      • 4. Signs, Synchronicities, and Sex with AI

        Are you fun at parties or does every conversation turn into, “are we even real?!” And while we might be bias, Kristin and Daisy are a fun combination of both. 


        While they intended to discuss productivity - the topics of synchronicity, signs, and AI took over. Daisy and Kristin discuss the concept of managing your own energy, asking for signs, all before exploring the “uncanny valley” and consciousness as we enter the era of AI. Need something to talk about next time you hang with friends? Give this one a listen and share.

            • 3. On Religion: God Pouring God Into God

              What if we’re just, “God pouring God into God”?

              Thanks for that Rumi. Daisy and Kristin take a deep dive into their personal experiences with religion and how that has evolved into a deep appreciation for spirituality. They discuss their relationship with each, explaining how to them, spirituality is a personal set of tools to help one reconnect to themselves, while religion can sometimes cause you to lose that sense of self.

              One thing that really resonates with both Daisy and Kristin is the importance of nature and the cycles of the natural world. They discuss how their spirituality is intertwined with their reverence for the earth, and how science reinforces their beliefs. 

              Ultimately, the episode leaves us with a powerful message: maybe we're all just a part of something bigger, and our journey through life is simply God getting to know itself. If you're someone who's curious about the deeper meaning behind our existence, or if you're simply looking for some guidance in your own spiritual journey, this episode is a must.

              • - !! Fact Check !! -

                We want to fact check ourselves and make sure we're sharing accurate information. In our latest episode, Kristin mistakenly blurred the lines between Buddhism and Hinduism. We want to clarify that they are two distinct religions. Buddhism doesn't have any one God, and the deities mentioned around the 45-minute mark, such as Ram, Sita, and Hanuman, are associated with Hinduism. We're all learning together, and Kristin is navigating a lot of new information, which can be challenging to express accurately. We hope these conversations inspire you to keep learning and growing too!

              • 2. Hinge Should Sponsor Us

                It’s 2023. So by now, you may have experienced the weird world of dating apps. We sure have. On this episode of "The Seed," Daisy and Kristin share their personal experiences, “red flags,” and the really fucking odd encounters they’ve had while swiping through potential partners. 

                Daisy offers a refreshing perspective on how she uses her time on Hinge for dating, but also as a means of inspiration and manifestation. The hosts dive into the power of co-creating with the universe and share what they are learning from Lacey Phillips and "To Be Magnetic." Listen along as they discuss the concept of expansion, or going beyond what the mind thinks is possible, in order to manifest their desired outcomes.

                As they continue the conversation, Kristin also mentions how word witch Nehgar Fonooni and her Moon Musings have inspired her over the last year. Throughout the episode, Daisy and Kristin stress the importance of authenticity and how to stay positive because after all, what you desire desires you back.
