Why We Need An Intimacy With Grief
<p>In this episode, I sit down with Paula Gasparini-Santos, a Portugal-based author, artist, and trauma therapist whose work explores grief through the lens of impermanence. We dive into how her experience working in prisons and domestic violence centers shaped the foundation, and evolution, of her theory on grief today. A theory I believe could impact the world.</p><p>Nothing is off limits in this conversation. We explore the great unknown, curiosity, surrender, spirituality, love, and what it means to move through and truly understand grief. We also touch on creation, embodiment, and the lessons Paula has gathered through her travels and research.</p><p>With profound insight and grounded wisdom, Paula offers a perspective that invites us to live more fully—arms open to the mystery.</p><p>To follow more of Paula's work connect with her on Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/paulagdos/?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">@paulagdos</a> , or check out her website: <a href="https://www.theconsciousconnection.org/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">www.theconsciousconnection.org</a> for more information on her upcoming book and ways to work with her.</p>

Why We Look to the Stars for Answers: Astrology ft. Taylor Mackenzie
<p>In this episode, I sit down with astrologer Taylor Mackenzie, who I first met at a music festival over a year ago. Taylor helps guide people back to remembrance through the teachings of the stars and the wisdom of the body. Together, we explore the deeper “why” behind astrology—why so many of us look to the stars for guidance, where to begin if you’re curious about your own chart, and how astrology can be a tool for reconnecting with ourselves and alchemizing our struggles into our own superpowers. Taylor shares insights, practical starting points, and timeless wisdom that goes far beyond a daily horoscope.</p>

Why We Share ft. Joe Bjornsen
<p>In this episode, I sit down with my friend Joe Bjornsen — the guy who, along with his friend Noah, handed me the keys to their old shuttle bus and unknowingly changed the course of my life. We dive into the full story of how that wild act of generosity came to be, and the ripple effects it's had since. From there, we open up a much bigger conversation around sharing — from prehistoric communism to sharing space in relationships (yep, we get into non-monogamy), to how it shows up in the financial world with things like cryptocurrency. This one's a thoughtful, curious, and at times hilarious journey into what it means to live in a world where "mine" and "yours" might not be so separate after all. </p>
