I am honored to share What the Dead Told Me, a mythic fiction podcast about death, grief, love, transformation, and the mysteries that wait beyond the veil.

The story follows Gloria, a witch who dies in the desert and awakens on a journey through a series of gates leading toward the Land Below. Along the way, she encounters ancient forces, parallel worlds, and difficult truths about herself, love, power, and healing.

This project grew from my fascination with storytelling, ritual, and the transformative power of grief. It is a story for those who have loved deeply, lost deeply, and continue searching for meaning in the unknown.

    Gloria, the most powerful witch of the Southlands, flees into the desert as those who fear her magic close in. On the edge of death, she hears the Land Below calling her home.

    But no one enters the underworld unchanged.

    At the First Gate, Gloria is asked to surrender everything she believes defines her—her power, her purpose, her past—and to discover what remains when identity itself is stripped away.

    Episode 2 - The Second Gate
    May 8 2026

    Beyond the First Gate lies only darkness.

    Separated from her spirit guide and left alone with fear, Gloria wanders through an endless void where despair becomes her greatest teacher. As she learns to sit with every painful thought instead of fighting it, tiny lights begin to appear.

    Inspired by Starhawk's poem The Fifth Sacred Thing, this episode explores transformation not as triumph, but as surrender—the caterpillar dissolving before it discovers its wings.
