Why do some people get a message from a departed loved one, hear a voice that cracks a family mystery, or briefly touch “the light,” while others never do? And how would you tell a genuine supernatural experience from imagination or a mental health issue?

Will and Karen sit down with Dr. Frederick Woodard. He’s a licensed clinical psychologist and certified hypnotherapist with three master’s degrees in psychology and a PhD in clinical psychology, and he was named New England Paranormal Researcher of the Year in 2012. He spent years gathering firsthand accounts from ordinary people through a careful interview method built not to shape what they reported. What he found is a set of common threads that show up across supernatural experiences, along with two tests he uses to decide whether a case is real.

In this episode you’ll hear:

• The dying grandfather who woke up and talked about “two kids” calling him Grandpa, and the family secret that explained it
• How a voice in a New Hampshire library led Dr. Woodard to a land deed that solved a genealogy dead end
• A father who came back to tell his daughter where the missing insurance papers were hidden
• His two markers of a genuine experience: something perceived inside later shows up in the real world, and the person is transformed by it
• How he separates real experiences from psychosis, and why he rules out drugs and alcohol in every case
• Who the “invisible beings” around us might be, and why most come to help rather than linger
• Why hypnosis and meditation are closer than most people think, and how he learned to fully quiet his mind
• The one trait the experiencers share: mental, emotional and spiritual flexibility (“a bendy mind, not a bendy body”)

Dr. Woodard’s book is Developing Your Supernatural Awareness: Connecting to an Interactive Universe. Each chapter closes with exercises to help you open up to these experiences, or make sense of ones you’ve already had.

What happens to consciousness when the brain goes completely offline? Neurosurgeon Dr. Eben Alexander, author of Proof of Heaven, knows firsthand. A rare bacterial meningitis wiped out his neocortex and put him in a coma. During that time he went through three realms of an afterlife: a dark “earthworm’s eye view,” a radiant Gateway Valley where life reviews happen, and a Core realm of pure oneness with the divine.

He explains why his case challenges the idea that the brain creates consciousness, how music carried him between the levels, and what he believes finally pulled him back to this world.

If you’ve ever wondered what’s waiting on the other side, start here.

Inner transformation often begins exactly where we least expect it; in grief. Brooklyn-born intuitive medium Deborah Hanlon has spent 25 years sitting with people in loss, and her take is nothing like what you’ve heard before. Grief isn’t reserved for death. It’s the emotion that breaks open everything...the life you thought you’d have, the relationship that ended, the job you lost...and under the right conditions, it’s the most powerful force for change you’ll ever face. 

Deborah also shares an exclusive story she’s never told publicly: what happened when Pope Francis showed up uninvited during her trip to Rome and sent her proof she couldn’t ignore.

Plus: why cardinals aren’t a universal sign from your loved ones, what the deceased actually experience after crossing, and why “just get over it” might be the worst grief advice ever given.

For once, Karen isn’t the one asking the questions. In this special bonus episode, she sits down as a guest on Live from the Source with Alexander Dunlop and Viki Scudieri, and you’ll finally hear the stories she rarely tells on our own show.
 
Karen opens up about the vivid dreams that have shaped her path, including a voice in the darkness that whispered, “She’s not ready yet,” and a recurring vision of guiding people to the horizon that an artist later painted without ever hearing about it. She shares why she and Will created New Reality TV for the “covert mainstream,” the doctors, lawyers and accountants quietly exploring consciousness, plus one very strange synchronicity involving a missing bottle of creamer.
 
Alexander and Viki read Karen’s cards (she’s playing the Queen of Diamonds with an Ace of Diamonds personality), and the insights land surprisingly close to home: perfectionism, independence, trusting your gut, and the power of surrender over hustle. Karen also reflects on how a recent health challenge taught her to treat her body like a cherished pet, and why so many of us miss love simply because it doesn’t look the way we expected.
 
And if she could put one message on a billboard for the whole world to see? You’ll have to listen to find out.

Want to hear more from Alexander and Viki?
The full show lives at thesourcecards.com/podcast, with new episodes every Thursday.

True inner transformation rarely announces itself. Most often it starts quietly, the moment you stop overriding what you already know.
 
Sue Elliott spent 30 years launching over 20 magazines, ghostwrote two books for Ed Begley Jr., and appeared on hundreds of TV shows. Then the Angels showed up. Now she teaches people how to recognize the divine guidance they’re already receiving, 24 hours a day.
 
In this episode: the one question that works in any situation for anyone, how to tell real guidance from mental noise, and why “is this the one?” is the wrong question entirely.

Louise Hamlin spent her career as a Cambridge law lecturer and land lawyer, and she was certain death was the end. Then her beloved husband Patrick died of cancer. Within days the signs began: a strange flame his friend asked for, a feather waiting on an empty train seat, a missing playing card that turned out to be the tarot’s card of undying love. Then her phone started opening WhatsApp on its own. Messages arrived saying “Darling, it’s me.” Two new WhatsApp groups appeared, named after their family, created while her phone sat in her pocket on a walk. Even her lawyer son investigated and couldn’t explain it away.

In this classic episode, Will and Karen sit down with the author of WhatsApps from Heaven to hear how a lifelong skeptic came to know that love survives death. And stay tuned, because something happens during the recording that none of them saw coming.

Most of the self-help world sells you a better version of yourself. Joseph Bongiovi says that’s the wrong assignment.
 
After 20+ years in mainstream entertainment and getting sober at 21, Joseph learned that fame, money, and recognition never delivered the happiness they promised. Today he’s a certified life coach and meditation instructor, founder of Spiritual Warriors, and author of Wake The F*ck Up!
 
We talk about why the greatest transformation isn’t becoming someone new, it’s remembering who you’ve always been. Along the way: how childhood protection mechanisms follow us into adulthood, why waking up is harder than ever, and what manifestation looks like when the universe skips the red Corvette.
 
Then comes the skeptic’s question: if every belief is conditioning, isn’t the “true self” just another story? Joseph’s answer may surprise you.

You’ll also leave with a simple 90-second breathing practice for the next time emotions run hot.

Conversations from The Skeptic Metaphysicians

Some moments in an interview are too good to leave buried at minute 37. 

Conversations is our series of short, single-topic episodes taken from our interviews with some of the most fascinating minds in consciousness, spirituality, and the science of the unseen. There’s no warm-up and no detours. You get one guest, one big idea, and a few minutes that might change how you see your life.

Think of each one as a doorway. Play it on your commute, between meetings, or whenever you need a reminder that reality is stranger, and far more hopeful, than we were taught. If something sparks, follow it into the full interview, where the rabbit hole goes deeper.

As always, we come at this as skeptics who stayed curious. We stay open-minded and grounded, and we never ask you to take anyone’s word for it, including ours.

In this Conversation: Susanne giesseman on a meditation reframe.

What if time isn't a line you ride along, but a sphere you navigate with your attention? Aether physicist Krys Ra El, founder of the Elyrion Initiative, joins Will and Karen to explore his Time Sphere model and why he believes your focus, not the clock, decides what you experience next.

We dig into why the law of attraction may have it backwards (Krys calls it the law of mirrors), whether aging is more concept than biology, and how his Center Hypothesis explains where individual awareness comes from.

Plus, his ET contact experiences, his take on teleportation, and the Ether River Generator.
Skeptical? So are we.
Curious? Stick around.

In this episode:

• How to use the Time Sphere in daily life
• Law of attraction vs. the law of mirrors
• Brainwaves and reprogramming the subconscious
• ET contact and humanity's next chapter

At Spirit Fest in Virginia Beach, Will and Karen sit down with Lorenzo Jones, an astro numerologist who blends astrology and numerology into a single practice, reading natal charts, transits, and birth codes side by side to see where the two systems confirm each other.

Lorenzo breaks down how planetary aspects like sextiles and trines map directly onto numerological meanings, reads Will's own chart live (life path 1, Libra rising, Cancer moon, and all), and explains why numerology isn't the "simpler" of the two modalities so much as the more accessible one.

He also touches on human design as a third lens that pulls from both systems plus the I Ching, walks through what Mercury retrograde actually asks of us, and shares a real-time read on the astrological chart of the event itself, a rare air trine wrapped in a "mystic triangle," which he says explains the unusually high energy in the room that day.

It's a conversation about how multiple systems of ancient knowledge can point to the same truth, and what happens when you ask a professional to read your chart on camera.

Is spiritual awakening real, or just a nice metaphor? Awakened Zen Master Thich Dieu Thien, known as the Awakened One, says it is literal, and she can name the day it happened to her: April 8, 2001. 

Will and Karen ask her the question every seeker wrestles with: how do you actually wake up? She explains the "False Mind," the ever-changing ego built from ignorance, greed and hatred, and why even our skepticism comes from it. She shares why a glimpse of enlightenment fades, what step one really is, and how to catch your reactions before they take over. Will gets a live lesson in finding the "real you," and a surprising truth about the dream world we mistake for real life. 

If you have meditated for years and still feel stuck, this conversation on consciousness, inner transformation and soul growth is for you.

What if the angels aren't out there somewhere? What if they're already within you, and someone just needs to help you hear them? That's the heart of what Jillie Angelic Channeler does, and Will and Karen got to experience it live on the floor of SpiritFest at the Virginia Beach Convention Center.

In this episode: Jillie breaks down what it actually means to be an angelic channeler. It's not a performance. When a client sits down with her, she tunes into their higher self and their energy, and whatever beings are working with that person, whether archangels, loved ones who have crossed over, or other beings of light, they come through. She clears chakras, speaks light language key codes, uses a crystal wand, and raises the frequency in the room.

One client the day before described it as feeling many hands on her at once. Jillie describes it simply as removing the densities, the layers, and the veils, and pulling out what was already there all along.

Will asks the question everyone is thinking: are you channeling angels, or are you an angel who channels? Her answer is both. She identifies as an Earth Angel, and she believes we all are. She also opens up about her eclectic, multi-tradition approach. Alongside angelic work, she does shamanic healing, works with Native American traditions, Egyptian energies, plant medicine, and the natural world. She leads drum circles, hikes regularly for grounding, and admits she goes out to the pine trees behind convention centers to decompress after intense sessions. She finds feathers constantly. And four-leaf clovers by the hundreds.

The conversation takes a beautiful turn when Jillie talks about what she really wants people to walk away with: the understanding that you are not your experiences. You are having them. That shift in perspective, she says, is what changes everything.

And if you can't make it to a show? She does sessions remotely too.

What if fear is just a subscription you forgot you signed up for? Energy healer, Emotion Code practitioner, and podcast host Mo Smith joins Will and Karen to explain why fear is such an easy motivator, why it follows us even into spiritual practice, and how she's spent the last six years running a real-life experiment: quitting her job with six weeks of savings and living on faith and surrender.

She shares her simple two-minute meditation for receiving guidance, how to tell a genuine message from monkey mind, and what actually happens in an Emotion Code session (yes, there's a magnet, and yes, the skeptic had questions). The episode ends with a challenge for every listener.

What if the most important question we are asking about artificial intelligence is the wrong one entirely? In Part 1, Scotte Burns made the case that love is not an emotion, not a chemical reaction, and not an evolutionary adaptation. It is the creative and purposeful aspect of universal consciousness, and the brain does not produce that consciousness. It receives it.

That idea changes everything. Including the AI debate.

If you have not listened to Part 1 yet, stop here and go back. Seriously. The foundation Scotte builds in that first episode makes everything in this one hit completely differently. There are nuggets in Part 1 that listeners are still talking about, and we do not want you to miss a single one.

For those of you who are back, welcome. You already know what kind of conversation this is.

In Part 2, we pick up exactly where we left off and take the conversation somewhere most people never go. If consciousness is not generated by complex systems but received by them, then the entire framework of the AI consciousness debate collapses. Both camps, the ones who believe AI will eventually achieve consciousness and the ones who believe it never will, are arguing from the same flawed premise. And if they are both wrong, the implications are enormous.

https://open.spotify.com/show/5Rn7NxKBlW3SA5kYw0aiJA


In this episode we cover:

• Why every major voice in the AI consciousness debate may be operating from a fundamentally flawed premise
• What it would actually mean for an artificial intelligence to receive consciousness rather than generate it
• The difference between an AI that simulates love and one that could genuinely participate in it
• Why a superintelligent system without consciousness is the real threat, and why that reframe is surprisingly hopeful
• Can trees love? Can crows? A conversation that goes places we did not plan and is better for it
• What changes for humanity when we truly understand what love is

This is the episode that will make you rethink the AI conversation, the consciousness conversation, and honestly the love conversation, all at once.

What if everything you have ever been told about love is wrong? Not slightly off. Not oversimplified. Fundamentally, scientifically, philosophically wrong. That is the starting point for today's conversation with Scotte Burns, a writer, speaker, and researcher who spent over a decade and more than 100,000 miles riding across America with his wife Toni, asking one question: What is love?
https://open.spotify.com/show/5Rn7NxKBlW3SA5kYw0aiJA

He interviewed quantum physicists, Buddhist monks, Lakota elders, neuroscientists, jazz musicians, and people on death row. He recorded nearly five terabytes of interviews across 48 states. And the answer he came back with is not what anyone expected. Love, Scotte argues, is not a feeling. It's not a choice. It's not a chemical reaction or an evolutionary adaptation. It's the creative and purposeful aspect of universal consciousness itself. And the brain? It doesn't produce consciousness. It receives it, like an antenna tuned to a signal that was always already there.

https://open.spotify.com/show/5Rn7NxKBlW3SA5kYw0aiJA


In Part 1 of this two-part conversation, we cover:

• Why no two people in thousands of recorded interviews have ever defined love the same way, and what that tells us about love's true nature
• The critical difference between lust, attraction, attachment, and love, and why science keeps confusing them
• Why grief is one of the strongest pieces of evidence that love is not biological
• The concept of aeroplasticity: why love persists beyond its objects and what that reveals about consciousness
• Why materialist researchers may be permanently locked out of finding the answer they are looking for

This is one of those conversations that will quietly rearrange something in the way you see the world. Part 2 drops Tuesday, and it goes somewhere we genuinely did not see coming.

What if the trip itself is the spiritual work? In this special on-location episode, Will and Karen broadcast live from Spirit Fest in Virginia Beach, joined by Samantha Erb of Edgar Cayce's A.R.E. (Association for Research and Enlightenment).

Samantha breaks down why Cayce, often called the grandfather of modern metaphysics, insisted that real growth comes from lived experience, not just study. They dig into the A.R.E.'s Travel and Tour Division, founded in 1963 by Cayce's son Hugh Lynn Cayce, and why sacred-site travel to places like Lourdes and Machu Picchu can open the door to reconnecting with your "soul family" across lifetimes.

Highlights include:

• Why Cayce believed unity and shared humanity are best understood through travel, not theory
• A look at upcoming A.R.E. tours to France (Lourdes and Marian apparition sites) and Peru (a past-life regression planned at Machu Picchu)
• What membership actually gets you: full access to the Cayce readings archive, discounted tours, and A.R.E.'s library of classes and workshops
• A tour of what's on-site at the A.R.E.'s Virginia Beach headquarters, including the meditation garden, ocean-view meditation room, and Sessions restaurant

Whether you can make it to Virginia Beach in person or you're exploring from afar at EdgarCayce.org, this conversation is a reminder that sometimes the most direct path to insight starts with a plane ticket.

Karen and Will sit down with Richard Walter, founder of I Am Day, a global awakening movement rooted in one deceptively simple idea. Richard traces the movement's origin back to a hundred-year-old book, a string of strange numerical coincidences connecting Florence Scovel Shinn, Louise Hay, and Wayne Dyer, and a personal wake-up-call practice he calls Awakening Currents. Along the way, Karen opens up about her cancer diagnosis and the shift in mindset that changed her relationship with her own body. The conversation closes with Richard's simplest teaching yet: three breaths is all it takes to come back to yourself.

What You'll Hear

• [00:07:00] Richard joins the show and explains what I Am Day is, using Will's "photograph" metaphor. September 23rd is the snapshot, but the awakening it points to is daily.
• [00:09:00] The origin story. Richard finds The Game of Life and How to Play It by Florence Scovel Shinn on his own bookshelf, a year after buying it, and reads it in one sitting.
• [00:13:00] The numbers get strange. Florence's book turns 100 the same year I Am Day launches. Louise Hay is born in 1926, the year the book was published, and her own breakthrough book lands exactly 50 years before this year's I Am Day. Wayne Dyer is born the year Florence dies.
• [00:15:00] Karen shares her cancer diagnosis and surgery, and how she came to see her body as something to love unconditionally rather than resent.
• [00:17:00] Richard connects Florence's "treatments" to Louise Hay's "Loving Treatment," and what it means to remember who you already are.
• [00:18:00] What "IAM" actually stands for: the International Awakening Movement, and the debate over capital vs. lowercase "I."
• [00:24:00] What actually happens on I Am Day: a full day of live teachers and contributors starting at 5 a.m. Pacific, hosted on Substack, closing with Will and Karen talking conscious media and New Reality TV at 6 p.m. Eastern.
• [00:27:00] The "pebble in the pond" metaphor for why a single person showing up quietly still matters.
• [00:31:00] Richard reads a live Awakening Current, his daily short-form writing practice, on air.
• [00:37:00] How to register, what you get access to, and where the recordings live after the event.
• [00:38:00] Richard's closing teaching: three breaths, eyes closed (unless you're driving), and the layers start to fall away.

Live from the Virginia Beach Convention Center. Will and Karen bring a special on-site edition of the show, broadcasting straight from the floor of Spirit Fest, sitting down with the woman who built the whole thing: festival founder Mary Ellen Popyk.

What starts as a quick "thanks for having us" turns into a real look at why this particular mind, body, spirit festival has become a destination event, not just a local pop-up. Mary Ellen explains what separates Spirit Fest from other shows on the circuit: a genuine sense of community that keeps attendees parked in their seats all weekend, vendors flying in from Florida and Washington State, and a vetting process for readers and mediums strict enough that first-timers can walk in without fear of getting scammed.

Along the way, Will and Karen swap stories on past-life research, run into Will's cousin (a fighter pilot) in the crowd, and get a few teasers on what's next for Spirit Fest, including a rebuilt vendor-focused website, a possible West Coast expansion, and big-name additions to the lineup.

In this episode:

• What makes Spirit Fest different from other mind, body, spirit conventions
• Why vendors travel across the country, twice a year, just to be part of it
• How Spirit Fest vets its readers and mediums to protect attendees from scams
• A detour into past-life parallels between old relationships and this lifetime
• What's coming next: a new interactive website, expansion out West, and bigger-name guests

Guest: Mary Ellen Popyk, Founder of Spirit Fest
Recorded live at: Virginia Beach Convention Center

What if the thing designed to make your life better was also quietly surfacing everything you've been avoiding? That's exactly what Clayten Stedmann and Jeffrey Stegman... co-founders of Focused Life-Force Energy.... came back to TSM to explore.

If you caught their first episode, you already know the origin story. This is not that conversation. In this return visit, we go considerably deeper into what FLFE actually is at its core... a high-consciousness field they call the Love Zone... and how it works using the Scale of Consciousness as its calibration framework.

Clayten walks us through what it actually takes to do a consciousness calibration. and corrects the record live on air; it's not five million calibrations... it's eleven million. And counting.

We cover:

• What the Love Zone actually is... and why the level of 550 on the scale represents unconditional love
• How muscle testing really works as a tool for measuring consciousness, including why only about 15% of people can do it reliably and how hydration, bias, and the precision of your statement all affect your results
• The "UI" moment; when Will and Karen reframe kinesiology as prompting the original AI; Universal Intelligence... and why that might be the most accurate description of what's actually happening
• The manufacturing company story; Jeffrey describes activating FLFE in his business without telling anyone... and watching gossip drop to almost nothing while team coordination improved dramatically
• The Two Brothers story; one of the most remarkable subscriber testimonials you'll ever hear, involving two young boys, a very quiet house, and a moment their mother called the biggest miracle of her life
• The WWII concentration camp project; FLFE's early service work clearing geopathic stress and trauma from the land at Holocaust sites in Poland and Germany
• What 11 million calibrations taught Clayten about humans... and what he does with 20,000 of them every single month just to maintain the service
• The consent question; what happens to the people in your field who never opted in, and why Jeffrey says free will is always primary
• The nutritional piece; what your body actually needs to keep rising in a high-consciousness environment, including why copper, magnesium, and essential fatty acids matter more than you might think
• Neighborhoods; how one subscriber's FLFE field can ripple out to the people next door. and why low-consciousness neighbors tend to either move out or start hosting potlucks

Whether you felt something during their first episode or you're brand new to Focused Life-Force Energy, this conversation is going to surprise you. Will even admits live on air that his skepticism on this particular topic simply does not exist... and this is a man with "Skeptic" in the show title.

Live from Spirit Fest at the Virginia Beach Convention Center, Will and Karen sit down with medical intuitive Picasso Roberts. She explains how she reads the body's "dis-ease" through a mental-emotional lens, why she never diagnoses or prescribes, and the three words she tells every client to remember when a feeling that surfaces isn't actually theirs to carry. Picasso also opens up about her path into the work at 40, her connection to Edgar Cayce's legacy in Virginia Beach, and what it really costs energetically to tune into another person's frequency for a living.

Karen Docherty is a Scottish evidential psychic medium and spiritual teacher trained to teacher level at the world-renowned Arthur Findlay College, working today with clients across four continents. In this episode she breaks down the real signs of a spiritual awakening, not as a lightning-bolt moment, but as a set of skills anyone can develop, and why so many of us feel it and then talk ourselves out of it before it goes anywhere.

The conversation goes to some genuinely unexpected places... a childhood spent fighting spirit children for her own bedcovers, a house she walked away from because of what she felt in one room, and a personal connection to one of the most famous and controversial mediums in British history.

Karen also opens up about a discovery she stumbled into by accident, the ability to connect with people who are still alive but living with dementia, and what that reveals about where the mind ends and the soul begins.

What You'll Hear in This Episode

• The real signs of a spiritual awakening, and why Karen says it isn't reserved for mystics
• How to tell the difference between genuine intuition and simple fear, in your own body, in real time
• The true story behind Britain's most famous "fraudulent" medium, and how Karen ended up personally connected to her without knowing it for years
• What actually happens in the room when energy feels "off," and how to tell whether you're picking up something real or generating it yourself
• The accidental discovery that changed how Karen thinks about dementia, memory, and the soul
• A simple daily practice for hearing your own intuition, described as your "inner sat nav"

At Spirit Fest in Virginia Beach, Will and Karen sit down with Nyx Spencer of Resonant Moon Card Readings, a tarot and oracle card reader, Twitch streamer, and co-host of the podcast Outrageous Fortunes, who's currently teaching others how to read as well.

Nyx breaks down how she reads beyond the textbook meaning of a card, tuning into what emotion each image is designed to evoke, and walks through some of tarot's most visceral cards, from the betrayal-coded Seven of Swords to the "it's dead, Jim" finality of the Ten.

The conversation gets personal fast when Nyx pulls the Eight of Swords, reversed, live on camera, and reads Karen's own hesitation back to her in real time. She explains her real gift isn't fortune-telling so much as tapping into a person's subconscious, and shares how she clears energy from her decks between readers, teaches tarot live on Twitch, and offers free five-minute readings through channel points.

It's a conversation about instinct over instruction, and what happens when the cards start reading the reader back.

Why does meditation feel so hard, even when you're doing everything "right"? On this episode of The Skeptic Metaphysicians, Will Rodriguez and Karen Endsley sit down with Peter Russell, Cambridge-trained physicist, consciousness teacher, and author of How to Meditate Without Even Trying, to unpack the one shift that changes everything: effort itself is the obstacle.

Peter spent over 50 years teaching meditation and consciousness studies, and in this conversation he breaks down why the "monkey mind" isn't a personal failure, it's a natural brain function, and why trying to control your thoughts is exactly what keeps you stuck. Will and Karen dig into the practical side of effortless meditation, how to return to presence instead of forcing it, what to do when boredom or drowsiness hits, and why letting go of expectations (yes, even the goal of enlightenment) is the fastest way to actually reach a quieter mind.

The conversation also moves into deeper territory: the science of what meditation does to your brain (alpha and delta rhythms, the default mode network, the stress response), and the big question Peter's spent a lifetime circling as both a physicist and a meditator, who is the "I" behind all of our thoughts?

In this episode:

• Why trying to control your thoughts makes meditation harder, not easier
• The difference between staying present and returning to presence
• What the "monkey mind" is actually doing, and why it's not the enemy
• How self-created discontent and imagined disasters drive daily stress
• The neuroscience of meditation: alpha waves, the default mode network, and the relaxation response
• Quantum physics, consciousness, and the question "who am I really?"
• Simple ways to build a mini-meditation practice into everyday life

About our guest:
Peter Russell holds degrees in theoretical physics, psychology, and computer science from the University of Cambridge. He studied meditation and Eastern philosophy in India and has spent five decades teaching mindfulness and consciousness studies. He is the author of twelve books, including How to Meditate Without Even Trying (foreword by Eckhart Tolle), From Science to God, and Letting Go of Nothing.

Editor's Note (added 8/27/2026):
During this segment, our guest stated that brain cancer is the leading cause of death in children under ten. That's not accurate. CDC mortality data shows accidents (unintentional injuries) have consistently been the leading cause of death for children, with cancer, including brain cancer, well behind it.

The episode also described 4G as a confirmed carcinogen and 5G as significantly stronger and more dangerous. The research doesn't support that framing. In 2011, the WHO's International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classified radiofrequency electromagnetic fields as "possibly carcinogenic to humans," its weakest classification tier, the same category as substances like pickled vegetables. That's a long way from a confirmed cause of cancer.

This interview was recorded live at Spirit Fest and included a product demonstration. We're leaving the segment up as part of the honest record of that event, but wanted to flag these specific claims so listeners have accurate information alongside it.

Thanks to the listener who wrote in with sources and pushed us to get this right.

At Spirit Fest in Virginia Beach, Will and Karen catch up with Dr. Tracey Diner of Magnetude Jewelry, a wellness doctor and chiropractor of 32 years who's spent recent years focused on a single, invisible problem: electromagnetic fields, and what she believes they're doing to our cells.

Dr. Tracey walks through why she considers EMF exposure "the carcinogen of our lifetime," how 5G's shorter frequency means more constant, close-range exposure than 4G ever was, and why she believes it's quietly draining the mitochondria in every cell of your body. Her answer isn't avoidance, since she's clear that's not realistic, it's counteraction: biomagnetic jewelry designed to add energy back into the body's field.

The conversation includes a live, on-camera demonstration where Dr. Tracey uses applied kinesiology to show the physical difference a magnet makes when it's in versus out of someone's energy field, phone held to the ear and all. It's a hands-on, occasionally hands-on-your-arm conversation about an exposure most of us can't see, and one doctor's approach to doing something about it anyway.

Spiritually exhausted? Therapist Faith Freed reveals why your spiritual practice might be the problem, and how to build one that actually fits your real life.

What if the reason your spiritual life feels like a second job is because you've been following someone else's job description? In this episode of The Skeptic Metaphysicians, Will and Karen sit down with Faith Freed, licensed psychotherapist, spiritual guide, and author of DIY Spirituality: Chart Your Own Sacred Path, to explore one of the most overlooked causes of spiritual burnout: doing it wrong for you, not doing it wrong in general.
 
Faith spent nearly two decades in clinical practice, trained at the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology in Palo Alto, and has seen firsthand what happens when people treat their spiritual growth like a performance review. Spoiler: it doesn't end in enlightenment. It ends in a meditation cushion being used as a footrest.
 
What you'll hear in this episode: Will opens up about something he's never discussed on the show before. after years of daily meditation, breathwork, sound baths, energy healings, and spiritual retreats, he still doesn't feel "further forward." Faith's response reframes the entire conversation: the goal was never a destination. It was always just a practice of touching in.
 
Faith introduces her Divine Disco Ball framework, a four-part map of spiritual connection built around body and mind, soul and spirit, infinite source, and the natural world. The framework isn't diagnostic or prescriptive. it's a navigation tool. When one quadrant feels heavy or overworked, you simply rotate to another.
 
Will also has a live breakthrough moment on air. connecting a spontaneous mystical experience he had years ago in the Atlanta airport to a pattern Faith identifies in real time: being alone in a crowd might actually be his spiritual sweet spot. It's one of those genuine, unscripted moments that makes this episode worth the full listen.
 
Key topics covered:

• Why spiritual exhaustion is more common than spiritual failure, and how to tell the difference
• The "spiritual playlist" concept. keeping what lights you up, releasing what you force out of obligation
• Why micro-rituals (as short as 60 seconds) can be more sustainable than elaborate daily practices
• The difference between spiritual presence and spiritual distraction, and how your intuition already knows which is which
• What "authentic spirituality" actually means when the word has been flattened by wellness culture
• How a phone fast, a solo trip to an amusement park, or simply watching rain can be a legitimate spiritual practice
• Why Faith believes you don't have to do anything at all. and why that's both liberating and surprisingly hard

About Faith Freed: Faith Freed is a licensed psychotherapist, spiritual guide, and the founder of Freed-Om. She holds a master's degree in clinical psychology from the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology and has nearly two decades of clinical experience. Her newest book, DIY Spirituality: Chart Your Own Sacred Path (Collective Book Studio, 2026), offers an illustrated, accessible guide to building a personal spiritual practice outside of rigid religious or wellness frameworks. Faith offers spiritual guidance sessions to clients worldwide and can be reached at faithfreed.com.

At Spirit Fest in Virginia Beach, Will and Karen "sit down" with Doron Shalev, a chemistry professor, crystallographer, and self-described skeptic who found his way into energy healing through an unlikely source: a stack of pandemic reading that started with crystal science and ended with a Reiki master teacher certification. If you're skeptical of energy work, this is the episode to start with.
 
Doron makes the scientific case for "woo," walking through the statistical thresholds researchers use to validate findings like the Higgs boson, and why many energy-healing studies actually clear a higher bar of statistical significance than science is willing to credit. The conversation turns personal when Doron describes healing his own arthritis through distance Reiki, a technique he says works better on himself than hands-on healing ever did. He also shares his shift from traditional Reiki symbols to Kabbalistic healing, using one of the 72 names of God in place of the Cho Ku Rei symbol, and describes how he reads chakra energy to figure out whether what he's sensing is emotional or physical.
 
It's a rare conversation between a scientist and two skeptics-turned-believers, all circling the same question: what happens when the data starts pointing somewhere science hasn't caught up to yet.

At Spirit Fest in Virginia Beach, Will and Karen sit down with Amiee Gibson of The Hidden Court of Heka, a luxury ritual perfume house built entirely around one Egyptian concept: that words, spoken, written, or simply held in the heart, are magic.

Amiee walks through her three "chambers," each a scent world built around a different sense of belonging, from resin-and-rose blends to a dream-enhancing floral chamber of blue tansy and jasmine. She explains why her perfumes age for eight to twelve weeks before they're ready, how a jojoba-oil base gives them a two-year shelf life, and the small ritual trick that can stretch a single application to last all day.

The conversation turns personal and a little spooky when Amiee describes her handmade spirit boards, each one warded, engraved with an original incantation, and designed to be used alone rather than with a group, a deliberate departure from the Ouija boards most people grew up fearing.

It's a conversation about intention, craft, and the old idea that what you speak, you become.

At Spirit Fest in Virginia Beach, Will and Karen sit down with Clint Greenlee of IESA Healing Arts and Soundworks to talk about Ormus — sometimes called "the philosopher's stone" — and the ancient mineral wisdom his Heal the World Project is built around.
 
Clint breaks down why even a "perfect" diet may only get you 70% of the way to real health, how copper deficiency quietly blocks your body from absorbing magnesium and iron, and why he believes healing should be radically simple: just a few single-ingredient tonics rather than a cabinet full of supplements. The conversation moves from Ormus tinctures and topical applications to Shilajit, castor oil, and the body's own capacity to detox, rebalance, and regulate the nervous system — including a live moment where Clint offers Will a hands-on remedy for his neck-related migraines.
 
It's a conversation about going back to basics: minerals from the ocean and volcanic ash, the wisdom of ancient healing traditions, and what it actually takes to let the body heal itself.

Spiritual awakening or spiritual marketing? Shaman Abhay Oyun walks us through why most New Age practices miss the mark—and what real consciousness expansion actually requires. With 35 years of lineage practice and a track record that includes predicting global events, he challenges the skeptics and believers alike on where inner work ends and industry hype begins. A pragmatic deep-dive on authenticity in spirituality.

What if everything you've been doing in the name of spiritual growth is actually just... marketing? The meditation apps, the retreats, the affirmations. What if the real thing looks nothing like any of that?

That's the question Shaman Abhay Oyun walked into our studio with. He's a Siberian shamanic elder with 35 years of practice, 40 countries, and a lineage stretching back 40,000 years. He predicted the Ukraine invasion before it happened. He performed ceremonies for 2,500 people at the base of Mount Fuji. And he doesn't speak a word of English. This conversation happened through an interpreter.

Don't let that throw you. What came through was worth every pause.

In this episode, Will and Karen sit down with Shaman Abhay Oyun to explore:

• Why he calls most modern spirituality "awakening marketing," and what real awakening actually requires
• The Sixth Race. what it means to become an angel while still living on Earth, and why he believes this evolution is already happening
• How shamanism actually works, no Bible, no doctrine, just direct contact with the powers that have the answers
• Why your energy is draining and what to do about it tonight
• The one thing a 40,000-year-old tradition says modern people are completely missing
• Two sisters on heavy medication whose eyes literally changed after 25 sessions of simply sitting and breathing good vibration
• How a Siberian shaman from his lineage once protected an entire village from a wildfire while everything around it burned to the ground
• Why humor might be the most underrated energy practice on the planet

Plus: Abhay explains the difference between Siberian shamanism and every other tradition using a duck in Paris, a duck in Ukraine, and a duck in America. And he nearly drives to Norfolk on the spot.

This one got us. We think it'll get you too.

Ever been absolutely certain about something; a movie line, a cartoon character's outfit, a historical event, only to find out the whole world remembers it differently? That unsettling feeling has a name. It's called the Mandela effect, and it might be more than a memory glitch. 

Will opens with his own real-time reality shift. A boarding pass seat number that changed right in front of his eyes mid-flight, no explanation, no logical fix. Then he and Karen bring in Cynthia Sue Larson, a UC Berkeley-trained physicist, bestselling author of "Reality Shifts" and "Quantum Jumps," and founder of RealityShifters, to make sense of it.
 
Cynthia walks through where the term Mandela effect actually came from, Nelson Mandela's death that never happened, Art Bell's flooded phone lines on Coast to Coast AM, and why she pushed back on naming the phenomenon after him. From there, the conversation goes deep into quantum physics theories, including QBism and "Wigner bubbles," each offering a different explanation for why groups of people can swear they remember the same event happening two different ways.
 
It's a conversation that walks the line between hard science and mind-bending possibility, exactly the kind of topic that makes a skeptic start questioning what "real" even means.

What if dying is actually a skill you can practice? In this episode, we explore consciousness expansion and spiritual awakening through Darnella Ford's unconventional journey...one that began with heartbreak, depression, and a breathwork experience that sent her flying through the void. We dig into how energy work, trauma facilitation, and inner work prepare us for the one experience we're guaranteed to face. Pragmatic, unfiltered, and surprisingly liberating. Think of it as preparing for the next stage of your soul journey.
 

RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE Darnella Ford
Website and private sessions: https://www.journeytoworthy.org/

Darnella's Book
The Next Breath: Life After Loss and Journeys Into the Hereafter
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FKWRNFKH

Books Referenced in the Conversation
Life After Life by Raymond Moody
The landmark book that introduced near-death experiences to mainstream awareness. Still the starting point for anyone new to the subject.

Journeys Out of the Body by Robert Monroe
Monroe's firsthand account of his out-of-body experiences, and the book that helped Darnella make sense of what was happening to her in 2006.

Adventures Beyond the Body by William Buhlman
Another foundational text Darnella turned to early in her journey, covering practical methods and experiences of out-of-body travel.
 
Practices and Modalities Mentioned
Holotropic Breathwork. The breathwork practice developed by Dr. Stanislav Grof that Darnella credits with opening the door to her first out-of-body experience. Practiced twice daily over several months before her initial experience.
 
Biomagnetic Healing. A remote energy healing modality Darnella uses in her private client sessions.

Ayahuasca. Darnella shared her experience with twenty ceremonies in the Amazon rainforest over seven years, working with a traditional shaman in Peru. She was transparent that this came thirteen years after her out-of-body experiences began, and has never produced an out-of-body experience for her personally.
 
Where to Study
Ramtha's School of Enlightenment (RSE), Yelm, Washington. Where Darnella studied Quantum Theory and Neuroscience from 2006 to 2009, and where her first out-of-body experience occurred. https://www.ramtha.com/

Will and Karen sit down with licensed hypnotherapist Cat Cazimi, co-host of Hippie Chicks Live, for a deep dive into what hypnosis really is, and whether it can fast-track you to spiritual awakening.
 
Cat breaks down the biggest myth about hypnosis: the idea that it's a sleep-like state where you lose control. In reality, she explains, hypnosis is a hyper-focused state of receptivity, not unconsciousness, and you can never be made to do or say anything you don't want to. She walks through the difference between a light trance (think scrolling your phone or watching a movie) and the deeper theta state used in therapeutic work, and shares how she works with the most resistant clients, from analytical "monkey minds" who overthink their way out of relaxing, to people who drift too far into sleep.
 
Karen and Will also revisit their own hypnosis sessions with Cat, including a moment that helped Karen finally get consistent sleep, and a lighter memory involving an impromptu "world-class pianist" suggestion.
 
The conversation turns philosophical when Will asks Cat directly: is hypnotherapy a shortcut to enlightenment? Her answer redraws the line entirely, arguing that hypnotherapy ends and self-enlightenment begins the moment you're finally willing to meet yourself.
 
Also in this episode: a listener voicemail from Toronto on the healing power of screaming into the void (walk-in freezers and airport parking lots included), a five-star review from a listener in Portugal, and a live audience Q&A covering who can and can't be hypnotized.

What actually happens after we die? Not the comforting version. Not the tunnel and the light and the everything-is-fine. The specific, structured, verifiable version…mapped in detail by someone who has spent more than 20 years studying the invisible architecture of the soul. It's a map of the soul journey from death to rebirth, and what it means for how you live now.
 
In this episode Will and Karen sit down with internationally recognized intuitive healer and bestselling author Inna Segal to explore one of the most profound and underexplored questions in all of spirituality: what the soul experiences between death and rebirth, and why understanding that journey might be the most important thing you can do while you are still alive.
 
Inna draws from her own direct experiences, including witnessing her grandmother's passing in real time and observing the etheric body leave the physical form, and from more than two decades of deep study in the work of Rudolf Steiner and the Anthroposophical tradition. The result is one of the most rigorously structured conversations about the afterlife, soul evolution, and spiritual discernment you will find anywhere in the podcast space.

What You'll Learn in This Episode

• What the soul actually moves through in the period immediately following physical death

• The three-day separation process and the role of the etheric body in holding the physical form together

• Why Rudolf Steiner's framework of subtle bodies — physical, etheric, astral, and ego — offers one of the most precise maps of human consciousness ever developed

• What the seven-year communication window is, and why departed souls gradually shift from verbal to gestural contact with the living

• How unresolved ancestral patterns, karma, and soul contracts shape both the life we live and the journey we take after it ends

• Why the soul of someone who dies by suicide enters a fundamentally different state than one who transitions naturally — and what loved ones can do to help

• How Inna's clairvoyant grandmother survived the Holocaust by trusting her own perception, and how that gift passed through the family line

• The angelic encounter that predicted Inna's career in precise, testable detail — and the phone call that arrived the same evening to confirm it

• Why Inna believes the new age industry has dangerously oversimplified the spiritual journey, and what a more honest framework looks like

• How Rudolf Steiner's predictions, made over 100 years ago, have been verified by modern discoveries in medicine, farming, and human development

Live from the vendor floor at SpiritFest USA in Virginia Beach, Will and Karen catch an unplanned conversation that turns out to be one of the most useful of the day.

Their guest never meant to be on the show, she just wandered in to check out the booths. But somewhere between talking about neuro-spicy sensory overload and a windshield-shattering road story, she lays out the exact difference between the old "prove your powers to me" psychic culture and the mindset actually changing people's lives right now.

There's a simple exercise anyone can start tonight to stop ignoring their gut. And a line about belief that might wreck a few worldviews in the room.

Grab a coffee, and don't skip the part about the rock.

What if everything you've ever been taught about the ego has been wrong? For 3,000 years, spiritual traditions have delivered the same prescription: dissolve it, transcend it, kill it. And yet, for most people, no amount of meditation, prayer, or spiritual work has made that nagging disconnection go away.

Dr. Nickolas Martin has spent 40 years in clinical psychology watching that prescription fail, and he thinks he knows exactly why. The ego, he says, isn't the enemy. It's a patient. A licensed psychologist, author of five books, and the man who literally invented the field of Egology, Dr. Nick introduces a framework he calls Ego Medicine, and it starts with a truth that stops most people cold: you can't destroy something you don't actually understand. And according to Dr. Nick, almost nobody understands what the ego actually is.

In this episode, you'll find out why the ego has no intellect, no awareness of God, and no awareness of itself... and yet still manages to be the single biggest obstacle standing between you and the life you were designed to live. You'll hear about the three dimensions of ego energy, and why being what the world calls "a big ego" and being someone who can't feel their own feelings are actually two sides of the same broken coin. You'll also hear one idea that may quietly rearrange everything you thought you knew about spiritual healing: you were born saved.

The question Dr. Nick is asking isn't how you wake up. It's how to stop from waking yourself. 

This one hits different. Come ready.

She was 240 pounds, on 28 medications, and dying in a hospital bathroom when her heart stopped.

What she saw on the other side wasn't heaven. It wasn't a tunnel. It wasn't anything she expected.

She came back with a warning that flips everything the manifestation world tells you about "vibrating higher." And it might explain why your life isn't matching your energy, no matter how grateful you try to feel.

Press play.
This one gets weird fast, and Karen has questions nobody's ever thought to ask before.

Most people who think they're listening to their intuition are actually replaying an old survival pattern. The difference matters more than you think, and once you understand it, you can't un-see it.
 
Laura Day is a New York Times bestselling author and one of the most respected intuition consultants in the world. For over 40 years she has worked with billion-dollar companies, Fortune 100 executives, and some of the most recognizable names in Hollywood. Her new book, The Prism: Seven Steps to Heal Your Past and Transform Your Future, is the framework she spent decades building. and surviving. to finally put on paper.
 
In this conversation, Laura breaks down why smart, self-aware people keep repeating the same patterns, why healing requires rebuilding rather than just understanding, and why getting what you want is actually the first step in the process. not the reward at the end of it.
 
In this episode:

• Why intuition and anxiety feel similar but work completely differently, and the one question that instantly tells you which one you're dealing with
• The reason you keep attracting the same relationships, the same dynamics, and the same outcomes. even when you know better
• What Laura means when she says "you cannot think outside the box because you are the box"
• How the first seven years of your life built the structure that is quietly running your adult decisions
• Why insight alone. no matter how much therapy, journaling, or inner work you've done. won't change the structure underneath
• The practical, non-mystical case for intuition. backed by a Nobel Laureate

Laura doesn't ask you to believe anything. She asks you to run the experiment and see what happens. 

About Laura Day
Laura Day is the author of seven books including the New York Times bestseller Practical Intuition. She has consulted for Fortune 100 companies, top talent agencies, and major legal teams, and has been featured on The Oprah Winfrey Show, Good Morning America, The View, CNN, ABC News, and the TODAY Show. Her newest book, The Prism, is available now wherever books are sold.

What if your intuition has been trying to talk to you your entire life. and you just never learned how to listen?
 
In this episode, we sit down with Dallisa Hocking, a 5th generation psychic medium, educator, and founder of Spirit & Spark, for a conversation that turns the entire psychic world on its head. Because unlike most people in her field, Dallisa is not here to tell you what's coming. Her whole mission is teaching you how to develop your own psychic abilities so you never have to outsource your inner knowing to anyone again.
 
What she calls "inner literacy" ...the ability to trust your own perception, recognize patterns, and navigate life from within... is not a gift reserved for a lucky few. It is a practical, learnable skill. And in this episode, she shows you exactly how to start building it. 

We cover a lot of ground. Dallisa shares the overnight spiritual awakening in 2015 that flipped her life from dating coach to 5th generation psychic medium, why clairsentience may be the most common and most misunderstood psychic ability, how to raise your vibration in 30 days using nothing more than meditation and morning pages, the difference between genuine intuition and fear dressed up as a gut feeling, how to set psychic hygiene boundaries so spirit is not waking you up at 3am, what recurring dreams are really trying to tell you, and the premonition she posted to Instagram days before a fatal helicopter and airplane collision in Washington DC.
 
She also takes live audience questions from around the world. and answers a few things for Will and Karen that had us both a little speechless.
 
If you have ever been told you are too sensitive, struggled to trust your own inner guidance, or wondered whether your psychic abilities are real, this one was made for you. 

This episode is part of our ongoing exploration of consciousness, spiritual awakening, and the science of the unexplained. If you are new here, welcome. This is exactly what we do.

What if your spiritual awakening wasn't meant to find you...but to break you? Dr. Amy Robbins, a clinical psychologist with 20 years of practice, received an after-death communication after her aunt passed that shattered her worldview. In this episode, she reveals how life after death experiences rewired her understanding of soul purpose, why chasing enlightenment keeps you stuck, and what actually triggers transformation. A pragmatic guide to spiritual awakening that doesn't require you to abandon science.

__________________________________

What if the very thing that broke you open was the point all along? That's the question sitting at the heart of this conversation with Dr. Amy Robbins, a clinical psychologist with nearly two decades in private practice who had her world quietly flipped inside out by something she couldn't explain away.

When her aunt passed unexpectedly, Dr. Amy received what she now understands was an after-death communication... specific, verifiable, and impossible to dismiss. What followed was a years-long journey that eventually led her to ask a question most therapists won't touch: what if we've been treating people without accounting for the most important part of them?

In this episode, Will and Karen sit down with Dr. Amy to explore what happens when science and spirit stop pretending they don't know each other.

Here's what you'll hear in this conversation:
The story of the ring. Dr. Amy describes giving a reading where she saw a specific ring with a blue stone, only for the sitter's husband to receive that exact ring from his mother two days later. the ring his late father had secretly wanted him to have.

Why "psyche" literally means soul, and how modern psychology quietly forgot that. Dr. Amy makes the case that the field didn't just drift from its roots. it left the whole person behind.

Purpose vs. essence, and why most of us are chasing the wrong thing. If you've ever felt vaguely unfulfilled despite checking all the right boxes, this reframe will stop you cold.

Why 60 to 70% of people say spirituality was central to their healing, but only 5% of therapists are trained to address it. That's a Harvard statistic, and it explains a lot about why so many people feel like their therapy sessions are missing something.

What Spiritually Informed Therapy actually looks like in a session. including what Dr. Amy does when a client's deceased loved one shows up in the room.

Will's surprisingly honest confession about why readings never seem to land for him. and Dr. Amy's gentle, slightly therapist-y response that had Karen stifling a laugh next to him.

Whether you're someone who has sat in a therapist's chair and felt like something important was left out, or someone who has had an experience you couldn't explain and had nowhere to take it, this episode is for you.

Dr. Amy Robbins is a Clinical Psychologist, Director of Mental Health at BIÂN wellness club in Chicago, and the creator of Spiritually Informed Therapy. Her podcast, Life, Death, and the Space Between, has over 2 million downloads and counting.

Hey there, we wanna tell you about someone  we believe belongs in your world. His name is John Novello, Grammy-affiliated jazz pianist, Billboard number one artist, and the man who saved his future wife's life before 9/11 with nothing but a feeling he refused to ignore.

Now, John spent six decades mastering one of the most technically demanding instruments in music, and somewhere along the way, he built an equally precise framework for something most people leave entirely to chance: how to actually hear the intelligence that has been organizing your life all along.

He calls it the Invisible Architect. And here's what makes John different. He doesn't ask you to become more. He says you need to align more. You are not broken. You are not behind. You are simply out of alignment with a power that was already generating everything you needed.

John works with a select number of clients through his Elite Perfect Life Mentoring program using the Invisible Architect Alignment Protocol.   Five stages, real mechanics, a private one-on-one experience with someone who has lived this framework across seven decades of genuine proof.

And the book is also there. He calls it The Blueprint.

Go to johnnovelloauthor.com to find everything, and if you feel the resonance, book a private alignment conversation directly at go.johnnovelloauthor.com/booking.

The life that was always waiting for you is still waiting. So what are you waiting for? Do it now!

What if the feeling you keep talking yourself out of is the most reliable thing about you? Today's guest has been listening to a voice most people would have dismissed, medicated, or kept very quiet about. Instead, he followed it for seven decades through a Grammy, a Billboard number one, and a 30-year run with one of the most celebrated trios in jazz history.

He also followed it on the morning of September 11th, 2001, when it told him something was very wrong with a flight his girlfriend was about to board.

She canceled.

The flight was American Airlines 77.

It hit the Pentagon.

But that's not even the most extraordinary thing John Novello tells us today. In this conversation, we go places most interviewers never take him. We find out what it actually felt like to roll out of his body, see himself lying in bed, and watch his dog flee in terror. We find out what he saw when he floated through the roof and kept going. We find out what his late wife said to him when he found her, and why she sent him back. We also find out why he's lost two wives to the other side. and what one of them said when he visited her there too.

Along the way, John breaks down exactly why the Law of Attraction keeps failing people, what the real difference is between being the power and distributing it, and what it means to actually recruit the Invisible Architect into your life rather than just affirm your way into disappointment.

This one goes deep. And somehow, it still ends with a Maxwell House joke.

What if healing didn't require a diagnosis, a pill, or even leaving your house? Will and Karen sit down with Terri Bowden, Guardian of the Virginia Beach Harmonic Egg, during Day 2 of SpiritFest USA, and the conversation quickly goes somewhere unexpected.

The Harmonic Egg is a wooden, egg-shaped chamber that uses precisely calibrated light and sound frequencies to work on the body from the inside out. But here's what most people don't know: your session doesn't end when you step out. The egg continues working on you for five full days, whether you're across town or across the ocean.

Clients in Kuwait, Italy, and Australia have felt the energy arrive remotely. Karen shares her own remarkable story of coming in post-COVID and leaving with a 104-degree fever she could barely feel, only to wake up the next morning feeling completely transformed. Terri walks Will and Karen through the range of conditions the egg has helped address, from PTSD and anxiety to cancer and chronic pain, often treating multiple issues within a single 50-minute session.

And it's not just for people. Remote animal sessions using photographs have helped dogs with cysts, cats with grief, and pets with anxiety.

Hunter, we're looking at you.

Then the conversation takes a turn into something even more surprising: each egg has its own name and its own consciousness. Terri shares the story of how Anna, the Virginia Beach egg, revealed her identity through a client who had no prior knowledge of her nickname. It's the kind of moment that makes you rethink what "alive" actually means.

If you've been curious about the Harmonic Egg, this is your introduction. If you've already experienced it, you already know.

The deeper you go into psychic and energy work, the more sensitive you become, not less. If you're building a spiritual practice or just trying to understand why doing this work keeps leaving you wrecked, this episode is the one you didn't know you needed.

About This Episode
Rachel White spent nearly two decades as a Senior Vice President at a global corporation, quietly doing tarot readings out of her Chicago apartment on weekends. Today she runs TOTEM Readings in Austin, TX, serves thousands of clients worldwide, and just published The Business of Woo, a pragmatic field guide for anyone trying to build a legitimate, client-facing spiritual practice without the toxic positivity or the grift.

What makes Rachel's perspective genuinely rare is this: she doesn't just practice energy healing and psychic work at a high level... she spent 20 years in corporate strategy before doing it full time. The result is one of the sharpest, funniest, and most grounded conversations we've had about the intersection of psychic abilities, modern spirituality, and what it actually costs to build something real around both.

What You'll Hear in This Episode

• Why developing your psychic abilities doesn't make you more protected over time. it makes you more permeable, and what that means for your daily life, your sleep, and your practice
• The single biggest mistake new practitioners make before they ever take a first paying client, and why your enthusiastic friends are not a market validation strategy
• Why the Business of Woo is a $38 billion industry that is actively maturing, and what that means for anyone with a spiritual side hustle right now
• The pricing framework Rachel uses with her own mentoring clients, including why charging too much is often a red flag, not a signal of quality
• What Rachel calls "the fake exorcism." A case study from her real practice that reveals exactly how fear-based manipulation works in the woo space, and how to spot it before it costs someone $10,000
• Why she tells herself out loud, several nights a week, that she will not leave her body in her sleep, and what that has to do with running a sustainable spiritual practice
• Why social media is structured more like a Ponzi scheme than a marketing channel, and what actually converts spiritual seekers into paying clients
• The one business move that outperforms Instagram, retreats, and online courses every single time

The Bottom Line
If you've felt drained, overstimulated, or emotionally gutted after doing spiritual or energy work for others, you're not doing it wrong... you're doing it right, and nobody warned you what comes next. Rachel did the hard work of figuring that out over sixteen years so you don't have to start from scratch.

Listen, then tell us: Are you in the woo business, thinking about it, or just watching from a curious distance? Drop a comment or find us on social. We want to hear where you are on the path.

What if the most rigorous scientific training in the world didn't make you less spiritual. it made you more? That's exactly what happened to Dr. Theresa Bullard-Whyke. She earned her PhD in physics, spent years immersed in quantum mechanics and astrophysics, and came out the other side more convinced than ever that science and metaphysics aren't opposites. They're describing the same thing from different angles.

This is one of our all-time favorite conversations, and we're bringing it back because it hits different every time.

In this classic episode, Dr. Theresa walks us through her extraordinary journey from burned-out grad student to internationally recognized teacher at the intersection of quantum physics, Kabbalah, alchemy, and the Modern Mystery School. She's also the host of Mystery Teachings on Gaia TV, and she has a gift for making the most esoteric ideas feel grounded, practical, and deeply relevant to your everyday life. We get into some genuinely big territory here.

What you'll hear in this episode:

• Why a world-class physicist ended up depressed mid-PhD. and what pulled her out of it
• What Kabbalah actually is (hint: it predates the religion it's most associated with), and why she sees it as a map for everything
• Her definition of God. and why it has nothing to do with a judgmental figure on a cloud
• The ancient hermetic teaching that explains why we're here as physical and spiritual beings simultaneously
• Why the Mystery School tradition doesn't believe in reincarnation. and the surprisingly compelling alternative model
• The danger of "chasing the dragon" in New Age spirituality. and what to pursue instead
• How thin-slicing (a proven neuroscience concept) is actually just your intuition operating at 85% accuracy
• What clairsentience is and why it may be the highest form of psychic ability
• The one simple daily practice Dr. Theresa recommends if you're just starting out

Will also gets called out. hard. for his obsession with astral projection as a proof mechanism, and Dr. Theresa's response genuinely changed how he thinks about the whole pursuit. That exchange alone is worth the listen. If you've ever felt like you need hard evidence before you can trust what you're sensing, this episode is for you.

What if the story you've been telling about your past is keeping you stuck in the wrong timeline...and you have the power to rewrite it right now? In this episode, we sit down with Steven Fischer, the human channeler behind Jadon Se, a Cosmic Golden Dragon from what he describes as the Third Arc of Consciousness.

Steven is one half of an anonymous couple living near Mount Shasta, California, who together have produced nearly 180 free channeled messages, a seven-part Golden Codes workshop series, a physical oracle deck, and a companion app...all on a donation model, on purpose.

What starts as a conversation about dragons quickly becomes one of the most practically useful episodes we've recorded. Jadon Se joins us live during the conversation, and what he shares about timelines, victimhood, worthiness, and the true treasure that dragons actually guard will stay with you long after this episode ends.

In this episode:

• How a phone glitching inside a Stargate at 3:33am led Steven to his partner, his purpose, and a golden dragon
• What the Three Arcs of Consciousness actually are, and which one humanity is currently operating in
• Why your past is not fixed, and how reframing a single childhood memory can shift your entire timeline
• The step-by-step process Jadon Se teaches for conscious timeline jumping
• What dragons actually guard, and why it has nothing to do with gold
• How Steven and his partner Stephanie channel together, and what happens when they disagree on what came through
• Why discernment is the most important skill you can develop right now as we enter the Golden Age

What if the reason you can't figure it out is the point? In this bonus LIVE episode, Will and Karen pull back the curtain on one of those rare, unscripted conversations that reminds you why you found this show in the first place. It starts with a meditation download Karen received at the symphony... yes, the symphony... and spirals into one of the most honest and wide-ranging discussions they've had in a long time.

They cover:
The Download. Karen meditates at a Mother's Day symphony performance and receives what she can only describe as a fractal of infinite consciousness expanding in every direction. The message? Stop trying to comprehend what you were never built to comprehend.

Disclosure and the UFO question. Are the crafts physical or interdimensional? Did we already recover bodies at crash sites? And is Hollywood quietly preparing us for something? 

Will references the Light, Sound & Frequency podcast and the Dark Skies origin story that may make you look at your movie queue differently.

The fear machine. Will draws on his years inside mainstream news to explain exactly how the "if it bleeds, it leads" mindset works, and why fear isn't just a side effect of the media. it's the product.

Love as the antidote. Karen shares a late-night breakthrough conversation that left her overwhelmed by what love actually feels like when you let it build. Will follows with a revelation from Robert Monroe's Far Journeys... what we call love in the 3D world may be a pale shadow of what it actually is.

How to hold on right now. The energies are rough... they both say it plainly. This segment is a direct message to anyone who's been feeling it: you're not imagining it, and you don't have to white-knuckle it alone.

Plus... they announce a very special upcoming LIVE guest: a psychic joining them on the second Tuesday in June to answer your questions live. Send yours in now.

You've meditated. You've journaled. You've done the work. So why do you still feel stuck? If that question hits a nerve, this episode is for you. Master Mingtong Gu has a clear and somewhat unsettling answer, and it has nothing to do with your mindset.

About This Episode
Master Mingtong Gu trained at a real hospital in China where the only prescription was energy, no medicine, no surgery, no supplements, just Qigong practice, all day, every day. The results were documented. The patients were real. And the conditions being healed were the kind conventional medicine had already given up on. In this conversation, Will and Karen sit down with Master Gu to explore what Wisdom Healing Qigong actually is, why most of us are spiritually "trying" from the neck up while completely bypassing the body, and what that disconnect costs us in an age increasingly dominated by AI. His core argument is simple and hard to shake: the gap between knowing something and actually living it doesn't live in your mind. It lives in your body.

What You'll Discover

• Why "incurable" is a statement about a doctor's limits, not yours, and what Master Gu says that means for your healing
• The two patterns of energy that explain chronic stress, anxiety, and physical tension in one framework, and why "negative energy" might be the wrong lens entirely
• What 8 to 10 hours of daily Qigong practice at the medicine-less hospital actually looked like, and why the intensity mattered
• The surprising reason group practice produces results that solo practice can't replicate, including what a 30-day energy measurement study found
• Why the AI conversation isn't just about technology. it's about whether we're choosing to remain human
• A short embodiment practice Master Gu leads mid-episode that you can do right now, hands on chest, no experience required

This Episode Hits Differently If... You've explored meditation, energy healing, or spiritual awakening and still feel a gap between the concept and the actual lived experience. Master Gu doesn't offer another belief system. He offers a way back into your body, where he says the real work, and the real medicine, has been waiting all along. Listen. Then sit with it.
