    Pumpkin Rituals, Sage-Scented Sanity & Vanquishing Energy Vampires—From Summerween to Halloween and Everything In Between
    Oct 31 2025

    Returning guest Spooky Melanin Magic is back with cozy chaos, full-moon rituals, and the unapologetic art of protecting your peace.
    Totally tapped out but still trying to feel festive this fall?
    Same. Let’s fix that.
    This week, nurse practitioner and paranormal investigator Bianca Pierre Louis (aka Spooky Melanin Magic) returns to talk all things ghosts, gourds, and grounding. From Halloween film cameos to candlelit rituals, she’s bringing spooky season magic—and some serious self-care reminders.
    Big mood: Radical joy isn’t a luxury. It’s a life skill. Especially when your nervous system is running on fumes.
    In this episode:
    ✨ Summerween is a thing – July 5th hits and Bianca’s spooky switch flips
    🎥 Halloween movie moment – She’s on-screen and overjoyed
    🍂 Apple picking, pumpkin beer, corn maze chaos – Fall is her full-body love language
    🧼 Sage, smoke & sacred space – Her nightly ritual is chef’s kiss
    💸 Energy is currency – Watch those emotional overdraft fees
    🧠 Morning magic – 10 calm minutes > 10 chaotic hours
    🥣 Trader Joe’s therapy trip – Butternut mac ‘n cheese, anyone?
    📿 Crystals, candles, clarity – Woo-woo with a why
    😮‍💨 “Damn, that’s crazy” x3 – Time to wrap up the rant, babe
    🚪 Permission to peace out – Clip the convo, exit the energy, save yourself
    This episode’s a cozy coven call-in—equal parts comfort and clarity, with a pinch of pumpkin-spiced protection. Wrap yourself in a scarf, light something that smells like fall, and hit play.

  • The Sweet Spot of Struggle: Where Hard Meets Heart

    The Sweet Spot of Struggle: Where Hard Meets Heart
    Oct 18 2025
    Growth lives in the grit. 💪🌱 Life is hard. Staying stuck is hard. Chasing dreams is hard. So… which hard are you gonna pick?

    This week on Radical Joy, we’re diving into the sweet spot of struggle—the place where the hard stuff doesn’t just test you, it transforms you. From French cheese to Dutch drama, this episode is about choosing the hard that actually grows you.

    Here’s what we get into:

    🌍 Culture shock with a French twist
    🧀 Brie-lliant lessons from a $12 cheese block
    😅 Fail fast, fumble forward, grow anyway
    📖 Flops that secretly fuel fierce growth
    🗣️ Dutch drama: tongue-tied and tested
    🚲 Training wheels on adult life (wobbly but worth it)
    📝 Dreams in bold ink, not buried in your brain
    🔥 When childhood hopes don’t fit grown-up realities
    🎁 The universe’s sneaky habit of slipping you gifts

    Because in the end, the sweetest struggles aren’t the ones we avoid—they’re the ones we choose. 💥
