Beloved Futures
“the ultimate, hidden truth of the world is that it is something that we make, and could just as easily make differently.”
~ David Graeber
The world is changing all around us. I know in my bones that, contrary to the evening news, a new and more beautiful way of human-ing on the planet is being birthed. One that is in right relation with Earth (Gaia), embracing the truth of Inter-being. The Beloved Futures podcast is a space of soul nourishment where we explore what is going right with the world and give space to the Beloved Futures emerging in our midst.
When we can collectively imagine multidimensional futures that we wish to live in, we will make the choices in the present that steer us there with more ease and grace.
Imagination is the mostpowerful force available to humankind.
Together we imagine new worlds into being. Radical (to the root) modes of relating with the world, remembering how to live with earth as the sentient being that she is.
Each episode, I connect with individuals and collectives whoare actively engaged withand devoted tocatalyzingbelovedfutures. What do these futureslook like, taste like, smell like, feel liketo them? What propels their work and dedication to radical imaginings?Together we explore what brings them energy and hope, the twists and turns of their life and learningand how their workin the world adds to the collective experience of thriving and joy.
These conversations with artists, healers, teachers, creators, storytellers, farmers, spiritual leaders, mothers and others on the frontlines of the imagination revolution are aimed at supporting all of us as werise into our creative potential as human BE-comings.
Each one of us is a vessel for thelife forceof Loveto flow into material experience and each one of us has an invaluable gift to share. When we focus our energies on the Beloved Futures, we collectively produce an energetic in the now that makes the seemingly impossible, possible. The time is now, there is no other moment than the present. Together we are a force. And so it is...

What if we're not waiting for the new world to arrive?
What if we're already living in the fragile, miraculous moment between worlds?
In this chapter conversation, Aubrey is joined once again by her dear friend Gabriela to explore Mariposa – the closing chapter of Part I of the Our Beloved Futures book. Together, they reflect on the butterfly as a living metaphor for our collective moment: emerging from the chrysalis with wings still wet, suspended between what is ending and what has not yet fully begun.
Rather than rushing toward certainty, this conversation invites us to honor the threshold itself. The awkwardness. The paradox. The beauty of becoming. Aubrey shares why this in-between space is not a mistake to escape, but sacred territory where new forms of humanity are slowly learning to breathe.
As the conversation unfolds, they explore the energy body as a bridge through uncertainty, the invitation to "become immense" in a time of global crisis, and why our greatest capacity may not be individual brilliance, but communal wisdom.

What We Explore in this Episode
This conversation weaves together mythology, ecology, spirituality, psychology, and systems thinking to ask what it truly means to become human during an age of transformation.
Together, Aubrey and Gabriela explore why the butterfly's struggle cannot be rushed, how collapse and emergence coexist, the role of the subtle energy body in navigating change, and why the future will be imagined, and built, not by isolated heroes, but by communities learning to listen together.
Key Takeaways:
- The Mariposa moment – Humanity is emerging from the chrysalis, but our wings are still wet. Transformation asks for patience, not premature certainty.
- The sacred threshold – We are living between worlds, where the old is dissolving and the new has not yet fully taken form.
- Becoming immense – Rather than shrinking in the face of complexity, this moment asks us to expand our capacity for grief, love, responsibility, and courage.
- The energy body as bridge – Ancient understandings of our energetic anatomy offer practical ways to remain grounded and relational during uncertainty.
- We come in peace – Beneath generations of fear and conditioning lives our deepest nature: one rooted in relationship, belonging, and care.
- Prophecy by community – The future will not emerge through isolated individuals, but through collective resonance, shared imagination, and communities learning to discern together.
This episode is an invitation to trust the slow intelligence of transformation. To recognize that not knowing is part of becoming. To remember that the butterfly does not rush the drying of its wings. And perhaps, neither should we.
