Throwing Light

by Brandy Walker

The opposite of throwing shade, TL explores the intersection of spirituality and mental health. With a hefty dose of metaphysics and a whole lot of vulnerability, TL asks questions like: What does it mean to co-create with the universe? Does magic exist? What can ordinary people do about the great injustices of our time? What does living a meaningful life look like? Can we make coffee a food group? Host Brandy Walker attempts to answer these questions, and start new conversations about old paradigms, all while being her awkward, adorable self.

    I have long considered myself a nomad. In 15 years, I've lived in at least 15 homes. But something happened along the way. The more I moved, the harder it became.

  4. From the Vault: What We Believe, Part 3

    There are two kinds of people—those who never cry and those who cry all the time. If you fall into the first camp, then you probably need a good cry.

  5. From the Vault: What We Believe, Part 2

  6. From the Vault: What We Believe, Part 1

    I've been gathering this research for a while, but for the longest time I was steeped in imposter syndrome and afraid I was not smart enough/good enough/had strong enough beliefs to share (ironic, I know).

    Let's cut straight to it: after much thought and deliberation, I have decided to shut down the Waitlist and change the way I do free readings. In this episode, I share my journey to that revelation and how I'm creating space to use my spiritual gifts in a way that supports myself as well as...

  29. Some thoughts on conspiracy theories

    I'm interested to hear what you think and see how this is going to land! My thought in creating this is that there might be other people who feel how I do. It's vulnerable to share the ideas that I have entertained, but I think it's important because it's so easy for us to get in our little…

  32. Your Spiritual Awakening (Part I)

    This episode is very raw. I think I was feeling anxious, and I say that because although I didn't realize it at the time, it definitely came through in my voice when I was editing. I think that's actually helpful. Like I mentioned, one of the things I'm working on right now is to allow myself the...

  33. A Reading for the Collective

    This is an idea I had a while ago, but I think I had to build up the confidence in my gifts. So glad I leaped! Whatever the response, it feels brave and holy. A few notes: I was able to get to the beach to "touch the face of Mother Earth with my feet" last weekend. In doing so, I was legitimately...

  34. Past Life Meditation

    On weekends, when I have a little more time to meditate, I go deep. Sometimes I read my Akashic Records or have a long chat with my guides.

  35. My Past Life as a Witch

    Regardless of whether or not this is "real," it was inspired (if that is the right word) from an actual event in my present life. TWs: Sexual Assault and Graphic Death These are difficult stories to talk about. But they are important. Tomorrow, I'll share a Past Life Meditation that I created and...

  36. The Birth Story of Micah May

    I hadn't listened to this since I recorded it last October. It was emotional, listening back to it while editing. There are things we forget with time. The pain that was so acute on a particular moment in history melts away and all we have is a vague memory that it meant something. The stories we...

  37. Legit Weird: Free Psychic Readings

    A couple of years ago, I became enchanted with the idea that I could have psychic gifts. I'm not 100% sure where the thought came from, but I started listening to a podcast called Psychic Teachers and I had a psychic aura reading from a friend and trained psychic. Sporadically, I offered what I...

  38. Jesus Wept: On Grief and Reincarnation

    It's helpful to talk about grief. It's helpful to try to wrap our heads around it—in part because we are, at least momentarily, removed from the all consuming nature of it and allowed to conceptualize its theory. Philosophy gives us a break in that way. In this episode, I tell the story of Jesus...

  39. Stardust

    I hope you find this helpful, especially if you are feeling a bit overwhelmed. Much love to you.

  42. Can You Find Joy and Peace in a Pandemic?

    We are in it, my friend, whatever "it" is. And now that the initial shock has worn off, it may be helpful to think about how we want to be while we're in it.

  43. Amanda Flaker and the Multidimensional Universe

    A couple of years ago, Amanda Flaker's YouTube channel stumbled onto my radar. I was more than a little intrigued by this seemingly magical being, often sitting in the woods, talking to "empath entrepreneurs" about shadow work and "exiting the matrix." These last few years, the way she...
