Intro: I chat about feeling torn between believing in manifesting and that anything is possible and also the reality is not everyone can live their dream. I feel like I’ve experienced both sides and I know people on both sides who are equally convincing. Can both things be true?
Spiritual Topic: I recently watched Madonna do a Q&A with a room full of A list celebs in which she gave live and spiritual advice. At first, I loved it and felt really inspired by her career and her message but then I had a lingering feeling like taking advice from celebrities is probably not the best idea. Jess helps me break it down.
Interview: My guest this week is drag superstar Gia Metric! We talk about Gia’s early drag career leading up to auditioning for Canada’s Drag Race, her experience auditioning and what it was like to finally get cast and film an entire season. Gia opens up about the struggle of reality TV and the ripple effect the spotlight and fandom can have on your life and mental health. Gia also lets us in on a brand new secret project she’s working on and its VERY EXCITING!

The Superficial Spirit is a podcast that explores how pop culture affects our spiritual experiences and seeks to uncover unconventional ways people experience the divine… Every episode explores a different area of spirituality including tarot, crystals, psychics, manifesting, plant medicine and modern new-age trends. In the podcast, we ask questions like is modern spirituality a cult? Is Ayahuasca really that profound? Are psychics and tarot even real? What about fame, money, sex and social media? How do they affect our spirituality? Can the superficial really be profound? Ultimately, we believe in one thing: spirituality is real but the tools we use to define it may not be magical at all.
The Superficial Spirit is hosted by Peter Breeze, a former club kid and underground pop star who found success in queer clubs across Canada and America. He believes that his time as a fame-obsessed, hard-partying club-kid was a conduit for his spirituality and is passionate to connect with people who've also had unconventional or scandalous experiences exploring their own spirituality. Peter shamelessly explores the spiritual power of celebrities like Britney Spears, Courtney Love, Paris Hilton and The Real Housewives.
Guests include RuPaul's Drag Race Superstars, Reality TV stars, Scientists, witches, psychics, tarot readers, naturopathic doctors and regular people who've been affected by modern Spirituality.
Every episode includes a segment with @jessica.daily, Peter's Spiritual correspondent and a former reiki master and intuitive who's become passionate about sharing her own journey becoming disillusioned from the new age community. Jessica shares personal horror stories and hot takes about popular new age topics like tarot, psychics, mediums, ayahuasca retreats, crystals, ufo's and aliens.
