Mysterious Studies

What if shadow work doesn't need to be a heavy process of fixing your flaws but an opportunity to unleash your power and follow your passion? In this episode, we meet Vee Asimov, a shadow worker and existential detective who has spent years mapping the terrain between psychology and spirituality, grounded in her own lived experience. We talk about the messy reality of embodiment—why journaling can...

What happens when the spiritual search stops being about accumulating knowledge and starts being about actually inhabiting your body? In this expansive episode, we meet with Jeanne Panucci, a spiritual guide and coach whose journey began with a deceptively simple question at age six: "What are we doing here?" That question carried her through careers in business, education, and interior design, th...

We often treat "reality" like one single thing to be captured or pinned down. But what if we instead view reality as a process ? In this episode, I attempt to describe my view of reality as a messy, living dance, or a process of ongoing unfolding. From the power (and pressure) of believing our minds shape our world, to the hard lessons of when logic alone can't break a panic loop, I share personal...

In this episode, I’m circling back to Astrology , which provides (some of) the foundational roots that Human Design and The Gene Keys are built upon. Talking about Astrology feels a bit tricky for me. For years, I was incredibly skeptical, even critical. Maybe it was because of that school textbook memory where humans were labeled "superstitious" for believing planets could affect us. Or maybe it...

When was the last time you asked your body what it needed before asking your calendar what it demanded? In this very first guest episode, we meet musician, voice teacher, and creator Kenzie Main for an insightful, vulnerable and playful conversation about breaking free from the rigid scripts we've been taught. From healing childhood wounds around creative expression, to discovering the power of wo...

Introducting the Gene Keys: a gentle yet powerful framework that helps you navigate the chaos of daily life by pausing and contemplating the wisdom that's already present in your life. During my second parental leave in 2025, I found my shadow behaviors again surfacing with startling clarity. In all the overwhelm I experienced, I needed something different than the information-heavy approach I kne...

Is Human Design just another restrictive way to categorize ourselves, or can it be a "helpful box" that gives you the language to understand your own energy and navigate life with less friction? In this episode of Mysterious Studies , I share my personal journey with Human Design, a system I approached with skepticism but found unexpectedly useful. From navigating postpartum anxiety and parenting...

Welcome to Season 2 of Mysterious Studies!

In so doing, this episode sets the scene for upcoming episodes where I will go deeper into these frameworks, one by one. If you want to enlist my perspectiv...

This is an exercise connected to the Dreams, Visions and Imaginings episode. In this imagination exercise we will create an inner space using your imagination. This will be a space that will function like an inner home or harbor where you can come to seek guidance from the inner/inbetween realms or come to practice using your inner senses. A space like this proved to be very valuable for me in my...

This is an exercise connected to the Dreams, Visions and Imaginings episode. In this exercise, I share a kind of “diagnostic tool” for getting to know, and testing out what your capability to visualize or imagine looks like. Is it easier for you to see or hear or feel? Do you have a way of visualizing in images, or as smells or just energies? In this exercise, I will first guide you into a meditat...

Dreams are real experiences, and there is a different type of knowledge that can be gained by closing the eyes and listening inwards. In this episode I share some of my first experiences of learning to trust the inner voice/intuition/subconscious. See the video version of this episode on YouTube . Connected to this episode, I also share two imagination exercises: one for connecting with your inner...

Can we ever truly expand our view beyond our view? I don't know, but I seem to have a need to try. See the video version of this episode on YouTube (This time I have even created some visuals for the different symbols of the frameworks I discuss. But, just listening also works, if you prefer to do that.) In this episode I discuss two frameworks that can be used as a way to become aware of, and to...

If knowledge is like an all-you-can-eat buffet, what would you eat? In this episode, I discuss the complex subject of what knowledge is and how it can be approached.

Sand Talk by Tyson Yunkaporta (A very fascinating book about indigenous knowledge, and much more.) The Reflecti...

In this short episode, I share a quick and simple approach for clearing excess energy and calling back your own energy using the breath.
