The Ascension Protocol What does it mean for humanity to evolve beyond its current form? Join us as we explore the frontiers of human potential—from technological augmentation and artificial intelligence to consciousness expansion and collective awakening. Each episode examines how breakthrough discoveries in neuroscience, transhumanism, space exploration, and spiritual practice might converge to fundamentally transform what it means to be human. We speak with different spiritual & scientific entrepreneurs that have learned what it means to become aligned with their path and purpose, discussing a wide range of topics that explain terminology and multidimensional concepts related to both individual and the collective ascension or awakening. There are also bonus episodes weaved in that are real stories, told by real people, sharing their own personal journeys, inspiring hope, sharing resources, and shedding light on how differently personal growth can look for each individual.  This is more than futurism—it's an investigation into humanity's oldest dream: to become more than we are.

    Running and Returning: Hebrew Mysticism, Conscious Collaboration & Rebuilding Systems with Simon Mont

    Send us Fan Mail What if the systems we keep trying to fix are the actual problem? And what does it look like to rebuild them from the ground up while staying rooted in something sacred? In this episode, Heather sits down with Simon Mont — organizational development consultant, facilitator, and Hebrew mystic — for one of the most layered and fascinating conversations on the show. Simon has spent more than a decade at the intersection of consciousness, collaboration, and systemic change, asking one central question: how do we work together in a way that doesn’t turn us into people we don’t want to be? From a school teacher to a law student to a community organizer to an organizational architect — Simon kept running into the same pattern. Systems with good intentions creating the same old problems. So he started building something different. In this conversation, Simon and Heather explore: •  How to meet people at the exact point of their pain to create lasting organizational change •  Why solving a Slack coordination problem became the entry point to dismantling a whole leadership hierarchy •  The relationship between individual inner work and systemic change — and why both directions matter simultaneously •  The role of psychedelics in expanding consciousness — and why integration is the part nobody talks about •  The Hebrew mystical concept of running and returning — how we access peak states and then embody their truth in ordinary life •  Kabbalah, Merkava mysticism, astral travel, ancient entheogens, and how all spiritual traditions are weaving the same tapestry •  Why the more rooted you are in your own lineage the less threatened you feel by everyone else’s •  The one question Simon would ask everyone: what are you truly serving? Simon works at the intersection of elevated consciousness and practical action. Find him at harmonize.work. This episode is for anyone who has glimpsed through the illusion — and is now trying to figure out what to do about it.

    When Death Becomes Certain, Life Becomes Rich: Living Intentionally with Stan Gibson

    Send us Fan Mail Why do we wait for a diagnosis, a layoff, or a crisis before we decide to actually live? In this episode, Heather sits down with Stan Gibson — motivational speaker, executive coach, podcaster, and author of Living a Rich and Intentional Life — for a conversation about what it takes to stop running on autopilot and start living with real intention. Stan spent four decades in corporate America, spent years making hard decisions about other people’s jobs, and when his own number came up he was at his desk the next morning at 8am — because he’d been quietly building his real life on the side for over a decade. His story is a masterclass in preparation meeting purpose. The story that started it all: a close friend received a cancer diagnosis with a 50/50 shot at five years. Instead of collapsing, that friend resigned his CEO position, took his kids on individual trips, started painting, and said something Stan has never forgotten: when death becomes certain, life becomes rich. In this conversation, Stan and Heather get into: •  The neuroscience of exercise — what BDNF actually does to your brain and why you’re never too old to grow •  Why purpose is the number one predictor of longevity — above diet, above exercise •  The simple question that reveals whether your priorities match your energy: what are your five most important things, and where are you actually spending your time? Stan is currently transitioning to Thrive CXO and offers free resources at https://leadwithstan.com/ — including a neuroscience-based guide to sleep, nutrition, exercise and meditation, and a free assessment called From Chaos to Clarity. You can also find his book here: Living a Rich and Intentional Life This episode is for anyone who has been waiting for the right moment to start living fully. The moment is now.

    Why Not Me: 9/11, Cancer & the Inner Work That Changed Everything with Craig Sotkovsky

    Send us Fan Mail What does it take to go from “why me” to “why not me” — and mean it? In this episode, Heather sits down with Craig Sotkovsky — 9/11 first responder, cancer survivor, entrepreneur, and coach — for a raw and powerful conversation about what it actually looks like to alchemize the worst experiences of your life into something that helps other people. Craig was at the World Trade Center for two days in the first five days after 9/11. Thirteen years later he’s still navigating the health fallout. He’s had multiple surgeries, been told he might be dying when the doctor hadn’t even looked at his paperwork, and had a moment where his throat closed completely and he had to slow his whole body down just to breathe. And through all of it, he found his way to peace. In this conversation, Craig and Heather get into: •  How epigenetics and the reticular activating system explain why your mindset literally changes your biochemistry •  Why doing the dark work — really facing your shadow — is where your light begins •  The difference between your story and your emotional attachment to it — and why releasing that attachment is true healing •  Why nobody is coming to save you — and why that’s actually the best news you’ll ever hear •  What it means to be the villain in someone else’s story and the hero in your own •  Why 2026 is the year the old systems collapse — and what comes next •  How relationships change when two people are actually healed Craig is currently based in Merida, Mexico, preparing for a national mental health and cancer awareness tour for the 25th anniversary of 9/11, and writing his new book Coming from Jersey. This one is for anyone who has ever felt less than, like they’re letting people down, or like the obstacles keep coming. They do. And you can become someone for whom obstacles are just problems to solve.

    From Survival Mode to Wholeness: Healing the Inner World with Kristina Perez

    Send us Fan Mail What happens when you stop letting your trauma, your ego, and your nervous system drive the car — and finally take the wheel yourself? In this episode, Heather sits down with Kristina Perez — energetics practitioner, breathwork facilitator, coach, and the creator behind the Healing Bestie Kristina platform — for a deeply honest conversation about the healing journey that brought them both to this work. Kristina shares her story of going from a chaotic, traumatic upbringing and years of survival mode to quitting drinking, losing 90 pounds, leaving nursing, and ultimately building a thriving platform that helps thousands of people come back into their wholeness. And she did most of it in less than a year. Together, Heather and Kristina get into: •  Why so many healers and lightworkers walked through darkness before finding their light •  The difference between traditional therapy and energy-based healing — and why one moves so much faster •  How to talk to your body, your pain, and your nervous system — and actually get answers •  What it means to stop being a passenger in your own life and become the driver •  The real difference between seeking happiness and finding peace •  Why 2026 is the year of rising — and how you fit into that collective shift •  QHHT, family constellation work, breathwork, spinal energetics, and the modalities that go where talk therapy can’t This one is for anyone who has ever felt like they were drowning and couldn’t find a way out. The tools exist. The path is simpler than you think. And peace — real, lasting peace — is absolutely attainable.

    The Walk of Subtraction — Bill Pautler on Practical Spirituality, Kundalini Awakening & Peeling Back the Layers

    Send us Fan Mail What if enlightenment isn't something you have to find — it's something you already have, buried under decades of conditioning, trauma, and beliefs that were never actually yours? Bill Pautler has been walking the spiritual path for over 40 years. He started in the Catholic church running a book club — with a priest approving his reading list — and eventually watched his entire religious framework collapse at a stoplight when he started questioning whether original sin made any sense at all. What came after that collapse was a 40-year journey through mysticism, Kundalini awakening, Franciscan monks, life coaches who sold brownies at expos, and a deeply practical philosophy he calls the 'walk of subtraction.' In this conversation, Bill and Heather explore: •       The walk of subtraction — why spiritual growth is about peeling away, not adding on •       What it actually means to be 'enlightened' (hint: you already are) •       The gift of tears — what it is, how it works, and how to recognize it in yourself •       A spontaneous Kundalini awakening in a coffee shop — fire coming out of everyone's eyes, 60 days of barely sleeping, and falling madly in love with every stranger in the room •       Why triggers are always about you — and why that's actually good news and much more! Whether you came from a religious background and left it, or you're deep in the spiritual work and want a grounded framework to anchor to — this episode will feel like a long conversation with someone who's been exactly where you are. About Bill Pautler: Bill is a multi-time entrepreneur and author of Awakening to Ourselves: The Practical Art of Building a Spiritually Aware Life. His brand, Sage Life (Spiritual Awareness, Growth, and Enlightenment), is built on the belief that spirituality is practical, personal, and already inside every one of us. awakeningtoourselves.com | sagelife.org Support the show 🔮 Work with Me: https://www.divineascensionco.com 🌟 Learn more about my signature 14-step awakening program: https://www.divineascensionco.com/the-self-spirit-method ⚡ Egypt Pilgrimage 2026: Join me for a sacred journey to Egypt in September 2026.

    Sacred Sites, ET Memories & the Truth Buried Beneath the Pyramids | Dr. Lisa Thompson Returns

    Send us Fan Mail Dr. Lisa Thompson — evolutionary biologist, ET consciousness researcher, and UFO tour guide — returns to the show for a conversation that goes deep into the energy of the world's most sacred sites and what she's received from them.   Heather and Lisa compare their firsthand experiences in Egypt, explore why the tour guides in both Egypt and Peru stick to scripts that don't hold up scientifically, and get into what they both believe those sites were actually built for — and by whom.   In this episode: •       The energetic differences between Egypt, Peru, Sedona, and Bali — and what each place activates •       Why the official Egyptology and Incan history stories don't add up — and what Lisa and Heather believe is closer to the truth •       Lisa's QHHT past life session where she witnessed the actual building of the pyramids — including the sound and thought levitation technology used to move megalithic stones •       The Serapeum at Saqqara — those massive granite boxes — and what Lisa and Heather independently received about their real purpose •       ET involvement in human DNA upgrades and why giving technology without spiritual development led to the fall of ancient civilizations •       Astrocartography — how the stars at your birth map locations around the world where you'll thrive, and why it explains the places that have always called to you •       UFO sightings in Sedona that eventually led Lisa to start a UFO tour company in Hawaii •       The sacred sites still on their lists — Uluru, Mount Shasta, Scotland, Ireland, and beyond   Dr. Lisa Thompson is an evolutionary biologist, ET consciousness researcher, and founder of UFO tours in Hawaii. She leads groups to sacred sites around the world and helps bridge scientific and galactic frameworks for understanding human history and evolution.

    Why You're Stuck Even When You're Motivated — Kam Knight on Internal Resistance

    Send us Fan Mail You have the motivation. You know what you want. So why aren't you doing it?   In this episode, Heather sits down with Kam Knight — researcher, author, and expert in the psychology of the mind — to explore one of the most misunderstood forces in personal growth: internal resistance.   Internal resistance isn't laziness. It isn't a lack of motivation. It's a specific psychological barrier that operates independently from the part of your brain that generates desire — and understanding it changes everything.   In this conversation, Kam and Heather discuss: •       What internal resistance actually is — and why it's not what most people think •       The 'wanting mechanism' and how unlimited desires create paralysis •       Why 'high wants' (big, ambitious goals) can generate more resistance than smaller ones •       How limiting beliefs, habits, and comfort zones all contribute to resistance •       The role of purpose and alignment — and why misalignment with your higher calling makes resistance worse •       Why generic solutions don't work and what a personalized approach actually looks like •       Kam's Kam 9 method for uncovering and addressing your unique resistance patterns •       Why success is built from accumulating insights over time — not finding one magic answer   Whether you approach personal growth through psychology, spirituality, or both — this conversation will give you language for something you've probably been feeling but couldn't name.   About Kam Knight: Kam Knight is a researcher and author specializing in memory, focus, and the psychology of the mind. His work helps people understand the hidden mental forces that shape their behavior and break through the barriers that keep them stuck.

    From Catholic to Mormon to Nothing: How 9/11 Shattered My Faith and Led Me to Spirituality

    Send us Fan Mail Some religious journeys follow a straight line. Michael Czerniewski's definitely didn't. Raised Roman Catholic, Michael converted to Mormonism as a teenager. A high school friend invited him over, LDS missionaries arrived, and their message resonated. Despite significant differences between Catholicism and Mormonism—priesthood structure, baptism at age eight, fundamental theology—Michael embraced his new faith. He participated in sacred Mormon rituals that most people never hear about: baptisms for the dead (performing proxy baptisms for deceased ancestors) and the Endowment ceremony (a sacred temple ritual preparing members for the afterlife). Then came September 11, 2001. Michael was serving in the Navy, still an active Mormon. Watching the towers fall, experiencing the fear and uncertainty of that day, something shifted. Instead of strengthening his faith, the tragedy made him question everything he'd been taught. In this honest conversation, we explore: ✨ Why a Catholic teenager converted to Mormonism ✨ The real differences between Catholic and LDS theology and practice ✨ What happens during baptisms for the dead ✨ The sacred Endowment ceremony explained ✨ Pressure to go on a mission ✨ How 9/11 became a crisis of faith ✨ The process of formally resigning from the LDS Church ✨ Why leaving requires a letter—and missionaries still visit ✨ Exploring Greek Orthodox traditions and Taoism ✨ Why Scientology lacks substance ✨ Being spiritual but not religious Michael now hosts "This Podcast is Uncalled For" and appreciates the flexibility of spirituality over structured religion. His journey proves you can honor your seeking without staying trapped in systems that no longer serve you.  Guest: Michael Czerniewski  Podcast: "This Podcast is Uncalled For"  Topics: Religious conversion, Mormonism, Catholicism, LDS temple rituals, faith crisis, 9/11, spiritual but not religious, comparative religion, leaving organized religion Support the show 🔮 Work with Me: https://www.divineascensionco.com 🌟 Learn more about my signature 14-step awakening program: https://www.divineascensionco.com/the-self-spirit-method ⚡ Egypt Pilgrimage 2026: Join me for a sacred journey to Egypt in September 2026.
