The Architecture of Reasoning

Renaissance Woman ·

2025/10/27

This episode explores the architecture of reasoning itself. From the logic of deduction, induction, and abduction to the psychology of fast and slow thinking, it breaks down how our minds build conclusions, why we fall for biases, and how we can strengthen our critical thinking. Think of this episode as a practical guide to understanding how good reasoning helps you (as an individual and as a community) make better decisions.

Resilience

Renaissance Woman ·

2025/10/15

This episode explores the art of resilience and the power of beginning again. Through stories of artists, thinkers, and creators—from Maya Angelou to Leonard Cohen, Frida Kahlo, and Beethoven—it reflects on how people turn hardship into hope and creation.

Surveillance

Renaissance Woman ·

2025/10/08

In this episode, I’m unpacking the story of surveillance—where it began, how it’s evolved, and what it’s doing to us now. We’ll look at how thinkers help us understand power through watching, and how that plays out today in government monitoring, corporate data collection, and the erosion of privacy. I’ll talk about how deep the surveillance runs, how it shapes our behavior, and most importantly, what we can do to resist. We're being watched, and we need to take some of that power back.

The Politics of Distraction

Renaissance Woman ·

2025/10/01

From ancient Rome’s bread and circuses to today’s endless outrage cycles, distraction has always been a tool of power. Governments and media flood us with scandals, spectacles, and noise not to inform but to divert. While attention is captured by drama, the real decisions that shape our lives unfold in the background. This episode unpacks the strategies of distraction including dead cat moments, outrage bait, and the flood of trivial news that keeps us divided and exhausted. Drawing on the id...

Sister Signs

Renaissance Woman ·

2025/07/18

⚠️ WARNING: This episode is nothing like the others. It’s wildly explicit, unapologetically raunchy, and completely off the rails. Ridiculous, unfiltered, and deliciously funny; you’re going to love every second. That said, please give a chaotic (and very warm) welcome to my incredible roommate Ryan, and our temporary roommate, Brenton!

Propaganda

Renaissance Woman ·

2025/07/02

In this episode, we peel back the layers of propaganda—what it is, how it works, and why it matters. From yellow journalism in 1898 to TikTok memes in 2025, you'll trace the evolution of influence across wars, elections, social movements, and digital platforms. We explore classic propaganda techniques (like card stacking, glittering generalities, and name-calling), unpack landmark examples from U.S. history, and reveal how propaganda doesn’t just reflect reality—it often shapes what com...

Psychic Attacks, Spiritual Activations, and the Power...

Renaissance Woman ·

2025/05/29

In this episode, I share how a terrifying psychic attack on New Year's Eve became the catalyst that transformed my unconscious spiritual practices into conscious awareness. What I'd been quietly exploring without realizing it suddenly became clear, pushing me deeply into shadow work and intentional healing. Now guiding shadow work workshops myself, I discuss how acknowledging and facing our hidden selves can unlock profound strength, clarity, and growth.

The Authoritarian Playbook in History and Today

Renaissance Woman ·

History may not repeat itself—but it does rhyme. Join us for an exploration of democracy’s fragile descent into fascism, where we discuss patterns repeated from Mussolini’s Italy and Nazi Germany to Pinochet’s Chile.

Just Me and Poems I Love

Renaissance Woman ·

2025/04/23

Today, I did something different. I read poems—just read them. Out loud. Because I love to read out loud. Maya Angelou, Edgar Allan Poe, Amanda Gorman, Frank O’Hara, Shel Silverstein, E.E. Cummings... Poems that have shaped me. This episode is a love letter to language, to rhythm, to resonance. The quiet intimacy of being alive.

We're All in a Complacency Crisis

Renaissance Woman ·

2025/04/16

We brace for disaster when it’s loud. But we rarely notice it when it builds slowly, quietly, over time. This episode explores complacency—what happens to us, and to our society, when we stop paying attention. It weakens democracy. It hollows out relationships. It convinces us to settle for less than we need or deserve. Today, I’m talking about why complacency happens, how it spreads, and what it costs us when we’re too tired—or too afraid—to confront it. If you’ve been coasting, this is your...

The Art of Arguing

Renaissance Woman ·

2025/04/09

We’ve been taught to fear arguments. To avoid them. To win them. But the real purpose of an argument isn’t victory. It’s understanding. In this episode, we explore the lost art of arguing well — not to overpower, but to connect. You’ll learn why most arguments fall apart, the patterns that quietly sabotage us, and the simple, practical tools that can shift the tone of any tough conversation. A strong arguer doesn’t shout. They listen. They reflect. They speak with clarity and care. Arguing we...
