After nine years, David is retiring from channeling and bringing the podcast to a close. In this last conversation, Matt joins David for an unhurried look back — on creation, the Tya Practice, and the long arc of channeling and coaching that carried the work from the first episode to this one.  No agenda, just two friends closing the loop.  Thank you for listening.

In this expansive episode of The Tya Academy Podcast, Matt Gardan joins David for a deep conversation inspired by a recent Transmission Live session discussing consciousness, reincarnation, manifestation, AI, the future of humanity, and the evolving nature of reality itself. Together, they unpack one of the most profound concepts shared by The Stream: the “eternal stack” of consciousness — the idea that every lifetime and energetic experience exists simultaneously while continuously evolving into more sophisticated versions of itself. The discussion explores:  Consciousness beyond physical death  Reincarnation vs. eternal existence  The meaning of déjà vu  Manifestation through omniappreciation  AI, robotics, and the future of human society  Why humanity may be moving beyond labor-based systems  The energetic nature of money and exchange  How appreciation transforms your experience of reality  The role of contrast in expansion  Conscious creation during times of massive change David and Matt also dive into the energetic shifts occurring globally, the disruption of traditional systems, and why this period in human history may be one of the most transformational eras humanity has ever experienced. This episode blends spirituality, philosophy, consciousness studies, manifestation, technology, and practical energetic wisdom into a conversation designed to expand perspective and inspire deeper awareness. If you’ve ever questioned reality, consciousness, manifestation, or where humanity is headed next, this episode is for you.

In this powerful and deeply honest episode of The Tya Podcast, David sits down with Ajit, a recent graduate of High Stakes Change, for a real-time exploration of transformation, awareness, and personal power. Ajit shares what it actually looks like to live the Tya teachings in the real world—not from theory, but in the middle of a current health challenge, emotional triggers, and old patterns resurfacing. What unfolds is one of the most relatable conversations on the gap between knowing and applying spiritual truth. They dive into:  Why simple truths feel so hard to live in real life  The concept of DTS (Down the Spiral) and how to move out of it faster  The “seductive pull” of negativity—and why we choose it even when we know better  A breakthrough idea: there is a real cost to being upset—and most people don’t see it The untapped healing power available to all of us (that almost no one uses)  How fear, judgment, and even mainstream narratives condition us to give away our power Why appreciation isn’t just a mindset—but a mechanism for transformationAjit also shares how his perception of joy, success, and even everyday life has shifted—from chasing outcomes to finding deep fulfillment in the smallest moments. This episode isn’t about being perfect. It’s about becoming aware.  And once you see it—you can’t unsee it.

Tya Intention Coach Matt Gardan returns to unpack the latest Stream transmission—what was offered, how it landed, and what it means to actually allow what you want to manifest rather than chase it.  Matt opens the episode with a live intention session before the conversation begins. One of the most practical episodes we’ve recorded. Join the next live Stream transmission at davidstrickel.com

Celebrating Janet Young, our final coaching program graduate. Janet was a wonderful student to close out my coaching era. Chill, fun, and fearless.  You’ll love her story and the time we spent laughing in this episode.

The old systems are cracking. Religion, government, currency, employment — none of it is holding the way it used to. And for a lot of people, the response is either blind loyalty to a collapsing structure or free-falling into a philosophical wilderness with nothing underneath them. This episode is about neither of those options. David explores what’s actually happening as the matrix contracts — why polarity is intensifying, why AI and robotics are accelerating a shift unlike anything in recorded history, and why the people who built their lives on external structures are the most exposed right now. More importantly, he talks about what holds. Not as a comfort. As a framework. Your belief system is your operating system. If you inherited it from religion, government, or the culture you were born into and never rebuilt it from the ground up — this is the moment that gets exposed. The Stream has been addressing this directly in the live transmissions. That’s where the real navigation work happens. This episode is the entry point.

Andrea Saint Amand returns to share the release of her book Ghost Light: A Rogue’s Guide on How to Break the Rules and Follow Your Inner Knowing, including a recent creative writing award and what the process taught her about writing for her people instead of writing for approval. We talk deadlines, emotional impact, burnout and recovery, and how a practice matures when you stop trying to make it palatable to the Matrix. We also explore boundaries, live events, and what it looks like to keep your output clean, coherent, and sustainable over time. Find more about Andrea here:https://andreasaintamand.com/

This episode marks a return. After a nearly year-long pause, David resumes Trance channeling Source and steps fully away from coaching, persuasion, and performance-based spirituality. What’s shared here is not teaching, motivation, or a method.It’s a clear articulation of what channeling is, why it was set aside, and why it has now become central again. You’ll hear: • Why imperfection is not a flaw but a requirement of creation • Why stress is a feature of consciousness, not something to transcend • Why most spirituality collapses under the pressure of needing to persuade • And why clarity only returns when explanation is no longer required This is not an introduction and not an invitation.It’s an orientation. If you’ve felt the exhaustion of fixing, striving, or signaling insight, this conversation will resonate.

The world feels louder, more polarized, and more volatile than ever. Fear, outrage, and judgment are no longer side effects of modern life. They are the fuel. In this episode, David Strickel explores why chaos isn’t new, why polarization is profitable, and how attention has quietly become the most valuable currency in the world. Rather than taking sides, collapsing into cynicism, or pretending nothing is happening, this conversation points to a different option: understanding without reaction. This is not about fixing the world. It’s not about optimism or denial. And it’s not about withdrawing from reality. It’s about seeing clearly how the Matrix operates, why it feeds on emotional reactivity, and how sovereignty begins the moment you stop supplying energy to what you don’t want more of. Tya is not a belief system. It’s an operating system for clarity, emotional mastery, and internal stability inside an increasingly reactive world.

Attention is the most valuable currency of our time, and most people are spending it without realizing the cost. In this episode of The Tya Podcast, David explores what sovereignty actually requires in an attention economy engineered to pull you away from yourself.  From chaos in the world to the constant pressure on your focus, identity, and nervous system, this conversation cuts through surface-level commentary and points directly to what it means to remain internally self-governed. This is not about escaping the world. It’s about operating consciously within it. If you’ve felt scattered, reactive, or overwhelmed by the current environment, this episode offers a grounded reorientation back to sovereignty.

In this episode of The Tya Podcast, David is joined by Tya Academy coach Derek Johnson for an open, grounded conversation comparing Tya and Scientology — without judgment, fear, or agenda. This is not a pro or anti episode. It’s an exploration. Together, they examine: Why Tya is often compared to ScientologyThe real similarities between detuning and auditingThe critical differences around Source, authority, and inner guidanceHow ego, hierarchy, and control can creep into spiritual systemsWhy Tya was designed as an evolving operating system for life, not a religionWhat happens when people leave rigid belief systems without a replacement structureThe role of appreciation in dissolving judgment and raising vibrationDerek brings both a scientific background and personal experience exploring Scientology, offering a rare, nuanced perspective on how spiritual systems function, evolve, and sometimes fracture. This episode is for anyone who: Has questioned religion, spirituality, or “spiritual organizations”Wants real inner freedom without external authorityIs curious about how conscious creation actually works in daily lifeFeels disillusioned with traditional belief systems but knows there’s moreTya isn’t here to replace anything.  It’s here to help you remember what’s already within you.

You’re not burned out because you’re doing too much.You’re exhausted because you’re managing yourself. In this episode of The Tya Podcast, David breaks down why so many conscious, self-aware people feel spiritually and emotionally depleted — even after years of inner work, healing, and “doing it right.” This conversation explores: Why awareness alone creates exhaustionThe hidden cost of constantly regulating yourselfHow emotional intelligence collapses under pressureThe difference between insight and embodimentWhat actually restores energy at a foundational levelIf you’ve ever thought, “I understand this… so why does it still feel hard?” This episode explains why — and what changes everything. 🎧 Listen if you’re ready for emotional intelligence that holds when life applies pressure, not just when things are calm.

Emotional intelligence isn’t about knowing what you feel.It’s about what holds when pressure is on. In this episode of The Tya Podcast, David sits down with Matt Gardan to explore why awareness alone often collapses in high-stakes moments, and what actually allows emotional intelligence to function in real life. This conversation examines the difference between insight and stability, why smart and self-aware people still spiral under pressure, and how emotional intelligence must be embodied, not conceptual, to create real change. If you’ve ever known better but reacted anyway, this episode explains why — and what actually holds.

Awareness is often praised as the key to growth — but under pressure, it’s rarely enough. In this episode of The Tya Podcast, David sits down with David Roode to explore why intelligent, self-aware people still spiral when stakes are high — and what actually creates emotional stability in real-world conditions. This conversation goes beyond insight and into regulation, speed, and structure — the elements that determine how decisions are made when pressure is real. In this episode, you’ll explore: Why awareness can accelerate dysfunction without regulationHow intelligence amplifies existing emotional systems under stressThe difference between insight and stabilityWhy emotional regulation is structural, not motivationalIf you’ve ever known better but still reacted — this episode explains why.

Self-awareness is praised as the key to growth — but what if it’s not enough to actually change your life? In this episode of The Tya Podcast, David explores why awareness alone often keeps people stuck in the same emotional patterns, despite years of insight, reflection, and personal development. You’ll discover: Why noticing your patterns doesn’t automatically dissolve themHow awareness can quietly turn into observation without movementThe missing piece that turns insight into real changeWhy intention and energetic alignment matter more than understandingThis conversation challenges one of the most widely accepted beliefs in self-help and invites you into a deeper way of living the Tya Practice — beyond knowing, and into embodiment. If you’ve ever thought, “I know better… so why am I still here?” — this episode is for you.
