Jeremy is joined this week by B, owner of Tres Ojos and co-founder of What the Hex. They discuss the rise of modern witchcraft, emphasizing B’s “no-bullshit” spirituality grounded in ethically sourced, non-hierarchical practices. They explore how people leaving organized religion seek ritual and community, and how commercialized spirituality and wellness cultures can replicate the same harms as organized religion when left unchecked. The episode closes with a look at the What the Hex markets as intentionally crafted community hubs that prioritize safety, inclusivity, and connection.

This week Jeremy follows up on last week’s holiday themed episode with the concept of moral injury and how the holidays often force us into rituals, traditions, and family dynamics that violate our core values. We unpack the psychological and somatic cost of participating in celebrations rooted in colonialism, religious harm, or identity erasure, and why “forced cheer” can feel like a betrayal of self. Finally, we explore practical strategies for navigating holiday gatherings with integrity, boundaries, and a reclaimed sense of agency.

In this episode, Jeremy and Emily dig into the realities of setting and enforcing holiday boundaries, especially when family dynamics, guilt, and old patterns collide. They explore why boundaries are for the self and not other people, and discuss how unclear limits, people-pleasing, and differing needs make the holidays a pressure cooker for emotional and moral conflict. Together, they offer practical strategies like escape hatches, clear enforcement, self-kindness, and values-aligned decision-making to help listeners navigate chaotic gatherings without abandoning themselves.

In this episode, Jeremy gets to chat with all around awesome human and book influencer Cree Myles about her journey into book advocacy. They explore how literature, hip-hop, and good mentors in higher education shaped Cree’s worldview. They talk about how great Ursala K Le Guin is, how content creation under capitalism feels gross sometimes, and how hard it can be to find time to read as a parent. The conversation also covers the importance of building values-aligned communities, how racism looks in the suburbs, and of course some really good recommendations for books.

This week Jeremy talks with Hatie Parmeter, soon-to-be licensed therapist and current communications director for the Climate Psychology Alliance of North America, about her journey from fashion journalism and outdoor guiding to finally landing in mental health. They explore the mental wellness needs of guides and first responders, the idea that connection is the correction, and the overlap of climate anxiety, systemic issues, and mutual aid. The conversation closes with both reflecting on self-care, neurodivergence, and finding meaning and community amid climate grief and late-stage capitalism.

Jeremy talks about his least favorite topic this week, the Supreme Court. The christofascists on the court are going to overturn a Colorado ban on conversion therapy in Chiles v Salazar. I’m not a political prognosticator, but they are, because it’s part of Project 2025. And Jeremy breaks down why the court will do this for much larger purposes than just to harm LGBTQ+ kids. F*ck the court. F*ck bigots. F*ck fascism. No good therapists will be doing conversion therapy, regardless of a legal standard, because it’s harmful.

Jeremy is joined this week by returning guest Michelle Moseley, a therapist specializing in religious trauma, to explore the intersection of neurodivergence and high-control religious environments. They discuss how undiagnosed neurodivergent traits often align with the rigid structures and black-and-white thinking rewarded by churches, while also masking deeper struggles and reinforcing spiritual bypassing. The conversation highlights the ongoing work of unmasking, self-acceptance, and rebuilding community after leaving religious systems that conflated neurological differences with sin or disobedience.
