Why Isn't Everyone Channeling? with Lee Harris

What if the voice you've been searching for has been with you all along?

In this episode of Why Isn't Everyone Doing This?, Emily Fletcher sits down with Lee Harris, energy intuitive, channeler, musician, and one of the most grounded bridges between human consciousness and cosmic intelligence alive today. Lee works with a group of 88 guides called the Zs, and in this episode, he opens his channel live on the podcast. What comes through is extraordinary.

They trace how theater and acting first prepared Lee for channeling, what happened when he heard his guides for the very first time on the London Underground at 23, and why channeling has nothing to do with trance or surrender. It's a collaboration. Then the Zs speak directly, and the conversation becomes a transmission.

The Zs weigh in on the fall of Atlantis and its uncanny parallel to AI today, why sacred sexuality has been deliberately suppressed as a gateway to the divine, how those working with pioneering frequency are as essential to humanity's future as those working in legislation, and what any one person can do right now to help birth the frequency of heaven to earth during this period of shedding.

In this episode, they explore:

– Why theater may be the world's oldest form of channeling, and how it prepared Lee for a life as a conduit

– What channeling actually is, and what it isn't

– Lee's origin story: hearing his guides for the first time on the London Underground at 23

– The difference between intuition and channeling

– How to begin channeling for yourself, and why writing it down matters

Why Isn't Everyone Quantum Leaping? with James Wedmore

James Wedmore crossed ten million in a single year. Not because he found a better strategy. Because he finally looked his deepest fear in the face.

In this episode, Emily Fletcher sits down with James Wedmore, business strategist, digital entrepreneur, and the man behind Business by Design, one of the most respected online business programs in the world. But underneath the frameworks and the launch systems lives something most people never see coming: a full-blown wizard who works with a Toltec shaman, engineers shamanic deaths as a practice, and has come to believe that quantum leaps in business and the dissolution of identity are not separate events. They are two sides of the same coin.

James went from broke, addicted to Adderall, and living in his parents' house working 14-hour days with nothing to show for it, to crossing two million, then quantum leaping to ten million in a single year. His turning point wasn't a new strategy. It was a lawsuit, a panic attack on his knees in Sedona, and the moment he finally faced the fear he had been quietly running from for years.

Emily and James trace the full arc, from the discipline of no, to controlled folly, to shamanic death, to the moment you realize there is nowhere to get to and everything changes.

In this episode, they explore:

– What a quantum leap actually is and why it always defies logic and linear time – The invisible fear quietly pumping the brakes on your results – Shamanic death: what it is, how to recognize it, and why it precedes every quantum leap – Controlled folly: the Toltec principle of caring deeply while remaining completely unattached – Why more offers doesn't make you more money, it just makes you more busy – The discipline of no and how to build containers for your cutting edge work – Why your default future is the most important thing to look at first – How James went from throwing Abraham Hicks in the trash to living down the street from his shaman in Sedona – Why the quantum leap from two to ten million came the moment he stopped letting fear drive – Lucid dreaming, the dream realm, and what his shaman is doing while James sleeps

Key Moments:

00:00 — Life force, wizards, and why James Trojan horses people with business 03:30 — From broke and addicted to Adderall to quantum leaping to $10M 08:00 — How the feminine opened James to everything 14:00 — Controlled folly: the hardest Toltec teaching James is still learning 22:00 — What a quantum leap actually is 28:00 — The lawsuit, the panic attack, and the moment everything changed 38:00 — Why conquering fear was the only strategy that worked 45:00 — The discipline of no and building layered containers 52:00 — Shamanic death explained and how to prepare for one 01:02:00 — There is nowhere to get to. Now what? 01:10:00 — Lucid dreaming and working with the shaman in the dream realm 01:18:00 — Cover yourself in Vaseline: the shaman's message for right now

Why Isn't Everyone Using Their Pleasure Consciously? with Jeremy Lipkowitz

What if the thing quietly hijacking your focus, your relationships, and your capacity for joy isn't a character flaw, but a billion-dollar industry deliberately engineering your addiction?

In this episode, Emily Fletcher sits down with Jeremy Lipkowitz, Duke-trained researcher, former Buddhist monk, and founder of Unhooked Academy, where he helps men break free from porn addiction and reclaim their inner freedom.

Jeremy's story begins at age six and escalates through the rise of high-speed internet until, by college, the habit had become a one-to-two-hour nightly ritual - despite him being a high-achieving student with what looked, from the outside, like a genuinely good life. That gap between the outer and the inner is exactly what this conversation explores.

They trace the neurological pathway from innocent curiosity to compulsive behavior, unpack the precise distinction between lust and desire, and name the Viktor Frankl principle at the heart of all addiction recovery. Emily offers the Ziva lens: why you cannot manifest from a nervous system still running on craving and lack, and how meditation is the prerequisite for desire that is truly intuitive rather than compulsive.

In this episode, they explore:
– The three A's of porn addiction: affordability, accessibility, and anonymity – How repeated porn use hardwires dissatisfaction and chronic lack into the brain – Lust vs. desire — and why you need a spiritual practice to tell them apart – "Pleasure is inevitable. Happiness is optional." What that reframe changes – The Viktor Frankl principle: between stimulus and response is where freedom lives – Why porn addiction is a microcosm of every modern addiction – The two-step exercise Jeremy uses with clients: default future vs. dream future – How the porn industry became bigger than all U.S. professional sports combined

Key Moments:
02:08 — Introducing Jeremy Lipkowitz 09:00 — High-speed internet and the moment a habit became an addiction 12:20 — The walk that changed Jeremy's life 14:00 — Lust vs. desire: the distinction that changes everything 26:25 — Between stimulus and response lies your freedom 33:54 — Pleasure vs. happiness: the most important distinction Jeremy has ever learned 43:47 — Bliss is any feeling fully felt 57:00 — The two-step exercise for any addiction 01:00:00 — The billion-dollar industry engineering your addiction

About Jeremy Lipkowitz

Jeremy Lipkowitz is a Duke-trained researcher, former Buddhist monk, and founder of Unhooked Academy. After completing 20 Vipassana retreats and a monastic ordination in Myanmar, he built a platform to help men break free from compulsive behavior and reclaim their inner freedom. His work bridges neuroscience, Buddhist psychology, and practical recovery tools.

This episode is a perfect window into the work we've been building toward at Ziva. The craving, the longing, the thing pulling you toward what doesn't actually fill you — Jeremy calls it lust. We have a different name for it. And we have a practice for transmuting it into something that does. Something new is forming this summer. Get on the list to hear about it first.

Why Isn't Everyone Talking About Mitochondria? with Jennifer Scheinman

Most people learned the word in 10th-grade biology and never thought about it again.
That, argues registered dietitian and longevity expert Jennifer Scheinman, is exactly the problem.

In this episode of Why Isn't Everyone Doing This?, Emily Fletcher sits down with Jennifer, a nutritionist with over 25 years of experience and a longevity expert at Timeline, the company behind the clinically studied Urolithin A supplement MitoPure, for a conversation that reframes everything from fatigue to aging to consciousness through the lens of your cells.

Jennifer explains how the mitochondria work, why their decline accelerates in your 40s and 60s, and what you can actually do to slow that process. They cover the 12 biological hallmarks of aging, the cellular recycling system (mitophagy) that breaks down over time, why so many people can't produce Urolithin A on their own, and how to evaluate supplements in an industry the FDA doesn't fully regulate. They also connect it all to meditation, to stress, to perimenopause, and to the Greek myth of Persephone and the pomegranate.

And at the very end: a fact about mitochondrial DNA that changes the way you think about your mother, your grandmother, and the feminine line you carry.

In this episode, they explore:
– What mitochondria are, what they do, and why they're more like a CEO than a powerhouse – The cellular recycling process (mitophagy) and why it slows with age – Zombie cells, inflammaging, and the 12 hallmarks of biological aging – Why aging isn't linear — and what the research says about the 40s and 60s – How meditation reduces the inflammation driving cellular decline – Urolithin A: what it is, how your gut should be making it, and why most people's isn't – How to read supplement labels and avoid "fairy dusting" and borrowed science – Timeline's clinical research: what the trials showed and how long results take – The topical MitoPure skincare line and UV-related skin aging – Why mitochondrial DNA is inherited exclusively through the maternal line – Persephone, pomegranates, 108 seeds, and the convergence of myth and molecule

Key Moments:
00:00 — The question that opens the episode 03:00 — Mitochondria 101: what they really are 08:15 — Every cell except red blood cells runs on mitochondrial energy 10:00 — Mitophagy: your body's cellular cleanup crew 13:00 — Why aging accelerates in the 40s and again in the 60s 16:00 — Zombie cells and the inflammaging hallmark 19:00 — Meditation's effect on cellular inflammation — the Ziva link 25:00 — Fasting and perimenopause: what the science says for women 29:00 — How to evaluate supplements when labels aren't regulated 35:00 — Urolithin A: gut-made, often missing, and why it matters 40:00 — Why food alone won't get you there (6 cups of pomegranate juice a day) 44:00 — The clinical trials: muscle endurance at 2 months, strength at 4 months 53:00 — Urolithin A + exercise: a likely additive effect 58:00 — How Dr. Gabrielle Lyon first put this on Emily's radar 01:01:00 — The skincare line: bringing MitoPure topically 01:03:00 — Mitochondrial DNA and the matrilineal inheritance 01:05:00 — Persephone, pomegranates, and the place where science meets spirit

Why Isn't Everyone Tapping Into the Ancient Wisdom of Mushrooms? with Alli Schaper

What if the tools for healing grief, protecting your brain, and accessing direct divine experience have been growing in the earth for thousands of years and most people just forgot?

In this episode of Why Isn't Everyone Doing This?, Emily Fletcher sits down with Alli Schaper, entrepreneur, wellness pioneer, and co-founder of Super Mush, for a wide-ranging conversation that moves from the science of Lion's Mane to the cultural history of psilocybin, from grief and brain trauma to microdosing as ceremony, from a black bear encounter in the wilderness to why worry is brakes on our prayers.

Alli got off eight to nine pharmaceutical medications at 23 and became her own doctor. Functional mushrooms were the turning point.

Why Isn't Everyone Becoming a Fulfillionaire? with JP Newman

What if your relationship to money has nothing to do with how much you have, and everything to do with the frequency you're operating from?

In this episode of Why Isn't Everyone Doing This?, Emily Fletcher sits down with investor, entrepreneur, and Fulfillionaire founder JP Newman for a conversation that will permanently shift how you think about financial freedom. JP has spent decades working with high net worth individuals who achieve their financial goals and still feel empty, and he's built a framework that addresses why.

The Fulfillionaire approach goes beyond net worth. JP maps out four dimensions of wealth, People, Purpose, Play, and Presence, and shows how clarity in each of these areas is what actually dissolves the scarcity loop. He introduces the concept of the freedom number (or the "plenty number"), explains how passive income works in practice, and walks through why most people are unconsciously running a strategy he calls "hope and pray."

Emily shares her own story of how a single week of nervous system work with Kate Northrup helped her team identify $1.1 million in cuttable expenses, not through grinding harder, but through changing her energetic relationship to money first.

This episode bridges Vedic wisdom, Judeo-Christian mystical tradition, and practical financial literacy, making it one of the most grounded and spiritually resonant money conversations in the show's history.

In this episode, they explore:
– The four P's of multidimensional wealth and why financial planning without them creates one-dimensional success – How to find your freedom number and stop the "hope and pray" strategy – The Vedic teaching on Lakshmi and why money wants somewhere to go – Why scarcity persists even in billionaires, and what the data on Warren Buffett's Giving Pledge reveals – The eight levels of giving according to mystical tradition, and which one creates the cleanest spiritual transaction – How Emily's energy shift produced $1.1 million in discovered savings in one week – A practical parenting strategy for teaching kids financial empowerment starting at age six – Why JP turned Fulfillionaire into a nonprofit

Key Moments:
00:00 – The moment money stops being something you chase 04:30 – JP's origin story 09:00 – Why no one teaches us what winning actually looks like 14:00 – The four dimensions of Fulfillionaire wealth 21:00 – Hope and pray strategy and speculative risk 26:30 – Active vs. passive income explained 32:00 – What passive cash flow looks like in practice 39:00 – The scarcity paradox and the Giving Pledge 46:00 – Lakshmi and the Vedic view of abundance 51:00 – Emily's $1.1 million discovery 57:00 – The identity shift from scarcity to stewardship 01:04:00 – The eight levels of giving 01:11:00 – Why Fulfillionaire became a nonprofit 01:17:00 – Teaching kids about money at age six 01:24:00 – Why isn't everyone becoming a Fulfillionaire?

About JP Newman
JP Newman is an investor, entrepreneur, and founder of Fulfillionaire, a nonprofit dedicated to financial literacy and multidimensional wealth. He works with individuals at every stage of their financial journey to help them find their freedom number, build passive income, and create a life where money flows from wholeness rather than fear.

Why Isn't Everyone Receiving Limitless Abundance? with David Ghiyam

What if the wealth, love, and fulfillment you've been working toward already exists, held in a kind of spiritual escrow, waiting for the moment your vessel is ready to receive it?

In this episode of Why Isn't Everyone Doing This?, Emily Fletcher sits down with David Ghiyam, spiritual teacher, entrepreneur, and co-founder of Mary Ruth Organics, one of the leading wellness brands in the world. David spent 25 years teaching the universal laws of manifestation through the Kabbalah Center before applying those same spiritual principles to build a multimillion-dollar company. He now teaches people around the world how to identify and clear the hidden belief systems quietly capping their abundance.

This conversation covers the Kabbalistic framework for prayer and manifestation, the two types of beliefs that block receiving, and why spiritual people are often the most unknowing at blocking what they desire. And midway through, David coaches Emily live, in real time, on her own relationship patterns. What unfolds is worth listening to more than once.

In this episode, they explore:

• Why abundance is your soul's destiny, not something you earn or luck into, and what holds it in a spiritual escrow account
• The two types of beliefs quietly capping your wealth and love life: limited beliefs and competing beliefs
• How to identify your competing belief, the hidden internal conflict making you pray in two directions at once
• Why certainty is the first frequency of the creator, and how to choose it before the evidence arrives
• What prayer actually is according to Kabbalah, and why it has nothing to do with asking for things
• The vessel framework: why inner expansion must match outer ambition, or more success just means more pressure
• Live coaching on the "men are disappointing" belief pattern and the "spiritual man bun" concept that may be the most practical advice in the episode
• Why your soulmate and your wealth are being held in safekeeping until you're ready to receive them
• The one transmission David would install in the entire human nervous system

Key Moments:

00:00 — Why isn't everyone receiving limitless abundance?

02:24 — David's origin story: 25 years of Kabbalah, a vow of poverty, and building Mary Ruth Organics

04:54 — Abundance as your soul's original design

09:00 — How to build the vessel that holds what you're calling in

13:50 — The spiritual escrow account: your wealth exists, waiting for you

21:14 — Certainty, happiness, and the third thing: the three frequencies of the creator

25:43 — Limited beliefs vs. competing beliefs, the real reason growth stalls

27:09 — Live coaching: Emily's "men are disappointing" pattern

36:00 — The morning practice David uses to reprogram limiting beliefs in 10 minutes

49:00 — Why being too spiritual can actually repel love

55:00 — The spiritual man bun: what you're holding onto that's pushing people away

01:10:00 — Why the creator's first language is simplicity

01:22:00 — Your wealth follows your soul, lifetime to lifetime

01:26:58 — The one download David would install in the whole species

About David Ghiyam

David Ghiyam is a spiritual teacher, entrepreneur, and co-founder of Mary Ruth Organics. After 25 years teaching the universal laws of manifestation through the Kabbalah Center, he now runs his own platform, offering seminars and courses on abundance, love, and spiritual law. His teachings are available on a pay-what-feels-right model to make ancient wisdom accessible to anyone.

Sweet friends, it’s Emily, and I want to welcome you to a special bonus episode of Why Isn’t Everyone Doing This?

This episode is for anyone who has ever felt trapped by the stories in their head, the inherited beliefs, the old voices that say: I’m too old. I’m not smart enough. I’m too behind. I’m too late. The thoughts that have been running so long in the background, they’ve started to feel like truth.

In this guided visualization, Emily leads you into the safety of your body and the intelligence of your heart. From there, you’ll connect with the most evolved version of yourself and use the frequency of pure, unconditional love to begin dissolving limiting beliefs without force, struggle, or resistance.

This is a gentle but powerful practice for anyone ready to release old stories and remember who they truly are.

In this episode, you’ll experience: • A guided visualization to help dissolve limiting beliefs • A return to safety through the body and the heart • A meditation on merging with your most evolved self • A practice for releasing inherited stories and old mental patterns • A simple way to move from self-judgment into compassion and expansion

You don’t need any prior experience, just a quiet space and a willingness to show up for yourself.

Why Isn't Everyone Getting a Functional Medicine Doctor? with Dr. Robin Berzin

What if your body already knows how to heal — and the missing ingredient is a doctor who actually takes the time to find out why?

In this episode of Why Isn't Everyone Doing This?, Emily sits down with Dr. Robin Berzin, founder of Parsley Health and one of the most trusted voices in functional and longevity medicine, for a conversation that covers everything from hormones and DEXA scans to spiritual practice and the quantum field.

Dr. Robin explains what functional medicine actually is — and why it works when conventional medicine plateaus. She breaks down the updated science on hormone replacement therapy (and why the study that scared women off HRT for 25 years was fundamentally misinterpreted), makes a compelling case for body composition testing over weight, and delivers one of the clearest explanations of what chronic stress does to the body that you'll ever hear.

But the conversation doesn't stay on the physical. Robin and Emily explore how meditation gave Robin the clarity to build Parsley and raise over $100 million as a solo female founder — and why she believes reaching into the unmanifest is what makes visionary creation possible at all.

In this episode, they explore:

• What functional medicine is and why it gets to root causes conventional medicine skips • Why the 2002 HRT study was misinterpreted — and what the science actually shows now • How HRT protects against breast cancer, dementia, and osteoporosis for most women • Why Robin prescribes one non-negotiable hour a day in parasympathetic mode to every patient • The DEXA scan case: why body composition matters more than weight ever will • How chronic stress creates cascading hormonal, digestive, immune, and metabolic dysfunction • Why pleasure is physiologically essential — not indulgent • How Robin's meditation practice shaped both Parsley and her understanding of conscious creation • The overlap between functional medicine and Ziva's teaching on stress and manifestation

Key Moments:

00:00 — What functional medicine actually is 06:04 — Root cause vs. symptom management: the fire in the basement 17:08 — The seismic shift in women's health 18:48 — What the 2002 HRT study actually said — and what it didn't 24:22 — Emily's philosophical question: does nature make mistakes? 35:40 — Why Robin says throw out your scale 38:00 — Her own osteopenia diagnosis at 43 and what she changed 43:32 — The one-hour parasympathetic prescription 46:52 — What chronic stress does inside the body 52:26 — Pleasure as medicine 56:01 — How meditation clarified Robin's vision for Parsley 01:01:10 — Reaching into the quantum to build something that didn't exist yet

About Dr. Robin Berzin

Dr. Robin Berzin is a physician, entrepreneur, and founder of Parsley Health — a functional and longevity medicine practice serving patients nationwide. Trained at Columbia University Medical Center and Mount Sinai Hospital, she has spent her career helping patients get off medications, reverse chronic conditions, and optimize their health from the inside out.

What if the single most important thing you can do for your relationships, your family, and even the state of the world right now is to take 100% responsibility for the field of love around you?

In this episode of Why Isn't Everyone Doing This?, Emily sits down with John Wineland, teacher of embodied leadership and one of the most respected voices in men's development and relational practice, for a conversation that reframes how love actually works.

John introduces the concept of the "field of love" as a real, felt, measurable entity that exists between people, and explains why most of us are unconsciously either amplifying or diminishing it every day without realizing it. He shares the distinction between childhood consciousness (seeking safety) and adult consciousness (creating safety), why sacred rage must travel through the heart to move people, and how to bring your full emotional truth in a way that can actually be received.

This episode is for anyone who wants deeper intimacy, a more honest relationship with their own emotional landscape, and a clearer understanding of what it takes to love well in these times.

In this episode, they explore:

– The "field of love" as a measurable third entity between two people, and how to amplify or diminish it in real time

– Why most people are unconsciously mating wounded children to wounded children, and how inner development work changes what you attract

– The crucial difference between childhood consciousness (seeking safety) and adult consciousness (creating safety)

– Why sacred rage must travel through the heart to actually move people, and a live practice John uses in workshops

– How to bring your emotions in a "container" that your partner's nervous system can actually metabolize

– The masculine practice of feeling both the Dantian and the heart simultaneously, and why it changes how you're felt by others

– Why John believes men are about 100,000 years behind women in embodiment practice, and what that means for modern relationships

Most people want the magic. They want the miracles. They want the manifestation. They just don’t want to surrender.

In this episode of Why Isn’t Everyone Doing This?, Emily sits down with Kute Blackson, bestselling author of The Magic of Surrender, transformational speaker, and one of the most electrifying teachers working today, for a conversation that reframes everything you think you know about manifestation, miracles, and letting go.

Kute grew up in Ghana as the son of a miracle-working pastor. Blind people saw. Paralyzed people walked. That was just life. That extraordinary baseline of possibility is what he now teaches, and this episode is his most personal conversation yet.

For the first time publicly, Kute shares how learning his father’s darkest secrets after his death sent him into a whole new layer of grief, anger, and forgiveness. And how choosing to love a difficult man without condition, across five years of daily phone calls, ultimately freed his newborn son from carrying the weight of generational karma.

This episode is for anyone who’s done the inner work but still feels like something hasn’t landed. Who’s manifesting from conditioning, not soul truth. Who wants the magic but hasn’t fully let go.

In this episode, they explore:

– Why surrender isn’t weakness, it’s the most powerful force in manifestation

– The “peanut” trap: how conditioning makes us cling to small dreams while the universe has something bigger

– How Kute grew up in a world where miracles were ordinary, and what that taught him about possibility

– Why spiritual transcendence without emotional integration creates the shadow side of gurus

– The five-year daily phone call with his father that healed a generational wound

– What his father’s soul said to him in meditation after death, and why it made him weep

– How lovemaking is the perfect metaphor for surrendering into life

– The shift from “goal setting” to “soul setting”
