#67 - 2025 recap, “No Gracias” to Fake Teachers and How We Finally Found Something Real

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from the coast of El Salvador. This one starts the way real life starts, half-laughing at the camera, waves crashing, and two hearts trying to say something simple and true from a rustic little spot in a village called Tequilo.We look back on a wild, unexpected year (India, holy places, hard lessons, real gratitude), and we share what changed everything for us: getting serious about truth, letting go of the “business” version of spirituality, and praying to be guided to a living spiritual master in a real line of gurus. It’s tender, with affectionate teasing and big, honest statements about bhakti yoga, chanting the Hare Krishna Mahamantra, and what “mercy” feels like when it actually starts working on you from the inside out.There’s also a personal share about grief, shelter, and the shaky feeling of realizing none of us are ever truly secure in temporary things, then the relief of turning that need for shelter toward God, and toward steady guidance and community. If you’re tired of surface-level fixes, if you’re looking for something sober and real, this episode is for you.
