Hiii, Vortex! What an ep this is. Today, Elle's recent deviation from a daily spiritual practice is our launching pad. We get into the nuanced lessons this time of "getting off track" has taught her, and the pressure we put on ourselves to remain militantly consistent with our practices. Specifically, we examine what a "spiritual practice" actually is - IS it sitting on the mat in meditation every day? Or can that definition be expanded? We also speak to our cyclical nature as humans and practicing self-forgiveness in seasons where consistency wanes.

A rather large and wild tangent also inhabits the dead center of this episode, in which we unpack cancel culture, particularly around the recent Colleen Ballinger scandal that's taken the Youtube world by storm. We wrap it all back around by returning to nuance as the centerpiece of it all, and conclude that nothing - from committing to a daily spiritual practice to cancelling a Youtube star - is black and white. Wheee, thanks for coming along for the ride! We love ya! Vortex out.
