The polarized political climate is tearing us apart—friendships, families, and communities caught in a cycle of blame, outrage, and dehumanization. In this episode, we dive into the emotional and psychological toll of living in a divided world and ask: Is there a way out?

Spoiler: Yes, but it starts with radical empathy, honest dialogue, and a willingness to listen beyond the noise.

We explore how to hold strong values without falling into hate, and how healing the collective begins with healing ourselves. Tune in for a grounded, hopeful conversation on bridging the divide—without losing your soul.

I highly recommend watching the documentary, "The Bibi Files" https://www.jolt.film/watch/the-bibi-files

I also recommend the movie, "Nixon." Lots of parallels to the current state of affairs. It's streaming on multiple platforms.

You'll leave with practical, compassionate steps you can take TODAY to build more human connections and create a deeper sense of belonging, starting from within.

Ever listened to a spiritual influencer and thought, “Wait... what did they actually just say?” You might’ve encountered word salad—vague, mystical-sounding language that sounds deep but means nothing.

In this episode of the Perfect Priestess podcast, we’re exposing the dark side of spiritual spaces: where narcissism hides behind “high vibes” and manipulation is masked as enlightenment. From gaslighting in the name of growth to performative “authenticity,” we’re unpacking how some influencers use spirituality as a tool for control, not healing. If you’ve ever felt confused, shamed, or subtly pressured in spiritual communities—this one's for you.

The goddess movement? It might not be as empowering as it seems.

In Toxic Femininity II, I'm busting myths and calling out the sparkly spiritual fluff that’s keeping women stuck. You’re not a goddess—and that’s a good thing.

Trying to embody an idealized archetype can distract you from healing your emotional wounds and becoming your most grounded, loving, powerful human self.

And that whole #f*ckthepatriarchy rage? It's feeding the very system you want to dismantle.

Tune in for a bold, honest convo about real empowerment, personal responsibility, and how to rise without bypassing reality.

This is my most vulnerable podcast. I’m telling the truth about wearing a mask for 17 years. The truth is that I’ve had a horrible chronic illness that’s made almost every single day of these last seventeen years a struggle. There have been many days I’ve felt half dead and many days I’ve wished for death. I’ve been wearing a mask of “normalcy” just to get through each day.

Most days there are many things I cannot do, no matter how badly I want to do them. It took 17 years, DOZENS of doctors and tens of thousands of dollars to learn that I have Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) - a serious, chronic, systemic disease.

Tune in to this episode to learn how I’ve been using RADICAL ACCEPTANCE to chart a course for the rest of my life.

I also share some tips and help for others experiencing the same thing, so if you know of someone who has a chronic illness, please share this episode with them!

Grab your headphones as we rewind to the ‘90s covering my 30 years as an IT industry insider, when the tech motto “move fast and break things” smashed something priceless: emotional intelligence (EQ).

Nerd culture ruled the code caves, but EQ got left in the recycle bin— and today’s tech titans are still running that outdated operating system.

From tone‑deaf algorithms to dangerous Mars-orbit egos, I unpack how empathy’s software patch was never installed, why shareholder value eclipsed social value, and how a little heart could’ve eliminated a lot of social destruction. Tune in to learn how the tech bros slowly took over the world and what you can do to save yourself, your cyber-security and your (and your family’s) mental and emotional health.

Buckle-in for this no-holds-barred podcast serving up hot takes on how America got fat, sick, and pharma-fed.

It all started with a government committee in 1976 pushing bogus nutrition guidelines, greased by corporate interests. Fast forward to today: we’re jabbing ourselves with GLP-1s and wondering what went wrong.

Spoiler: Big Food made us hungry, Big Pharma wants us hooked, and it’s all about fattening wallets to make people fake-skinny. I’m slicing through the lies with a sharp fork and a truth-knife. If you’re ready to rethink everything you’ve been fed—this one’s for you.
