What changes when we become willing to see the same experience differently?

In this episode of Truth Talks with Kelly Mason, Kelly sits down with Michael Mason, author of OPT for Oneness, to explore how perception shapes our beliefs, relationships and responses to adversity.

Michael shares his lifelong search for truth, from questioning religious teachings as a child to studying astronomy, Eastern philosophies and Kabbalah. He introduces three principles at the heart of his work: all is one, all is energy and all is perception.

Together, Kelly and Michael explore why we become attached to being right, how ego can deepen conflict, and what it means to recognize our connection while respecting our differences. Michael also recalls a military punishment he initially experienced as an injustice and how learning what happened to his former platoon transformed his understanding of that experience.

The conversation brings these ideas into everyday life through parenting, compassion, conscious choice and the possibility of interrupting inherited patterns. They also reflect on their spiritual perspectives on the soul, the fear of death and the roles we play in one another’s growth.

In this episode, we explore:

• Oneness and why connection does not require sameness
• How beliefs become tangled with identity
• Michael’s concept of “adversary intelligence” and its relationship to ego
• Reframing adversity and finding new meaning in past experiences
• Bringing awareness and compassion into parenting and relationships
• Michael’s symbol for oneness as a reminder of connection

A question to carry with you: Where might a different perspective create more understanding in your life?

How do we decide who to trust when every headline is competing for our attention?

In this episode of Truth Talks, Kelly Mason sits down with Rob Driscoll, co-founder and president of BIG Media, to explore independent journalism, critical thinking and the responsibility that comes with sharing information.

Rob shares why he helped launch BIG Media, how he assembled a team of scientists, engineers, data specialists and other contributors, and why he believes transparent sourcing, sound logic and constructive dialogue are essential to rebuilding trust. He also discusses his perspectives on mainstream media, social platforms, artificial intelligence, pandemic coverage and climate reporting.

Kelly connects the conversation to her documentary work in Costa Rica and the KULA Academy’s teachings on personal growth, sovereignty and legacy. Together, they consider how information shapes our choices, why intellectual humility matters, and what it means to remain open to evidence while speaking with integrity.

The conversation takes a deeply personal turn as Rob recalls the Christmas message from his daughter that helped him reconnect with service. His story becomes an invitation to notice the people around us, practice everyday kindness and consider the impact we leave behind.

Rob’s reminder: “The more good I do, the more good stuff comes back to me.”

What if the person reacting in your relationship is not the adult you are today, but the adaptive child who once learned how to survive?

In this episode of Truth Talks, Kelly Mason sits down with Jenn Pinkerton, licensed psychotherapist, certified sex therapist, connection expert and host of REDHEADREVEAL®, for a grounded conversation about the hidden stories shaping how we love, parent, communicate and respond under pressure.

Jenn explains how childhood wounds can become inner scripts, “I’m not enough,” “I don’t belong,” “People always leave”, and why those stories are not proof that we are broken. They are patterns we can meet with awareness, compassion and new tools.

Together, Kelly and Jenn explore the adaptive child, the nervous system and emotional regulation; why curiosity is essential to connection; how defensiveness and reactivity quietly erode relationships; and the power in the pause that allows us to respond instead of react.

They also bring these tools into real life, from repairing intimacy and navigating conflict to raising children who feel seen, heard and empowered. The message is hopeful: we cannot change what happened to us, but we can choose what we become.

This is a conversation about returning to who you were before fear wrote the story and learning to create relationships where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
