    Demons, Parasites & the Power of Play with Angela Shelton of The Sacred Circus

    Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode! What if your experiences don't define you, but instead reveal your power? In this episode of In My Experience, I'm joined by filmmaker, author, survivor advocate, and Holy Hot Mom creator Angela Shelton for a conversation that goes just about everywhere. Angela has spent decades advocating for survivors of childhood sexual abuse and challenging systems she believes perpetuate exploitation and silence. What I love about her approach is the humor, creativity, and joy she brings to conversations many people avoid. We explore parasites, archons, spiritual entities, the Nag Hammadi scriptures, and our personal experiences with perceived energetic interference. Angela shares an encounter that shifted her perspective on parasites, inspired her Holy Hot Mom creations, and influenced her spiritual journey. We also discuss her upcoming science-fiction project, A Rare Human. I share experiences from my spiritual awakening and navigating the family court system, including how our reactions can sometimes take away our power. Angela opens up about childhood trauma, abusive relationships, survivor guilt, and recognizing how shame and self-criticism can make us our own worst abusers. Together, we explore forgiveness, breaking cycles, establishing boundaries, choosing our responses, and stepping away from chaos. And, of course, joy. Through Sacred Circus, Angela brings people together through profound play, creativity, and community to reclaim their lives after trauma. Her message? You deserve joy, regardless of what you've experienced. Content Advisory: This episode discusses childhood sexual abuse, trauma, and other sensitive topics. Listener discretion advised.

    Loving Without Losing Yourself; Love, Lust & Attachment with Nicole Ananda

    Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode! Have you ever fallen for someone’s potential and tried to make the relationship match what you could see in them? This week on In My Experience, I’m joined by Nicole Ananda of EroSophia, a feminine embodiment mentor and sacred sexuality educator, to explore love, lust, attachment, and the stories we build around the people we’re drawn to. We talk about dating standards, pacing intimacy, recognizing repeating patterns, and getting to know someone through their behavior over time. Nicole also shares her perspective on masculine and feminine energy, divine union, and staying connected to ourselves and God or Source in relationship. And there’s a synchronicity I couldn’t miss: the word “projection” kept coming up. After last week’s episode, I had finally found that same word for what I experienced with my former lover. Hearing it again with Nicole, as we explored expectations, fantasies, and unconscious patterns, felt like a little cosmic wink. Previous episode: Revising Reality, Death and Everything in Between. We explore: Lust, limerence, and attachment.Falling for potential and projecting a fantasy.Dating standards, boundaries, and emotional responsibility.Loving someone while staying connected to yourself.Join the conversation: What helps you recognize an old relationship pattern?

    Revising Reality, Death and Everything in Between | A Solo Episode

    Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode! Revising Reality, Death and Everything in Between | Solo Episode What happens when an experience that shattered your reality stays the same, but your understanding changes five years later? Hey soul friends! 💜 It's been a full couple of weeks, with loss, reflection, old recordings, and new discoveries. My sweet dog Layla recently passed. Although I couldn't be there, I feel at peace with her transition. I share a tender moment with Luna, a German shepherd here in Tennessee, who brought me her favorite toy while I was sending love to Layla. I've also been revisiting my Akashic Records readings with Heather Thomas from August 2021 and July 2022. Hearing them now reveals how much I was changing, even while I was still searching for answers. Then I listened to an April 21, 2022 reading with Eagle Skyfire, recorded before a plant medicine retreat. Her discussion of "projection" made me question my interpretation of my May 2021 awakening. For years, I described it as entering an alternate timeline. Now I'm exploring other possibilities, including how projection is discussed in occult traditions. I also reflect on the intense physical sensitivities and symptoms I experienced during that time, and the difference between an experience and how we explain it. I'm sharing Eagle's original reading in this episode, followed by my reflections more than four years later. Coming Soon 🎙️ ✨ Angela Shelton of The Sacred Circus and Holy Hot Mom Oil. ✨ Nicole Ananda of EroSophia, a sexual embodiment coach. We'll explore shamanic sexual initiations, sexuality, embodiment, and priestess practices. Shout-out to Adam Butler for connecting us! ✨ Joline Aran of Psychic Energy Mama and the Embodiment Academy, discussing her return to a childhood home associated with trauma and reported hauntings, and helping with an energy clearing for the current family. Amy Belair's Creation Codes 🔮 I've joined Creation Codes! We're exploring mindfold perception and telekinesis exercises, including trying to stick coins to walls. How f*****g cool is that?! Thursdays at 3 PM Eastern, with replays available: https://amybelair.com/course-creation-codes Free Monthly Akashic Reading 💜 I'm giving away one free Akashic Records reading every month!

    One Year Later, Still Searching: My Second Reading with Heather Thomas 7.18.22

    Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode! I'm doubling down. This is my second reading with Heather Thomas, recorded on July 18, 2022. Our first was on August 30, 2021. You may be hearing them back to back, but they were nearly 11 months apart—and there was a TON of deep soul work happening in between. I want to make that clear because I wasn’t just picking up where we left off. I had spent almost a year trying to understand, heal, and work through what I was experiencing. And honestly, I still felt just as lost and confused. I had more language and more specific questions, but I still didn’t know what to do. My daughter, Grace, is at the center of both readings. I’m trying to understand what she’s describing, make sense of my own experiences, and help her while figuring it out myself. We revisit the same account of a spirit in our home, concerns about familiar people seeming different, and questions about trust, boundaries, and personal power. Looking back, I now interpret her descriptions of the energy she said she communicated with as referring to what I understand as an archon. That is my current spiritual interpretation; it wasn’t the term we used in either session. There are differences, too. In the first reading, Heather emphasizes slowing down, integrating, nurturing myself, and setting boundaries. In the second, we explore unmet needs, shame, forgiveness, and compassion more deeply. The past-life imagery changes from a plane, an island, and betrayal to a Scottish shepherd, a storm, and a cave. Heather’s understanding also shifts: in the first reading she describes entities as disconnected from source; in the second, she says she believes they remain connected but have lost their way. I appreciate her approach of having compassion and remaining in the frequency of joy and love as the way to “slay the demons,” so to speak. And I am astounded by her resolve to keep trying to bring information through, even while she described feeling blocked and our connection repeatedly dropped. Editing this episode has brought its own changes. I started the intro on Sunday, October 4, and by the time I recorded the outro on Wednesday Morning, so much had happened. I lost my dog Layla, my beautiful collie of 12 years. I’m really feeling the end of a cycle and the beginning of a new one. I’m heading back to Pennsylvania for a week before returning to Tennessee, where I’m looking forward to homeschooling and fall activities with Grace. And looking back at how uncertain I felt in this reading, I’m happy to report that my experiences of astral travel have become much more confident and capable since then. These recordings capture our experiences and spiritual interpretations at the time, including the questions that remained unresolved. I will share links to connect with Heather once I touch base with her (hopefully soon) In the meantime please connect with me on TikTok LinkTree or my website to book and connect

    Looking Back, Understanding More: My Recorded Akashic Reading with Heather Thomas 8/30/21

    Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode! Some conversations take on new meaning as we continue living... In this episode, I’m sharing my recorded Akashic reading with Heather Thomas from August 30, 2021—just a few months after my fist "big awakening" in May of that same year. I was navigating deeply personal experiences, asking questions, and trying to find language for what I was feeling. So much of what came through in Heather’s reading made sense in the moment. Other pieces became meaningful along the way. Revisiting it now, I hear it through the different perspectives I’ve gained over time and through continued experiences. My understanding has kept growing. Our conversation explores awakening, relationships, recurring patterns, parenting, spiritual sensitivity, boundaries, and giving ourselves time to integrate unfamiliar experiences. Heather offers her interpretations through the lens of the Akashic Records, including a reminder I still appreciate: slow down and give yourself time. For me, this reading is a meaningful example of how working with the Akashic field can offer helpful information to reflect on and revisit. Considering something from another perspective can open space for clarity, understanding, and resolution in everyday life. You’re hearing an earlier version of me, working through questions with the understanding I had then. If you’re revisiting a chapter of your own story, I hope this conversation encourages you to offer that earlier version of yourself some compassion, too. And yes, watching this recording has also changed my perspective on paying other people to do my eyebrows. They had me looking like a fool! There’s room for laughter in all this reflection. Next time, I’ll have to share the story of my first experience with psilocybin! I’m grateful to Heather for this conversation. She doesn’t appear to be accepting bookings at the moment. I am currently offering Akashic Records readings, and if you feel drawn to explore your own questions with me, you can learn more or book a session through this link for Akashic Records Reading and/or my website You can also stay connected and shop through LinkTree 20% off Akashic Readings and Space for You to Speak until 10/31! If this episode resonates with you, please subscribe, like, and share it with someone who might connect with it. Your support helps these conversations reach more people. Thank you for listening and making space for my story.

    A Very “Jeremy Bearimy” Conversation with Jeremy Silva Aka Steelo Free

    Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode! Steelo Free (Jeremy Silva) is back for what I believe is our fourth podcast together, and this conversation really Jeremy Bearimy’d its way through Kabbalah, dreams, past lives, astral travel, Akashic records, entities, addiction, soul retrieval, karmic relationships, and the wounded-healer pattern. Somehow, we brought it all back around in the end. Shout out to my all-time favorite show, The Good Place—please watch and enjoy if you feel called! Jeremy is one of the hosts of the Outside Minds Podcast, where they explore consciousness, spirituality, dreams, psychedelics, the occult, and the stranger layers of reality. He is also the artist who created the music you hear in the intro and outro of the show! We begin with Jeremy explaining Kabbalah as a way of understanding the structure of reality and where we are on the journey between separation and Source. From there, we get into the information people sometimes receive intuitively before they ever study or consciously understand it. I share a dream I had in September of 2021 in which a woman appeared to me with bees covering her eyes. I knew that I knew her. I recognized her, but I didn’t understand who she was or why she felt so familiar. Then, during a past-life regression in 2022, I learned that I had been one of the Melissae—an oracular bee priestess. The bee woman came to me before I consciously knew anything about that connection. The regression didn’t create the idea; it gave me context for something I had already experienced. Jeremy and I talk about dreams that feel like memories, parallel lives, déjà vu, astral travel, and the possibility that we are doing much more while we sleep than we consciously remember. That leads us into karmic relationships and my own tendency to love people, believe in them, and keep trying to save them even when it costs me pieces of myself. At what point does loving someone else become self-abandonment? The conversation comes full circle when Jeremy explains the Kabbalistic balance between mercy and strength. Too much strength can become controlling, but too much mercy can turn us into people who continually allow ourselves to be hurt. The goal isn’t to stop loving people. It’s learning to love them without losing ourselves. In this episode, we talk about: Kabbalah and the structure of realityDreams, past lives, and parallel timelinesMy dream about the bee woman and the MelissaeAkashic records and intuitive recognitionAstral travel, déjà vu, and dream interpretationTrauma, addiction, and spiritual attachmentsSoul retrieval and reclaiming pieces of ourselvesKarmic relationships, repeating patterns, and the wounded healerBalancing mercy, strength, boundaries, and self-loveAs always, these are our personal experiences, beliefs, and interpretations.

    Permission to Be Awesome: Radical Self-Honesty, DMT & Returning to Source with Adam Butler

    Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode! What if the path to self-love begins with being radically honest about who you are—even the parts you’ve been taught to hide or judge? I sit down with Adam Butler for an unfiltered conversation about psychedelics, consciousness, sexuality, sobriety, past lives, relationships, and becoming comfortable in your own skin. Adam is a psychedelic philosopher, author, photographer, and explorer of consciousness. After reaching a breaking point through addiction, depression, and suicidal ideation, he began rebuilding his life through sobriety, psychedelics, meditation, shadow work, and self-exploration. He is the author of Butler’s DMT Field Guide, Butler’s Psychedelic Integration Field Guide, and The Alchemist of Tears. Find him on Instagram at @thealchemistoftears and YouTube at @ButlersDMTFieldGuide. Adam shares how removing alcohol from his life and working intentionally with psychedelics helped him confront his shadow, reconnect with his body, and change the direction of his life. Although he describes DMT as a catalyst that helped save him, we emphasize that psychedelics are not for everyone—and they are only one of many possible doorways into ourselves. We discuss meditation, hypnosis, float tanks, darkness retreats, lucid dreaming, intimacy, nature, and past-life regression as different ways of accessing expanded awareness. Adam describes encounters with DMT entities, a 100-hour darkness retreat, and experiences of heightened sound, frequency, and perception. We explore why altered states can feel “more real than real,” whether consciousness is created by the brain or received through it, and how recurring visions of Padua and Adam’s connection to Lakota music became clearer through past-life regression. I share more about my spontaneous Kundalini awakening and the spiritual experiences that began unfolding before I had any framework for understanding them. I also describe a plant-medicine journey in which I experienced myself as a newborn baby crying to be held. When I reached toward God, I was shown that the presence I needed was already within me. Our conversation also moves through sexual shame, sacred intimacy, healthy boundaries, feminine and masculine energy, and viewing relationships as meaningful experiences rather than successes or failures. Throughout the episode, we return to one central idea: radical self-honesty leads to self-knowledge, and self-knowledge creates the possibility for real self-love. This episode includes explicit language and candid conversations about sex, trauma, suicidal ideation, psychedelics, and altered states of consciousness. We are sharing personal experiences, not medical advice or encouragement to use illegal substances. Take what resonates and leave the rest. The invitation is to become curious about your own path.

    Behind the Badge: Trauma, Service, and the Courage to Listen with Frank Jones III

    Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode! In this episode of In My Experience, I’m joined by Frank Jones III—a social worker, Marine veteran, police officer, crisis negotiator, locksmith, husband and father. I met Frank because I locked myself out of my camper at around 11 p.m. He was still finishing his police shift, so while we waited, we started a fire with the little wood we had. It lasted exactly until he arrived. When Frank got there, I apologized for being a silly goose and explained that I was moving. He asked where, and I said, “Right here—into this.” I told him about my divorce, my decision to live in the camper and my desire to travel and learn cob building. We had such an interesting conversation that I invited him onto the show. Frank shares how growing up as the oldest of five children, moving 21 times and experiencing physical and emotional abuse shaped the person he wanted to become. At only 12 or 13, he decided his adult life would be different and that he would become the best husband and father he could be. That desire led him toward a life of service. Frank worked in foster care, led anger-management groups for young people and taught drug and alcohol prevention before joining the Marine Corps and completing three deployments. He later brought his social-work background and military experience into law enforcement, where he has served for 11 years. We talk about the emotional weight first responders carry, the strain shift work places on families and Frank’s desire to spend more time with his wife and children. He is now considering school security, where he could continue supporting young people while creating more balance for his family. We also discuss domestic violence, mental-health crises and the need for more trauma-informed law-enforcement training. Frank explains the realities of responding to one crisis after another, the work of Crisis Intervention Teams and why listening can be more effective than immediately giving commands. I also share some of my experiences involving my divorce, custody, PFAs, arrests and interactions with the Pennsylvania State Police. When I edited this episode, I was ashamed of how quickly I moved into my own trauma after Frank shared something so personal about his childhood. I hoped to share a little of my story because it related, but I spoke too soon and ended up trauma dumping. It was inconsiderate. I reached out to Frank, apologized and am grateful that he accepted my apology. Sometimes, when someone shares something difficult, we double down on our own experience. We think we’re relating, but unintentionally redirect the attention back to ourselves. My story deserves space, too—but Frank’s story deserved to be acknowledged first. This reminded me that listening means allowing someone’s experience to land and letting them know they were truly heard. I want to be more conscious of that with everyone, especially guests who trust me with their stories. In this episode, we talk about: How childhood trauma can shape a life of serviceSocial work, military service and law enforcementCrisis negotiation and de-escalationDomestic violence and mental-health responseThe emotional weight carried by first respondersShift work and family lifeSupporting young people through school securitySharing without overtaking another person’s storyAccountability, apology and intentional listeningThis conversation is honest, layered and very human. Every lotus grows in the mud. Follow Christine and Hyacinth Healing: @hyacinthhealing
