    No More Mr. Nice Guy: The Dragonfly Awakens | Ryan Uhle

    This conversation is raw, unfiltered healing in real time. Ryan Uhle walks in carrying every paradox: molested as a kid, Tourette’s, parents swapping spouses, the wealthy-abusive mansion versus the poor-loving apartment, the “nice guy” mask that kept him small. Then there's a heroic-dose of mushrooms that retrieves deep buried memories, the move to Oregon on a hunch that psilocybin would be legalized, building Multidimensional Training, and finally stepping fully into his dragonfly self... proudly phallic, deeply feminine, and unapologetically becoming whole. Our talk explores women taking back their masculinity while men cling to insecurity, the marriage of divine masculine & feminine inside every unique body, and the “No More Mr. Nice Guy” journey. Ryan Uhle is a man becoming the leader of love he was always meant to be... creating space and handing you the flow prop, watching you invent something new on the trampoline, and reminding us that heaven and hell are right now.

    Healing Through Intuition, Spiritual Guides & Vision Quests | Christopher Hupp

    In this deeply moving and expansive conversation, Michael Avery sits down with Christopher Hupp, an intuitive massage therapist, Reiki Master, and Meridian Massage practitioner whose work bridges ancient wisdom, energy medicine, and heartfelt spiritual guidance. Christopher shares his extraordinary journey from a debilitating back injury and open-heart surgery, to studying directly under an 83-year-old master healer, to embarking on multiple Native American vision quests that forever changed how he perceives reality. Together, they explore the parable of the blind men and the elephant, the importance of moving from head to heart, forgiving ourselves and others, and remembering that love is the primordial soup we all swim in. This episode is a masterclass in perspective-shifting, intuitive healing, and living as a conscious expression of emotion and spirit. Guest Bio: Christopher is the owner of Wise Hands Massage in Oregon. He combines therapeutic massage, Meridian Massage (a technique he learned directly from his mentor), Reiki, and direct guidance from spirit to help clients release pain, trauma, and energetic blocks so they can remember who they truly are.

    In this special collab, Weird Fruits (Marebear & Stevie) joins Michael for a playful, profound dive into Joan Osborne's "One of Us"... sparking reflections on seeing God in the everyday, somatic receiving of compliments, mortal-immortal balance, belonging as Earth's "fruit," and sacred fruit rituals (red kiwi fireworks, pomelo sunrises).

A joyful, curiosity-fueled mashup of podcasts, perfect for weird fruits and seekers questioning the divine in the details.

    From Fatherless Shadows to Hopeful Identity | John Patrick Rist

    In this unfiltered sit-down, John Patrick Rist unpacks his life's raw edges: childhood shadows of fear, family fractures, spiritual quests through drugs and Eastern paths, and a seismic surrender to Jesus at 19. We wander through terror, identity wounds, and the pursuit of unshakeable truth, touching on unwanted same-sex attraction, demonic dread, and the quiet war between light and lies. No polished answers here, just the truth of what one human sees when he opens his eyes.
