Screwed Up

We welcome author and philosopher Jules Evans to discuss his two must-read Medium pieces on Conspirituality and Nazi Hippies.

Have you ever been trolled online, called a "sheep" or "sheeple," or told to wake up by someone who says they’re all about the "love and light"? And why are there so many spiritual people into conspiracy theories anyway? In Episode 5: Conspiracies and Spiritual Bullies, we try to figure it all out and take an in-depth look at spiritual bullying in online communities.

In part 2, we dig a little deeper in trying to understand why so many people - especially women - choose to identify with a spiritual label that often times doesn't help in reconciling one's heightened sensitivity with other interrelated conditions.

What is the podcast Screwed Up about. Here's a short trailer.

Mimi Bonhomme and Dr. Lana Holmes critique, expose and explain the New Age industry for listeners.

In Part 1 of their special on spirituality and empathy, Dr. Lana Holmes and Mimi Bonhomme ask, “What’s screwed up about the label ‘Empath’?” Is it possible to have empathy for others when we believe our spirituality is solely about maintaining equilibrium, nurturing only happy thoughts or avoiding negativity?

Why does New Age spirituality profess that "All Lives Matter"? Dr. Lana Holmes explains why refusing to acknowledge systematic racism is harmful and opens up about her painful interactions with white spiritual practitioners.

From formal introductions to New Age and white supremacy: we've got the goods!

And yes, we're aware our audio sounds horrible. It's our first episode and we're in two different countries. Be kind. :)
