You know that feeling?

The scroll. The striving. The ache for more.

The next thing to buy. The next goal to hit. The next moment when you’ll finally feel okay.

But what if… you already are?

In this episode, we explore the ache that never quite goes away— the sacred longing that keeps whispering, “There must be more.”

Is it greed? Is it discontent? Or is it something deeper, something holier?

We’ll talk about scarcity and abundance,...

Once, the world was alive with whispers.

The wind carried messages. The rivers spoke. Bread and wine pulsed with mystery. And a burning bush wasn’t the miracle— the miracle was that someone noticed.

In this episode, we take a journey back— not to nostalgia or naïveté, but to wonder. To awe. To the possibility that the world is still enchanted… and always was.

We’ll talk mystics and quantum physics, rituals and raindrops, the sacred...

The job is gone. The relationship shifted. The dream no longer fits. You’re not where you were, but not yet where you’re going.

This podcast is for the wilderness moments— when the old map stops working and there’s no new one in sight.

Blending storytelling, scripture, stillness, and the raw ache of becoming, this is a space to breathe, to listen, to trust that maybe—just maybe—you’re not lost… you’re learning to hear again.

What if boredom isn’t a curse, but a crucible? A sacred, smoldering space where something ancient is trying to happen? In a world obsessed with stimulation, speed, and distraction, boredom feels like failure. Like something’s gone wrong. But what if it’s actually an invitation? In this episode, we explore the strange possibility that boredom is not the absence of life—but the birthplace of it. A hidden laboratory where ideas fermen...

We talk about prayer. Meditation. Fasting. Silence. But rarely do we talk about wonder. And yet, wonder might just be the spiritual practice we’ve been missing all along. The daily discipline of staying awake to the mystery. Of letting yourself be astonished. Of standing before the world with your jaw dropped, your eyes wide, your heart soft. In this episode, we explore what happens when wonder becomes more than a mood—when it beco...

You are not small. Inside you is an entire universe. Galaxies of thought. Solar systems of longing. Nebulas of memory and dream. We tend to think of the cosmos as something “out there”—stars burning millions of light-years away. But what if the same wild, creative energy that shaped the stars also shaped you? In this episode, we explore the vast interior space within each of us—the intricate, infinite worlds of mind, heart, and spi...

Ideas are tricky little creatures. They don’t arrive on schedule. They don’t respond to emails. They show up unannounced—half-dressed, a little tipsy, carrying riddles instead of blueprints. And if you’re not paying attention, they slip right past you.

In this episode, we explore the art of catching ideas—the strange, zany, beautiful process of noticing the flicker, the glimmer, the quick flutter of something trying to be born. Wha...

Blessed are the weirdos. The square pegs. The outsiders. The ones who never quite fit the mold. The Gospel of the Misfit is about the good news that there’s nothing wrong with you for being different. In fact, your difference might be the very thing the world is starving for. In this episode, we celebrate the beautiful, messy brilliance of the misfit soul—the artists, rebels, dreamers, and edge-dwellers who refuse to color inside t...

Trees don’t hustle. They don’t compare. They don’t grasp or strive or scroll. They just… be. And in their quiet, rooted presence, they seem to know something we’ve forgotten. In this episode, we lean into the wisdom of the trees—their patience, their stillness, their way of belonging to the earth without apology. What if enlightenment isn’t about transcending life, but sinking more deeply into it? What if spiritual maturity looks a...

The universe is stitched together with stories. Stories about who we are, where we’re from, what matters, and what’s possible. Even the atoms tell a story—of stars that died so we could live. In this episode, we explore the idea that story is not just how we entertain ourselves—it’s how we make meaning. How we survive. How we connect. Every belief, every nation, every family, every identity is wrapped in a narrative. So what happen...

Normal is a moving target. A slippery word we use to police behavior, silence difference, and shrink ourselves to fit. But what if ‘normal’ is the problem? In this episode, we unpack the myth of normalcy—the invisible scripts that tell us who we’re supposed to be, how we’re supposed to act, and what success is supposed to look like. We ask why we so often trade our wild, glorious weirdness for the comfort of fitting in. What does i...

What gives a place its spirit?

Some cities hum with life. Others feel hollow.

In The Soul of a City, we explore the invisible forces that shape how places feel—the architecture, the stories, the scars, and the dreams that give a city its pulse. From memory-laden streets to towering skylines, we ask: Why do some places feel alive… and others don’t?

Through conversations with architects, artists, historians, and locals, we uncover wh...

In a world obsessed with certainty, productivity, and polished perfection, what happens when we make space for the ridiculous, the irrational, the weird, and the wonderfully absurd? This episode is a joyful, spirited defense of clowns, paradoxes, nonsense poems, surreal art, and divine disruption — the sacred mischief-makers who remind us that not everything needs to make sense to matter.

Because sometimes the most important truths...

We’ve been taught to fear the silence. To run from the empty spaces. To cram our calendars, fill the gaps, grab our phones the moment boredom creeps in.

But what if the void—the blank space, the pause, the quiet—isn’t something to avoid? What if it’s the birthplace of everything? The womb of creativity. The spark of insight. The edge where new worlds begin.

In this episode, we explore the paradox of emptiness. Why we resist it. Why...

Linear time? Nah. We’ve been told that time marches forward—steady, predictable, one second at a time. But what if that’s just… one story among many? In this episode, we crack open the clock and peek inside. From ancient cultures that saw time as a spiral, to trippy psychedelic journeys where minutes melt into eternities, to physicists who casually suggest that past, present, and future might all exist at once—turns out, time is a ...

We love the story of the lone genius. The isolated mastermind. The solitary artist birthing brilliance from a cabin in the woods or a cluttered garage.

But what if that story… is a myth?

In this episode, we pull back the curtain on the seductive idea of the solo genius—and explore how true innovation is rarely a one-person show. Instead, we’ll look at how community, chaos, and conversation are often the real catalysts behind great ...

What if the most honest way to live… is to not always have the answers? This podcast is a meditation on curiosity, wonder, and the sacred art of not knowing. In a world obsessed with certainty, we explore the beauty of the question—the way it opens, softens, and invites. Part philosophy, part storytelling, and part soul-search, Living Like a Question Mark is for anyone who suspects that mystery might be more trustworthy than dogma…...

The Universe Is Laughing... Are You? is a soulful, slightly irreverent dive into the wild, unpredictable rhythms of life. In this episode, we explore the cosmic joke that is control—how we chase it, how we lose it, and how sometimes, when we finally let go, everything falls into place.
