Summary

Episode 221. Crystals, tarot, astrology, yoga...these wellness practices seem to be getting hotter by the minute. But for too long, the metaphysical industry has been centered around white, cis-gendered, able-bodied, heteronormative folks. Thankfully, that is changing. People want inclusivity - and when it happens, communities thrive. While there is more diversity than ever before, we have a very long way to go. Artist Krystal Banner joins me to discuss why representation matters in wellness practices - and what we can do to make sure everyone gets a seat at the table. We also discuss her new Absolute Affirmations deck, one of my fave new spiritual tools.

1:18.0	Oh yeah, absolutely. But speaking of terror, you know, I'm a terror reader and for most of my career, the only deaths that were available back in the day and I've been reading a long time were centered around white, cisgendered, heteronormative folks.
