   Ep: 101: Introduction to Supernatural Sisterhood and interview with Dominic Zenden

   Some of the women in the paranormal community have created a new movement called Supernatural Sisterhood. The Supernatural Sisterhood is a movement that supports others, promotes wellbeing and positive mental health. Asafe space, whether online or in person for people to turn to without fear of judgement. Not just for women, but for anyone who has felt the wrath of negativity, unsolicited advances, bullying or any other situation that has made them feel anything less than the person they are. Sadly, the paranormal community has of late become more vulnerable to negative and toxic behaviours. We want to challenge those behaviours. This is a place where we as a community can make a positive impact, to stand strong against unwelcome and destructivebehaviours. We welcome everyone of any gender, nationality, culture or disposition who wants to be involved in the paranormal community and see the world become a kinder, safer and more inclusive place. Our Facebook page can be found as,'Supernatural Sisterhood' and under the same name in TikTok and in the future on Instagram. Our founding members, Karen Fray,Catherine Cookson, Sarah Lou, Toni Corrigan, Mandy West, Emma Louise Thornton, Sarah Jane Ainsworth and myself (Michaela Ford). Our growing community look forward towelcoming you on this journey with us. SUPPORTING EACH OTHER IN THE PARANORMAL COMMUNITY Our main episode this week welcomes back one of our most lovely and sadly missed guests, Dominic Zenden. Dominic encapsulated everything that the Paranormal Sisterhood stands for; community, positivity, inclusion and kindness. I though it would be a fitting episode to replay. Enjoy! And remember... TOGETHER WE CAN FIGURE IT OUT!
