As Winter rolls around, life usually slows down too: more time indoors, less time at work, and more time to ourselves. For our final episode of 2023, Mory and Melissa talk about how the season is a chance to spend more time looking inward. The intensity of our internal emotions makes it easy - necessary even - to distract ourselves with the external world. It can be nearly impossible to reflect inward when we feel like we’re always on the clock, as though every moment has to be productive in order to be good. Whether we like it or not, this repression is unsustainable. Mother Nature offers an opportunity to reflect, realign, and listen to our inner wisdoms as the business of life finally slows down in the winter months. Tune in to hear more about how you can take a pause without making it productive, why community is left out of the conversation, and what we’ve got planned for 2024! Thank you all so much for listening, and happy holidays!

Every year, more American adults say they believe in reincarnation, a concept that has existed throughout human history and across the globe. But, for a philosophy so famous, not much is known about the inner workings of past lives. How can we connect with our past lives? How do prior life experiences show up in our current lives? And the question on everyone’s minds: is reincarnation something we can prove? This week, an optimistic Mory and an undecided Melissa trade personal stories, thrilling case studies, and a sprinkling of scientific research to show that the debate on reincarnation is far from settled. Mory recounts how her meeting with esteemed Past Life Psychic Ainslie MacLeod helped her make sense of guilt (and also proved her eternal love for Paris). Melissa narrates the real-life story of James Leininger, a toddler who recounted the plane crash of an American pilot with inexplicable accuracy. If you’re convinced, curious, or even skeptical about the possibility of a karmic world, there’s no better place to be.

Some experts believe that there might be close to 10,000 cults in the United States alone. What draws so many people into cults? How exactly do they work? And most importantly - what counts as a cult!? Melissa and Mory trade stories on some of the big names in cult history, including Charles Manson and Jim Jones, who offer a glimpse into the collective delusions and infamous crimes that have excited popular imagination. But, there’s something about cults that’s almost universal. Can we really blame cult members for craving a sense of belonging, especially when the world outside is sometimes unbearable to live in? And, wouldn’t it be fair to say that our political systems and religious institutions thrive off of dominating those who are disconnected from their intuitive wisdom, much like cults themselves? In this week’s episode, we hear about how (not) to become a toxic cult leader, why tootsie rolls are actually to die for, and Melissa’s growing - but misguided - suspicion that Mory might be trying to start a cult of her own.
