  • Ep 299 - Balancing the material and the spiritual

    Ep 299 - Balancing the material and the spiritual
    Dec 4 2025

    In this week's episode, I’m talking about the challenges of balancing the material with the spiritual in this overwhelming world. How can we remain true to our spiritual practices while the external world inundates us with so much noise that we lose track? How can we hear what our ancestors are trying to tell us if we don't sit still for one goddamn minute? Tune in to remember why we’re here and what we’re meant to do, how to navigate the material world while staying rooted in our spiritual purpose.

    Ep 298 - Letting go and tuning into your life's calling
    Nov 20 2025

    This week, the new moon in Scorpio is asking us to release the things that are holding us back, to let go of the old so that the new can be planted in fertile soil. In this week's episode, I'm asking: how do we know what is weighing us down? How do we know what we are supposed to release? And then: how do we step into our life's purpose? Do we even know what our life's calling is? Does it matter? Why does it matter? Tune in to find out!
