  • 91. Amorality, Suffering and Manifestation (Part 1) ft. Jaliessa Sipress

    01:07:22
    This is one of my favourite episodes to date! I’m joined by the brilliant astrologer wizard Jaliessa Sipress to discuss amorality, the nature of suffering, manifestation and human dualityAmorality and moving away from good/bad and right/wrongManifestation and moving away from mainstream models. Engaging with world suffering and debating the idea of resilienceSocial expectations, fear of judgement and being labelled a “bad” personIs it possible to engage in the suffering of others without becoming consumed by it?Detachment and choosing what to prioritize. The concept of urgencyPart 2 is IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE over on Patreon!

  • 90. People Pleasing Causes More Conflict than it Resolves

    49:18
    I didn’t stutter! On this episode we are graced with Nyak’s presence to discuss all things people pleasing. Is it a tool that helps avoid conflict, or does it actively contribute to it? We read out your juicy people pleaser DMs (thanks for sending them) and discuss polyamory and a dust up with a psychic (oops! everyone pray for us😬). Additionally: Communicating capacity and boundaries in friendshipsCommunication styles over textOverextending oneself and its consequencesHow to communicate the inability to hold spaceAppropriate vs. Inappropriate white liesReferencesInstagram video on communication types: https://t.ly/VukEuJoin the highest Patreon for 4-5 full length episodes a month: https://patreon.com/iswisInstagram: iswis_podcast + mukundwa_Got thoughts?

  • 81. Leave Amanda Seales alone! Black Autistic Women are Targets

    14:51
    Amanda Seales is being unfairly dog-pilled on. When people are cut down because they're honest and direct, what does this say about society at large? If it's unsafe for a successful, effective, beautiful neurotypical woman (I recorded this a week before she shared she was autistic - okay psychic!) to be unflinching in her anti-establishment critiques, what hope is there for the average black autistic woman? This episode dissects bullying dynamics, the price of honesty, Hollywood, blackness and the isolation that comes from being a truth-teller. I discuss:The Unfair Treatment of Amanda Seales and Its Implications on black autistic womenThe Intersection of Autism, Likability, and Professional SuccessBlack Hollywood, oppression, and how bullies thrive in silenceJoin the highest Patreon for 4-5 full length episodes a month: https://patreon.com/iswisInstagram: iswis_podcast + mukundwa_Got thoughts?
