Pavane – Time Variation1 hr 3 min - This Is My Take So Far | Season 5 | Episode 41
After a lengthy ramble to bring y’all up to speed on my life in general (chaos, coworking, and derailed plans), we get into my current fixation: pendulums. Reality Transurfing. Energy parasites. Chakra shadows. Frequency traps. Detachment as a hack. More Sleeping Phoenix era intel. Sovereign energy. Same shit, different point on the spiral.

Pavane – Time Variation1 hr 22 min - It's Been 84 Years | Season 5 | Episode 40
Welcome to season 5, where we kick off with an episode in three parts: the unraveling, the reckoning, and the emergence. Performative conditioning. Grief. Sound baths and city council skullduggery. Authenticity and letting my Aries Mercury flag burn in the town square. Revolution to resolution. Let’s get into it.
*Note: I play fast and loose with using Mercury in Aries and Aries in Mercury interchangeably in this episode. I know that’s not right, but it stays.

Pavane – Time Variation31 min - Swirling Around in the Bardo | Season 4 | Episode 39
It’s been a while, and hopefully you haven’t been waiting for some powerhouse performance to mark my return, because I present to you an hour of existential angst and 8-point tangents. Here’s hoping I say a single thing that makes this worth your while, and that whatever is making me feel like I’m swimming in Jell-O…is on its way out. *fingers crossed*

Pavane – Time Variation57 min - The End Credits Are Rolling | Season 4 | Episode 38
What if the real power move isn’t fighting the system but ignoring it into oblivion? Spoiler alert: it dies without the energy we give it. More hot takes on why protesting is overrated, why both political parties are flaming dumpster fires, and how divesting your attention is the ultimate rebellion. We’re talking personal sovereignty, the illusion of control, and how to stop funding systems that don’t serve you. Plus, why your higher self might just be watching you like a cosmic reality show (and rooting for you, obviously). TL;DR: Stop feeding the Matrix. Start feeding your soul. Let’s co-create the new game. You in?

Pavane – Time Variation52 min - What They Gon' Do? | Season 4 | Episode 37
Welcome to the episode that might land me on some lame watchlist if I’m not there already! Let’s talk about systems breaking down, systemic operational failures of governmental institutions, the TikTok ban (this was recorded before the platform went down and came back up fully under oligarchical control), quietly quitting as a means of revolution, disengaging from top-heavy structures (there’s even a shoutout to Cap One and this was recorded PRIOR to their recent very public f*ck up), and oligarchy (again—recorded before Biden’s hot take that—surprise! is a day late and a dollar short).

Pavane – Time Variation51 min - Palm Reading in Jackson Square: 2025 Predictions with Angela Willhoft | Season 4 | Episode 36
Buckle up, friends—this one’s a long ride, but we’re covering some solid territory. Think 2025 themes like boundaries (yes, again), censorship taking a hike, innovation, spiritual glow-ups, and finally having the ability to step into flow without face-planting. We’re also diving into the professional use of intuition—what it looks like and why it matters.
Spoiler alert: this year, inner vision and discernment are non-negotiable.

Pavane – Time Variation1 hr 57 min - Caroling & Brain Fog | Season 4 | Episode 35
Here’s a side quest of a ramble through limbo as a cocoon, the consequences of crimes against wisdom, a mystery gift, the pitfalls that can dampen discernment, and purge energy. I felt practically disembodied recording this one, so maybe not my best work.

Pavane – Time Variation45 min - Disclaimer: I am not an astrologer. | Season 4 | Episode 34
Despite having a rudimentary (at best) understanding of astrology, in this episode I talk about Pluto in Aquarius and the themes we can expect to focus on as a collective for the next couple decades or so. Shout out to my research assistants Cafe Astrology and Chat GPT.

Pavane – Time Variation26 min - Unpacking the Whole Summer (Thing) | Season 3 | Episode 33
This tea-spilling episode is a curated (read: we're not getting messy) unpacking of what happened between my former podcast co-host Summer and me from my perspective. Having spent several months looking at it through multiple lenses, I finally feel ready to share about what went down and my takeaways from the experience. So get yourself a matcha and settle in!

About The Dharma Diaries
From the publisher's feed
The Dharma Diaries is where I talk through whatever I’m currently trying to understand—about myself, the world, belief systems, conditioning, astrology, culture, and the general weirdness of…
being alive right now.
There’s no format, no ads, and no agenda. Some episodes are reflections, some are talking through life shifts, some are me circling questions I don’t have answers to yet. I’m not teaching anything or trying to lead anyone anywhere—I’m just thinking out loud and saying what feels true in the moment.
If honest, wandering conversations about consciousness that don’t wrap things up neatly and aren’t afraid to sit in uncertainty are your jam, you’ll probably feel at home here.
