No Deep Dives by FlexMami

Babes, welcome to No Deep Dives, where we journey through life’s biggest (and smallest) questions with just enough depth to inspire—without the analysis paralysis. I’m Flex, best-selling author and decade-long internet thinker, here to unpack the things we all wonder about but don’t always have answers for. This is where intuition meets intention, blending philosophy, psychology, astrology, self-discovery, and those cosmic nudges that help you decode the art of living mindfully. For ruminators, seekers, and anyone ready to embrace life’s synchronicities, this podcast won’t solve everything—but it’ll help you see the magic in each moment. Think of it as your personal GPS for navigating life’s twists with purpose.

    uh oh the glimmers and emotional residue

    In the most dramatic way possible (and without having read the book or watched the movie) i understand the eat, pray, love lady. Seeing new places changes you from the INSIDE OUT.  ALSO IM RECORDING THIS FROM FRIDA KAHLO’s HOME TOWN AHHH!!!! Coyoacán, Mexico City! 🌞✨ There’s really something about those cosmic nudges that keep showing up (hello, synchronicities!), reminding you that there is a magical art to being self aware. Or at least aware of your experiences as you’re experiencing them. Also, who was going to tell me how you can your emotions to MAKE decisions not just a tool to REFLECT on decisions already made???? They’re basically your personal GPS for making better life choices. I’m recognising that paying attention to the small, sparkly moments can actually guide you toward a more intentional, values-driven lifestyle. Ofcourse I’ve imbued this episode with a perfect combination of astrology insights, lived lessons from my own experiments to live with more purpose. It's like a cosmic treasure map, but way more fun. ✨🗺 Until next time!   Timestamps 00:00 im falling in love  02:17 awareness (it’s always been you) 09:08 not “just” angel numbers  14:40 glimmer glee & nudge navigation 22:28 feeling as you feel it 31:34 synchronicities are following me around the world? 35:08 final thoughts until we meet again

    you’re not normal (everybody can tell)

    Normalcy? In 2024? Are you sure? I’m trying to unpack how niche behaviours, trends and belief systems have exploded into the mainstream, making everything feel ‘normal’ and yet totally strange at the same time. Australians online are becoming hyper aware and paranoid of cool in a way that feels uncharacteristically American.  We’ll also dive into the mental gymnastics of trying to be aware of what is popular and important to people (thus cool) and the ever shifting standards. Also!! Didn’t Carl Jung teach us about individuation for a reason. The belief that knowing and celebrating the chosen self is far more important than confirming.    Timestamps 00:00 intro + iphone notes 01:30 the elusive concept of normalcy 02:43 Australian coolness and American takeover 06:09 the sisyphean pursuit of normal and cool 15:32 don’t deny what is happening in the shadows 17:49 light + shadow = individuation 24:02 creative practices and wrapping up   Links Carl Jung Shadow Work

    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! Timestamps 00:00 it’s me again 00:33 what even is doing the work 04:17 what we do in the shadows; Shadow Work and Self-Examination 07:51 therapeutic and healing work 14:55 perfecting the process; thank you sixth house 21:43 hello tenth house giving us every day maintenance 24:21 the essence of Leo in the sixth house 24:40 is it what’s inside that counts?

    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! Here's my Instagram 🧿 Timestamps 00:00 sweetie pies, it’s me 01:13 talk therapy woes 04:34 neoliberal influence on self-optimisation 07:13 I feel so ME with my somatic and daily routines 14:43 action vs. intellectualising 17:11 soft muscles = emotional growth 21:12 getting out of your mind to get into yourself; breaking intellectual thought loops 23:47 taming perfectionism and self-doubt 25:11 action vs. inaction: lessons from the Gita 28:09 the pleasure of simple mindfulness practices: disrupting the mental loop 31:32 bridging the knowing and the doing through embodied values 32:25 final thoughts and farewell, miss you dearly

    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

    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. The video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F1mK8Hts5HA&list=WL&index=1&t=1s   Here's my Instagram 🧿   TIMESTAMPS 00:00 hi i missed u 01:54 astrology update 03:08 "how do you say??" 04:52 locking in (a lifestyle) 06:48 airport bookstore philosophy 09:29 ikigai!!!! 17:01 a strong foundation 23:25 miss u bye

    i rebuke 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. Rate five stars—don’t make me ask twice! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Miss you!   Here's my Instagram 🧿   TIMESTAMPS 00:00 hi am i better now? 00:24 pass-agg river confrontation 08:51 mars is in cancer!!! 15:35 emotional processing update 27:42 self awareness vs. self knowledge 30:49 i fear discipline works

    you're wrong about you (🎙: 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!
