  • #42- Reclaiming Roots & Rewriting Recovery. Creating the Life That Heals Us with Owen Unruh

    In this episode, I’m joined by Owen Unruh (He/Him/They/Them), a Two-Spirit Indigiqueer artist, model, & content creator who’s been openly sharing their addiction recovery journey online with such rawness, humor, & so much heart.

    We talk about reclaiming lineage after disconnection, what it actually means to rebuild your life, & how joy, creativity, & artistic expression can be powerful forms of medicine. We get into identity as something layered & multidimensional, the gaps in healing & recovery spaces for Black, Brown, Indigenous, & queer folks, & why so many of us end up creating the spaces we needed but couldn’t find.

    This was one of those conversations that moved gently between laughter & deep healing. Light, fun, & real, with space for the heavy stuff. If you’re in recovery, wanting to understand recovery & addiction, are reconnecting with your roots, or just curious about what healing can look like beyond society's expectations, dive in with us!

  • #41- Can Ghosts Get Stuck? Do They Need Our Help Crossing Over?

    Let’s talk about one of the biggest spooky myths out there: the idea that spirits get trapped here & need us to rescue them.

    In this episode, I share my honest perspective as a psychic medium, what I actually experience in sessions, why “stuck spirits” don’t really line up with it, & what I think is really happening when people feel like their loved ones haven’t moved on.

    I touch on how grief can shape our spiritual beliefs, & why most spirits feel way more light, aware, & at peace than you’d might think.

    There is No fear-mongering. Just a real conversation about death, connection, & what “crossing over” probably looks like from the other side.

    Grab a coffee, get comfy, & let’s get into it.

  • #40- Faith, Freedom & Finding Our Way Forward With Reverend Gerlyn Henry

    This episode is a really special one. I sat down with the amazing Reverend Gerlyn Henry, for a conversation that felt more like two friends opening their hearts than an “interview.” 

    We didn’t shy away from the hard stuff. We talked about fascism, systems of control, the terror of ICE, & the ways religion is often used in American politics to manipulate & control. We talk about facing criticism & “haters"

    She also shared about her experience on her recent pilgrimage to Palestine & what it meant to be apart of & witness so much resilience, courage, & humanity in the middle of an ongoing genocide. 

    More than anything, this was a heart-centered, honest, & grounding conversation about staying connected to spirit when everything feels chaotic. About choosing compassion over fear. About remembering that we’re not alone in this.

    So grateful to share this conversation with you. I hope it meets you right where you are.

  • #39- If Things Feel Like They're Falling Apart...

    We're living in a moment where everything feels like it's coming apart, all at once. Globally, politically, spiritually...

    In this episode I wanted to share some insights on hope. But not in this bypassy, naïve way. More as presence, discernment & responsibility. I wanted to talk about breakdown, rupture & that uncomfortable place between collapse & creation. This is an invitiation to maybe listen closely to what this moment is asking of us. A conversation about staying awake, staying human, & some inspiration to stand in uncertainty without collapsing into despair or denial. 

    Breakdowns can carry the seeds of something more honest. And this is just an honest holding of the moment we're in.

  • #38- Spiritual Tools - Breaking The Spell of Fascism

    This is a heart to heart. Really, like all episodes. But this one is pretty raw. 

    I talk about what it is feeling like to live in the world right now. The grief, the anger, the heartbreak & deep exhaustion that comes with witnessing genocide, war, state violence & the terror inflicted by systems like ICE on families & communities. 

    You are not alone if you nervous system feels fried, if you are swinging between rage & numbness, if you are wondering how to stay human without totally crashing & burning out.

    I’m talking about nervous system care as resistance, why anger isn’t the enemy, what grief needs, & how spiritual skills like intuition, and ancestral wisdom are survival tools, not escapism. This is a reminder that care is not disengagement, rest is not betrayal, you are not broken for feeling deeply, & connection to spirit is key. 

    Take what you vibe with, leave what you don’t.

  • #37- 3I ATLAS What Are We Really Witnessing?

    In this episode, I’m talking about 3I Atlas, an interstellar object passing through our solar system that didn’t form here & won’t stay. It’s just moving through, on its own mysterious trajectory, & something about that feels super meaningful,beyond the science.

    This isn’t a technical breakdown or a fear-based take. It’s more a reflective, open conversation about what it feels like when something unfamiliar enters our shared space, energetically, emotionally, & spiritually. 

    I also explore the bigger questions this kind of event can stir up, consciousness, connection, humility, & the idea that the universe may be far more alive & interconnected than we’re often taught to believe. 

    Just space to wonder.

  • #36- Life Purpose: You're Not Lost...Just Becoming

    Let's dive into the messy, tender, very human side of “life purpose."

    I talk about what it means to feel lost or untethered, especially in a world full of injustice, & colonial systems that pull us away from ourselves.

    This conversation holds space for the seasons of life when nothing makes sense, where the world’s pain feels too heavy, & where you start to question what the point of any of this even is. 

    If you’ve ever felt behind, confused, numb, overwhelmed, discouraged by the world, or pressured to “figure it all out,” this episode offers a softer way forward, one where purpose doesn’t demand clarity, perfection, or big gestures… just honesty, presence, & the courage to take your next true step. 

    Let’s breathe, reflect, & redefine what it really means to live a meaningful life.

  • #35- The Nervous System’s Role in Spiritual Work

  • #34- Spirit's Timing VS Our Urgency

    This episode is a short & timely reminder about trusting the way Spirit delivers guidance. We don’t & shouldn't rush Spirit, or our own life's unfolding. Even in those seasons where we feel lost or off-track, leaning into the mystery with grace & faith can become a powerful act of devotion. 

    Consider this your invitation to soften into timing & pay attention to the subtle, beautiful ways Spirit is already speaking to you.

  • #33- Reclaiming the Lion’s Gate: 8/8 Magic & Ancestral Wisdom

    It’s that magical time again, the Lion’s Gate Portal is here! While the stars aren’t literally “lining up” on 8/8, this date has become a symbolic & spiritual marker. 

    In this episode, I’m diving into a decolonial approach to this powerful moment in the cosmic cycle, one that honors the wisdom of our ancestors, especially those of Ancient Kemet (Africa), who understood celestial rhythms far beyond the colonial calendar.

    This portal is less about wish lists & more about realignment, with our higher selves, with our lineage, & with the collective future we’re co-creating.

    In this episode I unpack:

    - What the 8/8 Lion’s Gate Portal really represents (beyond the hype)

    - How to work with this energy for collective healing + ancestral connection

    - Practices for manifesting from a place of soul truth

    - Activating your spiritual gifts & deeper purpose

    This one’s for the mystics, the healers, the seekers, and the soul-led rebels.
