    The book that changed everything - The Great Cosmic Mother

    In this episode of Curious B, I speak with Cassandra Faye Floyd after discovering her through her 35-hour reading of The Great Cosmic Mother. This conversation explores science vs spirituality, feminine power, patriarchy, and the deeper systems shaping human experience.The Great Cosmic Mother presents an alternative view of human evolution, tracing ideas from the “mother cell” through to modern society and what is often referred to as the “matrix” or patriarchal system. I had heard these concepts before, but this book helped me understand them in a more connected and embodied way. In this episode we explore: • Feminine energy and rites of passage • Spiritual awakening and personal sovereignty • Science, spirituality, and ancient wisdom • How modern systems impact human consciousness • Reclaiming intuition, rest, and inner knowing This is a deep, thought-provoking conversation about remembering who we are beneath conditioning and noise. If you are interested in spirituality, conscious living, feminine wisdom, or questioning the systems we live in, this episode is for you.

    Part 2: What happened to our Men – The nervous system, trauma & the crayfish analogy

    This is the conversation after the red stop button — the part that was too important not to share. In this raw and illuminating Part 2, Matt Castle returns to unpack what we didn’t get to in Part 1 — namely, the trauma that's been drip-fed through systems, media, and relationships, and how it’s scrambling our nervous systems like the antennae of a crayfish sensing danger. We dive into: What trauma really is and how it embeds in the nervous system The crayfish analogy — and how our antennas (nervous systems) are constantly scanning for threat Emotional restoration, separation, and what’s happening to polarity between men and women The role of media, early childhood, and even Disney in unconscious trauma programming Why many women are describing what they want in a man... but it actually sounds like a woman How men are becoming more feminine, and women more masculine — and what that does to attraction And the question: Is it actually your partner causing the trauma? Or is it something much bigger? We’re in the trenches. And yet, as Matt so beautifully puts it — we need each other, we need to talk, and we need to stop firing at our own. This is real, messy, and deeply human. Let’s talk about it. 👇 Find Matt & links mentioned in the episode below.
