Michael Phillip is one of my favorite thinkers on the internet. As a self-described “wonder junky” and host of the popular podcast, Third Eye Drops, Michael is well versed in topics ranging from spirituality to science to ancient wisdom. He holds space for all sorts of fascinating ideas without being overly attached to any of them.

In this episode we discuss the difference between science and spirituality, the ancient knowledge of Hermeticism, and what it was like for both of us growing up in small towns in the midwest.

Michael is a breath of intellectual fresh air and you're going to love this episode.

Elizabeth April is one of my favorite people (and an actual homesick alien). She’s a YouTuber, podcast host,  author, and all around interdimensional badass. Elizabeth is probably best known for her work “channeling” what she called the “Galactic Federation,” a council of interdimension beings who are working behind the scenes to steer humanity in a positive direction. 

If you find this hard to believe, that’s okay. You don’t have to take it literally. One of my favorite mottos is “Everything is true. Nothing is literal.” To me, every spiritual and philosophical idea is like a novel or a song – it’s an artful interpretation of reality. There is room for multiple mythologies to exist at once, and Elizabeth delivers a very potent mythology to ponder.

In this episode we discuss the first time Elizabeth was abducted from aliens, her process for channeling, and the hidden galactic war that is taking place behind the scenes of the current planetary crisis. Elizabeth is a bright light and beautiful soul and you won’t want to miss this episode.

Someone on Instagram asked me for my best “manifestation story.” This is it. 

In 2017, I published my first book, Sh#t Your Ego Says, with Hay House. At the time, I had no audience or marketing platform whatsoever. I probably had a couple hundred Instagram followers, all of whom were friends and family. I had yet to make a single meme. I was a complete unknown.

So how was I able to sign a book deal with one of the most famous self-help publishers? Honestly, it’s an adventure story. There’s no template. You can’t get there by following someone else’s path. My story involves taking risks, moving across the country, becoming homeless, and eventually finding a way that was fully and authentically mine.

In the newest episode of Homesick Alien Club, I share the complete, uncut story of how the book and book deal for Sh#t Your Ego Says happened, while sharing some major keys 🔑🔑🔑 I learned along the way,

This episode is a must-listen.

The world is changing fast.  It's time for us to change too. The people I know who are truly thriving in this time of rapid transition are those who are most willing to release their attachment to the people they used to be and emerge from the fire of change transformed. It's time for gangster-level authenticity 🔥🔥🔥

Change is never comfortable. But in the long run, the pain of staying the same is much greater than the temporary pain of change. Consider this episode your permission to release your attachment to your old identity and become somebody new.  You're ready 🌻

(I also tell the story of the last time I drank ayahuasca, when David Bowie rescued me from the apocalypse.)

Chelsie Diane is a poet, mother, wild woman, and one of the most resilient and authentic people I know. She wears her (big) heart on her sleeve and helps others do the same. In this episode, we talk about her creative process, how to be bold and vulnerable on social media, plant medicine, manifestation through poetry, and how creativity can be a spiritual path and practice unto itself.

We also discuss her recent trip to Costa Rica where she experienced both love and heartbreak. (If you listened to the episode with Emma Zeck, this might sound familiar. This is Chelsie's side of the story.)

This is a powerful conversation that you won't want to miss.
