If you've ever wondered if anyone can really develop their psychic abilities? This episode is for you. I sit down with Chase McCarty, the creator of Social RV, an app that gamifies remote viewing, intuition, and all the weird little psychic skills you didn't think you could train. We talk about psi abilities like remote viewing and intuitive perception. Chase shares how he went from a skeptic to someone who built a digital space to help people train their intuition and perceptual capacities in a structured, measurable, and safe way.

We talk about what psi really means, not as mysticism but as a capacity that we all have, and how early research — including government remote viewing studies and platforms like the Telepathy Tapes — helped shape modern interest in these abilities. Chase recounts the origins of his own journey and what it felt like to test these practices on himself.

Together we explore how the Social RV app works, what it's like to practice remote viewing, and how intuitive perception feels in the body — including physical sensations like bilocation or subconscious symbolism that show up during practice. We also talk about how trauma and hyper‑sensitivity can heighten perceptual attunements, how to distinguish intuition from fear responses, and why gamifying these practices might help normalize and destigmatizepsi‑related experiences in everyday life.

This conversation is both grounded and expansive, offering practical ways to explore intuition, sharpen perceptual awareness, and approach psi practice with safety, curiosity, and care. If you've ever wondered about the space between intuition and unconscious intelligence, or how you might train that capacity, this episode meets you there.

The episode closes with Chase guiding a 12-minute meditation, designed to help you fine-tune your psychic senses, connect with subtle energies, and tap into your intuition in a tangible way. It's not just a talk, it's a hands-on experience for anyone curious about the unseen.

In this episode of LaidOPEN, I'm joined by Gabrielle Felder, author of The Five Blessings of Ifá.

We talk about returning to spiritual lineage, writing about Ifá as a living oral tradition, and what it meant for Gabrielle to publish this work after being raised Baptist. She shares how being on ancestral land in the American South changed her relationship to history and belonging.

We explore Oshun and Obatala, gender expansiveness in Yoruba cosmology, burnout and joyful militancy, and how to remain spiritually grounded in times of cultural instability.

LaidOPEN offers intimate conversations at the intersection of sexuality, spirituality, and relational healing. If you're longing for depth, warmth, and nuance, follow the show and share this episode with someone who might need it.
