  • What Exactly IS Mojo & Why All the Outrage?
    Dec 20 2020

    It’s the final episode of Mojo Girl Madness (unless I do another season at some point) and we’ve got a rant or two, a few raves and recommendations, and some all-important resolutions. We’ll also discuss the definition of MOJO – and what helps build it up!

    Note: this episode may start with a teensy rant on the phrase "Happy Holidays," but it's an evergreen episode that's worth hearing any time, any day, any year. Enjoy!

  • Our Bodies, Our Insanity
    Dec 6 2020

    If I could add back into my life every minute I’ve spent obsessing about my weight, I’d live another 20 years... So, what’s a Mojo Girl to do? We’re supposed to love ourselves for who we are, not for what we look like, right? Well, that’s super difficult for me. How about you? Let’s discuss.

  • Understanding Parents
    Nov 29 2020

    When we’re forced to look at our parents as people, often flawed people, there are usually things about them we must...reckon with.

    I’ve done a lot of reckoning over the years about my parents, mostly in an effort to find reasons why they did what they did, made the choices they made, and behaved as they behaved – and about how all of that went into who I am as a person.

    All that thinking about my parents finally lead me to place of understanding, sympathy and ultimately forgiveness.

    These thoughts about my parents are incredibly personal, but I think still universal. I hope you take away from this podcast thoughts of your own parents, and how they helped shape you and your life.

  • Old Friends Talk About Life, Part Two
    Nov 22 2020

    THIS IS PART TWO of your feel-good and thought-provoking episode with two of the most wonderful people anywhere: Elaine Williams and Ricky Day.

    Normally Elaine, Ricky and I would be chatting over margaritas at El Coyote in Hollywood, California, when Ricky’s visiting from New York. This time it’s a virtual chat - but the discussion is just as compelling - and we’re still drinking margaritas! Join us!

    We cover everything from the pursuit of happiness to politics, equality, God, getting older, and dancing on a Soul Train line.

    Elaine Williams is an internationally recognized Senior Acting Instructor specializing in the Meisner Technique at the Joanne Baron/DW Brown Studio in Santa Monica, CA. Her classes, along with those of all instructors, are now available via Zoom. Please visit BaronBrown.com

    Ricky Day is an award-winning visual artist, photographer, and filmmaker working primarily with themes related to identity, pop-culture and the African American experience. He lives and works in Harlem, New York. RickyDayStudio.com

  • Old Friends Talk About Life, Part One
    Nov 15 2020

    It’s PART ONE of your feel-good and thought-provoking episode with two of the most wonderful people anywhere, Elaine Williams and Ricky Day.

    Normally, we’d be chatting over margaritas at El Coyote in Hollywood, when Ricky’s visiting from New York. This time it’s a virtual happy hour, but the discussion is just as compelling. We cover everything from our days as tour guides at Universal Studios and Ricky being Michael Jackson’s stand-in on Thriller, to what pronouns we’re using, racism, diversity in casting and self-love, God & religion, the pursuit of happiness and Elaine’s parents being married by Martin Luther King, Jr.

    This week’s and next week's are episodes we probably all need to listen to a couple of times...

  • Meditation Mojo
    Nov 5 2020

    You know what we need right now? Some down time. Some mental down time. It really is time to chill our minds, cool down, clear out the negativity, and reboot our heads. How, you say? Well, right now, Mojo’s madly in love... with meditating.

    So, kick back and absorb some meditational info, followed by TWO political-themed guided meditations, one for the Biden victory (11:43), one for if Trump actually was able to have stolen the election - or if you just want to laugh a little (21:18).

  • The Witch & The B*tch on Politics
    Oct 31 2020

    Need some left-wing bias to push you forward? Need to know what the stars say about our future? (I'm talking actual stars, not the Hollywood type) You've got all that and more with this special election episode.

    Even if you've found this podcast post-election day - that's cool! Sadly, everything we talk about here will still be around for a while, so let's vent and educate each other with the magical Naketa Starkey, one of Mojo's favorite people.

    Naketa's a delightful smartass, snark enthusiast, unicorn aficionado and an actual sorceress. She's a political nerd and also tells us what's in store for us from an astrological POV. Mojo was pleasantly surprised. You may be, too.

    So, settle in for a passionate episode about WTF is going on in our country.

    If you’d like to get a magical & astrological reading about YOUR future from our guest today, Naketa, please send her an email at Naketa.Starkey@gmail.com
