What if death isn’t the end—but a doorway we’ve walked through countless times before?

In this episode of Better Beliefs, host Brent Edward explores one of humanity’s oldest and most controversial ideas: reincarnation. Through the story of a woman who experienced vivid past life regressions and readings from the Akashic Records, we ask a question that challenges everything Western culture teaches us about life and death: Do we live more than once?

You’ll hear what she saw on the other side of death, what those memories revealed about the soul’s purpose, and why the experience gave her peace instead of fear. Along the way, we’ll look at ancient cultures that embraced reincarnation, modern psychological skepticism, and the possibility that consciousness continues long after the body stops breathing.

If you’ve ever wondered where we go when we die—or why some lives feel connected in ways we can’t explain—this conversation might change how you see everything.

Why does it feel so good to be praised — and so painful to be criticized?

From ancient tribes to modern timelines, our brains are wired to crave belonging. But that same wiring can trap us in a lifelong chase for validation, measuring our worth through the eyes of others.

In this episode of Better Beliefs, former NFL player Chase Winovich opens up about reaching the top of his dream — and realizing the applause that once defined him could no longer sustain him. Together, we explore what happens when the crowd’s approval fades, why criticism cuts so deep, and how to begin crafting your own definition of enough.

If you’ve ever wondered why external validation feels irresistible, or how to quiet the noise of others’ opinions long enough to hear your own truth — this episode will meet you there.

🎧 Listen to learn the science behind our need for approval, the cost of chasing it, and the freedom that comes when you finally stop needing to prove yourself.

Why do some voices, songs, and stories hit us so deeply that we just know they’re true? In this episode of Better Beliefs, Brent Kocal sits down with Nahko to explore the connection between creativity, courage, and authentic expression. Together they dive into why humans feel an almost primal need to express themselves, the fear that often holds us back, and how truth carries a resonance that cuts through noise and connects us on a human level.

If you’ve ever struggled to find your voice, feared rejection, or wondered why certain words and music feel magnetic, this conversation will inspire you to listen inward, trust your truth, and express it freely.
