Podcast EP 17 Solstice Threshold — On Minimalism, Attention & the Timelines You're Still Writing

In this unscripted solo “solstice journal,” I reflect on the New Moon and the December Solstice as a practical gateway: a moment to shed old skin, reclaim attention, and choose your own timeline in a noisy world. I share thoughts on spiritual practice, minimalist living, unplugging from the attention economy and staying grounded while the collective feels intense. The episode also includes an update on Fauun Books and my love of old spiritual texts, including upcoming titles like The Blue Island and The Astral Plane.
