    Hitchhiker’s Guide to: The Evil You Can’t See — When the Cover-Up Is the Crime

    In this episode of Hitchhiker’s Guide to Humanity, we talk about evil. Evil you can see, and the kind that hides in plain sight.  What if evil isn’t a human glitch… but something darker?  Systemic.  Protected.  This is a conversation about believing survivors, the slow grind of justice, collective disillusionment, and the uncomfortable realization that many of us are living at the end of a cycle.  Not the end of the world, but the end of dillusion. We talk energy, accountability, astrology, history repeating itself, and what it means to hold light without pretending darkness doesn’t exist. No bypassing. No platitudes. Just truth and the question we all have to face now: What do we do next? CW: We discuss abuse, trafficking, and systemic violence. Please listen with care.

    Hitchhiker’s Guide to: The F*ck Around Era Ends Here

    In this final episode of 2025, I’m saying goodbye to a year that felt like a collective trash fire, and hello to 2026 with cautious hope and intention.  This episode isn’t about pretending everything resets when the calendar flips. It’s about how we carry what we’ve learned forward. In this conversation, I reflect on: Intentionality and why it's so damn importantWhy the f*ck around era is the transition to the find out eraAngelic energy and human imperfectionWhy you’re not here to save the world, you’re here to be youThe importance of humor, whimsy, rest, and nervous-system care as the world goes through it's inevitable tower card momentThe great slow down in 2026Thank you for listening to me ramble on about spirituality, my own journey and the world and all its flaws. YOU are what kept me sane, knowing my voice found an audience. It means so much that you're here. I will see you next year with all new fun things to explore in the world of Humanity! As we head into 2026, Don't be afraid to fight for what’s right, but don’t burn yourself out. Put the phone down. Choose hope. Build new systems with care.  And most importantly, don’t forget to be human. Until next time, peace and love to you all!

    Hitchhiker’s Guide to: Are We Living in a Brave New World, 1984, or Both?

    Are we living in Orwell’s 1984, Huxley’s Brave New World, or some cursed mashup of both?  Censorship? Check. Distractions? Check. Billionaires hoarding wealth like emotionally stunted demons? Check. In this episode, we tear through the illusion of normalcy and ask: What happens when people stop thinking for themselves and start defending the very systems keeping them stuck?  We cover: Why dystopia doesn’t need chains, just comfort and routineHow to build a belief system that’s actually yoursWhy are people defending the 0.0001%?The insidious creep of fascism through media, money, and fearWhy real revolution starts inside your own nervous system Also: patriarchy, trans rights, immigration myths, and the dumbass idea that borders should matter more than human lives. No one owns your mind unless you give it away. You get to believe what you feel is true, just make sure it’s not hurting someone else in the process.  Support the show Your host, Erica, is an Energy Healer and author of Teach Me to Forget (Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers).

    Hitchhiker’s Guide to: Existing Is Enough

    In this episode of Hitchhiker’s Guide to Humanity, your favorite host (who finally remembers to introduce herself on air), erica from Earth Decoded, gets real about the pressure to “seize the day” and the toxic productivity culture hiding behind ancient Stoic quotes. Inspired by a passage from the Daily Stoic, this episode unpacks the shame spiral around doing “nothing,” why existing is a revolutionary act, and how resting your nervous system is actually part of your soul mission.  You’ll hear hot takes on Seneca’s motivational guilt trip, why capitalism is the real villain, and how to find peace in the meh.  You don’t have to be a content machine. You’re human. That’s enough. Support the show Your host, Erica, is an Energy Healer and author of Teach Me to Forget (Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers).
