ZLORD podcast

Before the pandemic, teZa and Carter Lord, cohosts of ZLORD, started podcasting to document their 6-month car-and-tent camping trip. Now, the journeyers continue with their long-planned exploration of South America. In Bolivia, the pair discuss topics such as the Indigenous people of the Andes' use of their sacred plant, coca. See tezalord.com and carterlord.com for more about hosts.

As they depart on a long-anticipated South American sojourn—hurricane Ian blasts full force toward their Florida home. Here cohosts Carter and teZa first share their numbed exasperation as they deal with myriad circumstances surrounding an unusually fierce flood-and-wind storm PLUS the everyday exasperating circumstances of international travel in our post-Covid world; and then, two days later—they are safely arrived as Carter is off practicing for his upcoming tennis tournament in Santa Cruz, Bolivia. teZa now explains how she learned to stay calm through similar encounters with life's unexpected knockouts that are vividly recorded in her earlier nonfiction narrative "In the 'I'". See tezalord.com and carterlord.com for details about ZLORD podcast hosts.

A lively conversation about how much or how little of both planning and spontaneity makes for a balanced, happy, safe life—and a fun trip to unknown places. See tezalord.com and carterlord.com about cohosts of ZLORD podcast.

This episode shows teZa revealing knowledge she's gleaned from having obsessed about the link between sex and her own spirituality. Everything she says is based on her own life's journey, as documented in her 4 nonfiction books: see tezalord.com for cohost's books/art/activism. Cohost Carter asks questions mostly here. This is a topic that a lot of people are interested in, sometimes without even knowing how this link between these two potent energies within humans is so intimately connected. carterlord.com is cohost.

We all lose it every now and then. We're human. Even those of us who want to experience life from its highest plane of pleasant possibilities as ZLORD's cohosts teZa and Carter often say they do, have to deal with "a bad day" or a "bad thing happening." Yet---being angry, disappointed, sad, jealous---negative emotions sometimes overwhelm us. What to do when this happens? In this episode the talk is frank and honest, as usual, revealing how each of us have to admit our common human foibles, as well as our aspirations to be spiritual as well as materially safe and content. We all want to enjoy life. But sometimes we have to really WORK for that to happen when things don't go our way. Tools and suggestions are offered from the cohosts' personal experiences.
