EPISODE SUMMARY:

Do genealogy and mediumship seem like strange bedfellows? Maybe. Maybe not.

Today we talk with Sharon DeBartolo Carmack, a Certified Genealogist® with an MFA in Creative Nonfiction Writing. She has a Certificate in Demonstrating Mediumship and an Advanced Academic Diploma from the Spiritualists’ National Union in the U.K. To her knowledge, she is the only person in the U.S. to have credentials in both mediumship and genealogy.

Listen in to hear how Sharon’s determination to find another way to connect with our ancestors paid off.

Topics We Discuss:

[3:28] Sharon’s natural transition from genealogy to mediumship.

[8:07] Different from Amy’s experiences where spirit spontaneously came to Amy, Sharon had a strong desire to pursue mediumship. She tried multiple paths (reiki, shamanism), but after finding a development circle and a spiritual mentor, things clicked.

[13:55] Sharon’s “spiritual internship”, doing 100 free telephone readings over several months.

[16:27] Finding the right school and teacher was critical.

[17:46] Amy talks about her new offering: 30/60/90 minute spiritual consultations. Not a therapy session, not a medium reading, but somewhere in between. Reach out at https://www.dramyrobbins.com/services

[21:20] Sharon asserts confidence in mediumship comes from knowing how to respond to a “no” from the person being read.

[27:08] Amy’s speed round questions: What is spirituality? What is something people don’t know about you? What is one thing you’re looking forward to right now? What’s one thing you’re deeply grateful for? What book is on your nightstand? What is your favorite spiritual or healing practice? What is the most spiritually transformative experience of your life?

[29:40] Why Sharon does not do private readings, but rather does group demonstrations.

[30:58] How our loved ones and ancestors are together in the spirit world. No one dies alone.

Episode Summary:

What do you feel when you hear about aliens? Does the idea invoke fear? Does it maybe all sounds like nonsense? How would you like to hear from someone who regularly communicates with what she calls “off-planet interdimensional light beings”?

Today we talk with Elizabeth April, clairvoyant, truth seeker, expert past life regressionist, intuitive psychic, quantum teacher, paradigm shifter, best-selling author, and badass millennial influencer.

Above all, her mission is to help humanity awaken by expanding minds to the infinite possibilities of the universe, through private readings ranging from celebrity clientele to those among her 300K+ online community. Most recently, Elizabeth brought her expertise to the small screen as a featured guest on Unidentified with Demi Lovato (NBC’s Peacock TV).

Prepare to have your mind blown!

Topics We Discuss:

[2:24] Elizabeth’s metaphysical abilities were apparent at a small child: hearing spirits, seeing ghosts, picking up peoples’ energy. BTW, she feels most all children have these abilities.

[5:40] How a past life regression experience at age 16, followed by a fully conscious abduction by interdimensional beings at age 18, brought her current reality into clear view.

[8:20] Elizabeth’s experience with off-planet interdimensional beings, aka aliens, aka extraterrestrials. The Galactic Federation.

[12:35] Overview of off-planet beings who originate from “off-planet”. Elizabeth describes 12 dimensions of the universe. The ultimate goal of experiencing the 12 dimensions is returning to source.

[17:31] Where Elizabeth believes the soul goes when we die. She sometimes helps souls who are stuck in a purgatory type place. She says all souls meet with loved ones who have crossed over, their guardian angel and guides, and experience a life review.

[20:09] Elizabeth’s experience with aliens of various dimensions, and what they look like to her. Source has no dimension. Dimensions are containers for an incarnated soul.

[25:34] Angelic beings, angels in the 7th dimension. Just as a variety of plants, animals and humans represent 3rd dimensional beings, beings in the multiple dimensions are represented by vast variety.

[27:24] Galactic Federation of Light – a universe-wide governing organization that keeps law and order based on universal laws. For example, the law of non-intervention. All dimensional beings are represented. Millions of councils are involved.

[31:53] What the Galactic Federation of Light is saying about everything that is happening on planet earth. Between 2020 and 2024 Elizabeth expects an absolute collapse of the parts of the 3rd dimensional reality that are serving the 1%, versus all of humanity. She feels things may get worse before getting better. She expects that in 2025 solutions will emerge – solutions in the areas of energy, plastics, cancer…

[36:10] Everything that is not working in the higher frequency, in the unified frequency, is breaking down naturally. Galactic Federation souls have been incarnating to help us – called star seeds, old souls, volunteers. These star seeds feel different.

[38:16] Amy’s speed round questions: What is spirituality? What is something people don’t know about you? What is one thing you’re looking forward to right now? What’s one thing you’re deeply grateful for? What book is on your nightstand? What is your favorite spiritual or healing practice? What is the most spiritually transformative experience of your life?

[41:17] How Elizabeth connects with other beings and dimensions by reaching a trancelike state of equanimity.

How to Open Up to Angels with Julie Jancius Sep 08, 2022

Show notes

HOW TO OPEN UP TO ANGELS with JULIE JANCIUS

“Your guardian angel is there no matter what. We as humans feel a ton of shame, guilt, stress, anxiety; they are here to help us step out of all of that, into purpose, oneness… to be love. ” – Julie Jancius, The Angel Medium

Episode Summary:

Do you believe in angels? Or does that sound too “fairy tale” to you? Are you somewhere in the skeptical but curious middle? Do you find yourself wishing you could connect directly and maybe sort it all out once and for all?

Today we talk with Julie Jancius, who helps people awaken spiritually, by helping them remember who they are and what their soul’s purpose is. She helps them identify how fear is holding them back. She teaches energy healing techniques and how to communicate with spirit, to bring more peace, ease, love and joy into their lives.

Listen in to hear about how Julie experiences guardian angels, cherubs, and archangels Raphael, Gabrielle, and Michael. Join Julie and Amy in a oneness exercise -- tap into god/universe/source energy/spirit to feel peace, bliss, ease and grace -- and radiate love to your town, your state, your country, the planet, the universe...

Topics We Discuss:

[2:37] How Julie began connecting with angels.

[9:22] The notion of oneness – tapping into god/universe/source energy/spirit to feel peace, bliss, ease and grace. Julie asserts you can arrive at the state of oneness by way of a simple morning ritual. And that god/universe/source energy/spirit leaves us “bread crumbs”.

[13:03] How Julie says you know you are at the state of oneness. What oneness feels like to Julie.

[20:07] How to differentiate intuition/guidance from the voice of the ego.

[20:41] How society can move away from divisions, and cultivate oneness and understanding. Doing the shadow work on oneself.

[24:09] Guardian angels. Their job is to help us step out of guilt, shame, anxiety and toward purpose, feel ease and love.

[27:03] Cherubs are all around us. They fill the space in the atom that make up everything in the universe, including us.

[27:58] A oneness exercise to radiate and hold oneness anywhere and anytime.

[31:45] How Julie experiences archangels Raphael, Gabrielle, Michael; the Seraphims,

[35:22] Amy’s speed round questions: Spirituality means…? What is something people don’t know about you? What is one thing you’re looking forward to right now? What’s one thing you’re deeply grateful for? What book in on your nightstand? What is your favorite spiritual or healing practice? What is the most spiritually transformative experience of your life?

Does Purgatory Exist? with Father Nathan Castle Sep 01, 2022

Show notes

DOES PURGATORY EXIST? with FATHER NATHAN CASTLE

“These profound experiences that you’re having give so many people hope that life is eternal, that it does go on, that we are just a physical body and when we die we don’t die.”

– Dr. Amy Robbins, discussing Father Nathan Castle’s work helping souls adjust to the afterlife

Episode Summary:

Death by fires, automobile accidents, shootings, stabbings and drownings? Oh my!

Today we talk with Father Nathan Castle, who over the past 20 years says he has helped at least 250 people who died suddenly adjust to the afterlife. Victims of quick and often violent death came to him in his dreams seeking help. Although such contact with the other side was not something he sought out, Father Nathan has come to believe that providing such help is a responsibility the Holy Spirit has given him.

His books “Afterlife Interrupted”, “Afterlife Interrupted 2” are available now.

Listen in to hear how Father Nathan feels called to do his otherworldly work, in parallel to his service as a Catholic priest.

Topics We Discuss:

[2:24] How victims of Interrupted Death Experiences™, often after violent unnatural deaths contact Father Nathan. How he allows the person to channel through him, helping them heal and ultimately “take on the adventure of the afterlife”.

[8:46] What causes souls to get stuck.

[12:37] The concept of purgatory. Don’t assume your loved one who died suddenly or violently is “stuck”.

[15:46] The details of the healing ceremony, which includes Father Nathan’s co-conscious channeling the voice of the person/soul who needs help moving forward. Guardian angels (aka spirit guides, aka beings of light) participate.

[19:18] What happens to the soul after the Father Nathan’s healing.

[20:35] How Father Nathan’s catholic faith interplays with his healing approach. Christianity and Easter. The universality of belief in life after death.

[22:52] Ethical questions and considerations of Father Nathan’s work. Navigating professional boundaries around psychotherapy vs. boundaries around Catholic priesthood.

[26:55] Quantum theology, where theologians consider the theological concepts through the prism of quantum physics.

[28:47] Amy’s speed round questions: What is spirituality? What is something people don’t know about you? What is one thing you’re looking forward to right now? What’s one thing you’re deeply grateful for? What book in on your nightstand? What is your favorite spiritual or healing practice? What is the most spiritually transformative experience of your life?

What it Means to be an Empath with Dr. Judith Orloff Aug 25, 2022

Show notes

WHAT IT MEANS TO BE AN EMPATH with DR. JUDITH ORLOFF

“If you are empathic, you must develop skills to not take on the suffering of the world.” – psychiatrist Dr. Judith Orloff

Episode Summary:

Are the woes of the world weighing especially heavily on you lately? Are you feeling burned out? Is it all just too much?

If so… you may be an empath.

Psychiatrist Judith Orloff, MD asserts that we are the keepers of an innate intuitive and empathic intelligence so perceptive that it can help us heal — and prevent illness. These qualities are too often disenfranchised from conventional health care. Dr. Orloff is a New York Times bestselling author and is on the UCLA psychiatric clinical faculty. Her mission is proving the links between physical, emotional, and spiritual health.

She has written 8 books. Her newest, “Affirmations for Empaths” is a weekly journal helping sensitive, caring, empathic people reflect and flourish.

Listen in to hear how Dr. Orloff bridges psychiatry and spirituality.

Topics We Discuss:

[3:18] How Dr. Orloff’s combines traditional medical skills with her empathic gifts and intuition. Her new workbook, and how she intends you to use it to expand into more natural ways of you being you.

[10:02] Dr. Orloff’s working definition of “empath”. Her first book has a 20 question self-assessment to determine if you are an empath.

[12:15] Empaths feel overwhelm from large crowds and from not being understood. Most empath are introverts, but empaths can also be extroverts.

[16:40] Affirmations are a useful tool for establishing new neural pathways, for soaking the subconscious with new ideas. This is not spiritual bypassing.

[21:08] Dr Orloff asserts, and Dr. Robbins agrees, you may never get over the fears, the anxiety, and the negative messages. Rather, you learn how to tame them and learn skills to manage them.

[22:26] The importance of meditation as a spiritual practice.

[23:37] How Dr Orloff incorporates intuition in her psychiatry work. She listens with her linear mind, while listening with her intuition and empathy.

FOLLOW DR. JUDITH ORLOFF:

Her latest book, “Affirmations for Empaths” is available on Amazon and wherever books are sold.

Soul Writing with Joanne DiMaggio Aug 18, 2022

Show notes

SOUL WRITING with JOANNE DIMAGGIO

“I can see where it could be a great adjunct to therapy… being able to access those deeper parts of ourselves…and really tap into the pure soul of who we are.” – Dr. Amy Robbins on soul writing

Episode Summary:

How would you like to open a direct channel to your higher self? You maybe have always assumed you needed some psychic super powers to do that – our guest today says anyone can.

Today we talk with author and past-life researcher Joanne DiMaggio. She is a student of Edgar Cayce, an early 20th century psychic. Joanne has been researching and chronicling past life and life-between-life stories and helping people learn: how our past lives influence our current life, what it feels like to die, what the afterlife looks like, the role of our parents and soul family, defining our soul’s mission, and selecting our new bodies.

Listen in to hear about soul writing, the subject of Joanne’s book, “Your Soul Remembers: Accessing Your Past Lives through Soul Writing”

Topics We Discuss:

[2:57] Soul writing as a written form of meditation, allowing us to connect with the divine within, or collective consciousness. Anyone can do it!

[5:19] How to soul write. Start a session with a question or prompt.

[7:27] How soul writing can enhance your life.

[12:16] Joanne describes how she sees the difference between soul writing and automatic writing. NOTE: some people use the term automatic writing very differently than how Joanne defines it.

[15:35] How to know if the information is coming from source, or the mind.

[21:58] Pre-life planning sessions between lives.

[24:31] The concept of the soul family; your mother in this life could have been your husband in another.

[28:00] Amy’s speed round questions: What is spirituality? What is something people don’t know about you? What is one thing you’re looking forward to right now? What’s one thing you’re deeply grateful for? What book is on your nightstand? What is your favorite spiritual or healing practice? What is the most spiritually transformative experience of your life?

Questions for When You Are Gone with Rabbi Steve Leder Aug 11, 2022

Show notes

Questions For When You Are Gone with Rabbi Steve Leder

“If you are afraid of dying it’s not your day. Anxiety is for the living. So if you are worried and anxious about dying, you’re not dying, which means you have time to let death teach you about living and loving your life.” – Rabbi Steve Leder

“Most people die exactly the way they live.” – Rabbi Steve Leder

“The meaning of life is that it stops.” German author Franz Kafka (1883-1924)

Episode Summary:

What can death teach you about how to live your life?

Today we talk with Rabbi Steve Leder, currently serving as the Senior Rabbi of Wilshire Boulevard Temple, a prestigious synagogue in Los Angeles with three campuses and 2,700 families.

He has been a regular contributor and guest on the Today Show, writes regularly for TIME, Foxnews.com, Maria Shriver’s Sunday Paper, contributed a chapter to “Charles Barkley’s book Who’s Afraid of a Large Black Man?’, and has published essays in Town and Country, the Los Angeles Times, and USA Today. Newsweek Magazine twice named him one of the ten most influential rabbis in America.

Most important to Steve is being Betsy’s husband and Aaron and Hannah’s dad. He is also a Jew who likes to fish. Go figure.

After undergraduate study at Northwestern University and Trinity College, Oxford University, Rabbi Leder received a Master’s Degree in Hebrew Letters in 1986 and Rabbinical Ordination in 1987 from Hebrew Union College.

His book “More Beautiful Than Before; How Suffering Transforms Us”, published in 2017, reached #4 on Amazon’s overall best sellers list in its first week. It remains a best seller in several categories and has been translated into Korean and Chinese.

His book “The Beauty of What Remains; How Our Greatest Fear Becomes Our Greatest Gift” was published by Penguin Random House in January, 2021. Publisher’s weekly called it “…elegant and compassionate” and it quickly became a national best seller.

Rabbi Leder’s newest book “For You When I Am Gone; Twelve Essential Questions to Tell a Life Story”, also published by Penguin Random House, launches on June 7, 2022

Rabbi Leder has served literally thousands of people and their families around their deaths. Listen in to hear how death can be your most profound teacher.

Topics We Discuss:

[4:19] Steve Leder’s contrasting experiences of death through two lenses: first as Rabbi Steve Leder, and secondly as a son whose father died.

[7:30] The dichotomies or dualities that permeate life.

[12:05] The tremendous internal conflict working around a woman with ALS at the end days of her life who was ready to die.

[20:57] Rabbi Leder observes the actively dying are not afraid, in a place of acceptance, and at peace.

[27:27] How answering Rabbi’s 12 questions in his book “For You When I Am Gone; Twelve Essential Questions to Tell a Life Story” will help you align with your truth. Instead of leaving your loved ones a dry document in legalese.

[34:31] Why Rabbi Leder says, “Most people die exactly the way they live”.

[41:50] Learning via the negative. Death as a teacher.

[46:32] The pursuit of happiness. Sacrifice as a means of drawing closer to god, and drawing loved ones closer. Finding moments that connect us to the divine. In giving we receive.

[5405] What Rabbi Leder believes what happens when we die.

The Power of Plant Medicine with Kat Courtney Aug 04, 2022

Show notes

The Power of Plant Medicine with Kat Courtney

“They’ve taught me that truth is the only way out of chaos. So first I have to first show up real, vulnerable, and all in.” – Kat Courtney, on psychedelic sacred medicine plant journeys

“Drinking plant medicine a few times and assuming you know how to lead a ceremony is like watching a few episodes of Grey’s Anatomy and assuming you know how to perform surgery.” – Kat Courtney

Episode Summary:

Have you been hearing more and more lately about psychedelics and healing? We sure have!

Today we talk with Tina “Kat” Courtney, known as The AfterLife Coach, a traditionally trained Ayahuasquera and Huachumera, carrying the Shipibo-Conibo, Quechua-Lamista, and Chavin plant medicine lineages.

She works as a ceremony guide, psychedelic integration coach, and is a certified Death Doula. Kat is an enthusiastic advocate for reverent and safe plant medicine experiences and is a passionate messenger of how to co-create magic without trauma in psychedelic spaces.

She is also the co-founder of Plant Medicine People, a Plant Medicine concierge company and the author of “Plant Medicine Mystery School”.

Listen in to hear how sacred plant medicines can help us all heal.

Topics We Discuss:

[3:30] Kat’s first experiences with plant medicine. Becoming hopeful she was able to heal significant then-day challenges: bulimia, functional alcoholism, bipolar disorder.

[5:53] Appropriate reverence for sacred plant medicine.

[8:07] Differences between plant consciousness and human consciousness. Ego vs. unity consciousness.

[11:11] The pothole of spiritual bypassing using psychedelics.

[13:30] Drug Induced Ego Dissolution (DIED) aka Ego Death. The experience of unity consciousness – our connection to everything, interconnectedness and safety.

[17:16] Kat cautions people NOT to force an ego death during a psychedelic experience from a place of “ego = bad”. Instead, take the experience from a place of self-love.

[19:28] The importance of integration following any peak experiences, whether from trauma, plant medicine, or life itself. Spending time making sense of the experience.

[23:09] Although not physically addictive, the real possibility of psychological addiction and abuse of plant medicines.

[25:25] Kat’s thoughts, as a white woman from Montana, on Westernizing and capitalizing what is a traditionally indigenous ritual.

[32:47] Kat’s assessment of lab-created synthetic vs. natural, organic psychedelics.

[36:25] The “personalities” of the major plant medicines: ayahuasca, psilocybin, Huachuca (San Pedro cactus), bufo toad venom, and iboga.

[42:18] Micro-dosing vs. divine dosing, and all points between.

[45:05] What the plants are saying about what humanity is doing globally today.

[48:36] Amy’s speed round questions: What is spirituality? What is something people don’t know about you? What is one thing you’re looking forward to right now? What’s one thing you’re deeply grateful for? What book in on your nightstand? What is your favorite spiritual or healing practice? What is the most spiritually transformative experience of your life?
