Practical Magic:
Alchemical recipes for how to inject more magic into your everyday routines with the raw materials that we already have inside us and around us.

Episodes offering reverence to some little-known yet truly magical wonders and processes of our natural world and the physical bodies we call home.

Detailed answers to the specific questions you send me on Magical Living.
Meet the Host
After experiencing a devastating burnout in 2018 whilst doing what I loved, I realised I’d have to take a much more proactive approach to protect and replenish my most precious resource: my own energy.
Thus began my Year of Magical Living, a delicious, year-long experiment devoted to the prioritisation of my most frivolous, non-monetisable and unproductive pursuits.
I ingrained regular habits of writing, stretching, socialising and even ice skating …and then watched as nothing in my work and business fell apart. Instead, my life being full, magical and exquisite to live.
Many of the “alchemical recipes” I’ll be sharing in this podcast are tools I leaned on during my Year of Magical Living to repair my mind-body connection and heal sustainably from burnout.
As the pandemic wears on and our lives feel distinctly disconnected and un-magical, I hope some of these tools will work for you.
“Pure magic.
Imogen offers insight and inspiration that will transform the way you work, play, create and live. If the pandemic has forced you into a cocoon, her guidance will help to ensure you emerge from it the best version of yourself.”
