Both living in America with a whole lot of thoughts. Every other week they pull up and talk about life, culture, identity, and whatever is taking up space in their heads. Sometimes it gets deep. Sometimes it gets messy. But it is always honest. Chosen Kin is not here to settle the diaspora wars but to prove that chosen family shows up no matter where you're from. New episodes every other Saturday. Produced by Culture of Color Collective.https://chosen-kin.captivate.fmtrueepisodicnopodcastWhen the Saints Get Secular with Lindsey of AudMagicWhen the Saints Get Secular with Lindsey of AudMagicChosen Kin is back for spooky season with a conversation on faith, astrology, and what happens when the religion you grew up with no longer fits. Bia and Harry welcome Lindsey of AudMagic, a tarot reader, Reiki practitioner, and sound healer.

From Kirk Franklin and GloRilla’s “This Time” to a youth minister who thought Mary Mary didn’t look Christian, we share stories about growing up in the church and how that has evolved our spirituality. Lindsey shares how she went from leading Young Life to practicing divination, explains the nuances of hoodoo, and why your zodiac sign isn’t an excuse for bad behavior. They talk about deconstructing on your own terms and the red flags to watch for in a spiritual mentor.
