Supernaut is a podcast about spirituality, sobriety, suicide, and the full spectrum of being human. Hosted by Beth Kelling, the show opens space for honest conversations about healing, identity, and the parts of life we often keep quiet. As the show has grown, mental health has become a defining theme. Many guests have shared deeply personal experiences with anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, and loss. In response, Supernaut is dedicating more space to conversations around suicide—approaching the topic with care, honesty, and compassion. The goal is not to sensationalize pain, but to reduce stigma, encourage vulnerability, and remind people that struggling does not mean failing—and that help, connection, and light are possible. Whether you’re sober-curious, spiritually inclined, or simply looking for real conversations that make you feel less alone, you’re welcome here. If you or someone you love is struggling with suicidal thoughts, help is available in the U.S. by calling or texting 988. If you’re outside the U.S., visit findahelpline.com.

    Second Chances, and Self-Respect - Brianne McClellan

    Ever wonder what it looks like to stop drifting and start choosing? Brianne joins us for a raw, energizing conversation about designing a life around joy, clarity, and self-trust—after nine addresses in Texas, a strategic escape from an abusive relationship, and a bold career pivot into suicide prevention. We dig into the practical side of change: how audiobooks and a relentless reading habit feed curiosity, why a calmer relationship with alcohol starts with knowing your body’s early signals, and how skepticism toward organized religion can coexist with genuine spiritual wonder. Brianne shares the red flags she ignored, the logistics of leaving safely, and the healing that followed—right down to the boundaries she now guards, including the possibility of never cohabiting again. Her story reframes “independence” not as isolation, but as a commitment to the life she refuses to outsource. On work, she walks us from test-driven classrooms to a role that blends education and mental health impact, naming what burnout feels like and the tools that helped—medication, better-fitting therapy, and honest self-inquiry. We talk pruning friendships without guilt, the post-COVID social reset, and saying no to keep your yes meaningful. And then there’s the play: a Kansas cattle drive, the Pacific Coast Highway, and travel as a video game where each new place unlocks a level in your inner world. If you’re rethinking boundaries, learning to trust your gut, or plotting your next brave move, this episode is your green light. Hit follow, share this with a friend who needs courage today, and leave a review with the one boundary you’re committing to next. 0:00 Setting The Stage & A Song 0:26 Chasing Joy, Peace, And Adventure 2:55 Texas Years And Many Moves 3:21 Books, Audiobooks, And Favorites 6:10 A Calmer Relationship With Alcohol 8:21 Faith, Skepticism, And Soul Contracts 12:14 From Teaching To Suicide Prevention 15:04 Anxiety, Panic, And Finding Therapy 18:56 Naming Abuse And Planning An Exit 23:44 Healing, Boundaries, And Red Flags 27:18 Pruning Friendships And COVID Effects 30:06 Identity, Small Towns, And Self 32:30 Rethinking Marriage, Kids, And Meaning 35:02 Big Travel Plans And A Cattle Drive 38:07 How Friends See Brianne 41:20 Nash The Bar Dog And Animal Love 44:10 Nature Club Origins And Early Media 46:08 Advice To The Next Generation 48:18 Doomscrolling, Limits, And Habits 51:22 Closing Reflections

    Survived A War, Crossed An Ocean, And Chose Joy - Johnny

    A regiment marched past a third-grade window and changed everything. That image—nerves buzzing with music and boots—became the first chapter in Johnny Akkerman’s extraordinary journey from wartime Holland to small‑town Minnesota, where work, mentorship, and community would give shape to a long and generous life. We sit with Johnny as he recalls food scraped from gardens, nights split by bomber engines, and the odd tenderness of liberation: Canadian trucks, flares in the sky, and a slice of bread so white it felt like a miracle. At 23 he boards a Dutch ocean liner, lands in New York, and rattles west on a stop‑and‑go train crowded with strangers and kindness. Minnesota greets him with relatives, a modest house, and a factory where a patient foreman teaches welding, blueprints, and the confidence to lead. That lesson in trust becomes Johnny’s signature: encourage others until they can do it on their own. The road turns into a career installing dairy equipment across 47 states, then Spain’s Granada and the hills beyond Rio. Eventually, he trades airports for roots—marriage, kids, and decades in plant maintenance—while pouring energy into the town’s shared heartbeat: JCs, Lions, Vasaloppet. He helps build what neighbors need—an ice arena, a swimming pool, and the iconic orange Dala horse—painting its intricate design from scaffolds and later guiding its restoration like a rolling art studio under open sky. Between service and steel, there’s play: learning golf at 47, cheering every shot, and yes, stepping into a swamp up to his neck before finishing the round an hour later. Johnny talks health and longevity with disarming clarity—genes matter, movement helps, and joy is fuel. On faith, he’s secular but grateful; for him, right and wrong come from family and the daily practice of showing up. Come for war memories and immigration grit; stay for a masterclass in purpose without pretense. If you love stories about resilience, mentorship, civic pride, and the art of making a place better than you found it, this one will stick.

    Struggles, Silver Linings & Conquering Imposter Syndrome

    What happens when the storm never really passes? Matt joins us for a candid, grounded conversation about living with Crohn’s disease, navigating sleep-starved years, and making the tough calls that trade comfort for health. We start with a song about mortality that turns into a lesson on gratitude, then walk through small-town mischief, parenting in a screen-first world, and what it means to let kids learn by bumping into life. The health journey is raw and practical: ER runs, a major surgery, meds that stop working, and the looming choice of an ostomy balanced against the promise of finally sleeping through the night. Food rules change by the day, fiber becomes a hazard, and hydration turns strategic—right down to DIY electrolytes. Matt also explains why he stopped drinking without a dramatic bottom, how that disrupted the Midwest rhythm of “everything includes beer,” and why friendships that last are about presence, not pints. Imposter syndrome gets a frank takedown. A single sentence—“If you didn’t belong here, you wouldn’t be here”—reframes self-doubt, but the daily work is mindset: growth over certainty, feedback over ego, and listening as a leadership skill. We touch AI and information overload, choosing focus instead of doomscrolling, and why “touch grass” isn’t a joke but a reset. Through it all, usefulness becomes a compass: be steady for your people, set real boundaries, and keep community close—at work, at home, and on the golf course where joy still gets a front-row seat. If this talk gives you one sentence you needed, share it with a friend.

    Saving Lives Starts With Saying Something – a New Chapter for Supernaut

    The numbers hit us first: construction workers die by suicide at alarming rates, and the mix of long hours, layoffs, injuries, pain meds, and identity loss is brutal. A grant could have accelerated our response, and we swung big. We didn’t win it. Instead of quitting, we chose something bolder—rebuilding our show around candid mental health stories from the people who live them, especially in blue-collar communities. We talk through the pivot with honesty and care. Veda shares her own season of suicidal ideation: the isolation after graduation, a Minnesota winter that wouldn’t end, and a cold walk by a frozen river she chose not to enter. There’s no tidy lesson, only evidence that hope often looks like a small decision held for one more minute. We trace how anxiety hides in plain sight, why seasonal depression sneaks up, and how simple tools—routine, movement, sunlight, and real connection—start to turn the tide. We keep experts close, but we center lived experience and protect every guest with ethical editing and consent. Action matters too. We joined a regional coalition and helped distribute free gun locks because reducing access to lethal means saves lives. We’re launching a GoFundMe to cover production costs so we can keep creating a safe space with high-quality audio, thoughtful edits, and zero pressure on guests. Along the way, we explore the thread that ties our themes together—spirituality, sobriety, suicide, and self. From the Ho’oponopono mantra to practical coping strategies, we offer paths that are human, not hyped. If someone comes to mind while you listen, send them this episode. That share might be the lifeline. If this mission resonates, subscribe, leave a review, and share with a friend who needs to hear a real story today.

    Suffering in Silence - Adam Kerr

    What if the voice that says “stop” is just the first hill, not the finish line? Adam Kerr joins us to trace a path from blackout drinking and teenage suicidal ideation to winter ultras, last-person-standing backyard races, and a meditation practice that opened into awakening. The story isn’t about medals. It’s about levers: the moment you cut ties with wet places, the morning you run before the day runs you, the lap where accepting pain hurts less than fighting it, and the breath that brings you back to now. We dig into the nuts and bolts that make the mindset real: hiring a coach to fix imbalances, learning to fuel on time so your race doesn’t end early, and using volunteers, crew, and community as non-negotiable support. Adam breaks down the Arrowhead 135 in subzero temps, the strategy of 4.167-mile hourly loops for 42 straight hours, and the strange clarity that comes after a night of hallucinations when sunrise resets the nervous system. He also shares how sobriety began not with spectacle but with a quiet morning where a new lever appeared—then the hard years of rebuilding hobbies, navigating bars, and choosing better tools. Underneath the miles runs a deeper current: Transcendental Meditation, breathwork, and stoicism as daily practices to shorten the distance back to calm. Adam describes moments of awakening and nonduality in clear language—no mystic gatekeeping, just the recognition that presence was always here. We talk leadership on job sites, moving from command to service, and why ultras are a masterclass in community: you don’t pass someone struggling; you help them reach daylight. If you’re curious about endurance training, sobriety, mental health, or spiritual practice, this conversation offers grounded tactics and a hopeful map. Listen, share with someone who needs a lever, and if it resonates, subscribe and leave a review to help others find the show.

    Simplicity & The Secret Lives of Trees - Andrew Kelling

    What if the simplest rule—live one day at a time—could quiet the noise long enough to hear your life speak back? We sit down with my dad, Andrew, to follow that thread from a favorite hymn into the woods, where white oaks feed deer and squirrels and teach us how to trust what’s right in front of us. Nature becomes a mirror: colors of birds, the memory of elephants, and the way a farm turns attention into prayer. Andrew shares how timing everything once drove his work and drained his peace—bales per hour, minutes per foot massage, always measuring. Patience arrived by practice and by choosing encouragement over critique, even if that meant praising a teenager’s clean ceiling when the floor was chaos. He faced stage fright in a community play and trained his brain with tiny habits like tying the other shoe first. The principle stays simple: fear shrinks when you move toward it, gently and often. We talk about grief after his brother’s sudden death, the years when faith narrowed to a thin line, and the moment he accepted that not every answer heals. John 3:16 and the promise that no one can snatch us from the shepherd’s hand brought warmth and confidence. A hospital visit led to a psalm for a woman who had never been to church; two days later, she was gone. He calls it listening for nudges and acting with care, one person at a time. There’s practical wisdom too: don’t make decisions when you’re high or low; wait for the middle. Know the difference between needs and wants. Give, save, and ask if the next purchase is a comfort or a calling. By the end, we circle back to legacy: appreciate people while they’re here, live more relaxed than your clocks suggest, and assume beauty inside the stone. Andrew hopes his grandkids choose gratitude, kindness, and faith—and skip the habit of timing every minute. If you’re hungry for grounded wisdom, quiet courage, and stories that nudge you toward gentleness, this conversation will stay with you. If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs steadier footing, and leave a review with your favorite takeaway so we can keep the conversation going. 0:00 Welcome And The Song Choice 0:21 Living One Day At A Time 0:45  Nature’s Lessons And The White Oak 2:39 Animals, Beauty, And God’s Creativity 3:05 Faith In Nature Versus Church 3:33 Learning Patience And Timing Life 5:36 Encouragement Over Criticism 6:18 Facing Fears Through Community Theater 8:14 Brain Habits And Small Challenges 9:10 Volunteering And Changing Your Attitude

    Sleep, Creativity, And The One Percent Rule - Kody Hughes

    Start with a song, end with a blueprint. Our conversation with editor and creator Kody Hughes begins with Billy Joel’s Vienna and opens into a candid exploration of creative ambition, perfectionism, and the one percent rule. Kody shares how a decade of pushing through stress turned into a simple resolution with outsized returns: get more sleep. Not as a nice-to-have, but as a system that sharpens thinking, softens reactivity, and makes better art. We dig into the compounding power of tiny improvements and the trap of trying to overhaul everything at once. Imposter syndrome shows up, but so does the caveman test for modern fears and a practical way out: intentional constraints. From time-boxed “research” and AI summaries to replacing doom scrolls with focused analysis, Kody shows how structure protects attention. Atomic Habits makes an appearance via never miss twice, a wall tracker for fifty finished books, and a gym streak that survives real life. The heart of the episode lives at the crossroads of creativity and livelihood. Kody unpacks the thrill and toll of commercializing a hobby, the ceiling-free draw of entrepreneurship, and the paradox of protecting play inside paid work. We explore the spaghetti theory—throw ideas until one sticks—and the courage to triple down when it does. Insights Discovery adds a collaborative edge: understanding yellow vs blue minds turns friction into fluency. And Rick Rubin’s The Creative Act threads through it all, reframing creativity as a way of seeing: mindful meals, present walks, and noticing the inner signal beneath the noise. If you’re balancing family, deadlines, and an inner critic, this conversation offers an honest map: sleep more, aim small, miss once not twice, and let imperfections be the human signal your work needs. Subscribe, share this with a friend who’s building their craft, and leave a review telling us the tiniest change you’ll make this week. 0:00 Meet Kody Hughes And A Song That Stuck 2:50 Interpreting Vienna And Timeless Lyrics 5:35 One Percent Better And Perfectionism 9:40 Turning 30, Kids, And Risk Tolerance 13:05 Fear, Imposter Syndrome, And Stress 16:35 Sleep As A Superpower 20:10 Resolutions, Books, And Cutting Scrolling 23:15 Habits, Gym Streaks, And Atomic Habits 26:15 Personality Colors And Communication 30:05 AI Summaries, Time, And Podcasting 33:40 Commercializing Hobbies And Perspective 38:30 Career Pivots, You Betcha, And Drive

    So Lonely, So Connected, So Human

    A single song can crack open a whole conversation about being human. Starting with The Police’s So Lonely, we explore how loneliness and connection can live in the same breath—and how that breath becomes the bridge. Our guest, astrologer, yoga therapist, and sound artist Amy Jensen, shares a life woven from art school charcoal, a euphonium’s brass, Sanskrit syllables, Reiki sessions, and the steady practice of paying attention. Together we unpack what resonance really means, why humming is underrated medicine, and how simple rituals reset a frayed nervous system. We dive into the ethics of spiritual work: how to offer readings that empower rather than imprison, why consent matters with energy, and how to avoid oversimplified astrology stereotypes. Amy traces her training through Kriya yoga, Heart of Sound, and iRest Yoga Nidra, showing how mantra and Nidra shift us from performance to presence. If you’ve ever wondered whether sound healing is for you, you’ll hear clear distinctions between analytic insight from charts and the direct experience of a sound bath where the thinking mind can rest. We also take on skepticism and stigma with nuance. Amy has taught in communities wary of yoga or astrology, and she reveals practical language choices that keep doors open. We discuss division fatigue, Kali Yuga, and choosing unity through tiny, embodied acts: soften the jaw, lengthen the exhale, hum for two minutes, and watch how your perception changes. Along the way, you’ll pick up journaling prompts, mantras for clearing (hello Ganesha) and for love-forward living (Krishna), plus a simple frame for protecting your energy online and offline. If you’re craving tools that are grounded, accessible, and surprisingly joyful, this conversation is your map. Tap play, then tell us what practice brings you back to yourself. If the show resonated, follow, share with a friend who needs a gentle reset, and leave a quick review to help others find us. 0:00 Opening, Loneliness And Connection 1:15 Meet Amy: Art, Yoga, Astrology 3:10 Music As A Gateway To Nonduality 5:20 A Past-Life Reading And Its Impact 7:50 Ethics Of Readings And Symbolism 10:15 Early Pull Toward Spirit And Art 13:00 From Euphonium To Visual Art 16:20 Yoga Studies And Finding Teachers 19:30 Mantra, Tantric Sound, And Healing 22:10 Breath As The Unifying Thread 24:40 Humming, Sanskrit, And Brain States 27:00 Who Benefits From Astrology Or Sound 29:00 As Above So
