Why should we pay attention to scars or scar tissue? After the original injury heals and its pain recedes, should we ignore what's left behind?

Check out her award-winning novel, Do Not Say We Have Nothing (which Linda discussed in Season 1, Episode 3) and her most recent novel, The Book of Records.

Notes and Links to Cole Cuchna's Work     Cole Cuchna graduated from California State University with a degree in music composition. Cuchna graduated in 2015, pursued a short solo career, then worked as a barista. But his desire to bridge the classical and pop worlds persisted. He remembered his love of writing essays and conducting deep research about music. That coincided with the growing popularity of podcasting, which had been around for a decade. It was the perfect medium, he felt, for long-form analysis of an audio art.    Cole is the host and creator of Dissect Podcast, a music podcast which debuted in 2016. The podcast is renowned for its in-depth analysis of contemporary music. Dissect was named "Best podcast of 2017" by Quartz, and the following year was named "Best podcast of 2018" by The New York Times. Additionally, both Time magazine and The Guardian listed Dissect as one of the top 50 podcasts of 2018. 2025 marks the 13th season of Dissect.  Listen to Dissect Podcast   Watch Dissect Podcast on Netflix   Dissect Podcast Homepage   Dissect Podcast Wikipedia   Review of Dissect Podcast   At about 2:55, Cole explains plans for Dissect Podcast on Netflix, coming soon!

In this Season 2 finale, David and Gene synthesize their entire journey through Gnosticism, revealing how the four texts they covered create a complete initiatory system for spiritual awakening.After exploring the Perennial Philosophy through Freemasonry's "Key to the Mysteries" in Season 1, they discovered what that key unlocks: the suppressed wisdom of Gnosticism - teachings so dangerous to institutionalized religious control that possessing these texts once meant execution. This episode traces the path from spiritual sleep to enlightened awareness through:The Secret Gospel of John's cosmic blueprint of consciousness,The Gospel of Thomas's paradoxical wisdom designed to short-circuit dualistic thinking,The Trimorphic Protennoia's first-person autobiography of the Universal Mind discovering itself, andThe Thunder, Perfect Mind's paradoxical declarations that shatter all notions of separation.David and Gene map these texts onto the ancient Gnostic initiatory framework using the symbol of a point within a circle with:Hylics identified with the material world (the circle's edge),Psychics identified with mind and emotion (the radius line bridging matter and spirit), andPneumatics who have achieved direct knowledge of their divine nature (the center point).Each text addresses a specific stage on this journey from identification with the body to recognition that individual consciousness is not separate but rather the One Universal Mind experiencing itself through countless perspectives.The ultimate revelation? The Thunder, Perfect Mind's closing promise echoes The Gospel of Thomas's opening declaration: those who find this wisdom will not taste death, for they recognize themselves as the deathless consciousness that animates all life.

This year was brutal for many. A trial by fire. We have been taken through the lessons of our shadow. Seeing places we were not looking. Emotions that refused to be suppressed. We felt everything so deeply and were given opportunity to heal, transform and alchemize it. This podcast was one of those that we say we should have hit record. We were already recording and it happened. Our rally cry for 2026. We've been through it too, we see you and we love you. 

Drs. Mackenzie Steiner and Alex Iantaffi discuss their collaborative program, The Collective Alchemy of Gender Liberation. This is a new, somatic-based program created by trans people for trans people in service to our collective liberation. In this episode, they talk about how the program started, the values it's rooted in, and how gender is an embodied experience. Mackenzie and Alex also talk about how their collaborative process is heart-centered and based in relationality, rather than product-focused and treating the collaboration as a mean to an end, as is often the case in dominant culture. While the program is by and for trans people, the episode has much to offer to cis folks as well in relation to a deeper understanding of gender and to what a collaborative process centered in decoloniality might look like.  Mackenzie Steiner is a reformed clinical psychologist with over 20 years of clinical experience specializing in attachment, gender identity and socialization, as well as addictions and trauma recovery. For 20 of those years, she worked with veterans facing just about every possible type of concern related to their identities, relationships and mental health, but particularly at the interface of addictions and complex post-traumatic stress. Mackenzie transitioned into private practice at the beginning of 2023 to stretch her wings and be free to practice with communities and in ways unencumbered by organizational constraints. At the heart of her work is building an attuned, compassionate and safe relational base from which to explore the challenging aspects of one's history and how it intersects with the present moment. Mackenzie accomplishes this through a mosaic of attachment, mindfulness, emotionally and somatically focused approaches as well as parts-work perspectives that she has found most efficiently and humanely promote long-term change and deep healing. And she has found that nature can be a profound ally for this process! On the more personal side, she is an avid outdoors-person who is most nourished by activities ranging from landscaping to hiking, climbing and backpacking. She is also a seeker of mysteries, having an insatiable curiosity to discover the knowledge and wisdom underlying our physical, psychological, relational and spiritual realities in service of promoting our health and authentic evolution.  Find out more about the Collective Alchemy of Gender Liberation and Dr. Mackenzie Steiner at the following links: Website: https://www.gender-alchemy.org/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/collectivegenderalchemy/ @collectivegenderalchemy Dr. Mackenzie Steiner's website: https://naturesmosaictherapy.com/  Instagram: GenderStoriesHosted by Alex IantaffiMusic by Maxwell von RavenGender Stories logo by Lior Effinger-Weintraub

In this episode, I'm introducing the first two steps of the Empress Method: Expanding Love and The Mirror.I share how the Empress Method came through, why these two steps are the foundation of embodied sovereignty, and how expanding love is not about bypassing or positivity, but about increasing capacity, safety, and truth in the body.We explore how the mirror works in real life and relationships, why what triggers or inspires you is never random, and how these reflections are invitations into deeper self-trust and self-leadership.I also weave in personal stories, lived examples of expanding love, and insights around Line 5 energy in Human Design, including projection, leadership, and why Empresses are often seen as mirrors before they are fully understood.This episode is for you if you're ready to:Stop outsourcing your powerUnderstand your reflections instead of resisting themLead yourself with love, clarity, and embodied authorityStep more fully into your Empress Era_____________________________________________________________________I am calling in women who are ready to be deeply supported in 2026.

It was a Jen Hatmaker Book Club selection back in March 2023, and it has stayed with so many of us. Suleika is an Emmy Award–winning journalist, bestselling author, speaker, and artist whose work asks some of the biggest questions humans ever face: What does it mean to live when life has been shattered? How do we hold hope and devastation at the same time? What does healing actually look like when recovery isn't linear, or even guaranteed? She is also the founder of The Isolation Journals, a global creative community of more than 100,000 writers, artists, and curious souls who use storytelling and imagination as tools for transformation. Her latest book, The Book of Alchemy, feels is a continuation of her journey — filled with essays, prompts, and reflections from over 100 contributors across disciplines. It's an invitation to explore how we turn pain into meaning, uncertainty into beauty, and our lives into art. Suleika speaks so generously about what it means to live in the middle — between diagnosis and remission, despair and joy, isolation and connection — and how storytelling helps us metabolize what we've lived through. Whether you're a writer, an artist, someone who's walking through your own valley, or simply trying to make sense of your story, this episode will speak to you.  Thought-provoking Quotes: There is no right or wrong way to journal. There are no rules. You don't have to be a good writer. I think it's why journaling appeals to me so much. – Suleika Jaouad I really try to make the journal a sacred space where I get to be my most unedited, most chaotic self. – Suleika Jaouad When I'm not trying to be efficient or productive is when I often end up having my best ideas because I'm not controlling, I'm not pushing, I'm not muscling my way through. – Suleika Jaouad When I stop making certainty or perfection the goal, it releases me from measuring myself against how far I am from that goal. And I get to be more present in what's happening now. – Suleika Jaouad Resources Mentioned in This Episode: American Symphony documentary on Netflix – https://www.netflix.com/title/81728930 The Book of Alchemy: A Creative Practice for an Inspired Life by Suleika Jaouad – https://amzn.to/3KPqWTD The Art of Survival | In living with cancer, Suleika Jaouad has learned to wrench meaning from our short time on Earth by Jennifer Senior | The Atlantic – https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2024/06/suleika-jaouad-writer-health-cancer/678210/?utm_campaign=the-atlantic&utm_content=edit-promo&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook Between Two Kingdoms: A Memoir of a Life Interrupted by Suleika Jaouad – https://amzn.to/48KO9y5 The Isolations Journals on Substack – https://theisolationjournals.substack.com/ Jon Batiste – https://www.jonbatiste.com/ Piano for Super Bowl LIX 2025 – https://noma.org/exhibitions/jaouad-batiste-piano/#exhibition-works Guest's Links: Website - https://www.suleikajaouad.com/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/suleikajaouad/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/SuleikaJaouadPage Substack - https://theisolationjournals.substack.com/ Connect with Jen!Jen's Website - https://jenhatmaker.com/ Jen's Instagram - https://instagram.com/jenhatmakerJen's Twitter - https://twitter.com/jenHatmaker/ Jen's Facebook - https://facebook.com/jenhatmakerJen's YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/user/JenHatmaker The For the Love Podcast is presented by Audacy.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

This episode is the origin story of Phoenix Rising.I share how this portal was conceived over a year ago, how my body has been preparing for it without my mind fully knowing, and how the pieces finally clicked into place through my own initiation, devotion, and lived experience.This is not a logistics episode.It's a transmission.I paint the felt sense of what Phoenix Rising actually is, what it feels like to arrive, to be held, to shed the warrior era, and to move through a five-day in-person portal that opens into a year-long initiation inside The Path of the Empress.If your body has been craving rest without collapse, depth without performance, and transformation without force, this episode will speak to you.There is nothing to sign up for here.No link.No pitch.Just an invitation for the eight women who are meant to hear it to feel the yes in their bodies and reach out when they're ready.If this episode lands, trust that.Your body knows what to do next.___________________________________________The Phoenix Rising: The Year of the Empress portal is open!

In this deeply moving episode of The Feminine Frequency Podcast, our host Amy Natalie is joined by Megsy Ann for a soulful conversation that weaves together feminine magnetism, grief, healing, and the reclamation of sensuality and pleasure.This episode explores what happens when a woman allows herself to be fully present with pain instead of running from it—and how that presence becomes the gateway to emotional alchemy, empowerment, and profound transformation. Megsy courageously shares her lived experience of loss and the initiation it created into a deeper, more embodied way of being.Together, Amy and Megsy unpack the societal expectations placed on women—particularly around motherhood—and how those pressures can disconnect women from their bodies, emotions, and desires. The conversation highlights the necessity of safety in emotional expression, the power of movement and body awareness, and the radical nature of choosing pleasure even in the midst of grief.This episode is an invitation to soften, to feel, and to remember that joy and sorrow are not opposites—but companions on the path of feminine awakening.Themes: Feminine magnetism is deeply connected to presence and synchronicity.Grief can become a powerful catalyst for personal and spiritual growth.Allowing pain creates space for healing and emotional alchemy.Sensuality and pleasure are essential, not optional, aspects of womanhood.Motherhood often comes with unspoken pressures that limit self-expression.Feeling safe to express emotions is foundational for healing.Movement and body awareness unlock deeper emotional access.Simple daily rituals can amplify pleasure and aliveness.Reclaiming sensuality is a revolutionary act for women.SPECIAL OFFERS:

I sat down with two highly experienced breathwork facilitators, Emily Ray Henderson and Simona Dvorackova, to explore what breathwork actually does beneath the hype. We talk about why breath has become so central right now, from nervous system regulation and everyday stress, through to trauma release and altered states of consciousness. We explore how breathwork helps complete unfinished stress responses, why the body holds tension and memory, and how conscious connected breathing can release things without needing to analyse or relive the past. We also get into safety, facilitation quality, and why trust and experience matter so much in deep work. Along the way, we touch on science, spirituality, non dual experiences, modern wellness culture, and where breathwork might be heading next. From simple tools anyone can use, to profound immersive experiences, this is a grounded look at breath as a foundation for healing, presence, and human maturity.

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 186 The dialectic is ultimately the engine of all Marxist and Hegelian thought and also underlies Fascism and the conflict between Fascism and Marxism. It is also fundamentally Sociological Alchemy, as the Soviets both knew and admitted. Based on Marx's ideas about dialectical materialism as the fundamental law of all of Nature, including Man, the Soviets outlined three key dialectical laws and taught them to every school child and party member. First, there is the transformation of quantity into quality, and vice-versa. Second, there is the struggle and unification of opposites. Third, there is the "negation of the negation," which most people know as "problem, reaction, solution" in practice. In this episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay introduces these three dialectical laws of Marxist and Soviet thought and brings them alive for you while comparing them to the social alchemy of George Soros and the ancient wizardry that tried to turn lead into gold.

Ever wished your anger could do more than burn bridges? I dive into emotional alchemy—the practical art of turning heavy feelings into clear boundaries, grounded choices, and honest desire. Rather than chasing quick fixes or bypassing pain, we build a container where rage, grief, and fear can be felt fully, safely, and usefully. Think music rituals, movement to complete the stress cycle, and simple journalling to let the body speak before the mind explains.I share how explosive emotions often sit on top of sadness and unmet needs, and why acknowledging that softer layer is the turning point. Rage isn't a flaw; it's a loving protector saying not okay. When we honour it without letting it run the show, the charge disperses and a deeper truth emerges: what we actually want. That focus point becomes the channel for your energy, shifting attention from avoiding hurt to moving toward love, fulfilment, and aligned action.You'll learn a repeatable practice: choose a song that matches the mood, root down through breath and body, feel without fixing, move to release, then write whatever is real. Go at your capacity—some processes complete in one sitting, others unfold over weeks. The goal is steadiness, not speed. Along the way we talk nervous system regulation, shadow work, the paradox of holding anger and joy together, and how desire clarity turns chaos into momentum.If this resonates, subscribe, share the episode with a friend who needs it, and leave a review to help others find the show.

To access the full interview, please consider joining Patreon as a paid member, or you can purchase the episode for a one-time fee. www.patreon.com/RejectedReligion. This month's guest is author Graham St. John, who joined me to discuss his new book, Strange Attractor: The Hallucinatory Life of Terence McKenna.Terence McKenna remains one of the most enigmatic voices of the psychedelic counterculture—equal parts philosopher, performer, and visionary. In this episode, we explore McKenna's mythopoetic “stoned ape” theory, his radical take on shamanism, the ‘teacher' Mushroom that leads one to the ‘indwelling of the Goddess', the mysteries of DMT and the “machine elves,” and his controversial Timewave Zero vision of history and hyperspace that embraced the I Ching and the Mayan calendar ‘2012 phenomenon.'Beyond psychedelics, McKenna was also fascinated with alchemy and Gnosticism, and while figures like Crowley, John Dee, and Gurdjieff were not embraced by McKenna, Graham nevertheless calls him a “psychedelic occultist”—a thinker whose visions of transformation resonate with centuries of esoteric tradition, even if McKenna probably would have resisted the label. Along the way, we unpack the tension between his cult of personality and his desire for academic legitimacy, and consider the legacy he left for today's psychedelic and occult communities.Unfortunately, I experienced some technical difficulties with my podcasting equipment, and the sound quality is not up to the normal standard.

Healing alchemy: That load you struggle under— Is it lead or gold? It's an invitation to look at the weight we carry with different eyes—to see our struggles not as proof that we're failing, but as the raw material for something deeper, stronger, and more meaningful. I brought in a line from Epictetus that has been sitting with me lately, and we explore what it means to transform our suffering instead of being crushed by it. And as a way of saying thank you, I wrote this haiku in calligraphy, framed it, and I'm giving it away. Giveaway details: Email me at poetdelayed@gmail.com with “healing alchemy” in the subject line. I'll put every entry into a drawing and choose a winner at random. Thanks for joining me. “may I be I is the only prayer—” — e. e. cummings I'd love to hear what you have to say about the episode including thoughts on the poetry and the topics that were discussed.

Send Us a Message!A winter squall hit the moment we sat down to record—perfect timing for a conversation about meeting the storm without losing yourself. We welcome Lacee Gengenbacher, a licensed mental health counselor turned shadow witch, to explore how shadow alchemy transforms fear, shame, and reactivity into clarity, choice, and real power. Together we unpack a grounded path from talk therapy to parts work, somatic intelligence, and sacred journeying—practices that turn “I don't know” from a roadblock into a guide.Lacee shares how Internal Family Systems helped her listen to protectors instead of battling them, and how curiosity plus love creates room for the shadow to reveal its gifts. We discuss the difference between ego advice and channeled guidance, what it means to be the “hollow bone,” and why triggers are invitations to alignment rather than proof of failure. A powerful story about her son on the basketball court shows compassion in action, while a raw account of neighbor conflict becomes a lesson in boundaries, cords, and redirecting energy back to source.In this episode we explore:• living the storm metaphor with intention• moving from licensed counselor to shadow witch identity• IFS parts work reframed as alchemy• somatic cues as truth signals in the body• journeywork as a container for the “I don't know”• triggers as invitations to alignment not shame• cords, protection, and redirecting energy to source• compassion in conflict and community dynamics• shop as portal: tools, tarot, spell bar, and sessions• practical ways to witness and release shadowWe also step inside Mountain Witch, Lacee's Bozeman shop—a portal for practical magic. From tarot for direction to shadow alchemy sessions and a hands-on spell bar, the space is designed to help you slow down, hear your body, and anchor new beliefs with ritual. If “positive vibes only” has ever felt hollow, this conversation offers another way: receive the energy, learn its message, alchemize what's heavy, and decide what stays.

How do we ever know what is enough – or feel like enough – in a world that pushes us to incessantly perform, perfect, collect, and earn?  The extraordinary duo Suleika Jaouad and Jon Batiste are here for one of the richest conversations we've had about art, love, ambition, spirituality, and what it takes to remain ourselves.  Together, we explore:  - The “beast” we all carry: fear, perfectionism, control, or ambition—and how facing it is the only way out;  - How we can all begin to alchemize our pain into creativity; and  - How to hold onto the integrity of art, beauty, and love in a world that's always searching for “more.”  This conversation will help you take a deep breath and finally feel like it's all enough – including you.  .  And check out our prior conversations we had with Suleika, the brilliant author of The Book of Alchemy: How to Stay Human; and How to Turn a Mistake into Magic.  About Jon Batiste:  Jon Batiste is a seven-time Grammy and Academy Award–winning artist whose music moves between jazz, soul, classical, and pop.  His ninth studio album, Big Money, was released on August 22nd, and is supported by a national headlining tour with more than 30 stops. Audiences also know Jon from his Oscar-winning score for his chart-topping album Beethoven Blues and the acclaimed documentary American Symphony, which celebrates his artistry, resilience, and love with his wife Suleika at the height of his creative powers.  About Suleika Jaouad: Suleika Jaouad is the author of the New York Times bestselling memoirs The Book of Alchemy and Between Two Kingdoms. She writes The Isolation Journals, the #1 Literature newsletter on Substack, and wrote the New York Times “Life, Interrupted” column. A three-time cancer survivor and visual artist, she appears with her husband Jon Batiste in the Oscar-nominated documentary American Symphony.
