Mystical Musings
Two Mystics. One Friendship. Endless Transformation.
Each week, spiritual guides Jennifer Taylor and Tava Baird open sacred, unscripted, space for soul-stretching insights, and spontaneously channeled messages and songs - led by the divine, but grounded in laughter and humility.
The hosts' close friendship forms the foundation of the podcast's alchemy - fostering openness, vulnerability, and trust; inviting listeners into their inner circle with warmth and authenticity.
Come as you are to this sacred space. You are welcome and honored here.
