The Self-Consciousness Podcast

Wrapping up season 3, we have an opening meditation to help you feel grounded, followed by a channeled message to test that grounding! Just kidding. It's no surprise that we are living in some dark times, but having our roots in the soil, experiencing the depths of our winter is necessary to a new way of BE-ing and SEE-ing.

Be sure to look out for the new Sacred Comedy podcast airing on January 3, 2024! Available on YouTube, Spotify and everywhere else you listen to your podcasts.

Happy Winter Solstice! Welcome to Part 1 of a 2 parter because I couldn't resist finishing the year and NOT reaching 80 episodes. Just feels better, you know? Inside I talk about my year, getting to truth, understanding vulnerability etc. Stay tuned for part 2 where I give you a meditation and a download about where we are and what to expect!

Please give us a rating and a review!

Today I bring back my good friend and past guest Andreas Labuschagne (from Ep31) a PureLand/Ch’an/Dzogpa Chenpo practitioner from Pretoria South Africa. We talk about his current experience having been diagnosed with cancer earlier this year, how the West views death and dying, grief, attachment, and how he experiences life with this terminal illness. It’s a very special honest and emotional episode. As always, thank you for listening!

Have you found yourself existing in a bit of a safe bubble since covid? Do you notice that we are more isolated socially than before? Are you worried about A.I.? In today's solo episode, I talk about a recent download on social media and the destruction of "inter-energetics." And yes, I made up that word. We are supposed to feel like we are "connected," but we all know that is not the truth.

Comedian, actress, producer, director AND psychic medium, Jessica Rotondi joins us today. We talk about the nature of psychic gifts, where it comes from, our experiences, and of course it's just a love fest!  We discuss combining spirituality and standup, Long Island accents, and we dive into an energy check (while a tree collapses in my yard - which I edit out - sorry.)

In today's episode, we'll be discussing the recent energetic fluctuations and the various issues that might arise for many of us. And as per usual, I also cover a wide range of topics! Personally, I've been grappling with money and love-related challenges. I hope you enjoy this solocast and please don't forget to rate, review, and subscribe wherever you're listening!

Myq Kaplan, comedian extraordinaire joins me today! Myq will be performing at our Sacred Comedy show in Jersey City on April 15th, so come on down to see him live! Today we talk about spirituality in everyday life, buddhism, various philosophies and some of the teachings of Ram Dass, Byron Katie, and Alan Watts. I ponder whether psychedelics and buddhism are the bro gateway drug for psychic or “magic” spirituality, we discuss the similarities between being a comedic performer and being a psychic delivering a reading, thoughts on suffering, and how we find spirituality in the buffet of options in the world today. I really love this conversation, it makes me smile!

Myq Kaplan has appeared on the Tonight Show, Conan, Letterman, James Corden, Seth Meyers, Comedy Central, Last Comic Standing, and America’s Got Talent. He has a one-hour standup special on Amazon, “Small, Dork, and Handsome,” and two podcasts, The Faucet and Broccoli and Ice Cream. His debut album, “Vegan Mind Meld,” was one of iTunes’ top 10 comedy albums of the year, and his newest album, “A.K.A.,” debuted at #1 and was called “invigoratingly funny” by the NY Times!

Today I welcome comedian, podcaster and paranormal investigator, Ryan Singer! Creator and host of the popular ME & PARANORMAL YOU weekly podcast he conducts in-depth interviews with paranormal investigators, experiencers and members of secret societies. Selected by LA Weekly as one of "10 LA Comics to Watch", mentioned in NY Magazine as a "Comic to Watch," he was one of 4 finalists in the original CMT's Next Big Comic Contest, is a frequent guest on the WTF Podcast w/Marc Maron and the Bob & Tom Show, and his joke "United Snacks of America" has nearly 11 million listens on Pandora.

Ryan talks honestly about depression and how he was able to move through it. We discuss realigning purpose with action, getting back to bliss, milkshakes, fear, and the creep factor in paranormal investigations. Ryan is hilarious and you need to check out his standup!

Today's conversation with Lyssa Mandel is overflowing with mutual adoration; Lyssa recently performed standup at our 2nd Sacred Comedy show in January! She is an actress, comedian, writer, podcaster, tarot reader and if that's enough, she is training to become a Somatic Therapist. We muse about performance being sacred, themes of death and grief, the layers of human experience, non-attachment, 90's extreme sports, the origin of the term "bucket list,"  and of course fun past life stories. 

Welcome to Season 3! And welcome to just getting it done without worrying too much about it. It feels like this is the theme of the year. Or at least my own personal theme. We can be messy AF and be okay. Trust me. Just listen to this episode. It's a little bit of an energy tap-in as I see it, and a little about what's been helping me move along. It's simple and very easy. And it involves grease.

On today’s episode I talk about my new project and the road that led me there (in lots of detail!) In Fall of 2022 I decided to start my own production company (a long time coming) and create a recurring standup comedy show/energy circle event (also a long time coming) that combines self-care with laughter as a form of healing. Join me as I talk to the 3 comedians who will perform at our first show on January 7, 2023! We talk about how comedy heals, why they do what they do, and how it feels to kill!

For the 4th and final installment of the FEMININE RISING series, I welcome Tahya: dancer, drummer, teacher, and creator/designer of the Ceremonial Systrum; a modern version of an ancient percussion instrument used in ancient Egyptian temple processions honoring the goddess. 

Join us as we discuss her journey in connecting with Hathor (ancient Egyptian goddess of joy, fertility and beauty amongst other things), her journey in recreating the sistrum, and embodying the divine feminine through movement, sound, art and adornment.

Tahya is an award-winning dancer with over 40 years of experience researching, studying, teaching and performing multi-cultural drumming, dance and poetry. She is a member of the elite Lehigh Valley Independent Colleges Dance Consortium and an ACE-certified instructor for over twenty years. Tahya’s pursuit of life-long passions are fully supported by heart whisperings & soul guidance inviting the exploration of global best practices within multi-cultural sacred and secular dance and drumming traditions.

For the second in my FEMININE RISING series, and I speak to creator of the Divine Feminine App, Caryn MacGrandle! Caryn’s app is an online community that has been connecting women (all genders) since 2016 with Circles, events and resources. Caryn has participated in numerous online and location events such as the World Parliament of Religions in September of 2021 in which she presented a workshop on Embodying the Goddess:  Creating Rituals with Mind, Body and Soul, a webinar/panel with Dale Allen presenting Dale’s Indie film award winning “In Our Right Minds:  Leading Women to Strength as Leaders and Men to Strength without Armor” and many more. Each and every day, Caryn (aka Karen Moon) works tirelessly towards her belief that the most important area to first find equality and balance is the divinity found within yourself.

We talk about the incredible power and importance of sitting in circles, how they ebb and flow, how we work with our own control freaky nature when creating them, and what divine feminine teaches us about coming together (including the synchronistic mysteries, our own reflections, our own growth and the magic of it all.) In Caryn’s words, it is all about “holding the rim and letting everything fall into place.”

Karen Rontowski is back! Standup comic, Master Tarot reader and teacher, Podcaster and all around amazing woman. We talk about a range of topics today including animals & nature, how to deal with real life changes and finding acceptance through it all. We also get into plenty of ghost stories, religion, accepting the dark and lots more fun and spooky stuff.

Psychic Medium & Intuitive Mentor Ryan from rockthedivine.com is back! On today's episode we discuss what we notice about when, why & how we ruminate. We also get into how it affects us, and why it's so damn hard to catch ourselves in a loop! You will hear 4 tips on how to ruminate less, as well as plenty of laughs between two friends. Come on in and hang with us!

What does it mean to change our mindset or spiritually bypass, and how can we shift this to serve us? We are so indoctrinated with “mind over matter.” We discourage imagination as a tool to expand our own awareness. We are conditioned to feel that we need to alter our attitude to be productive and power through, despite any inner emotions or bodily sensations that are telling us otherwise; to slow down and pay attention. How can we turn bypassing into our own keys and codes to move through difficult times? How do we acknowledge our truth AND also lie to ourselves just a little? Come on in and find out!

Perri Chase is back and joins me today to go deeper into defining feminine & masculine energies, and the modern interplay of both. We have an honest discussion about feminism and abortion, and why a reframe is needed. In today’s episode you will hear:

• How women can cultivate their own power.
• What will actually transform the world.
• Ways to help you connect to the feminine energetic.

Perri Chase is a Mama, Wife, Woman, Channel, Teacher, and Practitioner of deep devotion to the Feminine. She lives a life in service to the deepest Truth, as an energy, in all things and beings. She believes that our total and truest full expression is our soul’s purpose. She teaches pathways in life, relationships, expression, sacred medicine and business that all center the frequency of Feminine Truth, including her Foundations in Energetic Mastery path, DEVOTION.

Some self-love strategy on today’s episode! Feeling that summer intensity and leaving social media had me thinking about how we adjust our relationships to evolve along with us, and really focus on the one with ourselves. Do we pause and give ourselves a sec when we need it? Do we feel our feelings? If we don’t, why? This might be a part of your personal spiritual journey that needs cultivating. Self-love is the part that holds us and keeps us coming back to the work. Throw your inner selves a life preserver, and learn how to stop the negative self-talk loop.

Get comfortable and listen in or watch us on Spotify and YouTube.

Welcome to the final episode of 2021 and Season 1. In this Year End All-Star Extravaganza, you will hear the culmination of a year’s worth of discussions and connections. We welcome back 8 previous guests spread over 2 zoom sessions. Listen to guests come together (some of whom met years ago!) and unbelievably find common ground. Where else can you hear a conversation between shamanic practitioners, a blue man, a psychic medium and a political operative in one place? Karen does a numerology reading for us, there's talk of puppets ... what more could you ask for?

Please check out my other podcast Soul Club only on Patreon, for extended bonus video of these conversations. For only $5.55/month you can access hours of outtakes, smiles, and deeper conversations.

If you’re new-ish to Human Design, you are in the right place! Today we get a primer with our guest Ashleen Aguilar; a multi-hyphenate Creator with special interests in cannabis, Human Design, mysticism, and mixed media art. She co-hosts Chronic Gals Podcast, a show about cannabis & spirituality, with her sister, Rileigh, and they are also writing cannabis sales guides for dispensaries to use to train their staff on how to sell weed.

Ashleen found Human Design in 2017 and loves the synthesis of modalities into one deep, efficient system. Its emphasis on differentiation and uniqueness is the permission slip we didn't know we needed, reminding us that in order to anchor in Heaven on Earth, it is essential that we all be ourselves, celebrating the unique role we chose to play in this lifetime. Ashleen recently started offering channeled Human Design portraits to help people activate and embody their unique Human Design.

She is a 2/4 mental projector, Leo Sun & Rising, Sagittarius Moon.

Ashleen and I discuss the Human Design portrait she painted for me (a 6/3 Manifesting Generator) and go over types, centers, gates and all the things! Follow along using the links below as we dive deep-ish.

Our conversation gets into some controversial topics; whether you agree with her or not, she is a code sharer and activates through embodying frequency. I felt super activated for the entire day following our conversation. Seriously. After talking for one hour, some intense energy shifted in me.  She is not a guru and very human! But she holds and grounds intense energy into being-ness and this can be felt when interacting, perceiving, or working with her. This is how that shit works!

When we think about masculine and feminine or the yin/yang energies inherent within us and the world, we realize that one cannot exist without the other. Expressing and appreciating both qualities within ourselves brings us closer to that elusive balance. Today’s episode contains a short meditative exercise, so make sure to listen when you’re able to really sit in stillness. A huge thank you and much love goes out to contributors to this episode (connect with them on Instagram):

Nick Polizzi is a producer and director of feature-length documentaries about holistic alternatives to conventional medicine. He is the founder of the Sacred Science, director of the feature documentary by the same name, and author of the book based on the film. Nick is the co-author of Exhausted: How to Revitalize, Restore, and Renew your Energy, Trauma: Healing Your Past to Find Freedom Now, and Conscious Parenting: A Guide to Raising Resilient, Wholehearted & Empowered Kids. Nick and his wife Michelle have been working tirelessly to bring information on healing, shamanism, herbalism, energy medicine, environmentalism and consciousness into the public sphere. Today we discuss some of his upcoming projects, and delve into topics like conscious parenting, ancestral healing and some pretty great ayahuasca stories.

On today’s show I go into some themes that have been popping up lately, around disconnection. Disconnection from ourselves, or from our bodies (we are all plenty aware of our disconnection from each other!) I go into some interesting downloads about how this takes shape and I attempt to integrate some of the things I’ve been learning in a new class. 

The old expressions of masculinity are changing. Episode 35 is the first in a 3-part series dedicated to exploring expressions of masculinity, perspectives, how we can find healing within, and what it means to be a woman trying to frame the answer to this question! I explain why this has been coming up a lot, and I’ve invited some friends to talk about what masculinity means to them, and their answers are gold! A special thank you to:
