and now for something completely different…

when Shoshana isn’t creating sacred space in the OutWitch community, she is part of:

Lisa & Shoshana

After an 18 year estrangement, these two former collaborators and best friends agreed to work through the grief of their devastating breakup. Five sessions in a recording booth later, they’d confronted every tension that had arisen during their decade-long creative partnership. They’d also confronted every single fart that had arisen in that booth during five sessions.

And they did it together.

Lisa and Shoshana are a comedy duo based in Toronto, Canada

The Podcast

Lisa and Shoshana have got a new podcast – hq. They talk about letting go and moving on, about why we’re all so codependent and how we can get free. They get curious about relationships, finding your people, the intimate details of intimate relationships, antiracism, aging, all the grief… getting lighter, becoming more receptive, and listening to your inner empress. Plus tarot readings! It all takes place from Shoshana’s closet.

Find hq on Apple, Anchor and Spotify.
