    The Epstein Files: Redactions, Power, and How to Stay Sane

    The latest Epstein file releases have shaken people to their core. Not just because of the crimes, but because of what they expose about power, accountability, redactions, and the systems many once believed were working behind the scenes. I’ve seen people say: Their brain is "breaking" They feel like their losing their mind They feel like they've lost grip on what's real and what's not In this episode, I’m not deep diving into graphic details or conspiracy speculation. Instead, we explore: • Why these revelations feel psychologically destabilizing • The impact of redactions and apparent lack of accountability • The worldview underneath organized harm • Why obsession and doom-scrolling feed the darkness • How to bear witness without losing yourself • Practical nervous system regulation during overwhelming news cycles This moment is uncomfortable. It is enraging. It is worldview-shifting, but awareness does not require self-destruction. Your nervous system matters more than the next update. If you are navigating burnout, spiritual awakening, or a major life shift and want support staying grounded while the world feels unstable, you can learn more here: www.thehigherhuman.com Schedule a session with me here Get grounded with my free ebook New episodes weekly.

    The Personal Tipping Point: When Life Forces You to Change

    What is your personal tipping point? That moment when life stops negotiating with you. When you do not change because you feel ready or motivated, but because staying the same has become unbearable. In this episode, I explore the personal tipping point. The event, decision, or realization that begins the avalanche of change and alters the trajectory of your life. We talk about: The most common catalysts for major life change, including burnout, loss, heartbreak, and identity crises Why change rarely feels planned, graceful, or stable at first How fear, environment, and lack of self-awareness can keep you stuck at the tipping point What radical change actually costs, emotionally, physically, and financially What emerges on the other side of the avalanche: awareness, courage, self-trust, and authenticity I also share my own story of hitting a tipping point through mental health struggles, identity exploration, harmful relationship dynamics, instability, and the slow process of rebuilding with intention and self-awareness. This episode is for anyone who feels stuck, burned out, disconnected, or on the edge of a major life shift and is wondering what comes next when the old structure falls away. Reflection from the Episode Ask yourself: What are you tolerating right now that is quietly costing you your peace? What thought keeps repeating that might be rooted in fear rather than truth? What is one small step you could take to prove movement is possible? You do not need the whole plan. You just need to stop betraying what you already know. Work With Me If you are navigating burnout, a spiritual awakening, identity shifts, or a major life transition, I offer 1:1 coaching to help you stabilize, gain clarity, and move forward with intention. 👉 Book a session: https://store.thehigherhuman.com/product-details/product/breakthrough-session Free Resource Download my free ebook designed to support clarity, regulation, and direction during periods of change: 👉 www.thehigherhuman.com/ebook Stay Connected Follow along for weekly content on purpose, healing, and conscious change: Website: www.thehigherhuman.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thehigherhuman/ If this episode resonated, please follow the podcast and share it with someone who might be standing at their own tipping point.

    When Your Brain Goes Offline (ADHD & Autism)

    Have you ever zoned out mid-conversation, forgotten what you were doing while doing it, or felt like your brain just… left? If you’re ADHD, autistic, or both, this isn’t laziness or a lack of effort. It’s nervous system overload. In this episode, neurodivergent life coach Ashley breaks down why ADHD and autistic brains “go offline,” how overstimulation leads to burnout, and what your nervous system is actually trying to tell you when you check out. You’ll learn: • Why zoning out isn’t a character flaw • The difference between distraction and nervous system shutdown • How overstimulation impacts focus, energy, and communication • Signs of ADHD and autistic burnout • Simple grounding and reset tools you can use anywhere • How to ask for what you need without guilt or masking Your brain checking out isn’t betraying you — it’s asking for relief. 🎧 Listen in and learn how to regulate your nervous system before burnout takes over.   👋 I’m Ashley, a neurodivergent life coach helping ADHD & autistic adults build lives that work with their nervous systems — not against them. 🔗 Work with me: https://store.thehigherhuman.com/product-details/product/neuro-nourish 📘 Free mindfulness ebook (Neurodiverse Ebook COMING SOON!: www.thehigherhuman.com/ebook 📺 Watch the video version on YouTube: https://youtu.be/YsHnGDB8h2M

    The Age of Disclosure Review: 4 Takeaways + What Comes Next

    Disclosure isn’t just about aliens — it’s about whether humanity is ready to evolve beyond war, secrecy, and scarcity. In this episode, I share my biggest takeaways after watching The Age of Disclosure and unpack the wider implications behind modern UAP conversations: alleged crash retrieval programs, reverse-engineering claims, oversight concerns, and why secrecy may be its own form of danger. We cover: Why this topic shifted into the mainstream (2017 + modern whistleblower claims) “UAP observables” that come up repeatedly in public discussion How compartmentalized secrecy and contractor pipelines are alleged to work Advanced propulsion concepts often referenced (including warp-bubble-style ideas) What changes if this tech is real: energy, travel, medicine, scarcity, and society The core question: what kind of future are we choosing? ⚠️ This episode is commentary/analysis based on public claims and reporting. Some details remain unverified and are discussed as allegations. 🔗 Free ebook: www.thehigherhuman.com/ebook Want to listen to a related podcast?: https://thehigherhuman.podbean.com/e/aliens-probably-exist-and-we-need-to-change/ 🧠 Book a session: https://store.thehigherhuman.com/product-details/product/breakthrough-session

    Feeling Stuck? Vulnerability Is the Key to Your 2026 Breakthrough

    What if vulnerability isn’t something to fix, but something to follow? In this episode of The Higher Human, we explore how vulnerability acts as an internal compass, pointing toward clarity, alignment, and meaningful change. Instead of forcing motivation or demanding certainty, we look at how honesty with yourself can calm the nervous system and reveal what’s actually ready to shift. This conversation covers: Why vulnerability is not weakness How triggers reveal deeper truths Fear of failure, fear of success, and self-sabotage Being seen, unmasking, and old survival patterns Healthy vulnerability in relationships Reframing limiting beliefs and choosing new stories End-of-year reflection and intentional change This episode is for anyone experiencing burnout, emotional overwhelm, identity shifts, or a spiritual awakening - especially those who feel sensitive, intuitive, or deeply affected by their environment. Your next chapter begins when you stop hiding from yourself. 🔗 Learn More & Work With Me 🌐 Website: https://www.thehigherhuman.com 🧠 Book a Session: https://store.thehigherhuman.com/product-details/product/breakthrough-session

    Missing the Joke: Why ADHD & Autistic Brains Struggle With Sarcasm

    Do you constantly wonder, “Wait… was that a joke?” If sarcasm, tone, metaphors, or deadpan humor confuse you — you are not alone. ADHD and autistic brains process non-literal language differently, which means jokes, sarcasm, and subtle social cues often take longer to decode… if we decode them at all. In this episode, I share: - Why neurodivergent people miss jokes or take things literally - How sarcasm and tone rely on processing systems that work differently in ADHD/autistic brains - Real stories of awkward moments, misunderstandings, and accidental dark humor - Why this has NOTHING to do with intelligence - What you can do to feel more confident in social situations without changing who you are If you’ve ever laughed at something that wasn’t a joke… or stood there silent while everyone else laughed — this episode will make you feel seen. About Me: I’m Ashley, a life coach helping neurodivergent adults find alignment, regulate their nervous systems, and build lives that actually fit how they function. New episodes every week.
