  • The Art of not giving a Shit

    In this unapologetic episode of Unusual Practice, we dive into the act of not giving a shit.

    What happens when you stop performing for the algorithm, ditch the hustle cult, and finally tell the world, “No thanks, I’m not playing your game”? From ancient cynics to modern misfits, we unpack how nonconformity has always been a threat to power—and why reclaiming your weird might just be the most incredible thing you can do in a culture obsessed with sameness.

     If you’re burned out, over-filtered, or just quietly suffocating under your curated self—this one’s for you.

  • Sex Dolls & Cyber Brothels: The Rise of the Virtual Sex Industry in 2025

    In this provocative episode of Unusual Practice, we crack open the seductive, controversial world of cyber brothels, where AI, VR, and sex dolls collide to rewrite intimacy. From Berlin’s Cybrothel to Prague’s teledildonic and Toronto’s sleek robot companions, we explore how synthetic sex work is exploding across the globe in 2025.

    What happens when fantasy has no limits? When violence, consent, and desire are simulated? We dig into the legal grey zones, psychological fallout, and cultural consequences of AI-driven pleasure. Is this liberation or the commodification of loneliness?

    Expect raw insight, uncomfortable truths, and a deep dive into humanity’s digital libido.

  • The Conspiracy That Connects Every Secret Time Experiment

    What are conspiracy theorists (who sometimes do get it right) talking about today regarding time, timelines and alternate future, and how can we make them make sense?

    When taken on their own, they're questionable...but when I decided to put them together for the sake of keeping an open mind... I realised something else, and I think I'm on to something... suddenly things are somehow starting to make sense from Montauk to Majestic 12.

    They Tried to Hide These Time Experiments — But the Cracks Are Showing

  • We are NOT alike - The Alchemy of Gendered Energy

    What if our differences aren't social constructs, but cosmic design? 

    From anglerfish mating rituals to quantum physics, this episode shatters conventional wisdom about masculine and feminine energy. Discover why civilizations collapse when these forces fall out of balance, and why modern relationships struggle when we deny their power.

    We were never meant to be the same, and that's precisely the point! The most radical act isn't erasing our differences, but actually dancing with them.

  • Can a Robot Fix Your Mental Health?

    Welcome to the future of feelings—where your next therapist might be... an app.

    In this episode of Unusual Practice (UP), we explore the world of AI therapy and mental health chatbots, asking the question: can artificial intelligence really help with real emotional stuff?

    From self-help apps that serve up digital wisdom at 3AM, to chatbots for mental health that claim to understand your anxiety better than your best friend, we unpack the innovations in the future of mental wellness. 

    Spoiler: some of them are actually helpful. Others? Slightly terrifying.

    If you’ve ever trauma-dumped on a chatbot or asked Siri for life advice, this one’s for you.

  • Welcome to Season 2- Up and Up we go!

    Hosted by Charli, a multidisciplinary mind blending the spiritual and the scientific, the seeker and the skeptic, Unusual Practice (UP) unpacks what it means to be human in a world that keeps rewriting the rules. With roots in both Eastern and Western traditions, Charli weaves together philosophy, psychology, science, and soul work, unraveling belief systems, bending binaries, and challenging norms with curiosity, humor, and a touch of rebellion.

    Whether you're into ancient mysticism, modern neuroscience, or the weirdness of everyday life, this space is where ideas collide and perspectives expand. It's not about answers, it’s about the questions that change you.

  • What is happening on April 21, 2025?

    This episode is a love letter to you, to the journey so far, and to the quiet but necessary act of evolution.

    I pull back the curtain on why the podcast name must change, what remains sacred, and how spring—our favorite season—calls for renewal, not reinvention.

    Apparently, Nobody Cares About the Chickens—as much as it makes people laugh—doesn’t exactly scream brand synergy. It doesn’t cluck the corporate clout. Go figure. 33 episodes later!

    Because this show isn’t just about chickens. It’s about curiosity. 

    My dream with this podcast is to get us all to realize that no matter where we come from, what god we pray to, or what language our heart aches in—we all experience the same cracks. We all suffer loss. We all grieve differently but deeply. And we all—whether we admit it or not—are just trying to find a reason to keep going.

    And in the end, amid the noise, the chaos, the scrolling, the headlines, and the heartbreaks—it’s only humanity and its stories that remain. Stories can uplift or destroy. They shape how we see ourselves, how we see each other. And if we’re lucky, they remind us that we’re not as alone as we think.

    This is a reckoning with what matters most: the message, the mirror, and the shared pulse of humanity that beats beneath it all.

    Don’t forget to mark your calendar and share it with your friends. Meanwhile remember nothing grows without feedback, and yours is what makes it all worth it! Let’s keep the conversation rollin'❤️

  • Wait… That’s NOT What That Means?!

    Ever dropped a quote in a conversation, only to find out later that you’ve been confidently spewing nonsense for years? You’re not alone! The game of telephone is real!

    From historical mistranslations to phrases that got a marketing makeover, we break down how words take on a life of their own, twisting into facts we never questioned.

    Get ready to drop some truth bombs at your next dinner party, correct your friends (or lose them), and rethink everything you thought you knew about common wisdom.

    Because if a single misquote can last centuries, just imagine what else we’ve been getting wrong. 🎤🐔
