The Dharma Diaries
Christina Rusca
Welcome to The Dharma Diaries—the podcast where we find the humor in humanity’s awakening. Hosted by Christina Rusca, this laid-back, ad-free pod takes a playful approach to unraveling societal conditioning and expectations so we can become the most authentic versions of ourselves. No topic is off-limits, and no belief is sacred as we navigate the complexities of spiritual evolution in a refreshingly lighthearted and straightforward way.
The Dharma Diaries is a quirky blend of unrestrained narratives, anecdotes, and insights that challenge the status quo. If you're ready to question everything, laugh at the absurdities of life as well as at yourself, and enjoy some company on your path of spiritual awakening, welcome—you've found the spot.

Psychological Spaghetti | Season 2 | Episode 23
The Dharma Diaries
04/24/24 • 55 min
In this string board of an episode, we manage to link performance art, envy versus jealousy, some Swiftie love, and practicing what we preach.
This one is peppered with a bunch of filler language and fun little cliches to remind y'all that we're just a couple of real, flawed humans. We also talk about sweaty cheese. Enjoy!

What They Gon' Do? | Season 4 | Episode 37
The Dharma Diaries
01/21/25 • 50 min
Welcome to the episode that might land me on some lame watchlist if I’m not there already! Let’s talk about systems breaking down, systemic operational failures of governmental institutions, the TikTok ban (this was recorded before the platform went down and came back up fully under oligarchical control), quietly quitting as a means of revolution, disengaging from top-heavy structures (there’s even a shoutout to Cap One and this was recorded PRIOR to their recent very public f*ck up), and oligarchy (again—recorded before Biden’s hot take that—surprise! is a day late and a dollar short).

The End Credits Are Rolling | Season 4 | Episode 38
The Dharma Diaries
02/12/25 • 51 min
What if the real power move isn’t fighting the system but ignoring it into oblivion? Spoiler alert: it dies without the energy we give it. More hot takes on why protesting is overrated, why both political parties are flaming dumpster fires, and how divesting your attention is the ultimate rebellion. We’re talking personal sovereignty, the illusion of control, and how to stop funding systems that don’t serve you. Plus, why your higher self might just be watching you like a cosmic reality show (and rooting for you, obviously). TL;DR: Stop feeding the Matrix. Start feeding your soul. Let’s co-create the new game. You in?
