Who Else Is in Our Cosmic Neighborhood? (Avi Loeb, PhD)

“I think that we are most likely to benefit from such an encounter than to suffer from it,” says physicist Avi Loeb, PhD, who describes himself as an optimist in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence. Today, Loeb shares: What astronomy and dating have in common. His theories on the three interstellar objects that have been observed (including 3I/ATLAS). Why it’s likely that other intelligent civilizations exist. And why he thinks it would be wonderful to meet them—and imperative for the future of human beings that we do so.

How to Matter—To Yourself and Others (Jennifer B. Wallace)

Journalist and bestselling author Jennifer B. Wallace shares the key ingredients to feeling like you matter, and to making others feel like they matter, too. She covers my favorite stories and stats from her new book Mattering, along with the practical tools, habits, and practices she leans on in her own life. We talk about the importance of putting a bow on things; how we can use the mattering lens to approach life transitions; the benefits of ego extension; and something called “the beautiful mess effect.” Wallace also shares how she’s approached what might be the hardest but most profound part of this, which is figuring out: How do I matter to myself?

How Spiral Dynamics Can Help Us Respond Right Now (Monthly Solo)

In this month’s solo episode, I’m sharing more about the model of developmental psychology that I’m finding incredibly useful right now: Spiral Dynamics. As a framework, I think it can help us understand our world and culture better—and it can guide us in the best, and most effective ways to respond to it. If you want to go deeper into Spiral Dynamics, there is a ton more for you in the show notes on my Substack. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Can You Own a Choice Around Money That Feels Good to You? (Tori Dunlap)

Tori Dunlap is the author of Financial Feminist and the host of the podcast of the same name. She has a very compelling way of helping women to effectively approach (and earn) money, while addressing underlying emotions, traumas, triggers, and stories. I think you’ll find her advice helpful if: You’ve ever been told, or thought, that you’re bad with money. You feel like you need to justify any spending or any earning. You feel like you have no control over your money (or your partner handles all the finances). You’d love to switch from a scarcity mindset to an abundance mindset. Or, you can deduce what the ostrich effect is, and you want to know how to combat it. For the show notes, head to my Substack.

How to Grow Your Soul (Michael Meade)

Michael Meade is a groundbreaking storyteller, author, and scholar of mythology, anthropology, and psychology. He blew my mind with a historical gem that he shared in this conversation. I was also moved by his perspective on our “crisis of masculinity” and the manosphere, what might be the antidote to monoculture, and why the hero’s journey is a bit of a fallacy. And, even more so, his case and how-to for each of us, individually, to grow our own soul. For the show notes, head to my Substack. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This podcast episode featuring Elise Loehnen and Prentis Hemphill delves into profound topics of personal transformation, healing, and human connection. Here's a brief review: The conversation explores several key themes: 1. **Embodied transformation**: Prentis emphasizes the importance of articulating personal visions and responding to inner longings as a path to genuine transformation. 2. **Disconnection from desires**: They discuss how early experiences can lead to losing touch with our true desires, often as a survival mechanism. 3. **Habitual responses**: The dialogue highlights how we develop automatic physical and emotional responses that can hinder authentic connections. 4. **Fear and vulnerability**: The role of fear in suppressing emotions and the challenge of allowing vulnerability are examined. 5. **Conflict as opportunity**: Prentis presents a unique perspective on conflict as a potential source of growth and learning. 6. **Self-reflection and practice**: The importance of regular self-reflection and embodied practice in personal growth is stressed. 7. **Collective healing**: The conversation concludes with a call for collective spaces where people can experience and process emotions together. This thought-provoking discussion offers valuable insights into personal growth, relationships, and societal transformation. It challenges listeners to examine their own patterns and consider new approaches to conflict and connection.

some episodes especially those with really good and critically minded guests allow room to dive deeper into a critical understanding of cultural, political, social and economic realities. a lot of others are just ending in superficial analysis reminiscent of liberal girlboss culture allowing neoliberal logic to find a gendered lens (yay women can become war mongeres too! hurray! - i am over exaggerating but i am just trying to bring a point across). the narrative mirrors americans pseudo-intellectuals upholding the Western lack of understanding power on a root level. in this sense, being „a woman“ is unfortunately not something that is the most detrimental thing that can happen to you. beyond, the idea of america reproducing high power women who are assimilating patriarchal violence, and suggesting that this is legitimate is at best ignorant and at worse simply uneducated. white women really make it easy for themselves. but again the weakest link in allowing for real change and responsibility in where we are going in this world.
