Adult Santa Claus Effect

Heath Wessling

We've reached the point in human history where almost all information is readily accessible to everyone. We either choose to know the truth, or we don't. Discovering the truth about false narratives on certain topics is harder to process through than when we go through it as a kid, but the sequence is the same. I discuss all life topics in candid yet compassionate ways, not to overwhelm- with the compass always set on optimal personal health & community strength. This is especially for those starting to wonder about or question some things today, but don't like anything too dark or scary.

    Ep5, part 2 - Spiritual Social Spirits

    In Part 2 of Episode 5 on "Religion & Relationships", we dive into all the Social aspects of our life…not just Relationships, but energies, Feminine & Masculine essences, realizations around dating, marriage, and all the days between. We also discuss Social Media and technology, as their impact on our social health is immense- as is materialism, accepting others and discussing viewpoints that don’t align with ours, and some very hard conversations around those who cannot represent themselves. As usual, we seek common ground and enjoy highlighting the overwhelming similarities and common ground within our social world and desires, and the Adult Santa Claus Effect moments. We fearlessly seek to UNITE us through the noise of division, into the harmony of respect and realistic acknowledgments...and we end with a heartfelt recap of the entire podcast series. So tune into this final episode of the podcast series on sociality, as in our social lives we must all live out that future to create the world we want to live in.

    Ep4 - Business (i)'n Politics

    In this Episode #4 on "Business & Politics", we confront hard truths about both the history and integration of Business with Politics, where it impacts our lives, how those concepts are or are not aligning to the original American principles. We speak to the hot topics of the day: Corruption, Immigration, Taxes, Banking Systems, Community Commerce, Education, Elections, Trump, Ukraine, Israel, Guns, and Climate Change. We continue to stay high level, but we fearlessly go into topics few are willing to discuss, and even fewer are able to clearly articulate. Hopefully this is not the episode that gets us censored…we will see as we seek our similarities and find our common ground ALL WHILE going through yet many more Adult Santa Claus Effect moments!

    Ep2 - a Rural American’s Wild Wellness World Journey

    In this episode #2, I tell My Story, from growing up in rural Iowa to all my 8 lives lived so far at college in the University of Iowa, first job in "big city" Kansas City, living and working overseas in London England, travelling around the world and what I learned & loved, loving beautiful exotic foreign women hard twice for about 5 years each, to finding myself and reinventing myself multiple times, to starting the Kansas City Wellness Club, what happened there, and my next chapter as a transformation wellness coach. I've lived a very bless and fortunate life, and while I don't like talking about myself, it's important that I let you all know who I am and where I'm coming from both in doing this podcast, as well as my mission in my work to help people achieve optimal health and local community business integration...

    Ep1 - Navigating the New(s) Information Highway

    In this 1st episode, I discuss the concept of the "Santa Claus Effect"- confronting why we believe what we believe when it’s getting challenged. I highlight the sequential similarities that exist when comparing the process as an Adult vs as a Child, explore how the process is exponentially harder to go through as an Adult than it is as a Child, and discover why it's important to recognize this process happening within and around us each day, as well as in the past, and certainly in the future. I set the stage for what this podcast mini-series is going to be about. We then authentically & candidly dive into the first topic in the series- Information, the flow of Information, “the news”, how it’s controlled, how it's ran, the origins of “conspiracy theory”, the appearance of Truth and what that looks like, etc. I provide perspective- but don't go too deep that you get overwhelmed- to get you to wonder, critically think for yourself, consider doing your own research, and coming to your own conclusions in a sovereign way. All with guiding principles of best health, unity, humor, and safe space being our playing field.
