    The Spiritual Awakening That Brought Down NXIVM

    In this powerful joint episode between Remember Your Greatness with Mark Vicente and Your Quantum Life with Bonnie Piesse, Bonnie shares the extraordinary story of her spiritual awakening in 2016—the experience that ultimately led to her seeing through the NXIVM cult and triggering its downfall. Bonnie describes her self-imposed 10-day  meditation retreat in Marina Del Rey, where she confronted what she calls "the abyss"—a dark, infinite void that paradoxically contained everything. On July 7, 2016 (7-7), she broke through her fear barriers and experienced a profound Kundalini awakening filled with light, joy, and what she describes as "light codes" rewiring her DNA. For three months, Bonnie lived in a state of bliss and fearlessness—completely free from the unworthiness and self-doubt that had kept her trapped in the cult's control structure. But when she shared her experience, the cult's leadership responded with hostility and ridicule, revealing the true nature of the organization. This is the untold story behind HBO's The Vow—how one woman's spiritual breakthrough gave her the clarity and courage to see the truth and eventually help bring down one of the most notorious cults in recent history. Bonnie Piesse is a soul alignment and manifestation coach, actress (Star Wars) and host of the podcast "Your Quantum Life." She helps conscious leaders and visionaries remember who they really are and step into their true power and light.

    Remembering the Future 2026

    In this special New Year's episode, I guide listeners through a "Remembering the Future" visioning process for 2026. Rather than wishing for what we want from a place of lack, this practice invites you to place yourself in December 2026—already having achieved your dreams—and feel the gratitude and emotion of being there. I share my own experiences with this approach, from seeing my name on screen at Cannes to creating What the Bleep, and explain why focusing on the "what" rather than the "how" opens up possibilities we can't predict. This is a guided visioning session where we spend quiet time together stepping into our future selves, allowing whatever voices or doubts arise, and connecting with the feelings of having already arrived at our dreams. This process isn't about perfection or silencing your inner critic—it's about allowing everything to be present while you inhabit the future you're being pulled toward. Note: This is a meditative experience. Please don't listen while driving.

    Just Say Yes! (from Cape Town)

    In this episode, I talk about what happens when you stop waiting to be ready. While I was in Cape Town, I decided — almost on a dare to myself — to climb Table Mountain again, something I hadn’t done since my twenties. The climb became a metaphor for everything we avoid when we tell ourselves we’ll start later: the creative project, the hard conversation, the change we know is overdue. What I discovered is that readiness is a myth. You grow by saying yes first — and letting the journey shape you. This episode is about commitment, courage, and the power of deciding before you feel prepared. If you’ve been standing at the base of your own mountain — creative, emotional, or otherwise — this conversation is an invitation to stop waiting and start climbing.

    Coming Home to the Present (From Cape Town)

    This episode was completely unplanned. I recorded it while standing on Signal Hill in Cape Town, in front of Table Mountain — the city where I grew up, and where a lot of my early spiritual awakening (and trauma) began. Being here brought up so many memories: gratitude for my family and this stunning place… but also the echoes of a difficult childhood. I realized how easily I’d slipped into the past — and how much peace returned the moment I came back to the present. This episode is about that moment: remembering how simple it is to be here, now. When we’re truly present, the past and future lose their grip — and what remains feels like love. For info about my MENTORING: www.markvicente.com/mentoring

    Dreaming Big (Even When It Terrifies You)

    Why does dreaming big sometimes feel terrifying? Why do we hit walls of fear, procrastination, and self-sabotage just when we start aiming higher? In this episode of Remember Your Greatness, I share my own journey of chasing big dreams — from Hollywood sets to filmmaking — and what I learned about the resistance that shows up along the way. I discuss: • Why old conditioning makes dreaming feel dangerous • The real reason fear shows up when we aim higher • Practical tools for working with fear (naming it, embodiment, micro-steps, connecting with your future self) • Why spending time with other dreamers is essential • Stories of clients and my own experience of breaking through walls Big dreams aren’t just about reaching the destination. Even if you don’t get exactly what you imagined, you’ll become more than you ever thought possible along the way.

    My Coaching Session with Kyle Cease: Facing Fear, Control, and Vulnerability

    In this episode of Remember Your Greatness, I sit down with comedian-turned-transformational teacher Kyle Cease. What starts as a conversation turns into a live coaching session — with me on the receiving end. We talk about fear, control, the illusion of money, and what it means to live from the soul instead of the mind. This one is raw and vulnerable. I let myself be guided into territory I normally keep private. Kyle’s insights about presence, letting go, and trusting what wants to emerge really hit home. If you’ve ever wrestled with fear, money stories, or the urge to control everything — this conversation is for you.

    Welcome to "Remember Your Greatness"

    I’m Mark Vicente — filmmaker (What the Bleep Do We Know?!), author, speaker, spiritual geek, and cult whistleblower (HBO’s The Vow). Some of you might also know me from my darker podcast, WTF is On My Mind?!, where I’ve spent years diving into the shadows — cults, coercive control, narcissism, and the abuse of spirituality. Private Mentoring: https://www.markvicente.com/mentoring This channel is different. Remember Your Greatness is where I step out of the “spiritual closet” and finally bring forward the conversations that have fueled my private life, filmmaking and mentoring work for years. Here, we’ll explore questions like: • What is the nature of existence? • How do we reclaim spirituality — and creativity — on our own terms? • What’s the line between bypassing life and fully embodying it? • How do we step into our authentic voice and message in the world? • And seriously… what the heck is enlightenment? I’ll be honest: I’m nervous about this. I don’t want to be seen as an authority or have anyone give up their autonomy. I don’t have “the answers.” What I do have is lived experience — the curiosity, the missteps, the breakthroughs, and the wonder. So don’t expect polish or perfection. Expect real, unfiltered conversations — sometimes just me, sometimes with guests — about spirituality, creativity, healing, integrity, and the courage it takes to embody who we really are. If you’re curious about your own greatness, and want to explore life without dogma, coercion, or fakery — you’re in the right place.
