In this illuminating episode, I sit down with Kevin Kahakula’akea John Fong —an internationally recognized cultural translator, facilitator, and speaker whose work bridges ancient wisdom with modern healing.

We begin by exploring how history can offer perspective on today’s chaos, reflecting on past global crises and the role of queer leaders in shaping a new path forward. We discuss the medicine of being seen, heard, and connected—and the vital role of bridge-makers in an increasingly divisive world.

Kevin introduces us to the Five Elements (Water, Wood, Fire, Earth, and Metal), an ancient East Asian framework for balance and well-being—one he first learned from his grandmother and later applied while directing an AIDS clinic in the Bay Area during the height of the epidemic. Through a personal Five Elements reading, I get a firsthand experience of how this wisdom can guide our daily choices, from setting boundaries to creating environments where we thrive.

We also talk about our relationships with nature, the ways it nurtures and nourishes us, and how our elemental makeup influences our paths. We leave you with an invitation to tap into your queer joy.

In this deeply personal solo episode of Queerly Beloved, I recount my transformative journey of healing my father wound during a Conscious Kink retreat at the Jungle Gayborhood in Costa Rica in late 2024. Amidst the lush jungle, a profound memory emerged during a naked hike, unveiling layers of my father's emotional absence. This revelation led to a powerful role-play ritual, allowing me to reparent myself and mend deep-seated emotional wounds.

Following the retreat, I experienced a series of synchronicities that led me to meet my current partner, illustrating how this healing work opened me to receiving love in new and profound ways. This episode underscores the significance of addressing unhealed wounds and celebrates the transformative power of spiritual and healing practices.

Join me as I explore the depths of personal growth, the magic of conscious kink, and the beauty of recieving love.

In this episode we’re diving deep into the power of authenticity, self-expression, and unapologetically living your truth with someone who’s made it his life’s work to guide others out of their metaphorical closets.

My guest for this episode is Rick Clemmons—a mindset shifter, closet buster, and all-around authenticity guru. Rick is the author of Frankly My Dear, I’m Gay, the host of two incredible podcasts Life (UN)Closeted) and 40 Plus: Gay Men)- which I’ve had the pleasure of guesting on, and a life coach for gay men who are ready to shed excuses, fears, and apologies to step fully into their truth.

In this episode, Rick introduces us to his fabulous inner drag avatar, Limonad Pop, and shares how embodying this alter ego has helped him tap into his authenticity and creativity. He takes us through his journey of coming out at 36, how it reshaped his life, and what it taught him about living unapologetically.

We explore what gets in the way of people’s authenticity, and Rick shares a powerful story that reminds us we’re not responsible for how others see us. Together, we unpack how fear and love factor into the quest for truth and how coming out can be a kind of “training” for queer folks to connect with their deeper selves—a practice that can transform all areas of life.

Rick also shares the framework he uses to help clients take big leaps of faith toward alignment and authenticity—whether it’s coming out, changing careers, or embracing life’s biggest transitions. And, of course, we talk relationships. Rick opens up about navigating an open marriage with his husband and how staying true to themselves has strengthened their bond.

Finally, we close with gratitude for the divine maker that made each of us unapologetically us.

Today we've got Dr. Michael R. Smith who has helped connect individuals with their Divine potential for over 20 years. As a doctoral trained counselor, spiritual medium, and healing practitioner of indigenous ceremony, Michael's great joy is to serve as a spiritual guide for those at all levels of awakening. In addition to his annual northern California redwood and ocean retreat, he offers intuition development classes & The Empath Sanctuary community.

In this episode, we kick things with Michael telling us how claiming the word “weird” as a badge of honor changed his life and how it can be a gift for all of us. 

From there, we explore the joy of surrendering control and letting the universe surprise us. We both vibe out on the approach of embracing the unpredictable and finding playfulness in the process. 

Next, we dive into some deeper waters, talking about Michael’s work with the Lakota tribe and his experiences as a medium. He shares how his connection to spirit guides and loved ones on the other side has transformed his life—and how it can transform yours, too.

One of my favorite parts of the conversation is when we dig into the idea queerness as a gift. Michael gets real about turning off parts of his true self to stay safe in the past and the liberating journey of living authentically. Michael also shares ideas for connecting to our spiritual gifts including the practice of semen retention which inspires me to share my story of a 3 month long semen retention practice and the climax that took place at the end of it.. 

Michael then shares about his Empath Connection community, which helps empaths like him navigate the world with self-love and strong boundaries. And he offers some tips on how you can do that too. 

Before we wrap, Michael shares a beautiful story about how memories can be messages from spirit, and he leaves us with a powerful reminder to connect with nature and the cosmic energy all around us.

So, grab your cosmic lollipop—and settle in for a conversation that will leave you inspired, uplifted, and maybe even a little weird (in the best way possible).

Today’s guest is the incredible Wolf Martinez who identifies a Human Being, as an In-Between person, between male and female and a person with Native and Hispanic roots. Wolf leads retreats and ceremonies across around the world and practices healing arts based in Indigenous and Oriental Medicine, as well as Life Counseling. His desire is to help people become more human, and find their Freedom and Unity with All that Is.  

We begin our conversation with Wolf sharing an awe-inspiring and deeply emotional story—one filled with spirit-led synchronicities—of discovering that they have a daughter. It’s miraculous, heart-touching, and a testament to the spiritual threads that weave through our lives.

We also dive into the power of ancestral work, exploring how healing ourselves can liberate and heal our ancestors. And we reflect on the idea of “ancestors of the future,” inspiring us to live with intention for generations yet to come.

Wolf illuminates the sacred, traditional role of Two Spirits as caretakers of children, language, songs, and stories, reminding us that even if we don’t have biological children, our actions ripple through future generations. We explore the idea of All Our Relations and the importance of honoring our interconnectedness.

From there, we unpack the power of language—how shifting the way we speak about work, challenges, and even ourselves can open doors to liberation and possibility. 

I share some wisdom on celebrating our differences and embracing our uniqueness rather than forcing conformity.

And finally, we close with a grounding meditation and a blessing, wrapping this conversation in love and intention.

 In this special solo episode, I’m diving into my recent reunion with Grandmother Ayahuasca after an 18-month pause since my last journey. This eleventh sit—symbolically aligning with 1/11 and the new moon on Día de los Muertos—came at just the right time, ushered in by signs and synchronicities, and guided by the first female leader of one of the first indigenous tribes to work with Ayahuasca. Sharing it here feels like honoring the sacred nature of my experience while also opening up space to process, integrate, and share any insights with you, my beloveds. 

 I was joined by five other queer men for this ceremony, and the experience itself was both familiar and beautifully new. I began with a hape ritual, which grounded and opened me to Ayahuasca in a way that shifted my usual pattern. This time, the experience was gentler—no need to leave the space, no overwhelming discomfort. Instead, I found myself sitting with ease, receiving downloads with clarity. The purging took new forms: yawns, deep breaths, and laughter, each release bringing its own wave of insight.

 Some of the major takeaways centered on inner authority, sovereignty, and trusting myself more fully. Ayahuasca reminded me to create spaciousness in my life—spaciousness to slow down, limit caffeine, tune in more intentionally to my intuition, and reconsider my relationship with things like social media and Netflix. In a paradoxical yet timely message, I was encouraged to both seize the present moment and move forward without unnecessary haste.

 A second serving brought a more intense wave, confronting me with images of skeletons and snakes, and a primal fear of losing loved ones. This phase saw a deeper, physical purge, followed by a release of laughter and movement—each stage bringing a sense of relief and connection.

 This gentle reunion with Grandmother Ayahuasca was a gift, reminding me to honor life’s rhythms and embrace the power of presence. Join me as I unpack the lessons, magic, and moments of this sacred journey.

In this week’s episode of Queerly Beloved, I sit down with Shadi Terra, a Wild-at-Heart, Kink-positive, Relationship & Sexuality Educator who’s paving new pathways in the world of shamanic kink, conscious relationships, and transformational ritual. Shadi draws from a powerful blend of lived experiences and professional training to support personal and erotic empowerment, relational mastery, and self-awareness for individuals and groups alike.

Shadi’s journey began with a life-changing nomadic adventure, and we start there, exploring how they connected with their calling and met transformational teachers at Lake Atitlan, a place that also holds deep meaning in my own heart. From there, we dive into the world of cacao as Shadi shares insights on this gentle yet profound plant medicine and its role in emotional processing.

Our conversation then heats up as we discuss the power of ritual, especially fire rituals, before diving into the juicy world of conscious kink. Shadi shares how kink and BDSM, when approached with intention, can be healing and transformative, creating safe spaces to explore power dynamics and self-expression. We even explore our own imagined playful scenario to demonstrate the potential alchemy of conscious kink!

We wrap up with a look ahead at Shadi’s upcoming retreat, Conscious Kink at the Jungle Gayborhood, happening this November. This episode is packed with wisdom, warmth, and a bit of playful edge you won’t want to miss!

In this solo podcast episode, I share about my recent travels. Specifically I talk about choosing to visit Scotland to do some ancestor work after learning that I'm 45% Scottish. 
 
 Outside of ancestor work, I reflect on other ways that travel is a powerful and effective approach to personal and spiritual growth. These include seeing yourself reflected in all things and experiences, deepening our awareness of the connection to all, and allowing space for synchronicities. 
 
 I explore the topic of faeries and the use of imagination to access various energies and medicines. 
 
 I share about an encounter with stags and its significance. And talk about a profound experience connecting with my ancestors, and the valor of their hearts, while visiting a Scottish battleground. I end inviting folks to consider exploring travel focused on ancestry work and collect more spirit guides. Enjoy!

Surrendering Into Authenticity with Rocky Heron

 Rocky is an internationally renowned yoga and movement educator, performer, human design mentor and content creator. He is devoted to unlocking the codes to our most authentic self-expression and empowering his students and community to recognize and surrender into their unique brilliance. As an artist and creator, Rocky exists at the intersection of spirituality, eroticism, pleasure, and personal transformation. He is a creature of intimacy and spirit and designed to inspire you to become your own personal authority.

In this juicy interview we talk about surrendering into authenticity and about the factors that help make that possible. Rocky next speaks about what it means to him to be a self-described Holistic Hedonist

 Then, we explore what the journey was like for him to integrate various parts of himself that may have been labeled under the hedonism umbrella- like his Onlyfans, and his porn work. In this exploration we acknowledge that he can be spiritual and a yogi while also engaging in spaces that some may consider ‘hedonistic.’

We also discuss my concerns around perceived energetic risks of casual sex and find ways to address that more honestly. 

Rocky ends explaining what Human Design is and how it can be helpful on the path of self-discovery. And we close talking about my human design and specifically the role folks with 6 in their profile are playing at this time.
