  • Hitchhiker’s Guide to: The Revolution Will Be Televised... and Bought
    Oct 28 2025

    In this episode of Hitchhiker’s Guide to Humanity, we lay it all out: the crumbling systems, the constitutional bs, and the spiritual hangover of living through a real-time revolution.

    How did we get here? This is a call to arms (and heart) for all of us, the empaths, the tired humans trying to stay sane while everything breaks apart.

    Don't forget, dear humans. They're not the only ones who can break the rules.

    Here's the rundown of this episode:

    • Why the Constitution isn’t sacred
    • The spiritual to alt-right pipeline (yes, that's a thing...)
    • What a nationwide economic blackout (Nov 25–Dec 2) could actually do
    • The real secret weapon to this revolution

    🎧 Tune in, turn up your discernment, and maybe rewatch Scrooged in protest.

  • Hitchhiker’s Guide to: Existing Is Enough
    Oct 10 2025

    In this episode of Hitchhiker’s Guide to Humanity, your favorite host (who finally remembers to introduce herself on air), erica from Earth Decoded, gets real about the pressure to “seize the day” and the toxic productivity culture hiding behind ancient Stoic quotes. Inspired by a passage from the Daily Stoic, this episode unpacks the shame spiral around doing “nothing,” why existing is a revolutionary act, and how resting your nervous system is actually part of your soul mission.

    You’ll hear hot takes on Seneca’s motivational guilt trip, why capitalism is the real villain, and how to find peace in the meh.

    You don’t have to be a content machine. You’re human. That’s enough.

  • Hitchhiker’s Guide to: You’re Already the Temple, So Why Are You Praying for Escape?
    Sep 24 2025

    In this episode of Hitchhiker's Guide, we’re cracking open the myth of the Rapture and asking the big questions: What if salvation isn’t found in the sky, but in your body? What if we have everything we need already?

    Let's take a journey through trauma healing, somatic release, and the realization that your body isn’t something to transcend, that it’s the portal you’ve been praying to find.

    We talk about:

    • The quantum mechanics of belief
    • Why trauma is a cycle and not an identity
    • How cognitive therapy is necessary, but your nervous system is the real OG
    • And how screaming in the car is a sacred ritual

    Let's dive right into the details...
