Notes From the New World

Ashley B. Jones is BACK for Part 2 (Part 1 is HERE ). This ep is about becoming obsessed with yourself to attract soulmate lovers, vibe amplifiers vs. vibe killers, why repelling people is magnetic, and so much more. Come listen to us yap about: The "Favorite Self" framework: why the real magnetism gap is between you and the version of yourself you haven't fully become yet (!!!) Why...

I've been obsessed with Ashley B. Jones since the moment our orbits collided —after multiple readings she's given me and approximately one million hours of conversation, I had to get her on the pod. Ashley is a psychic, philosopher, mentor, and artist, and the creator of Magnetic Habits Bingo 101 and the "Favorite Self" framework. We get into: The five spiritual parts of yourse...

If you've ever felt like you're running on fumes despite having a top-tier morning routine fueled by an iced matcha and perfect sleep score, creatively stifled to the point where you're Googling $8,000 retreats on the coast of Italy, or like your marketing is hitting a dead-end despite "doing all the right things", you might just be living out of alignment with your Human...

Someone asked me a question last summer that stopped me cold in my tracks: instead of showing how anti everything you are, what are you FOR? What world are YOU actually building? I sat with this question for three months during my sabbatical in Europe . In today's episode, I share three different arcs I'm exploring: Circular economies, capping your income and redistributing wealth, and T...

We all have that one friend who we sprint to when we need a breakup text drafted, spruce up our vanilla cover letter, or edit a flimsy apology, because we know how much words carry weight. They're spells. Today, Lois Mac, THE word wizard who focuses on strategic communication layered with uncensored expression, comes on to help humans stop performing expression and start saying the damn thing...

Visionaries, this one's for you. For the ones who hold the vision of the future, the ones constantly evolving in a market that rewards sameness, and the sensitive souls who feel it all, aching to scream their message from the rooftop, but end up diluting their message for palatability, listen in. Nina Chin — Identity Mentor, Creation Consultant, and fellow 6/2 visionary — joins me to talk abo...

As social media seems to descend into a dystopia of tech overlords dominating algorithms, our attention, and our self-esteem, it's worth asking: should we really stay on these platforms... and why??? KP Pilley — the social strategist behind the popular "9-Grid" offer — joins me to talk about taking your power back on social media, building ethical content worlds, and making it stupi...

What happens when you let philosophy escape the ivory tower and live in your body? Today's guest is Ximena, a Mexican eco-philosopher who ditched academic elitism for something far more dangerous: thinking as a radical act of love. We get into why rationality alone made her chronically ill (yes, really), how capitalism hijacked our concept of time, and why resistance fueled by joy might be th...

It's time to breakup with watered-down content and instead, ask our people to rise with us. In this episode, I announce the podcast rebrand (finally!), why I'm going all-in on 2-3 episodes per week, and what happens when you delete social apps from your phone for just ONE week. Spoiler: total clarity. I dive deep into why Rosalía's Lux , Sinners , and Heated Rivalry are proof that a...

One of my besties Shelly and I pick up RIGHT where we left off from last episode. We talk at 1.5x speed, giggle and kick our feet like 14 year olds at a boyband concert, say "like" 4013 times, and get even further into the series that's causing a cultural phenomenon. Some questions explored: What did we think of the absolute QUEENS in the show? Why does this all feel so REAL? What&a...

Folks... we’ve been indoctrinated. Heated Rivalry brainwashed us. As someone who is EXTREMELY contrarian (Aquarius Sun), hatesss hype, an absolute TV/movie SNOB, and is pretty suss of fandoms… I promise you, the hype is beyond worth it. It’s SO worth it, I had to debrief for nearly 3 hours with one of my besties, Shelly , to discuss what kind of glitch in the matrix is happening right now. What dr...

I'm pulling back the curtain on my 2025 business insights... nosy bitches, this one's for you!  I share the ultimate the plot twist: I made almost the exact same money as 2024, while taking a 3-month sabbatical, working essentially part-time, and living like an eccentric writer.

Put on your spacesuit - we're headed to the moon with this conversation. Today, I get INTO IT with Giana Cerasia about anti-binary leadership, rejecting niche culture, long-term inner work, and creating containers that hold the full complexity of being human. Giana walks listeners through her work all rooted in playing with paradox. Sexy as fuck. Themes from the episode: How businesses functi...

Today I sit down with digital nomad + "U.S. dropout" Bianca Lynch to talk about ditching the matrix, living abroad for less than half the cost of the U.S., finding flight deals that seem fake, and redefining what “freedom” really means. Bianca breaks down the hacks, mindset shifts, and lived experiences that help her cross borders without breaking the bank. Episode highlights: The best t...

Two Chelseas jump on a mic and proceed to dismantle everything you thought you knew about sales, pricing, and running a business under capitalism. Chelsea Quint (aka The Business Whisperer) joins me for a conversation about the stuff most business coaches won't touch: how to price yourself without losing your soul, why that $5/hour VA in the Philippines isn't the flex you think it is, an...

In this episode, I dive deep into the cultural firestorm surrounding Taylor Swift and Bad Bunny — two modern day titans who've become lightning rods for conversations about identity, belonging, and makes me wonder all the things we project onto celebrities.  I'll be honest: I outlined this episode about 40 different times because I kept realizing this isn't really about music qualit...
