    paper UnBoxing “God” podcast

    UnBoxing “God” is a 50+ episode, weekly podcast exploring the intersection of spirituality, psychology, creativity, and recovery.

    Each episode blends:
    • Scholarship (Carl Jung, archetypes, shadows, intuition)
    • Storytelling (personal narrative, myth, spirituality in everyday life)
    • Conversation (guests, lived experiences, recovery journeys)

    The series makes complex ideas accessible and engaging, weaving research with vulnerability, humor, and creative exploration.

    I created and managed every aspect of the project, serving as:
    • Concept Developer & Researcher – shaped the theme, researched psychology, myth, and spirituality.
    • Writer & Storyteller – scripted episodes, wrote narratives, blended scholarship with lived experience.
    • Host & Performer – presented, voiced, and acted in all episodes.
    • Producer & Engineer – recorded, edited, transcribed, and managed studio operations.
    • Designer & Creative Director – created album art, graphics, and brand visuals.
    • Marketing & Community Builder – ran digital campaigns, audience engagement, and distribution.
    • Project Manager – coordinated releases, partnerships, and growth strategies.

    The result: a trusted, thought-provoking series known for making big ideas human, resonant, and unforgettable.
