In this thought-provoking and heartfelt episode, I sit down with spiritual medium, author, and podcast host Cheryl Bradley for a deep conversation about spirituality, spiritual awakening, and self improvement.

234: Spiritually Awakening to Humanity
2026/03/25
In this episode, I'm diving into something that's been sitting heavy on my heart, what it really means to experience a spiritual awakening in today's world, and how we begin to see humanity differently when we do.
After a recent healing session, I had a moment of clarity that shifted how I view language, culture, religion, and identity. What if these things were never meant to divide us… but to push us toward deeper awareness, connection, and love?
In this conversation, I walk you through:
- How our differences are tied to spirituality and growth, not separation
- The role of ego, fear, and judgment in blocking true connection
- Why emotional regulation is key in navigating a divided world
- How to move toward emotional wellness instead of reacting from triggers
- What self improvement really looks like when it comes to loving people who are different from you
This episode is a reflection on where we are as a society, but also a personal invitation to pause, look inward, and ask yourself how you're showing up in the world.
Because real spiritual awakening isn't about avoiding discomfort… It's about learning how to move through it with awareness, compassion, and intention.
If you've been feeling overwhelmed by division, triggered by what you're seeing online or in real life, or just questioning things on a deeper level, this episode is for you.

233: MAP Healing for Emotional Wellness
2026/03/18
In this episode, I'm diving into a powerful healing modality that has completely transformed the way I approach self improvement, emotional wellness, and spirituality, MAP (Make Anything Possible) healing.
After nearly 20 years in energy work, I didn't expect to discover something that would shift my perspective this much. What started as a simple workshop turned into a deeper understanding of how our subconscious mind stores trauma, shapes our behaviors, and even influences our ability to regulate emotions.
If you've been on a journey of spiritual awakening, or you're actively working on your emotional regulation and personal growth, this episode will give you a fresh and eye-opening perspective.
Here's what we explore:
- What MAP healing is and how it works with your subconscious and higher self
- How past experiences, even small ones, can impact your emotional patterns and daily life
- Why healing doesn't have to mean reliving painful memories
- How this work supports emotional regulation and helps reduce triggers in real time
- Real-life examples of breakthroughs in areas like money blocks, overwhelm, and self-sabotage
- How this modality supports deeper self improvement and long-term emotional wellness
- Simple ways to start applying these tools in your everyday life
One of the most fascinating parts of this conversation is how this work blends spirituality with practical, real-life results. You're not just talking about healing, you're actually experiencing it in your body, in your thoughts, and in how you respond to life.
Whether you're just beginning your journey or already deep into your path of spiritual awakening, this episode will help you understand how to release what's been holding you back and step into a more grounded, empowered version of yourself.

232: Plant Medicine and Breathwork with Nahum Vizakis
2026/03/12
In this episode, I sit down with Nahum Vizakis, combat veteran, bodybuilder, and author of The Biohackers Guide to Spiritual Bodybuilding. Our conversation goes far beyond fitness. We talk about trauma, healing, spiritual awakening, and what it really means to rebuild your life after facing some of the hardest moments a person can experience.
Nahum shares his journey from serving in the military as part of explosive ordnance disposal in Iraq, to navigating PTSD, identity loss, and eventually discovering a path that blends physical training, emotional healing, and spiritual growth.
In this episode, we talk about:
- Nahum's unexpected experience competing on the TV show Wipeout and why it was much tougher than he imagined
- What it was really like working in explosive ordnance disposal and facing life threatening situations in Iraq
- The moment that triggered his first major spiritual awakening while serving in the military
- How bodybuilding and fitness helped ground him, but also revealed deeper struggles with identity and validation
- Why many men struggle with vulnerability, emotional healing, and childhood wounds
- The role of biohacking, breathwork, cold exposure, and plant medicine in personal transformation
- What Nahum means by spiritual bodybuilding, and how it applies to healing the mind, body, and spirit
This conversation dives into topics like men's mental health, trauma recovery, spiritual growth, and holistic healing. Nahum shares openly about the experiences that shaped him and the work he now does helping others reconnect with themselves and find a healthier, more balanced life.
If you are interested in personal development, trauma healing, spirituality, fitness, breathwork, biohacking, or plant medicine, this episode offers a powerful and honest perspective.

In this episode of Meredyth with a Why, I sit down with 5th generation psychic medium Dallisa Hocking for a real, grounded conversation about intuition, psychic gifts, spirit communication, and world predictions. We go deep into what it's actually like when your abilities "turn on," how to trust what you're sensing, and why so many of us are feeling a major energetic shift right now.

- How Dallisa's psychic and mediumship abilities activated overnight and completely changed the direction of her life
- The difference between being psychic and being a medium, and how information from spirit really comes through
- Why I truly believe everyone is intuitive, and how to stop blocking your own inner knowing

230: Religion & The Person
2026/02/17
In this episode, I'm opening a conversation that feels uncomfortable, necessary, and long overdue. I'm talking about the difference between religion as a label and the actual behavior of the person claiming it, and why what we do matters more than what we call ourselves.
We live in a time where identity is wrapped in religion, politics, and belief systems. But I want to ask a harder question: if our actions don't match our values, what does the label even mean?
Inside this episode, I explore:
- The gap between religious identity and real-life behavior
- Why calling yourself moral doesn't automatically make your actions moral
- How faith, politics, and power are colliding in modern culture
- The danger of judging people by labels instead of actions
- My personal reflections on Christianity, alignment, and belief
- Why behavior reveals truth faster than words ever will
- A call to wake up and start questioning what we accept at face value
This is a raw conversation about religion, personal responsibility, integrity, and how we define who we are. I'm not asking you to agree with me, I'm asking you to think deeper about belief, behavior, and the world we're actively creating.
If you've ever questioned how religion intersects with identity, morality, and modern society, this episode is for you.

229: The GREAT Awakening
2026/02/10
In this intense and deeply personal episode, I'm talking about what I believe is the GREAT Awakening, the moment we're living in where truth, power, politics, and collective consciousness are colliding in a way none of us can ignore anymore. Every day feels surreal. Every headline feels heavier. And whether you want to look or not, something inside you knows we are being pushed to wake up.
This is not a neat, polished conversation. It's raw. It's emotional. It's uncomfortable. And it asks the question so many people are afraid to say out loud: What happens when you realize the system you trusted might never have been built for you?
In this episode, I explore:
➡️ Why the political divide may be the greatest distraction of our lifetime, and how it keeps us fighting each other instead of seeing the bigger picture
➡️ The emotional toll of feeling powerless in a system that feels rigged, and what that hopelessness is trying to teach us
➡️ How ego attachment to political identity blinds us to truth, accountability, and shared humanity
➡️ The history of oppression, racism, and power… and why feeling uncomfortable might actually be part of waking up
➡️ The danger of idolizing leaders, celebrities, or movements instead of examining track records and patterns
➡️ What it means to recognize programming, propaganda, and manipulation in modern media and government
This episode is about collective awakening, political awareness, social consciousness, and the spiritual shock of realizing the world is not what we were told it was. It's about stepping out of distraction and into awareness. It's about choosing truth over tribal loyalty. And it's about remembering that awakening is messy, emotional, and necessary.
If you've been feeling overwhelmed by politics, world events, government distrust, media narratives, or the sense that something bigger is happening beneath the surface, this conversation is for you.

228: No Contact? Blame Frequency!
2026/02/03
In this episode, I'm talking about something a lot of families are quietly living through right now: going no contact. I'm diving into why it happens, why it hurts, and why it's often less about one big moment and more about frequency, the way we grow, change, and emotionally outpace the patterns we were raised in.
This isn't about blaming parents. It isn't about blaming kids. It's about understanding what happens when judgment replaces listening, when boundaries aren't respected, and when healing gets postponed for years. If you've ever felt exhausted around your family, or confused about why connection suddenly feels heavy, this conversation is for you.
In this episode, I walk through:
- Why going no contact with parents or adult children is often emotional survival, not cruelty
- How parental judgment, even when it's "loving", erodes trust over time
- The difference between venting and asking for advice (and the question that can save your relationship)
- Why letting your kids fail is a powerful teacher, not bad parenting
- How unhealed childhood triggers follow you into adulthood, marriage, and work
- What I mean by frequency and how it explains parent-child disconnect
- How emotional healing is the only real bridge back to connection
- Why no contact without inner work doesn't actually free you
I'm speaking directly to anyone navigating family estrangement, parent-child conflict, adult children setting boundaries, or the emotional weight of unresolved childhood patterns. Whether you're the parent, the adult child, or both, this episode is about clarity, compassion, and personal responsibility.
If you've ever thought:
Why does being around my family feel so draining?
Why don't they understand who I am now?
How do I love them without losing myself?
This episode for you.

227: Your Are The Collective
2026/01/27
In this episode, I'm talking about something I believe we're all feeling right now, whether we want to admit it or not, the collective. That sense that something is off in the world, even when your personal life might look fine on the outside. We are energy. We're affected by what's happening around us. And there's no opting out of that.
I dive into why the heaviness, fear, anger, and confusion so many of us are experiencing isn't random. It's collective energy. And the real question becomes: what do we do with it? How do we stay grounded, human, and empowered when fear is being pushed so hard in the world?
In this conversation, I share my perspective on what's unfolding right now and why continuing on as if nothing is happening no longer works, personally or collectively. We're shedding old systems, old tolerances, and old ways of living, and that process is uncomfortable. But discomfort shows us where we no longer belong.
I also talk about:
- Why we can't escape collective consciousness, even if we try to ignore it
- How fear is being used as a tool, and why it only works if we participate in it
- The difference between reacting from anger and acting from awareness
- Why traditional protests aren't enough, and what actually creates impact
- What you can do if you don't feel safe being loud, visible, or confrontational
- A heart-centered practice you can do anywhere to shift your energy and send love into the collective
- Why allowing injustice for one group eventually becomes injustice for all
This episode touches on spiritual consciousness, energy, community, personal responsibility, and the power of love over fear, grounded in real events and real emotions. It's not polished or comfortable, but it's honest.
If you've been feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure where you fit in everything that's happening, this episode is for you.

226: The War Of Spirit
2026/01/20
In today's episode, I'm talking about something that's been weighing heavily on me this week. What we are seeing play out in the world right now only makes sense when you look at it through one lens, the War of Spirit.
This isn't just about politics, borders, governments, or power. It's about fear versus love. Legalism versus humanity. The God of rules and punishment versus the Father that Jesus spoke of when he said, simply, "Love one another. Period."
In this episode, I share what I believe is happening beneath the surface of current events and why so much of the chaos, fear, violence, and division we're witnessing comes back to one question: Who are we serving?
Here's what I explore in this conversation:
- Why fear is the fuel behind everything we're seeing and who benefits from it
- The difference between the God of the Old Testament and the Father Jesus spoke of
- How religion has been used as a tool of government, control, and justification
- What it means to "know them by their fruit" and why actions always tell the truth
- Why history keeps repeating itself and why this moment feels so familiar
- How spiritual warfare plays out through human systems like power, money, and control
- Why love, not fear, is the only thing that makes any of this stop
This episode isn't meant to be comfortable. It's meant to ask deeper questions. To slow down, step back, and really look at what's being produced in the world right now, and what that says about the spirit behind it.
No one does what they're doing because they believe they're wrong. Everyone believes they're justified. And that's why discernment matters more than ever.
If you've been feeling unsettled, confused, or like something deeper is happening beneath the surface, this conversation will help you understand why.

225: Barbra Banner: Next level Soul Medium
2026/01/13
In this episode, I sit down with psychic medium and certified healer Barbra Banner for a deep, honest conversation about mediumship, soul growth, grief, and what it really means to trust the unseen. Barbara's journey into this work didn't begin in childhood. It unfolded later in life, and when spirit showed up, it showed up loudly.
We talk openly about what mediumship really looks like beyond the stereotypes and social media clips, and how spiritual work can be both deeply healing and very human.
In this conversation, we explore:
- Barbara's late-in-life spiritual awakening and how spirit persistently called her into this work
- The difference between psychic abilities, mediumship, trance states, and clairsentience
- Why boundaries, ethics, and consent matter in psychic and medium readings
- How grief, loss, and trauma can be reframed through active faith and soul perspective
- Powerful stories of healing, including undeniable "proof" moments that shifted skeptics into belief
- The energetic reality of mediumship and why alignment and trust are everything
- Barbra's honest take on celebrity medium readings, social media psychics, and spiritual integrity
- Why releasing the idea of punishment and leaning into trust can bring peace during life's hardest moments
This episode goes beyond surface-level spirituality. It's a grounded, real conversation about life after death, spiritual healing, psychic medium ethics, grief support, and trusting the universe, shared through stories, humor, and compassion.

224: 'PUNISHMENT" Is The Spiritual Protection
2026/01/06
What if the hardest moments of your life weren't punishment, but spiritual correction trying to wake you up? If you keep attracting the same painful patterns, relationships, or emotional challenges, this episode of Meredyth with a Why offers a perspective that can completely change how you see your life.
In this episode, I discuss one of the most misunderstood concepts in spirituality and personal growth: the belief that suffering is punishment. I share a personal realization about working to be loved, and how it revealed why we repeat emotional patterns and attract the same relationships and life experiences. I also talk about how correction, boundaries, and discomfort are often necessary for confidence, resilience, and real growth.
In this episode, we explore:
- What is spiritual punishment, and how fear-based religious conditioning shapes our beliefs
- How childhood conditioning, trauma, and past experiences repeat themselves through adult relationships
- The difference between accountability and victim blaming, and why taking responsibility leads to freedom
- Why toxic patterns, triggers, and emotional reactions repeat until you finally wake up and change your role

223: You Are Psychic, Period
2025/12/31
In this episode of Meredith with a Why, host Meredyth Willits delivers a powerful, no-nonsense reminder that challenges everything we have been taught about intuition, spirituality, and self-trust. Her message is simple and unapologetic: you are psychic, period.
This episode is not about becoming something new. It is about remembering who you already are.
Meredyth breaks down the idea that psychic ability is not rare, special, or reserved for a select few. It is part of being human. From gut instincts and red flags to sudden thoughts, emotional reactions, and physical symptoms, she explains how spirit is communicating with us constantly and what happens when we ignore it.
She also calls out spiritual gatekeeping, religious hierarchy, and fear-based narratives that convince people they need a middleman to access God, intuition, or higher guidance. According to Meredyth, those voices are not truth. They are control.
Throughout the episode, she shares how ignoring intuition can show up as anxiety, illness, burnout, depression, and chronic dissatisfaction, and why your body often becomes the last messenger when you refuse to listen to the first one.
She explores:
✅ Why being psychic is not a skill you learn, but a truth you remember
✅ How intuition shows up through the ick, gut feelings, songs in your head, and sudden knowing
✅ Why red flags are psychic information, not overthinking
✅ The difference between ego, fear, and spirit, and how to tell them apart
✅ Why spirit does not warn you with panic, but redirects you with alignment
✅ How ignoring your inner voice can manifest as physical and emotional symptoms
✅ Why your job, relationships, health challenges, and discomfort are tools guiding you back to yourself
✅ How clutter, guilt, and "shoulds" keep you energetically stuck
✅ Why releasing even one object can create massive internal shifts
✅ How surrendering control allows the whisper to become louder and clearer
Meredyth also shares deeply personal stories, real-life examples, and hard truths about self-negotiation, people-pleasing, and staying in situations that drain you because they feel familiar or "acceptable."
This episode is an invitation to stop negotiating with your own misery and start listening to the voice that has been guiding you all along.
00:00 Welcome and the truth nobody wants to say, you are psychic
01:30 Why psychic ability is not special or exclusive
03:20 You are a walking antenna, downloads, songs, and instant ick
05:00 The doctor analogy and honing a craft versus having the ability
06:45 Scammers, gatekeeping, and why that does not invalidate intuition
08:10 You do not need a middleman to access spirit or God
10:00 Energetic connection, chemistry, love, and what Namaste really means
13:10 Spirit versus ego and why people confuse fear with intuition
16:40 The whisper and what happens when you ignore it
20:45 Red flags, gut instincts, and psychic information
23:30 Spirit's relentless redirection when you are off path
26:40 How ignored intuition shows up as anxiety, illness, and pain
30:10 Knowing you are on your path because it lights you up
33:20 The truth about health, self-negotiation, and honesty
36:30 Everything in your life is here to help you find you
41:40 Decluttering, energetic weight, and releasing old identities
45:00 Surrendering control and stepping into alignment for the new year
If this episode resonated, share it with someone who is ignoring red flags, feeling stuck, or doubting their inner voice. Sometimes the reminder we need comes from someone else saying the thing out loud.

222: Waste and Want Are Spiritually Imperative
2025/12/26
In this deeply honest episode, I'm inviting you to rethink one of the most familiar life lessons we've all heard: "waste not, want not." Instead of treating "waste" as something shameful, I'm sharing how letting go, clearing space, and releasing what no longer serves us is spiritually necessary if we ever want to experience true growth, joy, expansion, and alignment with who we really are.
If you've ever felt guilty for throwing things away… guilty for not finishing what's on your plate… guilty for stepping away from friendships, jobs, traditions, or expectations that feel heavy, I believe this conversation will breathe fresh life and freedom into your heart.
Here's what I talk about in this episode:
- How "waste" can actually become a sacred act when it creates space for new opportunities, desire, inspiration, and forward movement
- Why guilt, shame, and old programming keep us stuck and how clearing clutter (physical, emotional, and relational) opens the door to spiritual growth and emotional healing
- How shifting from constant consuming to intentional living can transform your relationship with money, happiness, fulfillment, and purpose
- A refreshing look at holidays, traditions, and expectations and how choosing experiences over excess can bring more meaning, peace, and joy
- Practical, compassionate steps to start decluttering your life, your energy, your environment, and even your identity, so you can move into the future lighter, clearer, and more aligned with your soul
If you're craving clarity… emotional freedom… spiritual awakening… or simply a life that finally feels like you, this episode will meet you right where you are. It's real, it's reflective, and it's filled with encouragement, truth, and permission to honor your soul.
