Walk On Podcast

Fake (or toxic) friendships are something that most people experience in their lives. They have all the hallmarks of toxic romantic relationships--but they tend to last much longer. Why? What are the signs? What are the symptoms? We'll talk about all of that, how to lay boundaries and how to walk away because you definitely deserve better. 

Denial is the first stage of grief and some people stay there forever--suspended in animation, never being able to see past their own pain, acting out of that wounded space, all while having no idea where it's all stemming from. As individuals, as family units, as communities, as a country, and as a species, we have been suffering from collective denial about the state of things. Maybe it's time t...

I got a lot of problems with you people!!! And now you're gonna hear about it!!!! Complaining is a sacred practice. If we don't vent, the frustration stays in our bodies. So let it out. Let it alllll out. 

The historical and/or mythological figure of Jesus has been highly depoliticized by the Christian right. Why? Could it have something to do with the fact that their messiah's politics dramatically opposed their own? Would he be pleased with the direction his brand is going? Or was he a marginalized people-loving-anarchist who hated the kind of hypocrisy currently being pedaled as a means of contro...

“The War on Christmas”-- is it a real attempt at marginalizing white Christian conservatives by the PC Mafia, or is it just people with power playing the victim? Happy Holidays.

In honor of Hanukkah, we're talking about the power of Faith. Faith has power in ways that aren't esoteric or miracle-centered. What about faith in one's own resilience? Faith in love? Faith in the unfolding? Faith in community? Faith in healing? Faith in liberation? Faith in a better world? To quote George Michael, "Ya gotta have faith." 

If The Holidays are the most joyful time of year, why do they get people so down? Easy: capitalism and trauma. Here's my Holiday Survival Guide full of coping mechanisms to get through and maybe even enjoy the Holiday season. 

We are conditioned to believe that no one makes the right choice without guilt, shame, and verbal abuse. We internalize this so deeply that we become our own drill sergeants, never giving ourselves so much as the benefit of the doubt. It’s so pervasive that many people believe it’s impossible to feel good about themselves, to forgive themselves, to fall in love. But what if there was a way? Radica...

Aging is complicated because, as humans with egos, we fear change. Aging is a visual reminder that time marches on and that physical life is finite. Aging is also seen as a limitation in our society, which considers one more or less valuable based on how able-bodied and patriarchally f*ckable they are. What if our fears and resistance toward aging could be transcended? What if we could surrender t...

The industry of Diet Culture wants to sell us the idea that we aren't enough. Like all white supremacist capitalist cis heteropatriarchal constructs, this can be deprogrammed. When we practice radical self-acceptance and choose to give up on striving to be "perfect" what's left? Our wounds? Our imperfections? Presence? Healing? Maybe even self-love? All you've got to lose are your illusions. 

When the veil between the worlds is thinnest, the lines of communication between the living and the dead become clear. Why should we fear such a natural occurrence? What if our ancestors are there to guide us to our highest good?

What is it about Horror that appeals to us? Why do we like to be afraid? Maybe it's just the adrenaline rush, maybe we're just microdosing death.  Also my first book is ouuuuuttt!!! "Flight of the Final Girl" is officially out, honey!!

Ritual on a mystic level, routine on a material (depending on how you look at it) can be life-changing. Taking the time to clarify how you feel, what you want, what you don't want, and to engage in the practice of creating stability is a pivotal first step towards self-care. 

Change is scary. If we don’t listen to our intuition about when it’s time to change, change can become downright destructive. Have you been ignoring what’s best for you? Have you been clinging onto what you know even if what you know isn’t what you want? What about on a societal scale? Are we being prompted to change--bombarded with clear signs that things aren’t working? Are we listening? First t...

Astrology: sense maker of the great cosmic mess we're all a part of. So why is it considered silly woo-woo pseudoscience nonsense? Probably misogyny and a colonizer mindset. Need guidance, feel lost in life, want to get a better idea of what you came here to work on in this lifetime? Maybe do what your ancestors did... consult the stars. 

Tarot cards have been one of the most influential and effective healing modalities for me along my journey. They connect to the subconscious and bring forth any information you might have an awareness of, but maybe haven't been ready to acknowledge yet. This can be deeply healing, teaching, and affirming. Everyone should own a deck, everyone should have their cards done at least once in their life...

The internet encourages us to know everyone we've always known. To unfriend or unfollow someone is the modern-day equivalent of peeling off your old-timey glove and slapping someone across the face with it. Cyberstalking people we no longer know IRL is so passé at this point it's basically a meme. Hate following and trolling have become nearly legitimate hobbies. Sitting here in my almost mid-30s...

Heavily traumatized, sarcasm and avoidance are the way we are encouraged to move through the world. Capitalism doesn't allow time for vulnerability and processing the depths of our emotions, so we cope by walling up our softest parts. Fear of rejection keeps our societal masks in place. What if we all agreed to let our guards down? What is the importance of being earnest?

"Cancel culture" is what bigoted Fox News anchors, problematic starlets, and washed-up comedians call taking accountability--buuut more and more people are experiencing public shaming and the use of internet callouts as a power play amongst people who may not have entirely altruistic motives. When does activism turn into bullying? Have we lost sight of the goal? Is "perfect" even attainable? Is th...

Get off my lawn is a right of passage, as is aging out of the role of deciding what's "cool", but that doesn't mean we all have to be assholes about it. Is there a way to transcend DUN DUN DUUUUN the generation wars? Could the powers-that-be possibly be gaining something from the division, the competition, the orchestrated opposition of people based on age? Let's unpack that. 

Being wrong is a gift, because it means you know more in this moment than you did before--so why do we resist the discomfort of it so hard? Here we discuss how to see the upside of being wrong; how it simply means you're growing, which is the most important Work we can do in this life. Let yourself be wrong, you might learn something. 

Finding the label "chronically ill" like so many of my other coming home labels came with a sense of relief, a sense of explanation, a sense of forgiveness and self-compassion, but also a lot of loss, a lot of anger, frustration, depression, anxiety, and resentment at my lack of resources, at my relentlessly difficult life, at my failing body, and at the systems that make it so hard for me to surv...

Moving through life in a neurotically-designed society can feel, to the neurodivergent, like we have our experience set to hard mode . Every system, process, requirement elicits feelings of being a burden, being a failure, and lots of unnecessary struggle and suffering. Take away the expectations and booby traps of the white supremacist capitalist cisheteropatriarchy, though, and what we find is t...

I am autistic. I did not have a word for my feelings of "different" until I was 27 years old. This has been a constant source of suffering, judgment, oppression, rejection, and struggle for me. It has also been my biggest blessing. My autism makes me who I am, and I wouldn't change a thing about it. Hear my experience with the light and the shadow, the wins and the losses, hear how this optimizes...

This week’s Walk On Podcast is a celebration of 50 whole ass episodes!! Been screaming into the void consistently inconsistently for 2 years!!! Ok, so I’ve barely made any inside-the-matrix progress, but on a red pill level, I’m doin’ alright. Here, always (or until I get sick of doing this), for anyone who needs a kind word or permission to Walk On <3
