After a series of random & abrupt endings occurring in her personal life, Angela Aquara ends up across the country in her van. We see every step of the journey, from her thinking about completely uprooting her life and the process of her doing it. There's tears, there's laughter, and everything in between. Everything taboo and unconventional. We dive into her psychedelic medicine journeys as well. It's just real life sh*t at the end of the day. Welcome to DaPoddy :)
Thank you for following along!
I ended up experiencing a period of depression during my vanlife travels- unrelated to my direct experience in the van. However, during that time I got myself into a tricky situation with another van lifer who claimed to be an energy healer. He was not upfront about his underlaying sexual desires and intent when he offered me an energy work session. I talk about how I handled it. Then directly after, I searched for a shower and ended up getting yelled at by an angry old man at an RV park. That was a very, very strange night.

Whip-it's, Booze, and Coke - Oh My! | Another Solo Festival Experience
Hello! In this episode, I talk about my recent festival experience. And in moments, about my encounters with people whose main source of indulgence was nitrous, booze, and coke… and my observations from that. I talk about how I make friends despite being an introvert, how I got introduced to alternative substances, and lessons around getting out of my comfort zone. Hope you enjoy this episode with an open mind! And know, I condone none of the substances I talked about xx take self responsibility! 🫵 Love you!

A Homeless Man Gave Me His Quarters [RE-UPLOADED]
The title says it all. A homeless man gives me money the day of this episode. Which brings about huge realizations to a 23 year old midwestern girl who’s just starting to explore the world. Some of which may seem like a no brainer to folks in certain parts of the world, but shook me awake, being someone who’s had little exposure to large homeless populations. These realizations made me notice the areas where I was holding judgements unconsciously. This experience opens my mind deeply and brings awareness to my own greed. After the story-time, I give an update on my journey of meeting people and exploring new towns. I start to get exhausted from treating my new lifestyle as a vacation and realize I need to take time to nourish myself as well.

I Moved Across the Country Alone in a Van.
I did it. I moved away from everything I’ve ever known. I made the leap on a dream I’ve had in my heart for a while. I feel happy and excited overall, but in this episode I show the real side of being absolutely terrified. I cry often. I talk about navigating going to events solo and the epiphanies I had after doing so. And being fearful of what it’s going to be like truly on my own, after the friends I came to visit return home. Also, it’s me embracing the almighty sloth as my new spirit guide. Travel is not all sunshine and rainbows. Sometimes it’s crawling on the floor of your van bawling your eyes out in terror and heart ache :)

Magic Mushrooms, Great P*ssy, and Finding My Inner Child
I sit in ceremony with different plant medicines two weekends in a row. The most recent being a sound ceremony involving magic mushrooms and MDMA. After releasing deep, heavy bodily trauma the weekend before, this ceremony was a powerful experience of finding the little girl in my body who was hiding behind it all. I talk about reconnecting with this deeply lost part of myself and fully connecting with my yoni (p*ssy) and the mother energy of p*ssy as a spirit.
