Conversations with different individuals from different schools and walks of life discussing everything from psychology to art to spirituality to design to health and well-being, to relationships (whether they be romantic or colleagueship or parent with children relationships). Alanis will dive into science, neurobiology, music, travel, social commentary, maybe a tiny bit of political, and feminism (which Alanis likes to call "the Feminine Movement in both Males and Females Alike") the conversations will touch on topics that move the guest and Alanis herself toward philosophizing in real time, as well as illuminate any teachings, ideas and models already established.

Customer Reviews
Inspiring
These podcasts are sooo interesting and I’ve really enjoyed listening to them, having previously read some of the books written by some of the guest speakers. Alanis Morisette is very honest and I love the humour she brings to the topics. I’ve learnt a lot from these podcasts. I’ve been very moved by some of the conversation and humility shown. I’ve finally listened to them all and look forward to any future conversations. Highly recommend for anyone who’s willing to look within.
Reading some of the harsh recent reviews 😕, I think some people have forgot that this an in conversation. Ie two people talking in conversation
Excellent
I’ve only just discovered this podcast and love it. Alanis is a brilliant interviewer and covers such interesting topics. I really enjoyed the HSP episode, being one myself. Thank you
Too interruptive
I find the guests being too interrupted. It’s great that Alanis wants to learn and share (ALL) her thoughts but she interrupts the interviewees way too much and it makes it very difficult to follow!
Either just make this just your show or let the guests share their knowledge please!
