Some dreams don’t fade when we wake.

They linger — tugging at us like a memory that isn’t ours alone.

In this episode of the Mama Rae Podcast, Mama Rae explores the ancient and poetic theory that certain souls are connected by an invisible string — a tether that stretches across time, space, silence, and even dreams.

Inspired by a vivid dream and poetry by @thefallenpoet, this episode dives into:

• The Red String of Fate and soul-tether theories across cultures

• Why some people feel instantly familiar

• How connection can exist without constant presence

• The idea that our souls may meet in dreams when waking life won’t allow it

• Why tangled connections can still be true — even if they don’t last

This is a reflective, philosophical conversation meant to spark curiosity, deepen consciousness, and invite listeners into a quieter, more connected way of understanding human bonds.

✨ Featured in this episode:

• Partner mentions for Comfrt and C7 Skates

• Book updates and personal reflections

• An announcement for a new collaborative podcast, The Check-In with Brady & Ye

• A glimpse into Mama Rae’s upcoming work, planned for release before her 40th birthday on February 5th

🎙️ COMING SOON: THE CHECK-IN WITH BRADY & YE

Mama Rae is teaming up with Tressa Brady for a new podcast:

🎧 The Check-In with Brady & Ye

Honest, weekly conversations centered on healing, advocacy, and showing up fully as humans.

📍 First recordings planned for Murrieta Hot Springs (February)

📅 Additional episodes begin January

Stay tuned.

What if the world isn’t quite as solid as it feels?

In this surreal, reflective episode, Mama Rae explores the ancient concept of the firmament — its origins, what the Bible actually says about it, and why humans across history imagined the sky as a boundary, a dome, or a protective structure.

From rainbows and their true circular shape, to the uncanny feeling that mountains sometimes look staged or unreal, this episode drifts between science, Scripture, psychology, and wonder.

We talk about:

• ​ Why rainbows feel symbolic — and why each of us sees our own
• ​ The ancient belief in a firmament and how it shaped early cosmology
• ​ That strange “snow globe” feeling — as if the world is contained or paused
• ​ Why like-minded people seem to find each other at just the right time
• ​ Whether synchronicity is coincidence… or divine guidance

This episode doesn’t aim to prove or disprove anything.

It’s an invitation to feel, to question, and to sit with the mystery of connection — between light and water, mind and meaning, creation and Creator.

📝 SHOW NOTES

⏳ Episode Themes

• ​ The history and origins of the firmament
• ​ Biblical language and ancient cosmology
• ​ Rainbows explained: light, water, perspective, and the full circle
• ​ Perception, illusion, and liminal states of mind
• ​ Synchronicity, neural mirroring, and spiritual alignment
• ​ Faith, connection, and why certain people feel instantly familiar

🌈 Key Takeaway

A rainbow is not an object — it’s a relationship between light, water, and you.

And maybe connection works the same way.
