QUICK & IMPORTANT UPDATE >> After taking six weeks off from the main feed of the pod, I've come to realize two things: 1) sometimes when I want to cut&run, all I really need is an open-ended breather... and 2) the 'cult'ure series ain't over yet! I'm not sure how much longer I'll carry on, but I've decided to keep tending the fire awhile longer. Folks just keep showing up for amazing conversations - and in solidarity with this...
Hi y'all. I'd initially planned on saving this two-part conversation until after the 'cult'ure series wraps. But I've since decided to go ahead and roll it out now, because friendship and belly laughs are always helpful around the holidays. Long time good friend of the pod, Monica Welty, joins Tracy & I for a two-part 'cult'ure series recap, and the three of us reflect on two-plus years podcasting & how the ‘cult’ure series in...
Next week, we'll be featuring another guest convo here. It's an insightful two-parter & we really can't wait to share it with you! In the meantime...

"But when the economy is based on many women who are willing to do it for nothing, that becomes standard... And if I'm going to invest my energy, I want to get an income from it." - Adi Gorendd #43 - The Queen & The Pyramid: Behind The Scenes of 'the Org' Economy - Bonus Convo w/ Adi GorenAs promised on the main feed (see Ep.72), it's a one-hour Deconstructing Dogma bonus follow-up with Adi Goren!

Welcome to the second half of our two-part conversation with Adi Goren (recorded back in August). If you missed Part 1, you’re gonna want to circle back, because we’re picking up right where we left off! Last week, Adi shared a bit about her personal life, how she first discovered ‘the Org’, and her subsequent devotion to the practice. Part 2 opens as Adi reveals more about her relationship to ‘the Org’ CEO; how she saw him as a...
The ‘cult’ure series is set to wrap in a few short weeks at which time main feed podcast production will be on hold indefinitely. But first, we have a final conversation to share with you. Back in August, Candice and good friend / wing woman, Tracy Stamper, sat down with former Org affiliate Adi Goren, who joined the pod from her home in Israel. This lengthy conversation was recorded prior to the unfolding crisis; as such, the intro to the...
"I have this visual of my suitcase is packed for the last time. And... I have not been living in the Org for a long time. But this time, for sure, my suitcase is packed. And they're packed with all my gifts. You know, all of my little things that I'm stepping away with. And they're mine."- Anita Starkdd #41 - Betrayal, Belonging, & The Grace to 'Move On' w/ Anita Stark - Part 2 of 2This week, we're back with Part 2 of our conversation with...
This week’s ‘cult’ure series release is a very special rollover from the Patreon-exclusive deconstructing dogma bonus series. Three former ‘Org’ affiliates join Candice for a panel discussion examining wellness-cult dynamics through the intersectional lens of gender and sexuality. Together they explore how mainstream socialization around the heteronormative gender binary is very often reinforced in spirituality and wellness spaces. In...
