Episode description

I’m back! And so happy to be back. Lately, I’ve been inching closer to my book deadline while simultaneously processing the new ways I’ve been rewriting the mother code over the last six months. This most recent “trimester” of book writing has inspired a lot of change not only in my writing process but myself. I share how the transformation process coincides with all aspects of myself: the academic, the personal, the spiritual. Learning to alchemize these while working and growing new sides of myself, like my shamanic side, has been illuminating.

I go into some of the questions that have been coming up in this work, such as: what are the implications for myself and the world as I rewrite the mother code? Once made, these connections must be constantly renewed and nurtured. I share some reflections on our most recent retreat and how truly meaningful it was to connect with this community. Especially in these times, the state of the world touches the state of my heart. Time feels different. Continuing the work to rewrite the mother code feels more critical than ever.
