About this podcast

The Empathy Lab with Tatum I map what's breaking you before you do. I'm Selena Tatum Isles — former DJ Seriousblack (Coachella, Bonnaroo, SXSW, Wanderlust), Certified Yoga & Ayurvedic Teacher, grief doula, Doctoral Researcher, Quality Analyst at a global financial institution, and homeschooling mother. All of that is the method. Every week on The Empathy Lab, we audit the hidden architecture underneath your friction — the inherited scripts, the survival language, the somatic patterns paying rent in rooms you already earned. At work, at home, in the inner monologue at 2am. Using Mantra, Yantra, and Tantra as structural technology. Not spirituality as decoration. The friction is fractal. The Inefficiency Tax ends here. I'm Tatum. Stay anchored. 🌀 Read the Field Notes on
