This is the Ancient Intelligence Podcast, a show that explores the fundamental ancient dynamics that exist between men and women. With the technology and automation of our world, our human nature remains fully intact. The constant question on my heart is what is the ultimate harmony that can be achieved between men and women and how do we get there? We explore culture, history, society, evolutionary psychology, biology, religious and spiritual teachings, and more.

#52 | Why Women Love a Masculine Container? 05.08.2024

What is a masculine container? Why does it matter? Why do women want to be in one? I’m in a salsa container, for dancing, not for eating :) and it’s one of the best things in my life.

#50 | The Masculine Psyche w/ Anya Shakh 14.04.2024

What matters to me is men finding their worth. Why? Because when they don’t, life is dark. As a daughter I lived it. I have always known that the answer is not to blame them, they do enough of that internally. The answer is simply to love them. It took a while to get there, but over the last few weeks I realized I’ve been heading there before I even understood the why or how. I opened an old sketc...

#47 | People Can Change, Really w/ Mike Urso 01.03.2024
