    “Love and marriage is not about perfection. It’s about participation and waking up every day and saying that I still choose you.” This Earth Xperience explores how identity is navigated across changing seasons of life, including marriage, friendships, success, faith, the body, and personal growth. Dr. ShantaQuilette reflects on how people often expect consistency in areas of life that are designed to evolve, and why knowing who you are matters more than keeping everything the same. The conversation moves through marriage as an ongoing decision rather than a fixed achievement. Dr. ShantaQuilette speaks about choosing a partner daily, not because things stay easy, but because commitment requires presence, communication, and participation. Love matures when expectations of perfection fall away and responsibility takes its place. Friendships and success are examined through the lens of growth. She discusses how success can quietly shift relationships, expose insecurity, and require boundaries that feel uncomfortable but necessary. Some relationships change not because of conflict, but because seasons change and alignment shifts. Faith is explored as a relationship rather than a transaction. Dr. ShantaQuilette speaks about discernment, obedience, and trusting what God reveals even when the full picture is unclear. Growth, she explains, often requires movement before certainty. The body enters the conversation as part of this larger navigation. While her body has changed over time, her identity has remained consistent. She reflects on how society responds differently to bodies, and why those reactions do not define worth. Caring for the body becomes stewardship rooted in respect rather than shame. Each Earth Xperience has its own fingerprint, shaped by lived experience. The X represents whatever is explored together. In this episode, the X is an Experience with Dr. ShantaQuilette, a speaker and educator whose work centers on self awareness, relational clarity, faith, and navigating life with intention rather than reaction.

    What makes a human beyond success and achievement? with @jamesharrisjrmd - X-perience #90

    "I learned that life is not about me, my success, or my wins. It is about service." James Harris Jr., MD This Earth Xperience explores faith, survival, purpose, and the long road from fear to service. James Harris Jr., MD shares his story of growing up in poverty, being raised by his grandmother in a dangerous environment, and navigating fear in a home that never felt safe. He speaks openly about childhood trauma, gang involvement, and the mindset of survival that shaped his early decisions. James reflects on the near death experience in college that forced him to confront his past and the weight of choices he had never repented from. That moment, paired with a campus Bible study, became the turning point that shifted his direction. He explains how fear once drove his behavior and how faith later gave him clarity, responsibility, and purpose. The conversation moves through marriage, long suffering, and love shaped by sacrifice. James shares the realities of becoming a teenage father, staying married for over three decades, and walking through tragedy as a family. He speaks in detail about his son Marcus’s life altering accident, the pressure of being both surgeon and father, and the grief he buried in order to survive. He reflects on how faith sustained him when logic, control, and professional skill were no longer enough. James also shares how service reshaped his understanding of love, from caring for patients to serving refugee communities abroad. He challenges the idea that happiness comes from possessions or achievement and instead points to joy rooted in purpose, faith, and compassion. His story reframes success as obedience, humility, and the willingness to help others even when life feels unfair. Each Earth Xperience has its own fingerprint, shaped by the life of the guest.

    What does divorce teach you about love with @thecoreylhughes? X-perience #89

    "Sometimes you do not know how selfish you are until love holds a mirror up to your face." Cory Lamont Hughes Sr This Earth Xperience moves through love, failure, faith, and the courage to face the truth about yourself. Cory Lamont Hughes Sr shares the journey that shaped him into a father, man of God, entrepreneur, and community voice who helps people discover who they are beyond what they do. He begins with the story of being saved from drowning as a child, a moment he now sees as proof that God’s favor and protection have been with him his entire life. We explore identity and the question of who we become when our environment tells us we are smaller than we are. Cory shares the story of the eagle raised among chickens, a reminder that environment can limit belief, but purpose still calls you higher. The conversation then moves into marriage, divorce, and the emotional weight of love. Cory reflects on the vulnerability required to be fully seen, how marriage exposes selfishness, and how two people must constantly choose each other for a relationship to last. He speaks openly about long suffering, sacrifice, the biblical image of naked and unashamed, and how love must operate both spiritually and practically. We also explore the moments when faith alone is not enough and why marriage requires maturity, communication, emotional intelligence, and self awareness. Cory shares the pain of loving through change, the reality of capacity, and the challenge of learning that sometimes love stays and sometimes love leaves. He discusses the gap between what the church teaches about marriage and the emotional complexity that real relationships demand. This Earth Xperience reflects on what it means to grow after loss, why slowing down matters when choosing a partner, and how divorce can teach you more about yourself than victory ever could.

Ryan shares his journey through anxiety, panic attacks, heartbreak, fear, emotional shutdown, and the moment he decided to stop performing strength and start becoming honest with himself.

Malace explains how emotional numbness became a shield, how resentment formed from being the strong one and how faith felt confusing when life made her question her worth.

Her crips and bloods comparison showed the intensity of the reactions she receives.

These insights offer a new way to understand what experiences we may need to release so we can move forward. We also talked about the fun parts.

    What Does It Mean to Be an Agnostic Atheist? with @coltenbarnaby - Xperience #84

    "Faith isn’t a switch you flip or a muscle you flex. It’s like gravity ...when it’s there, you feel it pulling you, and when it’s gone, there’s no pretending it’s still there." Colten Joel Thane Barnaby This Earth Xperience explores belief, love, and what it means to evolve beyond what you were taught without losing your desire to understand. Colten Joel Thane Barnaby, a former Pentecostal raised in a multigenerational family of pastors, shares his journey from childhood faith to questioning every structure that shaped him. Once a Bible scholar and seminary student, Colten now identifies as an agnostic atheist with an open curiosity toward truth, consciousness, and human connection. Together we explore what happens when the search for truth outgrows certainty. Colten recalls his early experiences speaking in tongues at five years old, his family’s deep church legacy, and the moment he realized that understanding mattered more than agreement. The conversation moves from deconstructing faith to redefining love through personal experience and philosophy, weaving insights from thinkers like Bell Hooks and Scott Peck. Colten’s reflections extend beyond religion into what it means to live and love consciously. He describes marriage as both fragile and sacred, not because it is unbreakable but because it requires constant care. He challenges capitalist and individualistic systems that isolate people from community and argues that true humanity depends on interdependence, not independence. Each Earth Xperience has its own fingerprint, shaped by the story of the guest. The X represents anything you choose to explore, express, or expand. In this episode, the X is an Experience with Colten Joel Thane Barnaby, a writer, creator, and podcast host who explores belief systems, spirituality, and human connection through honest conversation.
