    clock into your internal world please

    Ok, hold on tight because in this episode we’re getting intimate with this sometimes strange concept of ‘doing the work’! Examining through various lenses including philosophy, personal growth & astrology (naturally).    Posing the question - how profound can our daily routines and disciplined efforts be in our lives? We’re getting juicy as we delve into philosophies like Carl Jung’s shadow work, Brene Brown and more!   Dipping into vibes of the Sixth and Tenth Houses in astrology we reflect on how these houses are all about mastering yourself, giving back, and shining in the public eye. We’ll chat about how to juggle your everyday tasks while staying true to your bigger goals, shake off old biases, and break free from what society expects. It’s all about boosting self-awareness and making real, meaningful changes in your life!

    Unpaid interning in my mental prison

    I love being a statistic. Mindfulness and routines are actually working for me. As in, I don’t wake up with a pit in my chestgood  and a looming sense of Iike that later is validated by the horror’s on my timeline.  Who knew that structure can equal freedom, they should teach us this in school , or maybe they did & I wasn’t listening! I’m chatting about some of the things that make up my regular routines, yoga, massages, and morning pages. I’ll break down the sticky, tricky world of discipline and how those vexatious thought loops can hold us back. I’ll also share some thoughts on why traditional talk therapy might not tackle the bigger picture. With a sprinkle of wisdom from the Gita and my counselling studies, I’ll talk about syncing your values with your actions, consciously uncoupling from overthinking, and making choices that help you grow. As always, astrology is linked to EVERYTHING so you can hear all about how the sixth house connects to this discussion. This episode really has it all, listen immediately!

    I'm using needles to restore my energy

    In this episode of the No Deep Dives podcast, I’m excavating my brain to discuss themes such as community, cisheteropatriarchy, and the concept of ideas as relationships. I like to personify my thoughts to understand them so I’m delving into how attention, focus, and creating mental space influence creativity. Plus I'll share my experiences with acupuncture, yin-yang energy balance, and the significance of integrating mind, body, and spirit for holistic well-being. As I think about my path to avoid burnout, let me stress the need for practical self-care and the importance of sharing knowledge to evolve and regulate emotions collectively. We'll wrap things up with a call for engagement, somatic suggestions, and an invitation to keep the conversation going - yes I'm talking to YOU!!   TIMESTAMPS 00:00 hello sweetie pies 01:09 the art of personifying ideas to understand them 08:08 you won't believe how I'm draining my yang energy 13:57 what my body trying to tell me uncovered through acupuncture and somatic practices 20:01 if you're thinking too much in meditation you're not meditating 26:15 please don't burn out 33:36 bye, mwah

    027: existential jackpot at the airport (ikigai)

    In this episode of No Deep Dives, I’m getting into Ikigai, the Japanese philosophy about finding your life’s purpose. Honestly, at first, I thought it was one of those buzzwords you'd find in an airport bookstore and kept it moving. But once I actually started applying it to my life, things started to click. I’m breaking down the four key areas of Ikigai: what you love, what you're good at, what the world needs, and what you can get paid for—because we love a good paycheck! Along the way, I’ll chat about why multitasking is a myth, how social media is wrecking our attention spans, and why doing things that take actual brainpower matters. Expect my usual mix of personal stories, some astrology realness, and wellness hacks like acupuncture and journaling. If you're looking for a holistic chat on finding your purpose (without the fluff), this is for you.

    026: How do you outsmart passive aggression?

    WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON!!! I'm tempted to say it's because Mars moved out of witty and superficial Gemini, into sensitive and self protective Cancer. This episode brings me to the eternal question: does passive aggression ever get the job done? From a surreal confrontation with strangers demanding silence by the river to deep dives into emotional intelligence, we’re exploring how our demons often sneak up on us sideways. Is passive aggression a form of self-protection, or just emotional avoidance? And how does the astrological vibe of Mars in Cancer intensify this sneaky behavior? Along the way, I reflect on lessons from yoga, breathwork, and astrology, as we unpack how to turn our emotional triggers into conscious action instead of passive stand-offs. Plus, we explore philosophical insights from the Bhagavad Gita and how it challenges us to reflect on the deeper distinction between self-awareness and self-knowledge. We also break down how over-intellectualizing our emotions can lead to dissociation, particularly during yoga and other mindfulness practices. We’re drawing from ancient philosophy, yoga insights, and that cosmic question, “Is it better to speak or to die?” Tune in for a mix of wit, wisdom, and just the right amount of chaos.

    025: What if you're wrong about you? feat. Jordan Stacey

    AHHH! WE HAVE DONE IT AGAIN. Genius insights, but this time with philosopher and TikTok creator Jordan Stacey (@jordstac). Despite battling a scratchy throat, we explore Jordan's fascinating journey from science enthusiast to spiritual seeker and unpack how those two worlds collide in unexpected ways. We discuss the dichotomy between nakedness and mess when revealing our vulnerabilities and reflect on how dreams can be a tool for subconscious processing. Together, we critique the limitations of short-form content in building genuine empathy, diving into how the internet's binary narratives fall short of replicating the depth of real-life interactions. 🪐 How studying science ironically led to a spiritual awakening 🪐 The tug-of-war between creativity and aesthetics 🪐 Why dreams might hold the key to subconscious processing 🪐 The anxiety trap of constantly evolving your self-concept 🪐 The struggle between leading with your nakedness vs. your mess 🪐 How short-form content might be killing real empathy 🪐 Why real-world chaos beats curated online peace We emphasize the importance of embracing chaos and unpredictability in a world obsessed with curated peace. Tap in for a conversation that’s full of sharp insights, deep laughs, and more questions than answers. Rate five stars—don’t make me ask twice! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Miss you!

    024: Blink Twice if i'm in danger 👀

    In this episode, I dive into the shifting nature of time and how novelty (or lack thereof) impacts our perception of it. From the thrill of trying new things and expanding life’s horizons, to the monotony of routine that makes the days blur together, we explore how to break free of that Groundhog Day feeling. I also touch on the double-edged sword of celebrity gossip, over-empathizing with Bruno Mars, and the wild ride of Blink Twice, Zoe Kravitz’s unsettling new film. Plus, I reflect on the subtle manipulation tactics in wellness spaces that can disarm even the most self-aware among us. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Miss you!   TIMESTAMPS 00:00 hi sweetie pie 01:08 slutty for yerba mate 03:42 time perception paradox 06:58 celeb culture monsense 10:00 movie review for 'blink twice' 19:07 wellness spaces and informed consent 21:25 the odd water roleplay activity 24:05 authority and consent 24:25 mama, mami and baby 26:17 cult focused 30:41 fear vs danger 37:54 false modesty and manipulation

    023: Dissociating during Yoga *dots connect*

    In this episode, I dive into the chaos of balancing life’s highs and lows—from the perfect alignment of life’s stepping stones to the draining effects of my period. We explore how I’m using my birth chart as a practical guide (not just an excuse for bad behaviour) and my revelation during an intense Iyengar yoga session in Bali about staying present with discomfort instead of dissociating.  We also explore the sneaky ways social media mimics a casino, hooking us into endless scrolling for that next dopamine hit. And then when things couldn’t get weirder, I got hit with a $1,715 jury duty fine (in a state I don’t live in)?? HELP!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Miss you!!   TIMESTAMPS 00:00 hi sweetie pie 00:40 I'm a cartographer 02:19 astrological experiments 04:48 iyengar yoga ... why did you warn me 06:50 ok feeling emotions again 14:46 digital detoxing? 17:25 analog vs virtual 21:36 always processing 34:11 see you next week
