Another World is still Possible. The old system was never fit for purpose and now it has gone- and it's never coming back. We have the power of gods to destroy our home.

What happens if we commit to a world based on gener... more

Combine that with her ability to select and bring on the best of the best guests, and I look forward to every show.

  • I can’t stop listening to this

    She is feeding me something I’m not getting anywhere else. My ears and soul are glued on whatever she’s emitting. I think it’s the brutal honesty about the emotional gravity of where we are, and still she is finding was to inspire me forward to participate more in life and wake up every day to really, truly try to be here at this time.

    What a gift.

  • Fortifying

    Feeling very much like an ordinary person and this podcast is like talking to my inner self or a good friend. Goosebumps and the comfort of being in company that understands. That's a key part of deeply-rooted systems-change. Thank you for mirroring my words back to me and letting me know so many of us are thinking the very same way, the same dream is dreaming itself through so many of us. My twiggy branches do not stand alone.
