Lunch Time - Lunch Time with Demons

Season Two (Ep18) The episode opens with casual check-ins about the week before diving into the main theme: food. Since the podcast was originally created so Bella could have companionship during lunch, and Ryan is a former chef, the episode centers on their shared love of food. They swap favorite dishes (Ryan loves tiramisu and ribeye; Bella gravitates toward Indian, Mediterranean, and filet mignon), trade restaurant recommendations, and reflect on how the best meals are made with love and intention. The conversation weaves in spiritual experiences around food, including a memorable story Bella shares about the demon Belial guiding her through an entire meal from wine pairings to bite combinations at a restaurant in Memphis. The episode transitions into more spiritually focused territory in its second half, covering topics like connecting with the divine through everyday experiences, finding magic in small things like clovers and wildflowers, and the importance of mindful, intentional eating. Bella shares insights from her personal practice, including her longstanding relationship with the Hindu deity Shiva and recent visions involving Kali. The episode closes with a spontaneous tarot reading using the Chrysalis Tarot deck, pulling the Tower card as a sign of impending change both hosts interpret it as an invitation to actively burn down what no longer serves you, so something more expansive can be built. Bella wraps things up with gratitude toward listeners, celebrating surpassing 10,000 downloads before the podcast's one-year anniversary.
