This week’s Episode is about liminality - what is it? How does it affect our spiritual path? What’s the difference between a mental health crisis and being in liminality (there’s a lot of overlap)? And how can we manage all the discomfort we’re bound to experience when we’re in it?

What it Means to be in Reciprocal Relationship

February 16, 2024 09:00 - 28 minutes - 19.5 MB

This week’s episode is all about our relationship with the more-than-human world, and the importance of not just taking from it, but also giving back. Today’s modern industrialized society encourages us to take and extract, but in doing so, we are left empty and disconnected, and the more-than-human world suffers as well. We can find a way to heal ourselves, and help restore balance, love, and respect to the world we all hold a unique and important place in. This plays out in our relationshi...

Going Beyond Our 5 Senses

February 09, 2024 09:00 - 26 minutes - 17.9 MB

In this Episode of the Rebel Buddhist Podcast, we’re diving into our 5 senses… and beyond. The way we connect with the more-than-human world can heal ourselves and the world around us, but using only our 5 senses just scratches the surface of ways we can begin to be more present to nature - and ourselves - on a daily basis. I talk about the more subtle and energetic ways of knowing that we can cultivate to develop an authentic relationship with the natural world, and even learn to communicat...

Lessons in Trust and Interdependence - Crossing the Street in Hanoi

January 26, 2024 09:00 - 17 minutes - 12.1 MB

This week I reflect on a recent visit to Hanoi, Vietnam, and how a simple experience of crossing the street turned into a very healing and eye-opening lesson in trust and interdependence. We’ll talk about how in the US, when it comes to navigating traffic and driving, we are taught to assume we are invisible. Drive defensively. Cross streets assuming no one sees you. In Hanoi, it was the opposite. If you wanted to do something as basic as cross the street, you have to assume you would be see...

Letting Go of Your Former Identity - Dissolution

January 19, 2024 09:00 - 26 minutes - 18.1 MB

This week we’re continuing our conversation about soulcentric adulthood by diving into the topic of soul initiation.

And I’ll give you some insightful questions and practices to try out so you can create space for dissolution to occur in your own life… when the time is right. Resources: // 71: How to Find Your Purpose //...

Soulcentric Adulthood

January 12, 2024 09:00 - 32 minutes - 22.2 MB

In this Episode of the Rebel Buddhist podcast, we talk about what it means to be a true grown-ass adult…in a soul centric way. Many theories of human development focus on stages that are reached in certain age ranges. But you and I both know that turning 18 doesn’t mean you’re a grown-ass adult, and it certainly doesn’t guarantee that we are psychospiritually mature. Listen to find out what true adolescence and adulthood mean, and why reaching true adulthood is so important for ourselves and...

Islands of Sanctuary - Being a Refuge for Your People

January 05, 2024 09:00 - 24 minutes - 16.9 MB

In these times it can be easy to feel powerless to have any significant impact on the future, especially as we cross the threshold of being able to reverse things already set in motion, like climate change. We need to move beyond the concept of “changing the world” - which is often overwhelming and leads to apathy. Indeed, in many ways, we can’t change the world. AND this does not mean we do nothing.  When I was an activist against nuclear weapons in my teens and also advocating for environ...

Greatest Hits Vol. 18 - Forgiveness

December 29, 2023 09:00 - 24 minutes - 17 MB

Leaving Home

December 15, 2023 09:00 - 39 minutes - 27.3 MB

In this episode, we talk about the importance of leaving home - physically AND psycho-spiritually. I’ll dive into how to know when it’s time to wander, and why we must do so in the first place. We talk about intersectional barriers to access leaving home - and how modern industrialized society holds us back (and why).  You will learn: // How to know it’s time to wander // How our wandering impacts the world around us // What leaving our physical and psychspiritual home looks like // Why...

Breakups + Heartache

December 08, 2023 09:00 - 33 minutes - 22.7 MB

This episode is all about a highly requested topic: breakups and heartache.

We also dive into the role history and societal expectations play in how we validate or judge relationships, and why using the length of a relationship to legitimize it isn’t helpful - at all. We explore...

Greatest Hits Vol. 17 - Emotional Stability

December 01, 2023 06:00 - 33 minutes - 23.3 MB

This week’s episode is all about equanimity and emotional stability. Many people have this idea that to be emotionally stable means we have to go through the world with this detached point of view about everything - good or bad. But that couldn’t be further from the truth! True equanimity is a balanced engagement with ALL aspects of life - the good AND the bad. Listen to learn more about how we can cultivate this in our own lives through a deeper understanding of the 4 Noble Truths. Resourc...

The Thread That Weaves

November 17, 2023 09:00 - 17 minutes - 12.3 MB

Medicine for These Times

October 20, 2023 08:00 - 20 minutes - 13.8 MB

The Gift of Wandering - Exploring Our Purpose

October 13, 2023 08:00 - 25 minutes - 17.8 MB

For me, a lot of my adventures and career shifts came while wandering, being open to what the universe showed me and the serendipitous events that arose. Some of you know I was a climbing guide for a decade, and that would have never crossed my mind as an option I’d come up with thinking about careers in my head! I was on track to get my degree in psychology then go to grad school for my PhD. But one day, a guy I was teaching a beginner’s rock climbing course with said, “Hey, you should ap...

Healing vs Curing

June 15, 2023 08:00 - 19 minutes - 13.6 MB

Often my mental health patients or Adventure Mastermind clients will ask me if they can be cured of their depression, anxiety, or complex emotional experiences. I’ve also noticed that many of us use “healing” and “curing” interchangeably, which doesn’t really work since they’re actually quite different.
