I don’t have answers in this episode — and that’s the point.

This is a conversation I avoided for a long time: God, consciousness, free will, and the mystery at the center of existence. Not from a place of belief or disbelief, but from lived experience, deep questioning, and decades of watching what actually transforms people. I grew up religious.

I became skeptical. I walked away entirely. And then, slowly, the questions found me again — through nature, science, psychedelics, and moments that couldn’t be explained away. This episode isn’t about religion. It’s not about convincing you of anything. It’s about reopening a conversation many of us closed too early.

If you’ve ever felt torn between faith and reason… If certainty has stopped feeling honest… Or if you sense there’s something worth exploring beyond what you were taught… This conversation is for you.

Stay curious. Embrace the mystery. And see where the question takes you.
