Impostors Anonymous Podcast

Impostors Anonymous is an exploration of where conversation leads when we attempt to leave our identities at the door. This project aims to limit the audience's ability to be misguided by preconceived notions and labels, allowing for a focus on direct experience and the character of content. While any topic is on the table from any perspective, common themes will include consciousness, mitigating human suffering, and the unraveling of our group and internal identities.

    Long Time No See - Introducing "The Daily Interlude"

    After a several-month break, this release introduces my new podcast, The Daily Interlude. This project offers a brief, regular, and intimate opportunity to gain a clearer awareness of the stories, judgments, and illusions that often covertly obscure the true nature of our daily lives. Join me, each weekday, in an informal exploration of the human experience and the value of sharing a habitual practice of more precise attention. This episode features the trailer of the new project, but you can check out the full show here or wherever you listen to podcasts. Don't forget to subscribe!
