What goes around comes around… or does it?

In this episode of Talk Trippy to Me, Hannah and Mykalise dive into one of humanity’s oldest and most misunderstood ideas: karma. Is karma a cosmic scorecard, a spiritual law, a psychological phenomenon, or simply a story we tell ourselves to make sense of justice and consequence?

Together, they explore the historical origins of karma in ancient Indian traditions, how the concept evolved through Hindu, Buddhist, and Jain philosophies, and why modern Western culture often interprets karma very differently than its original meaning. Rather than focusing on punishment and reward, many traditional teachings describe karma as a chain of actions, intentions, and consequences that shape our experiences over time.

The conversation also examines whether karma can be explained through psychology, social dynamics, personal accountability, and the ripple effects our choices have on the people around us. From everyday interactions to life-changing decisions, Hannah and Mykalise ask a simple but profound question:

Are we experiencing karma, or are we experiencing the natural consequences of being human?

Join us for a thought-provoking discussion that blends history, philosophy, science, culture, and curiosity—without claiming to have all the answers.
