with the idea that surrender can feel less like peace and more like losing control. What does surrender actually look like in normal, everyday life—and how do we take a concrete step when resistance shows up?• The parts we give… and the parts we guard Quoting C.S. Lewis, the group reflects on the truth that Jesus doesn't want a portion of us—He wants all of us. They discuss which parts of life feel easiest to offer God, and which parts we carefully protect, along with how that changes when we trust that Jesus is freeing us, not undoing us.• Praying differently Where are we most tempted to pray “fix this”—and what would it sound like to pray “lead me” instead? The conversation highlights how community plays a vital role in keeping us honest when we slide back into control mode, reminding us that surrender isn't meant to be practiced alone.• Open hands, not clenched fists Jamey revisits the powerful image from Sunday's message: clenched fists versus open hands. The group reflects on what it means to physically and spiritually release control—and what it looks like to place something we're holding tightly back into God's care.• A faithful next step Rather than trying to be the Savior, the episode closes by inviting listeners to take one faithful next step this week—perhaps inviting a trusted person into the decision so surrender becomes a lived practice, not just a good idea.Join Us This SundayWe're continuing STEPS and walking this journey together.

In this episode, the witches welcome the quiet, hopeful turning of the wheel with a deep dive into Imbolc, the ancient Celtic festival that marks the halfway point between the Winter Solstice and the Spring Equinox. Traditionally celebrated around February 1st and 2nd, Imbolc is a threshold moment, when the land is still cold and dark, but the return of the light has begun. Laylla and Chelle explore Imbolc's roots, its meaning of “in the belly,” and its long association with new life, purification, and preparation.They talk about the goddess Brigid, her sacred flame, poetry, prophecy, and craft, as well as her deep connections to hearth, milk, and inspiration. The conversation also weaves in other powerful figures of the season, including the Cailleach, whose weather on Imbolc foretells the length of winter, and Danu, whose fertile waters and ancient presence remind us that life is already stirring beneath the surface. From there, the episode turns practical. Laylla and Chelle talk about how to celebrate Imbolc today, from candle magic to house cleansing and protection work. They explore why cleaning and warding at Imbolc is so powerful, especially when the festival aligns with a full moon, and share a wealth of simple but potent practices including ritual sweeping, boundary-setting, witch bottles, mirror wards, eggshell protection, and working with house spirits.The episode also includes a detailed look at Brigid's Fire Tarot Spread, a ten-card layout shaped like a rising flame that helps you see what you're building, what's stirring, and what you're truly reaching for as the year unfolds toward Beltane. Grounded, hopeful, and deeply intentional, this episode invites you to tend your inner fire, clear winter's residue, and prepare your space, your spirit, and your magic for the season of growth ahead.Got a question?

Welcome back to the deity series as the witches turn their attention to the Crone Goddess. In this episode, Laylla and Chelle explore what the Crone represents in modern witchcraft and how this powerful aspect of divinity shows up in real lives, not just at the end of a cycle, but anywhere wisdom, boundaries, and deep knowing are required.They talk honestly about their own relationships to the Crone. Chelle feels ready to step fully into that phase, while Laylla is… not quite there yet. Along the way, they unpack the strengths of the Crone archetype, the cultural prejudices she faces, and why fear of aging and power has shaped how this goddess is often misunderstood or avoided.The episode also includes practical tools for connection and reflection, including a tarot spread and a journaling exercise designed to help you explore the different aspects of the goddess within yourself. As the year shifts from 2025 to 2026, Laylla shares a meditation spell to connect with the Crone's liminal wisdom, offering guidance for standing at the threshold of time with clarity, courage, and intention.Got a question?

In this New Year's Eve episode of Back on the Broomstick, the witches gather in the space between the year that has been and the year that is about to be. This is a liminal space between the old and the new. Laylla and Chelle talk about why setting intentions often feels more powerful and sustainable than making resolutions, and how choosing a single power word for the year ahead can act as a magical anchor when the road gets twisty.The witches also touch on the currently popular 13 Wishes spell (sometimes called or Rauhnächte) and how it fits into New Year and liminal space magic. Laylla offers a slightly revised version of the working, thoughtfully adapted to better suit Chelle's limited attention span and real-world witchcraft needs, proving once again that magic works best when it's practical, flexible, and personal.They also share a reflective tarot spread designed to look back at the year that's ending, helping you name what you're ready to leave behind, what still needs tending, and what lessons are coming with you into the new cycle. It's a gentle, honest way to close the year without rushing or forcing transformation before it's ready.As the clock ticks toward midnight, the witches take time to thank their listeners and benefactors for another deeply witchy year of community, curiosity, laughter, and shared magic. Light a candle, pull a card, and step with intention into the threshold of the new year.Got a question? Send the witches a message here!Support the showWant to send us a letter?

Got a plan for 2026?

In the fifth installment of their seven-part Deity Series, the witches turn toward the Goddess in her season of fullness: the Mother, the Maker, the Manifestor, the one who turns raw possibility into living, breathing reality. She is the bright fullness of the moon, the heat of summer, the hum of productivity, and the heartbeat that keeps community alive.Laylla and Chelle explore the Mother not only as the ancient figure of fertility but as a far more expansive and dynamic archetype for today's witches. This episode looks at the Mother as a creator and nurturer. A maker of art, careers, kinship, knowledge, and paths; as the one who carries the Maiden's vision forward with commitment and devotion; and as the archetype who teaches us how to choose, shape, and sustain the lives we are building.They also examine the deeper historical roots of the Mother Goddess, from the earliest Venus figurines and Paleolithic mother symbols to the great goddesses of world mythology. The witches unpack how these ancient themes influence modern witchcraft and how the Mother archetype has evolved far beyond biological motherhood into a symbol of agency, of creation, and of strength.Whether you are raising children, raising a garden, raising a business, or raising yourself through another chapter of becoming, this episode offers tools, myth, and magical perspective for awakening the Mother within.So brew something comforting, settle in, and join us as we explore the sacred, complex, profoundly human power of the Mother as Maker.Modern Heathen Celebration of SunwaitGot a question?

The Triple Goddess Called; She Wants to Update Her ResumeThe witches continue their series on Divinity in modern witchcraft with the first episode on the triple aspect of Goddess. They begin by discussing one of the most well-known frameworks in modern paganism: Maiden, Mother, Crone. They trace where this concept may have come from, how it became rooted in contemporary witchcraft, and why it still holds power for so many people. But they also look honestly at its limitations.In this episode focusing especially on the Maiden aspect, Laylla and Chelle talk about how titles once meant to empower now feel too narrow, too tied to childbearing, and too limited in their vision of womanhood, personhood, and divinity. They explore what it means to honor a Goddess who contains multitudes, and how we might reimagine these archetypes in ways that reflect lived experience, adult autonomy, creativity, sexuality, and identity beyond gender, fertility, or age.It's a conversation about myth, culture, and the shifting language of the sacred; and an invitation to rethink the Goddess not as a three-part story, but as a vast and evolving presence that grows with us.2025's Yule Winter Solstice Card Exchange is live!

In this heartfelt episode, Chelle opens up about her breast cancer journey—a story she once kept private. She shares the shock of receiving her diagnosis without compassion, the emotional and spiritual battles that followed, and how she learned to trust God's timing even when the path felt unfair and unclear.With her now-husband by her side through every appointment and her son giving her strength, Chelle reflects on resilience, identity, and the courage it takes to let God use you—even when the process feels nothing like you imagined.

In the third installment of our seven-part series on the Aspects of Deity, Laylla and Chelle meet the God as the Sage, the Elder, the Lord of Shadows.This is the God after the battle, after the passion, when the fields have been harvested and the world begins to rest. He is the Holly King, the wise face of the Horned God, the keeper of memory and mystery. In him lives the balance between power and surrender, action and reflection, life and death.The witches discuss His folklore and myth, how to know when the God is reaching out to you, and how to start working with a God.So light your candle against the long night, pour a cup of something your grandpa would appreciate, and join Laylla and Chelle as they follow the God into the deep woods of winter, where silence becomes a teacher and the old gods whisper in the dark.We have an Etsy Shop!Got a question?

In the second installment of our seven-part series on the Aspects of Deity, the witches turn their attention to the God in his middle face: the Oak King, the Father, the Warrior, and the beating heart of the Sun at its height. This is the God in his full maturity; strong-backed, green-crowned, and alive with the fierce joy of summer.Laylla and Chelle unpack where this Father/Warrior archetype comes from in modern witchcraft, tracing the Oak King's tangled roots through folklore, Wicca, the Horned God mythos, and the ever-evolving Wheel of the Year. From the midsummer battle with the Holly King, to his role as the wild consort of the Goddess, to his deep connection with the turning of the seasons, the witches explore how this bright, solar force shows up in myth and in lived witchcraft today.They also dig into the bigger question: what does sacred masculinity look like for witches who grew up with Christian Father-God baggage or pop culture's devil-horn stereotypes? The Oak King reminds us that strength can be tender, that passion can be holy, and that the body, sweating, laughing, loving, and alive is a temple all its own. He's the god of green forests and hot sun, the Witch-Father who guards the boundaries of the land and teaches us to walk them with courage.Join us for stories, lore, laughter, and a whole lot of leafy green energy as we meet the God in his middle face,; the Oak King in all his vibrant, responsible, moss-scented glory.Got a question?

In this first episode of a brand-new seven-part series, Laylla and Chelle begin their exploration of the Aspects of Deity. Their discussion explores the living faces of the God and Goddess as seen through the Witch's Wheel of the Year. This week, they turn their gaze toward the radiant Young God, the vibrant spark of life, desire, and potential who dances at the dawn of creation.Where did the idea of the Triple God come from? The Youth, the Father-Warrior, and the Sage? And how did this modern mythos take shape alongside the more familiar Triple Goddess? Join the witches as they trace the roots of this divine evolution, from the early works of Margaret Murray and Robert Graves to the writings of Janet and Stewart Farrar, and into the living, breathing practices of witches today.The Young God is the sunrise in human form. He is playful Pan, inspired Lugh, shining Baldr, the divine son whose growth mirrors our own cycles of becoming. Laylla and Chelle share their thoughts on what it means to work with this energy in the modern Craft: how witches can honor renewal, passion, and the power of beginning again; whether that means lighting your first candle of spring or stepping back into your own becoming after a long winter of the soul.So pour a cup of something bright, light your favorite incense, and settle in as we begin this journey through the sacred faces of the divine.

It's that time again - the 2025 Hobby Progress Challenge is here, and we're diving headfirst into all the details on this episode. Chelle, Adan, and Carl sit down to go over the rules of this year's challenge, how it's tracked, and what makes it such a fun and motivating way to tackle that pile of shame. Whether you're painting for glory in the Emperor's name or fueled by the whispers of Chaos, the HPC is your chance to stay focused, productive, and inspired all year long. We'll also hear directly from our community. Listeners who took part in last year's challenge share how the HPC helped them hit their goals, what they learned along the way, and what they're looking forward to this time around. Their stories remind us that while prizes and painted models are great, it's the camaraderie and encouragement that truly keep the brush moving month after month. Of course, we'll be talking about the prize support too - because what's a challenge without a few epic rewards along the way? With fantastic sponsors stepping up again this year, every month of progress not only builds your army but also earns you entries into our prize drawings. The 2025 Hobby Progress Challenge officially kicked off on September 1st, but it's never too late to join in. Tune in October 1st to hear how it all works, get inspired by your fellow hobbyists, and take the plunge into a year of painting, progress, and shared passion for Warhammer 40K.
