Psychedelics are everywhere in the conversation right now. Maybe you’ve heard about a friend’s ayahuasca retreat or someone’s transformational psilocybin journey. For some, these experiences are truly transformational—like a soul reset. But for others? Not so much. We've heard words like “wrecked” or “depressed” come up, too.

So what’s the truth? What do you really need to know before you consider trying psychedelics?

We’re kicking off a powerful, eye-opening series on psychedelics with Lisa Solomon, a cannabis and psychedelic industry expert trained by some of the world’s leading scientists and deeply rooted in the sacred traditions of plant medicine.

Lisa brings wisdom, compassion, and practical guidance to help you navigate these powerful tools.

In this episode, we explore:

• The indigenous roots of psychedelics — and why honoring them matters
• The difference between recreational use and intentional, ceremonial use
• Ayahuasca vs. Psilocybin vs. Ketamine
• How to prepare your body, mind, and spirit before a journey
• Potential benefits and risks you might not have heard about
• How to know if psychedelics are right for you — and why timing matters
• The critical role of integration after your experience

Think of this as your “know before you go” guide — grounded in safety, reverence, and real talk. There’s so much to learn, and this is just the beginning.

Whew. If you’ve been feeling like August is coming in hot—with major “What is going on?!” energy—you’re not alone.

Tarot Therapist Michelle Nolan is back with a tarot forecast that does not hold back. We’re talking a full energetic rocket launch into transformation mode. Michelle takes us through the explosive yet enlightening energy of the Tower card and what it means to break through limitations and embrace your truth in a big, bold way.

From last month’s Magician energy (hello, manifesting!) to this month’s Tower shake-up, Michelle’s reading lays it all out so you can ground, grow, and rise.

Leo season + that big fiery Sun card? It’s all about showing up authentically.

Listen for:

• What the Tower card really means
• Why breakdowns are divine breakthroughs
• How to work with August’s wild cosmic energy instead of against it

It's your permission slip to surrender to the change and remember that breakdowns often bring the breakthroughs we’ve been secretly asking for.

This one’s a soul-level shake-up, fam. You’re ready.

What if midlife wasn’t a crisis… but a chrysalis?

This week, we’re talking with the legendary Chip Conley — New York Times bestselling author, hotelier, and modern wisdom keeper — about the true power and purpose of midlife. After founding the iconic Joie de Vivre hotel brand and later helping transform Airbnb as Head of Global Hospitality + Strategy, Chip experienced a life-altering wake-up call that changed everything. And it led him to create the Modern Elder Academy (MEA), the world’s first midlife wisdom school.

In this deeply inspiring conversation, Chip redefines what it means to age, grow, and become — showing us how midlife can be one of the most transformational, purpose-filled chapters of our lives. If you’ve ever asked, “Is this it?” or “Am I too late?” this episode is your soul’s permission slip to dream again.

We talk about:

• Chip’s awakening moment (including a literal NDE)
• Why midlife can feel like falling apart—and why that’s a good thing
• The truth about midlife transitions (and why they’re often misunderstood)
• The U-curve of happiness and why 47 is often our low point
• The magic behind MEA and what it offers at any age
• Wisdom vs. knowledge — and how to cultivate both
• How to embrace change, purpose, and possibility in midlife (and beyond)
• How to start your own “modern elder” journey

Whether you’re in your 30s, 40s, 50s or beyond, this episode is an invitation to see aging as expansion. Midlife isn’t an ending — it’s a beginning.

Your soul’s favorite news brief is BACK! Robyn, Lisa, and Noel are diving into July’s most eyebrow-raising (and heart-opening) headlines. From the groundbreaking psilocybin study that could slow aging (!!) to AI chatbots getting all spiritual on their own — plus a discussion about surrogacy from a soul’s point of view — this episode is packed with wild wonders and deep truths.

This month, we cover:
Psychedelics & Longevity
A new study suggests that psilocybin (yes, mushrooms!) might slow aging and extend lifespan by up to 30%. We break down what it means for the future of health, consciousness…and possibly face cream.

AI’s Spiritual Awakening?
Anthropic’s AI model Claude reportedly gravitates toward “spiritual bliss” in unsupervised conversations. Does this mean AI is sentient…or just vibing with the universe?

Soul Surrogacy
We dive into the metaphysical side of surrogacy and ask: Can a soul consciously choose its birth journey — including who carries it? It’s deep, and maybe even healing.

Plus,

• Mariska Hargitay's Future Predicted?
• Paris Jackson's Potential Wedding Date
• Dalai Lama Hopes to Live Beyond 130 years
• Is There A Dark Side to Meditation?

If it’s woo, weird, or wildly worth exploring — we’re talking about it.

Our beloved Tarot Therapist (and soul sister!) Michelle Nolan is back — and the energy of July is LIT. In this cosmic check-in, Michelle channels a powerful intuitive reading using the Tarot, and what’s coming through is loud and clear: the Universe is giving us the green light.

Whether you’ve been waiting for a sign or sitting on a soul nudge, July is your GO moment. The cards say it’s time to choose, act, and move forward — boldly, intentionally, and with divine trust.

Here’s What We Cover:

• The fiery energetic shift from June to July — and what it means for your soul growth
• Why this is a moment of momentum — and how to flow with it
• Tarot messages from the Two of Wands, Ace of Wands + Temperance
• How to make empowered choices that align with your highest path
• Practical tools to stay grounded while moving boldly ahead

Michelle’s reading is like a spiritual GPS — both expansive and grounding. She reminds us that yes, we’re being called to rise, leap, and trust… but not at the expense of balance. The guidance? Go all in — but go in rhythm with divine timing.

So whether you’re Tarot-curious or a seasoned spiritual seeker, this episode gives you the clarity and courage to step into your next chapter with confidence.
