    Samantha (Wake Up Just Be) - Medium, Finding your Authenticity & Dating

    In this episode of the Amoraea Podcast, Matt sits down with Samantha — energetic medium, channeler, and founder of Wake Up Just Be — for a wide-ranging conversation that spans consciousness, authenticity, purpose, and the deeper energetics behind how we show up in dating and relationships. Samantha shares her unique work as an energetic medium — not channeling beings, but life force energy and nondual states of awareness — and how this transmission helps people reconnect with their true nature and expand consciousness beyond the ordinary human experience. She breaks down the difference between healing and awakening, why enlightenment isn't a destination, and what "embodied awakening" actually means in everyday life. The conversation gets practical fast. Matt and Samantha explore what it looks like to tell the microscopic truth in your interactions, how to balance strategy and authenticity when meeting someone new, and why the people you attract in dating are often a mirror of your own internal alignment. They also get honest about the different challenges men and women face in dating — from rejection and initiation to energetic openness and the courage to say a direct no. What you'll hear in this episode: What an energetic medium actually does — and how it differs from Reiki or traditional mediumshipEmbodied awakening vs. enlightenment: why the destination model is a trapHow to reconnect with your authentic self without a medium or plant medicineThe difference between being kind and being nice — and why directness is actually the more compassionate choiceWhy the people you keep attracting in dating reflect something inside you — and what to do about itHow to balance authenticity with strategy when you're interested in someoneThe energetics of receiving as a woman — and why clarity and discernment matter more than openness aloneValues upgrading: how your values don't change, they get refined through experienceWhether you're on a spiritual path, navigating dating, or trying to figure out what you actually want from life — this conversation has something in it for you.

    The Journey From Survival to Service: Herbalism, Healing & Second Chances with Adi Miral

    In this episode of the Amoraea Podcast, I sit down with Adi Miral — herbalist, community leader, and someone who has genuinely been through it. Adi's story is one of the most intense I've heard on this show: a devastating 2020 car accident that left him with a traumatic brain injury and titanium plates rebuilding his face, a divorce, homelessness, a violent and dangerous relationship, false allegations that led to his arrest and a potential 40-year sentence — and how he came out the other side of all of it. We talk about how Adi's Ayurvedic roots (his grandfather practiced in India) pulled him toward functional herbs and mushrooms — think lion's mane, Gotu Kola, and Ginkgo Biloba — as he worked to rebuild his brain and body after his accident, and how that knowledge turned into teaching, then into a full community. What started as five people in a small room has grown into a 100+ person herbalism community doing plant walks, tincture workshops, compost sifting, and DIY body care classes (yes, we get into what's actually in a good toothpaste). We also get into his four-stage framework for personal growth — animal, warrior, explorer, navigator — the psilocybin journey that revealed it to him, and how he's turning hardship into a mission of building community and helping others find their way forward. Along the way, we talk about what Amoraea is really trying to do differently in the dating world, and why real, in-person connection matters more than another swipe. About Amoraea: Amoraea is a psychology-forward matchmaking app for people who've done the work — matching based on attachment style, values, conflict style, and compatibility, with a required interview before you're in.

    Confident Nervous Systems, Honest Boundaries & Hot Sex: A Conversation with Tantrika Amaya Shiva

    In this episode of the Amoraea Podcast, I sit down with Amaya Shiva — sex educator, relationship coach, tantrika, and host of Your Sexual Revolution — for one of the most honest conversations I've had on this show. We get into why pleasure-based sex matters more than performance-based sex, and why the real key to a great sexual connection isn't the orgasm — it's nervous system calm and presence. Amaya walks through her "containment" practice for dropping into your body before intimacy, how to explore kinks and new experiences without overwhelming yourself or your partner, and why crystal-clear communication about boundaries is one of the sexiest things you can bring to a relationship. We also dig into some bigger questions I get asked constantly as the founder of a matchmaking app: How should attachment styles factor into who you date? Should anxiously attached people wait to have sex? Is casual sex ever healthy? What's actually going on with polyamory in Austin's conscious community? And why are so many people in "conscious" spaces chronically single? Amaya doesn't hold back — on nervous system science, on dating multiple people at once, on why "checklists" keep good partners off your radar, and on what it really means to advocate for yourself (as a man or a woman) without losing your confidence or your feminine/masculine polarity in the process. This one's candid, funny, and genuinely useful if you're navigating dating, attachment wounds, or just want better sex and better relationships. About Amoraea: Amoraea is a psychology-forward matchmaking app that matches people based on attachment style, values, and compatibility — grounded in research from the Gottman Institute and others. It's exclusive to people who've done the work, with a required interview before you can join.

    Push Hands, Presence & Somatic Dating: Balance, Sensitivity & Energetic Connection with Dawei (FuKrew)

    On this episode of the Amoraea Podcast, Matt sits down with Dawei, founder of FuKrew, to talk about Push Hands (Tui Shou) — an ancient partner practice rooted in Tai Chi that blends martial sensitivity training with modern energetic and quantum healing concepts. Dawei breaks down what Push Hands actually looks like in practice, why softness and balance beat brute force, and how the practice retrains the nervous system to respond to pressure — physical, mental, or emotional — instead of tensing up and reacting on autopilot. He and Matt dig into: What Push Hands is and the different styles/approaches within itHow posture, alignment, and body awareness shape everything from how we walk to how we handle stressWhy Push Hands can surface emotional releases, not just physical onesThe role of consensual touch and safe, vetted community spaces — especially for womenHow this kind of embodied practice connects to compatibility and attraction beyond a checklist of "wants"Dawei's new layer on top of traditional Push Hands: group energetic/quantum healing conceptsHow FuKrew is building an accessible, drop-in style community across AustinWhether you're curious about somatic practices, nervous system regulation, martial arts, or just want a new way to connect with people in real life, this conversation offers a grounded (and pretty fun) entry point.

    Stephanie Davis Part II - Enneagram Expert

    Is your Enneagram type connected to your soul? In Part 2, the conversation moves from psychology into spirituality — exploring the “Soul Child,” ego formation, attachment styles, and whether love can ever be engineered by an algorithm. Stephanie explains the deeper spiritual dimension of the Enneagram, including integration lines, sacred geometry, and why growth involves reclaiming your lost essence — not becoming a different type. I then bridge the theory into practice:  Can Human Design composite charts predict attraction?  Should secure attachment styles date anxious partners?  Can a dating app measure compatibility without killing chemistry? This episode explores the tension between fate and data — between spiritual growth and statistical matching. Topics include: The Enneagram “Soul Child” explainedIntegration vs disintegration linesSacred geometry of the EnneagramReincarnation and personality continuity (theoretical discussion)Attachment styles vs Enneagram healthSecure vs anxious dynamics in datingHuman Design composite charts and compatibilityInstinct stacking (self-preservation, social, sexual)The limits of algorithms in predicting loveIf you’re interested in conscious relationships, personal growth, and the future of typology-based matchmaking, this is where philosophy meets technology.
