What happens when you follow your intuition across the globe to ancient sacred sites? Katherine Eady's journey to Greece transformed not only her spiritual practice but her entire relationship with her body and emotions.

Details

Despite having no ancestral connection to Greece and battling significant social anxiety, Katherine felt called to join a spiritual retreat to Delphi and other sacred sites. The experience demanded perfect love and perfect trust—surrendering to the unknown with strangers who would quickly become profound spiritual connections. At the Oracle of Trifonios, Katherine participated in a powerful fear release ceremony that began dissolving lifelong anxieties. In the ancient, unexcavated city of Gla, she experienced one of her deepest meditative states ever while chanting with her group in a liminal gateway space.

Most surprising was Katherine's realization that true spiritual connection doesn't come from escaping the body but from fully inhabiting it. Having grown up in a religious environment where only pleasant emotions were acceptable, she had spent decades suppressing her authentic feelings, resulting in physical manifestations like chronic tension and digestive issues. Through embodiment practices at the retreat, she began the challenging work of identifying and expressing the full spectrum of emotions—rage, grief, shame, and joy.

Perhaps most magical was her unexpected connection with the land spirits of Greece. In the Valley of the Muses, she could sense the wind spirits moving through the mountains before physically feeling the breeze. This reciprocal relationship between humans and the land became a powerful lesson: "We find healing in the land, but the land also can find healing in us."

Whether you're seeking spiritual transformation, emotional freedom, or simply a deeper connection with the natural world, Katherine's story reminds us that sacred journeys happen both externally and internally. What might you discover when you step into perfect trust?

The iconic psychic, author, podcaster and instructor Deb Bowen doesn't just teach spirituality—she lives it. With bare feet touching the earth and altars scattered throughout her home, she embodies the earth-based wisdom she's cultivated over more than five decades of metaphysical study.

Details

Our conversation with this beloved spiritual educator and co-host of the Psychic Teachers Podcast reveals how profoundly her approach to intuitive work has evolved. "I don't think of myself so much as a psychic anymore," Deb confesses, explaining that her mission has shifted toward helping humanity reconnect with Mother Earth. This environmental consciousness permeates everything from her writing to her teaching, grounded in the belief that we exist within "the great giving circle" where humans hold no special place above other beings.

Deb's new book, "Crafting the Wheel of the Year," co-authored with Claire Gelder, guides readers through the eight Celtic seasonal celebrations with historical context, spiritual teachings, and accessible craft projects. From Samhain (October 31st) marking the Celtic new year to Mabon at the autumnal equinox, these observances reconnect us with natural cycles too often forgotten in our supermarket-supplied lives. "We forget that bag of carrots used to live in the dirt," she reminds us, "and we forget the people who grew them and picked them."

Throughout our discussion, Deb weaves together threads from numerous spiritual traditions while emphasizing discernment—the critical thinking that helps each person discover their own truth. Her inclusive approach mirrors her experience teaching Tarot, where she sees the cards not merely as divination tools but as guides to understanding our connection with ourselves and the world around us.

Whether discussing the Beatles' influence on her spiritual journey or offering her friend Joel's wisdom—"push pause, be present, see the spirit"—Deb delivers profound insights with warmth and authenticity. Her teachings remind us that true spirituality isn't about escaping the world but embracing our place within it more fully.

Imagine a life where you're no longer held captive by the patterns, trauma, and limiting beliefs that formed during your earliest years. A life where you understand your true needs, communicate with clarity and compassion, and approach every relationship from a foundation of self-love rather than desperation or fear.

Psychic medium and holistic coach Melissa Gentile Bishop joins us to unveil the Revolutionary Love Program (RLP), a transformative 12-week journey that combines Eastern and Western healing modalities to release energetic blocks stored in our bodies. These blocks, formed between ages 0-12, create patterns that repeat throughout our lives until we consciously break them.

Details

"Who remembers what happened at two years old that created this thing in me that tells me I can't love fully?" Melissa asks, highlighting how RLP uses kinesiology (muscle testing) and acupressure to identify and release these unconscious patterns. The program bridges the gap between mind and body, addressing the disconnection that occurs when we try to overcome emotional blocks through willpower alone.

After leaving her successful but unfulfilling corporate career, Melissa created her holistic studio Wholehearted in Dover to help others avoid the suffering she experienced. "I sat in my shit for so damn long," she candidly shares. "Now, 20 years later, I feel like I'm just finally living my life, full of love and vibrance and authentically who I am."

The most profound revelation from RLP might be its redefinition of boundaries and vulnerability. "Boundaries aren't ways to keep people out—they're ways to teach people how to love us," Melissa explains. Through conscious relating, we learn to see others as they truly are while honoring our own needs, creating authentic connections rather than codependent attachments.

Whether you're struggling with relationships, seeking deeper self-understanding, or simply tired of repeating the same patterns, Melissa's insights offer a roadmap to liberation. Ready to break free from what no longer serves you and step into your authentic self? This conversation might be the first step on your revolutionary journey.

Ever felt stuck between rigorous spiritual discipline and free-flowing intuition? Kacie Knight, founder of Luminous Evolution, reveals a profound middle path in this illuminating conversation about evolutionary alchemy.

Details

Kacie's journey begins with a childhood vision at age eight—engulfed in white light and told she would become a spiritual teacher. This prophecy eventually manifested through her unique system integrating movement arts, intuitive practices, and structured transformation. As a former professional hula hooper and dance teacher, she discovered that flow states offer powerful gateways to spiritual connection when properly contained.

The conversation takes a revolutionary turn with Kacie' 's "Sparkle Field" concept—a refreshing alternative to traditional spiritual shielding. Rather than operating from fear-based protection that keeps your nervous system in fight-or-flight, Casey teaches raising your vibration to create a natural deflector where "no ick can stick." This high-frequency field not only prevents energetic drainage but acts as a magnetic beacon, attracting aligned connections while naturally repelling what doesn't match your essence.

One of the most liberating revelations comes when Kacie addresses perfectionism in spiritual practice. "A master has failed a hundred million times more than a beginner has even tried," she reminds us, sharing how her own fear of looking bad once blocked her progress and joy. This shift from efforting to allowing unlocks reliable access to intuitive gifts—creating what Kacie calls a "direct hotline to the divine" that works when needed without controlling it.

Kacie also shares glimpses into her multidimensional awareness, including experiences with planetary systems where consciousness updates flow through entire populations simultaneously, reminding us of the expanded awareness awaiting our collective evolution.

As global upheaval continues, Kacie's parting wisdom offers both comfort and empowerment—to resource ourselves through divine connection and to recognize that maintaining joy isn't spiritual bypassing but revolutionary action that amplifies our creative power in transforming the world.

The lands we walk upon hold soul-level memories. The cities we inhabit were built by many hands—some working freely, many others in chains. Our very identities are shaped by histories both acknowledged and erased. In this powerful conversation with ethnic studies scholar Maria, we explore how settler colonialism created enduring structures of inequality that continue to impact our spiritual and social reality.

Details

Maria helps us understand how colonial powers systematically removed indigenous peoples from their lands while forcing enslaved Africans to work that same land—creating hierarchies that persist today. This isn't distant history. These patterns of displacement, exploitation, and categorization continue to shape our modern experiences, from census boxes that can't contain our complex identities to immigration policies that separate families and communities.

What emerges most powerfully is how we might begin healing these deep wounds. Maria shares her own journey of reconnecting with ancestry despite missing pieces, showing how we can reclaim identity through creative means—studying local histories, preserving family stories, and finding contextual understanding when direct knowledge is unavailable. She challenges the terminology used to categorize people, explaining why labels like "Hispanic" can perpetuate colonial erasure while terms like "Latino" or "Chicano" emerged from communities claiming their own narratives.

The conversation takes a transformative turn when Maria introduces the concept of joy as resistance. "If you give up your joy, you're giving up your humanity," she explains, revealing how maintaining moments of connection and happiness becomes a radical act in the face of dehumanization. This spiritual survival strategy has helped communities endure unimaginable hardship while preserving their essential humanity.

As we navigate increasingly divisive times, Maria offers a vision of healing that begins in our immediate environments—classrooms, households, and community spaces where we can practice solidarity across differences. These "microcosms of understanding" create ripple effects that gradually shift larger patterns of division. The episode concludes with a powerful invocation from organizer Pedro Rios: "What is solidarity if not love?"

Join us for this soul-stirring conversation that honors historical truth while revealing pathways toward collective healing. Subscribe now and share this episode with anyone seeking to understand how our past shapes our present—and how we might create a more just and loving future.

******WARNING: ANIMAL ABUSE DISCUSSED******

What if you could truly understand what your beloved pet is thinking? What if the barriers between species weren't as impenetrable as we've been led to believe? In this captivating conversation with psychic-medium Melissa Engerman, we explore the profound connections possible between humans, animals, and the spiritual realm.

Details

Melissa shares her remarkable journey as an intuitive who has communicated with spirits and animals since childhood. Rather than seeing these abilities as extraordinary, she approaches them with refreshing humility: "Everyone can talk to pets. Everyone can talk to spirits. I don't have any special abilities." This perspective opens doorways for listeners to reconsider their own intuitive capabilities and relationship with the natural world.

The conversation takes fascinating turns as Melissa explains her process of animal communication—working primarily with photographs, entering a meditative state, and receiving information through mental images, physical sensations, and intuitive knowing. She shares touching stories of helping a diabetic dog understand the importance of insulin shots and mediating peace between household pets. These anecdotes aren't just heartwarming; they demonstrate practical applications of energy work that can transform relationships between pets and their humans.

Beyond technique, Melissa offers a philosophical framework that honors animals as conscious beings with emotions comparable to humans. "They feel the same way that humans feel," she explains, challenging listeners to approach animals with greater respect for their autonomy and needs. Her compassionate approach extends to humans too, as she emphasizes meeting people where they are in their understanding of animal care, recognizing that problematic behaviors often stem from lack of knowledge rather than malice.

Ready to explore new dimensions of connection with the animals in your life? Follow Melissa's work at www.ReikiByMelissa.com or join one of her community Reiki sessions at Tranquili-Chi to experience the transformative power of energy healing firsthand. Open your mind to the possibility that the beings around you—furred, feathered, or otherwise—might understand more than you think, and might just be waiting for you to understand them too.

***** WARNING: SUICIDE AND SUBSTANCE USE DISCUSSED *****

Mary Beth Coster's spiritual journey defies conventional narratives about faith and redemption. When her husband stood at the brink of suicide, Mary Beth—a self-described "broken" person with no strong religious foundation—made a desperate plea to a God she wasn't sure existed. What followed transformed not just their marriage, but their entire approach to life.

Details

In this deeply moving conversation, Mary Beth recounts how divine intervention prompted her to share long-held secrets with her husband, creating a foundation of radical honesty that saved their relationship. "You leveled the playing field," he told her, finding connection rather than judgment in her confessions. This pivotal moment led them to the Mormon church as authentically flawed humans presuming acceptance for who they truly were.

Perhaps most remarkable is how Mary Beth and her husband overcame years of addiction. Both struggled with opioid dependency, with Mary Beth also battling alcoholism. Through prayer, they quit "cold turkey overnight"—a transformation that three years later has left them physically, mentally, and spiritually renewed.

Throughout our conversation, Mary Beth demonstrates how maintaining personal power within religious structures creates true freedom. Whether discussing her telepathic abilities, her compassion for LGBTQ+ individuals, or her profound connection with rescued animals, she embodies the radical authenticity she preaches. "I'm tired of hiding," she declares, challenging listeners to examine whether their spiritual practices enhance or diminish their authentic selves.

For anyone who has felt too broken, too honest, or too different for traditional spiritual paths, Mary Beth's story offers liberation. Her powerful message reminds us that our most painful moments can become our greatest strengths when we stop hiding and start demanding acceptance for who we truly are. The chains that once bound her have fallen away, leaving a life "we can't wait to happen." What chains might you be ready to shed?

*** BRIEF MENTION OF SUICIDE IN EPISODE ***

What if your spiritual journey began before you were even born? For IO Kirkwood, a metaphysical practitioner with 38 years of experience, that's exactly how it started—"in utero." Descended from an Irish priestess tradition from County Cork, IO shares how she reconnected with ancestral gifts that had been refused for two generations before her.

Details

From fairy contact at age four to leading a Maiden, Mother, and Crone community today, IO's path reveals profound insights about human potential and divine connection. She challenges conventional spiritual frameworks, explaining, "I don't worship anything. What I do is co-create with these beings, these frequencies, these energies." This perspective places sovereignty at the center of spiritual practice—we aren't subordinate to higher powers but active participants in creation.

One of the most practical tools IO shares is the "cancel, cancel, cancel, delete" technique for interrupting negative thought patterns. Since "your environment reflects back to you exactly what you think," this simple mantra helps reprogram subconscious beliefs that limit our potential. She explains how our bodies don't understand negation, making positive affirmations far more effective than trying to negate negative thoughts.

IO's work empowering women through her community group addresses how patriarchal culture has diminished women as they age. She offers a fascinating perspective on feminine and masculine energies—how women naturally multiply energy while men concentrate it, and how menopause gives women access to both abilities, creating a natural spiritual completeness that ancient magical traditions sought to achieve.

Whether she's discussing sound healing, magical practices, or the importance of authenticity as "the highest frequency," IO's insights invite us to recognize our divine nature and take responsibility for our spiritual development. Join us for this extraordinary conversation that might just change how you view yourself, your thoughts, and your place in the cosmos.
