Ask Your Spirit Guides: Let Your Joy Lead the Way
2026/10/20
Recently, I woke up in a funky mood. I had a list of work projects in front of me, things I usually love, and every time I moved toward one of them I felt worse. At that moment, none of it felt aligned. Then I got a ping: go upstairs and organize your closet. It was something I had been meaning to do for a while, and the idea actually excited me. As soon as I started on it, my mood lifted, and I had a joyful, productive morning.
Following that little nudge reminded me that joy isn’t a distraction from what we’re meant to do. It can be the direction.
In this episode, four beautiful souls came for guidance with very different concerns, and the same message came through for all of them: listen to what feels good, and trust it.
Key takeaways from this episode:
When you’re emotionally stirred up, guidance is hard to hear. Being present with what you feel is what clears the signal.
A fear-based choice moves you away from something. A joy-based choice moves you toward what you actually want.
There’s nothing wrong with wanting stability, but if the safe option doesn’t excite you, keep asking what does.
You don’t have to leap all at once. Honoring both the part of you that’s ready and the part that isn’t lets a big change happen in stages.
Forcing a dream doesn’t speed it up. Let it build while you learn and align.
Doing what you want isn’t selfish. It’s often exactly what the people who love you most want for you.
Quiet your mind and let your joy be your guide.

You Don’t Need to Know How It Ends
2026/10/13
What if not knowing what's going to happen is part of what makes life fun?
While watching my beloved Detroit Pistons in a playoff elimination game, I desperately wanted to know how it was going to end. So naturally, I started pulling oracle cards. The first told me I was too close to the situation and needed to step back. The second told me to calm down. By the third, the message was unmistakable: Stop trying to figure out what's going to happen. Be present.
I kept pulling cards to find out how the game would end. The cards kept telling me to put the cards down and watch the game.
In this episode, we explore why it can be so hard to sit with uncertainty, and what becomes possible when we stop trying to control how things turn out. The guides take the lesson far beyond basketball, exploring why the need to know can pull us out of the flow, and why the unknown isn't something we need to overcome. It's part of the adventure.
Key takeaways from this episode:
When we're preoccupied with what's going to happen, we can miss what's happening right now.
Presence helps us release the need to control the outcome and return to the natural flow of life.
The unknown isn't a flaw in the human experience. It's part of what makes the game exciting.
Fear of disappointment can lead us to choose what feels safe or guaranteed rather than what we truly want.
One disappointing outcome doesn't define the larger journey. The long game is always bigger than any single experience.
When something doesn't go the way we hoped, we can feel what we feel and then ask: Where do I want to go now?
You can root for your team. You can want what you want. Just don't get so caught up in how the game will end that you forget to enjoy the experience.

Mediumship Your Way with Francie Soito
2026/10/06
There is no one right way to connect with spirit.
Mediumship is a natural ability, but how we experience that connection is uniquely our own. Learning to recognize how spirit communicates with you can make all the difference.
In this episode, I sit down with psychic medium and Reiki master Francie Soito for a fascinating conversation about what mediumship actually feels like from the inside. Francie shares her unexpected journey from a self-described left-brained data scientist who didn't believe in anything woo to discovering her own ability to sense, feel, and communicate with spirit.
We talk about why communicating with spirit isn't like having a regular conversation, how different mediums receive information in completely different ways, and why understanding your own natural strengths can help you open your connection. Francie also shares practical ways to connect with loved ones in spirit, recognize the signs they're sending, and become more receptive to the messages that are already around you.
Key takeaways from this episode:
• Mediumship looks different for everyone. Some people see, some hear, some feel, and some simply know.
• Spirit communication can be subtle. Rather than expecting a clear conversation or unmistakable sign, notice the impressions, feelings, words, and images that come through.
• Start with your strongest intuitive sense. Work with what's already natural for you, while staying open to how your abilities may change and expand.
• Connecting with spirit requires surrender. You can ask a question or set an intention, but then you have to let go of your expectations and allow what wants to come through.
• Our loved ones often reach us when our minds are quiet, including when we're falling asleep, waking up, or doing familiar activities that don't require much thought.
• You can ask your loved ones for specific signs, but stay open to how they appear. If you think something is a sign and it makes you feel good, trust it.
There is no one right way to connect with spirit. Your gifts are uniquely yours, and the more you honor how they're already showing up, the more they can grow.

Spirituality and Money
2026/09/29
Abundance isn't something you chase. It's something you are.
On a recent beach walk, I got to thinking about a friend, a fairly well-known spiritual teacher who has struggled a lot around money. It got me thinking about a disconnect I see all the time: so many deeply spiritual people, tapped into spirit and doing beautiful things in the world, still experience a sense of lack around monetary abundance. So I turned the question over to the guides, and what they shared blew me away.
In this episode, we explore where the belief that spirituality and wealth don't mix comes from, why money can pull us out of the natural flow of giving and receiving, and what keeps so many of us stuck in a sense of lack. Most importantly, the guides offer a way through: a shift in how we hold money, a practice for clearing the old wounds and beliefs beneath our relationship with it, and a reminder that money is only one expression of a much larger flow of abundance already available to us.
Key takeaways from this episode:
• Spiritual connection and financial abundance are not opposites, though many of us were taught to believe they are.
• The idea of noble poverty runs through much of our spiritual history, and it still shapes how we relate to money today.
• Money is only a representation of abundance, and clinging to it can actually take us out of the flow.
• When we focus on what's missing, we stay stuck in scarcity.
• Abundance is energy, and money is just one of the forms it can take.
• Many of our beliefs about money were formed in childhood. When we bring love and awareness to these limiting beliefs, they release.
When we stop treating spirituality and abundance as opposites, both are free to flow.

Can AI Be Conscious? with Chris Niebauer
2026/09/22
AI can think. But does that mean it's conscious? My friend and returning guest Chris Niebauer is a neuropsychologist and the bestselling author of No Self, No Problem, The No Self, No Problem Workbook, and his new book, The Abstract Mind. He has spent years exploring the relationship between the brain, the thinking mind, and consciousness, which makes him the perfect person to join me for this fascinating conversation about AI.
In this episode, we explore a question that is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore: Can artificial intelligence actually be conscious? The answer may depend on something even more fundamental: whether thinking and consciousness are the same thing.Our conversation challenges the enormous value our society places on the thinking mind and considers what AI might be revealing about our own consciousness. If a machine can think faster and perhaps even better than we can, what does that tell us about who we really are? We explore consciousness as something far greater than thought, intuition as a deeper form of knowing, and what becomes possible when the mind stops running the show and becomes a tool for something greater. Key takeaways from this episode:
Thinking and consciousness are not the same thing. AI's ability to manipulate language and information doesn't necessarily answer the question of whether it is conscious.
We have spent centuries defining ourselves by our ability to think. AI may be forcing us to reconsider whether thinking is really what makes us who we are.
The thinking mind is an extraordinary tool, but we may rely on it far more than we need to.
If consciousness doesn't originate in the brain, we may need to rethink what it means for AI to be conscious.
Intuition comes from a deeper place than thought. When we quiet the thinking mind, we create more space for that deeper knowing to guide us.
The mind doesn't have to lead. It can become a tool for intuition, allowing us to move through life with greater flow, ease, and trust.
Maybe the rise of artificial intelligence isn't just asking us to understand machines differently. Maybe it's inviting us to understand ourselves differently too.Explore more of Chris Niebauer’s work on the mind, consciousness, and the science of self at ChrisNiebauerPhD.com
What if the way we think is also what keeps us stuck? Dive deeper into that idea in Chris Niebauer’s new book, The Abstract Mind:https://chrisniebauerphd.com/books/the-abstract-mind/

Are You A Medium?
2026/09/15
Is communicating with spirit reserved for a gifted few, or available to us all? Recently I came across a post from a well-respected medium pushing back on the popular idea that everyone is a medium. Her concern was a fair one: not everyone is trained to receive clear, accurate messages for other people, and treating mediumship as universal can gloss over the real skill and responsibility that professional work requires. I understand that completely. And I still believe we're all mediums.
We're all spiritual beings having a human experience, and we're all innately connected to the spiritual realm, including our loved ones in spirit. Whether you train to receive messages from spirit professionally, or simply communicate for your own edification, the ability belongs to everyone. In this episode I share my own unconventional path into mediumship, why I resisted the word for years, and why I've come to believe that integrity, love, and a genuine desire to serve matter more than proving anything or doing it someone else's way.Key takeaways from this episode:
Connection goes both ways. You can reach toward spirit, and spirit is always reaching toward you
Mediumship doesn't look the same for everyone. It might come through dreams, signs, words, feelings, or a simple knowing
We often feel blocked because we're expecting too much, or waiting for the information to arrive in a certain way. Start with what's already flowing
Stay curious and playful. Spirit isn't serious, and forcing it only gets in the way
Grief can cloud our ability to sense a loved one's presence. You're still connected even when you can't feel it
If you feel called to do this professionally, follow that call with integrity, love, and a real desire to serve
You don't have to become a medium. You already are one.

Shared Death Experiences with Scott Taylor
2026/09/08
You've probably heard of near-death experiences. But what about shared death experiences? In this episode, I sit down with Reverend Dr. Scott Taylor, president of the Expanded Awareness Institute and a researcher and guide in near-death and shared death experiences. Scott has spent decades exploring the nonphysical universe and helping others learn to access expanded states of consciousness.
Scott's journey began with an extraordinary experience at the bedside of a seven-year-old boy named Nolan. As Nolan died, Scott experienced Nolan's mother, who had died just six days earlier, coming to meet him. Scott joined them as they moved into the light, while at the same time remaining fully conscious and present in the hospital room. Fifteen years later, another person who had been in the room that day independently described an almost identical experience.We talk about what shared death experiences can teach us about consciousness, the loving nature of the universe, and what happens when we leave our physical bodies. We also explore Scott's work helping people intentionally access expanded states of consciousness, connect with loved ones and guides, and experience the nonphysical universe without having to nearly die to get there.Key takeaways from this episode:
A near-death experience happens when you leave your own physical body and return. In a shared death experience, you witness or even participate in someone else's transition.
Shared death experiences offer a powerful glimpse into what happens when we die. In William Peters' research with 900 people who had shared death experiences, every person described a benevolent afterlife.
Consciousness isn't limited by the physical body. During his shared death experience, Scott experienced himself as fully in the light and fully present in the hospital room at the same time.
We don't have to wait for a near-death or shared death experience to explore the nonphysical universe. Scott teaches people how to intentionally enter expanded states of consciousness and explore these realms for themselves.
Outside the physical world, there is no linear time. Scott believes our other lifetimes are happening simultaneously and that their wisdom is available to us now.
Intuition has a different energy signature than the thinking mind. The more we listen to it and trust it, the stronger that connection becomes.
These abilities aren't something we need to learn from scratch. As Scott says, spiritual exploration is about remembering what we already know.
Shared death experiences show us that consciousness persists after we die, and offer a glimpse of what lies beyond the physical realm.

Ask Your Guides: Are You Holding On Too Tightly?
2026/09/01
What you're reaching for arrives when you loosen your grasp. We cling to the things we want, a job, a dream, the people we love, sure that if we just try hard enough, we can keep them from slipping away. But so often, that very effort is what stands in our way. In this episode, three beautiful souls came for guidance with very different concerns, and the same message came through for all of them: you can loosen your hold. Everything is already working out for you.
Key takeaways from this episode:
What you believe shapes what you live. Pretending you don't have a fear won't move you past it, but meeting it with compassion will.
Overthinking a goal can create more resistance than momentum. When we relax the mind, the path forward appears.
Celebrate the abundance already flowing in your life. Appreciating what you have keeps you in the flow of receiving.
Don't do it if it's not fun. When sharing your gifts starts to feel like a burden, it may be a sign you've drifted from your path.
With the people we love, offer your guidance once, then trust them to find their own way.
Even when you're afraid for someone, their path is theirs to walk. Trust that their soul knows what it's doing.
When we ease our grip and trust the flow, what we've been longing for finally has room to find us.Join me and Dr. Larry Farwell for The Science of Creating Miracles retreat. Find the latest event details here: https://cactusblossomretreat.com/upcoming-events-two

The Call You Can’t Ignore with Suzanne Ross
2026/08/25
When something is truly yours to do, it doesn't feel like a choice. It feels irrepressible.
In this episode, I sit down with Suzanne Ross, an author, speaker, and event producer whose gift is bringing spiritual community together. Suzanne has built a life around following her calling, from her first book launch to her equinox retreats in Sedona and now San Diego, and I've had the joy of attending one of her events myself.
We talk about what it feels like to be genuinely compelled toward your purpose, when the guidance, the gifts, and the ability to act all seem to arrive at once. Suzanne shares the mountaintop moment of surrender that changed the course of her life, why she checks in with her guides before saying yes so she doesn't chase the shiny object, and how being multifaceted stops feeling scattered once you realize everything is connected.
We also get into the practical side: building a bridge from where you are to where you're called to be, and why alignment doesn't have to mean blowing up your whole life at once. And we explore how the science of quantum consciousness is beginning to explain what mystics have always known.
Key takeaways from this episode:
• A genuine calling comes with its own equipment. The skills and support to fulfill it tend to show up as you go.
• Don't confuse a soul-level yes with shiny object syndrome. Sit with it, check in with your guidance, and make sure it's genuinely aligned.
• Being multifaceted isn't the same as being scattered. Once you see that everything is connected, the many things you do become one expression.
• Misalignment speaks through the body. Anxiety, stress, and physical symptoms are often signs you've drifted from your calling.
• You don't have to jump off the mountain. Build a bridge, one foot in the practical world and one in the spiritual, and take the next aligned step.
• Alignment is rarely all or nothing. Sometimes it's a new hobby or a more inspiring role, not leaving everything behind at once.
• We're not just moving through reality. As conscious beings, we help shape it, which means we're creating our experience as we go.
When you trust the flow and follow where it leads, that's when the magic happens.

Beyond the Material with Daniel Branco
2026/08/18
What if consciousness isn't produced by the brain?
In this episode, I sit down with Daniel Branco, a Harvard-trained neurologist and neuroscientist and author of Spirit Duality: Spiritual Initiation for Rational People. Daniel and I share a similar origin story: we both set out to understand consciousness by studying the brain, and we both eventually left that path when we realized we might be looking in the wrong place.
We explore why the idea that matter is fundamental is exactly that—an assumption, not a scientific discovery—and what happens when we build our understanding of ourselves around the belief that we are finite beings who cease to exist when we die. Daniel makes the case for holding our beliefs loosely, as working assumptions rather than ultimate truths.
We also talk about the limits of what science can tell us about our inner experience. Science can measure what happens in the brain when we feel pain, for example, but it can't capture what pain actually feels like. We explore the possibility that the brain functions more like a filter, narrowing our experience rather than creating it, what Daniel experienced during his own near-death experience, and why quieting the mind may open the door to everything beyond it.
Key takeaways from this episode:
• That matter is fundamental isn't something science discovered. It's an assumption science was built on—and one we can question.
• Beliefs are best held loosely, as working tools for navigating the world. The danger comes when we mistake them for ultimate reality.
• Science can measure the correlates of an experience, but it can't reach the felt sense of it. No brain scan captures what pain actually feels like.
• The brain may work more like a filter, narrowing our experience, than like a source that generates it.
• Peak experiences often come when brain activity quiets, not ramps up. Hallucinogens and near-death states offer fascinating clues about the relationship between the brain and consciousness.
• If consciousness is primary, then you aren't just perceiving reality—you're participating in its creation as you experience it.
• You don't have to transcend your humanity. Your human lens is the unique angle your soul chose to express itself through.
There is so much more to who you are than the material world can measure.

Everything Is Always Working Out for You
2026/08/11
When you already know it all works out, life stops being something to survive and becomes something to enjoy.
In this episode, I share a small experience that turned into a big reminder. I've been a die-hard Detroit Pistons fan since childhood. Since moving to the West Coast, though, the games often air while I'm still working, so I've started watching them later on replay, already knowing the final score. It completely changed how I experienced the game, and it got me thinking about how differently we'd all move through life if we trusted, deep down, that everything is always working out for us.
I get into why knowing the ending didn't ruin the game. Instead, it freed me to enjoy the artistry, the comebacks, even the cliffhanger moments, without the pit-in-your-stomach anxiety. And I share what the guides had to say about the difference between how our soul experiences life and how our human self does. Your soul is in it for the ride, delighting in the whole game, while the human part is the one clutching the outcome.
Key takeaways from this episode:
• Every desire is already unfolding somewhere, and the more you trust that, the more you open yourself to experiencing it.
• At your core, nothing is wrong with you. You're safe, whole, and lovable. The rest is the illusion, the shadow of who you really are.
• When you live from the assumption that all is well, obstacles stop feeling like emergencies and start feeling like part of the show.
• Your soul isn't attached to outcomes the way your human self is. It came here to play, explore a theme from every angle, and delights in the whole journey.
• Your soul celebrates your growth and sees the rightness in every experience, even when your human self can't yet see the bigger picture.
• Even the hardest losses can become some of the most beautiful, meaningful moments in the story.
• When you forget all of this, that's the moment to love yourself, soothe yourself, and gently remember that everything is always working out for you.

Demystifying Kundalini Awakening with Corinne Lebrun
2026/08/04
There's an energy that moves through all of us, waiting to awaken.
More and more people are having unexpected spiritual experiences: a sudden rush of energy, an overwhelming sense of love, or a profound knowing that seems to come out of nowhere. Often, they wonder if they're going crazy.
In this episode, I sit down with Corinne Lebrun, TEDx speaker, author, and host of the Wild Divine Bliss podcast, to explore kundalini, the life force energy behind these awakenings, and what it really means to experience a kundalini awakening.
We talk about what's happening during these experiences, why they can feel blissful one day and overwhelming the next, and how to navigate them with greater understanding and trust. We also explore why the goal isn't to chase extraordinary spiritual experiences or escape everyday life, but to integrate these awakenings into a grounded, embodied, and deeply human way of being.
Key takeaways from this episode:
• Kundalini is a life force energy we all have. Awakening isn't acquiring something new, it's the same energy growing stronger and moving more fully through you
• These experiences are often spontaneous. You don't have to reach a breaking point to awaken, though for some people that's how it happens
• A sudden awakening can feel blissful or deeply unsettling, and neither means something has gone wrong
• When energy expands faster than you've done the inner work, whatever you've kept in the shadows tends to surface. The work is learning presence and facing it
• Protecting yourself with white light is fear-based. Try expanding your energy and turning up your own light instead, so everything else burns away
• Psychic ability is a human capacity, not proof of spiritual development. It can be used for good or misused, so don't let it become a parlor trick
• Everything is spiritual. You are a spiritual being having a human experience, and you can't opt out of that in any moment
When we stop chasing the extraordinary, we find the sacred was here all along.

When You Stop Settling
2026/07/28
What we believe is possible shapes what becomes possible.
In this episode, I share two client stories and how they reminded me what even a small shift in perspective can do.
One was a mom whose daughter was waiting on a college decision and already leaning toward the safer choice. The other was a business owner weighing an offer to sell. Neither needed a list of action steps. What they needed was a gentle nudge to recognize what they truly wanted and realize it was within their reach. A week later, the daughter got into her dream school, and the buyer came back with a significantly higher offer. That's all it took.
Key takeaways:
• The difference between discernment and overthinking, and why one brings clarity while the other keeps you stuck
• Why manifesting from your soul is fundamentally different from trying to control life through the ego
• Why the ego isn't the enemy. It offers useful information, just not the whole picture
• How limiting beliefs quietly prepare us to settle for less than what's truly possible
• Why paying attention to what's already flowing in your life helps create more of it
• How to tell the difference between a true obstacle and one that only appears enormous because of the lens you're looking through
• How quieting the mind allows your inner guidance to reveal possibilities you couldn't see before
When we trust the flow and follow our inner guidance, the road in front of us doesn't just become clearer. It can change entirely.

Healing Imposter Syndrome with Kathy Rose
2026/07/21
The cure to imposter syndrome is not about proving yourself to others. It's about trusting in your own inner authority.
In this episode, I sit back down with astrologer Kathy Rose — host of the Rose Astrology YouTube channel and my personal go-to for making sense of what the cosmos is up to. Kathy has been doing astrological consultations for 42 years, and she has a rare gift for keeping the work grounded, practical, and free of jargon.
We talk about why imposter syndrome is showing up so loudly for women right now — the astrological weight behind it, the social conditioning under it, and what Saturn and Neptune in Aries are actually inviting us to do about it. Kathy explains what she calls spiritual self-sufficiency, why the antidote to doubt isn't more accomplishments but internal congruence, and how habit change (not wound-hunting) is often the more useful frame.
Key takeaways from this episode:
• Saturn and Neptune have moved into Aries, and we're in the middle of a 14-year wave asking women to come into full alignment with their wisdom and expertise
• Spiritual self-sufficiency means going within for your answers — not because outside guides are wrong, but because your inner authority is where the truth actually lives
• Imposter syndrome isn't fixed by proving yourself more. It's healed by settling it for yourself — knowing what you know, and no longer needing anyone else to confirm it
• Congruence isn't loud. It's a solid, resonant energy that other people can feel without you saying a word
• Habit change is often more useful than wound work: notice the trigger, hear the alarm bell, pause, redirect
• Apologizing before we speak up, self-insulting to deflect a compliment, taking up less space — these are learned protections, not truths about who we are
• Balancing masculine and feminine energy is happening within all of us, not just between us
• Hope is real. There's a generation of young men actively rewriting how women get to be seen and honored
Time to settle it for yourself.

The Weight You Don't Have to Carry: A Reading with June
2026/07/14
When you live your light, the right people find you.
In this episode, I sit down for an intuitive reading with my guest June, and the conversation that unfolds holds something for everyone.
June came in asking about his mission and purpose, and right away I saw an image: a train barreling down the tracks at full speed, with him running up and down the cars trying to keep every piece moving. He's built something remarkable, a heart-centered community of thousands, alongside several other businesses, and underneath it all is a question about where to put his energy and what to let go of. His guides met him with a clear message: the momentum is his own intention at work, so he doesn't have to keep running to catch up with what he's created. We get into the difference between the two kinds of service, giving until there's nothing left versus living your own light and letting it draw others in, and the deeper work of learning that his worth was never something he had to earn by doing for everyone else.
Key takeaways from this episode:
• The momentum you feel is your own intention in motion. You don't have to push the train, and you're allowed to slow it down
• Over-responsibility is its own kind of weight. You can trust your team, your guides, and the flow to carry more than you think
• Nothing meant for you will pass you by. If something falls through the cracks, it either loops back or it wasn't yours to hold
• Watch the accounting in your relationships. When you're always giving ninety-five and getting five, something needs to recalibrate
• Frustration is information. When you feel it, don't stuff it down. Sit with it long enough to hear what it's telling you
• There are two ways to serve: give until you disintegrate, or live your light and let it draw the right people in. Only one is sustainable
• You're allowed to be compensated for what you create. Being of service and being profitable are not opposites
When we trust the flow, everything tends to work out in the best possible way.
