Waking Up The Blue Collar Astrologer: From Skateboarding to the Stars with Mike Mayes

This week on Waking Up The Witch, Amber and Taylar welcome Mike Mayes, also known as the Blue Collar Astrologer, for a raw and real conversation about authenticity, astrology, and carving your own path.Mike shares stories from his upbringing in Louisville, Kentucky—shaped by contrasting parental influences, punk rock energy, skate culture, and a father involved in a motorcycle gang. His early life was anything but conventional, and those experiences became the fuel for a winding journey through skateboarding, acting, stand-up comedy, and eventually, astrology.We talk about what it means to live truthfully, even when the road looks nothing like what you were taught to expect. Mike opens up about how astrology became a tool for self-understanding and healing, offering insight into Chiron, personal wounds, and the power of aligning with who you actually are—not who the world told you to be.This episode is an invitation to embrace your weird, your wisdom, and your wild path—and to trust that every detour is part of the map.✨ Themes We ExploreGrowing up in Louisville with layered family dynamicsPunk rock, skate culture, and shaping identityNavigating a non-linear life pathFrom acting and comedy to astrologyAuthenticity as a spiritual practiceAstrology as a tool for growth and healingChiron, wounds, and wisdomEmbracing your unique callingAligning with your true selfFollow Mike on IG @bluecollarastrologer and TikTok @astrologermikemayes and visit his website at astro-mike-mayes.web.appSubscribe to "Waking Up the Witch" for more mystical tales and enlightening conversations.You can WATCH this episode on our Waking Up The Witch YouTube channel 👀Connect with us on social media, and don't forget to leave a magical review! 🧙‍♀️✨TikTok & Instagram @wakingupthewitchSupport the Podcast:- Patreon : patreon.com/wakingupthewitchThank you for listening!
