A goose meditation on how absurd moments expose the identities we slowly accept without choosing. How shame, habit, and visibility ultimately govern who we become if we don't intervene.It's the season finale! Today I reflect on what has been left unsaid across the series. I discuss a meeting with a business man, my hangups with the local ice cream parlour and finally remark on where I’m actually at right now with a pretty honest take on why I’ve come to Ecuador.

The Sacred +Profane Podcast nephtaragrace The Sacred + Profane Podcast is a provocative conversation dedicated to cementing a better future for all. We specialize in unpacking the nuances of what is considered sacred and profane, particularly focusing on sex, death, and all that pertains to the circle of life. Our aim in focusing on such ”taboo” subject matter is to demystify what is unconscious, bring to light what has been known for centuries as ”the occult,” and empower the rapid transformation that is occurring on the Planet.
