These aren’t just thoughts. They’re transmissions of reality. From author Z.N. Cruz comes a series of quiet reflections on the hidden architecture of time, emotion, memory, and our identity in the cosmos. Drawing from philosophy, science fiction, and her extreme love of pop culture, each episode explores how the extraordinary shows up in everyday life; from déjà vu to grief, fractured timelines to emotional echoes, and the shifting reality around each of us. If you’ve ever paused mid-step and felt something shift... this may be the version of you who was meant to listen.

  1. Transmission 013 - The Shelf of Ambiguity

    3D AGO

    Transmission 013 - The Shelf of Ambiguity

    At some point, the instructions stop working. In this episode, Z.N. Cruz explores what happens when the frameworks we were given for building a life no longer fit who we’ve become. When the shelf is full—of achievements, expectations, responsibilities, but none of it feels like it belongs anymore. The Shelf of Ambiguity is a reflection on misalignment, inherited structures, and the unsettling realization that following the rules doesn’t guarantee meaning. Through quiet observation and a cultural echo that refuses consolation, this episode sits in the space between knowing and not knowing what comes next. There are no answers here. Only recognition.

  2. Transmission 012 - The Crisis of You

    JAN 1

    Transmission 012 - The Crisis of You

    Mid-life isn’t always loud. It doesn’t always arrive as panic, regret, or reinvention. Sometimes it arrives quietly, as awareness. In this episode, Z.N. Cruz explores the moment when time stops feeling theoretical, when the body becomes scrutinized, and when the meanings that once guided us begin to slip away. Through a distinctly female lens, The Crisis of You reflects on adaptation, identity, physicality, and the unsettling realization that no one is coming to explain what life is meant to be. This is not an episode about fixing yourself. It’s about standing in the space where old scripts end, and realizing the responsibility that remains. A slow, philosophical meditation on mid-life, authorship, and the moment the door to the future opens.

    Transmission 011 - The Tiredness of Being

    We say "I'm okay" and "I'm tired" every day, often without meaning either. In this week's episode, Z.N. Cruz explores the deeper exhaustion so many of us carry: the tiredness of constantly performing, adapting, and hiding parts of ourselves just to feel safe in the world. From expectations and emotional masks to loneliness and the comfort of returning to familiar stories, this is a reflection on what it means to survive in a world that rarely asks us to be real. A quiet, honest episode about exhaustion, identity, and the long, unfinished work of learning how to truly be okay.

    Transmission 010 - The Glitch in the Simulation

    Is reality real, or just the version we accept? This week, Z.N. Cruz dives into the glitches, déjà vu moments, and subtle seams in our everyday lives, exploring what it means to become aware inside a simulated world. Inspired by philosophy, memory, and the cultural echo of The Matrix, this episode asks the only question that truly matters: What do we choose to be once we wake up?

    Transmission 009 - Our Quantum Selves

    In this week’s transmission, Z.N. Cruz explores the quiet multitudes we carry within us; the selves shaped by disappointment, joy, survival, and the purest version buried beneath them all. “Our Quantum Selves” is a reflection on how we are not a single identity, but an accumulation of every moment that changed us. A meditation on becoming, resilience, and the quiet hope that someone will one day see the truest version of who we’ve always been. If you’ve ever felt like many versions of yourself live inside one life, this one is for you. Stay close to the echo.

    Transmission 008 - The Soulmates of Time

    What if ghosts aren’t the dead at all? What if they’re echoes of you... memories from timelines you never lived, bleed-through from versions of yourself that still exist elsewhere? This week's transmission explores dimensional hauntings, emotional overload, and the physics of soulmates through the reflective opinions of ZN Cruz.

    Transmission 007 - Waiting for a Train

    In this transmission, Z.N. Cruz explores the quiet grief we carry for the versions of ourselves we never became: the futures that slipped away, the dreams that changed before we were ready, and the people who shaped our timelines more than we ever realized. A reflection on loss, memory, and the echo of the life that might have been.

    11/13/2025

    Transmission 006 - What We Leave Behind

    In this transmission, Z.N. Cruz explores the quiet traces we leave behind; not the monuments or milestones, but the small, ordinary fragments that outlive us in ways we rarely notice. Through science, memory, energy, and art, she reflects on how every life continues in particles, echoes, and stories. How the warmth of a hand becomes part of the air. How a whisper becomes wind. How grief, laughter, and silence weave themselves into the world long after we’re gone. What We Leave Behind is a meditation on legacy; not in lineage or fame, but in the impact we carry into strangers, stories, and the universe itself.
