In a world where speaking your truth gets you canceled and political differences divide, this conversation refuses to play it safe. I sit down with Corbie Mitleid—Certified Tarot Master, psychic medium, past life specialist, and non-denominational minister—for the kind of raw, honest dialogue that's become almost forbidden. We don't agree on everything. But we talk about everything —religion vs. s...

She vacuumed the living room. Spotless. But when she walked back in? Coins covered the floor—all dated 2020, the year her son died. Then it happened again in the shower. More coins. This time stamped with the year he was born. Coincidence? Not even close. What Bethany Shelton discovered next shattered everything she thought she knew about death—and proved that the people we love never really leave...

Some days test you in ways you never expect. This was one of those days. I woke up in Italy to a "Cease and Desist" letter in my inbox. Apparently, "Transcending Trauma" is a trademarked name in the US and Australia, and I had ten days to stop using it or face legal action. In the past, this would have sent me into a complete spiral—playing the victim, asking "why does this shit always happen to m...

After my conversation with Jack Sorenson, something he said kept echoing: the moment you realize life is leading you instead of the other way around. That phrase unlocked something I'd been noticing since I started traveling full-time in 2025. In April, when I began pet and house sitting, I met woman after woman—mostly in their thirties and forties—trapped in this exact paradigm. Miserable. Burned...

Have you ever met someone whose energy was so fantastic that you knew you were in store for a great conversation? That was Jack Sorenson. It was hard to believe that the man whose bio I'd read—battling alcoholism, binge eating, carrying 80 extra pounds—was the same vibrant, grounded person sitting on the other side of the camera. My conversation with Jack hit me hard—in the best way possible. I fo...

No one can speak to this subject better than someone who has experienced the drugs firsthand, as my guest i...

Cristiano Colla, from Palma, Italy, rated his childhood a 4 out of 5. The reality? Tremendous trauma. A mother who told him he was never wanted. Dreams of being a professional footballer (soccer) disappearing without explanation. Unresolved pain that led him to use sex as a vice—addiction that left him broken. When traditional therapy and hypnotherapy weren't enough, Cristiano turned to Ayahuasca....

Soreya James woke up at 4 am from New Zealand to have a conversation that Spirit completely redirected. Instead of diving into her childhood, we started where she is now—in her 50s, being called to stop, go deep within, and find acceptance of this season of life. A time to soften: the heart, the mind, the body. What emerged was profound. Soreya, a retreat leader, teacher trainer, author, and traum...

In this raw and transformative conversation, Kevin shares how crushing expectations...

Most cult stories are told from the outside looking in. This one comes from the throne itself. Andrew-Ryan Profaci didn't stumble into the Love Has Won cult—he helped lead it. As "Father God" alongside the notorious "Mother God" Amy Carlson, he knew the inner workings more intimately than anyone who's still alive to talk about it.
