The Magic Within Us

Our Summer Solstice drop.☀️
Sometimes the universe doesn't ask you to become someone new. It simply asks you to remember who you've always been.
Twelve years away from painting. One decision brought Heather back.
In this episode, Los Angeles based abstract painter Heather Waymouth, known artistically as Hey Way, shares the story behind her return to art. From childhood dreams to marketing burnout to the morning she woke up and decided she didn't care what anyone thought anymore.
We talk about:✨ How to move through the fear of showing your work to the world✨ The rituals that get you back into creative flow when you're stuck✨ Impostor syndrome and the journal practice she uses to remember herself✨ Shadow seasons and why every artist has to have the dark with the light✨ What it feels like to part with a painting ("like your kid going off to college")✨ Building community through creativity✨ Creating a life that finally feels like yours
The Summer Solstice is the year's brightest turning. A season for expansion, expression, and coming back to the parts of yourself you've been keeping quiet. Heather's story is exactly that.
Whether you've been meaning to come back to a hobby, a dream, or a version of yourself, this one is for you.

What's your gift? ✨

In this episode of The Magic Within Us, we sit down with medium and tarot reader Reis Armstrong to explore the moment everything changed.
After a deeply personal experience in his late 20s, Reis stepped into his gift of mediumship - one that had quietly lived within his family for generations. What followed was a rapid awakening, a first reading the very next day, and a journey into trusting what he could no longer ignore.
We talk about what it actually feels like to connect with spirit, navigating doubt and imposter syndrome, and how grief - both personal and inherited - can shape the way we move through the world.
Reis also shares what it means to exist outside the traditional image of a medium, and how embracing all parts of himself has become part of his work.
This is a conversation about trusting your instincts, honoring your path, and allowing yourself to become who you were always meant to be.
