The Purple Pawedcast

Today's episode features a fascinating discussion of psychic energy with Gao Motsemme.  An African Quantum Witchdoctor and Psychic Surgeon, Gao's work teaches us how to tune into our natural energetic fields to build a better life.  Gao and I discuss topics as diverse as the power inherited through our names, the unsinkable honesty of our soul, and the social philosophy of Depeche Mode.

What is The Purple Pawedcast?

Welcome to The Purple Pawedcast, where we unpack the complexities of gender, identity, and what it truly means to be human—without the academic jargon (okay, maybe just a little, but only the fun kind).

Curated by Amethysta Herrick. Ph.D., this pod is where science, philosophy, and lived experience collide to challenge assumptions and spark new perspectives. Whether you’re here to explore your own identity, stay informed on the latest research, or just enjoy a deep dive into the human experience, we deliver thoughtful, engaging, and refreshingly honest discussions. No fluff. No gatekeeping. Just real conversations about who we are and how we navigate the world. Dive in, stay curious, and let’s rethink identity together.
