EP 6 SANPRITI IRELAND

Sanpriti is a brilliant astrologer and holistic healer who left the world of allopathic medicine to embark on a profound journey of self-healing and spiritual awakening. In this conversation, she shares her personal story and offers deep insights into astrology, Gene Keys, and the transformative power of self-discovery. Together, we explore a range of personal and spiritual topics, including astrological transitions—particularly those occurring in one's late thirties and forties—and how they shape our paths. Sanpriti and I delve into our individual journeys of overcoming challenges, embracing authenticity, and cultivating intimacy with ourselves and others. We also discuss the importance of self-care practices and their role in personal growth. The conversation concludes with a look at the upcoming Venus retrograde and its potential impact on alignment and transformation.

EP 5 RACHEL KACENJAR

Rachel is a serial entrepreneur who first made waves in the plus size fashion industry before transitioning into business and nonprofit consulting. With a keen eye for strategy and a passion for transformation, she has built and supported countless ventures and community projects—but her favorite job of all was being an edible chef during the height of the pandemic, where creativity and serving her community came together in the best possible ways. Rachel spent seven years trying to have a baby, only to face the heartbreak of losing her reproductive system. But in the face of loss, love showed up in the most profound way: friends rallied together to fund surrogacy, and a dear friend became the gestational carrier who made parenthood possible. Beyond her work, Rachel is a hobbyist interior designer, an avid flower arranger, and a dedicated baker—attempting to bring beauty, warmth, and a little bit of magic to every space she touches.

EP 4 CHRIS SLAYMAKER

Chris Slaymaker is a brilliant and prolific artist based in Los Angeles. Not only is he my partner, but he is also the talented illustrator behind all the Pause Portal Portraits—including this striking self-portrait! While we initially delved into his journey as a professional artist, we decided to center this episode around his deeply personal and transformative spiritual seeking. Rest assured, we’ll have him back soon to explore his artistic journey in greater detail, as it is equally captivating and inspiring. In this episode, Chris opens up about the origins of his spiritual path, the profound sensation of feeling infinite, his mischievous teenage escapades involving stolen bottles of Zima, and the intense, blissful—yet at times alienating—awakening he experienced through the yogic practice of fasting. He also shares some thought-provoking reflections on one of my favorite topics: neurodivergence. Be sure to check out the links below to explore and support Chris’ incredible work.
