🕯️✨ Divas in Disbelief: Confessions of a Skeptic ✨🕯️
In this brand-new sub-segment of Spirituali-TEA, we pass the mic to those who’ve walked away from the altar. First up: meet Dylan, a proud gay skeptic raised in the heart of Southern Baptist tradition. In this powerful conversation, Dylan spills the sacred (and not-so-sacred) tea on growing up in a faith that told him being gay was a sin—and how that message sent him on a path of critical questioning and soul-searching.

From Sunday sermons to studying history/relgion at college, Dylan shares what it was like to be a closeted theology student dissecting the very book that once condemned him. Was the Bible truly a divine guide—or just a book of stories written with human agendas? What happens when you feel spiritually exiled but still yearn for meaning?

This episode is raw, real, and full of righteous doubt. Whether you’re deconstructing, doubting, or just curious how queerness and disbelief coexist—this one’s for you.

💅🏽 Come for the confessions. Stay for the spiritual shade.
🎧 Tune in and sip slowly—because not everyone finds God, and some divas never needed to.

In this deeply heartfelt and thought-provoking episode of Spirituali-TEA, we sit down with Kashi Whitten — a former Hindu monk, tech professional, and now transformational coach — who shares his incredible journey of devotion, intuition, and authenticity. From spending 18 years in a Hindu monastery to navigating burnout, Kashi’s story is one of evolving purpose and radical honesty with the self.

We talk about what it really means to "know yourself" — beyond labels, beyond expectations, beyond the inner critic. Kashi opens up about making lifetime vows, and what it meant to let go of them when his intuition told him it was time to move forward. He reflects on fear not as something to avoid, but as a teacher to dialogue with. How can we discern fear's wisdom from fear’s resistance?

We also dive into spiritual perfectionism, the human need for intimacy, and how the monastic life both enriched and complicated his human experience. Kashi challenges the transactional view of karma and instead embraces a heart-centered approach: "Do good because it feels good."

We also unpack ideas from the book "4000 Weeks: Time Management for Mortals", discussing how we can reclaim time not through productivity hacks, but through meaning, presence, and surrender.

Whether you're in the midst of a life transition, confronting burnout, feeling the pressure to “have it all together”, or questioning your spiritual path, this episode offers a grounding invitation to return to your truth — and to live it out loud.

☕ Pour yourself a warm cup of Spirituali-TEA and join us for a beautiful reflection on purpose, presence, and the soulful path of doing good simply because it feels good.

This week on Spirituali-TEA, we're joined by intuitive guide and cosmic storyteller Dira Kali for a conversation about astrology, self-liberation, and reclaiming your cosmic power. 🌈✨

Recorded right after the Pink Full Moon in Libra, Dira shares why it’s a beautiful time to jump back into the dating world — with Venus fresh out of retrograde and Saturn helping us ground and stabilize what we want in relationships. 💖

We explore:

🌙 How astrology helps us move beyond the binary and connect to our truest selves

🌙 How the planets are not only celestial but energetic parts of us
🌙 How to embody and move with planetary transits, not just "know" about them
🌙 Why your birth chart is a personal blueprint of your soul's journey — and how we chose our charts for this life
🌙 How to use astrology as an empowering tool for healing, authenticity, and creative self-expression
🌙 What Pluto and Uranus shifting means for our collective evolution

Dira explains that astrology is a mosaic of art forms — and through it, we can respond to life from a place of authenticity and sovereignty. Whether you're seasoned in astrology or just curious, this episode invites you to see yourself in a whole new cosmic light. 💫

Have you ever stopped to wonder — who’s really speaking in your head? In this episode, co-hosts Garrett and Franco sit down with intuitive empath and author Dr. Michael R. Smith to dive deep into the unseen world of Spirit communication and intuitive wisdom. How do you know if it’s your own thought… or something greater guiding you? Together, they explore how energy, intuition, and the divine weave through our everyday lives, especially within the queer community as we awaken to our truest, most spiritual selves.

Discover how to tell the difference between your human self and your divine self, why embracing life’s polarity is part of your soul’s hero journey, and how intuition can become your clearest, most honest guide. If you’ve ever felt lost in the noise of other people’s energy or wondered why you chose to be here in this life — this one’s for you.

Get ready to laugh, reflect, and reconnect to the wisdom you’ve always carried within.
