That's Faux Deep

Join two sisters as they pop on their anti-capitalist reading glasses and sift through the Self-Help Industrial Complex. They’ll blend research and their opinions to try and make sense of the claims made in the books those spirituality influencers keep recommending. Features million-dollar scams, self-anointed gurus and questions the girls should definitely be discussing with their therapists instead of each other.

That's Faux Deep

The Octopussy Within Teal Swan

March 01, 2023 • sisters mathany and ma'any ahmed

Ma'any read Teal Swan's The Connection Process and tells us about it so maybe one day, we too can experience love like Teal's. This is one of the first episodes we ever recorded so if the quality isn't perfect... that's why. Be patient with us, we do this for free.

Our title song is "Starchild" by Dave Malloy
