The Dharma Diaries

Our first solocast. Summer is buried with work, so Christina takes a stab at explaining how to get back on our squares, how little the stuff we think matters actually does, and what's going on with the podcast. www.thedharmadiaries.com JOIN US ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/TheDharmaDiariesPodcast About Christina: www.christinarusca.com https://christinarusca.as.me About Summer: https://...

Tune in this time to hear Summer’s high-level (read: sans specific details) retelling of her time in a throuple (it didn’t last long), and how addiction can sometimes be aDICKtion and that’s nothing to be ashamed of. Also google “Mars rover has ADHD” for context if you’d like and check out Summer’s best-selling blockbuster (COMPELLING!) book of poetry on that site you know which one (or EMAIL her...

Summer’s “in it.” We talk about unmasking, sex workers, (can’t remember the phrase, “nom de plume),” Tinder, and how bliss is boring. Christina inexplicably manages to work bean references into the conversation twice. www.thedharmadiaries.com JOIN US ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/TheDharmaDiariesPodcast About Christina: www.christinarusca.com https://christinarusca.as.me About Summer: https:...

Here’s part two of Angela’s 2024 predictions. This episode covers the latter half of the year, and we talk about how the coming energy sets the stage for a collective birthing of a new paradigm and the potential changes that will start to usher in something new!

The first of two episodes breaking down what’s in store for 2024 from an astrology perspective. Pro tip: grab a notebook and a pen and jot down notes for each month so you can refer to them as you map out your year. In our experience, these things are scarily accurate and when you have a feel for the energy each month—the themes, the alignments, etc.—it can be a huge help in softening those tower...

We talk about cults and how not to end up in one, how to identify whether you already are in one, and how to proceed regardless. (Sorry these show notes are lame; one of us is down with the sickness.) www.thedharmadiaries.com JOIN US ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/TheDharmaDiariesPodcast About Christina: www.christinarusca.com https://christinarusca.as.me About Summer: https://linktr.ee/The....

In this episode we discuss faith in the unseen Universe, cultivating awareness, adjusting expectations, untangling our true selves from other people’s projections, and releasing arbitrary rules.   You can watch “Mr. Nobody” here or wherever you typically stream movies (if you still want to watch it after all our potential spoilers, but…seriously: watch it. It’s so good!). www.thedharmadiaries.com...

In this Thanksgiving episode, we give a couple pointers about navigating holiday gatherings…which would have been more useful to have PRIOR to T-Day, but time is an illusion anyway, sooo…yeah. Anyway, we also discuss eating our words, paradoxes, unsubscribing from societal constructs, speaking our own authentic truths, belonging vs fitting in, and being with each other in disagreement. Enjoy! The...

Christina gets uncharacteristically vulnerable about scarcity mindset, and we talk about navigating around the blocks in our paths to abundance.   Books referenced in this episode are A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle and  Existential Kink by Carolyn Elliott. You can also check out this episode Summer referenced with Noah Lampert.  www.thedharmadiaries.com JOIN US ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/Th...

We try to explain the concept of life as a video game and then Summer double salchows into the jump cut she experienced after the unexpected death of her boyfriend. Alternate title: “This Is What You Came For.” In case you’re looking for a deeper dive into some of the ideas we discussed—Jessa Reed, host of AOD, explains the ‘life as a video game’ concept in this episode . And here’s another episod...

A little more thorough introduction of your favorite podcast hosts. This is a long episode, but we’re condensing 91-ish years into like an hour and a half. So yeah—maybe save this one for a road trip or something. ✌🏼 www.thedharmadiaries.com JOIN US ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/TheDharmaDiariesPodcast About Christina: www.christinarusca.com https://christinarusca.as.me About Summer: https:...

Our inaugural episode contains all the caution labels you’ll need to decide how to proceed. There won’t be an exam later or anything, but for future purpose of events we chat about the warnings so no one can say they weren’t informed. Oh, and at some point we introduce ourselves. www.thedharmadiaries.com JOIN US ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/TheDharmaDiariesPodcast About Christina: www.chris...

A fun ramble about conditioning, programming, societal simulations, and other random reflections.

TMI warning!! Christina overshares with a gross story that eventually leads to a revelation. (We hit our mic stands a few times in this episode. We talk with our hands a lot. We’re expressive.

We sort of talk about rabbit holes. And the matrix. And New Orleans. It’s a multi-ingredient word salad for your listening pleasure.
