Check out is art here-  (and as always...thanks  for being here!) *https://www.briancmears.com/ Instagram:  Briancmears Everything changed the moment my old life fell apart—and the teacher who kept reminding me “you’ve got this” finally sat down to talk. Meet Brian C. Mears: acupuncturist,...

Send us Fan Mail A single image threads our conversation together: tears as water. Not waste, not weakness—water. From the shock of losing a mother in childhood to the exhausting logistics of a parent’s dementia, we walk through memories that could have hardened into armor and instead became soil. Along the way, a monk’s unexpected clarity reframed everything: when roots are severed, don’t mend th...

Send us Fan Mail What if the most powerful medicine isn’t advice, but presence? We dive into the quiet force of being truly seen—how a loving witness softens the body, regulates the nervous system, and lets frozen emotion finally move. Instead of trying to “let it go,” we practice “let it be seen,” exploring why a clean mirror heals more than a quick fix ever could. I share the early imprints that...

Send us Fan Mail A friend asked the question we’ve been hearing for years: what do healers actually see, and how do you live with gifts when real life still needs you? So we brought in our first guest, Kris Schooler—co-founder of Wild Souls Yoga, soul coach, Reiki master, author—to explore the messy, luminous middle between awakening and everyday life. Her path started with illness, stacked prescr...

Send us Fan Mail What happens when you finally break free from a narcissistic relationship? The magical transformation from caterpillar to butterfly isn't the neat, tidy process we're sold in spiritual teachings. That "goo" phase lasts much longer than expected—and it's a messy, disorienting experience that can feel endless. Julie Nguyen opens up about her personal journey...

Send us Fan Mail "The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are." Carl Jung's profound words frame this intimate exploration of authentic self-discovery after years of narcissistic control and gaslighting. When you're constantly told who you are—that you're crazy, unlikable, or wacky—you begin wearing these energetic patterns like a wardrobe. The slow, beautif...

Send us Fan Mail Pause. Breathe. Remember who you are. This guided meditation episode takes you on a journey from your third eye to your heart space, creating a powerful circuit of awareness that anchors you firmly in the present moment. Julie Nguyen offers a practice that's both simple and profound—a way to cut through the noise of everyday life and reconnect with your essential nature. What...

Send us Fan Mail What happens when your life completely falls apart, stripping away your career, identity, and sense of worth? In my eight-year "spiritual shit show," I experienced exactly this—a complete dismantling followed by a surprising rebirth centered not on hustle and perfection, but on play and joy. The comeback story I share today isn't what you might expect. After years o...

Send us Fan Mail Remember when vulnerability wasn't just a buzzword but a practice? When reading someone's blog felt like an intimate glimpse into their beautifully imperfect life? That raw honesty seems to have disappeared behind the polished veneer of social media perfection. Autumn brings a powerful invitation to purge both our physical and energetic closets. What stories, beliefs, an...

Send us Fan Mail Something profound is happening. Can you feel it? Your cells are remembering, your energy is shifting, and there's a deep calling to stop the endless cycle of busyness that keeps you disconnected from your truth. The message coming through is clear and urgent: half the stuff you're doing doesn't even matter. It's just motion for motion's sake, conditioning...

Send us Fan Mail Embarking on a journey of authentic expression isn't about finding the perfect brand name—it's about discovering what gives you permission to be fully yourself. That's the revelation that transformed my path from Energetic Movement Collective to Guided Towards Greatness, then Spiritual Shit Show, and now to Numinous Wisdom. The awakening process is inherently messy....

Send us Fan Mail Have you ever noticed how deeply uncomfortable stillness can be? That moment when you stop "doing" and your mind floods with questions about your worth and productivity? You're not alone. The spiritual journey isn't about hustling harder but about finding the courage to be still. Like panning for gold, we must patiently sift through mental debris until we uncov...

Send us Fan Mail The moment I shifted from seeing my journey as "healing" to "becoming," everything changed. Healing implied I was broken and needed fixing, but becoming? That's about remembering who I've always been beneath the layers of protection. For years, I thrived in the competitive dance world—a realm beautiful in its artistry yet often fueled by ego and trans...

Send us Fan Mail Have you ever reached a point in your healing journey where the constant drive to achieve, prove yourself, and build an identity suddenly feels... optional? That's exactly where I found myself recently, experiencing what can only be described as an ego death while simultaneously enjoying the unfamiliar comfort of a regulated nervous system. This episode takes you through my p...

Send us Fan Mail Have you ever reached a point in your healing journey where you suddenly don't recognize yourself anymore—but in the best possible way? That strange, uncomfortable, yet somehow freeing space is exactly what I'm exploring in this raw and intimate episode about the art of becoming. After completing a nine-month soul-based, trauma-informed somatic therapy course, I found my...

Send us Fan Mail Ever notice how we complicate manifestation, turning it into a series of rigid techniques?

Send us Fan Mail Shame, trauma, and childhood stories shape us in profound ways, but they don't have to define us. This deeply personal exploration reveals how our earliest experiences become the architecture of our subconscious minds, creating patterns that silently influence everything from our relationships to our sense of possibility. Your brain forms its core beliefs based on repetition...

Send us Fan Mail Have you ever felt your entire life unraveling, everything you thought you knew about yourself dissolving before your eyes?

My healing has felt like untangling knotted yarn – painstaking, frustrating, and seemingly endle...

Send us Fan Mail When your own family doesn’t feel like home, the pain is hard to name and even harder to explain. I’m sharing what I’ve been moving through with family estrangement, the quiet grief of not being fully seen, and why that longing can feel so intense in your body. Belonging isn’t just an emotion, it’s biology, and when early connection is strained or unsafe, your nervous system keeps...

Send us Fan Mail Why doesn't a psychic want to give you predictions? In this deeply personal episode, I pull back the curtain on why sometimes the most compassionate thing I can do is withhold psychic information – even when that's exactly what you think you want. Drawing from my own painful experience with a prediction that didn't materialize when expected, I share how being told I...
