Podcast: The Deeper Pulse
Hi. I’m Candice Schutter. I started The Deeper Pulse podcast about a year into the pandemic when I was feeling lost, stir-crazy, and desperate for meaningful connection. I began by sharing personal stories, striving to make sense of my own life and what I’d learned, both personally and professionally, about the mechanics of agency and self-expression. In the process, I encountered my own spiritual wounds, dove headfirst into the world of cult recovery and discovered that – not only did it hold the key to a door that I’d been banging on since I was a child – it might even offer us a way out of the royal mess we’re making of this whole being human thing.
On TDP, my guests and I talk about the everyday labor of self-expression, unpack the ‘cult’ure of self-help, and brave sweaty-palm truths that restore a sense of self-dominion. We tap into the deeper pulse that lies beneath psychosocial indoctrination, and remind one another how to be truly brave with our lives. Episodes 1-17 are all about feelings of stuckness. And if, like most of us, you’re recovering from a toxic relationship, high-demand workplace, or too much new age wellness yada-yada, check out episodes 32+ for a deep-dive into what is putting the cult in ‘cult’ure.
