No Deep Dives by FlexMami

point me to the feminist utopia

Is a feminist utopia the fairytale we've all been dreaming of? Though not all unicorns and fairy dust, Tineke Willemsen says it's "a place where at least women would like to live".
DOES THAT SOUND LIKE SOMETHING THAT INTERESTS YOU? Send this to your best friend, family group chat and your situationship. 2024 and beyond is the year of Matriarchy propaganda, hehe.

spiritual practice makes you hotter

Why is every hot, sexy and cerebral person drawn to spirituality? Is it leading us to eventual enlightenment? Or just a creative coping mechanism for the symptoms of being a human?
In this episode Flex discusses why she's so drawn to spirituality, that time she met a witchdoctor's hawks (read that twice) and how spirituality fills in the gaps of what our physical experience can't.
Then dives deep into the nature of truth versus facts, the role of personal experiences in shaping our reality, and the potential limitations imposed by societal norms and personal biases.

mormon influencer pipeline

Is there even a difference these days? What is it about our compulsion to slap inflammatory labels on things? Is it an accurate summation, misogyny or a secret third thing?

who's on the door in heaven?

What if you were the gatekeeper of a divine realm? Would you turn into a power-hungry egomaniac or an empathetic assistant?

finally a podcast for internet philosophers

Logie-Nominee, best-selling author, and award-winning podcaster FlexMami decodes the riddle of life. Each episode is earnest, optimistic, opinionated, sometimes superficial and never judgmental. Perfect for ruminators, over-thinkers and serial generalists searching for meaning (never resolution!).
