Can energy medicine transform your surgical experience?

Compassion as Spiritual Practice with Pria Acharya - EP 329
Tuesday Sep 23, 2025
Tuesday Sep 23, 2025
Author and filmmaker Pria Acharya shares how a personal turning point shattered old, generational conditioning and opened her to a deeper truth. From discovering the hidden realities behind the dairy industry to the story of a calf who forever changed her heart, Pria invites us as spiritual journeyers to question what we’ve been taught, who we want to be, and how far our compassion extends. We explore how comforting myths distort truth, the grief that comes with awakening, the simplicity and holiness of the mother-baby connection, and the courage it takes to walk away from herd mentality. There’s no blame or shame here, only an invitation to look behind the curtain as we awaken together and walk each other home.

Staying Human & Facing Death with Dr. Brad Stuart - EP 327
Tuesday Sep 09, 2025
Tuesday Sep 09, 2025
What if death isn’t the end, but a doorway to discovering who we truly are? Dr. Brad Stuart—physician, innovator, and author—takes us from the halls of Stanford Medical School to the mysteries and stark realities of end-of-life care. He discusses what's missing in medical training, the challenges that doctors face to stay human in the current profit-centered medical paradigm, and the healing that happens to both doctor and patient through compassion and listening. Along the way, we uncover near-death experiences, visions at the bedside, and the surprising role of psychedelics in easing our fear of dying. Brad’s message is whether we start now or let death do it for us, letting go is the ultimate practice we all face. This is about more than death—it’s about awakening to your true self and perhaps having hope for the future of medicine and healthcare.
