It’s the final episode of our first season (sob), and there is no better artist, soul, human to help us close it out than Michael Urie. We talk about the crazy time we all find ourselves in, the value - and the work - of real self care, how to pay attention to the signals we are given, and how our understanding of spirituality has evolved individually and over the course of this podcast. A self-proclaimed agnostic, Michael never thought he’d be invited to the show (even though he’s our...

Ouf. Janie here. I gotta be honest. This one is still taking some processing. But it seems I got some good old dusty energy out of the way so I can focus on what is really blocking me creatively, which might be… (surprise, f***ing surprise) more of me!

Here’s the thing that I’m not sure we realized when we started this thing: the work of excavating all the bits of ourselves is a really hard, really forked, incredibly individual path. We talk to Katie about what her path looked like, and how it’s okay to want stuff and things and still be spiritual and shit. And some profound realizations along the way. Humor and pathos, right this way! Master Healer and Akashic Records Reader Katie Rubin spent 4 years at The University of Spiritual Healing...

More doubt and confusion! We are here for it. We are living it. We dig into it with Ali. She talks to us about growing up deeply Jewish and both the gifts and the questions she found on that path.

As an actor, Ali has performed on Broadway and off, and in venues across the country including The Roundabout Theatre, The Guthrie Theater, The Old Globe, Cincinnati playhouse in the park,...

On this BONUS episode, Ruibo gives Janie some tough love advice on creativity and release from the cards and her spirit guides. We all block ourselves, so how do we remove the blocks? How can we be intentional about what we want to manifest for ourselves while also releasing control of the outcome? A conundrum indeed. We get into it.

On this episode Ruibo opens up about moving from Shanghai to the US at a young age and subsequently experiencing the first of what would become regular and powerful metaphysical and out-of-body experiences. She explains how a painful shyness led her to acting as a vehicle for making sense of her interior life, and how that need has shifted as the tools and modalities of her spiritual practice have grown. It’s a fascinating and very intimate discussion. Ruibo Qian is an actor, writer, tarot...
