12. Why I Quit Raving

Y’all know I love electronic music. But this year your favorite spiritual bimbo has decided to skip EDC 2023. In fact, I think my raving days may be behind me. In this episode, I talk about my past experiences with Electric Daisy Carnival, my shifting priorities, and how my awakening has changed my relationship to old habits.

For anyone who’s been in the EDM festival scene, you probably already know what I’m talking about.

And if you don’t… Well, be sure to listen to the full episode to hear about the good, the bad, and the ugly of EDM and why my relationship with it will never be the same.

“If you lose your peace, that person’s fucking winning. You know, they’re gonna do what they’re gonna do, but if they’re taking your peace… fuck that dude.”
