Feelings with Strangers

It's not often I feel nervous. I worked for many years as a photographer and met people from every stratum of society, from the wealthy and famous to the outcast and downtrodden. One thing I learnt early on is that nerves resulted in bad imagery. So when it came time for this podcast with Stephen Jenkinson, a man whose work I've followed for nearly a decade, I was nervous. It's not that Stephen is...

I had the privilege of speaking with someone whose work has profoundly shaped my own understanding of connection: Anna Breytenbach, the world-renowned interspecies communicator, conservationist, and activist. Many of you may know Anna from the viral documentary The Animal Communicator, and from the now-iconic encounter with a black leopard named Diablo — a moment that opened millions of hearts to...

What if the real source of suffering in your life isn’t your circumstances, but the quiet, constant stream of judgment you’re swimming in – of yourself, of others, of how life “should” be? In this episode, I’m joined again by Dr. Dain Heer – author, co-creator of Access Consciousness, and someone who has spent decades sitting with people in their most contracted, painful moments and helping them f...

For well over a decade, I’ve been fascinated—friends might say obsessed—with what’s truly possible for human biology, especially when it comes to longevity and ageing. Like many, I began on the mechanistic path: studying hydration, nutrition, and supplementation, endlessly experimenting, convinced that health was a formula I could optimise into perfection. But in time, I realised something deeper....

Imagine if everything you've been told about the sun is fundamentally wrong. What if mainstream medicine has led us astray, obscuring the truth about our most vital connection to life? We are, after all, sun-born beings, and every ounce of life on this planet hinges on its energy. Yet, in modern society, we often exclude it from our daily lives—and in doing so, we suffer. Our health deteriorates,...

I'm delighted to welcome Randy Veitenheimer back to the show to explore a topic that has been on my mind for some time: the disconnection from a spiritual centre and community that many in the modern world experience, and the vacuum this has left, opening the door for spiritual profiteering, shallow wisdom, and an even greater estrangement from ourselves. In this thought-provoking episode, Randy s...

I’ve been eagerly waiting to chat with Katie Hess, the brilliant mind behind Lotuswei and its transformative flower elixirs for healing and consciousness expansion.

This is one of the most enriching discussions about health I've had—not by dissecting the intricate mechanisms of health, but by exploring a deeper understanding. Despite the marketing from the ever-growing 'Health & Wellness' industry, there is nothing they can tell or sell you. The truth is, no ritual, supplement or bio hack can replace the essential communion with our bodies, and no scienti...
