    A Reintroduction to The Womb with Psychedelic Mushrooms | with Leslie Draffin

    Text our show Key Takeaways: - How Psychedelics can help uncover deep-seated trauma and emotional pain. - Signs of Trauma in the womb: numbness, pain, irregular cycles, endo, PCOS. - New ways of Cycle syncing for non-bleeding women & External vulva touch and gradual internal dearmoring as release. Certified Trauma-Informed Somatic Practitioner and Womb Mystic, Leslie Draffin wants to remind women that our bodies already know the way back to wholeness (acknowledging that we are already whole, we just need to reclaim it) —and all you need is a system to support that. We explore how micro-dosing psilocybin, nervous system work, and cycle syncing help women move from numb, disconnected and overthinking to grounded, clear, and self-led. Cosigning equal doses of science backed work, with spiritually-"the woo".  As an adopted, preacher's daughter, who contracted herpes during early sexual experiences, she openly discusses her personal experience with the feeling of being disconnected from her body, and the shame and disdain she felt about herself- highlighting that trauma and emotional pain often gets stored in the womb. She speaks on the prevailing feeling of needing to do everything “right”, in the Western model, and yet, still feeling stuck. She shares a powerful turning point: invoking the mother archetype during a guided journey, confronting grief, leaving a 15-year career, and choosing sobriety. Highlighting that you can transition from the maiden to the mother archetype without having children.

    Learn Your Life Path by Trying This... | Alexander Dunlop & Viki Scudiery

    Text our show Key Takeaways: - Source Cards- a unique tool for self-discovery and spiritual awakening. - The distinction between Source Cards & Tarot: presence vs prediction.  - The link between Source Cards, ancient civilizations and their texts. Alexander and Viki whips out what one would consider an ordinary deck of 52 cards, demonstrating how they hold a precise map of who you are and how you move through life- using a mathematical system that assigns each person a life path. The Source Cards, as they call it, is based on a fixed algorithm and the visual logic of pip patterns—simple symbols that point to surprisingly accurate insights.  Alexander shares his philosophy, his studies across various esoteric teachings and his channelled knowledge of how the cards work; while Viki, lends her energy healing background and intuitive reading abilities to ground the ideas- helping us to understand how we can apply these larger concepts into our daily lived experiences, so that we can truly begin to embody what it means to be and live in alignment with who we are meant to be. We dig into the difference between Source Cards and Tarot, linking the 52-card structure to sacred geometry, and ancient Sumerian tablets. That lens reframes the deck as a compact “book” of the building blocks of reality- not just archetypal stories. The goal isn’t prediction. It’s learning to play your cards well. Practical takeaways include using daily card energies as a mindful check-in, mapping your 13-card life path (birth, personality, gifts, shadow), and applying the Saturn card to balance one's health.

    Born In Sin ??? - Born Divine, Not Broken | with Reginald Martin

    Text our show Key Takeaways: - The true meaning behind the concept of sin- a word used to describe opposition or adversary, not evil, as most of us have been taught. - Our imagination is a portal to other worlds, dimensions and very real places we often dismiss as unrealistic.  - There is no such thing as being fully healed before getting into a relationship, because it is through being in relation to one another, that various aspects of ourselves emerges to the surface. Spiritual educator and Metaphysician, Reginald Martin wants you to know that the truth you’ve been seeking has been inside you all along. We unpack how unconscious religious conditioning strips our self worth, shapes our relationships, and even echoes through our health. Reginald talks about his strict religious upbringing, to his eventual discovery of the ancient teachings of Kemet, where he found concepts that inspired Greek philosophy and seeded early Christian ideas. The big shift: moving from “born sinful” to “born divine,” and from an external judge to an inner compass grounded in Ma’at—truth, balance, and reciprocity. We explore how opposition works as a teacher rather than as a tormentor, by reframing the concepts of sin and satan, originally known as Set (ST) in ancient Kemet- which is described as an adversary, not evil. That reframe dissolves spiritual bypass and the habit of 'blaming the devil' for our misdeeds and misfortunes. Restoring accountability, where real growth can actually happen, and highlighting the Inner Christ as a living archetype—one that invites practice, not perfection. We flow from practical to profound: relationships as mirrors, imagination as a portal to insight, and how to upload peace to the collective field so others can “download” it. If you’ve felt the crack between what you were taught and what your body feels and knows, this is a grounded map back to sovereignty, clarity, and compassion.

    Death is Not The End | with Gloria Battini

    Text our show Key Takeaways: - Intuitive abilities are not special gifts, they are innate skills that are available to all of us. It is up to each individual to decide to train and exercise those abilities. - Most deaths are actual exit points that our souls are aware of. - Boundaries validates to ourselves and alerts the external world, how we should be treated and hence how the world should communicate/interact with us. Psychic Medium, Energy Healer & Transformational Mentor, Gloria Battini has blessed us with an empowering message- that when we lose a loved one, our connection to them does not end, it evolves; that we are never alone and that what we call God, is already within every person. Gloria touches on her transition from a strict Catholic upbringing, to decisive action and self-trust, unpacking how, mentorship and her personal knowledge of astrology, helped her to embrace her psychic abilities and embark on her current path. She speaks on practising ethical responsibility, highlighting that mediumship, while intense, is profoundly uplifting. Her stories are detailed and verifiable: a stack of pancakes with a single raspberry, a red rose, and her grandma helping her to cross over lost souls- each example showing how love continues with texture and meaning. We also tackle hard questions with care. What is a “lost” soul, how does children, miscarriages, and abortion look through a spiritual lens? and why does war and misused power distort our collective intuition? Gloria argues that intention directs energy. She differentiates spirits from thought forms, cuts through fears about hauntings, and offers grounded advice- that the physical world is far scarier than the spiritual. Please continue to share with your circle and anyone you think might resonate with these conversations.

    We Are All... ON THE SPECTRUM | with Bianca Thomas

    Text our show Key Takeaways: - Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps reshape thoughts and beliefs. - Personal trauma can significantly impact mental health and relationships. Your past and your trauma only defines you to the degree that you allow it to.  - Acknowledging your pain is the first step to healing. Licensed mental health counselor Bianca Thomas, blends cognitive behavioural therapy with warmth, humor, and lived experience, showing how honest self-examination can move you from pretending to be okay to actually building a life that feels stable, meaningful, and yours. Bianca opens up about growing up in a strict, image-driven environment, and the relationship that compounded her pain. She explains how she recognized patterns consistent with borderline personality disorder and what changed when a business partner challenged her to do the real inner work. Bianca speaks to the need for awareness, personal responsibility and getting the help we need. She emphasizes that we've all at one point fallen on the spectrum of various mental health disorders, due to the symptoms we generally tend to experience while dealing with life's challenges. We dig into stigma, speaking on why asking for help still feels risky, how shame keeps people stuck, and why labels describe clusters of human experiences rather than moral flaws. We conclude with a final takeaway that, you can’t control where you started, but you can choose the meaning you make from it and the behaviours you practice next.  All links to our guest's work and official site Website ➡️ https://evolveventurestech.com  YouTube ➡️ @EvolvewithBianca  TikTok ➡️ https://www.tiktok.com/@evolvewithbianca Instagram ➡️ https://www.instagram.com/evolvewithbianca/ Books Mentioned: The Myth of Normal: Trauma, Illness and Healing in a Toxic Culture, Dr. Gabor Maté with Daniel Maté Support the show Connect with us!!!

    Ghost Helping... Not Ghost Busting | with Tina Erwin

    Text our show Key Takeaways: - Sage, salt, palo santo & candles are ineffective for clearing dense energy. - Predecessor energy influences locations long after events occur as spaces contains the energetic memories of past events. - The Crossing Over Prayer can help any soul, regardless of circumstances. What if ghosts aren’t here to scare us, but to ask for help? We explore this in a gripping, deeply compassionate conversation with Ghost Helper and former Navy Commander Tina Erwin, who rethinks everything from hauntings and lingering energy, to how we die and what comes next. Instead of “getting rid” of spirits, Tina teaches why guiding them to the light is an act of service that calms homes, heals families, and eases our fear of death. We walk through Tina’s early haunting in Charleston—a one-story house with footsteps overhead, dishes clinking in an empty kitchen, and a night when a presence quietly held her hand. Those experiences moved her from terror to purpose. She explains why some souls cross easily, and why others hesitate due to, sudden endings, guilt, fear of religious persecution, grief of leaving loved ones, confusion or spontaneously forming an attachment to a living Being. But more importantly is the compassion we can offer in helping souls transition into the light. Tina speaks about practical tools for clearing dense energy - go figure, it is neither sage, candles, palo santo nor salt. This is a warm, grounded guide for anyone who’s felt a room go cold, wondered about a lingering presence, or faced the approaching end of life with dread. Listen to learn how service dissolves fear, why places remember, and how love leads the way home.  All links to our guest's work and official site Website ➡️ https://ghosthelpers.com YouTube ➡️ Ghost Helpers @ghosthelpers5675 LinkedIn ➡️ https://www.linkedin.com/in/tina-erwin-0a5b8919/ Books Mentioned in This Episode: The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying Support the show Connect with us!!!

    CAPITAL… Your New God | with Aaron Scott

    Text our show Key Takeaways: -  Identity is often shaped by societal norms and expectation. Reclaiming autonomy and recognizing the interconnectedness of all things is essential for reforming true identity.  - Anything that we’ve created, we can change.  - Your thoughts and your emotions are not who you are, you are just experiencing them.  If you’ve ever felt successful on paper yet disconnected at your core, you need to listen to this. Aaron Scott—former Wall Street professional turned personal development coach— traces how performance culture, consumerism, and institutionalized religion quietly program identity and numb our natural sense of the sacred. Aaron is raw and relatable.  He unpacks the illusion of separation and why it’s the master story beneath so much fear, anxiety and burnout- expanding on the institutionalization of religion and how over time, the feminine was suppressed, while the masculine was  overextended, and balance lost. Aaron identifies this shift as one that altered our belief systems, shaped our nervous systems, our workplaces and our moral compass- connecting the dots between shareholder primacy, extraction, and the way we treat our own energy as an endlessly scalable resource. Aaron further examines AI - as a mirror of our values—not the destiny of human consciousness, but the endpoint of a narrow, calculative model of mind. This conversation doesn’t stop at critique; it offers a path back to wholeness, as Aaron shares clear, grounded practices for reclaiming inner sovereignty: meditation and breath work to reduce reactivity, reframing thoughts to break performance scripts, and everyday choices that restore reciprocity—rest, real food, presence, and limits that honour our biology. Opening room for a lived spirituality where consciousness participates in reality.

    HE DIED: Saw The Future & Multiple Realities: NDE EXPERIENCE | with Dennis Bullock

    Text our show Key Takeaways: -  Earth is a SOUL and is transitioning to a higher dimension (5D). The shift in human vibration is gradual, not sudden. - Emotions serve as a thermometer for our vibrational state. -  Blessing your food before eating, can change its energy and positively impact your health. A world-touring singer and sax player tells us the story of how he left his body and froze a water drop mid-air, with just a wave of his hand - all after previously avoiding, what could have been his first brush with death. This compelling, jaw dropping, life altering story, of an Afterlife Visitation and Near Death Experience takes us through the doorway of what it means to see Life wholly, in its full spectrum.  Upon returning to life on earth, Dennis quickly recognized the development of spiritual abilities, he had no prior experience with- which he now uses to help guide and heal others. The spiritual 'downloads' stayed, and his life pivoted from relentless ambition to a calmer, service-led path of energy work, healing, and music with meaning. He explains timelines, star-seeds, and why vibration is the most practical daily compass. Low states like fear, anger, and blame drain health, and attract friction. High states—joy, gratitude, creativity, time in nature—clear the way for better choices, kinder people, and real momentum. Come for the near-death story; stay for a framework you can use to feel better now. If this conversation expands your view or unsettles an old belief, sit with it, test it, and see what proves true in your own life. If you found value here, follow the show, share it with a friend who’s ready for a perspective shift, and leave a quick review to help more curious minds find us.
