In the following conversation I chat with Aya Wild — Explorer of the unconscious, guiding others home through radical gentleness.Raised in an isolated religious cult, Aya learned early what it meant to be silenced and cut off from her own body. After escaping, she spent the next decade diving into trauma, bodywork, and plant medicine to learn how to hold what others turn away from. She now walks with those whose experiences fall beyond the limits of mainstream healing, people who’ve been shut down, labelled, or offered only superficial explanations for their pain. Aya helps them clarify their trauma, resource their bodies, and find safety in what was once unbearable.With a B.A. in Integrative Therapies for Trauma from Mount Holyoke College, along with training in Complex Trauma, Rosen Method Bodywork, Cranial Sacral Therapy, and Chi Gong/Tai Chi, Aya brings both lived experience and embodied skill to every person she walks beside.

Waking up is not a walk in the park, it’s the most soul stretching, brain breaking, heart tearing adventure of a lifetime. I highly recommend it if you like missions that shatter your illusions about everything and force you to rebuild yourself and your life from the ground up. My guest today has been through that process. Benny Wills, is an actor, poet, and sketch comedian turned entrepreneur, helping truth-seekers escape the system and build online businesses that align with their values. After years of waking people up with red-pill poetry and conspiracy comedy, he realized that awareness alone won’t pay the bills. You need a game plan. Now, through his Sovereign Secrets community and Escape the System program, he helps people shift from what’s wrong to what’s possible, monetize their awakening, and create businesses that actually solve problems. He’s spoken on stages worldwide, survived Hollywood without selling his soul, and manages to make a living without ever tucking in his shirt. I thoroughly enjoyed this conversation as I hope you do.

In this episode I chat with Hayley Lowe a visionary artist, intuitive healer, and soul guide from New Zealand whose bird-filled canvases and energy work offer more than beauty—they offer transformation.Hayley’s journey into the spiritual and creative realms didn’t start in a meditation circle. It began after the birth of her second child, when postnatal depression cracked open the carefully constructed life she once led as the head of a successful branding agency. What followed was an unplanned awakening—messy, raw, and deeply profound. Through intuition, synchronicity, and a string of spiritual nudges she couldn’t ignore, Hayley uncovered her natural gifts as a clairvoyant, clairsentient, and claircognisant.Since then, she’s spent over a decade guiding others through emotional healing, soul remembering, and energetic transformation, often working with ancestral lines and subtle realms beyond the veil.More recently, Hayley has begun weaving her intuitive gifts back into her art. Her paintings—often featuring birds as messengers of freedom, guidance, and soul connection—are quickly becoming portals of their own: energetic sanctuaries that invite resonance, reflection, and renewal. They are absolutely beautiful. Hayley is a mental projector in Human Design and her soul has the gift of a deep understandings of pattern, something she weaves through her work as a healer and artist. We also have a fascinating little dive into birth patterns and how that can play out in your life. I hope you enjoy the chat.

Christopher Kay, film director, writer, producer and photographer says that from a very young age, he wanted to tell stories. After studying film and learning the craft of writing, directing, producing and editing, he set off to make TV shows, short films, and eventually a feature film that was screened in Australia and various countries. around the world. After taking on an important project about an abandoned child entitled 'Grace' with a group of very special people in 2019, it won awards, and was slated to become a feature film itself. But soon-after the world changed forever.​What followed was what Christopher refers to as a 'collective awakening', where slowly many have realised that for years, they have been a product of marketing, brainwashed programming and lowering the vibration of the collective unconscious. Fiction was all well and good, but as a storyteller, Christopher made a decision to start telling the purest truth.​The feature documentary 'Anavasi' is currently in production and is an in-depth look at everything currently happening around humanity, and where the collective unconscious is headed. This is an exciting and groundbreaking project at a pivotal moment in our history.

In Lynnette's words:"I dedicated 18 years of my life to the fire service. The last 14 yrs were as the first and only female firefighter in my department. I took an early retirement in fall 2023 so I could tell my story. I couldn’t heal in the place that broke me. I had to put myself first and make the hard decision to leave a career that I loved so I could heal.The trauma I experienced wasn’t from the things I saw and experienced on the job. My trauma was from men in authority positions with bullying, harassment, discrimination, misogyny. Started in my childhood and continued throughout my life.I got honest with myself, worked hard and experienced post traumatic growth, overcame my psychological injuries, and am speaking my truth to empower others to have the courage to do the same.I just finished writing my memoir and it launches November 9th. It’s a raw and honest look inside my life and the impacts of my experiences.I don’t have a secret, I have a story.Lynnette's Links:Website with all of Lynnette's trauma and crisis servicesLynette's InstagramFacebook PageLynnette's upcoming book 'You're on your own', will be available on Amazon from November 9th.

Dr. Mark Edmond is a traditionally trained medical professional who has chosen to shift the way he works with people since 2020 when the demands placed on him by the Ministry of Health in New Zealand were simply unaligned to his personal ethics and morals around health care. After 18 years in family practice as a GP this was not an easy decision to make however as challenging as it was, Mark also holds the view that going against his beliefs and his gut instinct would have been much more difficult in the long run and therefore facing the fire early was a decision he does not regret. Mark believes in understanding the complete narrative of each person, including their past experiences, habits, and beliefs, to unearth the root causes of health concerns. He has managed to redesign his practice to step out of the system that won't allow him to offer true informed consent and into a new paradigm of health care that he can get behind. There are two ways to connect and work with Dr Mark Edmond, His personal practice The Good Doc, where you can book an online consult The New Biology Clinic (Dr Tom Cowan's baby), Mark is one of the Primary Wellness Specialists available to help you on your health journey.

My guests this week are Joel Rafidi and Yerasimos Stilianessis two blokes who I absolutely treasure and are partially responsible for this podcast being born into existence. They have their own podcast called Here for the Truth and have published 200 episodes now of high quality Truth seeking and reflection. People like us who have questioned the powers that would like to be, asked good questions about what was going on around us, done our own research and come to our own conclusions have been labeled Anti-this and that and conspiracy theorists. Many people don't realise these labels have been conjured up by skilled PR teams and used to shut down conversation and dissenting views. Joel and Yerasimos provide multiple spaces for people to discuss anything and everything, to search for Truth and do the inner healing work necessary to be able to speak it unapologetically into the world. I highly recommend their podcast and work and it was a pleasure to have them chew the fat of life on a more personal level with me in this conversation.

So, what I loved about this chat with Annie was hearing about her journey from growing up under the mentorship of a staunch feminist stepmother at a very formative time in her development, to the place she’s arrived at now which is having a very different perspective on feminism and the true meaning of the sacred feminine.

With a unique approach that blends art as a path to knowing self, journaling, and conscious cooking, Annie guides women to empower themselves by connecting with their authentic selves and seeing the spiritual, the profound within the the fabric of their daily routines.Her courses, like The Alchemy of Bread: Nourish Your Soul with Sourdough and Rooted in Truth: Aligning your Beliefs with Nature and Authenticity, offer transformative experiences that lead to greater self-awareness, self-compassion, and a profound alignment with the True Self. As someone who walked the path of the New Age and stepped away to find deeper authenticity, Annie emphasizes grounding, integrity, and the beauty and expansion that’s possible when living in harmony with nature.She also shares her wisdom and insights through her Substack newsletter and her podcast, A Sacred Wild Life, where she explores themes of spiritual growth, creativity, and living in alignment with one's true nature.Annie's Links: Instagram: @asacredwildlifeSubstack: substack.com/anniealcornPodcast is available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts and through her SubstackWebsite: asacredwildlife.comThe Alchemy of Bread:Nourish Your Soul with Sourdough: thealchemyofbread.carrd.coRooted In Truth: Aligning Your Beliefs with Nature and Authenticity: rootedintruth.carrd.coMy Links: Come join me on Instagram Check out my Website and offerings for Human Design Readings and Soul Alignment readings and coaching.

As a manifesting generator with the cross of the Sleeping Phoenix 4, Georgina’s purpose is to love her multi passionate life and pursue all the things that light up her heart. And this is why currently she offers numerology readings and courses as well as coaching for natural pregnancy, birthing and new Mums.

Tracy is a Death Midwife who serves as a guide to those going through the dying process.

She’s worked as a registered nurse for 18 years and has specialized in hospice care for 10 of those. After years of first-hand experience within the healthcare industry, Tracy decided to create a business of her own that would give people the autonomy and support not readily available to them through conventional means. Using a straight-forward approach, Tracy assists individuals and their families in creating an end-of life experience that feels right for them.
