Ghost Stories, Gut Feelings & the Spirit of Sisterhood

Season three kicks off with a chill — and a little witchy wisdom. Kate and Tansy welcome bestselling author and journalist Karina Machado (Spirit Sisters, Where Spirits Dwell, Love Never Dies) for a conversation that walks the line between the seen and unseen.From a 1950s plumber who swore he saw Roman soldiers marching through a wall, to childhood seances, ancestral whispers, and intuitive downloads, the trio explore why some stories stay with us — and why women might just be more tuned‑in than we’ve ever admitted.Karina shares how her Uruguayan‑Spanish roots, a life‑changing walk along the Camino de Santiago, and decades of interviewing ordinary people with extraordinary experiences have deepened her belief that intuition, ancestry, and energy are all part of the same tapestry.Kate and Tansy add their own encounters (yes, there’s a Victorian ghost girl in a bath scene) and unpack why modern women are reclaiming their intuition — not as superstition, but as science, spirit, and self‑trust.It’s the perfect Halloween episode: spooky, soulful, and strangely comforting.Find all Karina's books here: https://karinamachado.com/booksChapters00:00 – Welcome & the 1953 York Ghost Story09:00 – Karina’s Ancestral Intuition & The Camino16:00 – The Ouija Board That Went Too Far23:00 – Kate & Tansy’s Own Hauntings28:00 – The Rise of the Divine Feminine36:00 - Colonialism, Spiritual Rebellion & Reclaiming Witchery41:00 Final Reflections & Spirit Sisters Podcast Plug#TheBluntAndTheBeautiful #Season3 #HalloweenEpisode #SpiritSisters #KarinaMachado #GhostStories #FeminineEnergy #Intuition #WitchyWomen #HauntedHistory #PodcastDrop #KateAndTansy #SukinBeauty #PopCultureWithSpirit #MotherDaughterPodcast #AustralianPodcasts
