There are things in our lives that have been there for so long we can't imagine life without them, whether it's a relationship, a job, or even a particular way of doing things. What will life look like without capitalism, for example? What are new ways of interacting with each other?
Sometimes this thing can be what holds you back, what weighs you down or keeps you small. Other times, it can be the thing that asks you to rise to the challenge, to grow and evolve. How do you discern between the two? Or better yet: are we even paying attention to these things in our lives at all?
In this week's episode, the King of Swords offers us insight on this dilemma, inviting us to connect our book knowledge with our spiritual and emotional intelligence. Tune in to hear– in real time how– I come to a decision about the podcast, thanks to this tarot card.

With so many blazing fires in the world and the constant upheaval in our daily lives, it's easy to get overwhelmed by what we think needs to get done. What protest do I go to? Do I sit and meditate to help the collective frequency? Do I do both? How? What if nothing I do actually affects any kind of change?
But the real question is: how can we focus on what feeds and nourishes us? Yes, we must continue to fight for collective liberation. And yes, we have to tend to the daily responsibilities of caring for ourselves and our families, but can we do them in ways that allow us to feel fed by them? Can we reframe washing dishes into a kind of meditation, for example?
When it comes to being a human in the world, are we choosing actions that help to create the life that we envision for ourselves? Or are we doing things out of obligation, things that feel like we *should* do? These are questions I'm asking all of us in this week's episode. Tune in to hear more!

What's your relationship to money? What about all of your possessions? Have you examined the importance you might place on these things? Why is it important? Does it bring up stickiness or discomfort? Can money do good and heal the collective? (And I don't mean this in the literal sense.) How can this kind of inquiry help the fight for lîbérätîon?
While we're at it, I talk about my GoFundMe page, why I'm running a fundraiser for myself, and what kinds of questions that brings up for me and for the collective. If you'd like to support me and the pursuit of my dream to become a novelist, you can donate here:

It's a challenge to find inspiration while living in the center of a crumbling émpîre. It's a challenge to remain hopeful while despair pulls us down as the gën/oside in Pal/est/ine continues. But we must continue to dream and imagine - what does the new liberated world look like? How do we keep hope? The short of it is: we need each other more than ever.

How do you tune into your intuition and allow yourself to be guided by the Divine if you are too tired? How do you stay steady during these upheavals as émpîre crumbles? In this week's episode, the Hierophant comes to reflect the current time and invites us to examine our limiting beliefs. And in this examination, I am calling for true care of ourselves and of each other. What does this look like? And does it help the fight for lîbérätîon? Tune in!

With so much upheaval going on and so many fires to put out, it's easy for us to get wrapped up in despair or hopelessness. It's easy for us to get fixated on our activist work and forget about joy. In this week's episode, I talk about how essential it is for us to be present in the now while also looking and imagining a liberated future. We need the sweetness of our lives in order to remember why we're doing this work at all. Tune in to hear some ways to enjoy our lives now, especially as a mode of resistance in the face of oppression.

I hate to state the obvious, but we live in a divisive time. Everyone is quick to pick a fight or react with sharpness, even harm. Everyone is in hyper-survival mode. So how are we supposed to create communities of care when we're too busy cutting each other down? How can softness help us remember our common humanity?
In this week's episode, I share some insights I learned while laid up in bed for two weeks with the worst case of the flu I'd ever seen, including how we might connect with the simple kindness of a smile. Tune in!

As each day passes and émpïré claws for desperate gasps for life by inflicting more and more harm, it's becoming more and more crucial for us to speak out, to speak truth, to take aligned action. But it can be scary and uncomfortable, activating our sympathetic nervous systems to alert mode. In order for our fight for lîbérätîon to be sustainable, we must listen to our bodies, root down into the Earth, and support ourselves with somatic practices. Tune into this week's episode where I give you some simple practices, which will help ground you and that you can do anywhere.
And if you are looking for even more support in grounding yourself during this time of intense upheaval, sign up for my next 4-week Kundalini Yoga series happening on Wednesdays, 9-10:15am ET. We start April 2nd. $100.

In this week's episode, I'm talking about the importance of sharing our individual gifts and wisdom so that we can co-create a world of liberation. How speaking our truth is crucial to this work. And if we are to build communities of care, we need to remember that communication is a two-way street. It's not just about being clear in what you have to say; it's also about deep listening. When we can consciously collaborate, there is no limit to what we can build. Tune in to hear more!

In this week's episode, I give you tips on how to listen deeply to your heart. I also talk about dreams and your heart’s desires. How they are a compass for you. How your purpose plays a role in the collective imagination during a time of disintegration.

How do you know what you don't know? How can you bring unconscious patterns to the surface if you don't even know they're there? How can you hear yourself amidst all the noise?
Winter is hibernation season. A time when we are meant to get quiet and cozy. But our capitalist society does not allow for that. Between holiday sales and the pressure socialize at Christmas parties, how can we even hear ourselves think?
In this week's episode, I am talking about the kind of darkness that's made for incubation. Winter hibernation. And in that darkness, we can find our true selves and work towards strengthening that light. So that come springtime, we are renewed and strengthened to take on the systems of oppression.
Listen in as I talk about ways in which we can journey into the darkness to connect with our inner selves, to allow space to nourish oneself, and to rest. If we are to sustain our fight for a better world, we need nourishment and rest. Tune in!

So many people want to speak out for social justice and for the liberation of all. So many want to speak their deepest truths. But many don't. Because it can be scary. What's at risk when we speak our truths? What's at stake? Are we willing to contend with the results of our truth telling? Even if that includes losing friends and family? What do those consequences look like?
In this week's episode, I talk about the nuances and complexities of how we can stand in our truth and still honor the very messy existence of being human. Tune in to consider how to navigate these complexities while staying in integrity with your truth.

As we enter a portal into more darkness, we need to remember that change equals growth. And while nobody really talks about this, growth is painful. How can we stay steady and endure the discomfort, knowing that change is inevitable? How can we reframe challenges in order to learn from the pain? To learn that we are not being tested nor are we being punished. We are just being pushed to grow.
Tune into this week's episode to learn how to stay steady in the chaos. How to be like a seed in the earth.
