What if spiritual growth isn’t about belief, manifestation, or bypassing reality — but about understanding how reality actually works?

In this episode of Why Isn’t Everyone Doing This?, Emily sits down with Sarah Elkhaldy, mystic, teacher, and host of Mystery Teachings on Gaia, for a clear, rigorous conversation about free will, karma, destiny, and spiritual evolution.

Sarah explains how ancient mystery teachings were designed to initiate real changes in consciousness, not to comfort or inspire. Together, they explore how free will operates between fate and karma, what sovereignty truly requires, and why responsibility is central to spiritual growth. This conversation bridges mysticism and natural law, offering a grounded framework for understanding evolution beyond spiritual aesthetics.

They also discuss the concept of homo luminous, the next stage of human evolution, and why presence in the simplest moments can become a profound initiation when awareness is fully engaged. Throughout the episode, Emily and Sarah examine discernment, embodiment, and why not all spiritual paths lead to the same outcomes.

This episode is for anyone who feels called to move beyond inspiration and into a deeper understanding of how consciousness evolves through choice, presence, and responsibility.

What does it actually mean to work with the divine feminine as a lived force?

In this episode of Why Isn’t Everyone Doing This?, Emily sits down with Alana Fairchild, spiritual teacher and oracle creator, for a grounded, illuminating conversation about Isis, feminine power, truth, and rebirth.

Together, they explore the divine feminine as a source of creative intelligence, spiritual authority, and radical honesty. Not something symbolic or abstract, but something that requires courage, embodiment, and responsibility. Alana shares how archetypes like Isis and Kuan Yin carry distinct medicines for our time, and why real transformation asks us to love what is being revealed rather than bypass it.

The conversation moves through sacred sexuality, shadow, initiation, and the difference between power that dominates and power that restores. Midway through the episode, Emily and Alana open a shared prayer and oracle transmission, inviting listeners into a direct experience of reflection and remembrance.

This episode offers a deeper understanding of how feminine wisdom works, both personally and collectively, and how to stay rooted in love as truth surfaces.

If you are navigating change, revelation, or a sense that something ancient is returning, this conversation will help you meet it with clarity and steadiness.

What if your purpose isn’t something you need to find, but something you remember by letting go of who you thought you were supposed to be?

In this episode of Why Isn’t Everyone Doing This?, Emily sits down with Sadhvi Bhagawati, spiritual leader, humanitarian, and longtime resident of Rishikesh, India, for a conversation that spans identity, dharma, devotion, service, and the quiet joy of surrender. Sadhviji shares her journey from a successful Western life to answering an inner call that led her to the banks of the Ganges more than three decades ago, not as an escape from the world, but as a deeper way of being in it. Together, they explore what dharma really means beyond career or calling, why success so often leaves people feeling empty, and how purpose emerges naturally when we stop striving and start listening. The conversation moves into the profound collective experience of the Maha Kumbh Mela, where hundreds of millions of people gather not around identity, politics, or achievement, but shared remembrance. Sadhviji explains how these ancient gatherings dissolve the illusion of separation and offer a lived experience of unity that can’t be understood intellectually, only felt. Emily and Sadhviji also explore the Vedic understanding of immortality, not as something physical, but as the wisdom of knowing yourself beyond the body, the story, and the personal narrative. They talk about releasing identity without abandoning responsibility, how service becomes effortless when it’s aligned, and why happiness isn’t something we earn, it’s what remains when we stop resisting life.

This episode is not about becoming someone new. It’s about remembering who you already are.

In This Episode, We Explore: • What dharma really means beyond career or productivity • Why success often fails to deliver fulfillment • Surrender as strength, not passivity • The Maha Kumbh Mela and collective remembrance • Identity, ego, and the freedom of letting go • Immortality as consciousness, not the body • Service as a natural expression of alignment • Finding peace without bypassing responsibility

About Sadhvi Bhagawati: Sadhvi Bhagawati is a spiritual leader, author, and humanitarian based in Rishikesh, India. She is President of the Divine Shakti Foundation, Secretary-General of the Global Interfaith WASH Alliance, and a key organizer of the Kumbh Mela. She is the author of Hollywood to the Himalayas and Come Home to Yourself, and is known worldwide for bridging Eastern wisdom with modern life through service, devotion, and interfaith leadership.

Where This Work Continues The themes in this episode — dharma, embodiment, service, and lived wisdom — are central to the work we do inside Level 3, an advanced mastermind designed to support deep integration, regulation, and spiritual leadership, with initiatory experiences that include pilgrimage in Greece.

What if the missing ingredient in healing isn’t effort, insight, or intensity — but safety? In this episode of Why Isn’t Everyone Doing This?, Emily sits down with psychiatrist, neuroscientist, and stress researcher Dr. Dave Rabin for a deep, grounding conversation about trauma, healing, psychedelics, and the nervous system.

Dr. Dave explains why the body must feel safe before real transformation can occur, how vulnerability is not a weakness but a biological gateway to healing, and why many modern approaches to growth fail because they bypass the nervous system entirely. Together, they explore the science behind touch, oxytocin, the vagus nerve, and the body’s innate pharmacy — and why regulation, not catharsis, is what allows change to last.

This conversation bridges cutting-edge neuroscience with ancient wisdom, reframing healing as a process of listening, softening, and restoring trust in the body. If you’ve been doing the work — meditating, journaling, therapy, breathwork — but still feel tense, guarded, or dysregulated, this episode offers a radically compassionate reframe.

In This Episode, We Explore: •Why safety is the foundation of all healing •How the nervous system responds to touch and presence •What “psychedelic” really means (beyond substances) •Why vulnerability is biologically necessary for change •The role of oxytocin, the vagus nerve, and regulation •Ancient medicine meeting modern neuroscience •Learning to trust the body over external metrics

Key Moments: 00:00:00 — Why vulnerability is the gateway to healing 00:04:18 — Redefining “psychedelic” through neuroscience 00:09:42 — Why safety must come before transformation 00:15:36 — Touch as the fastest language of the nervous system 00:22:14 — Oxytocin, trust, and the biology of calm 00:29:08 — Why willpower doesn’t heal trauma 00:36:41 — Eastern wisdom finally validated by Western science 00:43:27 — Self-touch, co-regulation, and restoring agency 00:50:12 — Listening to the body vs. outsourcing intuition to devices 00:57:19 — Building safety as a daily practice 01:04:03 — What real integration actually looks like 01:11:22 — Healing as remembering how to feel safe again

About Dr. Dave Rabin Dr. Dave Rabin is a board-certified psychiatrist, neuroscientist, and co-founder of Apollo Neuroscience. He has spent over 15 years researching chronic stress, trauma, and non-invasive healing modalities, including MDMA-assisted therapy, touch-based regulation, and nervous system resilience.

What if stepping back wasn’t failure, but strategy?

In this episode of Why Isn’t Everyone Doing This?, I sit down with Neha Ruch, founder of Mother Untitled and author of The Power Pause, for one of the most validating conversations I’ve had about ambition, identity, and motherhood.

Neha names something so many women feel but rarely have language for: the tension between wanting a meaningful career and wanting to be deeply present with our children, without burning ourselves out or betraying ourselves in the process. She reframes the idea of a “career pause” as an empowered, intentional choice, not a step backward, but a recalibration.

We talk about why motherhood has been intellectually and culturally diminished, how internalized capitalism keeps women stuck in guilt loops, and why the most ambitious thing you can sometimes do is choose what matters most right now. This conversation is honest, nuanced, and deeply relieving, especially if you’ve ever felt like you were failing at something when you were actually just listening to your intuition.

If you’ve ever felt pulled between ambition and presence… this episode is for you.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why motherhood has been “dumbed down” culturally • The concept of the Power Pause, and why language matters • How to make intentional choices without shame or guilt • Ambition vs. intuition (and why it doesn’t have to be either/or) • Internalized patriarchy and capitalism in working motherhood • Seasonality, boundaries, and redefining success • Why presence matters more than hours

About Neha Ruch

Neha Ruch is the founder of Mother Untitled, a leading platform for ambitious women navigating parenthood, and the author of The Power Pause. Her work is reshaping how society understands stay-at-home motherhood, ambition, and identity. Neha has been featured on Oprah, USA Today, and beyond.

Where This Work Continues

This episode touches on questions we explore more deeply inside Level 3 — how to redefine success, work with seasons instead of against them, and make choices that actually support the life you’re living now.

Level 3 focuses on the inner practices that help those choices feel steady and sustainable.

What if healing didn’t have to be solitary?
What if family — messy, imperfect, deeply conditioned family — could actually be part of the medicine?

In this episode of Why Isn’t Everyone Doing This?, I sit down with Lauren Tauss, psychedelic facilitator, teacher, and one of the clearest communicators I know in this space. Lauren has a rare ability to bring humor, rigor, compassion, and responsibility into conversations that are often either sensationalized or sanitized.

We talk about why “life itself is psychedelic,” how healing is inherently relational, and what becomes possible when we stop treating transformation as something that happens in isolation.

Lauren shares her own deeply personal journey — from anorexia and control to surrender, embodiment, and trust — and how psychedelic-assisted therapy helped rewire her relationship with her body, her family, and life itself.

This conversation isn’t about glorifying substances or breaking taboos for shock value. It’s about maturity. Integration. And learning how to say hello to yourself — instead of checking out.

If you’ve ever been curious, cautious, skeptical, or quietly fascinated by psychedelic healing… this episode will meet you with intelligence and heart.

In this episode, we explore:
• Why Lauren says “life is the biggest psychedelic” • The difference between using medicine to say hello vs. goodbye • How relational healing changes family systems • Why shame, addiction, and “drug” culture need a language upgrade • The connection between meditation, surrender, and psychedelic work • Healing body image, control, and fear at the root
• What integration actually means (and why it matters more than the experience)

Key Moments: 00:00:00 — Why isn’t everyone tripping with their family? 00:03:35 — “Life is the ceremony”: redefining what psychedelic really means 00:06:26 — Hello vs. goodbye: the two reasons people partner with substances 00:07:47 — Compassion over judgment in addiction and numbing 00:09:15 — Lauren’s first ayahuasca experience and healing anorexia 00:12:27 — “It’s time to retire your extra-small life” 00:14:41 — Body as gift: remembering the blessing of being alive 00:15:49 — Why meditation is surrender school (and prepares you for life)

Where This Work Continues

If this conversation stirred something in you, especially around integration, relationship, or embodiment, you may feel drawn to Level 3.

Level 3 is where we focus on building the inner stability, nervous system resilience, and daily practices that allow deep experiences (psychedelic or otherwise) to actually change how you live.

This episode is a transmission. Recorded live with a studio audience as part of our pilgrimage preparation, this conversation with Robert Edward Grant is a distilled journey into the mathematics of consciousness, the intelligence encoded in sacred sites, and the way reality reshapes itself through collective coherence.

Robert is a true polymath — mathematician, inventor, artist, and explorer of ancient technologies — whose work bridges geometry, music, consciousness, and the mystery traditions. In this conversation, he reveals how pyramids function as mirrors of human awareness, why math may be the original language of God, and how sacred structures were designed to activate future timelines. This isn’t about believing anything new.
It’s about remembering what you already know.

If you’ve ever felt activated by sacred sites, fascinated by ancient civilizations, or curious about how consciousness actually shapes reality — this episode will land like a remembering.

In this episode, we explore: • Why pyramids are mirrors of consciousness, not monuments • How math, music, and geometry encode spiritual intelligence • The role of individuation in divine awareness • How collective coherence creates “Mandela cascades” • Why ancient civilizations were far more advanced than we’ve been taught • How sacred sites communicate across timelines • What it means to bring heaven to earth — literally

Key Moments: 00:00:01 — The pyramid as a mirror of consciousness 00:01:06 — Individuation as the universe’s greatest value 00:02:21 — Why sacred sites activate you personally 00:03:36 — Can consciousness build structures through intention? 00:07:20 — Math as the language of God 00:11:08 — The musical notes hidden in pyramid geometry 00:12:53 — How Robert identified two previously unknown pyramids near Giza 00:15:04 — The 15th-century maps that revealed structures hiding in plain sight 00:26:02 — Collective coherence & shifting timelines 00:49:14 — Sacred sites as accelerators of remembrance

For our 100th episode, we’re bringing you a rare and deeply sacred conversation with ceremonialist, teacher, and ritual artist Isis Indriya — recorded live with the participants of our Egypt pilgrimage container. This wasn’t just an interview; it was a transmission. A remembering. A reorientation back to the technologies, rituals, and embodied wisdom that humans have used for millennia to become living temples.

Isis is one of the most devoted students and teachers of Kemet, divination, and ancient ritual arts that I’ve ever known. Her command of lineage — and her humility within it — is breathtaking. In this conversation, she guides us into what it truly means to be in devotion, to walk as a sacred vessel, and to build an inner architecture strong enough to hold the frequencies we’re calling in.

If you feel the pull toward Egypt, toward ancient remembrance, or toward rebuilding your own inner temple… this episode will speak directly to that place inside you.

In this episode, we explore:

· Why devotion is a technology, not a performance · How to build the inner architecture required for mystical work · The difference between ego-based spirituality and lineage-based service · Why ritual, prayer, and offering were central to ancient Egyptian life · How to listen for your assignment — and how to prepare your body for it · How to become a vessel strong enough to carry the frequency you’re seeking

Key Moments:

00:00:00 — Opening the space & inviting Isis to pray us in 00:01:05 — What it means to hold wisdom with humility and lineage 00:04:30 — Devotion as a living technology 00:12:44 — Building the “inner temple” as preparation for any spiritual path 00:22:51 — Why ancient Egypt was designed as a multi-layered initiation path 00:41:10 — How to discern between ego desire and true spiritual assignment 00:57:32 — The role of ritual in strengthening the nervous system 01:10:48 — Listening to land, lineage, and your body’s knowing 01:32:20 — What it means to carry Egypt inside you

If you’ve ever felt pulled toward a sacred place for reasons you can’t explain, this episode will speak to that knowing.

Emily sits down with her dear friend Kate Northrup to unravel the pilgrimage to Egypt that stretched her open, challenged every layer of her identity, and initiated her into codes she didn’t even know she was asking for. From Isis and Nephthys to masculine healing to full-body activations inside the temples, this is a story about what happens when ancient lands begin working on you.

This isn’t a travel recap. It’s an initiation.

In this episode, we explore:How Isis first came into Emily’s lifeWhy Egypt amplifies everything—pleasure, prayer, and clarityThe role Nephthys plays in creation and the unmanifestThe masculine healing that prepared Emily for this journeyWhat unfolded inside the Hathor templeWhy certain codes can only be received through lived experienceHow sacred sites reshape your understanding of purpose

This conversation with Matías de Stefano opened our entire pilgrimage container, recorded live with a “studio” audience of the souls who would soon travel with us to Egypt. Before we set foot on the land, Matías offered a transmission on what pilgrimage really is: a remembering of the future we are collectively walking toward.

Matías is a “rememberer,” someone who recalls the structure of the universe and the evolution of consciousness across epochs, not as history, but as a map of where humanity is going next. In this session, he explains how Earth’s 26,000-year cycle shapes our awakening, how the temples were built to hold future timelines, and how our bodies act as tuning forks for the planet’s next evolution.

Here’s why this matters… this episode articulates what so many people are feeling right now: the acceleration, the intuitive heat, the sense that we’re preparing for something. Matías offers a framework that helps you understand that you’re not remembering the past… you’re remembering the future your soul already chose.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why remembering the future is more accurate than remembering past lives
• The Earth’s 26,000-year cycle & the timeline we’re entering now
• Pyramids and temples as structures built to store future consciousness
• Why sacred sites activate codes you already carry
• How the Nile mirrors the rising of kundalini in the human body
• Mythology as messages from our future selves
• Humanity’s role in bringing heaven to earth

Key Moments:

• [00:00] Earth’s 26,000-year “sentence” & tuning into future timelines
• [00:07] Your spine as Egypt — consciousness rising through the body
• [00:12] What remembering actually means (and what it’s not)
• [00:16] Atlantean technology & preparing for future epochs
• [00:23] Mythology as a blueprint from beyond this timeline
• [00:28] The Nile as a map for humanity’s evolutionary trajectory
• [00:37] How the temples communicate with us now
• [00:49] Sacred sites as accelerators of remembrance

We’re continuing the Priestess Pilgrimage re-release series with one of my favorite conversations I’ve ever had — recorded in a tiny pink hotel room in Athens with my best friend, the brilliant and beloved Layla Martin.

In Part 3, we travel through Crete, one of the last known matriarchal societies on Earth. Layla and I explore what happens when feminine spiritual authority isn’t erased but honored — and how cultures change when women and men hold power side-by-side. We dive into the serpent priestesses of ancient Crete, the origins of Kundalini, the hidden role caves played in feminine rites, and what it means to turn up the dial on your own divinity in a grounded, embodied way.

We also share the very human, very messy, hilariously sacred moments inside the cave ceremony — a reminder that sometimes the divine arrives with sweat, fear, laughter, and tourists stumbling through your initiation.

If you’ve ever felt the pull toward ancient feminine wisdom or sensed there’s more to your own divinity than you’ve been taught… this episode is a homecoming.

In this episode, we explore:
• Ancient Crete & what true feminine leadership looked like • Why high priestesses held political, spiritual, and cultural authority • The serpent priestesses & how Kundalini was encoded in art • How caves became temples for birth, fertility, sexuality & magic • Using psychedelics intentionally to awaken—not escape • Preparing your body and nervous system for spiritual expansion • The real, messy moments behind mystical experiences

Key Moments:
[00:01:13] Returning from Crete & why this leg of the pilgrimage mattered [00:03:59] The soul memory that called Emily & Layla to Crete [00:04:47] Gnosis: the ancient queendom run by priestesses [00:07:21] Minoan matriarchy & serpent priestess symbolism [00:22:39] Entering the cave — the womb of the earth [00:28:11] Sacred sexuality & psychedelics as pathways to the divine [00:30:27] The cave initiation: fear, clearing & cosmic humor [00:36:03] Preparing your body for spiritual expansion [00:52:21] Mystical states without substances [01:00:08] Meditation as the foundation for integration
