If you are sick of the toxic positivity, gaslighting, and "snake oil" running rampant in the modern manifestation space, you are not alone. In this episode of Spirituality for Skeptics, host Nicole sits down with Taylor Perkins—spiritual teacher, intuitive guide, and author of It Is—to strip away the superficial fluff of the self-help industry and look at how reality actually operates.Taylor shares his wild journey from growing up in a high-control Mormon household and making millions in finance, to losing absolutely everything and undergoing a profound spiritual cracking-open. Together, they break down why forcing your goals through rigid vision boards usually backfires, how to stop treating yourself like a non-stop "self-improvement project," and what it actually means to align your internal environment so the external world has no choice but to reflect it back to you.Host: Nicole SpencerGuest: Taylor PerkinsExecutive Producers: Glenn Milley https://www.instagram.com/goforglenn and Bessie Fong https://www.instagram.com/bessiefongNew episodes air every Tuesday.

Raised without spirituality or religion, she never expected to find herself on this path. In her mid-30s, mentors and personal experiences opened her to curiosity about the unseen, inspiring her to create a space where others could explore freely without dogma or prescription.Before launching the show, Nicole built and sold two coaching companies at different stages of her career. Most recently, she scaled a business coaching brand to 8-figures in six years, generating over $13 million in that time. The success was rewarding and she remains grateful for it, but even at the height of achievement she sensed there was something more. Stepping away, she turned her focus to the deeper pursuit of peace, fulfillment, and meaning.Through unpolished, emotionally honest stories, Spirituality for Skeptics offers a rare space for those who doubt but long to believe.
