Part Two of a Two-Part Interview with Author Ariel Sarullo
In Podcast 67 (Part 2), we welcome back author Ariel Sarullo to talk about her life in Japan and her behind-the-scenes work at an animation company.

Ariel explains what “anime” means, how Studio Ghibli helped spark her love of Japanese storytelling, and what it really takes to relocate and build a life in another country. She also gives a broad look at the anime production pipeline, from scripts and storyboards to animation and voice recording sessions.

Ariel’s mystery novel, The Wild Rose Alliance, is available on Amazon (ebook, paperback, and Kindle Unlimited).

Part One of a Two-Part Interview with Author Ariel Sarullo

A small town never forgets.
It just waits.

In Podcast 66, Part One of our two-part conversation with author Ariel Sarullo, we explore her debut novel The Wild Rose Alliance—a quiet mystery about late coming-of-age, inherited stories, and the long shadow the past casts over the present.

This episode is about:

• Small towns and buried truth
• Becoming an adult later than expected
• Writing a first novel
• Why growing up isn’t a single event

If you’ve ever felt out of sync with the timeline you were handed, this conversation will feel familiar.

Menopause is not a moment. It’s a season. For many of us, it’s a long one.

In today’s episode, we talk about the emotions that can show up when fertility ends, how family dynamics can shift, and why empathy for yourself is not optional. We also share tools that helped us through the changes, from simple supports to bigger interventions, plus resources you can use right away.

Full episode is up now, and we’re posting the long-form resources alongside it.\

The world feels locked in the red ray—force, threat, intimidation. Our mentor, Oh Shinnáh, taught that a shift is underway toward the violet ray—compassion, balance, repair. The goal isn’t to erase strength. It is to transmute it.

In this week’s Wisdom Wednesday we name the teaching, honor the line of wild, wise women who kept it alive—from Hildegard to Mary Magdalene—and offer four practices you can start now: forgive, self-reflect, speak to restore, add a simple ritual.

From war to weaving. Start today. Full episode on the red vs. violet rays is coming—stay tuned.
