Every year, more American adults say they believe in reincarnation, a concept that has existed throughout human history and across the globe. But, for a philosophy so famous, not much is known about the inner workings of past lives. How can we connect with our past lives? How do prior life experiences show up in our current lives? And the question on everyone’s minds: is reincarnation something we can prove? This week, an optimistic Mory and an undecided Melissa trade personal stories, thrilling case studies, and a sprinkling of scientific research to show that the debate on reincarnation is far from settled. Mory recounts how her meeting with esteemed Past Life Psychic Ainslie MacLeod helped her make sense of guilt (and also proved her eternal love for Paris). Melissa narrates the real-life story of James Leininger, a toddler who recounted the plane crash of an American pilot with inexplicable accuracy. If you’re convinced, curious, or even skeptical about the possibility of a karmic world, there’s no better place to be.

Some experts believe that there might be close to 10,000 cults in the United States alone. What draws so many people into cults? How exactly do they work? And most importantly - what counts as a cult!? Melissa and Mory trade stories on some of the big names in cult history, including Charles Manson and Jim Jones, who offer a glimpse into the collective delusions and infamous crimes that have excited popular imagination. But, there’s something about cults that’s almost universal. Can we really blame cult members for craving a sense of belonging, especially when the world outside is sometimes unbearable to live in? And, wouldn’t it be fair to say that our political systems and religious institutions thrive off of dominating those who are disconnected from their intuitive wisdom, much like cults themselves? In this week’s episode, we hear about how (not) to become a toxic cult leader, why tootsie rolls are actually to die for, and Melissa’s growing - but misguided - suspicion that Mory might be trying to start a cult of her own.

This week, Mory and Melissa sit down with renowned psychological astrologer, social-emotional healer, and best-selling author Dr. Jennifer Freed for a discussion on all things astrology: how does one read a chart? What effect does it have on our lives? And how can we empower ourselves with this cosmic knowledge? Jennifer explores her own relationship with spirituality, comments on the rise of astrology in recent times, and dives deep into the effect of Saturn’s return on each of our lives. Mory recounts the identity crisis she faced when she learned that she is, in fact, a Virgo and not a Leo; Jennifer guides Melissa onto a path of self-discovery that starts with 20-minute yoga sessions. Tune in to discover more about the connection between planets and purpose!
