To our loyal listeners, guests and supporters,

What can we say after a long invigorating podcast journey of vulnerability, transparency, and healing? For the transformation and reconciliation of broken relationships inward and outward? For the genuine laughs and the tears? For the overwhelming love poured out?

All we can say is thank you. Thank you for inspiring us and carrying the mass exodus message to those around you. Thank you for having the courage to look deep within yourselves.  Thank you for walking with us as we navigate the mystery we call life. You deserve all the praise.

Enjoy this last episode of hosts past and present coming together to say farewell to the good work and memories we all made. 

And as we say at the end of every episode... be kind to yourselves, be kind to others and never stop searching for questions.

In our final episode of the 12 step series, we tap into the power of pausing and listening. Why is this simple practice so difficult and yet very crucial to our recovery journey? Is a spiritual awakening even possible?  Steps 11 and 12 state:

(Step 11) “Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.”

(Step 12) "Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these Steps, we tried to carry this message to alcoholics, and to practice these principles in all our affairs."

As we near the end of our 12 Step series, the grief gang talks about what it is to live a life of continued inner and outer processing and why self kindness matters. 

In step 10 we:

"Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it."

Dun, dun, dun... we've finally arrived at the long-awaited steps that has our stomach in knots: making amends. The grief gang shares personal  stories while pondering if this step actually brings the greatest sense of relief in our recovery. Maybe it isn't as bad as it seems? As always, there's lots of laughs, a few gasps, and a treasure chest full of discovery! Rob also reads yet another fake ad, this time by our sponsor, The G.O.P. (Gorman's Overhead Projectors)

In steps 8 & 9 we...

“Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.”

"Make direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others."

As the dreaded "amends steps" approach, we take our 12 step series to Ian's 1930's yacht where we ponder the meaning of humility, why preparatory steps like this one are important and then ask one important question... are we actually in control? Step Seven states:

"Humbly ask Him to remove your shortcomings."

In a bit of a detour, the Mass Exodus crew explores the cultural, spiritual and personal impact of Adam McKay's Oscar nominated 2021 film, "Don't Look Up." Is there a deeper message embedded within this movie that we can learn from? Are the characters more than just set pieces to the plot? How does this film reflect our own aspirations and struggles as visionaries? Listen to find out!

As the 12 episodes of the 12 steps continues, we await for the emotional surgery of toxic characteristics about to take place in the next step. Patience is a virtue, as the old proverb says! Step 6 states:

"Were entirely ready to have God remove all of the defects of character."

By this point in our 12 step series, we've admitted we're powerless, asked for the help from a higher power, and sorted through our stinky trash of toxic behaviors and misdeeds.  Now comes the time to talk about it with those around us. On this week's episode, we cover step 5:

"Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being, the exact nature of our wrongs." 

As well, Rob reads yet another fake ad, this time for "Christ Crispies Cereal."
