Known in the vegan world for her very successful children's books, LA artist Ruby Roth has done a definite pivot. Following the breakup of a defining relationship, she started to explore herself as an individual and a woman, and turned her art to an exploration of the female form. Her new book, Boss Inside: A Reclamation of the Feminine, reveals this new course. In this episode, we talk about art, all the "selves" we have inside, and about new beginnings. And yes, Ruby remains staunchly vegan.

Noted scholar of the history of religions, Elaine Pagels describes her own spiritual life as one of music, nature, friendship, and love. The author of books including The Gnostic Gospels, The Gospel of Thomas, and the memoir Why Religion? shares about her life -- why she took up the study of religion as an academic discipline, how she navigated the death of her six-year-old and her beloved husband within a single year, and how she sees life and faith today.

That openness to something unexpected is what transforms people." Website: https://www.elaine-pagels.com. Amazon author page: https://tinyurl.com/pagelsamazon.
