In this conversation, Xander sits down with my friend Raven Hinojosa to trace the threads of our connection—how ritual, magic, and care weave through our friendship. We talk about:

• How our relationship shifted when Raven joined me in disability and illness

• Following ease and pleasure, even in pain

• Evolving and unfurling without needing to “fix” ourselves

• The role of ritual and creativity in deepening love and interdependence

This episode is an invitation into the ways friendship, disability, and magic hold us together.

Stay tender. Stay tangled. Stay held together.
