Last week a friend sent me a link to Soul Reading (ps) with the note, “Do this, it’s wild.” I clicked on it to find a little query situation within ChatGPT that purports to confab with your spirit guides to tell you who you really are. You enter your name, birthdate, birth city, and current city and then let it do its thing.

You can also listen to this episode on Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. I’ve done several wild journeys with Danielle Gibbons. I met Danielle through Carissa Schumacher, who you’ve likely heard me talk about many times before. Carissa is a psychic medium and a channel—she channels Yeshua. In contrast, Danielle is solely a channel—and she channels Mother Mary.

I recently read Moral Ambitionby Rutger Bregman, a brilliant and straightforward Dutchman who has been making the rounds with people like Jon Stewart—and making the call to college graduates, to throw off the path to Goldman Sachs or a consulting career at McKinsey to pursue moral ambition instead. (As he writes, “Some 45 percent of Harvard alumni go into finance or consulting.

You can also listen to this episode on Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. In May’s monthly solo episode, I’m reflecting on: motherhood, my mom, the Performance of Parenthood, and what provokes my anger around Mother’s Day. How badly the world needs us all to hold a balance of the masculine and feminine—and how badly we need the feminine to rise in men. What it might look like if we didn’t operate out of fear. Applying my writing process and system to other areas of life.

You can also listen to this episode on Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. Coco Krumme is an applied mathematician and writer. She got her doctorate at MIT and has spent some time working on data modeling in Silicon Valley, as well as some time living a bit more off the grid, on a remote island in the Pacific Northwest. Through her work, Coco came to question how, and why, we’ve become so obsessed with optimizing nearly every system in our country, and every aspect of our lives.

I went for a walk with a new friend the other week. She’s a therapist, and she published a book earlier this year that has done quite well—it had just fallen short of making the New York Times bestsellerslist, a heartbreaking near-miss that’s a common story for authors with books that are classified for the “Advice, How-To and Miscellaneous” category—there are only 10 spots, and books like Atomic Habits, The Creative Act, and now, The Let Them Theory, can sit on there for years.

You can also listen to this episode on Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. Many of you will already be familiar with Jennifer Freed. She’s a psychological astrologer, a social and emotional education trainer, an author, and the cofounder of the nonprofit AHA! She’s one of the wisest and most honest women I know. Really, she’s a national treasure. Today, Jen is talking about what’s happening, astrologically speaking, that could help us make sense of this moment in time.

On Saturday night, my friend Chrissy invited me to her house for a conversation with Julianne Smith, the former U.S. Ambassador to NATO under Biden and Nobel Peace Prize winner Oleksandra Matviichuk, a Ukrainian human rights defender and the head of the Center for Civil Liberties. (If you’re thinking that this seems like an unlikely invite, I agree—but Chrissy is a TV writer and she’s been assembling screenwriters and TV writers to confer with NATO about both stories and storytelling.

Even though we’re a few months away from publishing our workbook, Choosing Wholeness Over Goodness(coming 8/26, you can pre-order it now—this is a great help!), my co-author (and dear friend) Courtney Smith and I went to NYC last week to test-drive a short workshop. While we love leading the full weekend, full process version*—give us time and space and we will take it—it’s always great practice to see what we an pack into an hour. As it turns out, we can actually do a lot.

One of the most compelling concepts in True and False Magic, Phil Stutz’s new book which I co-wrote with him, is the idea of Universe One and Universe Two. It’s also the concept I’ve gotten the most questions about: So how do I live in Universe Two??? (We discussed the Universes on the podcast.)I’ve got some answers, answers you may not love.
