Today on Can't Be Contained, I am lit up to welcome the radiant Erin Claire. She's a Human Design guide, teacher, and bestselling author of How To Be You. If you've ever wondered why you move through the world the way you do... If you feel burnt out even when your life looks “good” on paper... If you're craving more ease, clarity, and connection in your relationships... This episode is going to speak straight to your soul. Erin shares how discovering her design changed everything. The way she works. The way she parents. The way she partners. The way she honors her truth and protects her peace. We dive into what Human Design actually is. A wild and powerful blend of astrology, the I Ching, Kabbalah, and the chakra system. It sounds cosmic—and it is—but it's also so practical. Erin breaks it down in a way that's clear, grounded, and completely life-giving. This conversation is all about permission. Permission to stop performing. To stop overriding your instincts. To live and lead from who you really are. Human Design gives us a language for that kind of liberation. Inside the episode, we explore: ➤ The five Human Design types and what they reveal about your energy, decision-making, and flow ➤ The difference between shrinking and aligning (this is big) ➤ How understanding your design supports parenting, partnerships, and team leadership ➤ The art of honoring your ambition while still choosing rest ➤ Rituals for staying connected to your truth and avoiding burnout We also get real about what happens when you're out of alignment. Why rest feels so hard for high-achievers. And why learning to pause is one of the most radical forms of self-love. Whether you're brand new to Human Design or deep into your chart, this episode will remind you of your brilliance. Erin's wisdom is rich, embodied, and full of heart. This one is for you if: —You want more flow and less friction in your life —You're curious about how Human Design can deepen your relationships —You're tired of apologizing for your needs —You love practical tools wrapped in soulful truth Grab Erin's beautiful new book, check out your chart at humandesignblueprint.com, and let us know your type. Let today be the day you stop trying to fix what was never broken. You are already enough. You are already wise. And the world needs you exactly as you are. Let's get into it.

In this episode, I sit down with Carla Fernandez to talk about something most of us carry but rarely feel safe enough to name: grief. But not just the grief of losing someone you love—though that's here too. We're talking Renegade Grief—Carla's fiercely compassionate framework for the untidy, lifelong grief that shows up when we lose a relationship, a role, a dream, a version of ourselves. The kind of grief that cyclebreakers know all too well.Carla shares her story and the origin of The Dinner Party, a community space for folks navigating all kinds of loss. Together, we explore how grief isn't something to “get over,” but something we're meant to move with. To honor. To metabolize in community, not isolation.We name the grief of growing up without what you needed. The grief of parenting while healing. The grief of estrangement, identity shifts, ancestral rupture. The grief that lives in the body—and the grief that, when tended to with care and ritual, can open the door to deeper presence, purpose, and love.Some takeaways from our conversation:Grief is not a problem to solve, but a process to be witnessed.Community is essential—grief is too big to hold alone.Cultural grief practices have been lost, but they can be reclaimed.Rituals create space for the body to process what words can't.Grief isn't just about death—it's about all the ways we love, lose, and evolve.Naming grief is a form of resistance in a culture that wants us to stay numb.When we meet our grief, we meet our capacity for connection and resilience.If you're in a season of shedding, of awakening, of outgrowing… this conversation is medicine. You are not broken—you're breaking open. I loved loved this conversation and I know you will too!You can purchase her book on her website: https://www.carlafernandez.co/renegade-griefAND the Dinner Party website is a wealth of resources for anyone that is grieving, she has created a curated list of books for each unique season and reason for grief: https://bookshop.org/shop/thedinnerpartyreads

If we want to encounter God, do we really need rituals and sacraments? Dr. Sri delves into the origins and purpose of the seven sacraments in the Catholic Church, explaining their Biblical basis and the incredible graces they confer. Snippet from the Show "The sacraments, instituted by Christ, make us more aware of the deeper invisible realities." _ _ For full shownotes, visit Ascensionpress.com/Allthingscatholic, or text ALLTHINGSCATHOLIC to 33-777 for weekly shownotes sent to your inbox.

Modern science meets bhakti wisdom: after 75 years of research, Harvard scientists concluded that good relationships—not wealth, fame, or even cholesterol—are the strongest predictor of long-term health and happiness. In this episode, Raghunath and Kaustubha discuss how the bhakti tradition is built on the understanding that life is meant to soften our hearts and train us to live harmoniously with God and every living being. They contrast this meaningful, purpose-driven worldview with the atheist perspective that sees life as random and purposeless—and reveal how bhakti offers a far richer vision of why we're here, how we grow, and how we truly thrive. This theme comes alive as they read about the gopīs' “village science”—washing baby Krishna, chanting mantras, and placing divine names on His body—which illustrates a profound technology of sound and love. Far from superstition, these rituals reflect the healthiest patterns for human life: relationships rooted in service, affection, and divine connection. Key Highlights: * How Vedic “village science” anticipated modern discoveries in vibration and sound. * Why bhakti places relationships—with God, others, and all beings—at the center of spiritual life. * Rituals and mantras as technologies of divine love, not superstition. * And yes, bar-hanging might make you live longer… but bhakti makes life meaningful.

“Rituals are in the roots of our humankind.” —  Iván AntezanaAdrián Núñez and Iván Antezana—leading organisers of the Peruvian Association of Atheists (APERAT)—reveal how their victory in the 2025 Humanist Accelerator Program is turning the dream of legally-recognised humanist ceremonies into a nationwide reality, challenging deep-rooted stigma and funding vital support for Peru's growing secular community.Topics we cover ✔︎ Founding APERAT and its legal battles for recognition ✔︎ Why “the atheist closet” remains so deep in Peru ✔︎ Lessons from the Humanist Ceremonies Accelerator ✔︎ Designing inclusive, inter-faith-friendly ceremonies ✔︎ Building a social enterprise to fund legal and social aid ✔︎ Partnering with wedding planners and funeral homes ✔︎ Strategies for nurturing a visible humanist communityThe Peruvian Atheist Association (APERAT) continues to work toward a freer, more rational, and truly secular Peru.

This week, Amy talks with Harvard Business School professor and author of The Ritual Effect, Michael Norton, about how simple acts—like tapping your lucky pen or that sacred coffee run—can do more than you think. We're talking stress relief, team bonding, and (yes) actually making work feel meaningful. They unpack the difference between rituals and habits, why your team's goofy lunch routine might be a stealth morale boost, and how even a tiny shared check-in—emoji-style—can reconnect us across the remote void. No kumbaya circles required. Tune in for a surprising, deeply human take on how we find connection, purpose, and a little weird joy in the everyday.

With an exact opposition to Pluto, this  is not a gentle nudge but a bold invitation to shed what no longer serves your soul and step into authentic leadership. If you've felt the pressure to perform or the urge to hide, this cosmic moment calls you into presence, courage, and radical trust.Key TakeawaysThe New Moon in Leo isn't about playing small—it's your sanctuary to remember what your soul truly desires, beyond what the world has conditioned you to be. This Moon brings deep, transformative energy as it meets a potent opposition with Pluto, setting the stage for shadow work, revelation, and empowered self-leadership.The Magic Triangle: Pluto, Neptune, UranusA celestial triangle—formed by Pluto, Neptune, and Uranus—amplifies the intensity and potential for soulful transformation. Pluto uncovers truth beneath the surface, Neptune reconnects you to dreams and spirit, while Uranus sparks liberation from old patterns. This alignment acts as an energetic reset, pushing you beyond surface solutions into deep, lasting change.Rituals & Reflection for the New EraLeo loves ceremony. Kim walks us through a powerful New Moon ritual, inviting us to see our soul's truth in the mirror and release what no longer serves us. The guidance is practical, whether you physically gather ritual items or work in the mind's eye, and focuses on reclaiming personal power, embodying self-trust, and inviting authentic abundance.Two Powerful Quotes from the Episode“Pluto says, if you're brave enough, I have tremendous healing that's available in the field around you, but only if you're honest about who you are at the core of your soul.”“This Moon marks a threshold initiation. The healing available isn't about fixing your past. It's about finally trusting your future.”Key Questions Answered1. What makes the July New Moon in Leo so transformative?[0:36] The New Moon appears at 2° Leo, closely opposing Pluto. This rare aspect isn't a gentle invitation but a soul-level reckoning; it calls you to examine deep truths and shed old identities.

How can I work with these intense astrological energies for personal growth?[11:23] This New Moon energy is best approached with ritual and honest self-reflection. Kim explains how to set up a meaningful ceremony—using a mirror, a white candle, water, and a symbol of your empowered self—to see your true soul, set intentions, and let go of limiting beliefs.3. What emotional themes should I expect and how can I move through them?[10:11] Anger, fear, and emotional friction may rise as old patterns surface. Stay present, observe with equanimity, and don't retreat from intensity. On the other side of discomfort lies deeper self-trust, clarity, and authentic power. The support is real, even if it feels challenging in the moment.Ready to Step Into Your Bravest Self?This New Moon isn't just another lunar event—it's a cosmic invitation to align with your soul's truth, shed outdated roles, and build a future rooted in trust and depth.

Recipe Card (can be a visual of an actual recipe card for blog or content on website)   Preparation: Take stock of your current situation to know where you began. 1 Full cup of gratitude 2 hours of meditation 6 spoonfuls of daily practices (x2) A hearty handful of boundaries A sprinkling of laughter Stir Clockwise while smiling and holding a vision of living a life you enjoy.   Repeat for no less than 10 weeks, then revisit your current state, your vision, and account for progress. Celebrate your accomplishments and continue until you allow purpose to set in.    **********   Making a recipe card like this might sound kind of funny for something as ephemeral as Joy or living a Joyful Life.  But what if Joy wasn't something elusive? Most of us chasing Joy think of it like the wings of a butterfly.  Something beautiful that you cannot touch. And like those wings, if you do touch them, they are destroyed.   What if it was something you could actually touch and not only feel its tangibility- but build beneath you like the firm foundation of a house?  I'm here to tell you that you can, and the recipe is quite available to you with a little bit of commitment to the discipline of the practice of know thyself.  First to my butterfly wing analogy, the reason many people think Joy and enjoyment are elusive, and that experiencing joy (like touching butterfly wings) destroys it, is because most people are chasing Happiness.  Happiness is an external fleeting thing that depends on factors outside ourselves.  And the other side of the Happiness coin is sadness.  Take, for example, you place all your expectations for happiness on a relationship with a significant other.  And you are in that relationship and everything is all perfect in your life because someone loves you and accepts you and wants to do things with you.  This is Happiness you say.  Then one day that person says I'm leaving, or that person dies, or that person changes because of some factor outside of your control and the relationship ends.   Now you are sad.  You are sadder than you ever were before the relationship because for awhile you had The Thing you thought made you happy.  And in a way you are right.  You touched the butterfly's wings and it couldn't fly anymore, and it died.  Now you have no more feeling of Happy - you have the memory of it, the longing for it.  But you no longer have it so that attachment to this past state of Happy you lost now makes you Sad because it is draining your today (like a leak in a boat).     I watch this play out with my partner every time he speaks of his past fiance who left him because he stopped fulfilling her narcissist needs.  He has this attachment to that belief in that with her, when he was in the peak of his health, in the peak of this happiness having all these activities with this other built purely on external circumstances that He was Happy.  And maybe he was Happy.  For a moment, because he bought her the right ring, he took her to dance in the right place, he provided everything she needed so that she could get on her feet, save for a house, make a down payment and leave him when she didn't need him anymore.  And then his Happy came crashing down, when the lie was revealed and she left him because his usefulness to her ended - putting him in a pit of depression that caused him to harm himself with alcohol and other choices due to the severe sadness felt after the high of Happy.     Now today, he isn't in that depression anymore, we are in a healthy relationship of exchange co-creating together, but I can still see that attachment to a past version of himself when he believes he was Happy.  Because in that past he had health (and no liver disease) and he had for this brief moment some combination of external factors (fleeting as they were) that made everything “Perfect.”  So now, this attachment to a past version of himself when he was quote/unquote Happy inhibits his ability to fully experience his present moment and the amazing life he and I are creating.  He is working on it, and acknowledges his attachment challenges, and having physical limitations is a real obstacle,- which is why finding our inner source of Joy (and thus resilience) is so essential.    Ok, let's talk about Joy again and how it is different from Happiness.   Joy is not ephemeral and intangible.  Further, Joy is not Happiness.  Happiness is external and its opposite is Sadness.  So the happier you are, when the source of that happiness leaves you the sadder you get.  It is cause and effect and the hermetic principle of rhythm.  One extreme always swings back to the other like a teeter totter or those sets of silver balls that click on your desk.   Joy is built in your life from within and is not dependent on external factors.    My recipe card is not facetious. It is true.  Just like laying a foundation and building something - you go through a specific set of actions consistently with commitment to yourself for the sake of yourself, and you can build a joyful life and create a tangible indestructible foundation of joy in your life such that when something awful happens you have the resilience and fortitude and unshakable joy in your life that you will recover and likely thrive in spite of the awful thing versus being thrown in a pit of despair and sadness.    So let's walk through this recipe.    Gratitude - One Full cup of gratitude. “Thank you for everything you have given me, everything taken away, and everything I have left.”  Gratitude is cultivated by practice but it bears the best possible fruit.  Scientific studies show that it rewires your brain creating new neural pathways such that it shifts your perspective.  Story after story shows people not only surviving awful situations but thriving through them because they have gratitude.   So you MUST have a gratitude practice to create a joyful life.   Meditation - clearing the mind and connecting to source. We must clear away monkey mind so that we can know who we are and what we actually want free from the trappings of all the shoulds and programming of the collective consciousness.    Meditation is a learned practice as well, and there are so many methods - active, passive, moving, silent - they ALL HELP.  Every single one of them.  The key is you must do it. Study after study shows meditation as a game changer in anyone's life who applies themself to it.  Same as gratitude it creates new pathways in the brain that allow stillness and new ways of perceiving and being which all equal new thought patterns and ways to access our joy.  The recommended daily allotment of Meditation is two hours a day.  But commitment to a meditation practice, even if a few minutes a day is an essential element to a Joyful life.  6 Daily Practices - I call these Rituals that help you learn how to manage your own personal will and power.  Your will to not be pushed and pulled by the forces external to you for good or ill.   In my practice as a Guide in the Lineage of King Salomon with the Modern Mystery School International we teach Spirituality as a science.  When you take the Empower Thyself Class & choose the path of Initiation we give you six daily practices to complete every morning and evening that combined with meditation will provide you the means to strengthen your will and thus understand how you are choosing or not choosing (i.e. exercising your will) in this life and how that is adding up to the fruits of what you see around you. For me the six daily simple practices gave me the means to understand how much of other people's stuff I was taking on as my own.  I learned by doing the daily practices that I didn't need to take on these things as my own.  So I was able to energetically learn how to hold my boundaries without guilt or shame so I was able to let go of so much that was not serving me and start to consciously choose things that bring in more enjoyment to my life. It empowered me to no longer be a victim of my subconscious (i.e. to get out of my own way).  Boundaries - which brought me a hearty helping of boundaries.  Initially, like everything else I'm talking about here had to be practiced until they became real and more natural for me to set.   Boundaries take will. They take the desire to set them.  They take an acknowledgement and a discernment that we do not have to engage with the drama others put in front of us on giant platters.   Boundaries take an acknowledgement that even though we can do it, it doesn't mean we should.   Boundaries are not walls that block everyone out.  But they are an acknowledgment that you do not have to take on the thoughts or ideas of others or do everything that they want you to do.  One can start by putting boundaries on your time.  Time blocking for meditation, for exercise, for fun time, for family time.  These are something you can fake until you make them because practicing will give you the results to realize you can.  And the first time you set a boundary it will feel weird and uncomfortable, but it will result in something freeing, releasing you of the other things pulling on your energy.  Laughter is a practice that brings lightness to your life.  It truly is the best medicine. So find ways to laugh at the world, ourselves, together and with others.   Laughter has always been a natural instinct of mine and I've been lucky enough to surround myself with those who have phenomenal senses of humor.  But also my teachers I have chosen Know laughter is an essential practice for a joyful life.  So they purposefully add it as a tool to their teaching style because of the light it generates from within a human being.   So, actively seek laughter. And practice laughter.  Especially if times are tough.     Clockwise to stir it all together.    Clockwise is the energy of building.  So I say always work your magick by stirring in a clockwise direction.  This makes for great recipes in the kitchen as well!  Blend all of these practices together holding a vision for what you want to have more of, or what you want to experience.    Visual to pick a direction.  If you do not know where you are going you are never going to get there.  If you are always running away you are never going toward anything.  And you have to pick and visualize a destination to get there.   So, an essential element of having a joyful life is visualizing some aspects of what that enjoyable life looks like.  So you can actually start moving towards creating that.  What are some things/aspects/characteristics of that life that you can start taking action toward by using all the other tools I just discussed? And eventually after practicing all of the above in sets of 10 weeks or 3 months you are going to find yourself feeling not only joyful but purposeful.  Last but not least in my recipe I note to Prepare by taking stock of your current state.  This will allow you to know your progress when you make it.  Which you will.  For the six daily rituals and practices that help you build your will and to Know Thyself as the divine powerful being that you are you can access these by receiving the life activation and participating in the Empower Thyself Class & Initiation.  If you are local to me visit my website calendar on angellatterell.com  to see my next offering or call or email me to set up an appointment to chat about them further.  If you are not local to me, do the same and I will connect you to a guide in your area who can work with you.   Meanwhile, anyone can practice gratitude with paper and pen and start a meditation practice.  I have tools for both including a workbook and frequent Wednesday evening meditations online that are completely free.  If you want help with anything - I can help with that!  Reach out anytime and let's get you moving forward to create your recipe for a joyful life!

BEST OF TST: Many things come in threes, from the concept of body-mind-spirit to birth-life-death, and thus the various trinities found around the world from the dominant Christian conception to the Indian Trimurti. There is a universality to this truth, which can be found in everything from mass shootings to plane crashes. The spiritual side of these things is the human side, too, because when horrible things happen we see ourselves and loved ones in the dead; we pray, donate, hold candles, and think about life and death. The long-standing conspiratorial element to this fact has also just been reinforced by former FBI agent Jonathan Gilliam, who was on Fox News over the weekend to say that the recent plane-helicopter crashes “will often happen in threes or more,” and so we should expect to possibly see another one in the coming weeks. This belief that things happen in threes is rooted in psychological patterns, pop culture, and cultural superstitions, where people perceive a connection between events due to our tendency to recognize these patterns. This idea is reinforced by the significance of the number three in various aspects of life, such as religion and folklore, which adds to its mystery. Despite plane crashes becoming less common, the more attention we place on them the more even minor incidents, like a small plane in Palo Alto running off the runway over the weekend, become proof of the triplicity mystique. If another larger incident occurs, the Palo Alto story may be forgotten. The pattern in societal and psychological terms comes in threes before the cycle restarts: shock, curiosity, and digging for answers that never come (outside personal bias) leads to disinterest from short attention spans so that we forget, or think we have all the answers, and so move on to the next shocking episode be it a storm, assassination, shooting, or plane crash. When analyzing these types of stories, context matters too, along with numbers and names which become like reading the green code of the Matrix. This was certainly the case with #286 and Luigi Mangione. The American Airlines flight 5342, which took off from Kansas's Dwight D. Eisenhower National Airport for DC's Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport was carrying 64 people, while the UH-60M Black Hawk helicopter, from the 12th Air Battalion, that slammed into its side was carrying 3 - (67 overall = 13). ATC attempted to contact the helicopter prior to collision, but after a short response and silence, “13 seconds later” disaster struck. The runway cleared for landing was 33, which was shut down after. The plane type was a CRJ-700.The Learjet 55 that crashed in Philadelphia was carrying 6 crew and a child, for a total of 7 deaths, although other outlets have reported the child's mother died in the crash too. 19 others were injured. Others reported seven died in total, including a person on the ground. The FAA initially reported two people onboard, but corrected the report. The little girl had received medical care at a Shriners Hospital for Children 12 miles from the airport. The plane was headed to Tijuana, after a layover in Missouri at the Springfield-Branson National Airport. It seems slightly more than coincidence that the two major aviation incidents this past week have a connection to Super Bowl 59 next week. The Philadelphia Eagles will play the Kansas City Chiefs, who are actually located in Kansas City Missouri, a city split between two states. Some of the skaters onboard the AA flight were from Missoula, Montana. One of the major game storylines of the big game is that Patrick Mahomes has passed Joe Montana for second most playoff wins behind Tom Brady at 35 with his 7 Super Bowls. As already discussed on a previous show: “If we can pull a mythological narrative together… it could be between the Secret Chiefs, i.e., Deep State, and the symbolic bird of America, i.e., the eagle. The big game is being played at Caesars super dome, named after the entertainment casino company that uses a golden caesar for their logo. As this relates to politics we find Trump pushing the golden age of America narrative just weeks before the game, and we find the orange-yellow man fulfilling the promise of restoring order and even expanding America's territories, pricelessly what the first Augustus promised Rome. And funny enough, this Roman period was called Pax Romana, the golden age.” It is also odd that around Super Bowl time these types of aviation incidents, and some would argue sacrifices, are common in recent years. In January 2024, a Boeing 737-9 MAX made an emergency landing after the door plug blew out mid-flight, causing a cascade of criticism and public awareness. Just after the game there was a massacre at the winning celebration. As reported on a previous show: “NBC News reported at 9:44am Thursday 15th, 2024, 23 were injured and 2 were taken into custody = 25. At 10:17am Yahoo reported 22 injured and 3 taken into custody = 25. The numbers 25-22 was the final score of the game. The 3 arrested were out of a group of 10 questioned = 13, and 10-3 was the Halftime score of the Super Bowl.”During the week of the big game in 2023 a series of UFOs were tracked, shot down, and reported on in a national hysteria. Going back to 2020, January 26, the Sikorsky S-76B helicopter carrying Kobe Bryant and his 13-year old daughter crashed, killing 9 in total. It's odd enough Kobe was previously in a commercial for Nike where there was a helicopter crash via a bomb, or that Legends of Chamberlain Heights seemingly predicted the same incident just a few years before, but consider the following: the Sikorsky S-76B (SB 7+6=13) that killed Kobe was also meant to transport VIPs like himself, in likeness to the Black Hawk in Washington which was designed to carry VIPs. Both incidents occurred just prior to the Super Bowl. Sikorsky is also the same company that has MATRIX(tm) autonomy systems for Black Hawk helicopters, something DARPA was planning to test in 2025. In other words, remote controlled systems, which, coupled with the lack of response from the helicopter to ATC, formulates a conspiracy that either the technology failed or it has been used to create an incident and sacrifice the pilots in the process; the helicopter was officially on a “proficiency training flight.” Considering the recent drone hysteria, too, it is likely these objects were authorized by the FAA as an experiment to test AI-autonomy and situational awareness as part of a project called Convergence. On the other hand, viral conspiracy suggests there was no plane in Philadelphia because there was limited to no debris, essentially meaning it was a missile instead. The plane, however, was tipped at 45 degrees traveling at over 460mph and depending at 5-10 thousand feet per 60 seconds. For a small plane, with explosive medical equipment, it makes sense the entire thing was incinerated, or that the limited debris was exploded outward, not inward, far away from the crater. “I think the most important bit of evidence that we've seen so far is the doorbell video showing the aircraft descending at an incredible angle,” Arthur Wolk, an aviation expert, told NBC10. “Almost 45 degrees, which means that the airplane was out of control. No pilot would voluntarily descend any airplane at that angle. That probably resulted in the airplane striking the ground at over 400 knots and probably 5 or even 10,000 feet a minute going down that fast. So, something overtook this flight crew.”*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.
