This week on Meet My Friends, host Lindsay St. Laurent (@filmakeher) sits down with two visionary North Hollywood creators — Celina Lee and Danielle Ozymandias, the founders of The Witch’s Cottage, NoHo’s newest community hub, artist sanctuary, and witchy haven.

Located inside the historic old Federal building, The Witch’s Cottage is being hand-built with intention, magic, and the help of neighbors who saw the sign in the window and simply showed up. Celina and Danielle share how their dream transformed from years of shared messages and Pinterest boards into a living, breathing community space that blends witchcraft, craftwork, storytelling, gaming, baking, activism, and heart.

We talk about the construction process, their origin story, the people who came out of nowhere to help, and what it means to build something deeply meaningful in a neighborhood still recovering its artistic soul.

This episode is about friendship, community, reinvention — and what happens when witches decide to take over a federal building.

This week on Meet My Friends, host Lindsay St. Laurent (@filmakeher) welcomes back one of the show’s most beloved voices — Lord Hammer, also known as Casey Flammond (@lordhammer14).

In his most grounded and open conversation yet, Casey shares parts of his life he’s never fully spoken about publicly — including his heritage as a member of the Indigenous Lakota Tribe in South Dakota: The Burnt Thigh People.

We also explore spiritual concepts — from rainbow beings and starseeds, to the Indigenous understanding of Two Spirit — and how these ideas helped shape Casey’s sense of belonging, purpose, and growth this past year.

This week on Meet My Friends, host Lindsay St. Laurent (@filmakeher) is joined by podcast favorites Alexandria Walters (@yoalexandria) and Charlie Rojas (Spotify: Charlie Rojas).

What started as a simple recap of our Halloween weekends turned instantly into a plot twist worthy of a season finale: Alex’s ex-boyfriend — yes, the one we’ve discussed here on the pod — is already ENGAGED. And the breakup? Only two months ago.

Charlie arrived at the studio holding the hottest subway-platform tea in North America, and it's NOT EARL GREY. What followed was shock, jokes, emotional processing, and a level of disbelief only this podcast could capture.

Throughout 2025, Alex has generously and bravely allowed us into her real life — the highs, the heartbreaks, the laughter-through-tears — and this moment is one we truly never saw coming. Her openness, humor, and honesty continue to be the heart of this show.

✨ In this episode we cover: 💍 The engagement nobody expected 🚇 How Charlie became the accidental messenger 💕 Alex’s year of growth, vulnerability, and plot twists 🎃 The Halloween conversation we thought we were going to have 😂 And the collective gasp heard around the podcast

Thank you for listening, thank you for supporting, and thank you for being here every week through the chaos, comfort, and friendship.
