This episode explores Saturn as the force of discipline, delayed gratification, responsibility, and the kind of satisfaction that can only come from doing hard things over time. I talk about impulse control, the strange freedom of structure, Saturn returns, and why the things you keep avoiding might be exactly where life is trying to initiate you.

What if tension isn’t something to resolve, but one of the places we feel most alive? In this conversation with Fiona Nodar, we explore tension as a spiritual and relational practice—moving through mystery, conflict, creativity, love, free will, and what it means to find God in the friction of being alive.
S2 · E35 · 3 Sep 2026 · 34 min
This episode explores perseverance as one of the essential ingredients of the spiritual path: the quiet, ordinary willingness to keep returning to practice even when nothing exciting seems to be happening. Through stories of devotion, death, discipline, and liberation, we explore why spiritual transformation has less to do with being perfect and more to do with simply refusing to stop.
S2 · E33 · 25 Aug 2026 · 32 min
A pep talk about what it means to take radical responsibility for your inner state in a world where suffering is very, very real. We talk about the difference between processing your emotions and committing to misery, the crying babies keeping you from presence, and why choosing joy might actually be one of the most helpful things you can do.
S2 · E32 · 7 Aug 2026 · 52 min
In this Q&A episode, I answer your questions about fear, shame, rejection, chronic illness, desire, creativity, and what it actually means to work with the hand life deals you. We talk about wanting things without being attached to the outcome, becoming the author of your life, and learning how to let life transform you without recoiling from it.

Kundalini is one of the most misunderstood ideas in modern spirituality. In this episode, I unpack the classical tantric understanding of Kundalini—not as a strange energetic phenomenon, but as the very power of Grace and awakening at work within us—and explore what spiritual purification, surrender, and God realization actually have to do with one another.
S2 · E30 · 14 Jul 2026 · 1 hr 27 min
What if the hardest conflict you'll ever face isn't with another person—but with yourself? In this conversation, Monica Alanna and I explore conflict avoidance, self-betrayal, desire, relationships, and why learning to fight well may be one of the most transformative skills you can develop.

What happens when a practitioner of classical Tantra sits down with a Neo Tantric sex worker? In this wide-ranging conversation, we explore the similarities and differences between classical and Neo Tantra, the role of intimacy in healing, and what spirituality, sexuality, and human connection might have to teach us about one another.
S2 · E28 · 23 Jun 2026 · 1 hr 36 min
In this episode, David Yoss and I attempt the impossible task of explaining classical Tantra in a single conversation. Along the way, we explore its history, philosophy, ritual practices, and common misconceptions, while highlighting just how vast, nuanced, and often misunderstood the Tantric traditions really are.
S2 · E27 · 16 Jun 2026 · 1 hr 50 min
Hanna sits down with artist and tantric yoga teacher Kayla Radhika Miller for a conversation about art as spiritual practice, exploring how beauty, perception, devotion, and creativity can become pathways into deeper relationship with reality. Together, they discuss everything from abstract art and color theory to mantra, discipline, AI art, and the mysterious difference between making something technically correct versus truly alive.

In this solo episode of Gracepilled, Hanna shares the story of how Human Design entered her life during a period of burnout, confusion, and spiritual crisis, eventually becoming a framework that radically changed the way she understands herself, relationships, work, and authenticity. She explores why the system resonated so deeply with her tantric background, how it helped her accept her own nature instead of resisting it, and why learning to honor human difference may be one of the most compassionate spiritual practices available to us.
S2 · E25 · 2 Jun 2026 · 1 hr 31 min
Monika and I sit down for a deeply honest conversation about conflict, intimacy, nervous system regulation, heartbreak, truth-telling, and the strange ways relationships force us to confront ourselves. We explore why so many people avoid difficult conversations, how conflict can become a pathway to deeper connection, and why the life we want may exist on the other side of the conversations we are most afraid to have.
S2 · E24 · 26 May 2026 · 1 hr 39 min
In this episode of Gracepilled, I sat down with writer and animist Sophie Strand for a conversation about mysticism, chronic illness, beauty, ecology, paradox, and the spiritual process of surrendering to a reality that cannot always be explained or controlled. Together we explore animism, Joan of Arc, climate anxiety, mystical experience, riddles and parables, and why some of the deepest spiritual truths only reveal themselves through uncertainty, suffering, and direct lived experience.
S1 · E23 · 26 Nov 2025 · 1 hr 43 min
Monica interviews me about the reality of being online: digital duplicates, attention and distraction, analog vs digital life, creativity, boundaries, authenticity, and what it takes to run Gracepilled without losing your sense of self.
S1 · E22 · 29 Oct 2025 · 1 hr 44 min
In this episode, Monica Alanna and I explore how digital platforms like Instagram, TikTok, Reddit, and YouTube act almost like characters in our lives—shaping culture, attention, and even identity. Through humor, critique, and personal stories, we unpack how social media can be both a tool and a trap, and what it takes to use it with awareness and boundaries.
S1 · E21 · 21 Aug 2025 · 1 hr 45 min
Ramon — poet, philosopher, and teacher — joins me to share the story behind his new poetry collection Drama of the Planets and the spiritual path that shaped it. From childhood stargazing to Rastafari, philosophy, and ecstatic dance, this conversation explores how art, community, and conduct ground a cosmic vision of spirituality.
S1 · E20 · 7 Aug 2025 · 1 hr 48 min
Rev. Cindy Pincus shares the winding journey that led her from culturally Jewish roots to Christian ministry, Indigenous ceremony, and psychic training—all while working closely with death as a chaplain and hospice worker. We talk about spiritual conviction, empire, grief, and the mysterious grace that sometimes shows up right when everything falls apart.
S1 · E19 · 24 Jul 2025 · 1 hr 51 min
This episode explores the intersection of creativity, spirituality, and sensitivity—how Aiden navigates the overwhelm of modern life while staying connected to her intuitive, dreamlike voice. We talk about art-making in the age of algorithms, spiritual recovery, and the accidental monastery retreat that broke her brain open (in the best way).
S1 · E18 · 17 Jul 2025 · 2 hr 1 min
In this episode, I talk with astrologer and writer Diana Rose about how astrology can be a compassionate tool for self-understanding, healing, and deconditioning from cultural “shoulds.” We explore the power of relational healing, village life, mystical childhoods, and how Diana’s devotionally-oriented animism shapes the way she practices and lives astrology.
S1 · E17 · 3 Jul 2025 · 2 hr 8 min
In this episode, Hanna and returning guest Rami Abu Sitta explore the inner terrain of running a spiritual business—where authenticity, shadow work, and self-inquiry meet marketing and visibility. Together they unpack the tension between being of service and being perceived, and reflect on what it means to show up as a whole, imperfect human in a world that often demands polish.
S1 · E16 · 26 Jun 2025 · 1 hr 55 min
In this episode, Yumi Sakugawa shares the winding path of their spiritual life—from depression and disconnection to ancestral reclamation, intuitive art-making, and profound healing after a traumatic psychedelic experience. We talk about Okinawa, creative discipline as ritual, soul fragmentation, and what it means to draw the invisible.
S1 · E15 · 19 Jun 2025 · 1 hr 57 min
Today, I’m joined by John Rainey—author, seeker, and explorer of unity consciousness. Once a devoted Christian, working as a youth pastor, his search for deeper truth led him beyond the walls of his religion and into the wild, uncharted expanse of direct experience of the divine. His journey to me is the perfect example of how deep questioning can lead someone to the truth — a potent question he asked himself one day changed the course of his life. But I’ll save that story for the interview. Let’s get into it.
S1 · E14 · 12 Jun 2025 · 1 hr 48 min
Aidan Wachter is a self-described “mongrel animist” and magical practitioner whose path has been shaped less by systems and more by direct experience, dirt, string, and a willingness to listen deeply to the spirits that walk with him. In this conversation, Aidan shares how punk rock led him to magic, how a major breakdown clarified his role as a teacher and healer (even if those titles make him cringe), and why the tools we already have might be more than enough. We talk about animism, autonomy, spiritual hoarding, ancestor complications, embodied spirit work, and the dangers of trying to…
S1 · E13 · 5 Jun 2025 · 1 hr 59 min
We cover: Solstice's spiritual evolution from childhood Christianity, to militant atheism, to Buddhist studenthood, and finally to a grounded, non-dual, love-centered worldview. The idea that everything—yes, everything—is God, including darkness, discomfort, and so-called “evil.” A radical re-reading of the Bible through the lens of mysticism, metaphor, and personal development. How New Age material helped Solstice reconnect with the Bible in a more empowering and embodied way. The concept of “Love Your Judas”: seeing betrayal, pain, and hardship as portals to transformation. The distinction…
S1 · E12 · 29 May 2025 · 1 hr 54 min
Today, I’m joined by Bob Peck—author, award-winning filmmaker, mystic, and, dare I say, spiritual comedian. Fascinated by spirituality and philosophy from a young age, Bob has approached the spiritual path like a true connoisseur of the vast wisdom smorgasbord that is world religion. His deep knowledge of many traditions makes him a grounded and insightful guide, as he has demonstrated in his book Original Sin Is a Lie. With a warm heart, Bob invites us to explore the territory beyond dogma and uncover our true selves. Let’s get into it.

What it’s really like to need help and receive care The tension between hyper-independence and community support Advocating for yourself in broken systems (like healthcare) The messy, unglamorous reality of “the village” How crisis can reveal — and reshape — our relationships
S1 · E10 · 15 May 2025 · 1 hr 51 min
Today, I’m joined by Nataraj Chaitanya—a seasoned yogi, philosopher, and teacher with over two decades of experience in classical Tantra, Mantra, Bhakti, and Yoga philosophy. Beginning his meditation and yoga practice at the age of 13, Nataraj has dedicated his life to sharing his embodiment of the transformative teachings of tantra, leading retreats, workshops, and teacher training programs worldwide. Now, as you’ll hear, Nataraj is my spiritual brother. We share a lineage — both of our gurus were disciples of Swami Muktananda, so we both have been influenced quite strongly by the flavor of…
S1 · E9 · 8 May 2025 · 1 hr 44 min
Today, I’m joined by Meredith Graves—musician, writer, and lifelong student of not only magic and all things western esotericism, but a deep devotee of awe and wonder. Known for her fierce presence in punk music and independent media, Meredith’s life has always been centered around her spirituality — like a nymph leaping from one career to another, it’s not about her role in the world. It’s about the way she engages with life, what she courts in all of her actions. A true, esoteric householder, if you ask me. As a dedicated magician, she weaves together art, ritual, history, and the hidden…
S1 · E8 · 1 May 2025 · 1 hr 46 min
Today, I’m joined by Jory Pryor—inter-spiritual scholar-practitioner rooted in Advaita Vedanta and shakta tantra, with a background in the Christian tradition and a deep appreciation for global expressions of non-duality. As the host of the Methods of Contemplation podcast, Jory engages in thoughtful dialogues exploring diverse spiritual paths and contemplative practices. He’s also the author of Becoming All Light: The Non-Dual Heart of Christianity, inviting readers to awaken to their true, luminous nature. I’ve often sent my own students to Jory whenever they’ve expressed an interest in…

Erina’s life has been an unfolding through the kind of darkness that strips everything away. In the midst of it all, a series of divine encounters shifted her path, revealing the divinity within her. Through a process of surrender, curiosity and sincerity she stopped resisting and started seeing, understanding. Now, she moves with life as a dance, finding rhythm in the ebb and flow, and strength in the stillness between. And through all of it, she’s become a powerful healer and practitioner, utilizing several modalities—Quantum Touch, sound therapy with tuning forks, aromatherapy, and yin…
