    Parenting.

    Developing Sense of Self.

  • The Earnest Eradicator of Disembodied Souls

    The penultimate interview!

    And this one is especially for the boys.

    How many of us struggle in our relationships with men? How often are we witnessing them abusing their bodies and others? These days men are getting a bad rap, and often are the cause of suffering for so many others, especially women.

    Dom believes it all comes down to this. Our culture produces and encourages disembodied men. What are we supposed to do about this?

    We talk about:

    Male Disembodiment.

    Self-Awareness Subtraction.

    The Familial Roots of Disassociation.

    And much more!

  • The Foundational Ecstatic Dancer of Buffalonia

    Nobody dances ecstatically like our guest today. I call her Mary B, with the B standing for Bombastic.

    She’s very passionate about facilitating safe spaces for fellow body movers and shakers. It’s a practice that requires none other than yourself and comfortable clothes to move in.

    And Ecstatic dancing is our point of origin!

    We talk about:

    Ecstatic Dancing, of course.

    Activating Autonomy.

    Balancing Community.

    Our love of Buffalo.

    And much more!

  • The Doubly Spirited Ceremonialist of Intentional Living

    I ain’t done yet…!

    Today’s interview features Joey Sundown III, a fellow self-transformation enthusiast.

    “Life is a ceremony. Walk every step with intention”.

    This is my biggest take away from this conversation. Gently ringing in my dome like chimes lifted by a calm breeze, I feel buoyed by a persistent reminder of how life is truly what we make of it.

    We talk about:

    Growing up Indigenous and queer.

    Their brush with musical stardom.

    The catalyst that transmuted them to an ultimate gem.

    And much, much more!
