Alive From The Underworld

About Alive From The Underworld

There are thresholds we cross in our lives. The moments of death of one thing that bleeds into the birth of another. This podcast is a fire. Not a polished stage, not a resolution. A fire. The kind our ancestors gathered around when the night was too big to face alone, or when our depths were so deep we feared we'd fall into the void of them and never return. Here, I speak from inside the journey. Unfinished. Unresolved. Alive in the full complexity of it. At moments, lost among the vastness of possibility and what could be. We go where most conversations won't. Into the taboo, the veiled, the edges we don't usually name out loud. Grief. Rupture. Transformation in its most disorienting form. The thresholds that split a life into before and after. Fierce voices and soft ones are welcome here, because when we cross certain thresholds, different intonations of ourselves are beckoned from our depths. I have sat with people who carry all of it, and what I know is this: the most alive conversations happen at the edge, not the resolution. This is a place of remembrance. You do not have to be perfectly curated in your healing, in your life, or in yourself. You are allowed, in all your complexity, your rawness, your humanness, to be exactly as you are. You are never alone in that. Even when you are so utterly alone.

   Embracing Imperfection & Our Own Inner Darkness with Cole Chance

   Most of us spend our lives clinging to what we think is solid ground, but the truth is, true growth begins at the edge of our comfort zone — on the ledge of chaos, where everything familiar dissolves. In this profound conversation, I sit with Cole Chance to explore what it really means to live alive from the underworld — the raw, wild, uncharted space where transformation happens. Brace yourself for a journey into the depths of vulnerability, desire, and the power of embracing our shadowy, messy parts. You'll discover how the most pivotal thresholds—pregnancy, addiction, heartbreak—morphed Cole’s sense of self and sparked her fierce, creative voice. We break down how life's greatest initiations demand a willingness to surrender, to fall into the void, and to trust that death is necessary for fertile new beginnings. Cole reveals her radical insights on the intelligence of our protective parts, the wild beauty of our rebellious edges, and the profound importance of honoring the natural cycles of pause and fallow—those sacred times of gestation when nothing seems to be happening, yet everything is happening beneath the surface. This episode uncovers the subtle art of boundary-setting, the wisdom hidden in our no’s and yes’s, and the courage to let relationships evolve or dissolve without shame. We explore the unseen archetypes that shape our tendencies to cling or push away, and how conscious relational overlap—like in dance or intimacy—can serve as a mirror for life's essential shifts. Cole and I delve into the importance of re-educating ourselves around departure, the myth of the 'perfect' connection, and why letting go — softly, with grace — is one of the bravest acts of love. Cole Chance is a yoga teacher, retreat leader, recovery educator, and lifelong student of what it means to be human. Through movement, breathwork, story, and inquiry, she explores the intersection of somatics, mythology, neuroscience, and embodied living. She is the founder of EMERGE and co-creator of The Mindfulish School, and leads retreats, trainings, and online programs that invite people home to themselves, within the wider world.

   From The Medical System to The Jungle with Isabel Allen

   Most people are afraid to face the void — but that's where true transformation begins. When Isabel Allen stepped into the dark depths of her own disintegration, she discovered a new realm of aliveness, sovereignty, and cosmic wholeness. Now, she guides others through the chaos of loss, identity dissolution, and initiation into their truest selves. This episode reveals how to turn darkness into the birth of a radiant interior revolution. Isabel shares her journey from the Western care system's burnout to sacred ceremonies in Peru, and Mexico that reconnected her with her ancestral roots and the mystery of life. You’ll discover how rites of passage—through plant medicine, community, and nature—are essential for true healing and wholeness, especially in a society that prizes comfort over transformation. Isabel’s story illustrates why rushing through spiritual awakening or retreating after mystical encounters can fragment your soul rather than unify it, and what real integration looks like. We break down profound insights like the importance of community in witnessing your disintegration, the power of surrendering control, and how to cultivate trust when the ego crumbles. Isabel explores how ancestral trauma, colonization, and the disconnection from natural cycles reinforce our fear of the void—and how facing that fear unlocks the treasures of intuition, sovereignty, and authentic love. Whether you’re in the middle of a crisis or simply yearning for deeper presence, Isabel’s wisdom invites you to surrender into life’s mystery and emerge renewed, radiant, and rooted in your innermost truth. Guest: Isabel Allen is a sacred mentor, somatic coach, and plant medicine facilitator rooted in ancestral wisdom and community healing. Her work helps individuals embody their sovereignty through rites of passage in nature and ceremony, bridging Western science with ancient practices.

    The Seduction of Fear & The Path To Love

    In this episode, I descend into one of the most intimate and universal forces threading through every human life — fear. Speaking not from the safety of solid ground but from inside the collective free fall of our current moment, I trace the quiet and insidious ways that fear seduces us. From the hypervigilance living in our nervous systems to the stockpiling of resources, the doomscrolling, the transactional relationships, the addiction to comfort and certainty, I name the many faces fear wears in our bodies, our choices, and our culture. I hold this reckoning with a piercing tenderness, reminding us that the systems collapsing around us are simply the outer reflection of the systems we have long carried within us. And yet within this episode is an unwavering belief in love. The most grounded, fierce, and radical force available to us in this time of great unraveling. Love as presence. Love as breath. Love as the conscious choice to stop being ruled by lack, by scarcity, by the endless fuel fear is so willing to provide.

    Living In A Post Modern Threshold

    Alive from the Underworld | Episode 1 Living In A Post Modern Threshold This is not a podcast from the other side. I am not speaking to you from some place of arrival. I am speaking from inside it, from within the chrysalis, where the old form has already dissolved and the new one hasn't yet taken shape. This is what it means to be alive in the underworld. Not dead. Not lost. Alive, which is in some ways the harder thing. To be conscious inside the dissolution. Postmodernity did its necessary work. It dismantled the grand narratives, exposed the machinery behind the curtain, pulled apart the gods we had built from ideology, institution and inherited belief. It told us nothing was fixed, nothing was neutral, everything was constructed. And it was right. But deconstruction is not a destination. It is a demolition. And we are now living in the rubble. That is the particular weight of this moment. Not just personal unravelling. Collective freefall. The chrysalis is not comfortable. It is the place where what you were can no longer sustain you, and what you are becoming has not yet arrived. So this first episode offers no answers but questions. The kind that ask you to stop and look. To feel into what is actually guiding you, persuading you, possibly controlling you, beneath the noise of this fractured, post-everything moment. This series begins here. Alive. Inside the chrysalis. Asking for what wants to be born.
