WORD UP with Dani Katz

In this solo deep dive, Dani unpacks the deleterious dark side of “niceness,” and explores how our cultural obsession with being good, polite, and palatable keeps us dishonest, disconnected, and disempowered — and how reclaiming authenticity is the only path to real integrity and intimacy. Along the way, she explores the weaponization of “privilege,” the pitfalls of polarized thinking, and the cov...

Author and Word Up podcast fave Paul Levy joined Dani for a(nother) rollicking conversation about wetiko (the collective mind virus), the reflections world events are offering us as ever-evolving souls, and how quantum physics is a terma – a hidden treasure designed to awaken humanity at key points of species-wide transition. As always, the Paul + Dani alchemy made for a super generative, high-vib...

In this solo Word Up romp, Dani dives deep into the cultural psychosis of our times: the demonization of masculinity, the distortion of paternalism, and the weaponization of language. She unpacks hierarchy versus “betterarchy,” calls out the infantilizing scripts that keep us compliant, and dissects how the modern censorship complex — from dance class etiquette to newsroom fragility — is eroding n...

What if your “consent” to be governed was the biggest con in history? We’ve been duped into thinking “government” was meant to serve us, when our so-called consent has been the control mechanism all along. In this straight-shooting conversation, I sit down with Michael Joseph and Daniel Mentz of Sacred Honor Educational Fellowship to unpack the core principles of self-governance — the real-deal ki...

Santa Fe mayoral candidate Ron Trujillo joined my on the podcast to talk leadership, collaborative solutions, and restoring pride to America’s oldest capital. From forensic audits to forgotten neighborhoods, Trujillo lays out his plan to clean house at City Hall, rebuild trust, and reunite a city divided by politics, money, and culture wars. If you care about Santa Fe’s future, this is the convers...

In this solo episode, Dani rides the adrenaline wave of finishing her investigative exposé on Santa Fe’s philanthropy-activism complex while unpacking what happens when friends project doubt instead of support. From the Feminine shadow’s subtle sabotage to the importance of energetic reciprocity, she gets real about boundaries, belief, and kindness. Then Dani drops two life-changing mantras — “It’...

In this wildly expansive and uncensored conversation, Dani sits down with Amandha Vollmer ( Yummy. Doctor ) — naturopath, truth-teller, and fearless decoder of medical, metaphysical, and worldly deception. Together, they trace the roots of the Rockefeller medical monopoly, unpack the cult-like structure of academia, and expose how “science” became a hypnotic belief system built to serve profit and...

In this week’s solo pod romp, I rip into propaganda’s favorite trick: the false dichotomy. From the engineered clash between Indigenous and Hispanic culture in Santa Fe, to the broader Left/Right puppet show, I expose how billionaire foundations and activist networks bankroll division while posing as agents of justice. I call out the hypocrisy of philanthrocapitalists funding “equity” with fortune...

What happens when a financial advisor on the brink of bodily collapse discovers the real roots of health and healing? Tim James — founder of Chemical Free Body — went from overweight, exhausted, and inflamed to radically vibrant and thriving. In this candid conversation, we unpack his healing journey, the truth about parasites, detoxing, and the toxicity threatening to degrade our body vessels, pl...

It’s solo pod romp time, superstars; and in this episode I’m pulling back the curtain on the youth-worship scam, the war on aging, and why elderhood is being erased from our culture. I get into vanity, propaganda, the recycling hustle (yup, you’re probably paying more to “be sustainable”), and how billionaire “philanthropy” is running the media circus/downfall of Western civilization. Consider thi...

Your iPhone, your Android, your smarty-smart-smart phone isn’t just a phone or a map or a camera — it’s a pre-hacked surveillance device . And Palantir, the CIA’s favorite data-mining beast, is quietly weaving together a new AI-powered control grid to track, predict, and police us all. In this explosive conversation, I sit down with Hakeem Anwar , CEO of Above Phone , to expose how Big Tech and fe...

In her latest solo pod romp, Dani riffs on gossip, relationship drama, and why we’ve got to quit normalizing the demoralization sitch. From messy relationships to kvetchy communities, she breaks down how gossip wrecks trust, warps perception, and poisons the social contract/construct — and why conscious partnership means keeping your dirty laundry where it belongs (with the people actually in the...

What happens when a buttoned-up Silicon Valley exec ditches the hamster wheel and starts writing books that dismantle everything we’ve been spoon-fed about consciousness, cosmology, government, and science itself? Enter: Mark Gober. In this fiery, brain-tingling convo, Mark and Dani rip into the upside-down narratives we’ve been sold, the scandal of suppressed science, why “consensus reality” is b...

A solo pod romp, wherein Dani offers some candid reflections on Pluto in Aquarius, a recent Paul Levy interview, and how she is reorienting to friendship and community. Moving onto the meat of the matter, Dani reads from “Operation Bleed,” a raw, real, darkly funny, and unflinching essay from her yet-to-be-published essay collection, Love in the Time of Chemtrails . The essay unpacks a disastrous...

Author and wisdom-carrier Stephen Jenkinson returns for a deeply textured, no-BS unpacking of Matrimony — his newest cultural autopsy. We track the broken shards of our seemingly antiquated wedding traditions back to their source, dissect the difference between promises and vows, and talk about what happens when ritual life flatlines into spectacle. Stephen calls out the privatization of love, the...

In this solo episode, Dani unpacks how ChatGPT subtly rewrites history and perpetuates ideological spin — using the Santa Fe Obelisk protest as a case study in AI-driven propaganda. She calls out the not-so-neutral role language models play in reshaping public perception, especially around contentious cultural moments. Then, for a tonal pivot with teeth, Dani reads Happily Never After , the biting...

Joel Schafer joined me for a deep and rollicking conversation wherein we unpack the psyops, perceptual traps, and narrative spells that have been keeping us, as in our human family, fragmented, divided and confused. We track the weaponization of language, the commodification of “healing,” and the deeper Toltec technologies that help us remember who we are — and how to reclaim our attention, our so...

Glass shards, shadow projections, rogue electronics and sovereign reclamations abound in today’s solo pod romp, as Dani unpacks some recent paranormal weirdness, reframes diagnoses, and dismantles some popular-but-problematic distortions around consent, victimhood, and reactive shadow expressions. We’re talking spiritual double standards, energetic hygiene, parasitic manipulations, and the power p...

Most of our high-vibe tribe already knows that water is intelligent. Responsive. Multidimensional. But are we actually hydrating in ways that honor water’s quantum consciousness? In this episode, Dani drops into the deep end with anthropologist, author, and Hydration Foundation founder Gina Bria , who’s revolutionizing the way we understand water, nourishment, vitality and – most importantly – HYD...

In this solo firestarter, Dani dives deep into the linguistic traps and weaponized narratives shaping our world—from activist orthodoxy to AI-generated propaganda. She unpacks how binary thinking, “I am” language, and identity-based scripts keep us small, sick, and compliant.
She calls out the cultural pressure to conform to pre-approved scripts, and how large language models (like ChatGPT) are be...

Dr. Edith Ubuntu Chan joins Dani for an edge-pushing, heart-expanding deep dive into human potential, conscious parenting, and the wild multidimensionality of this thing we call “reality.” From cosmic awakenings to blindfolded psychic kids, from spirit baby visitations to the deconstruction of modern schooling — nothing is off-limits in this high-vibe, chock-full episode. Strap in. This is the par...
