Princeton Psychologist Reveals Intuition

A Princeton-trained PhD researcher walked away from academia's pinnacle because the biggest questions weren't being asked. What she found wasn't in a lab. It was in the intuitive gifts her field trained her to dismiss. Victoria Shaw spent years at Columbia and Princeton before realizing even brilliant minds don't reason toward truth—they find facts that fit their beliefs. The science on psychic phenomena is some of the most replicable data out there. We've just been taught it doesn't count. This...

Your Anger Opens Spirit Guides

Spirit doesn’t shout. It whispers through your rage, your grief, and the signs you’ve been brushing off. In this conversation, Aycee Brown and I get real about why your anger might actually be your fastest connection to your guides, why medication isn’t a spiritual failure, and why you can’t manifest your way out of systemic oppression. If you’re tired of bypassing your humanness in the name of being “light,” this one’s for you. 00:00 Why Spirit Whispers Instead of Shouts 02:56 Welcome Back Ayce...

The Energy Rules of Success

If you've ever walked into a room and felt the tension before anyone spoke, or made a decision you knew was right but couldn’t logically explain, you already know what we’re talking about. For years, I kept my own spiritual side locked away, afraid it didn’t belong in the professional world. Michele Phillips not only lived that split—she figured out how to heal it. In this conversation, we get into the concrete science behind your energy, why your “gut” is more reliable than your resume, and the...

Soul Dislocation and the Way Back

Lorena Savvedra Smith talks about something most of us feel but can’t name: soul dislocation. That spiraling, fragmented feeling after a hard conversation. The numbness when the world feels like too much. Her ancestors had a name for it, and a way back. In this conversation, we explore why our rush to “heal” with ancient practices might be causing more harm, and how true healing asks us to stop running from nature’s power—and run toward it. 00:00 Introduction: The Ferocity of True Healing 03:54 ...

Why You Feel Disconnected

All trauma is spiritual trauma. It severs the impulse to reach for wonder, connection, and meaning—the very essence of our soul. In this episode, Dr. Hillary McBride, a leading voice on embodiment and spiritual trauma, redefines how we understand healing. We explore the holes trauma leaves in our souls, why the body is the portal back to our spirituality, and a simple yet profound practice (heart rate sensing) that can unlock your intuition and reconnect you to yourself. This is a conversation a...

Letting Go of My Mother's Ghost

Grief hit me like a tidal wave, even with all my knowledge of the spirit world. This week, I’m talking with Samantha Rose, a ghostwriter for a famous medium, who lost her mother to suicide. She shares how she used her professional skills to reconnect with her mom through dreams and automatic writing, finding a way to forgive her and, ultimately, herself. This is a powerful conversation about the masks we wear, the courage to ask for help, and the profound realization that love doesn't end when a...

How to Be Radically Honest

If you are waiting for the universe to explain why something painful happened, stop. You will never get that answer.

This is a masterclass in spiritual adulthood. 00:00 Why Caroline Myss Rethought Everything 02:59 The Accidental Birth of the Medical Intuitive 08:27 The Gift of Quiet & Incub...

The Lost Art of Conscious Aging

Are you afraid you're shrinking instead of growing? My conversation today with Ron Pevny will completely change how you see your later years.

Ron reveals the difference between just getting older and stepping into the fullness of who you were always meant to be. 00:00 The Lost Art of Conscious Aging 03:17 Defining the Shift from Midlife to Elderhood 06:14 What is the...

The Science of Thriving

Today, I’m talking with Jon Rosemberg. He spent decades climbing the corporate ladder, closing massive deals, and achieving everything we’re told will make us happy. But his real wake-up call didn’t come in a boardroom—it happened on his basement floor, building Legos with his kids. In this powerful conversation, Jon breaks down the difference between success and true thriving, and shares the science-backed map to reclaim your agency, find meaning, and reconnect with what actually matters. 00:00...

The Art of Manifesting Reality

I always thought manifesting was about thinking, visualizing, and waiting. My talk with Colette Baron-Reid turned that idea on its head. She showed me that the ancient, physical act of drawing is the missing neurological link between a spiritual desire and tangible reality. We discuss why digital vision boards fall short, how she achieved everything on her boards only after letting go, and the simple doodling practice that rewires your brain to co-create with the universe. 00:00 Reclaiming Creat...

The Spiritual Power of Your Dreams

Dreams have always felt like a locked door to me, a part of my inner world I couldn't quite access. My conversation with dream scientist Dr. Bonnie Buckner changed that. We explore how your sleeping brain is a creative powerhouse, how nightmares are actually trapped energy, and how she literally moved to France because of a dream. This is about listening to the most intimate conversation you have with yourself. 00:00 Welcome: Creativity & The Power of Dreams 01:43 Meet Dr. Bonnie Buckner: Fr...

Your Anxiety Is a Messenger

Are we treating our anxiety all wrong? I sit down with channeler and author Elizabeth April, who’s lived with anxiety her entire life, to explore a radical new perspective. We talk about how anxiety isn't a symptom to suppress, but a crucial alarm system—your own "spidey sense." This conversation gets into the quantum nature of fear, why anxiety rates are exploding (hint: solar flares and energetic sensitivity), and the collective "rug pull" forecast for 2026. This isn't traditional mental healt...

Anxiety isn't a monster to fight—it's a message you've been misreading. For decades, we've treated the symptoms and missed the roots.

Forgiving Yourself After Child Loss

Is it really possible to choose joy after the death of a child? My conversation with Melissa Hull is a profound testament that it is.

From Self-Hatred to Soul Connection

In this episode, I sit down with Gerard Powell, a man who had it all from the outside—multimillions, fast cars, and luxury homes—but was utterly broken inside. After decades of self-destruction, and two suicide attempts, even intensive therapy couldn't reach the root of his pain. In a final, desperate act, he turned to plant medicine. What happened there didn't just save his life; it revealed a childhood trauma he had completely buried and gave him a new heart—literally. Jerry now runs Rythmia, ...

Spiritual Crisis in Mental Health

I sit down with Dr. David Rosmarin, an associate professor at Harvard Medical School and a pioneer bridging the worlds of spirituality and clinical psychology. We explore a powerful, yet often ignored, truth in mental health: that for many, emotional distress is a crisis of meaning and spirit.
