Before the major shifts in my awakening, I was searching for something. What this something was, I did not know. The feeling inside me was seeking for deeper understanding and a stronger connection with God and the Universe, yet doing everything that “I was told to do” never led to this feeling being satiated. I was looking outside the Self for answers.. Yet the true understanding lied within. Soon after one of my first major shifts in my awakening I began to move into the dark night of the soul...

The world is rapidly changing. You may find yourself questioning a lot of your own beliefs, or what you see going on in society, both at large, and within your close relationships. This is by design. Humanity is truly on the precipice of the collapse of falseness into a new world, but it's going to take a lot of effort to get us over this hump! So where does it start?—YOU! Each and every one of us that desires to align with this new reality must awaken into the power of the self. No longer be sw...

Little did I know when I started working at Hemplucid in October of 2019, just how radically my life would shift in just a few short weeks.

Talyn is a woman who is beautifully stepping into her own power and authenticity, and there is a lot that can be learned from her wisdom. In this episode, Talyn and I dive in to a slew of topics including E...

I never fully considered, at the time I moved on to the path of self realization, some of the new and amazing experiences that would be waiting for me. Starting out is really intimidating and somewhat frightful, but here I am interviewing my first psychic. Really, the energy that a psychic taps into is no different than any of the energy work I’ve spoken about on my podcast, it’s just another label for another modality. Energy is all the same, and how one person interprets it compared to another...

What does quantum physics have to do with spirituality, manifesting, and consciousness? Well, just about everything, actually. In this episode, as I prepare for a weeklong workshop with Dr. Joe Dispenza, I share his absolutely ground-breaking research, and how his work of 15+ years is mating the fields of quantum physics with the teachings of spiritual evolution taught by the sages of all times, including Jesus. This episode is going to both expand and break your mind with so much information yo...

Shadow work is sometimes misunderstood; the other term for it is healing. That's right, shadow work is, in fact, healing. Did you think healing would be easy? In this episode, I dive into the difficult reality of doing shadow work. Because facing our past can be ugly and hard and difficult. Healing often involves lots of emotional work, crying, releasing, unlearning, and reprogramming our perception about past events that shape our current mindsets. It's about loving, accepting and giving up vic...

In this episode, I interview Celeste Davis, who, over the last five or so years, has had a number of experiences that opened her eyes to see more than the limited perspectives of God and love that her religion had to offer. Celeste shares one of her awakening experiences that occurred while in a meditation group where she discovered Big Love, or the true, unbounded love that exists within all of us. Celeste and I talk spiritual books, spiritual philosophy, the fear that stops us from changing, a...

Having the courage (and audacity) to live our lives authentically to our core is not easy to muster up. We feel so blocked by family, friends, cultural and societal pressures, we cower and hide in the shadows of other's expectations of who we ought to be. We fear what they might think, what God might think. Yet, this type of living is living based in fear. In this episode I discuss a number of possible attitudes we can adopt to aid us in this most important journey of self discovery. Questing ev...

Does the spiritual principle of faith actually apply in a nonreligious context? I believe faith is a very widely misunderstood concept, and through the teachings of religion, it is mostly misapplied. In religion, the power of faith is removed from the individual Self, and redirected towards someone else that knows more, says more, does more, promises more, or has some authority we do not. As I explore faith, I compare it to the concept of manifesting; I believe these two principles are really th...

Gaining the courage to live your truth can be very, very difficult, even in the face or oppression. In this episode, I interview Sabrina Smith, who runs a podcast herself called "Exmormon Bookclub". Sabrina was a bi-sexual Mormon that lived in fear or her true identity from the age of ten all the way into her thirties. Her story paints the extreme conflict and mental dissonance one can live with due to the fear of rejection we face from abandoning the cultural conditionings we are raised with....

Eric Ward was the sound healing practitioner that led me through my first sound bath experience. I was immediately captivated by the vibrations, frequencies and feelings that the journey introduced me to. At the time, I had no inclination that I would want to eventually get into sound healing myself, but I was intrigued enough to start asking questions. In this episode I bring Eric on to discuss sound healing in general, his first experience and some of the paths that his journey of life has tak...

Coming to realization and acceptance of who you really are, doesn't mean you need to leave a religion. In fact, your true self can be hidden under numerous layers of social, cultural, familial, and collective conditioning. Ben Booth, a good friend of mine from the early age of 13, shares his story of coming to realize he'd be living a life that wasn't in line with his authentic self. Ben went through a lot of struggles, including separating with his wife and teenage sweetheart after 15 years, pl...

In this episode I circle back to the subject of healing—which is the reuniting of self with the rejected aspects of the self, and creating wholeness. I explore how sickness comes from attempting to ignore, suppress, or bury "undesired" parts of our experience. We do this because we have subscribed to false beliefs that certain aspects of ourselves are evil or wrong or bad; these false perceptions become our paradigm of our experience and we continue to live it on repeat until we heal it. Healing...

In part two of this two-part interview, Carolee and I discuss how authentic spirituality leads us to the issuance of freedom for everyone to live the path that they have chosen, and that there isn't a need to "convert" people to your way of thinking. Trusting in the Self gives way for space to others to have and enjoy their own opinions. We talk about triggers, self-identity, and how our true essence can never be threatened. Healing is a major part of moving forward with our practice of self-lov...

In part one of this two-part interview, I invite my wife, Carolee, to come on to answer some questions and talk about our journey from religion to an authentic spiritual practice. Our discussion really leads us all over the place as we talk about the cultural clasps of upbringing, challenging areas or following your true-self, the essence of spirituality, gaining confidence in asking questions and getting answers that may not align with the narrative, and a slew of other topics....

I discuss my feelings on judgement, what it is and how, through religion and culture, we have been subconsciously programmed to judge ourselves, judge others, and subscribe to the fear that God and the Universe judges us constantly. Judgement is a damning principle, in that it blocks us (literally blocks our flow of energy) from the higher vibrations that life has to offer. It gets us stuck into horrible loops and cycles. When we release judgement, we actually unblock our ability to live at high...

The western holy works, such as the Bible and Book of Mormon, show us a mix between a loving God and a God that provokes fear—a God that wants us to live a certain way or else! Religion tends to showcase a lifestyle of "commandments" as a way of getting us to live in fear of judgement from God, which ultimately restricts our freedom. In this episode, I share one of several impactful experiences I had with the scriptures that actually helped me leave religion in pursuit of something much more pur...

Have you felt like you're a spiritual person but your faith (religion) doesn't permit you the self-expression your soul really needs and desires? Actually, whether it's religion, culture, up-bringing, social pressure, or work environment, we're nearly all in this place. Our soul needs to express itself, and when we finally let it, when we allow our true self to come forward and BE, this is the moment our true spiritual freedom begins to unfurl. Come hear about how I left my religion and started ...
