  • humanizing the "enemy"

    Send us Fan Mail

    If you are into linear, focused, goal-oriented, moving-in-a-specific-trajectory podcast episodes, this is not for you. If you are into thought-provoking-squiggly-non-linear-points-connecting-through-time podcast episodes, this might be an episode for you. This episode is about the "enemy", the "villain", the victim-perpetrator-righteous observer drama triangle and moving outside of moral condemnation and into compassion for all suffering. It is about trauma, how humans who don't process their trauma will blow that trauma through other people, historical trauma (specifically around race), and a whole lot more. It's about this big, cosmic theatre that we are a part of where we get to play out many, many roles, and how deeply entangled we are with the mess that (sometimes) we would desperately like to separate ourselves from.

    As a personal note, I really considered not releasing this episode - but upon hearing it with fresh ears, I think it might have some value to offer you (you be the judge). Speaking about these topics brings up all my fears and shame around being 'bad', canceled, labeled a victim-blamer, not-woke-enough, not-left-enough, too woo, spiritual bypassy, etc etc. But, this is my truth - and whether it resonates with you or not, I hope that it will bring clarity to yours.

    The Ted talks that were mentioned:
    I Was Almost A School Shooter.
    My descent into America's neo-nazi movement and how I got out.
    Meeting the enemy: A feminist comes to terms with the Men's Rights movement.

  • shame, desire, and the witch's arsenal

    Send us Fan Mail

    In this week's episode, I am totally loved up with a total of 0 brain cells operating - but I'd like to share a little bit of what I've been thinking about lately around shame and desire (my favorite subjects, yay!). At the end, I'll share some down-to-earth magic for working through shame so that you can know what you want (aka, God's will for you) and surrender to your destiny.

  • welcome to the new (new) human becoming

    Send us Fan Mail

    Hello, my dear human becoming. Long time no speak! I'm excited to be back (after taking a break for mercury retrograde and eclipse season) to share more wonderful, triggering, challenging thoughts about what it means to become human at this time. In this week's episode, I dive into where I have been, what I've been up to, how I've been growing - and I share the direction that the podcast will be taking moving forward. I speak about magic, and how we move from being unconscious magicians (who create realities we say we 'don't like') to conscious magicians who create the realities we are dreaming of and want to inhabit. Have I piqued your interest? I hope so. This is a juicy episode, and you will not come out of it the same way that you entered.

  • love is disappointing

    Love is disappointing. Life is disappointing. I am disappointing. This episode is an ode to disappointment - something many of us feel (and are ashamed to feel! cue "shouldn't we be happy and grateful all the time?"). This episode will support you in getting reaaaaaal comfortable with your own, disappointing nature - and how disappointing other people is actually a GOOD thing.

  • I love my pussy, yes I do! I love my pussy, how about you?

    Send us Fan Mail

    This is an episode for everyone with a pussy. Yes, everyone. Listen to this episode. Send it to your loved ones with pussies. If you were born with a pussy in this society, you are living under the collective curse of pussy disconnection and dishonoring. For centuries, pussies have been met with violence, disgust, fear, and ignorance (hello, western science only learned the full anatomy of the clitoris in 2005! TWO THOUSAND AND FIVE!). We are entering an age of pussy reconnection; an age in which pussies will be honored and met with reverence, celebration, and acceptance. Join me in calling in that age, and creating a new story between you and your pussy.

In this week's podcast episode, we talk about magical oppression, erotic empowerment, how we are all potters with our hands, and how, with our potters' hands, we have the ability to shape our reality. We talk about pussy consciousness and the wisdom that our pussies hold, as I embark on a 22-day devotional practice to become a portal for pussy consciousness to enter the world. Curious? Come explore with me!

  • the love we accept

    This episode is a fun one. We speak about magic, manifestation, and (surprise!) love. We delve into the importance of shadow work and how you might unconsciously be reaaaally enjoying situations that your conscious mind hates (like abandonment, rejection, unrequited love). I let you into a little secret: that we all have a havingness level (how much of the 'good' shit we'll let into our lives) and that yours might be surprisingly low. Curious about how that might impact the quality of your relationships? Tune in!

  • meeting love

    Send us Fan Mail

    This week’s episode is also a big call to presence. We begin by dropping into our bodies and asking “can I be present with all of the sensations, emotions, and thoughts that will be created inside of me as I listen to this podcast episode?”. This is your invitation to arrive at this weekly healing session in a state of presence and bodyfulness, ready to listen to the feedback that your body will offer you as you are delighted, tickled, triggered, angered, confused, frustrated, enamored (and and and) by this human becoming transmission.

    In this week’s episode, we meet Love. We speak about repair, and how conflict can become an opportunity to come back together in ways that create more closeness. And, in the vein of repair, I have a repair conversation with Love. I bemoan and grieve my relationship with Love - and speak directly to Love about my many grievances, my frustrations, my anger, my sadness. I speak about how I have felt betrayed and abandoned by Love, how cruel I have felt Love is for meeting me when it would not stay. I reveal my wounds at Love’s gates and Love reveals some wisdom about them (and about itself) in turn. Join me as we dive into this conversation with Love, and meet Love in the fullness of its expression - including Love as the destroyer and the often unspoken about darker and kinkier aspects of this cosmic force.

    Moving forward, I set the intention that we meet Love in forgiveness, for all of the woundings we have experienced in its dance, so that we can continue dancing into right relationship with Love.

  • love in times of war

    Send us Fan Mail

    We live in a time where so many humans are making choices out of fear. Fear, in many ways, is the antithesis to Love. In the presence of fear, and the separation and disconnection that it creates, Love does not find fertile grounds to plant its seeds. As we watch the unfolding conflict between Russia and Ukraine, this week's episode is an exploration of what it means to find and choose Love in times of war. I explore the deep Lovelessness that makes war and violence possible, and I propose that this time is an invitation into a deeper examination of our own shadows and the places inside of us that we would rather not see.
    When we witness violence in the world, we are often tempted to step into our moral superiority. To say "I would never choose violence in this way. I'm not like that". In this episode, I share my own shadows with you; the previously unconscious parts of my being that desire violence, control, and domination over others. I invite you into a reflection on the shadows of our collective, and offer the perspective that until we reckon with these shadowy aspects of our human experience we will continue to see them play out on a global (and local) stage.
    This week's episode is an invitation to look into where our collective unconscious is becoming manifest in the world and to become aware of these dark, shadowy, unconscious aspects of ourselves so that we may begin the work of alchemizing them and making way for new paradigms and ways of being to emerge.

  • the work of love

    Send us Fan Mail

    This is the first episode of the third season of Human Becoming. Hoorah! In this episode, I introduce you to some of the themes we'll be moving through in the course of the season. What is the work of Love? How do we walk the path of Love? What even is Love, outside of the romantic, Hollywood notions we've been fed about it? How do we choose Love, in a world that is so fixated on choosing fear? Throughout this episode, I speak about my own experiences of meeting Love. I speak about experiencing Love in relationships, and how that meets my attachment strategy and abandonment trauma. I speak about Love in social justice movements, and how choosing Love is so much deeper than a hippy-dippy notion to prevent us from rocking the boat and stirring the waters. I position Love as revolutionary and Love as a world-changing force. Join me in Love for the world-changing journey we are about to embark on, together.
