Prelude: Entering the Erotic Timeline

Welcome to the first episode of The Erotic Timeline.

In this prelude, I introduce the central question behind this podcast: What if we are living through not just political and cultural upheaval, but a deeper shift in the timeline itself?

Blending reflections on astrology, Mayan timekeeping, trauma, capitalism, colonialism, and embodied healing, I explore the growing sense that the systems organizing modern life are breaking down—and that many of us are being called to experience time, survival, and relationship differently.

In this episode, I introduce two frameworks I’ll be returning to throughout the podcast: the linear timeline and the erotic timeline—two fundamentally different ways of moving through the world.

Part personal story, part philosophical inquiry, and part manifesto, this episode lays the groundwork for the questions we’ll keep exploring together: How do we recognize the timelines we’re living inside? And how do we choose the ones that make us more alive?
