The Unexpected Gift of Authentic Rest | Ep. 023

What if rest is more than sleep or taking a break from productivity? What if true rest is being able to take off the armor and simply be yourself? In this episode of New Humans for New Earth, Queenie and Gabe Torres explore what it means to truly honor yourself. They talk about recognizing when you’ve reached your capacity, setting boundaries, letting go of past versions of yourself, and creating space for solitude, nature, play, and presence. Together, they explore the relationship between rest and safety…and how learning to show up unarmored can create a softer, safer world for everyone around us. What happens when we stop trying to perform, protect, and manage everything, and instead give ourselves permission to just be?

Making Peace With The Ego | Ep. 016

What happens when we stop fighting ourselves? In many spiritual traditions, we're taught that the ego is the problem and that awakening requires us to transcend it, dissolve it, or leave it behind. But what if the ego isn't a mistake? What if it's an essential part of the human journey? In this episode, Queenie explores a different perspective on the ego and its role in the evolution of human consciousness. Rather than viewing the ego as an enemy to be defeated, she considers both the ego’s shadow and its gifts. She suggests that the ego and the rational mind actually helped humanity arrive at this moment of spiritual awakening. Through reflections on healing, consciousness, intuition, and the transition from separation to interconnectedness, this conversation invites us to move beyond the battle between mind and heart. Together, we explore the possibility that the next step in human evolution isn't the destruction of the ego, but learning to place it in service of love. Timestamps: 00:00 Where ego fits in our world 06:47 How we can push back 09:13 The ego doesn’t have to be a bad thing 14:42 There are levels to this 18:22 The ego is a defense mechanism 22:25 Environmental impact 26:37 Why we reject our ego 30:38 What the spiritual texts have to say 33:25 How I developed a relationship with my ego 40:53 The ego is not evil 45:03 The evolution of human consciousness 48:52 The shift we’re living in 55:46 Where we can go from here Opt in: To end-to-end encrypted email with Proton Mail.
