26 MAY 2026 · My guest today is my friend Dr Edith Ubuntu Chan, an expert in consciousness & human evolution, a Holistic Chinese Medicine Doctor, author, speaker.
In our conversation, Dr Edith shares her journey that began in 2003 with a meditation-induced mystical experience that completely changed the way she viewed reality. As a result, she now devotes her life to “unlocking the secrets to our Human Potential” - as she says on her website.
Dr Edith tells how her son visited her before he was born and showed her about the new generation of babies being born who can help us remember and access our innate abilities; abilities that we never actually ‘lost’, we’ve simply forgotten them.
We also discuss how Blindfold Reading, which Dr Edith facilitates, is a major step in activating those innate abilities that we all possess - adults and children - through fun and play.

19 MAY 2026 · Today my guest is Beth Martens, founder of the House of Free Will, pattern hunter, archetype reader, podcaster, author, coach trainer, and business coach.
In our conversation, Beth explains the nature of the programmes that seem to run our lives and how they intersect with our belief systems and the stories we continue to tell ourselves about ourselves and our lives.
Once we understand these programmes, we can learn to set ourselves free from them - usually by taking the Hero’s Journey.
Join us in this wonderful conversation, in which we discuss:
- The Hero's Journey, archetypes, and human emotions
- What deprogramming really is
- Why the inner work is the hardest work of all
- Freedom
- and much more…

10 MAY 2026 · Despite its name and the fact that it requires us to face our ‘shadows’, the Dark Night is ‘a sacred Rite of Passage’, as Anné Klint, my guest on this episode explains.
Join us as we dive into this seemingly scary topic to discuss why the dark night is not the same as depression and how to discern the difference.
We also discuss:
- How to find meaning in our dark night(s)
- The collective ‘dark night’ we’re experiencing
- How to employ compassion for ‘others’
- Anné’s work
- And more…
Extract from Anné's bio:
The Dark Night is not a dead end. It's a sacred Rite of Passage.
Your descent is a profound initiation — whether it arrives as diagnosis, divorce, a mid-life unraveling (aka menopause!), or just a quiet erosion of everything that used to mean something. Every time I went under, I came back more luminous. More real. More me. Not despite the darkness. Because of it.
This is what I've been guiding people through for over a decade. Meet this journey with consciousness, curiosity and compassion — and you don't just survive it. You birth your soul work.
You came here to love and create unapologetically. To come home to the divine within you. I can help you remember that.

10 APR 2026 · In our conversation, Cate Zoltan shares how she discovered and then healed her childhood trauma by attending Matthew’s Natural Mediation retreats. In the stillness and silence offered by these retreats, she discovered a way to re-connect to herself and resolve the trauma her body had been carrying. As a result, she is now committed to sharing her understandings with a broader audience so others can experience the same depth of recovery she has.
Cate explains in her bio:
“Over the past three decades she has attended and facilitated more than seventy silent retreats alongside Matthew. Through this work she has witnessed the quiet but lasting changes that occur when people are given enough time and stability to settle into themselves.”

1 APR 2026 · Today’s fascinating conversation is with my friend Brendan Murphy in which we discuss the topics in his new book, Reverse Engineering the Afterlife.
Brendan D. Murphy researches consciousness, post-mortem models, non-physical perception, and the origins of modern metaphysical narratives. As the creator of the Consciousness Transition Model (CTM), his work synthesises contemporary data with classical esoteric frameworks, most notably in Reverse-Engineering the Afterlife: Book 2 of The Grand Illusion Series—a cutting-edge study of the afterlife system and rules of non-physical perception (coming soon!).
In this wide-ranging conversation, we discuss:
- Brendan’s Consciousness Transition Model
- What happens after death
- The nature of NDEs, their similarities and differences across cultures
- Ideas about the ‘soul trap’ concept
- Reincarnation
- And much more…

18 FEB 2026 · In this conversation, returning guest and friend Matthew Zoltan discusses his transition from his years as a monk into healing with osteopathy, massage, and counselling with an emphasis on understanding how the body holds memories and expresses it through pain and other symptoms.
We explore how certain symptoms indicate specific types of emotional/psychological issues and Matthew discusses his understanding of trauma and how it affects people through his many decades of experience. We also discuss how this relates to what are called ‘mental illnesses’ and much more…

9 FEB 2026 · In this conversation with my good friend Yerasimos Stilianessis, we discuss a number of topics that are of great interest to us both, such as parts work and Human Design, and how they help us discover who we are and how we can become the best versions of ourselves.
Yerasimos shares how he has chosen not to follow the status quo, but instead to follow his own inner guidance, a path that was based on his passion for learning how to live in alignment with truth, which he now shares with others. At its heart, Yerasimos’s work is about empowering people to create lives that truly reflect who they are.
He and his business partner Joel Rafidi co-host the Here For The Truth podcast, where they challenge mainstream conditioning and open space for deeper inquiry into life’s big questions.
Join us for a fantastic and enlightening conversation.
