In this episode, we'll get into the following and then some:
- We discuss the importance of dispelling misinformation and disinformation in their work as a witchy educator
- How "being a brand" might not be as bad as people make it out to be
- Along those lines, we dig into the themes that come up the most for Dette when engaging with students online
- How prolonged people-pleasing isn't just inauthentic, it can be lowkey manipulation (and we dissect how to move past this)
- What accountability truly looks like (or why we gotta give people a wider berth and see if changed behavior comes with their apology)
- Some time is spent talkin' about being late-diagnosed autistics
- We get into the differences between Chthonic deities vs. Ouranic (death gods vs. the Olympians) and the misconceptions people have about which is harsher than the other
- How Dette began working with Aphrodite and their experience with her
- And we reflect on Dette when they aren't in educator mode and how they're helping heal people's inner child one immersive 80s-themed event at a time
If you've been wondering what the most basic form of magick any/all of us ought to be prioritizing right now, this one is for you.
