Michelle Masters: "Rewiring Your Relationship with Money" Sep 15, 2026

Show notes

You've read the books, said the affirmations, made the plan—so why hasn't anything actually changed? Tami Simon speaks with Michelle Masters, a coach's coach and author of Wired for Money, about the survival wiring that locks in before we turn six, the family loyalties we inherit without knowing it, and what money looks like once you strip away everything we've projected onto it.

This conversation offers genuine transmission, not just concepts about awakening, but the palpable presence of realized teachers exploring the growing edge of spiritual understanding together, and it originally aired on Sounds True One.

Just One Question | Matt Gutman: Could Psychedelics Cure My Panic Disorder? Sep 10, 2026

Show notes

Journalist Matt Gutman hid his panic attacks for twenty years—until one hit him live on air. Tami asks him which of the psychedelics he tried actually changed things. His answer takes us to a mat in Peru's Sacred Valley, through something like ego death, and into a scream he didn't know he'd been holding.

Thomas Moore: "Curing Our Cultural Lostness" Sep 08, 2026

Show notes

What if what ails us isn't a problem to be solved, but a dimension we've forgotten? Tami Simon speaks with Thomas Moore—bestselling author of Care of the Soul and, at 85, still writing—about his new book, The Cure at Walden Pond. Moore makes the case that Thoreau was never really a naturalist, and that what he found at Walden is the cure our culture is starving for.

Just One Question | Pānquetzani: How Do We Honor Our Ancestors By Thriving? Sep 03, 2026

Show notes

Pānquetzani's ancestors survived colonization. Her response is to make her life an altar to them—slowing down, dancing, feeling pleasure, doing the healing they never got the chance to do. The traditional healer tells Tami what it means to raise children with a freedom her grandparents didn't have, and how a fifteen-year-old's metalwork revealed a family legacy nobody had mentioned.

[ENCORE EPISODE] Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche: "In Love with the World" Sep 01, 2026

Show notes

At 36, Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche walked out of his monastery in the middle of the night with a few thousand rupees and no plan. Weeks later, he was dying of food poisoning on a street in India—and chose not to call for help. In this encore episode, Tami Simon speaks with the beloved Tibetan Buddhist teacher about what he found on the other side of that night.

Rinpoche is now partnering with Sounds True on a brand-new course, Wild World, Steady Mind: 21 Days to Embrace Modern Reality with Clarity and Calm, filmed on location at his monastery in Nepal. Visit soundstrue.com to learn more.

The Point of Insight | "Half Human, Half Mystery" Aug 27, 2026

Show notes

What if you're only half human? In this Point of Insight, Tami Simon traces a thread from decades of her own practice and the discovery of the central channel to a startling moment mid-interview with Lee Harris—when she suddenly felt wings. A reflection on angelic support, the mystery each of us carries, and what it takes to finally fall back and trust.

Raj Sisodia: "Business Leaders, You Have a Sacred Obligation" Aug 25, 2026

Show notes

Heart attacks spike 20% on Monday mornings. That might just be a business problem, according to Raj Sisodia. Tami Simon speaks with the conscious capitalism pioneer and author of Healing Leaders about why a leader's unhealed trauma becomes everyone's burden, what it takes to run a company on love instead of fear, and why doing your own inner work isn't self-indulgence—it's a sacred obligation.

Raj Sisodia is guest faculty for Sounds True's Inner MBA®, a six-month immersion program created in collaboration with the Greater Good Science Center at UC Berkeley. Learn more at innermba.soundstrue.com. →

Just One Question | Shamini Jain: How Can You Heal From the Placebo Effect? Aug 20, 2026

Show notes

Most of us hear placebo and assume we're being fooled. Tami thought so too. Then Shamini Jain — clinical psychologist, biofield scientist, and author of Healing Ourselves — told her the placebo effect is actually our own healing response at work. You don't have to be tricked to get better.

Mallory and Chris have spent the past year and a half working on a podcast about energy healing and Sounds True is offering—right now—an immersion course on energy healing featuring Shamini Jain as well as Robert Peng and Laurie Nealon…so, now felt like the perfect time to bring this conversation back. And maybe rename that elephant for good.

Rob Bell: "The Risk of Not Becoming More You" Aug 18, 2026

Show notes

We usually frame it as risk versus safety. Rob Bell doesn't buy it—in his experience, it's risk both ways. Tami Simon speaks with the New York Times bestselling author, artist, and former pastor about leaving a role that stayed lodged between his ears, the years he spent hiding behind a microphone, and what it costs to keep saying no to the thing pulling at you.

Just One Question | James Hollis: Why Am I Here? Aug 13, 2026

Show notes

James Hollis was in the hospital, unsure whether he'd live, and what he felt wasn't despair — it was curiosity. In this episode the Jungian analyst flips the format on us and asks Tami Simon his own question instead: why am I here? His answer takes in Heidegger, the abyss, spinal surgery, and the strange freedom on the far side of certainty about death.
