What if dying is actually a skill? And what if most of us are completely unprepared for the one experience that is absolutely guaranteed to happen?
 
This week we sit down with Darnella Ford, award-winning author, trauma facilitator, and restorative guide, whose twenty-year journey into the non-physical began not with a spiritual calling, but with a breakup, a depression she couldn't shake, and a night of breathwork that sent her flying through a black void at incalculable speed.
 
What followed changed everything she thought she knew about life, death, consciousness, and what is waiting on the other side of that final breath.
 
In this episode we explore:

• Why dying requires a specific kind of surrender, and why practicing it while you're still alive might be the most important thing you ever do
• What actually happens to your consciousness the moment you leave your body
• Whether your deceased loved ones are still around, still aware, and what they are doing right now
• Why the death experience is completely customized to your own belief system
• How the life review works, and why it dissolves the illusion of separation once and for all
• Why the question isn't how to get out of the body, but how to actually be in it
• The one thing Darnella wants you to do tomorrow morning before you reach for your phone

Plus, Darnella shares the devastating personal loss that became the beating heart of her latest book, and the question she spent four years answering because of it.

Darnella's Book
The Next Breath: Life After Loss and Journeys Into the Hereafter
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FKWRNFKH

Books Referenced in the Conversation
Life After Life by Raymond Moody
The landmark book that introduced near-death experiences to mainstream awareness. Still the starting point for anyone new to the subject.


Journeys Out of the Body by Robert Monroe
Monroe's firsthand account of his out-of-body experiences, and the book that helped Darnella make sense of what was happening to her in 2006.


Adventures Beyond the Body by William Buhlman
Another foundational text Darnella turned to early in her journey, covering practical methods and experiences of out-of-body travel.
 
Practices and Modalities Mentioned
Holotropic Breathwork. The breathwork practice developed by Dr. Stanislav Grof that Darnella credits with opening the door to her first out-of-body experience. Practiced twice daily over several months before her initial experience.
 
Biomagnetic Healing. A remote energy healing modality Darnella uses in her private client sessions.

Ayahuasca. Darnella shared her experience with twenty ceremonies in the Amazon rainforest over seven years, working with a traditional shaman in Peru. She was transparent that this came thirteen years after her out-of-body experiences began, and has never produced an out-of-body experience for her personally.
 
Where to Study
Ramtha's School of Enlightenment (RSE), Yelm, Washington. Where Darnella studied Quantum Theory and Neuroscience from 2006 to 2009, and where her first out-of-body experience occurred. https://www.ramtha.com/

Will and Karen sit down with licensed hypnotherapist Cat Cazimi, co-host of Hippie Chicks Live, for a deep dive into what hypnosis really is, and whether it can fast-track you to spiritual awakening.
 
Cat breaks down the biggest myth about hypnosis: the idea that it's a sleep-like state where you lose control. In reality, she explains, hypnosis is a hyper-focused state of receptivity, not unconsciousness, and you can never be made to do or say anything you don't want to. She walks through the difference between a light trance (think scrolling your phone or watching a movie) and the deeper theta state used in therapeutic work, and shares how she works with the most resistant clients, from analytical "monkey minds" who overthink their way out of relaxing, to people who drift too far into sleep.
 
Karen and Will also revisit their own hypnosis sessions with Cat, including a moment that helped Karen finally get consistent sleep, and a lighter memory involving an impromptu "world-class pianist" suggestion.
 
The conversation turns philosophical when Will asks Cat directly: is hypnotherapy a shortcut to enlightenment? Her answer redraws the line entirely, arguing that hypnotherapy ends and self-enlightenment begins the moment you're finally willing to meet yourself.
 
Also in this episode: a listener voicemail from Toronto on the healing power of screaming into the void (walk-in freezers and airport parking lots included), a five-star review from a listener in Portugal, and a live audience Q&A covering who can and can't be hypnotized.

What actually happens after we die? Not the comforting version. Not the tunnel and the light and the everything-is-fine. The specific, structured, verifiable version…mapped in detail by someone who has spent more than 20 years studying the invisible architecture of the soul.
 
In this episode Will and Karen sit down with internationally recognized intuitive healer and bestselling author Inna Segal to explore one of the most profound and underexplored questions in all of spirituality: what the soul experiences between death and rebirth, and why understanding that journey might be the most important thing you can do while you are still alive.
 
Inna draws from her own direct experiences, including witnessing her grandmother's passing in real time and observing the etheric body leave the physical form, and from more than two decades of deep study in the work of Rudolf Steiner and the Anthroposophical tradition. The result is one of the most rigorously structured conversations about the afterlife, soul evolution, and spiritual discernment you will find anywhere in the podcast space.

What You'll Learn in This Episode

• What the soul actually moves through in the period immediately following physical death

• The three-day separation process and the role of the etheric body in holding the physical form together

• Why Rudolf Steiner's framework of subtle bodies — physical, etheric, astral, and ego — offers one of the most precise maps of human consciousness ever developed

• What the seven-year communication window is, and why departed souls gradually shift from verbal to gestural contact with the living

• How unresolved ancestral patterns, karma, and soul contracts shape both the life we live and the journey we take after it ends

• Why the soul of someone who dies by suicide enters a fundamentally different state than one who transitions naturally — and what loved ones can do to help

• How Inna's clairvoyant grandmother survived the Holocaust by trusting her own perception, and how that gift passed through the family line

• The angelic encounter that predicted Inna's career in precise, testable detail — and the phone call that arrived the same evening to confirm it

• Why Inna believes the new age industry has dangerously oversimplified the spiritual journey, and what a more honest framework looks like

• How Rudolf Steiner's predictions, made over 100 years ago, have been verified by modern discoveries in medicine, farming, and human development

Live from the vendor floor at SpiritFest USA in Virginia Beach, Will and Karen catch an unplanned conversation that turns out to be one of the most useful of the day.

Their guest never meant to be on the show, she just wandered in to check out the booths. But somewhere between talking about neuro-spicy sensory overload and a windshield-shattering road story, she lays out the exact difference between the old "prove your powers to me" psychic culture and the mindset actually changing people's lives right now.

There's a simple exercise anyone can start tonight to stop ignoring their gut. And a line about belief that might wreck a few worldviews in the room.

Grab a coffee, and don't skip the part about the rock.

What if everything you've ever been taught about the ego has been wrong? For 3,000 years, spiritual traditions have delivered the same prescription: dissolve it, transcend it, kill it. And yet, for most people, no amount of meditation, prayer, or spiritual work has made that nagging disconnection go away.

Dr. Nickolas Martin has spent 40 years in clinical psychology watching that prescription fail, and he thinks he knows exactly why. The ego, he says, isn't the enemy. It's a patient. A licensed psychologist, author of five books, and the man who literally invented the field of Egology, Dr. Nick introduces a framework he calls Ego Medicine, and it starts with a truth that stops most people cold: you can't destroy something you don't actually understand. And according to Dr. Nick, almost nobody understands what the ego actually is.

In this episode, you'll find out why the ego has no intellect, no awareness of God, and no awareness of itself... and yet still manages to be the single biggest obstacle standing between you and the life you were designed to live. You'll hear about the three dimensions of ego energy, and why being what the world calls "a big ego" and being someone who can't feel their own feelings are actually two sides of the same broken coin. You'll also hear one idea that may quietly rearrange everything you thought you knew about spiritual healing: you were born saved.

The question Dr. Nick is asking isn't how you wake up. It's how to stop from waking yourself. 

This one hits different. Come ready.

She was 240 pounds, on 28 medications, and dying in a hospital bathroom when her heart stopped.

What she saw on the other side wasn't heaven. It wasn't a tunnel. It wasn't anything she expected.

She came back with a warning that flips everything the manifestation world tells you about "vibrating higher." And it might explain why your life isn't matching your energy, no matter how grateful you try to feel.

Press play.
This one gets weird fast, and Karen has questions nobody's ever thought to ask before.

Most people who think they're listening to their intuition are actually replaying an old survival pattern. The difference matters more than you think, and once you understand it, you can't un-see it.
 
Laura Day is a New York Times bestselling author and one of the most respected intuition consultants in the world. For over 40 years she has worked with billion-dollar companies, Fortune 100 executives, and some of the most recognizable names in Hollywood. Her new book, The Prism: Seven Steps to Heal Your Past and Transform Your Future, is the framework she spent decades building. and surviving. to finally put on paper.
 
In this conversation, Laura breaks down why smart, self-aware people keep repeating the same patterns, why healing requires rebuilding rather than just understanding, and why getting what you want is actually the first step in the process. not the reward at the end of it.
 
In this episode:

• Why intuition and anxiety feel similar but work completely differently, and the one question that instantly tells you which one you're dealing with
• The reason you keep attracting the same relationships, the same dynamics, and the same outcomes. even when you know better
• What Laura means when she says "you cannot think outside the box because you are the box"
• How the first seven years of your life built the structure that is quietly running your adult decisions
• Why insight alone. no matter how much therapy, journaling, or inner work you've done. won't change the structure underneath
• The practical, non-mystical case for intuition. backed by a Nobel Laureate

Laura doesn't ask you to believe anything. She asks you to run the experiment and see what happens. 

About Laura Day
Laura Day is the author of seven books including the New York Times bestseller Practical Intuition. She has consulted for Fortune 100 companies, top talent agencies, and major legal teams, and has been featured on The Oprah Winfrey Show, Good Morning America, The View, CNN, ABC News, and the TODAY Show. Her newest book, The Prism, is available now wherever books are sold.

What if your intuition has been trying to talk to you your entire life. and you just never learned how to listen?
 
In this episode, we sit down with Dallisa Hocking, a 5th generation psychic medium, educator, and founder of Spirit & Spark, for a conversation that turns the entire psychic world on its head. Because unlike most people in her field, Dallisa is not here to tell you what's coming. Her whole mission is teaching you how to develop your own psychic abilities so you never have to outsource your inner knowing to anyone again.
 
What she calls "inner literacy" ...the ability to trust your own perception, recognize patterns, and navigate life from within... is not a gift reserved for a lucky few. It is a practical, learnable skill. And in this episode, she shows you exactly how to start building it. 

We cover a lot of ground. Dallisa shares the overnight spiritual awakening in 2015 that flipped her life from dating coach to 5th generation psychic medium, why clairsentience may be the most common and most misunderstood psychic ability, how to raise your vibration in 30 days using nothing more than meditation and morning pages, the difference between genuine intuition and fear dressed up as a gut feeling, how to set psychic hygiene boundaries so spirit is not waking you up at 3am, what recurring dreams are really trying to tell you, and the premonition she posted to Instagram days before a fatal helicopter and airplane collision in Washington DC.
 
She also takes live audience questions from around the world. and answers a few things for Will and Karen that had us both a little speechless.
 
If you have ever been told you are too sensitive, struggled to trust your own inner guidance, or wondered whether your psychic abilities are real, this one was made for you. 

This episode is part of our ongoing exploration of consciousness, spiritual awakening, and the science of the unexplained. If you are new here, welcome. This is exactly what we do.

What if your spiritual awakening wasn't meant to find you...but to break you? Dr. Amy Robbins, a clinical psychologist with 20 years of practice, received an after-death communication after her aunt passed that shattered her worldview. In this episode, she reveals how life after death experiences rewired her understanding of soul purpose, why chasing enlightenment keeps you stuck, and what actually triggers transformation. A pragmatic guide to spiritual awakening that doesn't require you to abandon science.

__________________________________

What if the very thing that broke you open was the point all along? That's the question sitting at the heart of this conversation with Dr. Amy Robbins, a clinical psychologist with nearly two decades in private practice who had her world quietly flipped inside out by something she couldn't explain away.

When her aunt passed unexpectedly, Dr. Amy received what she now understands was an after-death communication... specific, verifiable, and impossible to dismiss. What followed was a years-long journey that eventually led her to ask a question most therapists won't touch: what if we've been treating people without accounting for the most important part of them?

In this episode, Will and Karen sit down with Dr. Amy to explore what happens when science and spirit stop pretending they don't know each other.

Here's what you'll hear in this conversation:
The story of the ring. Dr. Amy describes giving a reading where she saw a specific ring with a blue stone, only for the sitter's husband to receive that exact ring from his mother two days later. the ring his late father had secretly wanted him to have.

Why "psyche" literally means soul, and how modern psychology quietly forgot that. Dr. Amy makes the case that the field didn't just drift from its roots. it left the whole person behind.

Purpose vs. essence, and why most of us are chasing the wrong thing. If you've ever felt vaguely unfulfilled despite checking all the right boxes, this reframe will stop you cold.

Why 60 to 70% of people say spirituality was central to their healing, but only 5% of therapists are trained to address it. That's a Harvard statistic, and it explains a lot about why so many people feel like their therapy sessions are missing something.

What Spiritually Informed Therapy actually looks like in a session. including what Dr. Amy does when a client's deceased loved one shows up in the room.

Will's surprisingly honest confession about why readings never seem to land for him. and Dr. Amy's gentle, slightly therapist-y response that had Karen stifling a laugh next to him.

Whether you're someone who has sat in a therapist's chair and felt like something important was left out, or someone who has had an experience you couldn't explain and had nowhere to take it, this episode is for you.

Dr. Amy Robbins is a Clinical Psychologist, Director of Mental Health at BIÂN wellness club in Chicago, and the creator of Spiritually Informed Therapy. Her podcast, Life, Death, and the Space Between, has over 2 million downloads and counting.

Hey there, we wanna tell you about someone  we believe belongs in your world. His name is John Novello, Grammy-affiliated jazz pianist, Billboard number one artist, and the man who saved his future wife's life before 9/11 with nothing but a feeling he refused to ignore.

Now, John spent six decades mastering one of the most technically demanding instruments in music, and somewhere along the way, he built an equally precise framework for something most people leave entirely to chance: how to actually hear the intelligence that has been organizing your life all along.

He calls it the Invisible Architect. And here's what makes John different. He doesn't ask you to become more. He says you need to align more. You are not broken. You are not behind. You are simply out of alignment with a power that was already generating everything you needed.

John works with a select number of clients through his Elite Perfect Life Mentoring program using the Invisible Architect Alignment Protocol.   Five stages, real mechanics, a private one-on-one experience with someone who has lived this framework across seven decades of genuine proof.

The Skeptic Metaphysicians is a spiritual awakening podcast for open-minded thinkers who refuse to check their critical thinking at the door. Each episode explores consciousness expansion, enlightenment, soul purpose, and soul growth through honest, grounded conversation with leading voices in metaphysics, psychic phenomenon, quantum healing, and beyond.

We dive deep into spiritual awakening, ascension, alignment, and the awakening process without the dogma. From mediumship and spirit guides to Arcturian contact, astrology, and the subconscious mind, we explore it all with curiosity, humor, and zero guru worship.

Whether you're in the middle of your own awakening, questioning reality, or just spiritually curious, this is the podcast for seekers and skeptics alike.

What if the feeling you keep talking yourself out of is the most reliable thing about you? Today's guest has been listening to a voice most people would have dismissed, medicated, or kept very quiet about. Instead, he followed it for seven decades through a Grammy, a Billboard number one, and a 30-year run with one of the most celebrated trios in jazz history.

He also followed it on the morning of September 11th, 2001, when it told him something was very wrong with a flight his girlfriend was about to board.

She canceled.

The flight was American Airlines 77.

It hit the Pentagon.

But that's not even the most extraordinary thing John Novello tells us today. In this conversation, we go places most interviewers never take him. We find out what it actually felt like to roll out of his body, see himself lying in bed, and watch his dog flee in terror. We find out what he saw when he floated through the roof and kept going. We find out what his late wife said to him when he found her, and why she sent him back. We also find out why he's lost two wives to the other side. and what one of them said when he visited her there too.

Along the way, John breaks down exactly why the Law of Attraction keeps failing people, what the real difference is between being the power and distributing it, and what it means to actually recruit the Invisible Architect into your life rather than just affirm your way into disappointment.

This one goes deep. And somehow, it still ends with a Maxwell House joke.
