I share the big questions that are scratching my brain. Questions about what it means to be human, and how to create the best possible blueprint for being.
My main objective is to embrace my humanity by becoming present with every aspect of my human experience.
Learning to be (becoming) human is a wild journey; especially in a strange (dehumanising) society that seems to have forgotten, exploited and abandoned the human.
But I do believe the answers are there -
in love, in bearing witness, in community and in sovereignty and in freedom.

earth is spinning, the humans are dizzy (1/2)
Long time no see, my friends!
I am back from a much needed hiatus and we’re kicking off Season 2 with a huge caveat for whenever things get... political.
Let’s be honest, it’s quite difficult to observe the human condition and to be Right Where We Are without noticing that everything (and I mean e👏🏾ve👏🏾ry👏🏾thing👏🏾) is intrinsically connected to the realm of the socio-political.
In this episode, we explore a new way of thinking/talking about politics that is not divisive and does not result in more conflict. This is a paradigm shifting perspective that can create the liberation we so deeply desire.

both are true (reconciling paradoxes)
Everything I said in episode 1 is true. And the opposite is also... true. Let's play a bit of devil's advocate and find ways to hold polar opposites as true in our hearts. Putting self-responsibility and self-compassion in one basket, creating a magical and revolutionary paradox.
[spontaneous, unscripted & straight from the heart]

earth is dizzy, the humans are spinning (2/2)
A call to love, even if it feels like the world is loveless and burning. An invitation to open your heart, even if it puts you and the risk of betrayal and crucifiction.
Because LOVE IS THE ANSWER. LOVE IS THE ANSWER. LOVE IS THE ANSWER.

Dirtiness is next to Godliness
"God is with me when I'm doom-scrolling on Instagram while taking a dump." God is with me always.
In this episode, we explore the idea of dirt as a cultural phenomenon that establishes order, power relations and cultural dynamic. In every culture, dirt is loathed, rejected and condemned. But what if dirt is natural, or it makes us who we are? What if Dirtiness is Next to Godliness?
