In this tea-spilling episode, we dive deep into the heart of the Divine Feminine—where love is fierce, protection is fierce and tender, and God shows up not in thrones or robes, but in the grit, grace, and wild wisdom of the Mother. From the comforting embrace of Mary to the fearless roar of Kali, we’re exploring how She shows up in the world, and how She’s been with us all along—whispering, protecting, and loving us back to life. Buckle up, because this Mother doesn’t play by the rules, and She’s got a lot to say.

Join us as we buzz through the mystical world of bees, poems, and God with poet and beekeeper Chris Isa Muscat. We’ll explore how the pursuit of knowing the heart of God is as sweet—and sometimes as wild—as honey itself! Get ready for an inspiring chat filled with divine wisdom, stories of the Beloved, and a whole lot of love.
