3 February 2026, 1:54 pm - 1 hour 5 minutesDoes Manifesting Change God's Plan? (w/ Edwina Findley)
Let's unpack the most sacred questions of the human experience: how do you know when guidance is divine, and when it’s just desire, fear, or ego? Edwina Findley unravels manifesting vs. God’s plan, the difference between “my dream” and a true calling, and why service, struggle, and waiting seasons may matter more than vision boards. From miraculous signs and prophetic moments to doubt, discipline, and surrender, this episode is a deep dive into faith, purpose, and what it really means to trust the path unfolding in front of you.

27 January 2026, 8:00 am - 1 hour 9 minutesWhy Do I Overthink EVERYTHING? Re-Wiring Our Brains w/ Maya Shankar
Change rarely asks permission. Cognitive scientist Maya Shankar joins to unpack why we cling to certainty, how rumination traps us in mental spirals, and what it actually takes to build a self that can survive life’s curveballs. From identity loss and grief to moral beauty, compassion, and the psychology of “default options,” this conversation blends neuroscience, philosophy, and spiritual wisdom into practical tools for modern anxiety.

20 January 2026, 8:00 am - 1 hour 10 minutesWho Should Run the Government? (Reggie Watts Pt. 2)
AI, power trips, and what comes after late stage capitalism. Comedian Reggie Watts joins us to unpack how billionaires are trying to control the systems they built, why government is not a business, and how community and joy can outlast fear and shock tactics. We also debate psychedelics and ketamine, including the difference between sacred practice and shortcut culture, and how altered states can shape creativity, improv, and consciousness. Along the way they hit simulation theory, Star Trek’s utopian future, Brandon Sanderson fantasy, Burning Man stories, and why Reggie believes kindness is a form of intelligence.

6 January 2026, 8:00 am - 1 hour 3 minutesCan Dr. Amen's Brain Scans Predict Depression, Anxiety and Addiction?
Dr. Daniel Amen (brain health expert, psychiatrist and physician) wants to reframe “mental health” as brain health, and explain how brain imaging can reveal patterns behind depression, anxiety, addiction, and even chronic pain. They unpack automatic negative thoughts, negativity bias, and simple daily “tiny habits” that can reshape your brain and your life. Plus, Dr. Amen connects science with meaning, purpose, and spirituality, asking one powerful question: is what you’re doing right now good for your brain and does it honor your creator?

11 December 2025, 10:40 am - 57 minutes 25 secondsWhat Happens When We Die? (w/ Hospice Nurse Julie)
Hospice Nurse Julie sits down with Rainn to completely re-frame how we think about death, dying and what might come next. From the biology of how the body peacefully shuts down to mystical deathbed visions, guardian angel stories and “miracle pancakes,” she shares raw, hopeful and surprisingly funny lessons from years at the bedside. They dive into addiction, spirituality, fear, atheism, pets showing up at the end and how remembering our mortality can actually make life feel more precious and free.

Petey also performs God Is In The Gray and Don't Tell The Boys live and shares the story behind his new album The Yips and the characters who drink through their pain at a dive bar.
