What if the thing you keep calling self-sabotage isn’t actually trying to ruin your life? What if it thinks it’s protecting you?

In this episode of Chats with Aunt Jacki, I’m joined by my friend Amy Blackthorn, author of Blackthorn’s Botanical Shadow Work, to dig into the strange ways our old fears, beliefs, habits, and coping mechanisms can keep doing the jobs we gave them years ago—even when they’re no longer helping.

We talk about why knowing better doesn’t always mean doing better, the hidden rewards inside the patterns we swear we want to change, and why self-sabotage may be less of an enemy and more of a messenger. We also get into burnout versus laziness, the dopamine hit of ideas, why patterns are easier to see when we step back, forgiveness, journaling, botanical allies, and the role curiosity plays in real shadow work.

Because sometimes the question isn’t, “How do I make myself stop doing this?”

It’s, “What is this part of me trying to tell me?”

Cymatics and Frequencies Cymatics is a term coined by Hans Jenny, a Swiss physician. Basically, Cymatics frequencies refer to the study of how sound and vibrations can affect physical objects/items, like sand, powder, water, etc. In this episode I share both research and my own belief on how the frequency of thoughts, words and vibration can affect and change our surroundings and as creators of our existence, our lives. If you’re interested in digging deeper into this concept, check out the following information that was discussed: Masaru Emoto books: The Hidden Messages in Water the True Power of Water the Miracle of Water.

William J. Hall is a seasoned investigator and accomplished author who has dedicated his career to exploring the world of the unexplained, earning respect for his thoughtful, rigorous approach to paranormal research. He is best known for his bestselling book The World’s Most Haunted House: The True Story of the Bridgeport Poltergeist on Lindley Street. This book is considered one of the most thorough and credible examinations of a classic American haunting—a 1974 Connecticut case so dramatic it drew crowds, baffled police and firemen, and became the subject of national headlines. Hall carefully compiles and analyzes eyewitness testimony, historical records, and investigative reports to create a detailed, balanced account that neither dismisses nor sensationalizes the events. Hall’s commitment to serious research continues in The Haunted House Diaries, which delves into decades of strange occurrences centered on a seemingly ordinary home in rural Connecticut. Through diary entries, interviews, and field investigations, he reveals a tapestry of eerie experiences that hint at portals, overlapping dimensions, and an unseen world intersecting with our own. Hall’s work stands out for its meticulous documentation and respect for witnesses, offering readers a thoughtful exploration of hauntings rather than simple ghost stories. One of Hall’s most distinctive assets is his extensive background in magic. As a performing magician with over 30 years of experience, he understands the art of deception, illusion, and misdirection. This expertise makes him exceptionally well-equipped to identify fraud, trickery, or natural explanations that might fool less critical observers. For Hall, the point isn’t simply to prove that ghosts exist, but to find the truth—whatever it may be—behind the strange and unsettling experiences people report. Beyond hauntings, Hall’s curiosity spans the full range of unexplained mysteries. He is an experienced researcher of folklore, urban legends, fortune telling, ancient monuments like the pyramids, and other subjects that blur the line between history and myth. His broad interests allow him to place local ghost stories in a global context, comparing patterns of belief and investigating the universal human need to explain the unexplainable. Hall has also made his insights accessible to the public through writing and media appearances. For six years, he wrote a syndicated newspaper column titled “Magic and the Unknown,” where he explored a wide variety of paranormal topics, always balancing skepticism and open-mindedness. His thoughtful style and willingness to follow the evidence wherever it leads have earned him interviews and features in media outlets around the world. Despite his deep immersion in eerie and unsettling subjects, Hall maintains a grounded, approachable presence. He currently lives in Plainville, Connecticut, with his two sons. When he’s not researching, writing, or speaking about paranormal phenomena, he draws on his lifelong love of magic to entertain and educate others about how easily the senses can be fooled.

An atmospheric tale of mystery and the supernatural, set against the shadowy backdrop of London's Thames Embankment. Something about London after dark feels peculiarly unsettling. Beneath the gas lamps, beside the silent river, the familiar streets can take on an entirely different character. Sometimes, an ordinary encounter may leave questions that no answer can answer much. In tonight's reading, we return to early twentieth-century supernatural fiction with `On the Embankment`, a little-known tale by Hugh E. Wright. Christopher Halton reads for Haunted Tales of Darkness
