September 28, 2025 70. You can't force clarity: choosing powerfully and other contemplations on making good decisions
We are always choosing—either consciously or unconsciously.
In this episode of The Sage & the Song, I share 3 contemplations on decision-making and rumble with the aftermath of our choices. We discuss how you can't force clarity (and what to do in the meantime while you wait for it to arrive), and I offer a potent yet simple framework from learning from past decisions that led you into regret or some other form of suffering.

The songs in this episode are "Busy Yourself" and "Good Choices" by Laurence Cole⁠.

July 21, 2025 66. The *real* plant medicine: 2 major misconceptions around psychedelics and an invitation to make a new friend
"Plant medicine" is usually associated with psychedelics. But that's not the whole picture.
In this episode of The Sage & the Song, I'm offering thoughts and perspective on how to understand and actually work with plant medicine in a practical way—plus the hierarchy with which we categorize plants, and debunking the erroneous belief that psychedelics will heal you.

June 03, 2025 63. Generative Destruction: what Kali Ma can teach us about boundaries and healthy vs unhealthy fear
Let's be honest. Destruction freaks us out. And we often put rage, anger and wrath in the "bad" corner of human emotions.
In this episode of The Sage & the Song, I dive into the teachings of wrathful deities who lead us to examine healthy vs unhealthy fear. Because true states of peace in our minnd, body and heart won't just fall in our lap... we will need to fight for it.
