This week, we end season seven of Off the Grid with an honest conversation about self-employment amidst polycrisis.

I’m joined by the inimitable Shivani Mehta Bhatia — who returns to the show to help us weave our experiences of grief, witnessing, conflict, rest, deep sorrow, and profound joy.

It’s been a long year, and we quite literally laugh and cry as we reflect on how 2025 has clarified our commitments — including how we’ve (imperfectly) kept working through it all.

Tune in, then if you want to process together: join me for a free end-of-year journalling session on December 9th. We'll gather, look back at 2025, and do our best to hold it all collectively. 🫂

Today we visit the Off the Grid archives and Podge Thomas returns for a reflective conversation about why being self-employed invites (and requires) decolonizing how we learn, how we communicate, how we operate, and how we relate to others.
 

Podge has recently created a FREE email course on Metacognitive Learning Design. I want you to get the course, check out her Decolonized Learning Glossary, and then tune in to the episode.

 
Together we explore:

• The coercive effects of traditional education ⛓️‍💥
• Why Amelia did School like Ken did Beach 🏖️
• How to de-condition & decolonize our businesses 🧲
• The importance of situating self-knowledge amidst community values 🎗️
• Why Notion is a liberatory tool 👾
• Task management for non-linear thinkers 😵‍💫
• & so much more!

If you’re tired of being tired, this episode is for you.
 

Today I’m joined by Jordan Maney, the Radical Joy Coach™ and creator of the RestLab. Through her facilitation and coaching, she helps people who give a damn (including you, dear listener!) learn the radical practice of rest.
 

In this conversation, we get into:

• Why we can’t talk about rest without talking about work
• The self-fulfilling prophesy of “invisible labor”
• How to rest when you really love what you do
• Why creative work requires creative rest
• Rest equity as a guiding principle
• Rejecting “calm supremacy”
• Why a sabbatical probably isn’t the antidote for burnout…

 
Tune in then, join Jordan in RestLab 101 for support slowing down and sustaining your creative work, your community advocacy, and your rest.

Listen to this episode before you begin holiday shopping or selling!

Today I’m sharing a conversation I had with Rachel Duncan for the Money Healing Club Podcast where we go deeeeeep into how social media impacts our spending habits and finances.

We talk about budgets, boundaries, and screentime. Then we explore why restriction isn’t necessarily the answer to addiction — and why rebellion and pleasure may be better antidotes for feeling too online.

We also explore the core concepts of my book, including: what’s wrong with the attention economy, the negative impacts of extractive algorithms, and my 5 principles for gardening your attention.

Let’s get into it with phone addiction and doomscrolling. 😵‍💫

 
In this episode, I’ll teach you two practices for raising your awareness around how you use your phone.
 

Then I’ll offer two interventions for interrupting feel-bad habits and learning to scroll more mindfully.

 
As our theme song says… I know that you really want to put your phone away (hey!).

 
So let’s do that together today!

Happy Halloween/Samhein week, friends 🌙

Today, I’m joined by one of my favorite witches, Casey Zabala of Modern Witches and Wanderers Tarot.

Casey and I have a rich conversation tracing her spiritual path and how it became her career. We explore community, magic, and the power of self-publishing, as well as why Casey left social media earlier this year.

We also get into the nitty gritty details of bringing both a tarot deck and a community anthology to life — exploring the highs and lows of collaborative creativity and manifestation.

Today we embrace the Dark Moon and step into our businesses to remember: “alignment is a dance.”

To do that, I welcome grace allerdice back to the podcast for the fifth time. She’s a priestess, a podcaster, and one of my personal friends and guides.

In this episode, she shares how her self-employment journey has also been a spiritual initiation and the many ways deep alignment has guided her into the portal of Now. We also explore our solar/lunar marketing styles and offer an example of what close biz friendship really sounds like.

Tune in for an inner tune-up. Then RSVP for grace’s event, and purchase a book bundle to join us both at the Off the Grid Retreat on November 5th.

In this bonus episode, I'm sharing the new vision for Off the Grid! And inviting you to co-create it with me at our upcoming retreat.
