Episode 204: Abolitionist Dreamscapes With Dr Nicole Truesdell

11/15/23 • 116 min

This episode is a collaboration between Awaken & Align and Abolitionist Dreamscapes. We are living during a time when our old systems and paradigms are being dismantled. Our main intention for this episode is to explore, how can we reimagine and co-create a different reality. Our conversation weaves through topics of astrology, abolition, dreams, activism, and spiritual awakening. Abolitionist Dreamscape, led by Dr. Nicole Truesdell, is a space to deconstruct the mindsets blocking us from being our authentic Self AND a place to imagine, dream, and conjure a life without the systems of capitalism, governments, and generational trauma that created the person we perform to be for the world. As an anthropologist by training, abolitionist scholar and teacher in practice, and practicing Western Tropical Astrologer Dr. Nicole Truesdell helps people make sense of their journey to Self through private 1:1 sessions and Astrology readings, her Podcast, Patreon, social media accounts, public talks and seminars, Salon Conversations, and creative projects.

With a background in anthropology, Dr. Truesdell uses her knowledge to deconstruct societal mindsets and imagine a world without oppressive systems governing us. Dr. Truesdell obtained her Ph.D. in Anthropology from Michigan State University in 2011, specializing in race, racism, citizenship, and the nation-state. She combines her anthropological expertise with her training as a practicing Western Tropical Astrologer to help individuals understand their journey to self. Her multidisciplinary approach allows her to bridge the gap between academia and spirituality, offering a unique perspective that challenges existing norms and encourages individuals to imagine a world free from oppressive systems. Dr. Truesdell's passion lies in her commitment to social change and the belief in the transformative power of imagination and dreaming.

Episode 203: The Millennial Mystics Ashley Probst

In the latest episode of The Millennial Mystics, Steph and Laura are joined by Ashley Probst, an eclectic witch and tarot reader based in Lāhainā, Maui. You can find her on TikTok spreading witchy tips and magick to her +162,000 fans and she also offers channeled tarot readings with clients. Ashley’s family was directly impacted and affected by the Maui fires in August, and there will be links with ways you can support in the show notes of this episode.

We take a look at Ashley's upcoming astrology, read her birth chart, and unpack the power that lies within her Leo rising, Pisces sun, and Gemini moon. We talk all about her current Saturn return and offer advice on how to navigate this cosmic rite of passage, as well as take a closer look at the transits impacting Ashley's chart during the devastating Maui fires. Welcome to The Millennial Mystics, a liminal space where we explore the unseen realms, astrology, witchcraft, and the way magick shows up in your life. Each week we channel the language of the stars and discuss how these celestial bodies and archetypes are reflected in our worldly events and the cultural zeitgeist. The Millennial Mystics is hosted by two fire sign witches: Hi, I’m Laura and I’m an Aries Sun, Aquarius Moon, and Sagittarius rising–and I’m Stephanie and I’m a Leo sun, Leo rising, and Virgo moon. It’s our hope that our passion for magick and the mystical reflects light on your own curiosity and inner witch. Welcome to The Millennial Mystics!
