Love is the Author is a heart-centered podcast that explores the power of love, human connection, and authenticity in shaping our lives. Hosted by Jaymee Carpenter, a seasoned mental health professional and spiritual mentor, this podcast invites listeners on a journey of self-discovery and personal transformation, interviewing a wide range of multidisciplinary artists and spiritual teachers from around the world.
On the morning of September 11th 2025, Lady Diana J. Mukpo, who was Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche’s wife, closest friend, and confidant, and a brilliant Buddhist teacher in her own right passed away. Jaymee was granted the incredibly rare opportunity to interview Lady Diana in 2023 on the 36th anniversary of Trungpa Rinpoche's passing (April 4th, 1987) while she herself was hospitalized related to her ongoing battle with cancer. This in depth interview would sadly be her last, and is being re-released as a small offering of condolence to her family, many friends, students and admirers. Within this hour we discuss her extraordinary life journey as the Queen Of Shambhala. There are those who may be intimately familiar with the books and teachings of Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche, but have yet to be introduced properly to the extraordinary feminine force by his side all of those years who made so much of what he accomplished in the west possible, planting initial seeds of the Buddha dharma to flourish for future generations.

Mystical/Cynical
Hosted by Daren Magee and Jaymee Carpenter, this podcast is a humorous, sincere, and rare exhibition of male vulnerability and heart-warming friendship, attempting to establish harmonious connections between cynicism and optimism, and the potential of an atheist/agnostic to recognize the mystical qualities within everyday life.

After 5 years and 3 Seasons, we've decided to leave on a loving high note. This show has been an incredible love project over the course of 5 years, our attempt at a love letter to humanity. We both feel there is no other show like this in the world, and we are both so proud of the road map to healing we're leaving behind. We thank you for having us into your minds and hearts, and hope you start your own love projects while you still can.
