In this episode of Call Cut with Angélique, we explore the symbolic relationship between the devil and the angel and why they were never meant to battle for your soul.

Using mythology, psychology, and energetic principles, this conversation reframes darkness and light as necessary partners rather than opposing forces. When contrast is mistaken for conflict, the mind fractures, the nervous system stays in fight or flight, and life becomes a battlefield that never ends.

We discuss how distraction is the primary tool of fragmentation, why fighting your shadow gives it power, and how integration restores coherence, wisdom, and choice. This episode dives into shadow work, discernment, morality, and the idea that your deepest wound may actually be your greatest strength.

When the inner war ends, peace becomes possible.
Not through victory, but through understanding.

In this episode of Call Cut with Angélique, I sit down with my dear friend Jackie Ploshnik for a grounded, heart-led conversation about moving through fear and arriving at your passion.

Jackie has a rare superpower, she always follows her heart. That inner compass has guided her to exactly where she is meant to be, again and again, shaping a life and career rooted in purpose, service, and alignment.

Jackie Dougert is a Speech-Language Pathologist and the founder of Amplified Voices Speech Therapy, Inc., based in Los Angeles. She specializes in supporting nonspeaking individuals, helping them find their voice through alternative and assistive communication systems. Alongside her work in speech therapy, Jackie is also a yoga instructor and facilitator of yoga teacher trainings through her home studio.

In our conversation, we explore what happens when you trust your inner knowing, even when the path ahead feels uncertain. Jackie shares how following her heart has consistently led her to the right place at the right time, and how fear often dissolves when you choose alignment over control.

This episode is an invitation to listen inward, trust the pull of what lights you up, and remember that your passion is not random; it is guiding you somewhere meaningful.

If you've been standing at the edge of a leap, questioning your next move, or feeling called toward something you cannot yet fully explain, this conversation is for you.

In this episode of Call Cut with Angelique, Angelique sits down with her longtime friend, Dr. Shahab al Bahar, for a wide ranging and deeply human conversation about identity, illusion, and the stories we are taught to believe about ourselves and each other.

What begins as a discussion about body dysmorphia and AI-generated perfection opens into a powerful exploration of social engineering, capitalism, colonization, media narratives, and the subtle ways fear and division are manufactured and maintained.

Together, they explore:

• How AI and social media distort self-image and self-worth.

• Why perfection is a lie designed to keep us consuming.

• The connection between self hatred and global division.

• How narratives shape identity, culture, and history.

• Why questioning everything is an act of self-love.

• What it means to see each other human to human again.

This is not a conversation about sides.
It is a conversation about mirrors.
And what happens when we finally look honestly.

We are not going to find our way out of fear through violence, rebellion, or waiting for a savior.
We are going to write our way out.

In this episode of Call Cut with Angélique, we explore fear as a story, not a truth. A narrative that has been repeated for generations until it feels inevitable, permanent, and inescapable. But when you understand that fear is something we feed with belief, emotion, and imagination, you also realize you can stop feeding it.

This episode breaks down how fear mythology works, why it keeps humanity feeling powerless, and how imagination becomes the key to rewriting the narrative. Through storytelling, mythology, and reflection, you will learn how to step out of the role of character and into the role of creator.

We talk about:

• Fear as a programmed story rather than a fact

• The illusion of powerlessness and the savior myth

• Why imagination is a creative force, not fantasy

• How to stop emotionally feeding fear

• Using the Call Cut Method to reclaim sovereignty

Humanity does not need to be rescued.
We need to remember who holds the pen.

One heart. One story. One pen. Yours.

What does it really mean to give your life to art, not the spotlight, but the craft itself?

In this episode of Call Cut with Angelique, I sit down with my dear friend Mauricio Bustamante, a Mexican born actor, Vietnam veteran, and longtime teacher at the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute. Mauricio shares how a single acting class with Lee in 1973 felt like meeting Einstein, and how that moment changed the entire trajectory of his life.

We talk about:

• Growing up in a family that actually cheered when he said, "I want to be an actor"

• Finding home at the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute and what Method training really asks of an actor

• The real difference between actors and movie stars, and why chasing fame will never satisfy the soul

• Behind the scenes stories from our film Sarina's Song, including working with Margot Kidder and Michael O'Keefe

• Marilyn Monroe's steadfast devotion to the craft, how her work with Strasberg was misunderstood, and why portrayals like Blonde can be so damaging

• Why mocking a character kills a performance, and how compassion for the role changes everything

• The state of art today, attention span culture, and why quick content can never replace deep creative work

• AI, technology, and what happens if we lose the human soul inside our stories

• The genius of today's kids and teens, from Gen Z to Gen Alpha, and why Mauricio believes they will help correct the course

• How early labels and "soul wounds" shape us, and why shadow work, self worth, and unity consciousness are essential for healing

This episode is for actors, writers, directors, and anyone who has ever wondered if their dreams are worth the sacrifice. Mauricio reminds us that you can be rich in all the ways that matter without ever chasing the illusion of fame, and that real success lives in devotion to the work, love for humanity, and the courage to keep going.

Is gratitude really an energetic practice, or just another self-help concept that's been oversimplified?

In this episode of Call Cut with Angelique, we explore gratitude as an energetic state, not a mindset trick. We unpack the emotional and physical reality of what real gratitude feels like in the body and why it has the power to shift your nervous system, restore emotional regulation, and reconnect you with joy.

We also talk about toxic positivity, not just as "forced happiness," but as something far more subtle, gratitude used as pressure, spiritual language used as control, and appreciation turned into obligation.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• The energetic difference between real gratitude and manipulated gratitude

• How gratitude affects the nervous system and emotional state

• Why "be grateful" can become a form of suppression

• How comparison and competition sabotage presence and peace

• The connection between gratitude and joy

• Why gratitude cannot be faked and still work

• What ancient wisdom understood about gratitude as alignment

• A gratitude practice rooted in embodiment, not performance

Gratitude does not mean shrinking your desires.
It does not mean denying your pain.
It does not mean settling for less.

Real gratitude expands you.
It regulates you.
It aligns you.

If you've ever felt uneasy when someone told you to "just be grateful," this episode will change how you understand it forever.

What happens when you lose both parents to cancer before the age of 23, watch your savings vanish in a financial crash, and still somehow build a life and career you love anyway?

In this episode of Call Cut with Angélique, I sit down with my dear friend Nadim Safieddine, the creator behind NadsReviews, to talk about grief, anxiety, money, and turning rock bottom into a new beginning.

Nadim shares how losing both of his parents to cancer, moving countries, getting fired twice, and then losing all his savings in the Lebanon banking collapse pushed him into intense anxiety and panic attacks. He opens up about starting therapy, choosing medication, and why speaking honestly about mental health as an Arab man has become part of his mission.

We also talk about the long game of following your passion. Nadim spent ten years blogging about film and television for almost no audience before his TikTok video reviews suddenly exploded during the pandemic. Today he reaches hundreds of thousands of people, collaborates with Netflix and Disney+, and is building a career that finally matches the love he has always had for storytelling.

Along the way, we get into

• Losing both parents to the same illness and the "life is not fair" spiral

• How financial safety and family dynamics can fuel anxiety

• Panic attacks, generalized anxiety, and what it feels like inside the body

• Therapy and medication, and why there should be zero shame in using both

• The stigma around mental health in the Arab world, especially for men

• Why one negative comment can hurt more than a thousand positive ones

• Using comedy and dark humor to survive grief

• Starting NadsReviews in a hospital room and building a platform from zero

• Hitting rock bottom as a turning point instead of a life sentence

• Finding your power by becoming financially and creatively independent

If you live with anxiety, have lost someone you love, or feel stuck between "safety" and your passion, this conversation is for you. You are not broken, you are not alone, and your story is not over.
