She chased “healing” through mushrooms, moon rituals, and mediumship then saw Jesus while channeling a client. That one moment changed everything. Money showed up fast, love felt uncertain, and the noise in Kara Mosher’s (https://www.instagram.com/herecomestroublexo) mind kept getting louder. We talk with Kara, author of Here Comes Trouble, about growing up in a family that went from motorhome living to million-dollar restaurant success, and how that same rise coincided with divorce, abandonment, and a deep inner instability she tried to outwork. From obsessive thoughts and depression to chasing approval through achievement, her story puts language to the hidden pain so many people carry behind “successful” lives. “Satanism rebranded” is how she describes the occult hiding in plain sight through trendy spirituality. From third-eye talk to Divine Liturgy, her path is intense. Jeremy Jeremiah of Cloud of Witnesses sits down with author and podcaster Kara Mosher to trace her path from sudden family wealth and deep emotional instability into drugs, occult spirituality, and years of psychiatric labels that never quite fit. We follow the turning points that lead her to renounce mediumship after encountering Jesus and to keep searching until she finds a home in Orthodox Christianity. • Hot ’n Now family origin story and how money changes a household • divorce, abandonment, and the start of obsessive compulsive thoughts • overachieving as distraction and a bid for attention • panic attacks, emergency care, and a New Age rehab introduction • marijuana and psychedelics escalating into spiritual experiences • occult practices, mediumship, and “Satanism rebranded” • psych ward intake, bipolar misdiagnosis, and years of heavy medication • antidepressant withdrawal, brain zaps, and a suicide attempt • COVID-era conspiracy rabbit holes and moon ceremony communities • a vision of Jesus, quitting divination, and learning the faith under pressure • losing a Christian community, then rebuilding through church history • encountering Divine Liturgy, catechumenate, and a hunger for communion • “Dosage” and “Wasted Youth” as music that reframes her past From there, Kara walks us through marijuana, psychedelics, and the moment panic cracked everything open. Rehab didn’t bring the grounding she needed, and she explains how New Age spirituality, yoga, meditation, and ritual practices became stepping stones into deeper occult involvement. She shares what it was like to experience spirits, to be pulled into mediumship and “enlightenment” culture, and then to be labeled bipolar in a psych ward within seconds. We also dig into years of medication changes, side effects, withdrawal, and how a late realization about misdiagnosis forced her to rethink both mental health treatment and spiritual reality. Then the story turns on a single, disruptive encounter: Kara sees Jesus while channeling for a client, quits divination, and starts trying to follow Christ with almost no support system. We talk about viral testimony, online backlash, conspiracy-heavy Christian spaces, and why church history eventually leads her to Orthodox Christianity and the shock of experiencing Divine Liturgy for the first time. We close with her music, including “Dosage” and “Wasted Youth,” and what it means to tell the truth even when it costs you friends.
