Near Death Experiences and the Continuum of Consciousness

In this season premiere, we chase one of humanity’s oldest and most urgent questions: does consciousness survive death? From ancient Sumerian tablets to cutting-edge neuroscience, Near-Death Experiences appear again and again — shaping our visions of the afterlife and hinting at a mind that may not end with the body. Featuring neurosurgeon Dr. Eben Alexander, bestselling author Martha Beck, and scholar Dr. Gregory Shushan, this episode explores accounts so striking - and at times verifiable - that experiencers insist they were “more real than life itself.” - If you want to learn more about Noble Mobile, visit noblemobile.com/tapes.

EXPOSING OUR BIGGEST INSECURITIES…

This week on HAHA PODCAST, the Ha Sisters sit down for one of our most vulnerable conversations yet as we open up about our insecurities. We wanted this episode to be a reminder that everyone struggles with something—even the things no one else notices. We go around sharing our biggest insecurities, where they come from, and how we personally cope with them while growing up in different stages of life. From body image and self-doubt to comparison and pressure, we talk honestly about how social media can amplify these feelings and how we’re learning to navigate it all. Our goal with this episode is to create a safe space where honesty feels comfortable and vulnerability isn’t scary. If you’ve ever felt insecure, compared yourself to others, or struggled with confidence, just know you’re not alone—and this conversation is for you. Join Emily (17), Erica (21), and Evelyn (26) for a real, raw, and heartfelt episode of HAHA PODCAST

I Accidentally Killed Someone — Then Had to Survive Prison | Jesse Smithers

Jesse Smithers was just a teenager when a street fight turned fatal, forcing him to accept a 10-year plea deal in the Minnesota prison system. In this interview, Jesse breaks down how he survived a decade behind bars only to face a new battle upon release: a system that wouldn't hire him. Pushed back into selling drugs to survive, Jesse reveals how a miraculous case dismissal became the final wake-up call he needed to leave the life of crime behind forever. _____________________________________________ #ianbick #prisonstories #minnesota #prisonsurvival #lockedin #truecrime #inmate #survival #prisonlife #minneapolis _____________________________________________ Thank you to FACTOR & AVA for sponsoring this episode: FACTOR: Head to https://factormeals.com/lockedin50off and use code lockedin50off to get 50% off your first Factor box PLUS free breakfast for 1 year.

TRAILER: The Telepathy Tapes Season Two: The Consciousness Channel

In season one, nonspeakers revealed that telepathy is real—challenging everything we thought we knew about the mind and reality itself. In the second season of The Telepathy Tapes, The Consciousness Channel, we're widening our lens to examine where exactly do these abilities come from and how far does consciousness expand? We’re turning to scientists, healers, artists, and survivors whose extraordinary ways of knowing have long been dismissed. From visions of the afterlife to sudden abilities that defy explanation, from the hidden intelligence of nature to experiences that dissolve the boundaries of self—each story asks us to rethink what consciousness really is. What if the world is not just material, but profoundly metaphysical? And what if by listening to those voices our culture has ignored for so long, we could uncover the deepest truths of who we are and where we’re going? Join us as we open the next channel—into the vast, uncharted territory of consciousness beyond the mind. The Telepathy Tapes Season 2 comes out October 15th wherever you get your podcasts!
