    MEDIUMSHIP INSIGHTS: Techniques, Limitations, and Best Practices with Kat B

    10/04/2026 | 1h 18 mins.
    Kat and I are friends going back a couple of years. We each have a daughter in spirit. Kat is the affiliate leader of the UK Helping Parents Heal group. Kat had a successful business career before having a Kundalini awakening experience and becoming a professional medium. In addition to mediumship, Kat practices multiple healing modalities.

    Kat heard my episode on mediumship and wanted to have a conversation about me using the word "imagination" to describe what mediumship is like. In this conversation, we talk about the different types of mediumship, how mediumship works, the limitations of mediumship, and how you can have the best experience when you go for a reading.

    You can reach Kat at: https://kat-b.com/ 

    She is available for mediumship readings and offers other healing services as well.

    Talking to Lost Loved Ones With AI | John Kammer EP 483

    07/04/2026 | 1h 2 mins.
    What if you could finally have the conversation you never got to finish?
    John Kammer lost three of his closest friends in just a few years — each loss sudden, each one leaving words unsaid. Out of that grief, and after more than a decade of silence and struggle, John built Guardian A(i)ngels (guardianaingels.ai) — an AI-powered interactive journal designed to help grieving people find language for what they're carrying, work through guilt and unresolved emotion, and move toward healing at their own pace.
    This isn't a conversation with the dead. It's a conversation with yourself — guided, responsive, and available whenever you need it.
    In this episode, Brian and John explore what it really means to grieve as a man, why the "hero story" has robbed men of permission to be vulnerable, and how an unexpected conversation with his wife sparked an idea that would change John's life — and the lives of the people he now serves.
    In this episode:
    Why men are conditioned to grieve in silence — and what it costs them
    The moment John finally had permission to forgive himself
    The difference between closure and resolution
    How Guardian A(i)ngels works as an interactive grief journal (not a digital séance)
    The four tasks of grief — and why the five stages fall short
    The 10-week Foundations program and how it builds the grief muscle over time
    Why radical transparency is at the heart of everything John does
    About John Kammer John Kammer is a new father, dedicated husband, and the founder of Guardian A(i)ngels (guardianaingels.ai) — an AI grief journaling platform built from his own experience of losing three close friends. John is passionate about bringing grief out of the shadows, especially for men, and committed to helping people do the work at their own pace, on their own terms.

    Microdosing for Grief: Heal and Reconnect with Your Loved Ones | Kayse Gehret | EP 482

    31/03/2026 | 1h 8 mins.
    What if grief could be metabolized — not just managed?
    Most of us have been told to process grief through talking, reading, and time. And those things help. But what if there's a layer of grief stored in your body that talk therapy simply can't reach? What if the density of your pain is the very thing blocking you from feeling the spiritual connection you're desperate for?
    That's exactly what today's guest has spent years helping people discover.
    Kayse Gehret is the founder of Microdosing for Healing, a global community spanning more than 30 countries, and the creator of the first professional microdosing facilitator training program. With nearly three decades in holistic wellness, Kayse has guided thousands of people — including many who have lost children — through psilocybin microdosing practices that go where other healing modalities can't.
    In this conversation, Kayse shares her own story: how she lost her father at age seven, developed a grand mal seizure disorder in her teens, and how microdosing not only stopped her seizures but opened a spiritual connection she couldn't reach any other way. She also breaks down exactly what microdosing is, who it's for, and how to know if you're ready.
    In this episode we explore:
    The difference between microdosing and a full psychedelic journey — and why that distinction matters for people who are fearful
    How psilocybin metabolizes grief stored in the body, releasing layers even years of therapy couldn't touch
    Why grief and fear are the two biggest blocks to spiritual connection with our loved ones
    The role of community, guides, and intention in making microdosing truly effective
    What to expect in the first weeks — from heightened senses to vivid dreams to unexpected signs from those who have passed
    How to know if you're emotionally ready — and what to do first if you're not
    The sacred 3–5am window and why loved ones so often come through during those hours

    What You Don't Know About Grief | With Amanda Beth Johnson | EP 481

    24/03/2026 | 1h 6 mins.
    What if grief isn't something to get over — but something to grow through?
    In this powerful episode, Brian sits down with intuitive healer, ThetaHealing practitioner, and bestselling author Amanda Beth Johnson, who was widowed at just 27 years old when her husband Jeff was killed suddenly in a car accident. Nearly 30 years later, Amanda has transformed that devastating loss into a life of service — helping others navigate the emotional, physical, and spiritual terrain of grief with wisdom that can only come from having lived it.
    This conversation goes places most grief discussions never reach. Amanda opens up about the premonition dream she'd been having since age 12, the guilt of moving forward after loss, why healing isn't linear but layered, and how energy medicine and ThetaHealing can access what talk therapy sometimes can't touch. 
    If you've been wondering why grief keeps showing up even years after your loss, or whether it's possible to carry your person forward without staying stuck — this episode is for you.
    In this episode, we cover:
    Why the five stages of grief are widely misunderstood — and what to expect instead
    The "rock in a jar" model of grief that changed how Amanda thinks about healing
    What ThetaHealing is and why it works at a level that surprises people
    How to honor your person's memory in healthy versus unhealthy ways
    The role of intuition, energy work, and somatic healing in grief recovery
    Why moving forward is not betrayal — and how your person may actually be cheering you on
    What Amanda would tell her 27-year-old self about feeling the feelings
