Chapter 21... Lifegasm Book I: Marshall's Promise 32:07

2+ y ago32:07

32:07

*Who's Your Daddy?* EXCERPT: Some of my girlfriends raised their eyebrows when I told them the plan, but they knew better than to tell me I was nuts. I wasn’t stupid! I’d survived a good long time in this world walking the road less traveled. Clare admonished me gently when I told her about Mr. Florida: “Ok, if you think that’s safe, godspeed. But …

5:53

*The Sugar Skull* EXCERPT: I set up my phone, hit record. But something felt… different. “I know I’ve been calling these meditation videos,” I explained. “But that doesn’t feel entirely true. “Meditation” doesn’t feel like the most accurate word. There is a word, satsang, that translates to “meeting with truth,” but I don’t like to use Sanskrit bec…

Chapter 20... Lifegasm Book I: Marshall's Promise 24:31

2+ y ago24:31

24:31

*Manhattan, Manhattan, Manhattan* EXCERPT: Online degrees were a dime a dozen, especially those with religious affiliations, so it would have been easy peasy if I self-identified as Christian. But because I was unwilling to earn a degree from a Christian institution, my 4,000 options dwindled to approximately four. And two of the four were Harvard …

Chapter 19... Lifegasm Book I: Marshall's Promise 14:37

3y ago14:37

14:37

*That's Private* EXCERPT: So. It was looking like the institution of private property was a real problem. Private property allows us, one human to another, to say “this is mine, you aren’t allowed to physically exist here, even if you need to sleep, even if you need to eat, even if you need to piss. If you exist here, I can call men with guns who w…

Chapter 18... Lifegasm Book I: Marshall's Promise 22:57

3y ago22:57

22:57

*Giving Thanks* EXCERPT: This would be my first NFL experience, and I was moderately excited to do a thing I’d never done. But I’m not going to go into the details of how the Giants lost to the Redskins that day, or how institutional racism is so embedded in American culture that an official NFL team can still call themselves the “Redskins” with im…

Chapter 17... Lifegasm Book I: Marshall's Promise 25:34

3y ago25:34

25:34

*The Sex Club* EXCERPT: In theory, I was familiar with the concept of a spank bank, but I had never consciously cultivated my own inner reel of sexually-charged moments. This was probably because I’d been so ashamed to have sexual thoughts in the first place, especially if the sexual thoughts involved fucked-up cult sex, like in Martha Marcy May Ma…

Chapter 16... Lifegasm Book I: Marshall's Promise 20:00

3y ago20:00

20:00

*Jingle Bells* EXCERPT: We spent the rest of the weekend engaging in hilarious, articulate, informed discussions about everything with Madeline and the village. We visited her classroom and got introduced to her reptiles: there was Houdini the ball python, Milkshake the milk snake, ET the red eared slider turtle, and Frogzilla the African clawed fr…

Chapter 15... Lifegasm Book I: Marshall's Promise 26:35

3y ago26:35

26:35

*Things Fall Apart* EXCERPT: If the grocery store was a strikeout, the rest of the week was a losing streak. One of the reasons I’d been so attracted to Little Jack was his willingness to dominate me. As a good feminist, I’d never known I was allowed to want to be dominated. It was never a spoken rule, just an assumption: strong women can’t be held…

Chapter 14... Lifegasm Book I: Marshall's Promise 12:38

3y ago12:38

12:38

*Much Ado* EXCERPT: I was traveling Southwest, my favorite little airline. What makes this scrappy little discount company such a treasure, you wonder? I’ll tell you why. First, they’re just friendly. And that matters. But also, it’s because Southwest made all the right policy choices in all the right places. For starters, they don’t charge you ext…

Chapter 13... Lifegasm Book I: Marshall's Promise 18:03

3y ago18:03

18:03

*London Calling* EXCERPT: At one point back in London, Olivia mentioned how noticeable my weight loss was. And she was right. I’d dropped over twenty pounds since she’d last seen me in Mexico. It was all rather entertaining to me at the time. After decades of food obsession, body-obsession, self-abuse and anger, I’d finally let it all go. Once I di…

Chapter 12... Lifegasm Book I: Marshall's Promise 26:46

3y ago26:46

26:46

*The Dating Game* EXCERPT: I’ve been careful not to disparage the men I’ve slept with, especially for qualities that are unable to be changed (like natural endowment, for example) but I want to point out that there are some general, universal guidelines that you must follow if you want to be a good lover. While it is still true that what turns me o…

Chapter 11... Lifegasm Book I: Marshall's Promise 13:14

3y ago13:14

13:14

*Meeting with Truth* EXCERPT: As I looked up at the stars, I reflected on what I’d learned about the sacred essence of shelter: a place to sleep is not like a pair of pricey Italian boots. Shelter is not an indulgence we can live without. So if someone you love asks you to share your roof and you refuse, you’re essentially casting them into the dar…

Chapter 10... Lifegasm Book I: Marshall's Promise 20:57

3y ago20:57

20:57

*My Grandma, The Moon* EXCERPT: I prepared myself for a seven-hour stretch in the car, which wasn’t terribly challenging after so much practice. I had Peaches the artist to keep me company (“keep on it, keep on it, you own it…”) and perfect faith that seven hours was no big deal, that I could eat it up, that it was a privilege to have so much unint…

Chapter 9... Lifegasm Book I: Marshall's Promise 8:46

3y ago8:46

8:46

*Harriet's House of Healing* EXCERPT: My last scheduled night in Colorado came and went, so I’d have about a week to account for before seeing Gangaji. ‘What’s another seven days of shelter manifestation?’ I chuckled to myself. However, it felt wrong to ask my Colorado people to extend my stay with them. I knew it felt wrong because my gut said so.…

Chapter 8... Lifegasm Book I: Marshall's Promise 20:23

3y ago20:23

20:23

*The Birthday Surprise* EXCERPT: I’d never been into a strip club before (except for that one time in Guam…) because I’d always made assumptions about what they represented and what kind of people spent time inside. Now, of course, I was making a habit of questioning everything. Were strip clubs the naughty, gross, exploitive, venues full of lowlif…

3y ago6:40

6:40

*Privilege* EXCERPT: The following chapter was written contemporaneously with its release (that is, in April of 2021).... Now that the book is complete and I am releasing it, in standard Evy Wallace unconventional fashion, as this podcast, it occurs to me that the time I spent wandering and wondering and writing were merely placeholders, giving me …

Chapter 6... Lifegasm Book I: Marshall's Promise 13:37

3y ago13:37

13:37

*Broken Promises* EXCERPT: It’s challenging to explain my level of hunger, because I was many steps away from starving to death. But there’s a wide swath of human experience that lands somewhere between feeling fully satiated and dying of starvation, and while I was never worried that I wouldn’t have enough, and I’m certainly not complaining, I was…

Chapter 5... Lifegasm Book I: Marshall's Promise 32:05

3y ago32:05

32:05

*The Spiritual Road Trip* EXCERPT: When I arrived in Utah, I was surprised at how many people were milling about the public park who seemed, by their appearances, to not have reliable shelter. It’s hard for me to call people homeless, because then it becomes their identity, their title, their permanent truth; this same inescapable labeling tends to…

Chapter 4... Lifegasm Book I: Marshall's Promise 26:45

3y ago26:45

26:45

*The Goddess Chakra* EXCERPT: In those early months, my learning curve was steep. I learned that sexual needs represent an appetite that is just as legitimate, important, and unattached to shame as hunger. I learned that men weren’t the sex machines I’d been falsely conditioned to believe they were. (As it turns out, men are people, too!) I learned…

Chapter 3... Lifegasm Book I: Marshall's Promise 4:20

3y ago4:20

4:20

*Self First is NOT Selfish* EXCERPT: In walking the walk of my shifted value system, in following the constant call of my deepest divinity, in prioritizing the needs of my own heart and spirit, I was often accused of acting selfishly. My mom certainly seemed to think so. Others who had never expressed one iota of concern for my or my children’s wel…

Chapter 2 .... Lifegasm Book I: Marshall's Promise 1:08:01

3y ago1:08:01

1:08:01

*To All Things A Season* EXCERPT: Let me be clear: I was not pretending there wasn’t a loss to be mourned. Transformations come with growing pains. My fifteen-year marriage was ending; this ending was correct and necessary, and it was extremely uncomfortable for (what felt like) unbearably long moments. And yet, just as my heart kept beating after …

Chapter 1... Lifegasm Book I: Marshall's Promise 45:25

3y ago45:25

45:25

*I Am A Strange Loop* EXCERPT: This saga started two full summers ago, when I saw the writing nook for what it really was and heard Maestro, who had just died, say from behind me, “it’s always been a book.” No, that’s not right. It started in the autumn of 2016, when Marshall left us and cracked the universe open on his way out. Or maybe it started…

Intro... Lifegasm Book I: Marshall's Promise 9:53

3y ago9:53

9:53

Welcome to Lifegasm Book I: Marshall's Promise, released in podcast form for your (free!) listening pleasure. EXCERPT: In October of 2016 I looked death right in the eyeballs and I woke up to truth. When I hear myself say this, I hear how it might sound arrogant or egotistical. But the moral of this story is not that I am any more or less special t…
