The Voices of Wisdom

Welcome to the last episode of 2024 on the Voices of Wisdom Project!!

This week, I have a conversation with Bri Rubin, a Human Design specialist and coach. She is an artist as well as a yoga teacher and is devoted to exploring and experimenting with both ancient and modern spiritual technologies.

This was a really fun conversation to have – Bri is intimate with Human Design and very beautifull...

On this week’s episode of the Voices of Wisdom, I have the great pleasure of talking to Anne Upczak-Garcia, the author of the heart-wrenching, deep, beautiful story in the book Among Walkers. 

Being the daughter of a Venezuelan family, this book broke my heart into pieces. Not only did it illuminate a migrant crisis (the ramifications of which I was not fully aware of) but it also illuminated my own sadnes...

Welcome back to the Voices of Wisdom and one of my favorite guests to have on the show, Sheira Kahn!

Sheira is a staple on the Voices of Wisdom because of her playful depth, practical insight, and generous heart. 

She is also an eating coach as well as a Marriage & Family therapist. She developed a body of work called Eat in Peace, in which she supports her clients to transform their relations...

In this episode, I welcome my dear aunt, Cristina Carbonell, to discuss what is occurring in Venezuela. Often omitted from major news outlets, the crisis in Venezuela is ever-present and ever-growing and there’s no end in sight. Awareness from the international community is KEY to change related to the situation in Venezuela.

I hope you’ll enjoy this long conversation and this knowledge on how Venezuela ...

This week, I have the honor and privilege of sitting with Ihab and Ora Balha, a married couple from the Holy Land whose love crosses numerous divides to model a new possibility for union, courage, and reconciliation. 

In this episode, Ihab tells the beautiful story of his past, starting with his father being the only one of his siblings to stay in Jaffa after the Nakba in 1948. He shares how he released th...

You don’t want to miss this exciting conversation with Whitney Woodcock, an Austin-based crypto mentor for women who want financial empowerment, to shift their relationship to money and to build lasting freedom.

She escaped her corporate engineering career in 2020, withdrew her 401k, invested it in crypto, and turned it into a value of half a million dollars which has allowed her over the past 3 years to t...

This upcoming conversation is with one of my FAVORITE guests to have on the podcast: Dr. Eneze Obuaya. An absolutely incredible human being. She is part medical doctor, part spiritual doctor, and she truly bridges the seen with the unseen unlike anyone I have ever experienced. 

Dr. Eneze Obuaya is an Anesthesiologist by trade as well as an Energy medicine practitioner (practicing via the use of metaphysics...

On this week’s episode, we welcome back my Topanga neighbor and friend, Edward Sczudlo. Not only is Edward one of my favorite neighbors, but he’s a Dharma friend. Having met through the local yoga studio, Edward is one of those favorite friends that brings me views of the world that help me to see things more clearly.

The inspiration for this show came unexpectedly. Drinking tea one afternoon, I asked Edwa...

I’m just SO excited to share this conversation with all of you. When Sheira Kahn and I get together to record a podcast, magic happens! It’s truly special. 

Back in the Spring of 2022, Sheira and I got together to talk about how to work with the inner critic in a powerful way. This is somethign we can all resonate with – the perennial question of, “how do we work with the chatty, sometimes intense inner cr...

This week’s guest, Diana Zaheer, has been guiding people through their inner journey’s for 30 years. Diana’s healing work combines teachings and practices from many different traditions and cultures, and has a distinctive mothering style — as you’ll see. 

Following in the footsteps of many of her teachers, Diana has done most of her work out of the public eye, supporting thousands of people through her vir...

In this episode, Cameron and I introduce our new initiative, Ancestral Erotic… as well as the first course inside of this new world: The Elements of Intimacy. 

Per the West African Dagara cosmology we work with, Cameron is a fire being and I’m a water. This will come as a surprise to no one! In this episode, you’ll hear our respective fiery and flowy nature. 

We share about why we launched thi...

And we’re back! It’s 2024, and it’s going to be a big year. I thought that it would be fun to have one of my favorite guests back on the show, Harvey Ruderian. Harvey is a bodyworker in his profession, but to me he is an elder, a lover of life, a mystic, and a generous soul with such pure and deep wisdom. 

With that, we have a circuitous conversation today about politics and consciousness on multiple level...

I am so excited to have my friend Janira Martinez on this week’s episode of the Voices of Wisdom podcast. 

Janira is a Desire & Soul coach, Plant Medicine Guide, and Holistic Nutrition Practitioner on a mission to empower modern spiritual women to create the lives they want. 

Together, we unpack the Ayahuasca ceremony she just sat in with her mother (!), along with everything she worked throug...

Please take a moment to listen to this episode about reconciliation and conflict resolution. Recording it was balm for my soul, and I hope it will be for yours too.

In this week’s conversation, I have the pleasure of introducing you to a dear friend and fellow medicine man, Ramsay Boly. As you’ll experience, Ramsay has a strikingly peaceful presence and possesses the rare being of open-hearted warriorship....

In this week’s solo episode, I talk about a particularly moving experience I had with our driver, Mohammed, during our trip to Egypt. Mohammed taught me more than I bargained for. He was a walking embodiment of one of my greatest values: generosity.

In a time where we can find evidence for literally anything but, generosity fascinates me. What is generosity? What makes it pure? What does it look and feel l...

I’m so excited to have Omid Arabian on this week’s episode of the Voices of Wisdom Project. Omid is the founder and director of the non-profit YOUniversal Center, where he conducts courses on Eastern Mysticism and Western Philosophy.His translations of Rumi's poetry have been published in three volumes; he is also the author of three children’s books inspired by Rumi: The Heart’s Garden, The Donkey’s Gone!, and the upc...

I feel so honored to have Dr. Lisa Polinsky on the podcast for this week’s episode of The Voices of Wisdom. Lisa is a licensed naturopathic physician, meditation teacher, and energy healer who unifies the physical and the energetic in her healing work. (She’s also a very popular hit amongst my friends specifically for energy readings!)

In this wide-ranging discussion, we discuss the tremendous healing powe...

I feel so touched and honored to have Harvey Ruderian on this week’s episode of the Voices of Wisdom podcast. A profoundly masterful bodyworker whose history of spiritual and political revolutionary work stretches back into the counterculture movements of the 60’s and 70’s, Harvey has precisely the kind of deep, elder wisdom transmission that this podcast was designed to share with the world.

Although our ...

This is a very special episode with an old and dear friend of mine, Dace James Hines. Dace and I met in 2014, while living in San Francisco. We spent much time together in those days, so this conversation is a reconnection of old friends. It just so happened that, when I reached out to Dace to have him on the podcast to share what he’s learned about being diagnosed with brain cancer at age 31, I learned that he had rec...
