  • Making Friends with Fear with Dr. Todd Burstain

    Making Friends with Fear with Dr. Todd Burstain
    2026/11/10
    Welcome to the Rose Woman Podcast. Today, we’re exploring how fear can shape the way we see ourselves and how we can begin choosing a different path.My guest is Dr. Todd Burstain, MD, a physician, researcher, healthcare leader, and author with more than three decades of experience in medicine. He served as Chief Medical Information Officer at UW Medicine and Ochsner Health, where he focused on using technology, data, and science to improve healthcare. He has also led and published large-scale research and held national leadership roles in clinical informatics.Throughout his career, Dr. Burstain became curious about a deeply personal question: How do the experiences that frighten and hurt us shape the way we understand ourselves? That question inspired his book, Fear Itself: Learning to See Yourself Through New Eyes. Drawing on neuroscience, psychology, and clinical experience, the book explores how the brain’s protective responses can influence our identities, relationships, and behavior long after the original threat has passed. It helps readers recognize fear-driven patterns, question the stories they’ve internalized, and reconnect with a more authentic sense of self. The book introduces eight fear-driven identities and offers a ten-step process for creating new meaning and seeing ourselves differently.In this episode, we discuss how fear works, how it shows up in everyday life, and practical ways to respond with greater awareness and choice. Fear Itself is now available on Amazon, with the audiobook on Spotify. If the book speaks to you, I invite you to pick up a copy and, after reading it, consider leaving a review to help other readers discover it.In this episode, we cover:(00:00:00) - Introduction(00:04:48) - Why Dr. Burstain wrote about Fear(00:08:20) - How fear uses past experiences to anticipate danger and shape responses such as anxiety, people-pleasing, withdrawal, and control(00:13:37) - How neglect can shape coping strategies(00:17:14) - How fear keeps patterns going(00:20:17) - How fear can affect brain chemistry and make it harder to think flexibly or see alternatives(00:22:25) - The 5 steps toward change: Pausing, Comfort, Focus, Observation, and Curiosity as ways to respond differently to fear.(00:27:26) - The remaining steps: Acceptance, Commitment, Resilience, connecting with others, and connecting with yourself as ways to sustain change.(00:34:02) - Making room for choice(00:35:25) - Fear’s effects on the body(00:41:40) - Imagining safety and finding joy(00:44:54) - Helping children with big feelings(00:49:20) - Personal reflections on the process(00:52:05) - Breathing practices that can help calm the body(00:53:08) - Retirement and family lifeHelpful links:Dr. Todd Burstain - Author of Fear Itself: Learning to See Yourself Through New Eyes.

    2026/09/25
    A single bow can hold a whole way of living: one that welcomes grief, honors endings, and leans fully into love.In this episode of the Rose Woman podcast, Christine Marie Mason sits down with Astrid Brinck, a contemporary teacher and integrative therapist from Chile whose life’s work orbits reverence, grief, and the deep craft of holding space. Together, they explore how natural cycles, fully felt sorrow, and conscious endings can carve us into more joyful, present, and reverent human beings.About Astrid BrinckAstrid Brinck is an apprentice of love, a contemporary teacher, facilitator, and integrative therapist from Chile. For more than three decades, she has devoted herself to understanding the maturation of the human heart through the lens of nature’s cycles and life’s initiations. Drawing from her research and lived experience, she created The Circle, a process for self‑mastery, along with the Inner Freedom Process and Reverent Leadership Training. Astrid works with leaders, organizations, and communities worldwide, focusing on cultures of care, grief and completion work, and the subtle relational skills required to hold space with integrity. She also trains facilitators in the “temptations of the facilitator” and how to create containers where people remain fully sovereign while being deeply supported.Listen now to journey with Astrid into a different way of relating to love, loss, leadership, and the sacred work of simply being human.(00:00:00): Introduction of Astrid by Christine: background, work with nature’s cycles, “The Circle,” inner freedom, reverent leadership, and holding space.(00:03:19): What is Reverence for Astrid?(00:05:05): Astrid’s childhood in Chile(00:07:00): Fire and loss (00:08:41): Grief work (00:11:40): Detailed description of Astrid’s Circle/Cycles process(00:19:34): Signs that something is “too loud”(00:21:38): Ongoing nature of self-mastery and humility(00:27:23): Cultures of care & endings – how exits are handled creates or erodes trust and belonging.(00:29:20): Concrete examples of conscious endings(00:33:21): Overview of The Circle & reverent leadership(00:37:11): Introduction to The Four Freedoms as the core framework(00:37:34): First Freedom – freedom to be yourself: owning past, scars, mistakes, and rejecting shame and spiritual bypassing.(00:40:41): Second Freedom – freedom to relate with what is: legitimate self and legitimate other, compassion, and the right to change one’s mind.(00:43:31): Third Freedom – freedom to participate in the world; movement rather than perfection, many forms of participation, and critique of “excellence” as arrogance.(00:45:59): Fourth Freedom – freedom to transcend via reverence and bowing; daily practice of returning “home,” beyond organized religion.(00:49:06): What are the qualities of a wonderful facilitator?

  • Love Is the Physics: Tam Hunt on Resonance, the ʻĀina, and the AI Reckoning

    Love Is the Physics: Tam Hunt on Resonance, the ʻĀina, and the AI Reckoning
    2026/09/03
    What if love, resonance, and political courage were not separate conversations, but facets of the same underlying reality?In this new episode of The Rose Woman Podcast, Christine welcomes back philosopher, environmental lawyer, and homesteader Tamlyn (Tam) M. Hunt to explore how consciousness, AI, renewable energy, and tropical panpsychism all meet in a single resonance-based view of the world. From Hawaii’s ʻāina to the AI tsunami, from back-to-the-land experiments to a “resonance model of politics,” they trace how a deeper understanding of consciousness might change the way we do policy, leadership, and love itself.Tamlyn M. Hunt applies a unique blend of expertise in different but related fields to lead discussions on big picture trends. Tamlyn's decades of work as an environmental lawyer focused on renewable energy law and policy have given him tools to frame the necessary conversations on how we can make wise changes.Coupled with his academic work in philosophy, spirituality, and cognitive science, Tamlyn explores how we can use a deeper understanding of consciousness to relate to ourselves and our world in a more beneficial way.Through his work as a writer, scholar, and speaker, Tamlyn seeks to bridge connections across the gap between science and spirit. He is co-developer of the General Resonance Theory of consciousness, with Prof. Jonathan Schooler, and has published a number of peer-reviewed articles fleshing out the details of this rigorous approach to the study of consciousness.Tamlyn is also a novelist, working on his second novel, Leilani, set on the Big Island of Hawaii where he has lived since 2016.Listen in as Christine and Tam follow the thread from “it’s all vibrations, man” to the AI reckoning, resilience politics, and ontological loveand invite you to feel how “the many become one and are increased by one” in your own life.(00:00:00): Introduction and Chapter Five of The Hippies Were Right (00:04:59): Overview Of General Resonance Theory and How “Everything Vibrates” Becomes A Theory Of Consciousness(00:08:39): Tam’s Run For Hawaii State House and The Authenticity Tension In Modern Politics(00:13:06): Tam Explores Identity and Cultural Dynamics In Hawaii Politics (00:14:31): Tropical Panpsychism(00:16:02): Tam Examines The Inherent Salesmanship And Authenticity Tension In Politics (00:19:12): Framing The “Resilience Candidate” and The Polycrisis Of AI, Climate, And Governance(00:21:53): Tam Connects Social Movements, Virality, and Resonance In Politics (00:25:02): Origin Of The Hippies Were Right as a Memoir Plus Consciousness Philosophy(00:27:05): General Resonance Theory and The Changing Academic View Of Consciousness (00:31:13): Core Claims Of GRT: Universal Vibration, Tiny Units Of Awareness, and “The Many Become One”(00:35:49): Love As Ontological Reality and Entheogenic Experience(00:38:48): Indigenous Knowing and Green Ethics Of Reverence (00:42:35): Love For ʻĀina, Climate Law, And The Urgency Of Energy Transition (00:44:25): AI’s Exploding Energy Demand Versus Its Huge Practical Upsides For Work and Creativity(00:53:03): Honoring Feminine Labor, Back-To-The-Land Women, and The Unseen Work That Sustains Movements(00:55:45): The Real Work Of Homesteading and The Need For Community-Scale, Shared-Resource Living(00:59:23): Three Core Takeaways: It’s All Love, It’s All Consciousness, and We Need System-Level Change NowHelpful links:Tam Hunt - Author of The Hippies Were Right!: About Consciousness and Everything Else available now on AmazonThe Hippies Were Right: It's All about Vibrations, Man!

  • Being the Medicine and Refuge with Sister Lucy of Maher

    Being the Medicine and Refuge with Sister Lucy of Maher
    2026/08/27
    When a broken heart turns into a blueprint, one woman can quietly change the fate of thousands. In this episode, Christine sits down with Sister Lucy Kurien, the visionary founder of Maher (“Mother’s Home”), an interfaith, caste-free network of homes for women, children, and men in India. Called to ServeSister Lucy Kurien was born in 1956 in Kolayad, Kannur District, Kerala, India. After several years of formal education, at age 14 she moved to Mumbai, where she was profoundly distressed by the appalling poverty and squalor in the city. Having carried a strong inner desire for justice since childhood, she felt a deep calling to make a difference in the lives of the poor and famished around her. In 1980, she joined Sisters of the Cross, a religious order. It was a difficult decision that meant giving up the bliss of an independent and free life. After 4 years of training, she was professed to the order.The Birth of MaherSister Lucy started Maher activities in a small home in Vadhu Budruk, near Bhima Koregaon on the Ahmednagar highway. Her tireless efforts and the work of the dedicated staff led to the expansion of Maher activities to nearby areas. These include the villages in Shirur, Haveli and Khed talukas, as well as the city of Ratnagiri, Miraj & Satara in Maharashtra. Beyond Maharashtra, Maher has established homes in Kerala, Jharkhand, West Bengal, Karnataka, Bihar and Andhra Pradesh. In 2011, unable to ignore the plight of abandoned men on the streets, Maher opened its first home for destitute, aged, and mentally challenged men. Today Maher reaches the life of the poorest of the poor through as many as 25 different outreach projects, including 672 village self-help groups and 75 interfaith, caste-free homes that currently shelter 996 children and 292 men and over 798 destitute women. Since its founding, Maher has provided care and shelter for more than 6200 children, 6,500 women, and 850 men.In this conversation, you’ll hear how Sister Lucy transforms heartbreak into practical compassion—turning love into food, shelter, education, mental health care, and long-term dignity.Press play to hear Sister Lucy’s extraordinary story and what it truly means to be “the medicine and refuge” in a hurting world—and if her work moves you, please donate to Maher. Your listening amplifies her message; your giving helps keep “Mother’s Home” open for those who have nowhere else to turn.(00:00:00): Introduction to Sister Lucy as a Living Practitioner of Love and Founder of Maher(00:04:10): Sister Lucy’s Childhood in Kerala and First Exposure to Urban Poverty in Bombay(00:08:28): Choosing Religious Life(00:10:40): The Pivotal Domestic Violence Incident and Sister Lucy’s Overwhelming Guilt and Rage(00:16:57): Leaving Institutional Security to Follow Her Mission with No Money or Personnel(00:18:09): Building the First Maher Home(00:21:20): Maher as Interfaith and Caste-Free(00:23:27): “I Am Not Leaving Anyone, I Am Including Everything” as a Core Spiritual Move(00:26:45): Story of the Woman Chained to a Tree and Misunderstandings of Mental Illness as “Possession”(00:34:51): Scale of Maher’s Current Work: Homes for Women, Men, Children, and Education Outcomes(00:35:54): Patriarchy, Gender Disparities, and Slow Change for Women in India’s Villages(00:38:01): Meeting Pope Francis and Asking Him to Ordain Women and Support Women Religious in the Villages(00:41:04): Calling for Equal, Not Overpowering, Feminine Leadership—Win-Win Rather Than Reversal of Dominance(00:43:16): Sister Lucy’s Vision at 30 Years of Maher: Preparing Next-Generation Leadership and Inviting Others to Learn and Replicate the Maher Model(00:46:43): Focusing on the One Thing You Can Do Instead of Being Paralyzed by Global Pain(00:50:35): Invitation to SupportHelpful links:Sister Lucy Kurien - Founder of Maher.

At OMYA Dark Retreats, she now creates highly supported, trauma-aware containers where participants can safely turn inward, meet long-buried parts of themselves, and access deeper layers of emotional and embodied healing—without plant medicine, performance, or spiritual bypass.If you feel the pull toward the dark, Meghan is offering 20% off for our listeners at darkcaves.life with the code ROSEWOMAN at checkout.In this episode, we cover so many topics, including:(00:00:00) - Introduction and History Of Enclosure Across Traditions(00:08:56) - Meghan's First Dark Retreat(00:10:14) - Structure Of Dark Retreats and Omya Ranch Environment(00:13:26) - Gray Retreat Option(00:15:11) - Tomb-To-Womb Reframing by Andrew Holacek (00:17:25) - Neuroscience Tracking and Aftereffects(00:24:32) - Somatic Experiencing Practices(00:26:30) - Psychological Screening(00:28:12) - Participant Stories and Non-Local Effects(00:30:08) - Extrasensory Perception And Telepathy Training In Darkness(00:32:00) - Meghan Life Purpose Shift(00:33:40) - Building The Dark Caves and Finding Comfort In Total Darkness(00:37:42) - Omya Ranch Vision, Regenerative Ecosystem, And Practical IntegrationHelpful links:Meghan Elfsten - Director of Dark Retreats at Omya Ranch.

  • I Belong to Me: Tia Levings on Escaping Christian Patriarchy and Reclaiming the Self

    I Belong to Me: Tia Levings on Escaping Christian Patriarchy and Reclaiming the Self
    2026/07/24
    What happens when the “perfect Christian wife” decides her life belongs to her after all? In this episode of The Rose Woman Podcast, Christine sits down with Tia Levings, New York Times bestselling author of A Well-Trained Wife and I Belong to Me: A Survivor’s Guide to Recovery and Hope after Religious Trauma. Tia writes and speaks about the realities of religious trauma, evangelical patriarchy, and the trad wife life, decoding the fundamentalist influences in our news and culture; her work and quotes have appeared in Teen Vogue, Salon, Newsweek, the Huffington Post, and the hit Amazon docu-series Shiny Happy People. Together, Christine and Tia explore how high-control religion shapes women’s bodies, marriages, motherhood, aging, and even our politics, why the trad wife aesthetic is so seductive right now, what happens when adult children step away from the faith of their families, and how to slowly rebuild a sense of self, boundaries, and spirituality on your own terms. Based in Raleigh, North Carolina, Tia is mom to four grown kids and, when she’s not writing or speaking, she loves to travel, hike, paint, and daydream. If you’ve ever felt confined by an ideology, a relationship, or a role you were told to play, this conversation offers language, validation, and a gentle map back to yourself.In this episode, we cover so many topics, including:(00:00:35): Who Is Tia Levings, And Why Religious Trauma Matters(00:05:19): Childhood Move To The South And How A “Normal” Church Led Into High-Control Religion(00:09:21): Inside the organization by Bill Gothard (IBLP) And Tradwife Culture(00:12:28): How High-Control Christianity Glorifies Women’s Suffering While Blocking Real Supports Like Childcare And Healthcare(00:14:29): The Cost To Women(00:17:02): Reclaiming Midlife As A Powerful “Queen Era” Of Women’s Lives(00:19:32): Are Tradwives “Stupid”?

  • Beyond the Scarcity Mindset: Love as the Driver with Xavi Ginesta

    Beyond the Scarcity Mindset: Love as the Driver with Xavi Ginesta
    2026/07/02
    Xavi Ginesta built Voxel into the world leader in B2B travel payments, then sold it to chase a different question entirely: who are we, really? In this conversation, he traces the arc from conscious capitalism to The Festival of Consciousness, from his book Humanitas with the mystic Sergi Torres to a research practice on the future of human potential. At the center is a deceptively simple claim — that the scarcity mindset sets a ceiling on everything we can become, that love is the actual driver of the universe, and that the only way past the ceiling is the inner work no decision can shortcut. Christine and Xavi move through altered states, and the limits of the senses, the brain as receiver rather than generator, a clear-eyed critique of transhumanism, and a practical invitation to let the heart lead and the mind execute.In this episode, we cover so many topics, including:(00:00:00) Introduction to Xavi: The Festival of Consciousness, Voxel and Humanitas(00:04:47) Xavi’s Business Journey And The Birth Of Voxel(00:09:11) Creating The Festival Of Consciousness And Finding Joy(00:16:13) Meeting Mystic Co‑Author Sergey Torres And Their Book “Humanitas”(00:20:31) The Question Of “Who Am I?” And Knowing What We Are Not(00:23:25) Consciousness, Reality, and Glimpses Beyond Sensory Domination(00:27:49) Expanded States, Scientific Evidence, And A Wider Aperture Of Awareness(00:29:53) Researching Human Potential And The Power Of Symbiotic Cooperation(00:34:59) How The Scarcity Mindset Limits Our Collective Purpose Frequency(00:36:35) Letting Go Of Control And Trusting Evolution Over Rational Planning(00:39:29) Embodied AI, Humanoid Robots, And Questions Of Experience(00:42:30) Brain As Receiver, Not Generator, And Emerging Scientific Evidence(00:44:05) Love As The Fundamental Nature Of Consciousness(00:49:20) Inner Transformation, Belief Systems, And The Limits Of Willpower(00:51:39) Practical Paths To Inner Work(00:58:10) Closing Reflections and InvitationHelpful links:Xavi Ginesta - Founder of Voxel and Humanitas Foundation.
