The sentiment "everybody wants a village but no one is willing to be a better villager" is going around the internet right now (if you know the OG source, lmk. Right now, it's lost in the internet sauce for me). I'm talking community organizing, beyond friendships. If you have great friends, that's amazing. But we should all be focused on cultivating a wider sense of community and care right now. So, how do we actually do that?

Men gain sacredness and transcendence through a loss of ego and self. Women gain sacredness and transcendence when they claim themselves and gain an ego.

Sometimes the thing you desire is actually an obstacle to your flourishing (watch the full episode on youtube).

Reaching for convenience is understanding and often necessary. It often satiates our desire for answers and quick solutions. But it's becoming an obstacle to all of our flourishing.

Today, we have to talk about how an addiction to convenience is killing our creative impulses. The algorithm is constantly serving up answers and interests on a silver platter. It's convenient. And it's eroding our ability to exercise autonomy, surprise ourselves, and live in the tension of creation.

Tune in for a little exercise I'm going to be doing in the coming days to combat this issue. And join me if you feel so inclined!

"create more than you consume." Okay...but HOW!? We're all addicted to scrolling already. How do we stop the cycle for long enough to actually create something?

Well, we start taking notes. This episode is all about following your string of curiosity and getting serious about your interests. We've all heard the phrase "in order to be interesting, you need to be interested."

So let's tap into the power of our own interests with a newfound intentionality. Never heard of digital gardening? Don't worry. Think of today's episode as a digital gardening crash course.

In today's episode, we're chatting about:

• How to be a more interesting person
• Why would taking notes help you be more creative?
• What is a digital garden?
• How do you create a digital garden?

Resources Mentioned:

• Oddyseas' note taking tutorial
• Ayan Artan's "In Defense of Pretension"

There is no time like the present to re-evaluate your relationship with men.

The cost of centering men in your life:

And so, so much more...

So what are we going to do about it?

Some people are all about divesting from men completely. I don't think that's the answer for me.

So today, we're talking about decentering men WHILE dating them. This episode will still be relevant if you're actively in a relationship with men or never wanted a relationship with men in the first place.

We're all living in a patriarchal society - one that seems to be absolutely imploding and targeting women during it's downfall right now...

Today, I'm sitting down for a completely off the cuff conversation with my mom❤️‍🔥 If you've never met my mom, you'll definitely be obsessed with her by the end of this conversation.

After literally 3 days of trying to upload the video to Spotify with nothing but "failure to load" messages, I'm opting for audio only for this episode. Womp womp. Please go check out the Youtube video if you want to see all of the family photos and memes I've included love bugs.

CONTENT WARNING: Please take care of yourself, this episode does contain a short discussion about mental illness and suicide. If these topics are potentially triggering, consider switching to a different episode!

You can't be yourself until you know yourself and you can't know yourself if you're constantly abandoning yourself in pursuit of other people. You can watch the full episode video on Spotify and ⁠Youtube⁠ (the memes really add to the experience if I do say so myself)!

That's the heart of today's episode wrapped up in a sentence. Going into 2025, I hope we can all find the space to be a bit selfish.

I've been thinking a lot about how I can toggle back and forth between fixer mode and victim mode. In 2025, I want to take a playful approach to being my own parent, ritualizing everything I do so that it's more fun and more beautiful to me, and getting to know myself intentionally.

It doesn't have to all be intense goal setting in the New Year. It can be a process of slowmaxxing into the version of you that knows what you need and stops asking permission. We're talking about self-expression, self-exploration and devotion to the self today.

"I don't know why we feel the need to look for things that aren't here instead of just looking more deeply at what already is here." Today's guest, Eliza Day sums it all up in that one sentence.

Eliza is an artist, speaker, and intuitive guide who is sharing so many nuggets of wisdom that ground spirituality and releases dogma.

We've all had incredibly vivid dreams where we stumble out of bed and immediately try to recall everything we can. But what do we do with the bits and pieces we remember? Most of us stop at retelling the juiciest bits to our friends. But what if our dreams were the key to understanding ourselves on the deepest level?

Today, I'm chatting with Jared Ray Gilmore, a Jungian depth coach, audio engineer and composer. He blew my mind with this conversation. We're digging into how you can read the symbols in your dreams, what the function of your ego actually is, and so much more.

If you enjoy this episode, share it with a friend! They deserve to unlock the key to their dreams too! Check out the Spotify playlist HERE!

Girlhood is a state of constant embarrassment. Not to mention the feeling that you're just...always in trouble? So how the hell are we supposed to become well-adjusted adults when most of us have been raised to have a deep shame rooted in our bones?

Well today, I've got Hailey Noecker, self-published author that's absolutely killing it on Substack right now and a prevention specialist for a child advocacy nonprofit.
