Betwixt-Seasons Update

I didn't know I needed a longer break than I did and I didn't even realize at that time what that break was going to entail . But in just beautiful synchronistic magick with the nature of the number five in numerology , Season 05 has has very effortlessly , organically transformed . It's transforming the show , it's changing everything around here .

I knew that my life was changing and I knew that the business was going to obviously change right along with it—i t wouldn't be Change if we were so fucking easily prepared for it . It wouldn't Change if it wasn't in and of itself unpredictable in nature .

So , yeah , it's one of those things where , of course , I knew everything was going to change , but I could never have realized to the extent that it is . Now I'm going to go ahead and get started . Let me start off by— in classic Dani fashion , as you know very well— let me give you some safety disclaimers here so you don't freak out .

The podcast is not going anywhere . Not only is it not going anywhere , she's taking like the most well-deserved nap that she's ever taken . That Witch Podcast's taking a nap like my favorite tarot deck . She's needing to hibernate right now because there is so much , so much root development and work going on under the surface , in the dark and in the earth .

(I love this analogy already) I really like where this is going , and it was really hard the first few weeks realizing this and not feeling absolutely terrified, like a failure, and like I was gonna piss all of you off, and let everybody down .

And I do want you to know that it's totally okay to be disappointed that the show's not ready just yet , because I love that you love the show that much , so it's definitely okay to feel disappointed . I was getting blocked by way deeper fears than that, that I was gonna make my entire business come crashing down and just ruin everything if I did this .

And it's soo not the case . I'm having like some of the most beautiful clarity that I've had in a long time and I'm feeling so calm , so serene and so fucking aligned about this . I feel so confident showing up here today with this "update Air quotes update . It is an update , but I still can't tell you exactly what to expect .

So much is changing , meaning there's gonna be new styles of episodes . I am going to change the days I release episodes on . I'm changing the way that I record Well , I'm changing the way that I research and brainstorm and record and write , copy and get it to the team .

Like I'm changing every fucking ounce of That Witch Podcast and right along with it , like so much of it is not changing— I should say refurbishing or redoing , because so much of it is gonna stay the same .

The picture that just came to my mind is from the Wizard of Oz , and when they all get the makeover , it's just like a makeover , where Dorothy in that movie is a perfect example , because ultimately they make Dorothy look the same .

They kind of change her hair , they add a few things here and there , right , but ultimately it's still Dorothy and it's quintessential Dorothy , and they just bring out her natural traits even more fully, you know .

And so that's what's happening with That Witch Podcast , because so much of That Witch Next Door is undergoing that same rewiring , that same refurbishing , and it's really , really exciting and it takes time, so I had to take the break first . That was the hardest part is I had to take the actual break . And I didn't wanna take the break .

I wanted to just pause releasing so that I could just keep fucking working and working , grinding out behind the surface so I could feel caught up, and I'm still giving myself the space to be able to do that .

But I realized, I finally got to this point where I was like , all right , dude , you're gonna have to take a break , like actually rest and not worry about the podcast or brainstorming for it or picking the days , like you need to take an actual break for a couple of weeks .

And I did that and thank fucking God , because I don't think I would have received the clarity that I have and the motivation that I have, and I just feel so centered with my purpose and direction now .

So I took the break and now I'm at the point that I wanted to just dive head first into the remapping and the evaluating and the finalizing, and things like that . And then the creation starts .

Then the actual content creation and we're recording , we're sending off to editing and to the team for media, all the beautiful media magic that our wonderful Jenny SRP does for us , and then we're releasing .

I'm not going to rush this , I am not going to force this and I am going to fucking trust in this feeling , in this energy , every step of the way , and I know my real Neighbors get this and feel this and are fucking supporting me right along the way , every single step of the way as well .

So I was super excited to update you and at the same time I don't have specific details as far as an update goes . I can tell you that we're keeping Moonday musings . I fucking love Moonday , you love Moonday . Moonday's not going anywhere .

But there's some different types of episode topics that I've been really wanting to test out and explore and I want to expand on the guests that we're bringing on the show . I want to also give myself the space and capacity to be able to be a guest on other shows and a guest in other people's universes as well .

So that's part of my intentions with my remapping right now as well . I want all of this to just naturally flow and nourish directly into That Witch School . So there's just a lot of little haps behind the scenes right now , but it feels so good and I'm recording when it feels good right now .

This is the first time I haven't recorded on a chronological basis . I've always done a chronological structure and strategy with the podcast , where sometimes I batch ahead of time , but even that is for a handful of weeks . I've never gone farther than a month and I just record in order that I'm going to release things .

So if I recorded for the following month , then in a couple of weeks I'd record for the following month after that and that's the flow I was in for a while .

I'm going to try a new way , a new method and approach that some other podcasters do , where I'm recording things where they feel good , where they fit on the schedule , and I'm compiling all of season five right now and it feels really weird , but in the best way , to be doing it this way , because it's just not like how I've ever , ever , ever released and

done a podcast before . I've always done this ahead of time , in chronological order thing , and it's been great for my organizational flow .

And now that I've really mastered a lot of my organizational flow , especially now that we've moved and started settling some roots and making our routines , it's time to start changing it up a little bit , to tap into that creative flow and exploring new avenues through my creativity . So it feels really good . I'm really excited .

What's coming out for season five so far is really really cool .

Just recording things on a really deeply intuitive level like this , I think it's going to super resonate with everybody and I'll continue recording Moonday in a chronological format for myself and releasing it , obviously the same way I do right now , as a forecasty , inspirational , informational weekly episode that keeps you on track , keeps me on track all the same as

well . So we're definitely keeping Moonday the way that it is and I think that's going to help me feel like that organizational consistency is still there and helping create the stability .
