1 Listener

In this episode, Dre welcomes the incomparable Colette Baron-Reid — intuitive, oracle card expert, and modern mystic. Together they explore the sacred symbolism of circles: connection, safety, and cosmic reset — and how even drawing a circle can calm the nervous system. Colette shares her extraordinary journey — from addiction and recovery to finding her path through coffee ground readings and a fated tarot session with her Jungian therapist. She reveals how oracle cards became her mirror, not her map — a tool for self-awareness, not fortune-telling. They talk about what it really means to co-create with the universe — to stop the grind, unplug from the noise, and ask the simple, soul-stirring question: “What do I need to know right now?” This episode is a call to reclaim your voice, tune in instead of check out, and stop outsourcing your power. It’s about staying curious, being accountable, and remembering: you are not lost — you are listening.

Fear as a Gift, Intuition as a Guide: Circling with Dre & Em

In this episode Dre and Em circle around Gavin de Becker’s groundbreaking book The Gift of Fear—a guide to recognizing intuition as a survival tool.

Dre shares the deeply personal story of her childhood in New York City, where she lived under the shadow of a stalker for over a decade. This haunting experience shaped her understanding of fear, safety, and self-trust. Through years of sitting in circles with women who carry their own survival stories, Dre has become devoted to exploring the many ways we heal, reclaim our narratives, and transform trauma into strength.

*This episode contains strong language, discussion of childhood trauma, including experiences of stalking and feeling unsafe. If these topics feel sensitive or activating, consider listening with support—and, above all, take care of yourself.
