Advertise on podcast: Here For The Truth

In his first podcast appearance in years, Aubert Bastiat holds nothing back. A transformational coach, relationship mentor, and co-founder of Sacred Sons, Aubert sits down for one of the rawest, most unflinching conversations we’ve ever had, tracing the full arc of a life shaped by abandonment, addiction, spiritual awakening, and the very public dismantling of everything he built. We go deep into the father wound, the patterns it seeds across a lifetime, what it actually costs to tell the truth when the truth threatens everything you’ve constructed, and what becomes possible when a man stops performing and starts rebuilding from the ground up. This is a story of sacred ruin, of losing identity, reputation and relationship, and finding something indestructible on the other side. If you’ve ever wondered what it really looks like to let the truth set you free, this conversation will show you.

In this episode, we sit down with Lishui Springford — earth scientist turned ecology professor, GNM practitioner since 2002, and host of the Mind Over Symptom podcast. Lishui makes the case that identity conflict sits at the root of all biological conflict — that every symptom, every pattern, every fear traces back to a single fracture: existential isolation, the felt experience of being severed from the source of your own being. We explore how victim-based, deterministic thinking follows us into even the frameworks meant to free us, and why the only question that actually resolves anything is who do I want to be? If you’ve sensed there’s a deeper question beneath every pattern you keep repeating — this one’s for you.

What if the thing holding you back isn’t a lack of knowledge — but a refusal to act on what you already know? In this episode, we go straight at the endless healing loop — consuming book after book, modality after modality, while your actual life stays frozen in place. We unpack the difference between awareness and conscious choice, why sitting with one deep question can move the needle more than ten bestsellers, and how self-esteem is built not through more learning but through honoring the smallest whisper within and following it into action. If you’ve been waiting until you’re “ready,” this is your invitation to begin.

Dr. Richard Massey spent decades inside the medical system — from USAF medic to pharmacy school to anesthesiology — before a personal betrayal by his own education cracked the paradigm wide open. In this deeply moving conversation, Richard introduces us to what he calls family biology: the idea that our nervous systems carry inherited loyalty programs from the womb, designed to absorb our ancestors’ suffering as an act of love — and that what we call illness is often that love story facing backwards. We explore the intelligence of the heart, the trilogy of conception, how birth events silently script our relationship to work and intimacy, and why the body is never broken — only in repair. Richard walks us through real cases where autoimmune conditions, atrial fibrillation, and even terminal diagnoses dissolved once the ancestral connection was restored. If you’ve ever sensed that healing goes deeper than the body and further back than your own lifetime, this conversation will show you how deep the roots actually go. Dr. Richard Massey is a former anesthesiologist, pharmacist, and USAF medic who left conventional medicine to pursue integrative and ancestral healing. Based in Austin, Texas, he works with blood and matrix fluid microscopy, heart coherence monitoring, family constellations, and what he calls family biology — a blend of German New Medicine, Recall Healing, and ancestral medicine.

In this grounded and deeply informed conversation, Will traces the history of the somatic field — from Thomas Hanna’s coining of the term through the human potential movement at Esalen to Peter Levine’s groundbreaking work in stress physiology — and makes a compelling case for why the body is not a machine to be programmed, but a living process to be inhabited. We explore why catharsis without capacity is dangerous, why the coaching industry is operating with an incomplete map, and why the fawn response makes “only go as far as your body says” almost useless in group settings. Will also shares his own journey — from surviving group home trauma as a teenager to declaring a mission to end trauma at a species level. If you’ve ever sensed that the healing world is missing something fundamental, this conversation will show you what it is. Will Rezin is a Somatic Experiencing practitioner and the founder of Trauma and Somatics, a global training organization that has trained over 500 practitioners across 28 countries in the art and science of trauma recovery.

Barlas Günay is a registered psychologist who has spent 13 years guiding thousands through childhood trauma recovery and what he calls self-reparenting — the deliberate practice of giving yourself what your parents couldn't. His thesis is: you cannot heal while still participating in "normal." The processed food, the numbing, the people-pleasing, the job that's slowly killing you — these aren't separate from the psychological suffering, they are the suffering. Real change asks more of you. Authenticity, nervous system regulation, and the willingness to be the only sane person in the room.

In this episode we sit down with Kenneth Soares, hypnotherapist, NLP trainer, and advanced EFT practitioner whose guided meditations and affirmations have reached over 100 million plays worldwide. Kenneth shares deep insights into how the subconscious mind shapes our beliefs, behaviors, and identity, and why real transformation requires the courage to face reality rather than avoid it. We explore the pitfalls of spiritual bypassing, the dangers of getting lost in endless “rabbit holes,” and how discernment, self-responsibility, and inner work form the foundation of authentic growth. Kenneth also shares powerful perspectives on parenting in the modern world and how to consciously support the psychological development of our children in an age of constant conditioning.

In a world engineered to hijack your attention, erode your trust, and sedate your spirit, how do you stay whole? In this profound and wide-ranging conversation, Mark Jones returns to explore what it truly means to survive the modern age without losing your essence. We dive into the fragmentation of the psyche, the war on attention, the collapse of shared meaning, and the quiet crisis of soul disconnection—while pointing toward something deeper and more enduring: an inner light that cannot be commodified or corrupted. From Gurdjieff and Jung to death, purpose, creativity, and the sacred architecture of the self, this episode is a call to reclaim your depth, face mortality with courage, and live as if your life is a once-in-eternity song. If you’ve felt the anxiety of this cultural moment but also the stirring of something greater within you, this conversation will remind you what’s at stake—and what’s possible.

What if the life you secretly want isn’t a fantasy — but something real trying to emerge through you? In this episode, Joel and Yerasimos unpack the power of vision, will, and imagination — and the uncomfortable truth that many people drift through life while quietly ignoring the deeper pull toward something greater. Through personal stories of risk, rejection, doubt, and radical course-corrections, they explore what it actually takes to honor your authentic path — even when it looks irrational to others. This conversation dives into self-knowledge, perseverance, and the discipline required to turn desire into tangible reality. If you’ve felt the tension between the life you’re living and the life you know you’re capable of creating, this is your invitation to stop numbing it — and start moving toward it.

For over a decade, Jordan Sather has stood at the front lines of the digital information war — building one of the earliest independent platforms decoding Q in real time, getting banned from nearly every major platform during the censorship purge, and continuing to investigate the deeper layers of power, influence, and corruption behind stories like Epstein, intelligence blackmail networks, Pizzagate and the battle between mainstream and alternative media. In this wide-ranging and grounded conversation, Jordan walks us through his personal awakening, the rise (and infiltration) of the Q movement, the truth and distortion surrounding the Epstein files, and the psychological traps that can derail even the most sincere truth-seekers. You will not find blind allegiance or doom-fueled paranoia here — it’s a sober exploration of psyops, influence operations, and the responsibility that comes with knowing. If you care about discernment in a chaotic age, this episode is essential listening.

Raised inside the Church of Immortal Consciousness and taken from his mother under the banner of “spiritual purpose,” Danny Rensch grew up in a world where channeling spirits and chasing chess mastery were intertwined. In this gripping conversation, the International Master and co-founder of Chess.com opens up about being groomed for greatness by a chess-obsessed cult leader, the trauma of spiritual manipulation, the collapse of the collective that shaped him, and the long road toward forgiveness and integration. Danny shares how chess became both his escape and his evolution — an unsolvable, unforgiving game that mirrors life itself — and how he helped lead the digital revolution that brought the royal game to over 200 million players worldwide. This is a raw, nuanced exploration of consciousness, power, resilience, and what it really means to reclaim your own narrative.

In this return conversation, Mark Gober opens up about one of the most intense and transformative experiences of his life: a guided ibogaine journey that forced him into direct confrontation with the roots of identity, self-judgment, and inherited fear. What unfolds is not psychedelic glamour or mystical escapism, but a brutal, compassionate reckoning with the architecture of the psyche — from parts work and suppressed rage to ancestral trauma and the meaning of real self-love. Mark describes communing with an intelligence that seemed to know him better than he knew himself, dismantling old narratives while demanding embodiment, responsibility, and integration. This is a raw exploration of what happens when insight becomes unavoidable, when healing moves through the body, and when love arrives in the form of truth.

In this episode, we’re joined by Andrew Genovese, dimensional breathwork guide, inner child + shadow work teacher, and a fierce advocate for inner sovereignty and soul reclamation — for a grounded, no-BS conversation about what spirituality actually is (and what it definitely isn’t). Andrew shares his personal hero’s journey…from years of nomadic travel and existential dread, to a full-blown awakening catalyzed by loss, collapse, and deep surrender. He walks us through the real mechanics of transformation: nervous system capacity, embodiment, and the willingness to face your own darkness instead of hiding behind slogans. We go straight at the modern “spiritual scene” — the robes, the persona, the Love & Light bypassing and why real awakening doesn’t look like anything…except becoming radically, unapologetically yourself. If you’ve ever felt allergic to the performance of spirituality and hungry for something with substance, this episode is your compass.

In this Joel + Yerasimos (4-time Backgammon Champion & Alex Honnold expert) duo episode, we go deep into one of the most important questions a human being can ask themselves: what’s the tower I’m here to climb, and why am I avoiding it? From the psychology of fear and the trap of “comfort living,” to the brutal honesty required to build real self-esteem, we explore why most people unknowingly choose a half-lived life…and call it normal. We talk discipline, constraint, mastery, and the unseen cost of never committing fully, because endless options aren’t freedom. Devotion is. If you’ve felt that quiet inner frustration—that sense that you’re meant for more but you’re holding back—this conversation is a wake-up call: choose your tower…and climb it. https://www.confluenceevent.com HFTT10 Discount Code - 10% off Connect with Us Join our membership Friends of the Truth Rise Above The Herd Take the Real AF Test Now Discover Your Truth Seeker Archetype Watch all our episodes Connect with us on Telegram Follow us on Instagram Access all our links

In this episode, we’re joined by Lucy Biggers, former climate activist and current Head of Social Media at The Free Press, for a rare inside look at how modern activism becomes psychologically binding—and how difficult it is to leave once your identity, career, and sense of belonging are tied to it. Lucy shares her personal journey from producing viral climate content and amplifying activist narratives to questioning the fear-based assumptions beneath them, unpacking the role of groupthink, moral signaling, nervous system regulation, and social punishment in shaping belief. This is a psychological inquiry into how good intentions can harden into ideology—and what it actually takes to reclaim independent thought, inner authority, and the courage to speak against the crowd.
