<![CDATA[The Hesitant Hippy]]> https://rss.com/podcasts/the-hesitant-hippy Welcome to The Hesitant Hippy—the storytelling podcast of a typical millennial on a quest for meaning and joy.

After ticking all the boxes by my mid-30s, I still felt something was missing. So, I slipped out of my corporate heels and deep-dived into the so-called “conscious” community — Think tantra temples, silent retreats and psychedelic journeys. From consent to gurus, I come with all my judgement… and share what ACTUALLY happens behind the scenes, moment by moment;

I’m Erin—your curious and cautious guide into a world where people cry with strangers, chant in tongues, and search for God in plant medicine. Come under the covers with me—and I’ll share everything I’ve learned… so far.
