Hello Universe: Recent Episodes
Kyley Caldwell, Eva Liao
Hello Universe is a podcast about what it means to be spiritual in our real, everyday lives. Featuring the personal stories of a diverse range of guests, we dig in on meditation, manifestation, prayer, self-love, self-care, addiction and sobriety, ritual in and out of religious tradition, activism, intuition, and all things witchy and woo. Join us for organic, free-flowing conversations about how, when and why we connect with something greater than ourselves.
It's the final episode of Hello Universe, and we're not going out quietly. Eva and Kyley sit down for one last long, meandering, deeply honest conversation — the kind that made this show what it is.
They talk about how they both arrived at the same conclusion at the same time: it was simply, organically, time. From there, the conversation opens up into everything this podcast has really been about — personal evolution, spirituality, surrender, ambition, friendship, and the courage to show up as a work in progress.
Kyley reflects on her journey from corporate sales director to embodied, magic-wielding creator. Eva shares how years of spiritual exploration have slowly dissolved her perfectionism and her fear of being misunderstood. Together, they look back at the lessons baked into the behind-the-scenes of building this show — the guilt, the hiding, the moments of repair, and the unconditional love that made it all work.
They close with some of their most honest advice yet: change your mind freely, share yourself as a work in progress, know your capacity, have the audacity to ask — and never underestimate the profound medicine of a really good female friendship.
This isn't really an ending. It's a pivot. And if you want to stay in the loop for what comes next, be sure to share your email here so we can keep in touch.
In This Episode:
- How Kyley and Eva both independently realized the show had reached its natural end — at the exact same time
- How each of them has changed over six years (as seen through each other's eyes)
- The evolution of their definitions of spirituality — from linearity and answers to surrender and embodiment
- The role the body, nature, and "I don't know" have played in their spiritual growth
- How their relationships with ambition have shifted from lack-fueled striving to something more heart-led
- The wisdom inside creative partnerships — what makes them thrive and what breaks them
- Their final pieces of advice for listeners on creativity, capacity, and showing up honestly

Courtney Smith, executive coach and co-author of Choosing Wholeness Over Goodness, joins us this week and we are so excited to talk to her about what it looks like to loosen our grip on being “good,” and instead allow for wholeness.
This conversation also opens up a deeper framework through the Enneagram and the original roots of the “seven deadly sins” not as moral failings, but as patterns that once helped us feel safe, alive, or connected… and eventually became limiting.
What we cover in this episode:
🔥 The “skillful practice of anger” and what it means to feel it without directing or suppressing it
😬 Why anger is so often followed by fear—and how those two get intertwined in the body
🧠 The subtle ways we avoid anger (including disassociation, fatigue, and “not knowing” we’re angry)
✋🏽 How anger can function as a clean signal: “this isn’t working”
🌊 Why anger doesn’t come with a roadmap—and what it asks of us instead
🌀 The original meaning of the “seven deadly sins” and how they’ve been misunderstood over time
🧭 How patterns that once protected us can become the very things that keep us stuck
💔 The cost of trying to be “good” and how it can lead to self-abandonment
🌿 What it means to choose wholeness instead—and why that can feel disorienting
🎭 Using parts work and playfulness (yes, including your inner “traffic cop”) to relate to yourself differently
⚡ The connection between anger, aliveness, and life force in the body

In this episode, we sit down with Reverend Gerlyn Henry, a Toronto-based Anglican priest whose presence online has been quietly (and sometimes not so quietly) shifting how people think about faith, the church, and what it means to live in alignment with what you actually believe.
Reverend Gerlyn shares openly about learning discernment in a world that constantly demands a reaction. About making mistakes publicly and letting those moments shape her integrity rather than collapse her into shame. About the responsibility of having a “pulpit” in the modern age—whether that’s a church or a TikTok account.
Toward the end of the episode, she shares about her recent trip to Palestine and what it was like to witness firsthand the realities on the ground. It’s a sobering and humanizing look at how narratives are shaped, how separation is maintained, and what it means to actually see something for yourself.
What we cover in this episode:
- 🌿 Learning discernment in a world that constantly demands your voice—and how to tell what’s actually yours to carry
- 🔥 Why making mistakes (especially publicly) can be one of the most honest ways to grow
- 💔 The difference between discomfort that stretches you and discomfort that signals something is out of alignment
- 🧭 How to build a moral compass over time—and why it often comes from reflection, not perfection
- 🕊️ What it’s like to represent faith in a time when so many people feel hurt by religious institutions
- 🌊 The role of resentment in spiritual life—and what might be underneath it
- ⚖️ How proximity to power can distort values, even in spaces meant to serve love and justice
- 🌍 A firsthand account of visiting Palestine, witnessing separation and disparity, and what it means to “bear witness”
- 💡 The tension between staying silent and speaking up—and why “you cannot be a coward at the pulpit”
- 🤝 Small, everyday moments where integrity is tested—and how those moments shape who we become
Reverend Gerlyn's bible recommendations:
-
First Nations Translation
-
The Bible Project’s God’s Story as told by God’s Children
-
The Woman’s Bible by Elizabeth Cady Stanton
-
Harper Colin’s Study Bible (for a standard study Bible)
-
True Images Teen Bible (for young teen girls, not affirming. Needs a conversation around gender roles and sexuality, but will help child actually enjoy reading the Bible)
-

Simona Irwin is a Toronto-based mindfulness teacher, somatic practitioner and family constellation facilitator who weaves nervous system tending, deep ecology, and embodied movement into spaces of belonging and aliveness.
This is a conversation about healing, but not in a neat or prescriptive way. It’s about what it means to live through something difficult, to change because of it, and to keep meeting yourself as that change continues.
What we cover in this episode:
🌊 The practice of letting life change you (instead of trying to control every outcome)
🧠 Chronic illness, fear, and the surprising role of the nervous system in healing
🔥 The exhausting loop of trying everything—and what happens when you stop
💔 Mother wounds, grief, and the complexity of showing up at the end of a life
🪶 What “willingness” actually looks like in real time (not the Instagram version)
🌀 The tension between mystical experiences and being a grounded, practical human
🌱 How giving others grace can quietly open the door to giving it to yourself
🧍🏻♀️ The parts of us that resist healing—and why they might not be wrong

Kyley and Eva sit down to talk about what has been happening in North America around ICE, immigration enforcement, and the wave of fear, grief, rage, confusion, and moral distress many people are carrying in their bodies right now.
They explore what happens when institutions dehumanize people, how fear spreads through communities, and why numbness can start to feel like a survival strategy. At the same time, they reflect on the quiet, often unglamorous work of staying human: letting grief be present, allowing anger without letting it harden into hatred, and remembering that compassion does not require self-destruction.
This is a conversation for anyone who feels torn between caring deeply and needing to protect their own mental and emotional health.
What we cover
🧠 How the nervous system responds to ongoing political and social threat
💔 The emotional impact of ICE enforcement on individuals and communities
🧍♀️ Why numbness, shutdown, and overwhelm are understandable responses
🔥 Making space for anger without letting it turn into dehumanization
🌊 Grief as a natural response to witnessing harm and loss of safety
🧭 The difference between staying informed and being constantly flooded
🛑 Boundaries as a form of care, not avoidance
🤝 How to hold compassion without collapsing into helplessness

In this episode of Hello Universe, Kyley and Eva wade unpack how victim consciousness can form as a protective response to real harm, heartbreak, overwhelm, and unmet needs and how it can quietly harden into an identity that keeps us stuck, depleted, and disconnected from our power.
This conversation is not about bypassing pain, minimizing trauma, or pretending hard things didn’t happen. Quite the opposite. Kyley and Eva explore how victim consciousness often arises when pain hasn’t been fully felt, witnessed, or metabolized. They talk candidly about resentment, self-pity, martyrdom, righteous anger, and the strange comfort that can come from staying “right” and wronged.
This is a conversation for anyone who has ever felt stuck in resentment, helplessness, or “why me?” energy, and also for anyone who is afraid to fully feel their anger, grief, or longing.
What we cover in this episode:
🌀 What victim consciousness actually is and how it differs from experiencing real harm
🧠 How victim identity can form as a protective response to unwitnessed pain
🔥 The difference between liberating anger and anger that keeps us stuck
💔 Self-pity, martyrdom, resentment, and the “I’ve done everything right” trap
🧍♀️ How victim consciousness feels in the body and why somatic awareness matters
🛁 The “warm bath” of victimhood and why it can feel so hard to leave
👶 Parenting, inner children, and the role of allowed emotional expression
🌱 Reclaiming power without bypassing grief, vulnerability, or reality

What does it really means to give yourself permission to be a messy b*tch—especially in the places where it feels hardest.
Sparked by Eva being back in Taiwan with her family, this conversation explores what happens when all your tools fly out the window, ten years of therapy evaporate at the front door, and you’re left face-to-face with old patterns, big feelings, and the relentless voice that says you should know better by now.
This episode is for anyone heading into family gatherings, relational landmines, or inner winters where things feel messy or unresolved and are looking to experiment with a different approach: letting yourself be imperfect, uncontained, and human.
What we cover in this episode:
✨ Giving yourself permission to be a “messy b*tch” without bypassing responsibility
🧠 The shame spiral of “I should know better” and why it’s so common in spiritual and personal development spaces
🏠 What happens to your nervous system when you’re back with family—and why your tools might temporarily disappear
🧩 How perfectionism often forms as protection against shame
🌀 The myth of a “perfect self” and the exhaustion of endless self-improvement
⚖️ Accountability vs. punishment: why guilt doesn’t actually help us change "
💔 The subtle ways we weaponize spiritual insights against ourselves
🔓 Releasing self-policing and noticing how inner violence fuels outer conflict
🌱 Why compassion creates more real change than criticism ever could
🕊️ Exploring innocence—not just in others, but in yourself
🔥 The fear and grief that arise when old identities start to dissolve
🤍 Touching unconditional love and why it can feel unfamiliar, fleeting, or even scary

Kyley and Eva explore the real roots of burnout, the difference between desire and proving, and why so many people feel torn between achievement and inner alignment. They unwind the cultural belief that you must choose between being connected to your soul and creating a successful life, and offer a grounded alternative: ambition becomes nourishing when it’s linked to desire instead of fear.
A listener asks:
Hello Universe. I'm feeling overwhelmed by hustle culture and the constant push to achieve more. I'm ambitious and I want a life that feels successful, but I also feel like I'm burning out. Can ambition and spirituality actually coexist, or am I trying to merge two things that don't fit? How do I find balance when one part of me wants to go big and another part just wants to breathe? Signed Ambitious, but Spiritual.
What we cover in this episode:
✨ Why burnout is a signal, not a personal failure
🌱 The difference between ambition and desire (and why one drains you while the other fuels you)
🌀 How proving-energy pulls us into chasing, urgency, and depletion
💭 Relearning how to listen to your desire when it’s buried under productivity culture
🔥 Why the stories we carry about success often trace back to capitalism, colonialism, and old survival strategies
💗 The emotional vulnerability of receiving, resting, and telling the truth about what you need
💫 How presence creates the kind of impact hustle alone never can
🛑 The role of safety: why rest, desire, and “being” can feel uncomfortable at first
🌿 What it looks like to let parts of your identity crumble so something truer can take shape
🌈 How clarity about who you are shifts your definition of success
🎢 Parenting, intuition, and the small everyday initiations that mirror the bigger spiritual journey
🌙 Why being comes before doing, and why everything changes when you let that become your internal compass
This episode is a conversation about returning to yourself, honouring the truth of what you want now, and letting being - not doing - become the source of your impact.

This week's listener asks a question about making a decision at a crossroad - both Kyley and Eva have danced around big changes more than once and share their advice and experience when weighing the complexities of money, safety, job transitions, entrepreneurship culture, and the often-invisible emotional terrain of taking a leap.
The question:
Hello Universe. I'm standing at a fork in the road and every day it feels harder to choose. I've been offered a promotion at my current job, more money and responsibility and the professional recognition.
I feel like I've always wanted. But if I'm being honest with myself, part of me feels hollow at the thought of saying yes. The other option is to finally take the leap that I've been dreaming about for years, quit my job, and start my own small business. It's exciting but terrifying. There's no guarantee of success, and I worry I might be walking away from stability just because I'm restless.
How can I tell whether my desire for change is intuition or just impatience? Signed standing at a crossroads?
What we cover in this episode:
🌿 How “hollow” feelings around an opportunity can be one of the clearest internal signals we get — and why it matters more than external logic
🔍 The real reason we convince ourselves we’re confused, even when part of us already knows the truth
💬 Why people often seek out “permission-givers,” and what that reveals about the decision they’ve already made
🔥 The myth of the linear, consequence-free leap — and how following your heart can be both right and really uncomfortable
💸 The complicated emotional world of money, safety, escape fantasies, and why entrepreneurship gets romanticized in unhelpful ways
⚖️ The difference between taking a leap that stretches you vs. taking a leap that overloads your nervous system
✨ How to discern intuition from impatience by listening for the quiet, steady pull beneath the fear
❤️ Why regret usually comes from not trying — not from trying and falling down along the way
This is a helpful listen for anyone circling a big decision, feeling both longing and dread, and wondering whether their desire for change is intuition, impatience, or something deeper calling from underneath the noise.

Eva’s spent years wrestling with one of the most loaded questions in a woman’s life: Do I actually want kids? In this episode, she finally names her answer—not from pressure or panic, but from a deep exhale that arrived when her real life (and real relationship) reflected the truth she’d been circling for years. She and Kyley trace the grief, conditioning, cultural expectations, plant medicine visions, and tiny moments of clarity that led her to choose a childfree path—and the freedom, tenderness, and community that decision opens up.
If you’ve been wrestling with this question yourself—or just feeling the weight of needing to decide—we hope this conversation offers clarity, comfort, and the confidence to trust your own timing.
What we cover in this episode:
✨ The relief that surfaced when Eva stopped forcing clarity and started listening to her body
🧭 The emotional undertow of indecision, timelines, and the fear of “getting it wrong”
🥲 The grief that lives inside every path—motherhood, not-motherhood, and unlived lives
🧨 How cultural and familial expectations shape who women believe they’re supposed to be
🌿 The plant medicine ceremony that revealed the beauty and the cost of motherhood
🏡 Reimagining belonging: chosen family, community, and aging without kids
🧡 Meeting regret with maturity instead of letting it dictate your choices
🔥 The unexpected empowerment inside letting your life be shaped by truth, not pressure

Abigail Rose Clarke is a somatic teacher and author whose work invites people back into honest relationship with their bodies, and the world around them.
Abigail speaks about somatics in a way that’s refreshingly un-branded. She reminds us that the body isn’t a self-improvement project but a whole ecosystem that includes our relationships, histories, communities, and the ground beneath our feet.
🌿 What We Talk About
🌱 Living in the Ecotone
Abigail’s discovery of the term ecotone—the meeting place between ecosystems—and how it mirrors the emotional edge where grief and joy can exist side by side.
💫 What Somatics Actually Means
Tracing the roots of the word “somatic” to its original sense of the whole body, and why reducing it to nervous-system regulation misses the point.
🌍 Gravity, Ease, and the Body’s Relationship to Earth
Abigail reframes gravity as an ongoing relationship rather than a force to resist, describing the relief that comes when we let ourselves be held.
🔥 When Wellness Becomes Another Job
A grounded critique of how capitalism turns embodiment into a product to be bought and sold—and what it might look like to reclaim our practices from that system.
💔 Grief, Pain, and the Ground That Holds Us
How the death of her longtime dog brought Abigail back to the simplest somatic truth: that the earth underneath us offers unconditional support when nothing else can.
🌸 G R O W L: A Simple Somatic Framework
Abigail’s approachable method—Ground (or Gravity), Relate, Observe, Widen, Love—offering a way to meet the body with curiosity rather than correction.
💍 Commitment Without Constriction
Reflections on her recent engagement and the ongoing experiment of how two people can choose each other while still allowing change, space, and evolution.
🌕 The Shape of Long-Term Love and Friendship
A re-imagining of commitment that values honesty and aliveness over longevity, and how the health of any bond depends on letting each person keep becoming.

This week, Eva and Kyley sit down with Eduardo Rombauer, a Brazilian “soul scientist,” activist, and healer whose work begins and ends with love — not as an idea, but as a living force.
Once a political organizer trying to change the world from the outside, Eduardo now guides others in what he calls “the revolution of the heart.” He believes that love is both our original nature and our most advanced technology — and that remembering it is the real work of our time.
Eduardo’s work is about finding those barriers and learning to stay with them — not to remove them through force, but to soften them through acceptance.
What we cover in this episode 🌹
💗 Love beyond the mind: Why trying to define love keeps us from experiencing it — and how the intellect can never grasp what the heart already knows.
🌎 The soul as scientist: Eduardo’s evolution from politics to consciousness work, and how he now explores love through community, healing, and spiritual inquiry.
🧬 “To love is to unite without mixing.” How this one principle applies to everything from parenting and relationships to nations and the self.
👶 Parenthood as initiation: The way Eduardo’s daughter became his greatest mirror — helping him confront inherited anger, repair generational patterns, and rediscover tenderness.
🌑 Loving the “evil side”: What it means to include every shadow and contradiction within us, and why true self-love requires embracing what we’ve been taught to reject.
🕊️ From savior to servant: The humbling shift that comes from realizing you can’t rescue anyone — only walk beside them as they remember their own power.
🔥 Facing ridicule as a spiritual practice: Eduardo’s recent initiation into being seen, misunderstood, and still choosing love anyway.
💫 Mind in service of soul: A practice for using awareness as a bridge between intellect and intuition, reason and reverence.
Eduardo’s story is a reminder that love is not something we earn or achieve. It’s the material we’re made of.

In this week’s listener Q&A, Eva and Kyley unpack a deceptively simple question:
"Do you resonate with the idea of “emotionally immature” people, or the framework of “old souls” vs “younger souls”? Sometimes these labels help me soften toward challenging people in my life (like parents, in-laws, or bosses). Other times, I worry they’re just ways to avoid looking at my own patterns.
So my bigger question is: when you’re in relationships that really test you, do you find frameworks like this useful? Or are they just the mind trying to control things?"
________________________________________
In this episode, we explore:
💭 When labels like “emotionally immature” or “narcissist” offer relief—and when they become crutches for self-protection or self-abandonment
🪞 The difference between using frameworks to understand others vs. using them to avoid your own patterns
🌗 Why discernment (not perfection) is the real skill of emotional and spiritual maturity
⚖️ How the “old soul / young soul” hierarchy can quietly feed superiority, ego, or even spiritual elitism
❤️ The power of dropping the story altogether - what happens when we meet people as they are, without a label or framework
💡 How anger, resentment, and cynicism can actually be doorways to deeper acceptance and peace
🌀 What it looks like to balance compassion with boundaries - especially in relationships that are less safe or still painful
🔥 The ongoing practice of holding paradox: seeing what’s true about someone and keeping your heart open

In this heart-opening conversation, we sit down with Shahem - Black queer therapist, content creator, and community organizer whose work bridges grief, joy, and resistance.
Together we explore how to grieve in a culture that doesn’t make space for loss, how joy can be a radical practice of survival, and how resistance can look like choosing authenticity when the world wants you numb. This episode is a reminder that balance is about staying connected to ourselves and each other through it all.
In this episode we explore:
✨ Grief as more than death—why losing a job, identity, or sense of autonomy deserves to be honored as loss
🌀 The three pillars of balance: grief, joy, and resistance—and how each keeps the others alive
❤️ How to actually grieve
💬 Men and emotional disconnection—what patriarchy steals from everyone, and why reclaiming tenderness is liberation
🔥 Resistance as the everyday practice of showing up authentically”
🌈 Community as the antidote to despair—why healing, grieving, and joy all require other people
💡 “Not enoughness” as a tool of oppression—and how reclaiming your own enoughness becomes an act of defiance
🌻 Finding your role in the revolution—why balance means giving what you can, in the ways that are true to you
If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, cynical, or unsure how to stay tender in the face of so much collective pain, let this conversation be a place to land.

In this episode, we sit down with Susan V, Eva's dear friend and facilitator of The Work of Byron Katie, to discuss how to stay connected to yourself — in conflict, in love, and when you’re single.
They unpack how shame turns into perfectionism, how to take responsibility without collapsing into guilt, and making peace with being single. Susan shares how she released the idea that love would “save” her, and how that shift made space for her to stay connected to herself when she found herself in a loving relationship.
This episode is for anyone who’s ever over-apologized, abandoned themselves for love, or struggled to stay true to themselves when things get messy.
We discuss:
Being whole in relationship — How to be yourself while staying connected to others.
Accountability vs. shame — Taking responsibility for your impact without turning it into self-blame.
Perfectionism trap — How trying to “get it right” keeps you from experiencing fulfillment and safety
Singlehood & self-worth — Letting go of the idea that being single means you're unlovable
Real love — Why healthy relationships come from wholeness, not from finally being “healed enough.”
About Susan:
Susan Vielguth is a Facilitator of The Work of Byron Katie, whose work is rooted in the liberation that comes from questioning our painful beliefs. You can learn more about Susan at theworkwithsusan.com.

In this week’s episode, we dig into the paradox at the heart of the spiritual path: how to surrender to life’s unfolding while still staying fiercely committed to your dreams.
This conversation was sparked by a listener question that felt so alive for both of us right now:
"Hello universe. I keep circling around the same dilemma. How do I balance surrender with my own will and desires? I have clear dreams for my life and business, and I feel called to pursue them, but how do I know when I'm gripping too tightly in control versus when I'm actually being asked to stay committed and persevered despite the obstacles? Sometimes devotion and discipline feel like the opposite of surrender. How do I weave them together? Signed God, take the wheel, but not my dreams."
We get real about:
- The subtle difference between devotion and self-abandonment
- Why “should” is almost always a red flag that you’re forcing
- Learning to trust life moment by moment (even when things fall apart)
- How attachment to a specific outcome often masks the deeper desire underneath
- Finding the wisdom inside the “gripping” without bypassing or bulldozing over it
Along the way, you’ll hear stories about our own messy edges with business, health, parenting, and money—and how the practice of surrender meets the daily reality of deadlines, big goals, and longing for stability.
✨ If you’ve ever wondered how to trust life without losing sight of your dreams, this episode is for you.

We’re back for Season 6 of Hello Universe! 🎉
We kick off this season with a listener question so many are asking:
”Every time I open the news, I feel like I'm hit with another wave of heartbreak. Part of me wants to stay awake and engaged, but another part of me just feels so tired. But then I turn away to preserve my sense of self and protect joy, and I feel guilty and maybe irresponsible. How do you hold hope in a moment that feels so dark? How do I find the balance in a moment like this?”
Highlights
- The “not enough monster” that latches onto everything—including activism.
- Joy as resistance, and the radical practice of letting yourself feel good even when the world is on fire.
- “Tend to your part of the garden”—why committing to your thread matters more than chasing all of them.
- The difference between helplessness (grief that opens) and despair (grief that shuts down).
- Why living in possibility is vulnerable work—and how to practice it every day.
- Eva’s blunt question: “Are we evolving or regressing?” and the nuanced answers that follow.
- The paradox of progress: letting go of the myth of linear evolution while still choosing trust.
- Kyley on unworthiness as the invisible wall between us and love—and why believing we deserve better is collective sacred work.
- The radical agency of choosing happiness, and why blame is a seductive detour away from accountability.
This episode is a balm for anyone who has felt the whiplash of living in a world of abundance and devastation at once. If you’ve ever wrestled with guilt for feeling joy, or wondered if your thread really matters, we made this one for you.

Melody Beatty wrote a number of really important books, including most famously Codependent No More, and she actually passed away in February of 2025, which makes this really moving interview so much sweeter. I am happy for you to get a chance to experience some of her warmth and honesty and courage.
Bestselling author Melody Beattie comes on the show to teach us about codependency, loving yourself more than others, setting limits, and generally being a badass.

In this deeply personal and vulnerable conversation, Eva is pulling back the curtain on her relationship with her partner, Tom, an incredibly special and unique human by all accounts. He’s also the man she once had on a spiritual pedestal, who also happens to be 26 years older than her, a wildly private human. In other words… not your average “how we met” story.
In this conversation with Kyley, Eva spill’s on all the odd and beautiful circumstances that come with their love — from navigating projections (“isn’t that the cliché of the teacher dating the student?”) to dismantling conditioning about what’s “right,” to learning how to actually let ourselves be loved without condition.
It’s juicy, hilarious, and rooted in something much bigger than just romance: it’s about self-love, joy, and trusting life enough to let the good all the way in.
In this episode, we discuss:
- The meet-cute that took seven years — from a Costa Rica retreat crush to living together in a surf shack in Brazil
- Love without conditions: how it feels to be in a partnership where both people are exploring whether there’s any limit to love or joy.
- Pedestals are prisons: how putting someone “above” you is unkind to them and to yourself, and what happens when you smash the hierarchy.
- Self-love as subtraction, not addition: letting go of self-condemnation, judgment, and the “I” story so Source can pour in.
- Being willing to be disliked — and why your joy might be the medicine that irritates someone right into their own healing.
- Living under the influence of good: the simple but terrifying practice of trusting life right now, in this moment.
This episode is an honest look at difficult relationships in all their paradoxical glory. It will touch anyone navigating complex family dynamics, caregiving, inner conflict, or the slow, radical return to self.
Eva opens up about the intense push-pull dynamic with her mother—someone who is mentally ill, disabled, and fiercely challenging, yet also one of the people she loves most in the world. From the tropical beauty of Brazil to the ancestral weight of being back in Taiwan, Eva unpacks the spiritual and emotional reckoning of caretaking, resentment, cultural expectations, mortality, and what love actually asks of us.
Kyley, ever the sorting hat of spiritual insight, helps organize the messy candy pile of emotion. Together, they navigate:
- How resentment isn’t your enemy, but your flashlight
- The difference between love with a story vs. love without one
- What it means to love yourself and someone else without abandoning either
- How sacrifice can either be sovereign or soul-squelching
- The unbearable tension between caregiving and freedom
- Why boundaries can sometimes become cold walls
- The danger of spiritual bypassing through over-intellectualizing pain
- The terrifying (and freeing) question: What if their life isn’t your responsibility?
“My needs are generous”—the new mantra for every recovering codependent
By the end, Eva has a mic-drop moment of realization: What if real love—capital L Love—is loving yourself without a story?

One of Eva's favorite conversations from last year! We sat down with Diana Harper—relational astrologer, poet of the cosmos, and philosophical firestarter—to explore a radically different take on healing, belonging, and what it means to be in true relationship.
This isn’t a conversation about “doing the work” in isolation. It’s a remembrance of your interconnectedness with everything: your ancestors (yes, even the weird ones), your neighborhood spiders, the trees on your block, the grief in your belly, the granite boulders in your backyard.
We explore:
Diana’s definition of healing as “increasing the capacity to be in relationship”
The grief and rage of being severed from Indigeneity—and how that rupture underpins modern disconnection
The deep wisdom encoded in cities, sidewalks, vegetables, and purple carrot soup
How creature comforts like herbal tea can reveal our tenderest fears about worthiness and comfort
The devastating illusion of separateness—and how spiritual belonging doesn’t mean sameness
This episode will leave you soft, wrecked, held, inspired, and maybe a little furious at the Stanley Cup industrial complex.
Whether you’re crying in a grocery store parking lot at sunset or whispering thank-you to your morning tea (or giant granite boulder in your backyard), Diana reminds us: you are in relationship. You belong. You’ve always belonged.

This week, we’re bringing you a deeply real, wildly tender conversation with Ned Buskirk — founder of You’re Going to Die — an artist, grief guide, and all-around wise soul who is not afraid to look directly into the darkness… and still choose love.
Together we dive into:
How grief work can be healing — but also a sneaky trap for self-worth
The quiet ways life tries to harden us, and how to stay (or become) soft
Parenthood as a portal to awe, heartbreak, and presence
What it means to dissolve the ego and disappear into connection
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the weight of this world — or confused about why you’re drawn to the darkness in the first place — this conversation will feel like a warm, unflinching hand on your shoulder.
Ned Buskirk is the Founder, Podcast Host, Facilitator, and Executive Director for You’re Going to Die [YG2D] – a 501(c)3 nonprofit bringing diverse communities creatively into the conversation of death and dying, inspiring life by unabashedly sourcing our shared mortality.

In this very special episode, we sit down with Eva’s personal mentor of two years, Amma Thanasanti. Formerly living as a fully ordained Buddhist nun for 28 years, today Amma guides others in the path of embodied awakening—bringing together deep meditation, nervous system repair, and attachment healing to help people feel truly safe, seen, and at home in themselves.
Through Amma’s stories—including an unbelievable near-death encounter with a bear—this conversation explores the ways early attachment wounds shape our nervous systems, how safety can be reclaimed through somatic practices, and how reimagining our origin stories can transform not only our minds, but our physiology.
This episode is less of an intellectual download and more of a transmission. If you’ve ever longed for deep connection, struggled with overwhelm, or felt like your nervous system was living in a permanent state of hypervigilance—this one is for you.
🌀 In this episode, we explore: What real safety feels like in the body—and why many of us have never actually experienced it * How Amma re-imagined her origin story through “belly bonding” ceremonies with the Earth * The role of the pelvic floor in nervous system regulation, trauma, and embodiment * The three-pillar framework for attachment repair, developed by Dr. Dan Brown and David Elliott * The difference between telling yourself you’re safe and actually feeling it somatically * The subtle but profound impact of living with an insecure attachment style* * Why some people retreat from relationships—not because they don’t want connection, but because their system is stuck in overprotection
Two years ago, Eva packed up her life in Portland, left a breakup in the rearview mirror, and hit the open road to start over in Austin, Texas… solo. What followed was an epic road trip, equal parts grief, healing, awe, and badassery. In this reissued episode, Eva shares the behind-the-scenes of that transitional season—one where everything was falling apart, and somehow also coming together better than she ever could’ve planned.
It’s summer. People are road-tripping. Maybe you’re also in a season of upheaval. Maybe you're grieving, starting over, or wondering if it's possible for life to get better than you imagined. Spoiler alert: it is.
This episode is your message from the future: you’re gonna be okay. Actually? Better than okay.
What we cover in this episode:
- 😭 The messy, nonlinear reality of grief (and how Eva tried to "do it well")
- 💔 Rage, sadness, and the surprise healing that comes from visiting an ex
- 🧼 The difference between surviving grief vs. trying to control it
- 🐍 Lessons from nature, the desert, and the wide open sky
- 🔥 The secret catharsis of screaming and throwing rocks into water (yes, really)
- 🌈 The beauty of trusting the in-between and letting arrival be just another beginning
- 💡Why it's okay to romanticize a new life—and why it's also okay when it turns out to be messy AF
- 💃🏼 The importance of place: finding the kind of land that makes you feel alive
- 🤝 Friendship as medicine and why it's absolutely possible to make real friends as an adult

What does it mean to hold the unbearable complexities of the world without shutting down or lashing out?
In this rich, heartfelt conversation, Eva and Kyley sit down with Ellen Wong, entheogenic death companion and host of the Mum podcast, to explore how we can stay present with grief, righteous anger, and the impossible paradoxes of life.
Together, we grapple with questions like:
- How do we show up when the world is on fire?
- How do we stay human when social media, activism, and politics feel polarized and violent?
- Is it possible to hold both fierce anger and deep compassion without collapsing into binaries?
Ellen shares her profound perspective as a death doula, inviting us to develop an intimate relationship with death—not just at the end of life, but in the countless transitions, identity shifts, and ego deaths we encounter along the way. The conversation weaves through themes of grief, cancel culture, safety, attachment, social justice, ancestral wounds, and the liberating power of surrender.
💥 Expect tears, belly laughs, and a radically honest look at what it means to be alive in these times

What if you don’t see anything when you meditate? What if your intuition doesn’t show up the way everyone says it’s supposed to?
This week, we answer a question from Spiritual FOMO—someone who’s craving a deeper connection to their intuition but feels stuck when it comes to visualization.Re: intuition.
If you’ve ever felt like the only one not “seeing things” during meditation or wondered whether you’re doing it wrong—you’re not alone.
Dear Eva and Kyley,
I keep hearing people talk about how powerful visualization is during meditation and manifestation—but honestly, I struggle with it so much.
When someone says “picture a golden light” or “see your higher self” my brain is just… blank.
It makes me feel like I’m doing it wrong. I want to connect more deeply to my intuition and spiritual practice, but I feel blocked. Is there something I can do to strengthen this muscle?
With love

Can you truly love your body and still want to change it?
This week, we answer a listener question from someone who deeply loves herself… but also kinda wants to change it.
Does getting Botox or hitting the gym mean you’ve sold out your self-love? Is there room for both radical acceptance and the desire to feel even hotter?
We dig into vanity, desire, body politics, and why self-love doesn’t have to mean self-stagnation.
Re: body image:
Hi Eva and Kyley! I love your show and here’s my question: Can I truly love myself and still want to look hotter? Like, I do love myself. I’ve done a ton of inner work around body image, self-worth, and all that good stuff. But also… I still want to glow up. I want to feel sexier, maybe lose a little weight, and I think about getting botox… And sometimes I wonder—am I being vain? Or betraying the self-love I’ve worked so hard for? Does wanting to look better mean I don’t accept myself as I am? Or is it okay to want both—to radically love who I am and also still want to turn heads when I walk into a room? Help. I’m confused and also slightly overthinking this.
Thanks, love you both! Signed, Hot & Healing

What happens when astrology starts to feel like a rigid set of rules, instead of a tool for self-discovery? Sofia Adler joins us to talk about how astrology can create anxiety instead of insight, and how it can become a box we feel stuck inside, rather than a relationship to ourselves and the stars that we are living. Sofia also shares about her current work with Emotion Code and energy work, and how it’s changing everything for her.

This week, Eva brings a vulnerable and relatable truth to the table: she’s been struggling with the belief that she’s too rigid—too controlling, too particular, too unwilling to let go. Maybe you’ve had that inner voice too: Why can’t I just chill? Why do I care so much? Why can’t I just go with the flow like everyone else? But once we started pulling on that thread, things got interesting. This conversation is part therapy session, part spiritual detective work, and part reclaiming of the fiercely protective parts of ourselves. If you’ve ever been called “too much,” “too intense,” or “too uptight”… this one’s for you.

This week, our conversation about power takes us on a wild ride. We explore:
• What we’re trying to be powerful about (and why)
• How real power feels in the body and heart
• Why power and surrender might actually be the same thing, or at the very least connected
• and what becomes possible when we stop grasping and start allowing
Plus: a fiery little detour into the systems of cruelty we’re witnessing in American politics, what it means to stay powerful living within them, and the difference between power and control.
This one surprised us. We hope it does the same for you.

Why does pleasure feel so scary sometimes?
Why do we crave it—and then push it away?
In this episode, we’re diving deep into the paradox of pleasure: why it’s often the thing we most want and most resist. We explore how pleasure isn’t just about indulgence—it’s a spiritual practice, a doorway to presence, and even a tool for ego dissolution.
Some of the questions we ask:
• What does it really mean to let ourselves feel pleasure, instead of chasing it?
• Why might pleasure be the thing we’ve been looking for all along?
• What role does pleasure play in our spiritual journey?
If you’ve ever felt afraid to want too much, worried that joy might be selfish, or wondered whether you’re “allowed” to feel good—this episode is for you.

Eva is in Taiwan, caring for aging parents and caught in the intensity of loving them, loving herself, sorting out the care they need while trying to figure out what the hell she needs, too. In Eva fashion, she comes to this pressure-cooker of a situation and asks "what the hell even IS love, really?"
Spoiler alert: Kyley & Eva both cry by the end.

Folks are loving this series, “Am I Going Crazy??” because it’s such a relevant, relatable topic on one’s path to self discovery!!
Now that we’ve given ourselves full permission to be authentic and believe ourselves in part II, this week in part III of this series we address another concern- what we do about being PERCEIVED as crazy?
You’ll hear some very real behind the scenes processing that we decide to leave in the episode because hey, it’s not a real convo about losing our minds if it’s not a little messy, right 😉🤸♂️😘

Liz is back! This time to talk about the monster that is our body.
In this conversation, we speak to our personal history with our own bodies, and what the process of coming home has meant for each of us, and how the body is a portal for deeper transcendent experiences.
If you are someone who is in the process of coming home to your own body, who realizes how much time you spend in your mind in the future or in the past, and feels disconnected from embodiment—this one is for you!

We discuss:

- The inherent discomfort of joy

- And Kyley has a massive ah -ha about the way her relative "preference" for discomfort shows up

What does it mean to live an unconventional life?
How do you handle irreversible decisions, like having children?
How do you know what you want--truly want?
As Eva wraps up her stay in Taiwan, she's contemplating some big moves and spends some time on the show sifting through those questions.
Also, joy continues to be complicated for Kyley. Eva helps her dive into her own resistance to feeling good. (In a swoopy, metaphysical tangent between the two of us, like we do).

Today's guest is Federico Petrelli, a dear friend of Eva's, and this interview was an instant favorite for both of us.
Federico’s life and work revolve around the transformation of suffering into growth.
At a young age, a rare neurological disorder forced him to change the life and worldview he had always taken for granted. He left his job advising Israel’s Mission to the United Nations and embarked on the arduous and wondrous journey of rebuilding and rewiring his nervous system so he could speak, chew and walk again - something his doctors didn’t believe was possible.
Through mindfulness, self-compassion and neuroplasticity techniques, he now helps others on their own journey towards wholeness.
We discuss:
* Plant medicine, psychedelics, and neuroplasticity
-
Dystonia, neurological conditions and healing the body
-
Stories and identity built around illness and difficulties
-
Tending to our trauma and the direct positive impact on physical health

We hit record on a behind-the-scenes business meeting about our desire to grow the show’s audience.
And things quickly get metaphysical!
What is truly required to create your desires? Can you really just believe it into existence?
Can being even more fully yourself be enough? And why that’s different than being “better.”
Plus, we dive into shadow and crack open story each of us are holding about what is required or possible, and land in some pretty vulnerable places on the way.

To continue our 100th episode celebratio, we had two returning guests—BFFs themselves —to get metaphysical and theoretical with us.
Both Leah and Dana have a way of breaking your brain in the best possible way. Every time you walk away from a conversation with them you see something that you didn’t know you don’t know!
Some things we discussed:
- The potency of Not Knowing and how to let go
- Happiness as a social construct
- what it means (and why it matters) to make nothing right or wrong.
- Ontology: wtf is it?
- Suffering and and how it exists as an attempting to meet an unmet need
Dana is a transformational coach, teacher, and guide here to help ever-evolving souls remember the truth of who we really are, not just who we are taught to be.
She spent over a decade as a radical grassroots activist and organizer and burnout lead her to her own inner work, and to ultimately evolve her activism into guided personal transformation as the key to our compassionate, collective becoming.
Her practical magic approach to growth is channeled through what she affectionately refers to as slowdown medicine - to help us see how we truly belong to each other.

In their trippiest episode, Kyley revisit's the magic of of the mushroomless mushroom trip. Eva helps to unpack the chaos that broke Kyley's brain, and they walk away with a deeper understanding, and even a friendship with chaos.
I’m this episode, we discuss:
-
Is anything real? Wtf is reality, and how do we grapple with an awareness that we actually do not exist? (Told you it was trippy!)
-
Understanding paradox as the energy of life and expansion, versus Binary as the energy of control and death
-
The exquisite paradox of being both good and bad, how how we are always both
-
How our efforts to avoid being bad or monstrous exhaust and deplete us
-
The danger of putting Presence on a pedestal
-
Chaos has a bad f-cking rap and why it’s e-v-r-y-t-h-i-n-g
This conversation is like reaching to touch the infinite magic, and an attempt to hold gently that moment, like a bird in your hand.
We are left with the sense that something had been given and taken away, as we are infinitely powerful and also completely insignificant. Ultimately this trippy convo brings a real sense of comfort for both Kyley and Eva, as much as two blobs, in a bigger blob can feel comfort.

In this episode, Sophie Strand shares about Deep Ecology, smell, touch and nature. Her perspective on spirituality and humanity in nature answered a lot of questions about our longing to be in certain places and also created even more questions.
Sophie had the most interesting perspective on the sense of smell and how valuable and intimately connected to our memories and our lives but we are disconnected from it's potent magic. So many experiences, stories (and smells) are discussed and shared with a new and refreshing perspective.
Sophie Strand is a writer based in the Hudson Valley who focuses on the intersection of spirituality, storytelling, and ecology. Her first book of essays The Flowering Wand: Lunar Kings, Lichenized Lovers, Transpecies Magicians, and Rhizomatic Harpists Heal the Masculine is forthcoming in 2022 from Inner Traditions.

Kyley and Eva are back!
If it feels like ages it's because it really has been ages! Happily reunited, Kyley and Eva reflect on last year and discuss:
- Supporting loved ones struggling with mental health
- Taking care of yourself and retiring your sad leggings
- Kyley got a Tattoo
- Self sabotage, and how expectations and scheduling suck the joy out of life, and flipping it to trust your intuitive magic without the pressure.
And looking to the new year:
Picking an intentional word of the year
Forget being "loyal to the suffering" and pick the level of difficulty you actually desire.
Creating a more playful vibe
And continuing to support loved ones with their mental health and how that opens us up, ourselves.

Kyley and Eva had a lot of questions:

Kelsey is an anticapitalist astrologer, teacher, and community initiator. As a being ruled by Jupiter, she is deeply engaged in the processes of expansion and understanding of self, other, relationality, and consciousness. Kelsey is oriented towards the process of deconditioning from programming and returning to the core self.
She uses tools like astrology and human design to support this process with those she works with. She has a background in education and a natal disseminating moon in Sagittarius, and is hugely driven towards sharing her processing and conceptualizations with others through teaching, writing, and speaking. She embraces the simultaneous difference and sameness of each human experience, and utilizes various modalities, frameworks, and spiritual teachings in the process of honoring and navigating this apparent contradiction. In her work with students and clients, Kelsey aims to accompany people on their journeys home to themselves, inviting deeper levels of autonomy and authenticity on the way.
Some things discussed -
- Astrology and human design and how human design is anticapitalistic work
- The process of helping people decondition from programming and re returning to our core selves.
- Each of their own spiritual journeys and what they are learning

Siri Vincent Plouff (they/them) is a Nordic witch, rune reader, and tarot reader living on Anishinaabe and Dakota land in Minneapolis, MN. As an unabashedly queer person, they are constantly interrogating runes and Nordic practices through a unique lens of gender identity. They see witchcraft as a way to break out of expectations, and live outside of society. They are in training with Kari Tauring, a modern-day völva, and Johannes Gårdbäck, a Trollkunning and professional folk magician. Siri teaches about the runes, tarot, and witchcraft.
This conversation is not surface layer! There's some really interesting inquisitive questions like:
How to reconsider witchcraft
How to broaden our scope of what witchcraft is
How to find your own path
What it means to be a magician
We also have a really interesting conversation about what it means to be a witch and claiming that term and being in relationship to that term, but also understanding that there are other ways to engage with magic without necessarily being a witch
This is just a really rich conversation. Also a witch after our own heart, they give us an entire list of really incredible books, so at the end you can grab your pen to jot down these amazing books.

Juliana Wexler was raised in San Diego by two psychologists trying to understand her every move. Always fascinated by how systems work, she folded a pre-med education into her own customized major that evaluated the disparities and inequities in the U.S. healthcare system. Professionally, her 20s took her to Manhattan, where she worked her way up and out of various healthcare startups. Personally, her 20s were a time of trying to fit into a mold of a person that she desperately wanted to be.
However, at 30, she realized all the ways the people and systems around her, paired with her own limiting beliefs, kept her small and confined. Suddenly divorced at 30, she found herself deeply questioning every aspect of her life. It was through the dismantling of all aspects of the life she had previously built that she began the process of coming home to herself.
She is the founder of Parama, where she guides individuals and companies in compassionate navigation of transitions, difficult conversations, and negotiations. She helps foster improved communication and the building of reciprocal relationships with her “Conscious Confrontation” method.
Juliana is a fantastic storyteller! She takes us through her 20s and her marriage and divorce and the journey through making your life "look right" to making it "feel right" Some things we discuss:
- Divorce at an early age and the stigma around divorce
- Saturn Return
- Transmuting Pain into purpose
- Cultivating your own sense of self-worth; the darkness in the period of any transformation (death & rebirth)

Without an agenda, the most alive, honest, and relatable conversations can happen. Eva had been on Kajal’s podcast and knew she would be a wonderful guest on Hello Universe, and Kyley and Eva are thrilled to bring you this soulful, authentic, discussion.
Life is magical – we are always being helped and supported and guided.
Kajal is an explorer of consciousness as she authors the metaphorical book about her greatest experience, being human. She is passionate about sharing her findings, insights and wisdom to support humanity to come home to themselves. She is both intuitive and practical as she bridges the cosmos to Earth, mixing spirituality and psychology. Above all Kajal is a mirror for those who are truly ready to see, know and be clear in who they are. She calls this process coming home.
She gives us some backstory - her traumatic childhood and uprooting leads her to realizing God always had her back and after a “hands and knees moment” made her realize she could keep going and discover her purpose while healing from all she had gone through in her early life.
But it wasn’t that easy! She said it actually got worse – and she was given the opportunity to come into a place of sovereignty inside herself. She felt so powerless and so broken and abandoned by family and God, and felt so alone and now had to go through this homecoming.
We discuss victim consciousness and how coming to terms with being a victim was key in cracking open the the prison she had in her mind.
She shared some 3D examples of how she took back her power:
- Begin to form a relationship with a higher power
- Set a clear intention of what you are seeking
- Observe and notice what is showing up in your reality because you are constantly being shown what you need
Kajal shares with us how she's stepped back from social media for a month. She wasn't being clear in who she wanted to be and she was feeling invaded by how she was "supposed" to be taking pictures and video clips for social media, and that was ruining the joy she finds in taking photos and videos.

Kyley and Eva talk about social media (womp womp) and it’s human-ness, its huge value and place in our lives even with ups of connection and community, and downs with comparison-it is and endless 2 am scrolling.
We talk about:
-
Stepping back from social media for the summer, finding new platforms and creative outlets that feel right, but still battling the balance and time spent.
-
The echo chamber of content and showing up as yourself and being embodied, instead of having to be an expert.
-
Figuring out how to surrender to attachment and also owning and stepping into your power and how that is the alchemy that ultimately attracts people to you.
-
stop arranging chairs on the Titanic and get out there and do things a whole other way – and by doing that you get to show others how to do it too
In the end, we both speculate the future of social media, how well the algorithm knows them, and Eva feels good about consuming social media but not so much about making it, and Kyley is looking to unhook from the consumption, and the approval of the content she creates.
To work with Eva – her program Flow, about healing your relationship with productivity will be up and running in the future, and for now you can work with her 1:1 and she’s really been having so much fun working with consciousness expansion. If you feel like during your spiritual expansion/awakening you’re a little untethered while cracking opening and find yourself in a weird and vulnerable place, let Eva be your guide through that place. You can email her, message her on Instagram, or find her on her website.
To work with Kyley – She has an exciting idea about Akashic spellwork – come to her with the thing you would like to manifest or resolve, and she will put together a spell and also go into your Akashic records and channel messages and do healing – she will send you the information. Send her a DM – Facebook or Instagram. She’s going to do 3.

Amy Robbins-Wilson is an author, singer, and performs Angelsong Circles, meditative concerts and sessions for those seeking healing and a restored sense of peace in the world. We discussed:
- Spirituality as constant listening, turning your wounds into blessings, and ritual
- The importance of tuning into your body, the messages our body sends us, and the disconnect so many of us feel with our bodies
- Amy's journey with song and spirituality, the process of developing her sacred healing performances called AngelSong, and a period of losing her voice just as she discovered this unique healing modality
- Amy's touchstone transcendent moment, as a high school senior singing the national anthem
- The journey of motherhood, postpartum depression, and spiritual expansion
"At the core of our being, we're all just vibrations. Everything is moving, and that's what gives us form. Whenever you're singing or listening to music, the vibration of the music is affecting your vibration. Music is inherently healing, and I think we all know that."
-Amy Robbins-Wilson
"When we approach motherhood as a job we put ourselves at the service of our children. If approached as a spiritual practice, we see it as a journey of mutual benefit. It becomes an adventure to be embarked upon with great anticipation, a pilgrimage of the soul. We emerge transformed."
-Amy Robbins-Wilson
"For me, channeling feels like spaciousness in my heart and in my body. And it's also how I feel when I'm putting my kids to sleep. Or when I'm doing things that make me feel present. That's the same feeling when I channel. So I think it's just variations on a scale. "
-Kyley Caldwell
"Kids love to sing and it helped me through my postpartum anxiety, just to be able to sing. When you sing, you naturally fall into a deeper breathing rhythm. And they're silly songs, you know? It's hard to be sad when you're singing the poopy dance."

Joy Manning is a podcaster and writer focused on food and health. She is a self-described enthusiastic sober person and closet mystic. She shared her journey with us in this episode, including:
- The spiritual practices that help Joy, including a daily practice of reading, writing, prayer (speaking to the divine), meditation (listening), and exercise (energy medicine)
- Joy's journey from a spiritual child, to feeling a disconnection to the universe, to a profound spiritual breakthrough
- The deep relationship between Joy's sobriety and spiritual journey

- The authentically joyful experiences that have been available without alcohol, and how those moments feel deeply spiritual
- Joy's experience with Kundalini Yoga, and the personal power of that meditation practice
"I was done drinking, and it was a huge relief. Since then I have felt far more in tune with a sense of my spirit, other peoples spirit, god, the universe. It's just been an avalanche of insights and internal changes in myself." - Joy Manning
"It's so obvious to me now how alcohol can be a wet blanket on any kind of spirituality that you might wish to have. And I actually think alcohol can even blunt the awareness that you would wish for something like that." - Joy Manning
"Alcohol and wine is [sold] as self care. And in my experience, it was numbing and was worsening my anxiety, so it was the opposite of self care for me." -Kyley Caldwell
"The thing I try to tell people is that I thought nothing would be fun without alcohol. What I didn't understand is that everything would be fun without alcohol and it would be more fun and it would be real fun." - Joy Manning

And so it’s about, for me, listening to my intuition. And listening to that voice that tis sometimes a little quiet and sometimes a little nagging. And I try to always listen to that. And yes, people thought I was absolutely insane…but I just felt like I needed to continue to evolve as an artist, a business person, as a spiritual being living on this planet.”

“We’re in this period where a lot of people are alone right now. Or they are surrounded by immediate family at all times. Which, again, magnifies everything. It magnifies all your stuff. Because it is uncomfortable…and we don’t like uncomfortable. Well, what if you just sit, just sit in it. And not only just sit in it, but welcome it. If you can welcome it, if you can allow it to become a part of you.”

You are not required to be productive to be loved. You are not required to be productive to be loved. You are not required to be productive, full stop.

Kathy Frankel is a long time meditator. In this episode we have a grounded and meaningful discussion on how meditation has transformed Kathy’s life:
- Spirituality as determining the kindest, clearest, most ethical course of action
- Kathy’s origin story— finding meditation on retreat and the transformational power of that experience
- Experiencing for yourself as a source of truth
- The awareness and healing power of finally seeing the patterns of our own mind, or monkey mind, as uncomfortable as that may be
- When the student is ready, the teacher arises — doing the internal work making us ready for the teacher or resource we need
- Depression as a numbing, a not-feeling, and how meditation helped Kathy when other means did not
- Kathy’s commitment to activism and protest work, and how meditation keeps her grounded when things feel upside down
“For one thing, I don’t feel depressed anymore, because I realized that for me, depression was just a cover of things I as actually feeling, but didn’t want to admit.”
— Kathy Frankel
“Mine was emotional depression, not chemical depression. More like a black cloud. Once I realized I could watch my mind, when I could see the patterns of the mind, they weren’t always pleasant to see, but I wasn’t hiding from it anymore. So the depression was gone. If I hadn’t done meditation, I don’t think it would have gone away.”
— Kathy Frankel
“I’m trying to find a way to maintain compassion and kindness for people who don’t believe the way I do, yet at the same time, point out that this is not right. I think it’s one of the most important parts of my practice right now. ”
