In this episode, I'm joined by Deborah Pascuzzi, who serves as an End of Life Companion and Complementary Alternative Medicine Certified Practitioner. She's with people walking side by side with them as they face death.

In this episode, I'm joined by my friend, Nicole Casteel—a medicine musician and sound healer—to talk honestly about womanhood, and the journey from trauma and disconnection to embodiment, finding your voice, and developing your own relationship with spirituality as a source of resilience and connection.

In this episode, I'm joined by my good friend and mentor, Dr Colleen Byrne. She's a professor over at University of Maryland College Park, and she specializes in ethics, in psychology. She's the person I go to, and I've gone to for years with any kind of ethical question. We're talking openly about AI & ethics to help explore this emerging technology and how people can use it thoughtfully and intentionally for mental health needs—without giving away your agency, or connection to your own self trust and inner voice.

Lately, I’ve been facing an existential crisis around being a writer and artist—what it means to create in a world that doesn’t seem to value art, particularly with the rise of AI. The path can feel lonely and uncertain. To explore this, I invited artist Deng Ming-Dao to offer his perspective.

In this conversation, we explore how to find your voice as an artist. Ming-Dao reminds us that art is not about sales, fame, or approval—it’s about being true to your inner voice and creating simply because your soul calls you to.

This conversation isn't an endorsement, but rather an invitation to you to reflect on this question, which is: what is the true nature of consciousness and how can it help us?
