To all my Dragon Ladies – the artists, disruptors, mystics, and misfits. It's time to unshame and reclaim ourselves–to live fiercely devoted to our truth.
theshiftis.substack.com (https://theshiftis.substack.com?utm_medium=podcast)
This is such a special episode featuring soul sister, Jo Situ. Jo is a multidimensional artist, chef extraordinaire, and Founder of Dirty Eraser (https://dirtyeraser.com/) and Eat Like An Artist.
After listening to episode 2 (“How Separation Led Me Back Home to Myself”), Jo felt that it was finally time to bravely share her own story of death and rebirth through her recent divorce in her 40’s.
As Chinese-American women and mothers, we discuss traditional standards and expectations around marriage and motherhood within our culture.
We talk about the importance of feminine desire and pleasure and ultimately choosing life over death. This cathartic and powerful conversation will take you through the full spectrum – we cry, we laugh, we hug, and we talk about orgasms over botox. Join us.
~~~~~~~~~
We also announce a super special 3-part event series we’re co-hosting in LA, called THE FEMININE DOMAINES. This event is dedicated to feeding that flame of desire and pleasure within all women and femmes. Join us for a magical evening retreat exploring our sacred 7 senses: sight, sound, smell, touch, taste, wonder, and knowing.
Expect:
* Art + Poetry
* Edible Altar + Herbal Mocktails ft. Anima Mundi Apothecary
* Intuitive Magic + a Collective Reading
* Light Breathwork
* Communion
The first one is FRIDAY, OCTOBER 16TH, in a gorgeous candlelit garden at The Preserve LA in East Hollywood from 7-9:30pm.

How Bondage Can Set You Free
Recording this episode with my dear friend, Ellen Wong, felt revolutionary in so many ways. We both experienced a 1:1 Sensual Shibari session with Jaqueline Michelle (https://www.instagram.com/jaquemich) that blew us wide open in similar and different ways. For those who are unfamiliar, Shibari is the Japanese art of rope bondage.
In the first half of the episode, we discuss our upbringing as Asian women and how that shaped our relationship to sex, our bodies, and our sensuality.
Around the 37-minute mark, we dish on the actual details of the session – the good, the bad, the pain, the pleasure. It was a sacred, ceremonial, psychedelic, liberating, and profound initiation on so many levels. If you’ve ever been curious about BDSM or just trying something new that intrigues you (and scares you a little), you’ll want to tune into this episode!
*Note: This episode was recorded in July 2025.
**Apologies that the video and audio quality is not perfect at times, but I’m sure you’ll still get a ton out of this episode!

How Separation Led Me Back Home to Myself
This short, but potent, episode feels like a confession of so much that has been buried in shame for me the past few years.
At the beginning of this year, my marriage took a turn I didn’t foresee. It’s clear now that this wasn’t the beginning of a descent, it was the end – rock bottom. The past few years have felt like traversing the underworld in my own personal descent of Inanna. (IYKYK) But what I discovered at the very bottom, after everything else was stripped away, was simply myself.
Though this is deeply personal, and I’ve struggled with if or how to share this story, it felt important to bring some aspects to light and lay this on the altar, too. Unconditional self-love is an ongoing journey that I humbly walk beside you all. I hope this supports you on your own. <3

How I Became a Witch + An Akashic Message for 2026
In this inaugural episode, I share my story of how I remembered and reclaimed the witch in me, as well as how I stumbled upon the Akashic Records (a record of your soul’s entire journey, including all lifetimes).
I go deep into the witch wound, the mother wound, and my challenges through the initiation–and ultimately portal– of new motherhood.
I share why I started this podcast and what “Dragon Lady” means to me. My hope is we create a small utopian corner of the world where your truth is always welcome.
I end with an Akashic message and tarot reading for the rest of 2026. Hope you enjoy, and come back for more!
You can watch the video version on her YouTube channel, Dragon Lady Podcast here (https://www.youtube.com/@DragonLadyPodcast). Don’t forget to like, subscribe, share, and leave a review if you enjoyed the episode!
Let’s make some magic + mischief!
