The ‘Soulcruzer’ podcast (more of an audioblog, really).
Expect a blend of mysticism and music, psyche and soul, everyday wisdom, and the esoteric. One day, I might be waxing lyrical about Nietzsche’s eternal return, and the next, uncovering the wisdom of the tarot. It’s all up for grabs on this pod.
So, if first-person confessional style podcasts are your jam, subscribe to mine wherever you get your podcasts. I’m on all of the major platforms.
Q: what is it about me that i can’t keep my virtual hands off of creativity, love, mysticism, and misfit ontology?

In the world of Jungian psychology, the concepts of the “senex” and “puer” archetypes have captured the attention of many. These archetypes, identified by renowned psychologist Carl Jung, represent two contrasting aspects of the human psyche. Understanding these archetypes and how they manifest in our lives can help us achieve...

Tapping Into Intuition Life is composed of countless experiences, encounters, and events that collectively influence and define our journey through existence. At first glance, these occurrences may seem random and disconnected, mere happenstances in the grand scheme of things. However, when we take a closer look, we begin to see...
In today’s fast-paced, technology-driven world, it’s easy to feel disconnected from nature and overwhelmed by the stresses of daily life. However, there’s a simple and powerful practice that can help us reconnect with the natural world and promote personal growth and well-being: forest bathing.

Listen to this post: I’ve been on a journey to find a new balance between mind and heart. In the past, I’ve been accused of spending too much time in my head, often disappearing into my thoughts for days at a time. Though physically present, my mind would be elsewhere....
Why journal? Journaling is a powerful tool for self-expression, reflection, and personal growth. It provides a safe and private space to explore our innermost thoughts, feelings, and experiences without fear of judgement or criticism. By putting pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard), we engage in a process of self-discovery...
As I’m beginning to do more active imagination and dream work, I thought it might be a good idea to start profiling the various entities and beings I meet on my inner journeys. As I shared with you yesterday, Lilith appeared in my dreams. And this morning, utilising Jung’s active...

In the whirlwind of modern life, it’s easy to feel torn between our primal instincts and our higher aspirations.

We all have an inner world—a landscape filled with our experiences, thoughts, feelings, struggles, dreams, and all the drama that makes up our lives. Yet so often, this rich internal space remains terra incognita, even to ourselves. We may only vaguely sense the outlines of our inner truths without fully...
The ancient Taoist text, the Tao Te Ching, speaks of a state called Wu Wei, typically translated as “non-action” or “non-doing.” But this is misleading. Wu Wei does not refer to literally doing nothing or simply being lazy and passive. Rather, it describes a state of alignment with the cosmic...
Introduction “Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.” Helen Keller This profound quote from Helen...
People often ask me what’s the difference between personal growth and personal development. While many people use the terms “personal growth” and “personal development” interchangeably, there are some distinct differences between these two concepts that are important to understand. In this post, I’ll break down the key differences so you...
Our thoughts form the foundation of our inner world, the vast, luminous landscape of private experience. Simply put, a thought is anything that occupies the mind, from fleeting observations to long-held beliefs.

I stumbled across the best metaphor to describe living in the present moment. It’s from the book The Tao of Daily Life by Derek Lin.
The words we use to describe our lives have an uncanny way of shaping our reality. The stories we tell ourselves and the language we use to frame our circumstances dictate how we perceive and interact with the world around us. As the linguist Benjamin Lee Whorf hypothesised, the very...
