Summary
Host Megan Hamilton speaks with Mary Maksoud, also known as the Steminist Witch, about how science, spirituality, and energy work intersect. Mary shares her path from a deeply Christian and scientific worldview into witchcraft, and why she sees intention, meditation, and collective consciousness as practical tools for healing and change. They also dig into the limits of modern research, the role of women in clinical trials, misinformation, AI, and why spirituality can still be a source of hope in a stressful world.
