Friends,

First: gratitude. Thank you for hanging out and listening to LIGHT WORK. The response continues to be... surprisingly amazing. I'm going to make so much more for you — and that's the first announcement: New podcast!! For you. All the love. This summer.

In the meantime, there's this for you... announcement #2: I've got a new conversation out that I had with one of my dearest friends, Jeff Krasno (co-founder of Wanderlust ...

Friends, this is the last episode of the podcast. And, of course, it's devoted to one of my favourites: Devotion. We're shining light on our prayers, our beliefs, our teachers… and whether they're actually getting us closer to what we really want—liberation. We're talking about the real work of light work.
 
There are some doozer questions to chew on in this ep:
 
  1. Do your beliefs lib...

This episode is about our personal activism. I'm talking about how we can get justice, without incurring too much karma. About how to fight corruption without the anger burning us out. About the importance of being inclusive—to even the bad guys. I'm talking about how to be a revolutionary for just love.
 
Here's the trip:

If God is in the details, then the Soul is in a good Q&A. And that's the substance of Podcast #4: Beliefs, Movies & Man Crushes.
 
Your questions make it so easy for me to rant and offer some (hopefully) useful how-to's and tricks of the trade. The "trade" being discernment and devotion. It's deep, it's lite, I hope it's all right:
 
  • Have I ever Feng Shui'ed my house? The short answe...

I've talked to rabbis, priests, monks, and people who I consider to be high esoteric practitioners. I've figured out a few things about joy… and woven them into this week's episode. Listen in for:

  • Should you leave your soul-dulling job and follow your joy to France? (Maybe.) I've got some ideas on HOW to buck fear and obligation.
  • The difference between happiness and joy, and a story from my divorce about the first time that I ...

No tip-toeing in this episode: I deep dive into the unfathomable, beautiful lessons we may learn from pain… without falling for the New Age speak that would have us gloss over real suffering.
 
Also in this EP:
  • The 3 types of suffering (knowing what you're experiencing is key to liberation)
    • Everyday suffering—the slog, the general malaise, the greyness.
    • Interconnected suffering—the feeling...

We're connection starved, we know this. Let me give you a peek into my own circle of friendship. In this first episode of LIGHT WORK, I use my own crew as how-to examples for creating radical support and sweetness in your life. Also in this episode:
  1. Compelling reasons for resisting the perfectly normal urge to play the therapist with your lover-person (don't do it)
  2. A script for starting your own Goddess Group
  3. Relati...

Light Makers, I finally did it. Made a podcast. This was creatively edgy for me. Because it's... just me... sitting in my podcast closet (it really is a closet), waxing philosophical for about an hour. There was a distinctly different feel about this creative venture like feeling EXPOSED. But, deep breath and a great back beat, thanks to my friends DJ Drez + Marti Nikko, and here we go!
