Hazel discusses the "taboo" subject of money, the importance of open conversations about finances with significant others, children, and friends. Hazel talks about early experiences with money shape our understanding and relationship with it, using personal anecdotes to illustrate the value of earning and appreciating money. KEY TAKEAWAYS Importance of Money Conversations: Engaging in open discussions about money with significant others, children, and friends is crucial for understanding financial situations and opportunities. Avoiding these conversations can lead to missed opportunities and misunderstandings. Personal Experiences Shape Perspectives: Individual experiences with money, whether growing up in a financially constrained environment or having money readily available, significantly influence one's relationship with money. Sharing these experiences can foster better understanding and learning. Teaching Financial Responsibility: Introducing children to the value of money through earning and saving helps them appreciate its worth. Practical experiences, such as working for money or investing, can instill a sense of responsibility and understanding of financial concepts. Encouraging Financial Literacy: Conversations about money should include discussions on spending habits, saving, and earning. This can help individuals recognise their financial behaviors and make informed decisions about their financial futures. Breaking the Taboo: Money should not be a taboo subject. By challenging the stigma around discussing finances, individuals can improve their financial literacy and overall quality of life, leading to healthier financial habits and better financial outcomes. BEST MOMENTS "If you're not having healthy conversations about money... you could be quite frankly doing yourself a disservice." "Money habits are formed very early on. And if they're never challenged, then you may never realise the potential that you have on the financial front." "Just giving children things... isn't necessarily the best thing for them." "He said to us that he really appreciated it in a totally different way than if he had just been given it." "It's time to have that conversation to start with, with yourself and then secondly, with other people."

ABOUT THE HOST Having started her career as a professional, classical musician, Hazel de Kloe also had a personal quest to become financially free. She and her husband built a successful, multi-million-pound property business, next to their own careers, but soon realised that true freedom doesn't JUST come from being financially independent… Having meant so much to her family, it has been her passion ever since, to inspire, educate and empower others on their journeys towards this 'Holy Grail'. During one particular property mentoring session back in 2009, she had a powerful recognition of exactly how to facilitate this. Nicknamed now, The Wealth Whisperer, she has a unique way of getting to the crux of what is needed to help fulfil this quest.

*This is the Free Content version of my interview with Dr. Tristán Kapp. To access the full interview, please consider joining Tier 1 by becoming a Patreon member; alternatively, this episode is also available for a one-time purchase at Patreon. www.patreon.com/RejectedReligion.My guest for the month of June is Dr. Tristán Kapp.Tristán is an interdisciplinary researcher, writer, and speaker specialising in comparative religion, esotericism, secularism, and conspirituality. His work examines new and alternative religious movements, secularism, and the intersections of religion, politics, and sexuality. He holds a PhD in Religious Studies from the University of Pretoria, where his thesis explored sex magick as post-theistic spirituality across Eastern, Western, and African esotericism. He also holds an MDiv (focused on Systematic & Historical Theology) and BDiv (focused on Dogmatics & Christian Ethics).As an advocate for the normalisation and destigmatisation of secularism, alternative religions, and marginalised spiritualities, Tristán engages in public education, media commentary, and community support. His insights have been featured in podcasts, news media, and academic conferences worldwide.He is also the founder of Alterity Counselling, a virtual counselling practice supporting individuals from diverse spiritual and non-religious backgrounds across the globe. His non-profit advocacy with the South African Pagan Rights Alliance (SAPRA)—as an executive member, spokesperson, and interfaith officer—along with his community paralegal work, informs his approach to research, activism, and counselling. In this interview, Tristán discusses portions of his captivating dissertation, titled, “Secret self-knowledge: considering sex magick as post-theistic spirituality in Eastern, Western, and African Esotericism.” Highlights of this engaging discussion include:- Tristán's ideas about a ‘post-theistic spiritual practice,' that distances itself from an external deity and moves toward a non-traditional or non-religious spirituality, with creativity in terms of co-existence between the divine and the individual;- The underrepresentation of Eastern and African regions with regard to esotericism;- The negativity surrounding sexuality and the expression of it, including taboos and fetishes (drawing for example on Foucault);- The inclusion of Conspirituality in this discourse, and how it relates to the notion of the Self;- Examples of Eastern esoteric sexual practices and what these offer with regard to knowledge of the Self;- The issue of colonialism and slavery as it relates to Africana esoteric religions;- How sexuality and the Self are understood in both African Traditional Religion and the Sangoma Tradition;- The syncretic expressions of the African diaspora as found in African-American Conjure or Supernaturalism;- The notion of ubuntu, that states a person is a person because of other people;- His conclusions after all of his research and his future endeavors.PROGRAM NOTESDissertation: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/386987710_Secret_self-knowledge_considering_sex_magick_as_post-theistic_spirituality_in_Eastern_Western_and_African_Esotericism
Menopause is a natural yet demanding transition that millions of women navigate while working, parenting, and maintaining their lives. Behind the silence lie debilitating hot flashes, sleepless nights, and emotional turbulence—too often endured alone in a society that dismisses this phase. For women supporting families and careers, these symptoms threaten livelihoods. It's time to normalize conversations, reshape workplaces, and build support systems that reflect this universal female experience. On the show: Heyang, Steve Hatherly & Niu Honglin

Show Notes: December 8th, 1980. New York City. John Lennon is gunned down outside The Dakota, and the world loses a Beatle. When police arrest his killer, Mark David Chapman, they find him carrying a copy of The Catcher in the Rye—a book that, for him, blurred the lines between fiction and murder. In this episode of Taboo Treasures, we explore the haunting artifact at the center of this infamous crime. From the history of The Beatles and J.D. Salinger's iconic novel to Chapman's obsession and New York's dark night, we unpack the symbolism of that paperback. We'll also follow the journey of this chilling collectible—right to the auction block.

Beloved,I swear, every time I turn around I am channeling and discovering yet - another suppressed truth hidden from our inheritance. Today, it's not TABOO, its full of wonder and intimacy.Everyone says sexuality is about intimacy, pleasure, or reproduction.I believed that too—and for a long time, I felt separated from my deepest creative power.But something inside shifted after learning about the divine, the energy of creation and how we've got SEXUALITY ALL WRONG. I'm not talking strictly SEX.When I began studying the ancient science of the womb and DNA, I discovered our sacred energy is a portal—meant for unity, healing, and the activation of higher wisdom.Here's why reclaiming your sexual sovereignty may transform everything.Reclaiming your sexual power isn't just about intimacy—it's about activating the deepest creative force within you.For centuries, spiritual seekers have sensed something missing: a disconnect from sacred sexuality and the true potential of the womb.Here's the core challenge.Most of us grew up with distorted ideas about sex and creative energy.We're taught to focus on physical pleasure or reproduction, but not on the multi-dimensional wisdom encoded within us.The original purpose of sexual energy runs deeper than we've imagined.It's a frequency technology, designed to bridge souls, awaken dormant DNA, and heal fragmentation.The womb—present energetically in all beings—isn't only for birthing children.It's a portal for visions, timelines, and planetary renewal.Throughout history, this sacred power has been masked and misunderstood.Ancient teachers who mastered these mysteries saw their wisdom suppressed and their archetypes rewritten.The loss of this divine feminine wisdom left a lingering imprint of shame, division, and disconnection Yet the invitation now is to remember.Sexual sovereignty means consciously stewarding your creative life force—in union with love, truth, and source.It's the process of healing old wounds, clearing ancestral trauma, and embodying the original unity blueprint.This isn't just esoteric theory.Through breathwork, sacred ceremony, clear intention, and holographic readings, you can access your soul's archives, heal generational wounds, and awaken previously dormant strands of DNA.Transformation truly happens.Intuitive gifts reawaken, your sense of purpose repairs, and you begin to participate in planetary healing—simply by reclaiming the multi-dimensional power of your sexual energy and womb.If you're ready to experience this shift, consider trying a guided holographic reading or exploring the Oracle Journey app.Let's restore wholeness, ignite creativity, and anchor new possibilities for ourselves and the planet.If you are ready to experience this shift, consider a guided holographic reading or explore the Oracle Journey app.It's time to restore wholeness, ignite creativity, and anchor new possibilities for ourselves and for the planet.Reference

Show Notes: In 1997, the world was stunned by the mass suicide of 39 members of the Heaven's Gate cult in San Diego. But one detail stood out in every photo of that tragic scene—the matching black Nike Decade sneakers on each body. In this episode of Taboo Treasures, we explore how these now-infamous shoes became a dark symbol of the cult's final ritual. We trace the origins of Heaven's Gate, led by Marshall Applewhite, the apocalyptic beliefs tied to the Hale-Bopp comet, and the eerie details of that last night—right down to the poisoned applesauce.

Comics and Kicks is such a unique blend—what was the “origin story” behind launching this podcast, and how long had it been percolating?2. You've got deep roots in both hip-hop and geek culture—how do you see comic books and sneakers as forms of self-expression, and where do they overlap for you?3. The show dives into conversations with creators, collectors, and innovators—what voices are you most excited to spotlight that we might not hear from in typical mainstream media?4. What were the first comic book and first pair of kicks that made you feel something—like, “This is part of who I am”?5. You've done work with Marvel and even co-created a Native American superhero—how has your experience as a comics creator shaped the way you approach these podcast conversations?6. The sneaker world can be just as passionate and obsessive as the comic book scene. How do you navigate the hype, history, and authenticity in both spaces?7. As someone who's broken barriers in music, representation, and now podcasting—what does success look like for Comics and Kicks? What impact do you hope it leaves behind?8. If you could design your dream crossover—a comic series and sneaker drop happening side by side—what characters and shoe would headline that launch?
Tobin and Leroy were shocked when Brittney admitted she had no idea who Jim Leyland is — and you already know what that means… she had to put herself in the box! Safe to say, she wasn't thrilled. Thankfully, she redeemed herself slightly by proving she does know the legend Howard Schnellenberger. But that was just the beginning... The silly sauce was flowing in the final hour as Froggboy hosted a revolutionary edition of Radio Taboo — a battle of the sexes showdown with Jfig and Brittney vs. Tobin and Leroy. The trash talk? Elite. The guesses? Questionable. The laughter? Non-stop.
