When was the last time you completely dismantled your identity and rebuilt it from scratch? In this soul-stirring conversation, spiritual coach and shamanic practitioner Kelly Sparta takes us on her extraordinary journey from conventional success to spiritual awakening.

From her earliest days, Kelly was immersed in metaphysical teachings thanks to a mother who recognized her daughter's psychic gifts and was determined not to let them be suppressed. By her twenties, Kelly had checked all the boxes of the American Dream – successful career, marriage, home ownership – yet found herself deeply unfulfilled. What followed was a radical act of liberation: she walked away from everything familiar, embarking on what she calls a "drive-about" across 14,000 miles of America, living on $350 a month and the kindness of strangers.

The heart of our conversation explores Kelly's profound shamanic initiation with Grandmother Spider, who delivered a powerful lesson about worthiness that will challenge everything you've been taught about self-value. Kelly describes her experience of "foundational deconstruction" – a three-week period where she lost her sense of identity so completely that she couldn't perform basic tasks – and the surprising gifts that emerged when she allowed herself to be rebuilt naturally.

We delve into the misconceptions surrounding modern shamanism, the nature of spiritual acknowledgment, and why certification programs miss the essence of this ancient healing tradition. Kelly shares beauti

What if our current mental health crisis stems from something as fundamental as our disconnection from our own nervous systems? In this transformative conversation with yoga master Rod Stryker, we uncover why slowing down might be the most revolutionary act in today's hyperactive world.

Rod shares his remarkable 50-year journey from psychology student to Hollywood actor to internationally respected yoga teacher. The turning point? A profound realization that yoga was offering him the self-understanding he'd been seeking through academic studies – an embodied philosophy touching something deep within him that formal education couldn't reach.

As our discussion unfolds, Rod clarifies a critical misunderstanding: what most Americans practice as "yoga" is actually just "asana" (the physical postures). True yoga, he explains, is a quality of attention and presence that can happen with or without physical movement. T

Perhaps most valuable are the practical insights Rod offers about nervous system regulation through practices like Yoga Nidra – a state between meditation and sleep that provides profound rest without requiring the discipline of seated meditation. His upcoming book on this practice promises to make these powerful techniques more accessible to those who need them most.

A star-filled sky in Northern Minnesota forever changed fourteen-year-old Howard Falco's perception of reality. That breathtaking moment—where time stood still and thousands of questions about existence flooded his mind—planted the seeds for a spiritual journey that would eventually transform him from a finance professional into one of today's most insightful spiritual teachers.

Howard shares the fascinating story of his awakening at age 35 when he found himself profoundly unsettled despite achieving all the markers of the American dream—education, marriage, children, and homeownership. His desperate plea to understand life's deeper workings led to a remarkable expansion of consciousness that changed everything.

What makes our conversation particularly valuable is Howard's unflinching honesty about spiritual awakening being "not for the weak of heart." He addresses the challenging reality that true transformation requires facing everything within yourself, including the ego's desperate attempts to maintain the status quo through fear.

Howard discusses his latest book, "Invincible: The Mindset of Infinite Potential and the Secret to Inevitable Success," which distills his two decades of working with thousands of clients into an eight-step process for expanding consciousness and unlocking potential.
