A podcast that explores how we can live and apply spirituality outside of the world of meditation and deep breaths and in our daily lives of chaos, systemic oppression, injustice, and inequality.
Although both from privileged backgrounds, your hosts, Monique and Colin, have each undergone their own spiritual dark nights of the soul in one way or another and have gone through hell and back. Now, they share their experiences and explore what our everyday world could look like from a spiritual lens.

Unveiling the Illusion: Exploring Control Systems in Our Modern Matrix
In this episode, the hosts dive into the concept of modern illusions and control systems reminiscent of the movie 'The Matrix.' They discuss how people live in a facade of freedom while being controlled by visible and invisible systems. The conversation touches on wealth inequality, political manipulation, and how powerful elites influence global decisions. They investigate whether true free will exists and the idea that institutions like governments and religious organizations contribute to maintaining control. They stress the importance of awareness, self-agency, and the potential for small groups to change the world, concluding with a reminder to distrust imposed narratives and cultivate individual perception.
