What's the cost of pretending to be someone you're not for 20 years? For Nick from Autistic Pod, it was nearly his life.

At 42, after hitting a depression so severe he was ready to end everything, Nick finally discovered he was autistic and ADHD. The diagnosis explained decades of feeling 'too much,' being called 'abrasive,' and struggling to understand why fitting in felt impossible. The truth? He'd been unconsciously masking—hiding his authentic self to meet societal expectations—and his body was keeping the score.

In this powerful episode, we explore:

✨ What masking really is and how it affects neurodivergent individuals

✨ The fascinating differences in how autistic and ADHD brains process information (hint: 3X more thoughts)

✨ The transformative moment at a basketball game when Nick's mom truly understood him for the first time

✨ Why we need to teach emotional intelligence alongside IQ in schools

✨ Nick's rules for life: growing every day, compassionate accountability, and distancing from toxic people

✨ How society celebrates lies and rewards those who hide their feelings best—and why that's unsustainable

Nick created his podcast 'Autistic Pod' to have these exact conversations—the ones we're too afraid to have, about trauma, depression, and what it means to be authentically yourself in a world that punishes difference.

This conversation will challenge how you think about neurodivergence, mental health, and what it truly means to be human.

How do your guides actually get your attention — and what happens when they've never been human themselves?

In this episode, Heather and Ryan dive deep into the world of divine signs and synchronicities. Ryan shares powerful personal stories, including a near-miss during an active shooter situation and a pre-COVID intuition about inventory that proved to be spot-on guidance. They explore how synchronicities aren't just coincidences — they're nudges from your guides, higher self, and the universe designed to protect you, redirect you, and help you grow.

The conversation takes a fascinating turn as they discuss the dynamics between humans and spirit guides — including the fact that most guides have never actually been human. Ryan shares how he had to teach his guides to be less intimidating, and Heather reflects on how this learning process goes both ways. They also get into the strange and wonderful ways guides communicate through technology: misaligned clocks, malfunctioning alarms, glitchy headphones, and other "unexplainable" occurrences that are anything but random.

Whether you're just starting to notice the signs or you've been in conversation with your guides for years, this episode will shift how you see the synchronicities showing up in your life.

This is one of those episodes where I step back and let someone else's story do the teaching.

Josh had it all—the career, the success, the external markers of a life that looked like it was working. But behind closed doors, alcohol had become the thing holding it all together. Until it wasn't.

In this raw and honest conversation, Josh shares his journey through addiction and into recovery—not as a cautionary tale, but as a testament to what becomes possible when we're finally willing to stop running from ourselves. We talk about the moment everything shifted, what it actually takes to rebuild from the inside out, and how his definition of "success" had to completely fall apart before he could create something real.

If you've ever wondered whether your own rock bottom could become the foundation for something greater, this one's for you.

Real person. Real story. Real transformation.

There is no more sacred spiritual work than protecting a child.

When I talk about spiritual awakening, I'm usually talking about meditation, energy work, consciousness—the internal journey. But today, we're talking about the external battle. The battle protective parents fight in family court when the system meant to protect their children is failing them.

My guest is Dr. Sandra Speer, a legal advocate who stands with these parents as they face a system that too often prioritizes abusers' rights over children's safety.

And I want to be clear about why this belongs on a spiritual podcast: Because protecting the vulnerable IS spiritual work. Because standing up to power when power is unjust IS spiritual work. Because refusing to be silent when a child is in danger IS spiritual work. The divine feminine is fierce. The divine masculine is protective. And both show up when we fight for those who cannot fight for themselves.

Dr. Speer teaches protective parents how to navigate family court strategically. How to document abuse properly. How to present their case in ways that judges will hear. How to protect their children even when the legal system is working against them. This is warrior work. This is mama bear—and papa bear—energy in action. If you're in this fight, you are doing sacred work. And Dr. Speer is here to help you do it more effectively.

Content warning: This episode discusses child abuse, domestic violence, and family court proceedings in detail. If you're a protective parent currently in litigation, please take care of yourself while listening. Some of this content may be triggering. If you're in immediate danger, please call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE (7233) or text START to 88788.

Free Coffee? Say Less. - How a cup of coffee can turn into flowing energy.

In this accessible and transformative episode, we demystify the concept of energy and help you discover what it actually feels like in your own unique body. Whether you're brand new to energy work or curious about developing your sensitivity, this episode offers a gentle introduction to understanding yourself as an energetic being.

We begin by exploring the fundamental question: What is energy? Moving beyond abstract concepts, we break down energy into tangible, relatable experiences you've likely already had—those tingles, waves of warmth, sudden chills, or moments of inexplicable knowing. You'll learn to recognize the subtle (and sometimes not-so-subtle) ways energy communicates through your physical vessel.

The episode includes simple, practical exercises you can try today:

• A 5-minute exercise to locate & experience how/where you naturally sense energy flowing into and through your body
• Hand activation techniques to feel energy between your palms
• Much more!

We're honored to share a channeled transmission from The Elders, who offer compassionate wisdom on working with your spiritual guides and support team. They remind us that we are never alone in this journey—our guides are always ready to assist us in moving energy more fluidly through our vessel. The Elders share specific ways to call upon your guides for support when energy feels stuck, overwhelming, or confusing, and how to recognize when they're already helping you, even in subtle ways.

This episode is perfect for anyone who's ever wondered, "Am I really feeling something, or am I imagining it?" and is ready to invite their spiritual support team into the practice. Let's learn to flow energy together—with a little help from above.

And if you've ever felt called to let your body move as part of your spiritual practice—this is your confirmation that you're not weird. You're channeling. This is the beginning of something beautiful.

Episode 1: Channeling the Path Forward with Ryan

In our premiere episode, we sit down with Ryan, a spiritual channeler who serves as a conduit for wisdom from beings he calls "the Elders"—ascended entities offering guidance on humanity's spiritual evolution.

What does spiritual ascension actually mean, and how do we begin? Through Ryan's channeling work, the Elders describe ascension not as a distant cosmic event, but as an immediate, personal process available to each of us right now. We explore the foundational practices they recommend: from clearing energetic blockages and raising our vibrational frequency, to developing our intuitive capacities and releasing the fears that keep us tethered to old paradigms.

The Elders speak about humanity standing at a threshold—a collective opportunity to shift into higher consciousness. But this global transformation, they say, begins with individual awakening. Ryan shares the practical steps anyone can take today, keeping it simple for anyone who might want to begin this process.

Whether you're skeptical, curious, or already deep on your spiritual path, this conversation offers a provocative framework for understanding ascension as an experiential journey rather than abstract theory. What if evolution isn't just biological or technological—but a conscious choice we make each day?

Join us as we take our first step into the unknown.
