S05E06 About Terror

S05E07 About Faith

This week on The Tiny Pod is all About Faith. Faith isn't just a feeling, it is a state of being fully sure. Faith is inner fortitude. “Faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.” Everything we now see was once unseen: houses, buildings, clothes, cars were all once just faith that they were possible. Faith is not 'I’ll believe it when I see it,' Faith is "I will see it when I believe it. I will see it because I believe it> Faith is not a strategy, it is a frequency, a walk of life, a choice. Faith is not subject to or dependent on external circumstances, faith remains constant. Faith is a choice that strengthens in endurance and comforts in the storms. Faith is connection. I have loved creating podcasts here on Apple Podcasts and Spotify. It took a leap of faith to begin the Tiny Pod, and what started as a Tiny Pod, a mustard seed of faith, has grown into a tree. This will be my last episode here on Spotify And Apple Podcasts. This sanctuary is moving to Patreon. I am really excited about this next chapter. Patreon feels safe, secure and intentional, a community where people invest, choose and connect. I value my podcasts and am taking a leap of faith that Patreon will sustain The Tiny Pod. To those who want to, I will see you on the other side on Patreon. To everyone else, I wish you peace, love and faith on your journey. Miranda x

S05E06 About Terror

This week on The Tiny Pod is all About Terror. Historically, terror is a tool used by governments for control, distraction away from their atrocities, to instil fear to paralyse any resistance. Terror only survives when we are disconnected - from ourselves, from truth and from each other. The solution is in your nervous system. When we are rooted in ourselves, we cannot be shaken by terror. See you next week, M x

S05E05 About Grief

This week on the Tiny Pod is all About Grief. Grief is found in the everyday, it begins in birth with that first loss of connection from the safety of the womb and compounds throughout childhood with every lost micro connection, trauma, neglect, and moments of rejection and humiliation just for being ourself. We learn early to carry it silently, to adapt, to cope using all the coping mechanisms we can find- denial, avoidance, fantasy, illusion, repression. We get so familiar carrying grief it becomes “normal” and “familiar” in our nervous system. But unfelt grief is heavy, exhausting and impacts us physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. When we allow ourselves to feel our grief, to acknowledge our losses and witness our past hurts, we free ourselves from being run by the past. We step into presence, and power. There is so much collective grief in the world now it can feel debilitating if we are still carrying our own unprocessed personal grief. As we heal, we create space and capacity to connect, to love, to act and to experience joy fully, deeply, now. See you next week week, Miranda x

S05E04 About Courage

In honour of Alex Pretti, Renee Good, and every single human who has courage to stand up to injustice, this week on The Tiny Pod is all About Courage. The word courage comes from the Latin word ‘cod’ meaning heart. Courage comes from the heart. Our heart is the source of our power, it is the strongest electromagnetic field, it generates our energy. Broken hearts, hard hearts, act from fear. Cowards hide their faces behind masks, their malice behind power and authority. They are hiding from themselves, from their accountability, from their heart. A regulated person stands, shows their face, and has nothing to hide. Historically it has always taken courage for the world to change - the abolitionists, the suffragettes, the civil rights movement were all acts of great courage. Courage is whole hearted, and it asks us to heal our own hearts, to open our hearts and to live wholeheartedly. In a world of terror and violence, there is a temptation to close, to harden. The revolution is to soften, to remain open, to feel and to love. Those who love power forget the power of love. Love overcomes, love wins. Amor Omnia Vincit, M xx

S05E03 About Immigrant

.. And Illegal Alien, and inalienable rights and alienation. This week on the Tiny Pod is all about neutral, natural words immigrant and alien becoming charged when media-political narratives were created as a distraction for power to hide behind. Dehumanising language removes dignity and protection. Labelling a human being an “illegal alien,” criminalises the person, and strips them of their humanity. Power uses law to enact violence under the cover of impunity. Immigration is ancient, biblical, natural. We are all immigrants, moving from town to town, from emotional state to emotional state. From life to life. We are all One Human Race. One Humanity. One Love, Miranda x
