The Vault of the Wanderer is a sobriety-literature commentary illuminating the writings of Alcoholics Anonymous and material heard in the rooms of AA. The commentator weaves AA literature with the Bhagavad Gita, the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth, the Buddha, and other sacred texts. This is not a podcast about how to stop drinking, but about the inner work that begins once sobriety is stable — dismantling defects of character, understanding the ego, and uncovering the Innermost Self. The voice speaks as a fellow traveler, not as a representative of AA or any tradition.

What I Learned in Therapy is a profound exploration of trauma healing through the art of storytelling, philosophical inquiry, and transformative practices. Hosted by Jamie Lange, a licensed clinical professional counselor with a master's in communication and gender and a 500-Hour Registered Yoga Teacher, this podcast delves into the lived experiences that shape our understanding of healing. Drawing inspiration from a diverse range of philosophers—from Jesus and Buddha to Plato, Nietzsche, Maya Angelou, bell hooks, and Audre Lorde—each episode invites listeners to witness and narrate their own stories as a path to embodied healing and spiritual surrender. In addition to insightful discussions on somatic therapy, post-traumatic growth, and the intricate relationship between identity, ego, and attachment, the podcast offers guided meditations designed for those seeking extra support or a gentle introduction to therapy. With a focus on yoga philosophy, particularly the principles of non-attachment, these grounding practices aim to enhance your healing journey. Through trauma-informed spirituality and Buddhist psychotherapy, we emphasize that to heal, we must see, hear, and tell our whole story repeatedly. Join us on this transformative journey as we navigate the complexities of mental health, empowering ourselves and each other to embrace the fullness of our experiences. Subscribe and become part of our community, where storytelling, philosophy, and meditation lead the way to healing.
