Holy and Human

In this episode, we explore the rising current of the Divine Feminine and what it truly means to reclaim Her presence within us. When we’re disconnected from the Feminine, we lose our sense of purpose, burn out easily, and become overly analytical. The Feminine Principle lives in everyone—it is the creative, intuitive, emotional source of the Soul. For centuries, this power has been feared and suppressed under systems that elevated productivity and intellect while dismissing inner wisdom and spiritual depth. Drawing on personal stories, Jungian understanding, and spiritual initiations, we speak about restoring this lost dimension of our humanity and how archetypes like Mary Magdalene and Sophia guide us toward healing and wholeness. This conversation also touches on Elisa’s new six-month program, The Return of the Divine Feminine, a transformational container for Feminine Souls ready to awaken their intuitive gifts, reconnect with their Soul, and reclaim the embodied Feminine. Enrollment is limited and now open through Jan 1st, at holyandhuman.com.

In this episode of Listening with Soul, Adam and Elisa get personal about what it’s like to live—and try to listen to Soul—with ADHD. From the fog of undiagnosed symptoms to the hormonal curveballs of perimenopause, they share real-life moments of overwhelm, hilarity, and healing. This isn't about fixing ADHD. It's about meeting it with compassion. It’s about how the sacred can still break through even when the dishes aren’t done, the tabs are multiplying, and you’ve forgotten why you walked into the room. They explore how Soul Journaling has become a lifeline—offering a steady anchor in the swirl of distraction, urgency, and mental noise. You’ll hear about their favorite coping tools, from gamifying tasks to building sensory sanctuaries, plus honest reflections on parenting, partnership, and learning to befriend the brain you’ve got. Whether you’re new to ADHD or have been dancing with it for years, this conversation is a soulful permission slip to do it your way. Because even when your mind runs wild, there’s still a quiet voice inside—waiting to be heard.

One of our favorite people, Adam’s Aunt Cindy, joins us to share the transformative story of her cancer journey. Cindy Polinsky is a retired union organizer and cancer survivor. She is the author of The Double Chai Cafe, a zine about her grief journey. Cindy’s mother died when she was 8 years old. She never dealt with her grief until she was diagnosed with life threatening cancer some 50 years later. A poignant story, laced with humour, The Double Chai Cafe can be purchased for $10.00 by emailing Cindy at cindypolinsky56@gmail.com. All proceeds will benefit Epic Experience, an adventure camp for cancer patients and survivors. Cindy’s memoir, The Scrappy Knights of Cancer, an Intergalactic journey through grief and beyond, is nearing completion and expected to go to print in 2026. We’ll be sure to let you know when it’s available.

On today’s episode of Holy & Human, we welcome back our dear friend Laurel Lantis and introduce you to another soul sister, Tina Goldhammer. This conversation was inspired by an unexpected moment of magic—Tina’s birthday gathering that transformed into a living, breathing soul journaling circle (without any journals in sight). What began as a simple celebration became an evening of raw truth, deep connection, and spiritual “birthing”—where each woman brought forward the voice of her Soul and offered it to the group. Together, we explored what happens when presence, vulnerability, and a willingness to listen create space for transformation. Join us as we share the story of that night, the teachings it revealed, and how these moments—often unplanned—can become some of the most profound spiritual experiences of our lives.

In this episode, we explore the meeting place between artificial intelligence and the soul. In a world overflowing with data, it’s easy to mistake information for truth. Together, we ask: how can we use AI without losing the deeper knowing that lives within us? Through stories, reflection, and soulful guidance, we invite you to tune into your intuition—not as a rejection of technology, but as the compass that helps you navigate it.

Long time, no pod! Adam and Elisa come in hot, diving right into politics and the current state of the world through the lens of Soul. Topics include: going to Hamilton the musical, staying connected to intuition in times of change, and parenting dragon slayers in a time of dragons.

In this episode, we offer our own Twin Flame perspective on the popular new Netflix documentary on the topic. The desire to be seen and met deeply in so archetypal and universal, that this instinct towards Union can be used for good or for evil. We delve into the intricate nuances of the Twin Flames concept and how mainstream portrayals can sometimes distort its profound essence, leading to confusion and disillusionment. Our discussion aims to peel back the layers of the narrative woven by the documentary, re-centering the conversation on the authenticity and depth of spiritual partnerships, and demystifying the journey towards genuine soulful connection.

In the second part of our soul-stirring series, we delve into the extraordinary life of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, a paragon of grace under pressure. As we orchestrate the melodies of her story, we discern the quiet whispers of destiny and the crescendos of purpose that defined her journey. Weaving the threads of her public triumphs and private trials, we explore how her soul's orchestration became a masterclass in resilience and elegance. Join us as we interpret the signs and symbols that charted her path, revealing the universal lessons of alignment and authenticity that resonate with each of us in our own quest for self-discovery.

In this introspective episode, we begin our exploration into Soul Orchestration—where life's synchronicities are not mere coincidences, but the soul's way of composing our unique life symphony. We delve into how these meaningful occurrences guide our journey towards individuation, a concept introduced by Carl Jung, which represents the process of becoming our truest self. As we uncover the intricate relationship between the universe's subtle signs and our personal growth, we set the stage for a deeper understanding of our inner selves. Don't miss the continuation in Part 2, where we examine the life of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis through the lens of soul orchestration.

What does it mean to be hungry, not thirsty? While Soul hunger motivates us into actualizing our purpose, ego thirst has the power to derail us from our path. In today’s episode, we riff on the difference between soul hunger and ego thirst. Is it spiritual to enact actions or simply allow and trust? Is effort a part of the spiritual path? How does action play a role in our individuation process? What is the sweet spot between achievement and surrender?

In this episode, we take an archetypal look at romantic love, the true aspects of past relationships we may still be grieving, and an astrological perspective of Pamela Anderson’s life and love story in the recent Netflix documentary, "Pamela, A Love Story." With attention to the symbolic mirror her life reflects of the Feminine for the collective, we also investigate her personal story through the lens of projection, illusion, and the Divine hope that romantic life holds.

Holy Love can be found in unexpected places, like gorilla courtship. Today, we leave behind conventional methods for discovering wisdom and analyze the places, moments, and sources that have unexpectedly affected us. While Adam examines lessons of masculinity from a video of gorillas, Elisa processes the nature of aging, the passage of time, and the meaning of life initiated by an NPR story about centenarians (people who have reached 100 years old.) As usual, we lose all scripts and structure to follow the intuitive guide of what feels alive and real. Ending in tears, and a sense of beauty and grace, we are reminded that Soul is always working in mysterious ways.

Today we process the wounds that are created from living in a world where psychics and mediumship are not understood and are often demonized. The result is a type of spiritual gaslighting, where intuitive truth is externally denied and often in turn internally suppressed. Elisa shares her own vulnerable feelings on how her intuitive impulse to heal others has at times been met with judgment and hostility. Together we explore when our gifts can feel like a curse, how to navigate a skeptical world, and heal the connection to our Soul.

Today we get into the power of surrendering life to Soul. How does listening to Soul heal our lives? What is Soul Truth? What happens in a Soul Session? We answer these questions (as well as a breakdown of the Disney movie, Encanto as a metaphor for family systems healing work). Often intuition, psychic abilities, and spiritual work are considered out-of-touch with reality, but these are actually some of the most useful tools to discover what is most true. Join us, as we explore following Soul’s wisdom to create our most fulfilling lives.

BDE, Big Dick Energy, has become a hot topic on social media in the last few years. No doubt the concept of BDE has ignited entertaining conversations, but it has also led to a cultural attempt to define authentic Masculinity. What is BDE? BDE is a genuine and comfortable assurance in oneself and the ability to claim one’s power. Beyond gender identity, sexual preference, or literal anatomy BDE stands for an emotional and spiritual ability to know one’s inner Masculine. This is why BDE is the inverse of toxic masculinity. Instead of a need to have dominance over others, BDE knows a power from within the Soul. Join us today, as we explore this cultural phenomenon and dive into what true Masculinity really is.

The word “addiction” is derived from the Latin term for, “enslaved by” or “bound to.” Addictions control our lives and block clear connection to Soul. Today, we talk to an incredible addictions expert and Elisa’s former colleague, Linda Johnson, MFT, about the spiritual path of facing addiction and the most effective tools for recovery. Overcoming addiction forces us to investigate our primitive biology and highjacked brain chemistry. Addiction is an extreme journey, that many do not survive, but it is also an opportunity to master our impulse towards death wish or life wish. Recovery takes fierce love and spiritual strength. Dive in with us as we explore how to transform compulsion into gained wisdom.

Part 2 of Myers-Briggs Personality Types - What drives our choices in life? The values and motives that move us may, in truth, not be in our control at all.

If you want a buttoned—up, planned in advance, zen-style podcast then move along, Sally. But if you are open to messy and ridiculous ramblings that bring the spiritual lens into home renovations and calories-in, calories-out, today is your lucky day. We take several stops on this mystical trolly and end at the inner marriage of the Divine Masculine and Feminine. Toot! Toot! All Aboard!

Abortion is a polarizing topic, but what does each side have in common? In this episode, we examine the terminology around this issue and its impact on how we understand, feel, and relate to this charged topic. We believe that to build a bridge, we need to share our specific stories. Our dear friend, Laurel Marlantes, joins us to share her own story of how she had to make a choice that didn’t feel like a choice. Her incredible and spiritual journey conveys the nuance, depth, and complexity of this topic. https://www.laurelmarlantes.com
