The Empire of Self: From Sensual Awakening to Spiritual Rebirth

A raw confession of faith, embodiment, and rediscovery from L.A.—where bliss, trauma, and grace collide.

In this powerful solo episode, author and recovery advocate Mark A. Turnipseed shares an unfiltered memoir of moving to Los Angeles, leaving the church, and navigating the highs and lows of following his bliss. Through sensual embodiment, trauma work, and radical self-honesty, Mark learns to rebuild his energy from within—without addiction, approval, or external fixes. What begins as a search for freedom through the body ultimately leads him back to faith and a simple creed: community, service, and unity. This is an invitation to love yourself, forgive deeply, and build the inner empire you were created for.
