As reported by HELLO!, Mystic Mates launches on July 13. New episodes will drop every Monday on Spotify and other major podcast platforms.
The podcast description calls it a “space for funny, honest and deeply personal conversations”. Helen and Yvette plan to explore “relationships, motherhood and grief to intuition and spirituality”.
The description also says: “Fascination with the mystic has never been more mainstream. As Helen puts it, ‘mention tarot and everyone suddenly has a story.’ Whether people believe or not, they’re curious.
“They want to share their own experiences, hear someone else’s and linger on the unexplainable.”
It continues: “Whether you’re a lifelong believer, simply curious or somewhere in between, Mystic Mates is a welcoming space that doesn’t take itself too seriously.”
