  • Which Witch Is a Witch? | Language, Labels, and Lost Meaning
    Feb 2 2026

    The word witch gets used casually now—
    as metaphor, insult, or shorthand for fear.

    But words don’t lose their history just because time passes.

    In this episode, we explore how witches were transformed into villains, how language reshaped practice into accusation, and how stories—especially fairy tales—helped replace people with caricatures.

    This isn’t about belief.
    It’s about how language shapes memory—and what gets lost when we stop questioning it.

  • Can You Be Spiritual Without Religion?
    Jan 26 2026

    In this episode, Jim reflects on why so many people feel the need to explain that question — and what it says about belief, connection, and permission. This isn’t a conversation about doctrine or labels. It’s about experience, awareness, and the moments that feel meaningful without needing approval.

    If you’ve ever felt connected to something bigger, but unsure how to define it, this episode invites you to sit with that question.

  • A Nation in Crisis — How Did We Get Here?
    Jan 19 2026

    In this episode, Jim pauses the planned conversation to address a deeper question facing the country today. This is not a political directive, but a reflective look at how we arrived at this moment—through decades of choices, cracks, and crossroads.

    What happens when silence is no longer neutral? And once we understand how we got here, where do we go from here?
