The Beginning of Us: Magic, Truth, and Divine Union

In our very first episode, we open the doors wide and invite you into our world—raw, real, and full of magic. This is the beginning of The Magical Story of Us, where we share not only the sacred and the sensual, but also the sticky and the shadowy. We talk about our journey from being two pretty Mormon parents into lovers, partners, and creators walking the path of divine union. This episode sets the stage for what’s to come: conscious co-creation, infidelity and forgiveness, sacred sex, ritual magic, and the gritty truth of what it takes to love fully—including the monster parts. Britton shares, “Magic is manifestation in all of its aspects,” and we explore how ritual and intention have become the foundation of everything we now build—from homes to healing. We speak honestly about the turning points in our relationship—how betrayal became a portal, and how holding on to our truths, even when it felt like it could end everything, actually gave birth to a new beginning. “If what I say ends everything, so be it. Now, it never ended for us.” That line sums up the wild courage it took to survive and deepen our love. We also touch on conscious parenting, the divine third entity that is our union, and how playful kink and emotional alchemy have become tools in our toolbox. Carolee shares a powerful moment from Egypt that mirrored her own internal judgments, prompting the question: “What part of the wild woman in you are you not loving?” This podcast is about claiming it all—and loving it all. This isn’t spa-day self-care. This is deep, gritty self-love. The kind where you meet your shadow, love your monster, and ask your partner, “Can you love this part of me too?” And when the answer is yes, everything begins to change.
