I kick off the podcast with the "Wicked Lite Bites" segment that features inspiring and lighthearted news stories from each New England state. Then, I speak with The Wednesday Witch, Laura Campagna, Boston-based astrologer, tarot reader, energy healer, writer, and teacher. She has been reading tarot and studying astrology since she was just 13 years old. We discuss the Winter Solstice and how we can lean into the season, understand its deeper meaning, and find small but powerful ways to celebrate it. Plus, Laura gives us a sneak peek into the astrology for 2025 and how we can use the energy to our benefit.
