55 Jenelle: Mutli-soul Theory, Multi-Faceted, DID, and Expanded Notions of Being

In this very special episode we’ve got not one! But TWO people talking about what it’s like to live a life as a multi-soul (they/themz) magnificence, and what’s the deal on how it is similiar and dissimilar to queerness, neurodivergence, DID (dissociative identity disorder), parts work/internal family systems and just overall! expanded notions of being. So many spiritual circles keep interrogating a singular self — when a lot of local cultures (we talk about this in podcast) have such a multiple/twinned notions of our spirits and we’re really here to weave prod and walk around with you other definitions of existing in a singular body.

We talk about how personalities fissure in trauma, how they synergize, how walk-ins happen and just what it’s like to live an authentic, and TOTALLY fractaled self. I am personally so grateful for the space Janelle has held for me in being totally comfortable in authenticity, so I really hope y’all enjoy the stories and insights we share in this podcast.

Sidenote: This podcast has key sections that are in tagalog. For international listeners I feel like this is still mostly! accessible with context clues.
