Does 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.

Why 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.

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. <br...
