    In this heartfelt conversation, Jennifer opens up about her decision to become a single mother and the emotional, cultural, and practical realities of that choice. She reflects on the moment she decided to conceive, the support she received from her family, and the challenges of navigating modern expectations around relationships, gender roles, and parenting.

    S2 E5: Interdependence VS Codependence with AMWU

    In this episode, Reign and AMWU dive deep into the dance between codependency and interdependence — in friendships, family, and community. We share personal stories of setting boundaries, breaking old relationship patterns, and learning how to support others without losing ourselves in the process. We explore the role of somatic work in healing trauma, how self-perception shapes what we manifest, and why independence doesn’t mean isolation. AMWU opens up about her journey of building a self-sufficient community in Jamaica, while Reign reflects on embracing codependency as a framework for growth and sovereignty. From navigating past relationships to celebrating new beginnings — including Onyx’s milestone toothless smile — this conversation offers an honest look at how we can grow individually and together.

    S2 E4 The Female Nervous System and Conscious Breathwork w/ Eve Mcnaghten: The Rise of the Parasympathetic

    In this episode, Reign is joined by breathwork facilitator Eve McNaghten for a deep dive into the female nervous system, menstrual cycles, and the transformative power of conscious connected breathwork. Eve shares her journey of coming off the pill, healing early menstrual trauma, and discovering how breathwork can both nurture and destabilize depending on a woman’s cycle and the method used. Together, they explore: Why women need a cyclical approach to breathwork How trauma lives in the body and can be released through breath The role of hormones in shaping stress and emotional responses The impact of cycle awareness on relationships and intimacy Wider reflections on culture, patriarchy, and our disconnection from the body This conversation is raw, honest, and full of insight into what it means to reclaim the wisdom of the body and live more fully in tune with our cycles.

    S2 E2: Shit Sandwiches & “New Cages” with Tony Sayers of Transcending Times

    In my latest conversation with self-proclaimed shit-sandwich peddler Tony from TranscendingTimes.org, we got into why he calls himself a shit sandwich purveyor — because the truths he shares aren’t sweet or easy to swallow, but they’re what he sees as necessary. He argues that what’s often called the “new age” is really a “new cage”. Things like yoga retreats, ayahuasca ceremonies, men’s circles, and full-moon rituals aren’t just distractions — they’re sedation. They pacify people into thinking they’re “awakening,” while in reality, they’re being lulled back to sleep. For Tony, this isn’t harmless. He believes it makes you more vulnerable to being recycled right back into the “soul-cycle” after death — stuck in the same loop, never breaking free. So what’s the alternative? To engage fully with life here and now: work, create, revolt, take responsibility, build something real. That’s the point of being human, he says — to resist passivity and take up your actual role in the matrix of life.
