The two close friends took a road trip from LA to visit Jaymee in Ojai for the day at a highly transitional time in both their lives, which resulted in a deeply intimate conversation on topics ranging from the inspiration behind John's iconic mustache, Jess's ranking as the #4 listener of Arthur Russell on Spotify in 2025, the invitation to take the 'Leap of love' in life, the mystical white van that saved Jaymee's life, and that artists themselves are the true unfinished project. Plus the skinny on Jess's new cookbook (due this year), the mystery of John's unfinished album, and so much more.Interested in Trauma Counseling/Mentorship with Jaymee?email: lacee@loveistheauthor.com to set up a free consultation,or visit: www.loveistheauthor.com/mentorship for more info.LITA PODCAST: hosted, produced, and recorded by Jaymee Carpenter.

| 5/9/26 |  Episode 147 - Rani Singh on Harry Smith | In this fascinating episode of Love Is The Author, Jaymee sits down with Rani Singh of the Harry Smith Archives for a deep dive into the mythic life and enduring legacy of visionary artist, anthropologist, filmmaker, occult explorer, and collector Harry Smith. Best known to many for compiling the legendary Anthology of American Folk Music, Harry Smith’s influence quietly shaped generations of artists, musicians, filmmakers, and seekers—from the Beat movement to the psychedelic underground and beyond. Rani shares intimate stories from years spent preserving and stewarding Smith’s sprawling body of work, offering insight into the mind of a man who seemed to live somewhere between genius, mystic, archivist, and holy fool. Together, Jaymee and Rani explore Harry’s obsession with symbolism across cultures, the strange spiritual electricity that continues to surround his work decades after his passing, and the role of the cultural archivist as both protector and translator of forgotten worlds. A mind-expanding dialogue about one of America’s most enigmatic creative visionaries—and the invisible threads connecting music, spirit, and the collective imagination.

With his channel Dakota of Earth nearing the one-million subscriber mark, Dakota reflects on his unlikely entry into the spiritual path—from once being an argumentative atheist encouraged by the writings of Christopher Hitchens, to becoming a devout man of God enthusiastically exploring the sacredness of a multitude of spiritual traditions the sacred to the profane. He speaks openly about the Krishna devotee who mentored him before tragically taking his own life, what it was like being stranded in Peru for three months at the onset of the pandemic at an ayahuasca retreat, and the deeper reckonings that followed. Throughout the conversation, Dakota offers moments of honest self-reflection that remind us the screen is just another mirror.One of Jaymee’s favorite conversations to date—with a fascinating, seemingly fearless spiritual journalist reporting from the front lines of the incomprehensible.LITA PODCAST: hosted, produced, and recorded by Jaymee Carpenter.

| 2/21/26 |  Episode 138 - Jesus Christ / (no first name) Aurora | In this expansive double-issue episode, Jaymee welcomes back the wandering mystic known as Jesus Christ, or "Jesus Eveningstar Aurum Aquarian" from his time in the spiritual cult The Source Family. What unfolds is a hilarious, reality-bending exploration of mysticism, spiritual experimentation, communal living in the heart of 1970s spiritual counterculture, and the long arc of awakening in the subtler initiations of everyday life. In the second half of this special, Jaymee is joined by his extraterrestrial friend "(no first name) Aurora", who describes her experience of inhabiting a 27 year old human form formerly known as Debbie. Aurora shares her teachings on energetic sovereignty: a practice she calls the Flying Rainbow Lasagne— which is a dance designed to help individuals navigate and protect themselves from the harms and dangers of an increasingly unorganic, technological world.Provocative, unusual, and undeniably sincere, this double feature explores the edges of belief while returning again and again to the same question: What does it mean to live from love, no matter the story we inhabit?LITA PODCAST: hosted, produced, edited and recorded by Jaymee Carpenter.
