Unmasking with Cris Beasley

Note: You can listen here on Substack, Spotify , Apple, or wherever you get your podcasts. After a decade of fatigue topped off with a radical accidental overdose of Prozac, I had to rebuild my body and energetic system from nearly scratch. I tried a multitude of things. This morning attunement has become my rock. It takes inspiration from the many cultures that root themselves in time and space b...

I am working with anger right now—not rage, but clean anger that refuses to mask or perform safety for others. I will no longer pad the egos of privileged men or pretend I’m not angry to make conversations comfortable; I need to speak mano a mano with awake adults who can handle direct truth without requiring me to manage their vulnerability. It is not my job to protect anyone from the discomfort...

It’s bringing up so many really painful things that I haven’t known how to talk about. It feels important to locate myself in the context. I’m a white woman, very British, on beautiful land called Oaxaca, Oaxaca de Juárez, of the Mixtec and the Zapotec beautiful indigenous heritage h...

Coming to grips with autism + ADHD, the inheritance I got from my mother. Realizing that the reason I burned out so many times from my early 30's onwards was that I just didn't know how to speak what was actually true about myself. I didn't even know myself. This is the journey back with the strength to keep speaking even when people don't like it. Substack crisbeasley.com This is a public episode...

crisbeasley.substack.com crisbeasley.com Hello and welcome to season two of Unmasking with Cris Beasley. I am your host, the aforementioned Cris Beasley, and the new name denotes the massive earthquake that has opened up in my self-understanding over the last months. Those of you who have been following along with The Telepathy Tapes may have already started to become fascinated with autism, and p...

It is presently half past nine in the evening. I’m going to attempt to catch the uncatchable, the unputtable-into-words experience of awakening that I had today. I say “awakening” with some amount of scare quotes in there because it feels so wild to say, “Oh hey, I awakened today.” But what I know is that when I was in the experience, it was made very clear to me that there was a part that I touch...

What if the whole “find your passion in life” is just a bait-and-switch to keep you from noticing the real heist—your birthright to create without selling the tenderest parts of your soul at a yard sale? In the next seventeen minutes, we’ll follow the money trail from your kitchen-table “just-for-fun” doodles to the boardrooms that still can’t decide whether femmework counts as labor, and we’ll la...

Well, this one’s a tearjerker… Transcript So this is my mama, Paula Beasley, on the day of her graduation. She was living in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, and we were living in Pocahontas, Arkansas. My mom didn’t raise me. She was disabled from birth, so my granny raised me, Virginia Beasley. She was looking very mysterious, a little mischievous here in this picture, which I really like. She didn’t lo...

“What henceforth cometh after such a strange week…” That’s what I’ve been wondering. Are you in strange times? All the people in my bubble are bumping around, breaking some old old old old old patterns, and finding themselves in brand new territory. I had so much energy pouring out of my solar plexus after watching a random Anne Hathaway cougar romcom that I could barely speak. All the details and...

In this raw, mud-footed transmission, the guides unpack five seismic truths: * Money is both scarce and bottomless—two radio stations broadcasting at once. Which one you tune to decides whether you slave or steward. * Every wall ever built (Berlin, China, the one in your head) is a desperate spell against death; the guides reveal why the spell is already broken. * War and peace aren’t opposites—th...

Greetings dear readers, October’s here, and the Becoming Dragon reboot is roaring ahead. I’ve wrapped the first draft of the art for the nine cards of the Enneagram 3. Ultimately, it will feature 82 round, double-sided cards that flip front-to-back for reversals like a coin. Add a digital guidebook, deeper Enneagram geometry baked into every card, and a possible PhD at Pacifica University to valid...

I taught this superpower to one of my longest-running clients, someone who’s raised hundreds of millions of dollars for progressive causes, who gets the random call from Senators here and there whose ass is in a cinch. If you’ve been following this for long, you’ll already know that last August I went to the ER with seizures, etc, and got quite ill for months. Needless to say, I was a bit concerne...

I got a headache during meditation today, that’s how much the fear mind did NOT want me to publish this. Nonetheless, I’m pushing this big boulder out into the world. If we are as sick as our secrets, this act means I am getting well. IYMCI, the previous two episodes will make it much easier to understand the context of what's presented here.

Here’s part two of the biggest crash and burn of my life. I went all the way down the mystical rabbit hole/hell and came out the other side with some handy new things in my pockets. The tagline of this Substack might as well be “I fuck up so you don’t have to.” You’re welcome.

Stay tuned for next week’s thrilling conti...

If you’re doing the work to heal money wounds and rewire old stories about worth, this one’s for you. It’s about untangling earning from deserving—two things we’ve been taught to confuse. This isn’t a money mindset pep talk. It’s a real moment from my own life, standing in front of a car I could afford but wasn’t sure if I deserved. Call it subconscious reprogramming. Call it remembering what’s al...

[content warning: sexual violence, Trump] Section 3 of the 14th Amendment is a post-Civil War clause designed to keep traitors out of office. It bars anyone who’s sworn an oath to the Constitution and then engaged in insurrection or rebellion from holding public office ever again. After the January 6 incident, it’s not just a relic—it’s a tiny magic key, daring us to decide whether accountability...

Let's unpack the comment –"Male sexuality is the attraction to teenagers." It was a reply to a post by Benebell Wen on the Tao Te Ching and feminism . CW: I will be examining the origins of men’s attraction to underage girls in order to untangle them/us from the ways in which their sexuality has been manipulated by private corporations to serve profit interests. This will be one of my more intense...

Finally… FINALLY, I have clarity on what’s up with narcissists – their motivations, hopes, loves, fears, secret doubts, and the subtle ways you might still be giving your life force away to them. My father was a narcissist, and I was raised in a substantially narcissistic culture called the United States of America. I love them both, still, but I no longer give my power away to them. The voiceover...

Welcome to the first episode of the Becoming Dragon podcast! I’ve been knowing it would come to this for some time. I’m surprised it took so long, and I’m surprised it’s already here. Such are the comic games of the brain. Brains do funny things, don’t they? Well here’s a bedtime whisper for when you can’t fall asleep for the excessive quantity of worrying about all the things you wish you had alr...
