In this episode, I sit down with queer mystic and spiritual powerhouse Juno Lux Epifanio (they/he), Founder and Executive Director of The Haus of H—a nonprofit spiritual center reimagining what queer belonging can truly look like.

With a master’s degree in social work, a deep command of mystical and esoteric traditions, and a devotion to uplifting our community, Juno has created an ecosystem of care for queer people unlike anything that has existed before. Their work positions queer liberation as both a social and spiritual movement, using immersive retreats and creative experiences to fuel The Haus of H’s mission of building systems of care that honor LGBTQ+ lives across generations.

Think the heart of a social worker, the fire of an activist, and the soul of a mystic—Juno’s leadership is living ritual.

We drop straight into what real, grounded support for the GBTQ+ community looks like, why reclaiming our personal narratives is a radical act of liberation, and how presence and mindfulness can change the way we move through sex, identity, and community.

We also dive into our upcoming retreat, Fruits of Freedom, and the intention behind creating a space where queer men can finally breathe, open, heal, and celebrate themselves without apology.

From May 1–4, 2026, Juno and I will be co-facilitating this sacred retreat in Smithfield, Utah, alongside Dillon Diaz, Leo Rising, Kai Franco, and Simón Malvaez. Together, we’re crafting a deeply held, deeply queer container for GBTQ+ people to rediscover their sexual selves with freedom, hope, and unapologetic empowerment.

In this week’s guided meditation, I lead the Woo-Woo Crew through a gratitude-based exercise (for my friends who like fitness, you’ll appreciate the title of this episode).

EMOM stands for “Every minute on the minute” and it’s a common workout structure in HIIT-style classes.

Here in this meditation, I use the EMOM style to focus on gratitude, leading you through an opportunity to deeply focus on one person, place, or thing that you’re grateful for each minute.

Give this exercise a try. I’m curious as to how it’ll go for you.

As we step into the month of November, this is a time of reflection and appreciation, so being diligent about gratitude can be a source of peace, hope, and encouragement to guide us through troubled waters.

In this guided meditation, we practice coming home to ourselves—one breath at a time.

We close our eyes, ground, and welcome the full truth of our present-moment experience.

* What is it like to be you today—in your body, in your breath, in your mind?

Instead of judging or fixing, we let curiosity lead. We notice sensations, emotions, and thoughts, and we allow all of it to be here. This is simple, honest mindfulness: settle, breathe, and meet yourself exactly as you are.

If you’re craving a reset that’s gentle but real, press play and follow along.
