Hello Universe

One of Eva's favorite conversations from last year! We sat down with Diana Harper—relational astrologer, poet of the cosmos, and philosophical firestarter—to explore a radically different take on healing, belonging, and what it means to be in true relationship.   This isn’t a conversation about “doing the work” in isolation. It’s a remembrance of your interconnectedness with everything: your ances...

This week, we’re bringing you a deeply real, wildly tender conversation with Ned Buskirk — founder of You’re Going to Die — an artist, grief guide, and all-around wise soul who is not afraid to look directly into the darkness… and still choose love. Together we dive into: How grief work can be healing — but also a sneaky trap for self-worth The quiet ways life tries to harden us, and how to stay (...

In this very special episode, we sit down with Eva’s personal mentor of two years, Amma Thanasanti. Formerly living as a fully ordained Buddhist nun for 28 years, today Amma guides others in the path of embodied awakening—bringing together deep meditation, nervous system repair, and attachment healing to help people feel truly safe, seen, and at home in themselves. Through Amma’s stories—including...

Two years ago, Eva packed up her life in Portland, left a breakup in the rearview mirror, and hit the open road to start over in Austin, Texas… solo. What followed was an epic road trip, equal parts grief, healing, awe, and badassery. In this reissued episode, Eva shares the behind-the-scenes of that transitional season—one where everything was falling apart, and somehow also coming together bette...

What does it mean to hold the unbearable complexities of the world without shutting down or lashing out?  In this rich, heartfelt conversation, Eva and Kyley sit down with Ellen Wong , entheogenic death companion and host of the Mum podcast, to explore how we can stay present with grief, righteous anger, and the impossible paradoxes of life. Together, we grapple with questions like: How do we show...

This show is brought to you by our inner teenagers.  With surprise and delight, we wound up reminiscing about the 90s, reveling in fashion-as-play and power, and generally invited our inner teen selves to run the show this week.

This week, dharma teacher Cara Lai joins us on the show to explore the misunderstood power of yin (or feminine) energy—and what it really means to do less without abandoning yourself. We cover rest, rage, spiritual bypassing, chronic illness, and the sacred art of screaming in the woods and putting our boulders down. Also: why Ali Wong is the medicine for us all.  https://www.instagram.com/caratru...

What if you don’t see anything when you meditate? What if your intuition doesn’t show up the way everyone says it’s supposed to? This week, we answer a question from Spiritual FOMO—someone who’s craving a deeper connection to their intuition but feels stuck when it comes to visualization. Re: intuition. If you’ve ever felt like the only one not “seeing things” during meditation or wondered whether...

Can you truly love your body and still want to change it? This week, we answer a listener question from someone who deeply loves herself… but also kinda wants to change it. Does getting Botox or hitting the gym mean you’ve sold out your self-love? Is there room for both radical acceptance and the desire to feel even hotter? We dig into vanity, desire, body politics, and why self-love doesn’t have...

What happens when astrology starts to feel like a rigid set of rules, instead of a tool for self-discovery? Sofia Adler joins us to talk about how astrology can create anxiety instead of insight, and how it can become a box we feel stuck inside, rather than a relationship to ourselves and the stars that we are living. Sofia also shares about her current work with Emotion Code and energy work, and...

This week, Eva brings a vulnerable and relatable truth to the table: she’s been struggling with the belief that she’s too rigid—too controlling, too particular, too unwilling to let go. Maybe you’ve had that inner voice too: Why can’t I just chill? Why do I care so much? Why can’t I just go with the flow like everyone else? But once we started pulling on that thread, things got interesting. This c...

This week, our conversation about power takes us on a wild ride. We explore: • What we’re trying to be powerful about (and why) • How real power feels in the body and heart • Why power and surrender might actually be the same thing, or at the very least connected • and what becomes possible when we stop grasping and start allowing Plus: a fiery little detour into the systems of cruelty we’re witne...

Why does pleasure feel so scary sometimes? Why do we crave it—and then push it away? In this episode, we’re diving deep into the paradox of pleasure: why it’s often the thing we most want and most resist. We explore how pleasure isn’t just about indulgence—it’s a spiritual practice, a doorway to presence, and even a tool for ego dissolution. Some of the questions we ask: • What does it really mean...

Power is complicated—often seeming like a thing people used to hurt others.  But as we discover this week, the truth of power is, for Kyley & Eva, actually tied to silly fun and creative expression.  How can we tell the difference and how can we step into power that is generous?  FIREBRAND 🔥 https://www.kyleycaldwell.com/firebrand Enter Your Villain Era https://www.kyleycaldwell.com/villain-era E...
