The Other Side of Fear explores thought provoking stories about the types of fears that are triggered by our individual insecurities, conditioning, traumas and the disconnectedness we've all experienced on some level. We examine the role of societal conventions and how they function as a strong determinant, in how we often choose to address our most personal struggles.
Our guests discuss how they navigate through various challenges, while taking ownership of their true desires. Giving you a gentle push, to live in a way that honours your authenticity. With a heart-centered approach, we contemplate the state of the subconscious and how it shapes the way we show up in the world. Essentially, to question and to make sense of the things we don't know and the things we think we know.
What does life look like for you when you can lean in, move through and beyond your fears and into your purpose?
Are you ready to unlearn and undo the old programs and reconnect with your truth? What does it mean to be in alignment with your SOUL purpose?

- The different dream types, realms and their influence.
- Soul remembrance and breaking trance with light language frequency and crystalline energy.
- The Akashic Records as a whole-life tool that can help in tapping into personal success and joy.
Akashic Records channeller, Amy Robeson, speaks about a more grounded path while using the Records as a whole-life tool for joy, clarity, and aligned action. Amy opens up about her difficult childhood, prophetic dreams, her journeys into the "hell realms", and the teachers who helped her recognize she’d been in the Records long before she had a name for it. Together we unpack the difference between subconscious dreams, prophetic glimpses, and realm exploration—and why anchoring in the body, on Earth, through the heart, is non-negotiable.
We dive into practical ways the Records can shift stubborn patterns: money blocks that mask worthiness wounds, relationship loops shaped by ancestral scripts, and career indecision tangled in fear of visibility. Amy explains how ancestral lineage can be blood or not, and how soul lineage—spanning human and non-human lifetimes—influences the families and lessons we choose. Her core message is empowering: ask better questions, trust what you receive, and translate guidance into action. Healing becomes re-perceiving, not re-living.
A live reading brings this home, touching on a near-death experience, the role of remembrance, and the potency of light language—the soul’s frequency-based expression that helps “break trance” from old programs.

A Reintroduction to The Womb with Psychedelic Mushrooms | with Leslie Draffin
- How Psychedelics can help uncover deep-seated trauma and emotional pain.
- Signs of Trauma in the womb: numbness, pain, irregular cycles, endo, PCOS.
- New ways of Cycle syncing for non-bleeding women & External vulva touch and gradual internal dearmoring as release.
Certified Trauma-Informed Somatic Practitioner and Womb Mystic, Leslie Draffin wants to remind women that our bodies already know the way back to wholeness (acknowledging that we are already whole, we just need to reclaim it) —and all you need is a system to support that. We explore how micro-dosing psilocybin, nervous system work, and cycle syncing help women move from numb, disconnected and overthinking to grounded, clear, and self-led. Cosigning equal doses of science backed work, with spiritually-"the woo".
As an adopted, preacher's daughter, who contracted herpes during early sexual experiences, she openly discusses her personal experience with the feeling of being disconnected from her body, and the shame and disdain she felt about herself- highlighting that trauma and emotional pain often gets stored in the womb. She speaks on the prevailing feeling of needing to do everything “right”, in the Western model, and yet, still feeling stuck. She shares a powerful turning point: invoking the mother archetype during a guided journey, confronting grief, leaving a 15-year career, and choosing sobriety. Highlighting that you can transition from the maiden to the mother archetype without having children.
- Karma is not punishment but a system for soul growth through experience.
- Relationships serve as mirrors reflecting aspects of ourselves we need to see and heal. We are here to learn through our emotions.
- Our physical symptoms are messages pointing to deeper imbalances.
Jennifer and Darryl share their spiritual practice, combining psychic abilities with therapeutic techniques to help people heal deep patterns. Their approach addresses not just symptoms but the root causes of issues—often tracing them back to ancestral wounds, past life influences, or energetic imbalances.
The couple explains how our subconscious minds operate like computers, creating programs based on early experiences that then attract matching circumstances into our lives. "Everything in life is vibration and frequency," Daryl explains. "What's showing up in your life is very much a mirror of your own consciousness." This perspective transforms challenges from random occurrences into meaningful feedback about our inner state.
They make notable mention on how today's society shows dangerous imbalance between masculine and feminine energies, and warn that our current societal imbalance—where feminine energy is undervalued—could have serious consequences for future generations. Which perfectly puts into context, Jennifer being healed from uterine cancer through spiritual guidance and energy work, after many years of denying her feminine essence.
Whether you're struggling with recurring patterns, seeking deeper meaning in life's challenges, experiencing your own spiritual awakening or simply curious about the unseen dimensions of existence, this episode offers powerful insights to help you connect with your true nature and awaken your full potential. As Jennifer beautifully puts it: "To know and not to feel is not to really know."

Activating Your Infinite Potential & Mastering Quantum Creation | with Diana Divine
- We all volunteered to be here now to usher in new earth reality.
- The middle path involves integrating both light and shadow aspects
- The Quantum field is the invisible force and energy behind everything that we can co-create with.
Diana shares profound wisdom from her 20-year spiritual journey, exploring the vast quantum potential we all possess as multidimensional beings and highlighting the importance of embracing both light and shadow for spiritual growth. "We are full spectrum beings," she explains, challenging the tendency toward bypassing difficult emotions. Diana advocates for walking the middle path—integrating our full experience while maintaining a heart "lighter than a feather."
Speaking on quantum creation, Diana breaks down how we can harness the quantum field to manifest our desires through clear intention, emotional coherence, and surrender. Most compelling is Diana’s personal transformation from what she calls "the Scorpion to the Phoenix"—a journey through darkness into expanded perspective and ultimately resurrection. Her experiences living through conflict in Israel and later finding compassion through understanding multiple perspectives, demonstrates how stepping outside familiar environments often catalyzes profound growth.
As we navigate increasingly complex times, Diana’s message reminds us that we chose to be here, to experience earth in this moment to support the incoming timeline, while urging us to lead with our hearts and to trust.
- The Akashic Records are a library, containing all the information about a soul's past, present, and potential future lifetimes.
- Our current life is just a "thin slice" of our soul's complete journey.
- Souls choose different experiences across lifetimes to learn and evolve.
Ever wonder if your life's challenges have a deeper purpose? Kanika Vasudeva's journey from corporate engineer to spiritual healer might forever change how you view your struggles.
Devastated by the stillbirth of her daughter, Kanika found herself questioning everything. What began as desperate grief evolved into a profound spiritual awakening when she discovered her daughter came with a soul contract - to wake her up when she was "wasting her life". Through accessing the Akashic Records, Kanika uncovered that this seemingly tragic event was actually part of a sacred agreement between souls.
'Imagine your soul as a whole apple and each lifetime as just one paper-thin slice'. Through this lens, recurring patterns like toxic relationships or family wounds suddenly make sense as karmic lessons your soul chose to face.
Whether you're healing from loss, questioning your purpose, or simply curious about the deeper nature of reality, this episode offers both practical wisdom and profound spiritual insight. The conversation culminates in a beautiful reminder that from a soul perspective, there is no judgment - only experience and evolution.

- Our core purpose often resonates with us from a young age, but life's layers and societal expectations can obscure it.
An extraordinary conversation with Dr. Joshua Caraballo, an industrial organizational psychologist whose life story defies simple categorization. As a cisgendered, gay Puerto Rican cancer survivor, who grew up in a Jehovah's Witness household, Dr. Josh shares how multiple intersecting identities shaped his understanding of purpose and acceptance.
The discussion traverses deeply personal terrain, from Dr. Josh's earliest memories of attraction to the devastating stage-four Hodgkin's lymphoma diagnosis he received at just 18 years old. Most poignantly, he reveals how this diagnosis initially reinforced internalized religious guilt—"God had just punished me"—before eventually catalyzing profound spiritual growth. These experiences form the backbone of his memoir, aptly titled "I'm Not Dead Yet…”
What distinguishes this conversation is Dr. Josh's practical wisdom for cultivating resilience. He introduces listeners to the PERMA-V framework for mental wellbeing: Positive emotion, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, Achievement, and Vitality. This multi-dimensional approach acknowledges healing isn't linear but requires continuous self-awareness and acceptance.

What if the patterns in your current life—your career struggles, relationship dynamics, and deepest fears—are echoes from lives you've lived before?
In this extraordinary episode, I sit down with Akashic Record reader Bree Delacruz, for a live personal reading that takes unexpected turns and reveals profound insights. Bree channels information from my own Akashic Records, unveiling a past life as an Arctic provider that directly connects to my present financial concerns and career path uncertainties. The reading validates what my intuition has been whispering all along: my path forward requires trusting my gut over conventional wisdom.
Perhaps most surprising is when a recently transitioned family member appears as part of my spirit team, offering loving guidance about a complex relationship situation. Bree reveals that this relationship stems from multiple past lives—once as spouses in a tumultuous marriage in Europe, and once as twins sharing a womb—explaining our powerful connection despite romantic incompatibility. This perspective offers a framework for understanding why certain bonds feel intensely familiar yet challenging.
We conclude with a powerful discussion about collective consciousness and humanity's current evolutionary shift toward personal sovereignty and inner guidance. Whether you're curious about the Akashic Records, seeking to understand relationship patterns, or wondering about your soul's journey, this episode offers valuable insights about accessing your own inner wisdom.

- Follow your fear. It is usually pointing you in the right direction.
- Cancer can be linked to repressed emotions and unresolved issues.
What happens when we finally listen to the wisdom of our bodies? For Pooja Bakhai, it meant walking away from a prestigious Harvard PhD program after battling stage four cancer, moving across the country on intuition alone, and eventually finding herself in the Amazon rainforest on a profound healing journey, after having a conversation with a tree, on a beach, while in Mexico.
This conversation is a masterclass in authentic living. Pooja shares how, despite completing most of her doctoral work, she couldn't even open her research files – a clear sign her path needed to change. Touching on her journey with plant medicine, she shares how this experience helped her recover repressed memories of childhood sexual abuse – memories her body had been holding onto for decades, manifesting as physical illness. She shares her beautiful poetry about "The Divine Feminine Creatrix Codes", reflecting the wisdom she gained about honouring our bodies and their natural cycles.
Pooja concludes by telling us how her new relationship with fear, has supported her through processing grief, and recently taking the brave step of reporting her abusers to authorities – all part of releasing stagnant energy that often manifests as dis-ease.

Psychic Medium Reveals: What We Need to Survive 2025... | with Laura Hoorweg
- There is no such thing as death. Physical death is merely a transition where we expand beyond our physical body's limitations.
- The year 2025 will be particularly challenging, with conditions improving gradually through 2030.
- Water carries divine energy, which may explain why our bodies are primarily composed of it.
Spiritual Counsellor, Intuitive Coach, and Psychic Medium, Laura Hoorweg, opens our conversation with a profound truth: "We are spiritual beings having a physical experience." This statement sets the tone for a breathtaking exploration of what exists beyond physical life and how understanding this reality can transform our approach to both living and dying. Having experienced a life-changing out-of-body experience at age 15, Laura shares revelations about what happens when we cross over. She explains that death is merely a transition where we expand beyond our physical limitations, dropping the negative emotional patterns that often restricted us in earthly life. Our loved ones who have passed can actually be energetically closer to us than when they were physically present, while seeing everything from a higher perspective of love.
Laura also delivers timely wisdom for our current global challenges. Her spiritual guides have shown her that "the world will change more in the next 10 years than it has in the past 300 years." While 2025 will be particularly challenging, she emphasizes staying grounded in love rather than fear. Through daily meditation, nature connection, and creating peaceful home environments, we can navigate this transformation period with greater ease. Perhaps most powerful is Laura's message about healing: and the generational impact an individual can have by healing oneself.

- Mastery, is the state of living effortlessly, yet effectively and efficiently.
- Most of the thoughts we have are “Judging Thoughts”. We are constantly caught in the cycle of judging ourselves and others. And although we are not our thoughts, we often forget that we are the creators, and we essentially become identified with the thoughts we create. This is where we lose ourselves.
This episode explores Bob Martin's extraordinary journey from a criminal attorney- self proclaimed 'mob lawyer', to a mindfulness mentor, emphasizing the importance of reconnecting with our authentic selves.
