For over twenty years, best friends Helen George and Yvette Robinson have turned to the mystic to find calm in life's chaos. Now, they're inviting listeners into those conversations live at Mind Body Spirit Festival with their Mystic Mates Podcast.
Helen and Yvette first met in 2004 while starring in The Woman in White at London's famously haunted Palace Theatre. During intervals, they'd head backstage to cast runes together. As they bonded over their love of the mystic, they forged one of the most important friendships of their lives.
More than two decades later, TV and stage actor Helen is now best known as Trixie Franklin in the much-loved BBC drama Call the Midwife, while Yvette has built a successful West End career and founded Lights Up! Performing Arts school. Life has thrown them incredible highs and devastating lows. And it's everything from tarot cards, crystals and astrology that has helped them navigate it all.
Mystic Mates is a space for funny, honest and deeply personal conversations between Helen, Yvette and their listeners. Together, they'll explore everything from relationships, motherhood and grief to intuition and spirituality. A gang of Mystic Mates, this is a community where curiosity is always welcome.Fascination with the mystic has never been more mainstream. As Helen puts it, "mention tarot and everyone suddenly has a story." Whether people believe or not, they're curious. They want to share their own experiences, hear someone else's and linger on the unexplainable.Whether you're a lifelong believer, simply curious or somewhere in between, Mystic Mates is a welcoming space that doesn't take itself too seriously.
Mystic Mates is available now with new episodes every Monday on Spotify and all major podcast platforms.
