This is the podcast formerly known as "Mental Health is Metaphysical." Have you ever wondered why 3D society is such a gongshow? Why everyone in the West is burned out, and stressed, and yearning for "purpose"? Sam has, too. She built a "burnout life", then ran screaming. Eventually, she stopped to ask questions, and found out the "truth" is much stranger (and better) than she expected: we're souls in human bodies. The Universe has our back, and we can learn to work with our own magic. The physical reality we see is *not* all there is. Let's go beyond -- let's get METAphysical.

    40. Stolen From Africa: Decolonizing Education and Healing History (ft. Neil "Logik" Donaldson)

    In this episode of Let’s Get Metaphysical, I sit down with Neil "Logik" Donaldson from Stolen From Africa to explore how colonial education warps our perceptions of humanity, Blackness, history, and identity.

    39. Lion’s Gate Portal 101: Sirius, 8/8 & Ancient Egyptian Wisdom

    ***THE LION'S GATE PORTAL IS NOW OPEN.*** Find out how to work with the most potent energy of the year. In this episode, we're connecting ancient Egyptian star wisdom with modern soul alignment. You'll find out how to work with this annual influx of energy to super-charge your manifestation power. In this episode, I break down: What exactly the Lion’s Gate Portal is — an alignment of Sirius, the Sun in Leo, Orion, and Earth. Its roots in Ancient Egypt, where Sirius’s rising signaled the Nile flood, fertility, rebirth, and the New Year under goddess Sopdet / Isis. The numerology of 8/8: infinite potential, cosmic balance, and alignment of material and spiritual realities. The modern astrological significance: Leo energy (courage, creation, self-expression) amplified through Sirius, aligning with themes of manifestation and expanded consciousness . How the ancient Egyptians aligned the pyramids and Sphinx with Orion, acting as energetic stargates or conduits for higher frequency energy. Practical rituals: how to harness this energy via meditation, intention setting, shadow integration, and heart-centered practices. Why this portal is about both personal transformation and collective shift, encouraging alignment, courage, and creative expression.

    38. Mental Health is made of 2 things: Practice + Perspective.

    What if mental health isn’t something to fix, but something to practice? In this episode, I talk about how burnout, breakdowns, and labels often just symptoms of energetic misalignment. I share personal stories from my corporate past, what ADHD coaching taught me about perspective, how I reconnected with my inner artist, and the moment a Moonlight Scorpio song (“Mental Health”) helped rewire my beliefs during a psychedelic trip. I unpack why most of us are primed for mental health struggles from childhood—because we’re taught to chase roles, not listen to our souls. I share how practicing daily rituals like breathwork, movement, and creative expression helped me shift from burnout to spiritual alignment, and why consistency is key, even when life feels “good.” I also talk about: ​The root chakra and why it’s foundational to stabilityHow movement can be both exercise and exorcismWhy perspective is everything—and how most of ours is warped by Western conditioningThe role of creativity and the inner child in mental wellnessHow I moved from calling myself a “burnout coach” to owning my path as a spiritual mentor This episode is full of gold if you’ve ever wondered whether there’s more to mental health than the frameworks we’ve been given. ✨ For meditations I’ve recorded, search Sam Cross on Insight Timer. You deserve time with your own energy.

    37. "Little Girl" Energy and Embodying the Divine Feminine. (ft. Mars)

    In this episode, I talk with mystic and channel Mars, exploring: The rise of the Divine Feminine and collective consciousness Why many women unconsciously embody “little girl” energy for safety Feminine frequency as the rhythm of life—creative, intuitive, and powerful Sacred rage, grief, and the dark feminine as catalysts for spiritual awakening The witch wound, inner child healing, and the return to self-sovereignty Astrology as a mirror for energetic lineage and soul purpose Misunderstandings around the mother archetype—becoming Mother vs. seeking Mother How poetic truth holds a deeper frequency than literal explanation The role of storytelling, laughter, and sensitivity in spiritual expression FOLLOW MARS ON TIKTOK: @mars_xv LISTEN TO HER PODCAST: Mother & Mirror

    36. Dear Straight People: a storytelling invitation.

    Dear Straight People: it's Pride month. Most people who live under the ever-expanding LGBTQ umbrella know what that means to them. But what does it mean to you? What if Pride is an invitation to a deeper level of humanity? What if it means something to all of us? This is an invitation to listen to stories this Pride month, and to tell your story, too. Every single human has been "othered" in some way. Our portal to compassion (for ourselves, and for each other) is through the medium of storytelling, and COMEDY. In this epsiode, I talk about: My own story: coming out as a lesbian in the flaming cultural dumpster of the early 2000s How representation shapes our sense of possibility, and why that's life-changing The heteronormative pressure on women to be mothers as the path to "love," observing and navigating that as a childfree-by-choice lesbian The quiet ways patriarchy conditions all of us to feel othered, including men (but we're not supposed to notice) Why storytelling is the key to both personal and collective healing, ESPECIALLY COMEDY!!! Check out these BRILLIANT comedians: Jerrod Carmichael ("Don't Be Gay") Fortune Feimster ("Crushing It") Hannah Gadsby ("Nanette") Sam Jay, Sabrina Jalees Mike Birbiglia, Will Ferrell ("Will & Harper") HAVE A WONDERFUL, COLOURFUL, VERY GAY MONTH! 🏳‍🌈

On this episode, we discuss: The first steps to Quantum Healing (knowing you're "the light," not the lighthouse);How to let your inner child lead;How the FEMININE FREQUENCY is the gateway to Quantum Healing, and surrender is the key;How Tim connects to his inner child, and how the inner child often tests us with deeper and deeper emotions.

    34. Mental Health is Metaphysical pt. 2 (with Timothy Buchenauer).

    CONTINUED from Ep. 34! Tim + I continue to deep-dive on the ROOT CAUSE of what we commonly refer to as "mental health" issues. (Tim is on TikTok: @mystic_timothy). We discuss: The "mental health" system deals with soul sicknessThe cycle of dependency created by The System, which is a business that doesn't understand energetics (and relies on "repeat customers" to keep the business running)Tim's NDE (or STE, "Spiritually Transformative Experience") and how the experience of witnessing his own death helped him learn to liveThe "halfway house" of religion, and how it also creates a cycle of "almost" feeling betterTim's journey to accept and love himself as gay (and Sam's perspective, worrying about people, not God)Ultimately, "coming to consciousness" is about accepting duality; letting things shift; not "being right"*** Please rate / review + follow / subscribe to this podcast to support my mission: to help seekers trust the Universe.

    33. Mental Health is Metaphysical Pt. 1 (with Timothy Buchenauer).

    In society, we commonly (mis)understand "mental health" issues physically. We consider symptoms to come from disorders - for example, we think anxiety is generated by a disorder labeled "anxiety," and depression is generated by "depression." In truth, these are symptoms of a disturbance in the metaphysical. Soul disconnect causes anxiety and depression. "Mental health" issues are a manifestation of metaphysical disconnect in the soul or emotional / energetic body. Tim and I discuss this common misunderstanding, and: The common foundation for "mental health" issues (living inauthentically; masking; the energy drain of repression and resisting a spiritual transofmration);The "institutional path" (traditional schooling) and why it never felt like school "made sense" to us;Seeking validation as a symptom of missing internal validation;The societal "cure" for feelings (to run away and distract), and how they make spiritual disconnect worse;The true "cure" of surrender, feeling, and duality of emotion - there's a purpose to pain, and going through it is what will bring us back home to our authentic selves.Let's Get Metaphysical episodes will now come out biweekly! Part 2 of this conversation with Tim will air on May 16, 2025. *** Please rate / review + follow / subscribe to this podcast to support my mission: to help people understand the connection between human and spirit to truly come alive.
