From New Age To Jesus
One of our main themes of this podcast is how the pendulum swings. In honor of Halloween, in this episode we’re going to talk about those who sell and practice New Age/Occult principles and swing all the way back over to Christianity. There’s a rabbit hole there, if you feel like digging.For the purposes of our discussion, we’ll be using the terms new age, occult, mysticism, etc. interchangeably, and Christianity will include all denominations. The point is that there have been many spiritual business owners that have completely abandoned the philosophies they were l...

Hustle and Flow
What is flow and what is actually back-end hustle? How many gurus have you heard claim that they only work 4 or 10 hours a week? How many times have you heard that business is easy if you just allow it to be? Most of those claims don’t take into account how much time is spent thinking of a plan for the next quarter, or engaging with your community online, or having a conversation with your VA, or how much easier marketing feels with their accumulated experience.More often than not, the 6-7 figure earners are talking their gr...

Election Series EP 2 | Inclusion in Elections with Simran Sherchan | AccountabiliTEA Podcast
How much right do you actually have as a citizen to participate in the elections?

Do they have dignified access to voting? Our conversation with Simran Serchan explores what the government, political parties and citizens have done to ensure equal voting and participation rights to the LGBTQI+Listen people, and what needs to change to ensure an inclusive, fair, and safe electoral process in N...

Polarity
Following up on last week’s conversation, we’re diving into masculine versus feminine energy and how the pendulum has swung over the last century in the US from masculine-led to feminine-led and back and forth. Now, we’re sort of stuck in this limbo of both men and women being either overly feminine or overly masculine, or attempting to present as one of those and overcompensating. This isn’t a discussion of which one is “better,” but rather how some polarity teachings are toxic on both sides. How can we each strike a balance between our own feminine...

C-E-Ohhhh's: Spiritual Business Heauxs
There’s a lot of layers to this trend of self-proclaimed C-E-Heauxs in the online business space, and we’re going to pick it all apart. There’s a feeling of reclaiming the power, reclaiming the sexuality, but as attraction marketing in business it doesn’t resonate with us.Pleasure-based business - Bottom line, in an attempt to reclaim their power, women are just falling back into the 2 oldest marketing techniques: controversy and sex sell.Brags - We’re 100% on board with celebrating wins and milestones, but the brags are often things that are the opposite of brag-worthy.The Take U...

Selling Sisterhood
Spiritual Sisterhood. First words that come to mind? MLM. Pay to play. Mean girls. Fake. Buying into package after package to get into the “inner circle,” but will any of them still be there if you’re unable to pay for the next package?The promise of sisterhood is very tempting to women starting out in online business, particularly lonely young moms who want to be able to work from home. At some point, the pendulum will swing the other way and the fake sisterhoods will disintegrate. Leaders will step back, calling their energy back into themselves, “releasin...

How We Got Here
The pendulum swings from one extreme to the other, but the healthiest balance is somewhere in the middle. We were both raised to be good Christian girls, but the deep magical intuition we felt growing up couldn’t be ignored. In this first episode, we’ll talk about our religious upbringing, the searching and questioning phase of our teen years, and how that got us into the online spiritual business world. The way we met was divine and magical, but the coach we were working for turned toxic and we began to see what the coaching space was t...

Election Series EP 1 | Elections in the Digital Age with Santosh Sigdel | AccoutabiliTEA Podcast
The face of the election has changed a lot in the digital age. Political campaigns that used to be door-to-door are now being boosted on social media platforms, and the conversations that happened in tea shops happen on Twitter, Facebook, and WhatsApp groups. But this digitization has also introduced the flow of misinformation and hate speech to online platforms. Adding to how fast information flows online, this has created big problems during the elections, that maliciously influence the decisions of voters.

Episode 8 | Life in Manaslu with Rune Bennike | AccountabiliTEA Podcast
Life in Manaslu is shaped by the people's religious beliefs, the local governance systems, and the anticipation of a future tourism boom.

Episode 7 | LGBTIQ+ Rights with Bhumika Shrestha | AccountabiliTEA Podcast
Have you ever had to explain what your sexual orientation is, or which gender you identify as? Can you imagine how frustrating it would be if people always misinterpreted your gender or treated you differently because of it? How many of us actually know what each letter in LGBTIQ means? The challenges faced by gender and sexual minorities in Nepal stem from a lack of awareness of their identities. Gender and sexual rights movements have recently been rising in Nepal, with the pride month events being the epitome of people’s solidarity towards the issue of LGBTIQ+ com...

Defending Democracy EP 3 | Foreign Aid and it's Effectiveness with Roshani Giri | AccountabiliTEA Podcast
Foreign Aid contributed to 23.3% of the national budget in 2020 and has remained similar since. But, can we identify how effective these foreign investments have been in Nepal?

"The environment that I grew up in isn't necessarily the same as it is now. So, when we speak of equality, we need to understand what equality means now, rather than what it meant for me when I was growing up." How can we improve the fight towards gender equality by reducing the gaps between generations? How is defining gender roles from an early age shaping inequalities in our societies? We talk about Nepali cultures - wedding rituals, period rites, mandatory gender roles, paid vs household works, etc, and dissect how our society has continuously...

How is the concerned CSO leading advocacy on this issue? In our fifth episode, we discuss all Gender and Migration with the Founder of AMKAS Nepal, Bijaya Rai Shrestha.
