The Bitter + The Bloom
Welcome to The Bitter + The Bloom, a space where disabled voices lead the conversation on magic, resilience, and the occult. Join best friends Kaitlin and Carina as they navigate the messy 'bitter' of life with chronic illness and celebrate the 'bloom' of spiritual discovery. From accessible ritual-building and medical astrology to reading letters from our global community, we’re reclaiming our magic—one spoon at a time. Stay rooted in your magic and gentle with your heart. New episodes every Thursday Morning.

Bloom Notes #1: The Architect Of The Cage

Welcome to our very first Bloom Notes episode. While our main episodes are deep dives into the mystical and the botanical, these mini-episodes are dedicated to the "Living Archive"—a space for the raw, unpolished, and beautiful voices of our community.
In this inaugural session, Kaitlin leads the way by stepping into the role of the seeker. She shares a deeply personal, original poem written during a season of profound physical limitation.
Join the Archive:
