Totally Not Appropriate
Welcome to Totally Not Appropriate, where medicine meets mystery—and healing finally becomes whole.
Hosted by Taylor Sappington, a medical astrologer and herbalist blending 15 years of Western and Eastern practice, and Adrienne Irizarry, HWH, a reproductive rebel, cycle alchemist and East Asian medicine practitioner rewriting the story of women’s health, this podcast is a sanctuary for the witches in the broom closet, the healers in hiding, and the ones who walk between worlds but have been told it’s safer to stay silent.
We don’t buy into quick fixes or cookie-cutter care. We bring together the science of the body, the wisdom of the Earth, and the patterns written in the sky. We’re here to challenge the systems that left us unseen, to honor the ancient ways that still work, and to show you that the most powerful medicine is always rooted in who you are.
Each week, we’ll dive into raw, real conversations about healing, identity, and reclamation. From sage to SSRIs, acupuncture to astrology, herbal remedies to holy revelations—we hold space for it all. Because clinical isn’t enough.
This is your reminder, your permission, your initiation: the safest thing you can be is yourself.

The 5 Types Of Friendship Breakups
Not every heartbreak is romantic—and some of the deepest wounds come from the friendships we thought would last forever.
In this episode, I’m walking you through the five most common ways friendships end, from the slow fades to the explosive exits. Whether you’ve been ghosted without warning, drifted apart from someone you once considered family, or had a full-on blow-up that still echoes in your chest—this conversation is here to help you find meaning, closure, and emotional clarity.
You’ll learn:
- Why the Mutual Drift is often the most confusing (and the most natural)
- What to do when you’re the one holding all the effort in a One-Sided Fade
- How to navigate a Formal Breakup with integrity and truth
- The emotional and energetic fallout of The Blow Up—and how to alchemize it
- How to stop internalizing pain from The Sudden Ghost and reclaim your peace
We’ll also touch on the wisdom of Aristotle, Jung, Sartre, and Hegel to reframe your heartbreak not as failure—but as a rite of passage in your evolution.
This episode isn’t just about loss. It’s about emotional maturity, nervous system healing, and choosing peace over performance.
