Charis Alura

On the hottest day of the year—sweaty, sleep-deprived, and overstimulated—I take to the mic with a raw, caffeinated stream of insight. What starts as a reflection on aging, Buddhist teachings, and the body's resistance to poison becomes a searing exploration of social contracts: the invisible rules we follow, the identities we build around them, and the cost of maintaining them.

Blending personal anecdotes, a pandemic-era memor...

From Orwell to Octavia Butler and The Matrix, dystopian stories have warned us of external control — but what if the deeper dystopia lives inside us? In this episode, I explore how we unconsciously uphold systems that limit our freedom — not just through governments and corporations, but through inherited beliefs, fear, and ego. This is a call to dismantle the internal propaganda and reclaim the power to choose a new path.

After a pause, I return to the mic to share what’s been stirring beneath the surface—both astrologically and personally. As Saturn retrogrades, its karmic spotlight reveals the unconscious patterns shaping our relationships, especially the role of blame as a coping mechanism. In this episode, I unpack the redactive nature of blame, its connection to grief, and how it keeps us trapped in the drama triangle. Together, we explore what...

It’s easy to spot other people’s chaos—harder to admit when we’ve been tangled in it ourselves.

In this episode, I unpack the subtle ways we get recruited into other people’s drama—how we’re handed roles like the villain, the fixer, the savior—and how quickly the story turns when we refuse to play along.

I also share this with humility, because I’ve been on both sides of that equation. I’ve been caught in the drama triangle. I’ve t...

What if Independence Day isn’t just a holiday — but a quiet, personal revolution? In this episode, I explore the subtle ways we lose ourselves to old roles, outdated expectations, and the pressure to stay small. Through reflections on personal experience and the stories of women around me, this is an invitation to reclaim your space, your voice, and your version of yourself — the one no one else gets to edit. It's not about bla...

In this episode, I explore how modern society has numbed itself out of the very initiations wired into human life. Our life offers threshold moments designed to grow, evolve, and strip away false identities. But instead of rising like the phoenix, we medicate, distract, and bypass these rites of passage—avoiding discomfort but also forfeiting sovereignty.

I dive into why our culture fears change, and how the hero's journey—and ...

This episode is a raw, unfiltered reckoning with accountability—not just personal, but generational. We often talk about how our own choices shape our lives, but what about the collective choices women have made, consciously or unconsciously, in upholding a patriarchal system that no longer serves us?

I dive into the dynamics of male entitlement, the cultural conditioning that raised boys to believe they are owed power, and the pai...

What if your endless cravings aren’t flaws to fix but signals from the soul of a hunger deeper than food can reach?

In this episode, I explore the many faces of hunger: the kind that drives us to the fridge, but also the kind that keeps us scrolling, striving, people-pleasing, and performing. I talk about the ways we try to feed these hungers — with food, with relationships, with distractions — and why none of it works if our souls...

In this unscripted and unfiltered episode, I speak from the edge—where burnout ends and awakening begins.

This isn’t just a rant. It’s a reckoning.

I explore the deep discontent that comes from spending decades doing work that doesn’t challenge or honor me, and the painful realization that I’ve been hiding behind the dreams of others while abandoning my own. I unpack the shame of staying too long, the weight of unspoken expectation...

I didn’t expect much from this date — I almost didn’t go. But across from me sat someone whose story stayed with me long after the check was paid.

A man shaped by early loss and quiet survival. Adopted into a world that never quite made room for him. Someone who learned to give and give… not because he had much to spare, but because he hoped it might make him worthy of the love and belonging ...

Let’s get real—one of the biggest lies we’ve all been sold is that if we just wait, the answers will come. The right person will come. The validation will come. God will come. Society teaches us to stay passive. Wait for permission. Don’t rock the boat. Don’t ask for too much.

And where has that gotten most people? Exhausted. Underpaid. Stuck in service roles. Numbed out and blaming everyone else for why they feel trapped.

In this ...

In this deeply personal and reflective episode, I explore the universal truth that connects us all: our shared humanity. Even though our beliefs, backgrounds, and experiences may differ, at the core, we all crave the same things—love, belonging, and connection.

I share my own journey with judgment, division, and rediscovering compassion for people who think, live, and believe differently than I do. I reflect on how fear and past wo...

We throw the word intimacy around like we know what it means — but do we?
This episode is a raw, unscripted dive into what intimacy actually is…and why so few of us ever experience it.

It’s not sex. It’s not aesthetics. It’s not performance.
It’s the terrifying, beautiful act of being fully seen — and still chosen.

We live in a world that teaches us to hide, to shape-shift, to become what’s wanted instead of what’s real. ...

In this episode, I share a dream that mirrored an old wound — and a deeper realization about belonging. It’s a story for anyone who has ever felt left out, unseen, or like they didn’t quite fit the mold they were born into. I explore a friendship from my past, the hidden costs of conformity, and the difference between building a life that looks good from the outside versus living one that feels true inside.
Through the lens of...

In this episode, I take a hard, unfiltered look at the real pandemic — not COVID itself, but the fear that allowed our freedoms to be stripped away without a fight. I dive into the mass manipulation, medical coercion, and cultural obedience that reshaped our world — and the devastating cost of trading liberty for the illusion of safety.

From forced vaccinations to the erosion of bodily autonomy, from government overreach to pharmac...

In this raw and unflinching episode, I take on a subject many find uncomfortable: religion—and more specifically, Christianity. With personal insight and historical context, I explore how the Bible has long been used as a tool of oppression, particularly against women. From Eve’s vilification in the Garden of Eden to modern-day restrictions on women’s bodies, voices, and rights, I trace the legacy of patriarchal control woven throu...

In this episode, Charis Alura explores the unsettling and complex world of the manosphere. Sparked by Netflix’s powerful and disturbing miniseries Adolescence (SPOILER ALERT), Charis unpacks the roots of male anger, the appeal of red-pill ideology, and the heartbreaking reality of boys and men growing up without strong masculine role models.

With vulnerability and nuance, she shares personal reflections on bullying, self-worth, att...

In this episode, I reflect on the long-term impact of the COVID-19 era on a generation of children—now teens and young adults—who grew up shaped by lockdowns, fear, and an obsession with illness. From masks in P.E. class to years spent indoors, what has this done to their health, their sense of safety, and their identity?

As someone working in a holistic clinic, I’m seeing a startling trend: young people over-researching symptoms, ...

Ever found yourself getting upset when someone doesn’t meet your expectations—even when they never agreed to them in the first place? That’s the sneaky grip of codependency. In this episode, we break down how unspoken needs, fantasy relationships, and deep-seated insecurities shape our interactions. From the host-parasite dynamic to the fear of being alone, we explore how codependency manifests and why so many of us fall into its t...
