**AN EPISODE FOR ADULTS ONLY** This week on Meet My Friends, podcast favorite Alexandria Walters returns for our GREEN CHRISTMAS SPECIAL — and yes, it’s green for multiple reasons. What starts as a cozy, stoned holiday catch-up quickly spirals into one of the most unhinged conversations we’ve ever had. We talk moving into a new house, reinventing yourself for the new year… and then Alex casually drops that she attended a rated-M, adults-only party in North Hollywood that absolutely did not involve mistletoe. As the edibles kick in, the tea gets hotter:✨ college-era Hollywood stories✨ interviewing (and later partying with) a very famous movie star: Boxers or Briefs? ✨ and the unforgettable revelation that Alex once fell asleep at a party… on the couch… next to her biggest celebrity crush!!!! We debate apocalypse survival skills, spiral into conspiracy theories, play a very unholy round of F** / Marry / Kill*, and prove once again that Christmas hits different when you’re stoned with your best friend. This episode is chaotic, nostalgic, deeply funny, and very much Rated M for Merry. 🎄💨 Listener discretion advised.🎧 New episodes every week.

This week on Meet My Friends, host Lindsay St. Laurent (@filmakeher) sits down with two visionary North Hollywood creators — Celina Lee and Danielle Ozymandias, the founders of The Witch’s Cottage, NoHo’s newest community hub, artist sanctuary, and witchy haven. Located inside the historic old Federal building, The Witch’s Cottage is being hand-built with intention, magic, and the help of neighbors who saw the sign in the window and simply showed up. Celina and Danielle share how their dream transformed from years of shared messages and Pinterest boards into a living, breathing community space that blends witchcraft, craftwork, storytelling, gaming, baking, activism, and heart. We talk about the construction process, their origin story, the people who came out of nowhere to help, and what it means to build something deeply meaningful in a neighborhood still recovering its artistic soul. This episode is about friendship, community, reinvention — and what happens when witches decide to take over a federal building. 🔮 In This Episode, We Explore: ✨ Building a community space from scratch🏚️ Reinventing a historic NoHo building with intention🧹 Kitchen witchery, spell work & spiritual grounding🎮 Their Dungeons & Dragons tavern space🥖 Baking, business, and sustainable creative practices🌙 How neighbors became volunteers, and volunteers became family🔥 What The Witch’s Cottage means for NoHo’s future 🔗 The Witch’s Cottage Links ✨ Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/thewitchscottage1111/ 🛍️ Saturday December 6 — Maker’s Market (Parking Lot Event):https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-hearth-market-at-the-witchs-cottage-tickets-1975219459575?utm-campaign=social&utm-content=attendeeshare&utm-medium=discovery&utm-term=listing&utm-source=cp&aff=ebdsshcopyurl 🌱 WeFunder — Support The Witch’s Cottage:https://wefunder.com/thewitchscottage?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAae9Ooq89d9HydRXD-bE_NXXzsJ8WJCo5my71sUlMlYjrEjh0roGb0aUvMZpGQ_aem_tPWc3cfYi3agtOsLkXi9cA 🌐 Official Website:https://www.witchscottage.com/ 📱 Follow the Friends: 🎙 Lindsay St. Laurent — @filmakeher🔮 The Witch’s Cottage — @thewitchscottage1111 🎧 Subscribe, rate & review Meet My Friends — it helps this show grow and keeps magical episodes like this alive.

This week on Meet My Friends, host Lindsay St. Laurent (@filmakeher) welcomes back one of the show’s most beloved voices — Lord Hammer, also known as Casey Flammond (@lordhammer14). In his most grounded and open conversation yet, Casey shares parts of his life he’s never fully spoken about publicly — including his heritage as a member of the Indigenous Lakota Tribe in South Dakota: The Burnt Thigh People. We also explore spiritual concepts — from rainbow beings and starseeds, to the Indigenous understanding of Two Spirit — and how these ideas helped shape Casey’s sense of belonging, purpose, and growth this past year. 🔗 Referenced in This Episode 🎬 Documentary — Sioux / Lakota Indigenous History“The Sioux: The First Peoples”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCHZTn5Bk3o 🎵 Spirit Medicine Song — Episode Opening“Thunder Spirit – Lakota Healing Song”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NwUxXQlKvHs ✨ In this conversation, we explore: 🪶 Indigenous heritage & lineage 🌈 Rainbow beings, starseeds & spiritual identity ⚧ Two Spirit spirit energy & identity beyond labels 💔 Dating while healing & growing 🧭 What this year taught him about direction & self-worth 🎭 Why authenticity is the real success story It’s a conversation about roots, identity, healing, and forward motion — one season of life at a time. 📱 Follow the Friends: 🎙 Lindsay St. Laurent — @filmakeher🔨 Lord Hammer (Casey Flammond) — @lordhammer14 🎧 Subscribe, rate & review Meet My Friends — it truly helps the show grow, and it means more than you know. 🔑 SEO / Tags #MeetMyFriends #LordHammer #LakotaTribe #IndigenousVoices #TwoSpirit #Starseeds #RainbowBeings #BurntThighPeople #HealingJourney #SpiritualIdentity #PodcastCommunity

This week on Meet My Friends, host Lindsay St. Laurent (@filmakeher) is joined by podcast favorites Alexandria Walters (@yoalexandria) and Charlie Rojas (Spotify: Charlie Rojas). What started as a simple recap of our Halloween weekends turned instantly into a plot twist worthy of a season finale:Alex’s ex-boyfriend — yes, the one we’ve discussed here on the pod — is already ENGAGED.And the breakup?Only two months ago. Charlie arrived at the studio holding the hottest subway-platform tea in North America, and it's NOT EARL GREY. What followed was shock, jokes, emotional processing, and a level of disbelief only this podcast could capture. Throughout 2025, Alex has generously and bravely allowed us into her real life — the highs, the heartbreaks, the laughter-through-tears — and this moment is one we truly never saw coming. Her openness, humor, and honesty continue to be the heart of this show. ✨ In this episode we cover:💍 The engagement nobody expected🚇 How Charlie became the accidental messenger💕 Alex’s year of growth, vulnerability, and plot twists🎃 The Halloween conversation we thought we were going to have😂 And the collective gasp heard around the podcast Thank you for listening, thank you for supporting, and thank you for being here every week through the chaos, comfort, and friendship. 📱 Follow the friends:🎙 Lindsay St. Laurent — @filmakeher🎤 Alexandria Walters — @yoalexandria🎶 Charlie Rojas — Spotify 🎧 Subscribe, rate & review Meet My Friends — it helps more than you know, and it keeps this chaotic little community growing. #MeetMyFriends #PodcastDrama #EngagementPlotTwist #AlexandriaWalters #CharlieRojas #BreakupTea #HotTea #SurpriseEngagement #FriendshipPodcast

This week on Meet My Friends, I’m joined by my friend Nick Estrada to kick off Pride season and spiral into some truly chaotic territory. We’re talking WeHo Pride highlights, drama with exes (his, don’t worry), and why flying is officially canceled — bring back trains. Nick just got back from Miami, where he hit the Versace Mansion (spoiler: tacky, but the cheesy pasta slapped). Meanwhile, I spent the weekend at Cinespia watching Blue Velvet with my sister and… let’s just say it was a lot. David Lynch fans, please don’t come for us. We also get into summer plans, concerts, weird weekend energy, and why some films should never be watched in a cemetery.

This week on Meet My Friends, I took my sister Natalie to the happiest place on earth to celebrate her birthday—and it was iconic. We hit all our favorite rides (yes, even the ones that hurt your back a little), sipped cocktails in New Orleans Square, and got two characters in one photo. That’s right. Goofy and Pluto. Together. Legendary. Natalie dipped her toe into the world of pin trading for the first time... and now we might have a problem. Plus, we get into our constructive (but passionate) notes on the new Haunted Mansion queue. Spoiler: we're protective of our spooky real estate. 🎈 Magic. Mayhem. Mild foot pain.
