    Episode 155 - Bob Roth Interviews Jaymee (Part 1)

    Bob Roth—legendary teacher, author, CEO of the David Lynch Foundation, and one of the most influential figures in the Transcendental Meditation movement—takes the host’s chair to explore the life and journey of Jaymee Carpenter. Over the past five decades, Bob has introduced meditation to everyone from Martin Scorsese, Oprah Winfrey, Tom Hanks, and Jonah Hill to hundreds of thousands of students around the world. Through his longtime collaboration with filmmaker David Lynch, Bob has helped bring Transcendental Meditation to more than 500,000 underserved youth across 35 countries. A longtime supporter of Jaymee’s work, Bob has expressed a desire for years to sit down and uncover the story behind the storyteller. In this special and deeply personal episode, Jaymee opens up about his life, spiritual path, struggles, inspirations, and the experiences that shaped Love Is The Author. A true role reversal—and a profound honor for your host.  Special thanks to Coulter Jacobs (CJLA) for the cover art.

    Episode 154 - Damien Echols

    Damien Echols is a bestselling American author who spent nearly half his life wrongfully imprisoned on death row as one of the West Memphis Three, documented in the three-part HBO series Paradise Lost, as well as director Amy Berg's documentary West Of Memphis. This is not a conversation about true crime... it's a conversation about how meditation, spiritual study and ritual turned his prison stay into a monastery for his spiritual awakening, leading ultimately to not only his release from prison, but one of the greatest love stories ever told, and the secret recipe for forgiveness.  LITA PODCAST: hosted, produced, and recorded by Jaymee Carpenter.  SOUND MIX: Jonah Levine OPENING SONG: Tripura Subdari by Earthtones Music & Sheela Bringi CLOSING SONG: Ocean Of Beauty by Earthtones Music & Sheela Bringi Interested in Trauma Counseling/Mentorship with Jaymee? email: lacee@loveistheauthor.com to set up a free consultation, or visit: www.loveistheauthor.com/mentorship  SPONSORS:  YERBA MADRE ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.yerbamadre.com⁠ RAUM GOODS ⁠⁠⁠⁠www.raumgoods.com⁠⁠⁠⁠ BOSSANOVA SOAP www.bossanovasoap.com⁠⁠⁠⁠ TOTALLY BLOWN ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.totallyblown.us⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ INDIAN LODGE ROAD ⁠⁠⁠⁠www.indianlodgeroad.com⁠⁠⁠⁠ THiS SHOW is a LABOR of LOVE.

    Episode 153 - Jess Damuck & John Moods

    Jess Damuck was one of Martha Stewart’s right hands in creating magazines and television shows for over a decade. She is now a creative director, food stylist, and the author of the bestselling cookbooks Salad Freak, Health Nut, and Open Wide with Benny Blanco. "Martha Stewart is my guru!" Musician John Moods is a German-Polish songwriter and recording artist who's intention is to listen to the heart and liberate it from the desires of wanting or trying to be cool. The two close friends took a road trip from LA to visit Jaymee in Ojai for the day at a highly transitional time in both their lives, which resulted in a deeply intimate conversation on topics ranging from the inspiration behind John's iconic mustache, Jess's ranking as the #4 listener of Arthur Russell on Spotify in 2025, the invitation to take the 'Leap of love' in life, the mystical white van that saved Jaymee's life, and that artists themselves are the true unfinished project. Plus the skinny on Jess's new cookbook (due this year), the mystery of John's unfinished album, and so much more.

    Dory Bavarsky is a composer and music producer known for his music for television and film and his record label Full Color Sound Records. Recently, musician Devendra Banhart introduced Jaymee to Dory at a Buddhist gathering, and in the weeks that followed the two new friends entered into a mutual admiration society of each others work.

You'll hear many engaging stories of being in the midst of the great Indian saint Neem Karoli Baba aka Maharaj-ji, a near death experience Dale had with Krishna Das in India, starting the conscious dying movement with Ram Dass and Stephen Levine in the 1970's, and the most meaningful healing experience he had with his father just prior to his passing.  LITA PODCAST: hosted, produced, and recorded by Jaymee Carpenter.  SOUND MIXED: Chris Faller OPENING SONG: Tripura Sundari by Earthtones Music & Sheela Bringi CLOSING SONG: Ocean Of Beauty by Earthtones Music & Sheela Bringi Interested in Trauma Counseling/Mentorship with Jaymee? email: lacee@loveistheauthor.com to set up a free consultation, or visit: www.loveistheauthor.com/mentorship  SPONSORS:  YERBA MADRE ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.yerbamadre.com⁠ RAUM GOODS ⁠⁠⁠⁠www.raumgoods.com⁠⁠⁠⁠ BOSSANOVA SOAP www.bossanovasoap.com⁠⁠⁠⁠ TOTALLY BLOWN ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.totallyblown.us⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ INDIAN LODGE ROAD ⁠⁠⁠⁠www.indianlodgeroad.com⁠⁠⁠⁠ THiS SHOW is a LABOR of LOVE.
