is light something we see… or something we are? 🌞

in this episode, Aelēmental Physicist Peter Maine Forhan joins us for a conversation that lands somewhere between science, mysticism, and pure wonder. he shares his extraordinary journey to creating his book, Light Bōdies, a luminous exploration of light physics through 42 hand-drawn diagrams. we discuss whirlpools, torus fields, and the architecture of light made visible… all in a way that even the non-physicists among us can feel in our bones :)

WATCH the episode on youtube here.

Light Bōdies is free to download in full & also available for physical copy purchasing here: lightbodiesbook.com

what if your dreams aren’t random at all, but oracles guiding your life?

this episode is a mystical sit-down with Stella Porta where we explore: dreams as personal oracles, the wisdom and alchemy of bees and other animal symbolism, and the ways our subconscious reveals truths about relationships, trauma, and the soul’s path.

whether you’ve been tracking your dreams for years or are just beginning to pay attention to their whispers, Stella’s perspective might open a portal into deeper listening, healing, and remembrance.

✨ if you enjoy this episode, please follow, rate, and review the podcast! it helps (more than i can say) to bring more of these conversations to life ✨

i'm letting this episode speak for itself! no introduction, just a sit down with Stella Porta: a dream educator, visual alchemist, and the creator of Honeywomb.

Her work serves as a living archive of feminine gnosis. Through dreamwork, myth, and storytelling, she helps women reclaim the symbols that once shaped culture —from the bee to the serpent to the wolf. Her teachings are rooted in the body’s wisdom and the ancestral memory that awakens the lineages of the Great Mother. Stella has supported hundreds of women through immersive courses and teaches dreamwork as an embodied tool for weaving realities. She also mentors spiritual entrepreneurs through soulful brand strategy, helping them bring their visions to life in ways that are both magnetic and meaningful.

At the core of her work is this truth: our nighttime dreams are oracles. They are living maps that can guide us toward the life our soul longs to create.

what if you were never actually a U.S. citizen... legally? and what if your “identity” was tied to a contract you didn’t knowingly sign?

BUCKLE UP for a mind-bending, paradigm-warping conversation that invites you to question... everything. not from fear, but from sovereignty. especially when it comes to the unconscious contracts we enter into with systems we barely understand.

in this episode, i sit down with Brandon Joe Williams to explore:

• the difference between state and federal citizenship

• why the 14th Amendment changed everything (but maybe not how you think)

• the legal definitions of “person,” “individual,” and “citizen”

• how language has been weaponized to shape compliance and identity

• and the ways we can break free from chains we didn't even know we had!

⚠️ PRO TIP: watch on YouTube to see brandon’s screen shares as he reads directly from legal documents and court cases (link to watch here).

About 20 minutes after meeting Tian near Da Nang, Vietnam, I hit record on my phone and we dove straight into two hours of unscripted magic. We talked about everything from superpowers, human limitations, masculine and feminine polarity, past lives in Atlantis, the nature of God, technology, AI, and much more.

Tian is the author of GOD GAME, a mind-bendy (and witty-funny) book/audiobook that explores the cosmic joke of existence and why we’re all key players in it. I definitely recommend giving it a read/listen if you’re curious (and ready to expand consciousness).

This convo is a wild ride through spirituality, science, and the mysteries of being human—peppered with moments that might just shift the way you see reality.

More info about Tian’s book below and you can connect with him on social media.

you know i'm always exploring new ways we can decode patterns and "uplevel" so if you want to go deeper, check out my Patreon or book a Soul Session for 1:1 guidance.

and super special thanks to @fox&tiger for the intro tunes <3

GOD GAME:

If you were actually ‘God’ in the sense of everything, everywhere, all at once, all the time, it'd actually be pretty boring. There’s nothing to experience. It’s all experienced. Like painting a painting with white paint on white canvas.

So you (God) decided to make a game where you split yourself up into infinite pieces, placed into infinite vessels that each limit your power in a different way. To create color.

To be something, somewhere, at once, one moment at a time. To be able to actually experience and feel SOMETHING. All experiences and feelings are valid. Nothing inherently good or bad, right or wrong. All events, blessings and obstacles are placed there (by you) for the sake of the game/story/journey. As long as you're experiencing and feeling things, you're doing existence right.

Eventually every piece of you will evolve back to you. Back to one. But until then, enjoy the journey! That’s what you’re here for

Following your heart/intuition/soul is how you have the best experiences, realize your dreams and go on the ultimate journey with the universe.

That's the God Game

a raw and unfiltered solo episode! i've been on a [soul] recon mission for the last 5 years but i haven't told anyone... until now :) tune in to hear about a wish i made in 2020 that led me on a journey of following every mystical breadcrumb and being hollowed out by real life, real grief, and real growth. vietnam was never part of my plan, but it became the perfect mirror -- and now i'm going home!

i'm just a girl... answering the call.... trusting the glitch.... and sharing what i'm learning along the way ;) and i'm making another wish: to inspire you to embrace your true self and navigate life's chaos with love and trust.

what if the places we live in aren’t random? what if they are shaping us in ways we don’t even realize?

i’ve spent the last few years surrendering to the pull of different places, following an intuitive (and sometimes terrifying) call to let the universe guide my path—even when it didn’t make logical sense. what I’ve learned is this: certain locations activate us, challenge us, expand us, and even hold the key to parts of ourselves we haven’t yet met.

after serendipitously connecting with Fernanda Paiva via instagram, i knew i had to invite her on the podcast to chat about being former corporate professionals turned intuitive nomads.

in this episode, we chat about our spiritual journeys, the importance of surrender, the powerful effects of different geographic energies on personal growth and how the energetic blueprint of different locations influences us on a soul level.

this conversation isn’t just about astrology—it’s about learning to trust the unseen forces that are shaping our path.
