  1. When the Rational Mind Meets the Spirit World with author Seth Steinzor

    When the Rational Mind Meets the Spirit World with author Seth Steinzor

    In this episode of Lucid Cafe, I’m joined by Seth Steinzor, author of The View From the Other Side of My Head, for a candid and thought-provoking conversation about what happens when a highly trained, analytical mind encounters experiences it can’t explain. Raised without a spiritual framework and trained as an attorney, Seth spent much of his life grounded in logic and reason — until a series of unexpected encounters with shamanic trance opened a doorway into an entirely different way of perceiving reality. What began during the uncertainty of the pandemic soon evolved into a deeply transformative practice, challenging his assumptions and reshaping his understanding of consciousness, embodiment, and the nature of existence itself. In this episode, Seth discusses:  His New Book Secular UpbringingSearch for Spiritual ConnectionPower Animal EncounterLearning How to JourneyRituals and the ShofarThe Experience of Accessing the Spirit WorldDreams and RealityInner Guidance ProcessDream World vs Waking WorldLucidity and DetachmentFinding a TeacherHow Shamanic Practice Transformed HimCulture and SymbolismThe Upper World and DeathLearn More about Seth's Book: The View From the Other Side of My Head Seth's website ________ BECOME YOUR OWN SHAMAN Introductory Online Course The Magical Path Shamanic Workbook For more information about Wendy's new visionary fiction book, Raven's Daughter, or to purchase a copy, visit Three Worlds Press Visit Wendy’s website to learn more about the the Harmonic Egg®   Lucid Cafe episodes by topic   Listen to Lucid Cafe on YouTube   ★ Support this podcast ★

  2. Inside a Clairvoyant Reading: Healing, Discernment, & Self-Discovery with Dave Clark

    Inside a Clairvoyant Reading: Healing, Discernment, & Self-Discovery with Dave Clark

    I’m joined by clairvoyant reader, healer, and teacher Dave Clark for a powerful and deeply personal conversation about intuition, healing, and what it really means to “see” clearly. Dave shares how his work centers on reading energy to uncover the unconscious patterns shaping our relationships, health, and life path — not by predicting the future, but by helping people reconnect with their own inner knowing. We also explore his approach to mediumship and the profound healing that can come from connecting with loved ones who have passed. We also dive into the practical side of intuitive development: deprogramming the analytical mind, working with emotional reactivity, cultivating discernment in an overwhelming information landscape, and honoring ethical boundaries in healing work. This is a rich and grounded exploration of intuition, loss, and transformation — and an invitation to trust your own capacity to see more clearly.

  3. Archetypes at Work: The Hidden Patterns of Your Life with Carl Greer PhD, PsyD

    Archetypes at Work: The Hidden Patterns of Your Life with Carl Greer PhD, PsyD

    I’m joined once again by Carl Greer, whose remarkable life has spanned engineering, finance, academia, clinical psychology, Jungian analysis, and shamanic practice. Now in his mid-eighties, Carl reflects on how these experiences reshaped his understanding of reality, purpose, and the stories that guide our lives. We explore archetypes, dreamwork, the personal and collective unconscious, and the power of small experiments to help us shift old patterns. His newest workbook is Go Within To Change Your Life. In this conversation we discuss dreamwork, shamanic journeying, dialoguing with inner figures, and noticing before interpreting. Carl outlines personal vs collective unconscious, resilience in life’s “suddenlys,” risks of escapism, and habit change through small, playful experiments. Topics covered in this episode include: Carl's Life Story and CareerShamanism and ServiceWorkbook OverviewArchetypes ExplainedFinding Your ArchetypesDreams and JourneyingDialoguing with ShadowsInterpreting Inner MessagesPersonal and Collective UnconsciousResilience in Sudden ChangeBuilding New HabitsInner Wisdom and HealthVIsit Carl's website________ BECOME YOUR OWN SHAMAN Introductory Online Course  For more information about Wendy's new visionary fiction book, Raven's Daughter, or to purchase a copy, visit Three Worlds Press Visit Wendy’s website to learn more about the the Harmonic Egg®   Lucid Cafe episodes by topic   Listen to Lucid Cafe on YouTube  ★ Support this podcast ★

  4. The Lost Art of Emotional Resilience with author John Tsilimparis

    The Lost Art of Emotional Resilience with author John Tsilimparis

    In this episode, psychotherapist John Tsilimparis joins me to explore a more compassionate approach to grief, inspired by his book The Magic in the Tragic. We discuss how our “be strong and move on” culture often discourages us from truly honoring loss — and why grief, when faced rather than avoided, can build emotional resilience. John shares his personal story of loss, the myth of closure, the concept of “forbidden suffering,” and practical tools for working with anxiety and worry. At its core, this conversation is about learning to stay with pain, transform it, and discover unexpected meaning — even in our darkest days. In this episode, John discusses: How Our Culture Avoids DeathHis Origin Story and LossForbidden Suffering ExplainedThe Purpose of Grief ResilienceAnxiety Trends and ScreensThe Dangers of Avoiding PainInspiration Exposure PracticeMusic and HopeNobility of SufferingHonoring SufferingGuilt and JoyRituals and ReverenceWrite a Sympathy LetterA 'Reducing Worry' PracticeThree Anxiety PillarsAesthetic Mindset ToolsMyth of ClosureLiving With GriefResilience and MeaningTherapy Work and ResourcesVisit John's website________ BECOME YOUR OWN SHAMAN Introductory Online Course  For more information about Wendy's new visionary fiction book, Raven's Daughter, or to purchase a copy, visit Three Worlds Press Visit Wendy’s website to learn more about the the Harmonic Egg®   Lucid Cafe episodes by topic   Listen to Lucid Cafe on YouTube  ★ Support this podcast ★

    Trusting Your Cosmic Design with author Madi Murphy

    In this episode of Lucid Cafe, I’m joined by astrologer, shamanic practitioner, and author Madi Murphy to explore her new book, In the Cosmic Zone: Embody the 12 Astro Archetypes to Unleash Your Genius and Activate Your Authentic Self. Madi shares her personal journey from a Christian upbringing to embracing astrology as a powerful tool for alignment, self-trust, and spiritual growth. Together, we talk about her embodied approach to astrology — one that invites us to turn inward and work with the wisdom of each zodiac archetype as a living, breathing part of ourselves. We also explore what it means to live authentically in a world that often asks us to disconnect from our inner knowing, the courage it takes to trust your path, and how astrology can serve as a mirror for self-discovery rather than a set of external predictions. This episode is an invitation to step into your cosmic zone — and remember who you came here to be.

    Becoming Yourself: Autism, Identity & Belonging with author Sol Smith

    In this episode, I’m joined by author and neuro-affirming life coach Sol Smith for a thoughtful and deeply personal conversation about autism (with a focus on high functioning adults), identity, and self-discovery. Sol shares his journey of being diagnosed with autism in adulthood and what inspired him to write The Autistic’s Guide to Self-Discovery: Flourishing as a Neurodivergent Adult. In this conversation we explore the often-overlooked nuances of autistic experience — including high masking, social challenges, intense versus narrow interests, and the impact of societal stigma. Sol also speaks to the barriers many autistic adults face in accessing professional diagnoses, the importance of self-diagnosis, and the vital role community support groups play in fostering belonging and understanding. Woven throughout the conversation is a broader reflection on consciousness and the unique ways autistic individuals may perceive and engage with the world. This episode offers insight, validation, and encouragement for autistic listeners, as well as greater understanding for allies seeking to learn. In this episode, Sol discusses: His Journey to Writing the The Autistic’s Guide to Self-DiscoveryUnderstanding Autism and Narrow InterestsSocial Challenges and Hierarchies Building Friendships as an Autistic PersonMasking and People PleasingGender Differences in AutismRejection SensitivityCultural Changes and AcceptanceThinking Styles: Bottom-Up vs. Top-DownUnderstanding Neurotypical vs. Autistic PerceptionMedia Literacy and Cognitive ShortcutsCommunication Challenges in RelationshipsEncouraging Self-Diagnosis and Access IssuesAutistic Traits and Social PerceptionThe Cognitive Burden of AutismCoaching and Community Support for AutisticsExploring Consciousness and PerceptionVisit Sol's website________ BECOME YOUR OWN SHAMAN Introductory Online Course  For more information about Wendy's new visionary fiction book, Raven's Daughter, or to purchase a copy, visit Three Worlds Press Visit Wendy’s website to learn more about the the Harmonic Egg®   Lucid Cafe episodes by topic   Listen to Lucid Cafe on YouTube  ★ Support this podcast ★

    Dreams as Medicine: Inside ‘The Secret Mind’ with Bonnie Buckner PhD

    In this episode of Lucid Cafe, I’m joined by Bonnie Buckner, author of The Secret Mind, for a fascinating deep dive into the transformative intelligence of our dreams. Bonnie shares how tuning into our dream life can help us grow, heal, and create greater harmony in our waking world. We explore the two cognitive processing systems in the brain, Bonnie’s early childhood realization that dreams hold profound meaning, and the seven types of dreams preserved through a 13th-century lineage. She also offers practical guidance for capturing and interpreting dreams — and using them to unlock the latent potentials we all carry. If you’re curious about the inner workings of the mind, or want to learn how dreams can become a daily tool for insight and transformation, this conversation opens a compelling doorway.
