    “Live and Let Live”: Full moon vintage dyes with La Chuza Blanca Vintage 🌙

    “Live and Let Live”: Full moon vintage dyes with La Chuza Blanca Vintage 🌙

    In this episode, I eat cookies and talk magic with Sam with La Chuza Blanca Vintage. Sam is a star-seller on Etsy and is known for her full moon vintage tie dyes. We discuss her origins, how the Universe speaks to us through nature, how David Bowie inspired La Chuza Blanca, and her passed down love of vintage clothes. We delve even deeper with reminders not to build borders and not letting our magic die. Grab a cup a coffee and maybe add some cinnamon to it (a Sam favorite) and have a laugh with us in this magical conversation.

Highly recommend

Michelle has a pure soul and you can feel it as well as her overwhelming kind and peaceful energy. Listening to Michelle will create a peace in your soul by her soothing voice.

Better but still not there yet ,

Like a favorite book I keep coming back to

This podcast is a BEAUTIFUL work of art. I have listened to all of the episodes multiple times and I get just as lost in the details each time, as when I first listened to them. Do yourself a favor and listen to this podcast. Michelle is a talented and insightful creator.
