    A 2-Year Spiritually Transformative Experience: Seeing Light in Everyone | Rebecca Kastl (Episode 177)

    Rebecca Kastl, pediatric speech pathologist and healer, shares her profound two-year spiritually transformative experience that began when she had a spontaneous spiritual awakening while journaling at age 26. After surviving sexual trauma at 13 and spending years healing, Rebecca saw a beautiful light over her bed that looked into her heart, spoke to her, and changed everything. For the next two years, Rebecca saw glowing white light emanating from every person she encountered, had psychic dreams that accurately predicted a car accident and carbon monoxide poisoning with verifiable details, witnessed alternate timelines of her life, experienced a spontaneous life review feeling her sister's emotions in her body, and sensed the eclipse's energy physically. She remained fully functional as a Columbia graduate student while living between two worlds, until a vivid dream ended the experience and left her searching for meaning in the woods for years. Rebecca explains the difference between her soul and personality, why language for these experiences is limited by societal upbringing, how trauma opened her to spiritual reality despite being raised by an MD father with a PhD in biochemistry and a psychologist mother, what it means to see light in everyone, and why she now offers sacred soul sessions helping others heal and reconnect with their inner light.

    How Manifesting Transformed a Homeless Addict Into a Thriving Entrepreneur | Betty Guadagno (Bonus)

    Betty Guadagno, former homeless addict turned manifesting teacher, reveals how she used the Law of Attraction to rebuild her life from rock bottom and shares practical techniques for manifesting money, relationships, and abundance. Betty shares her transformation from drug addiction, homelessness, and prostitution to becoming a manifesting workshop leader after a life-changing near death experience. She explains why manifesting is not toxic positivity or bypassing real emotions, the difference between manifesting and mindset, and how the universe works as an echo chamber responding to your vibration. Betty breaks down the chakra system and which affirmations work best for different goals (I am, I feel, I have, I love, I speak, I see, I know), why money is the energy of love and not evil, and how to dismantle poverty consciousness and limiting beliefs around wealth. We discuss her concrete manifestation story of manifesting her first apartment with the exact amount needed appearing in her tax return, why you cannot fake your vibes or trick the universe, how to start with small manifestations like a Snickers bar to build confidence, the importance of taking action alongside visualization, why detachment from outcome is essential, and how rejection is redirection to something better. Betty explains why fear blocks manifestation, how to identify which chakra to use for affirmations, the power of writing things down with a pen, and why your romantic partners are spiritual mirrors showing you your own wounds.

    What a Paranormal Investigator Discovered After His Own Near Death Experience | AJ Capasso (Episode 176)

    AJ Capasso, paranormal investigator and near death experiencer, shares his journey from opioid addiction and 12 overdoses to founding an international paranormal podcast and investigating the mysteries of the afterlife. AJ survived a profound near death experience after his final overdose in 2014 during the opioid epidemic. He describes leaving his body, standing above two paramedics working on him, and being able to simultaneously exist in multiple places just by thought. He experienced a life review where he felt the pain he caused others through their eyes, traveled through hyperspace passing stars, and arrived at a vibrant landscape with colors he'd never seen, extinct animals like wooly mammoths, creatures that don't exist on Earth, and angels of all different sizes. A being of pure light 9-10 feet tall told him it wasn't his time before he was pulled back into his body when paramedics used the paddles.   After his NDE, AJ developed abilities to feel energy and presences in rooms, sense what people were feeling (hunger, anger, sadness), and feel crystals vibrating in his hand. He founded Coventry Circle Paranormal and launched Talking with the Source, an international podcast featuring paranormal teams, researchers, and experiencers from around the world. His most mind-blowing evidence includes a spirit box session where his friend's deceased wife predicted a future Mother's Day event six weeks in advance with impossible accuracy, and another session predicting a blood disease diagnosis two days before doctors discovered it.   Guest: AJ Capasso  Podcast Host and Founder of Talking with the Source + Paranormal Investigator  https://linktr.ee/talkingwiththesource ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Newsletter ⁠⁠⁠ |Patreon | Buy me a coffee More at: https://www.wtfjusthappened.net/ Full Show Notes

    Neuroscientist on Life After Death and Intuition | Marjorie Woollacott, Ph.D. (Episode 175)

    Marjorie Woollacott, PhD, a neuroscientist and emeritus professor at the University of Oregon, shares her journey from materialist scientist to consciousness researcher and her work on telepathy in children with nonspeaking autism, terminal lucidity, and near death experiences. Dr. Woollacott was a strict materialist who believed the brain creates consciousness until a meditation initiation changed everything. She describes feeling a current of electricity flow from her forehead to her heart, radiating pure joy and love throughout her body. Her worldview shifted overnight, though it took 25 years to integrate her neuroscience career with her meditation practice. She explains how she lived a double life, kicking her husband under the table at dinner parties when he'd mention energy healing, terrified of losing credibility with colleagues. We discuss her research on telepathy in nonspeaking autistic children, including a boy who typed five digit numbers with 99% accuracy by reading his mother's mind (compared to 5% above chance in typical adults). She addresses skeptics' concerns about agency and facilitated communication, explaining the rigorous controls in current studies. Dr. Woollacott shares her work on terminal lucidity, where people with severe dementia or brain damage regain full consciousness in their final hours, recognizing loved ones and saying goodbye before dying peacefully. She describes how this phenomenon challenges materialist neuroscience since damaged brains should not produce lucid consciousness.   The conversation covers Dr. Bettina Peyton's near death experience during childbirth when her heart stopped and she watched the resuscitation team save her life despite having her eyes taped shut. Marjorie explains how meditation and NDEs reduce neural filters (the default mode network, reticular activating system, language centers) that normally limit our awareness, allowing expanded consciousness and psi abilities. She discusses Ian Stevenson's reincarnation research, birthmark cases that match past life wounds, and why consciousness creating the body makes more sense than genes alone.

  6. Develop Your Psychic Abilities Through Fun + Competition | Hakim Isler, Psi Games Creator (Episode 174)

    Develop Your Psychic Abilities Through Fun + Competition | Hakim Isler, Psi Games Creator (Episode 174)

    Hakim Isler, creator of the Psi Games, reveals how anyone can develop psychic abilities through competitive training and why the next generation holds the key to humanity's evolution. Hakim shares his journey from ninja martial arts (ninjutsu, the art of perseverance) to military psychological operations, then remote viewing and Mindsight training with legendary remote viewers Paul Smith, Joe McMoneagle, and Dale Graff. He explains the difference between remote viewing (perceiving information at a distance) and Mindsight (seeing through blindfolds), why his best remote viewing happened when stressed and rushed (not calm and meditative), and Ingo Swann's principle: "You should be able to remote view in a foxhole." We discuss the Psi Games, a cross-generational conference featuring lectures, workshops, and tournament-style competitions in remote viewing, dowsing, and Mindsight. Hakim describes Dahlia's perfect Mindsight run in under one minute that earned a standing ovation and inspired hundreds to start training, and how the event grew from 100 to 620 attendees in year one. The conversation covers Hakim's childhood experiences (walking at eight months as a sign for his mother to leave abuse, predicting lottery numbers at nine, declaring he'd become a ninja and fulfilling that prophecy 12 years later), his out-of-body experience receiving messages about protecting planets from low vibrational entities, why ethical mentorship matters for young people developing psi abilities, and his palm leaf reading confirming past life experiences. This episode is for anyone interested in developing psychic abilities, parents noticing unusual abilities in children, or those seeking practical psi training.

    Your Pet Is Trying to Talk to You… Here's How to Listen | Animal Communicator Olivia LaBarre (Episode 173)

    Olivia LaBarre, animal communicator and Reiki practitioner, reveals how animals communicate with us—both while living and after they've passed. She explains how she receives messages from animals (visual images, physical sensations, emotions, and "just knowing"), why animal communication comes more clearly than human mediumship, and how wild animals communicate differently than companion animals. Olivia shares remarkable verified readings: Tinkerbelle the cat who sent circus tent images (her guardian had a circus tent tattoo, photo sets, and passed them daily going to cancer treatments), and a cat in spirit who promised to send another cat to the yard—then a mountain lion appeared, made eye contact, groomed itself, and visited for days. We also discuss Enzo, the spirited white dog with congestive heart failure who told his grieving family to stop anticipatory mourning and have fun together—leading to the best summer of their lives before he peacefully transitioned on his 15th gotcha day anniversary. The conversation covers how animals understand death and aren't afraid of it, why they're okay with you getting new pets after they pass (and often help you find them), whether our deceased animals are together on the other side, signs from animals in spirit, and practical tips for communicating with your own pets. Olivia also explains Reiki for animals, how it's helped cats with congestive heart failure improve unexpectedly, and the beautiful experience of being energetically connected with animals as they transition (sparkles, bright colors, feelings of freedom). This episode is for anyone grieving a pet, wanting to communicate with living or deceased animals, or curious about the bond that transcends death.

    Amplify Your Intuition at The Omega Institute | Karen Bell, Channeler + Clairvoyant

    Karen Bell, internationally recognized clairvoyant and channeler, joins the show to discuss her upcoming Omega Institute workshop, Amplify Your Intuition: A Guided Journey to Trusting Your Inner Wisdom. She explains how to distinguish genuine intuitive guidance from protective anxiety patterns, why intuition manifests differently for different people (visual, auditory, or physical sensations), and why reducing stress is essential for accessing clear decision-making. Karen shares her story of closing a successful Etsy shop to follow an illogical nudge that led to channeling Sarai, a non-physical being who now informs her teaching. We discuss how intuition feels persistent and gentle (unlike urgent fear-based thoughts), why your body is a psychic instrument that constantly signals what feels aligned, and how to create calm in your nervous system to hear your inner wisdom clearly. The conversation covers practical tools for recognizing your unique intuitive voice, why people get stuck not in receiving guidance but in trusting and acting on it, and who should attend the workshop (anyone who overthinks, second-guesses, or struggles to take action on their guidance). This episode is for anyone navigating major life transitions, questioning career or relationships, feeling disconnected from their intuition, or wanting to develop a deeper relationship with their inner knowing.
