Ep 266 - Amy Lea | Living Your Design
 Amy Lea—professional astrologer and human design analyst—shares how an autoimmune diagnosis at 23 led her to discover the revolutionary framework that explained a lifetime of burnout and misalignment. She reveals how human design offers a practical roadmap for living according to your unique energetic blueprint rather than society's hustle-driven paradigm. Through candid insights on projector energy, strategy and authority, and the difference between empowering self-knowledge versus spiritual bypassing, this episode delivers grounded wisdom on trusting your design, embracing experimentation over rigidity, and reclaiming your inner authority as we navigate the seismic shifts ahead.Time Stamps(00:00) Episode Teaser(00:26) Opening Conversation(05:01) Guest Introduction(05:56) Amy Lea's Hero's Journey(09:14) Human Design and Personal Growth(14:16) Deconditioning Process(23:12) Human Design Centers and Definitions(25:45) Emotional Waves and Relationships(28:28) The 2027 Shift(33:24) Human Design and Nervous System(37:04) Projectors & Manifestors(43:30) Sacral vs. Splenic Responses(48:16) Living in Alignment: Prosperity and Relationships(57:51) Manifestors and Childhood Conditioning(01:10:10) Navigating Decisions in Relationships(01:13:39) Challenges of Manifesting Generators(01:18:06) What is the “Soul” of Human Design?(01:26:50) Misconceptions in Human Design(01:29:08) Coherence Over Hustle(01:37:51) Closing Thoughts and ReflectionsGuest Linkshttps://www.amylea.com.au/ https://www.instagram.com/amylea.co/ Connect with UsJoin our membership Friends of the TruthTake the Real AF Test NowDiscover Your Truth Seeker ArchetypeWatch all our episodesConnect with us on TelegramAccess all our links

Ep 264 - Monika Bravo | The Art of Synthesis: Consciousness, Astrology & Bitcoin
 In this episode, we dive into the extraordinary life and mind of multidisciplinary artist and philosopher Monika Bravo — a woman whose journey spans continents, paradigms, and dimensions. From her early years in Colombia and Greece to three decades of public art installations around the world, Monika shares how her path of self-education, intuitive inquiry, and disillusionment with institutional systems led her toward synthesis — bridging art, philosophy, Austrian economics, and consciousness. We explore her experience surviving 9/11, her rejection of indoctrination in favor of true education, her awakening to Bitcoin as a state of consciousness, and her vision for a civilization grounded in value, truth, and individual sovereignty.Time Stamps(00:00) Episode Teaser(00:36) Opening Conversation(04:58) Introducing Monika Bravo(11:08) Living in Greece(15:39) 9/11 Experience(23:24) Art Education(34:44) Bitcoin Awakening(44:54) Capitalism vs. Socialism(50:31) The Concept of Sacrifice(52:28) Bitcoin as a State of Consciousness(01:00:36) Art and Ideology(01:17:16) The Importance of Greek and Egyptian Wisdom(01:23:11) Confronting Identity and Belonging(01:27:35) Human Design and Personal Growth(01:29:10) Astrology and Self-Understanding(01:39:41) Reflections on Personal Journeys(01:43:12) The Role of Astrology in Relationships(01:46:28) Embracing Individuality and Potential(01:51:04) Closing ThoughtsGuest Linkshttps://www.monikabravo.blog/ https://www.studioofendlessideas.com/ https://www.instagram.com/monikaco/ https://x.com/BravoMonika Connect with UsJoin our membership Friends of the TruthSubscribe to Here for the Truth FridaysWatch Joel’s Presentation: “Myths to Awaken the Soul”Take the Real AF Test NowDiscover Your Truth Seeker ArchetypeWatch all our episodesConnect with us on TelegramAccess all our linksPhoto of Monika by Richard Carpenter

Ep 263 - David Whitehead & Matt Presti | Truth Warrior Roundtable: Consciousness Under Siege
 In this third edition of the Truth Warrior Roundtable, we sit down with David Whitehead and Matt Presti to tackle one of the most turbulent moments in recent memory — the assassination of Charlie Kirk and the shockwaves it sent through the “truth” community. We break down the reactions on both the left and the right, the flood of conspiracy claims surrounding the event, and how Israel once again became a central point of debate in the aftermath.This conversation goes beyond headlines to address the deeper war on consciousness itself — why people struggle to hold uncertainty, the consequences of irresponsible speech, the role of faith and resilience in times of tragedy, and how to stay grounded in evidence and individualism rather than clickbait and emotional manipulation.Time Stamps(00:00) Episode Teaser(00:36) Opening Conversation(03:25) Guest Introductions(09:12) Discussion on Current Events and Truth Seeking(11:14) Reactions to Charlie Kirk's Assassination(17:19) Conspiracy Theories and Media Influence(42:00) Candace Owens(47:35) The Importance of Reason and Truth-Seeking(50:02) The Role of Influencers and Propaganda(52:52) The Complexity of Middle Eastern Politics(56:21) The Roots of Antisemitism and Historical Context(01:02:36) Judaism, Christianity, and Islam: Philosophical Differences(01:11:42) The Talmud Misconceptions(01:15:27) The Dangers of Collective Blame(01:30:50) The Pursuit of Truth vs. Being Right(01:32:07) The State of America and Government Actions(01:34:58) The Influence of Communism and Historical Parallels(01:36:40) Metaphysics vs. Physical Solutions(01:39:07) The Role of Religion in Society(01:42:39) Concerns About Christian Revival and Theocracy(01:51:12) The Power of the Individual vs. The Collective(01:56:47) Closing Thoughts on Individuality and FreedomGuest Linkshttps://www.dwtruthwarrior.com/ https://dwtruthwarrior.substack.com/ https://mattpresti.substack.com/ https://www.mattpresti.com/ Connect with UsJoin our membership Friends of the TruthSubscribe to Here for the Truth FridaysWatch Joel’s Presentation: “Myths to Awaken the Soul”Take the Real AF Test NowDiscover Your Truth Seeker ArchetypeWatch all our episodesConnect with us on TelegramAccess all our links

Ep 261 - Stefanos Sifandos | Facing the Wounds That Shape Our Relationships
 In this episode, we dive deep with Stefanos Sifandos into the hidden wounds and unconscious patterns that quietly shape the way we love and relate. From the absence of healthy rites of passage in modern culture to the unspoken impact of the mother wound, Stefanos unpacks how unresolved trauma, confusion about identity, and unexamined survival strategies keep so many of us cycling through pain in intimacy and partnership. Through raw honesty and lived experience, he reminds us that real transformation is not about quick fixes but a lifelong process of facing ourselves with courage, compassion, and integrity—ultimately allowing us to build relationships rooted in truth and growth.Time Stamps(00:00) Episode Teaser(00:30) Opening Conversation(05:20) Stefanos' Personal Hero's Journey(12:04) The Turning Point: A Catalyst for Change(14:45) The Journey into Personal Transformation(18:27) Challenges in Modern Relationships(32:29) The Role of Polarity in Relationships(44:59) The Mother Wound and Male Fragility(46:06) The Impact of Parental Influence(49:16) Mentors and Influential Books(54:11) The Role of Somatic Experiencing(01:00:09) Unconditional Love and Relationships(01:09:04) Devotion and Commitment in Modern Relationships(01:20:10) Messages to Men and Women(01:23:24) Conclusion and ResourcesGuest Linkshttps://stefanossifandos.com/https://coachwithstef.com/https://www.instagram.com/stefanossifandos/Connect with UsJoin our membership Friends of the TruthSubscribe to Here for the Truth FridaysTake the Real AF Test NowDiscover Your Truth Seeker ArchetypeWatch all our episodesConnect with us on TelegramAccess all our links

Ep 260 - Cal Washington | The Hidden Industry Behind Law & Power
 In this episode, we dive into the extraordinary journey of an ordinary man who was thrust into the legal system and, through relentless struggle, uncovered the hidden machinery driving family courts, governments, and corporations. What began as a personal battle over divorce and child support revealed a multi-trillion-dollar industry built on negotiable instruments, exposing how the system profits off human lives. Through years of trial, error, and perseverance, Cal Washington discovered the ancient roots of Lex Mercatoria—the Law Merchant—and how commerce, not justice, underpins the courts we think serve us. From facing jail time to holding judges accountable, to creating notices of liability that caused officials and apparently even a royal to step down, his story is one of grit, awakening, and empowerment. This is an eye-opening conversation that challenges everything you thought you knew about law, power, and freedom.Time Stamps(00:00) Episode Teaser(00:27) Opening Conversation(04:29) Introducing Cal Washington(06:51) Cal Washington's Legal Journey(08:39) The Divorce Industry Exposed(14:36) Understanding the Legal System(17:18) The Power of Commerce in Law(21:39) Cal's Personal Legal Battles(27:15) The Role of Law Merchant(35:10) Courtroom Experiences and Strategies(44:24) The Impact of Legal Knowledge(48:14) Unexpected Arrest and Meeting a Lawyer(49:24) Legal Maneuvers and Promissory Note(51:30) Escalation and Government Response(55:11) Empower Movement and Smart Meters(58:55) Notices of Liability and Public Impact(01:03:21) Financial System and Wealth Transfer(01:10:47) Personal Compliance and Legal Strategies(01:19:54) Biblical Contracts and Legal Principles(01:23:39) Future Vision and System Reset(01:28:53) Practical Applications and Final ThoughtsGuest Linkshttps://www.inpowermovement.org/hereforthetruth ($50 discount available)Connect with UsJoin our membership Friends of the TruthSubscribe to Here for the Truth FridaysTake the Real AF Test NowDiscover Your Truth Seeker ArchetypeWatch all our episodesConnect with us on TelegramAccess all our links

Ep 259 - Simon Esler | Reclaiming the Role of Men in Birth
 In this episode, we dive into the often-overlooked role of men in the birthing process and the profound rite of passage it represents for fathers, mothers, and children alike. We explore how devotion, presence, and embodied masculinity can transform not only the birth experience but the entire foundation of family life. From challenging the medicalized narratives that strip away natural sovereignty, to honoring birth as a spiritual initiation that shapes identity, resilience, and connection, this conversation is a call for men to reclaim their rightful place as protectors, anchors, and conscious participants in one of life’s most powerful thresholds.Time Stamps (00:00) Episode Teaser(00:39) Intro(06:26) Simon Esler's Personal Journey and Creative Pursuits(18:53) Navigating Sociopolitical Differences in the Arts(29:32) The Role of Masculinity in Birth and Pregnancy(42:18) Success Stories of Alternative Medicine(45:02) The Role of Fathers in Birth and Family(47:33) The Rite of Passage in Birth(49:51) Impact of C-Sections on Birth Experience(52:06) Challenges and Pressures in Modern Birth Practices(57:41) Breastfeeding and the Family Unit(01:03:14) Fatherhood and Devotion(01:15:43) Balancing Work and Family as a Father(01:23:18) Balancing Chaos and Parenting(01:24:07) Understanding Human Design in Family Dynamics(01:26:58) The Importance of Devotion and Presence(01:30:17) The Transformative Power of Birth for Men(01:36:06) Navigating Birth Experiences and Medical Systems(01:43:46) Reclaiming Birth and Cultural Conditioning(01:48:55) The Reclaiming Birth Conference(01:53:44) Final Reflections and Community EngagementGuest Linkshttps://www.simonesler.com/ https://www.reclaimingbirthconference.com/simon-esler (use code SIMON15 for 15% off your ticket)https://www.instagram.com/simon_esler1111/ Previous episodes with SimonConnect with UsJoin our membership Friends of the TruthSubscribe to Here for the Truth FridaysTake the Real AF Test NowDiscover Your Truth Seeker ArchetypeWatch all our episodesConnect with us on TelegramAccess all our links

Ep 258 - Natasha Nazerali | German New Medicine & The Heroine’s Journey
 Natasha Nazerali was raised between the material drive of her father and the spiritual awakening of her mother, and from an early age was immersed in powerful knowledge, particularly German New Medicine as a framework for understanding our biology. Her path carried her through childhood therapy sessions, artistic pursuits, rebellion in adolescence, psychic sensitivities, and ultimately the life-altering loss of her father in 2020—a turning point that called her back to GNM and the deeper purpose of guiding others toward sovereignty and freedom in their health.In this conversation we explore the five biological laws, common misconceptions about GNM, and the importance of family systems and “returning to the mother.” We also dive into raising children with GNM, the biological and societal impact of circumcision, and the role of perception in shaping health. At its heart, this dialogue is about awakening, responsibility, and embodying truth and love through our biology and our lives.Time Stamps(00:34) Opening Conversation(06:43) Introducing Natasha Nazerali(13:17) Navigating Childhood and Holistic Healing(23:21) Meeting the Psychic Medium(33:06) The Awakening: A Life Transformed by Loss and Purpose(46:24) Understanding Perceptions of German New Medicine(51:42) The Impact of Vaccination on Personal Beliefs and Community Dynamics(01:03:10) Navigating Guilt and Responsibility in Relationships(01:10:34) Circumcision and Its Psychological Impact Through the GNM Lens(01:15:50) Exploring the Impact of Circumcision on Masculinity(01:28:15) The Sound of Destiny(01:35:22) The Evolution of Understanding: A Community's Journey(01:45:32) Exploring the Intersection of GNM and HomeopathyGuest Linkshttps://www.natashanazerali.com/ https://www.drmelissasell.com/biological-woman https://thegnmweekend.com/ https://www.natashanazerali.com/gnm-homeopathy-course Here for the Truth GNM Foundations Episode 163:https://hereforthetruth.com/episode163Connect with UsJoin our membership Friends of the TruthSubscribe to Here for the Truth FridaysTake the Real AF Test NowDiscover Your Truth Seeker ArchetypeWatch all our episodesConnect with us on TelegramAccess all our links
