Ep 272 - Katie Hess | The Medicine in the Meadow
In this episode, we step into the world of subtle energies, ancient lineages, and the forgotten intelligence of nature with renowned flower essence pioneer Katie Hess. For more than 25 years, Katie has traveled the world hand-collecting rare blooms, studying their emotional and spiritual signatures, and helping thousands dissolve old patterns, open the heart, and reconnect with who they truly are.

Ep 271 - Meli Neubek | Decoding 2026: Mapping the Year Ahead
In this episode, we sit down with astrologer and psychological guide Meli Neubek for a grounded, insightful exploration of how astrology can deepen self-understanding and offer a clearer lens on the collective shifts unfolding as we approach 2026. Meli shares her personal journey into astrology, how she blends evolutionary and psychological frameworks, and why self-inquiry, intuition, and agency matter more than ever in times of rapid change. Together we unpack the major planetary movements shaping the coming years, the importance of staying curious rather than fatalistic, and how each of us can navigate emerging cycles with clarity, responsibility, and authenticity.Time Stamps(00:00) Episode Teaser(00:32) Opening Conversation(07:12) Introducing Meli Neubek(10:08) Meli’s Journey and Personal Growth(24:57) Why Meli Resonates with Astrology(38:53) The Whole Sign House System(39:40) Different Astrological Perspectives(40:42) Integrating Astrological Knowledge(42:19) Astrology and Human Experience(48:57) 2026 Astrology Reading(53:50) Pluto's Transition from Capricorn to Aquarius(01:09:44) Neptune Entering Aries: Dreams into Reality(01:14:41) Uranus Moving into Gemini: Shocking the System(01:16:29) FAA Disruptions (Uranus in Gemini)(01:17:32) Historical Context of Uranus in Gemini(01:18:34) Future Predictions and Technological Advancements(01:20:14) Uranus and Pluto: Historical Impacts(01:24:19) Nervous System Overload and Practical Advice(01:26:02) Astrological Insights for 1981-1982 Births(01:27:20) Summary of 2026 Astrological Events(01:36:03) Yerasimos’ Astrological Reading(01:41:27) Joel’s Astrological Reading(01:50:02) Closing ThoughtsGuest LinksDownload Meli’s 2026 Guide to Neptune + UranusCelestial Curiosities PodcastBook a reading with Melihttps://www.instagram.com/melineubekConnect with UsJoin our membership Friends of the TruthRise Above The Herd Take the Real AF Test NowDiscover Your Truth Seeker ArchetypeWatch all our episodesConnect with us on TelegramFollow us on InstagramAccess all our links

Ep 270 - Peta Kelly | The Beauty of God’s Design
In this episode, we sit down with Peta Kelly for a raw, deeply human exploration of what it truly means to live in alignment with God’s design. Peta opens up about her upbringing as an eldest daughter in a tough environment, her meteoric rise in the holistic health world, and the long road of shedding the “boss babe” identity to reclaim her femininity, her faith, and her integrity. We explore motherhood without perfectionism, raising resilient children in a fragile culture, letting go of wellness neurosis, and trusting the innate intelligence of the body. With her trademark honesty, humor, and self-awareness, Peta speaks to the beauty, the messiness, and the liberation found in radical self-honesty. This is a conversation about faith, resilience, womanhood, and rediscovering the simplicity and brilliance of God’s design.Time Stamps(00:00 Episode Teaser)(00:36 Opening Conversation)(02:33 Peta Kelly's Background and Achievements)(03:41 Growing Up in Perth)(07:43 Eldest Daughter Responsibilities)(10:19 Peta’s Journey to Success)(16:48 Balancing Motherhood and Career)(18:16 Inner Work and Self-Discovery)(24:53 More About Being The Eldest Daughter)(34:48 Parenting in the Modern World)(38:52 Navigating Emotional Challenges with Children)(41:46 Balancing Social Media and Parenting)(46:03 Health and Wellness Perspectives)(59:55 What Is Body Luxury?)(01:14:20 Truth vs. Honesty)(01:21:35 Gender Differences)(01:39:46 The Impact of Social Media)(01:45:29 Final Thoughts and Reflections)Guest Linkshttps://petakelly.com/ https://www.likehoneycomb.com/ (Substack)https://www.instagram.com/petajean_/ Peta’s podcast - Good WomenConnect with UsJoin our membership Friends of the TruthRise Above The Herd Take the Real AF Test NowDiscover Your Truth Seeker ArchetypeWatch all our episodesConnect with us on TelegramFollow us on InstagramAccess all our links

Ep 269 - Dr. Melissa Sell | The First Betrayal of the Child
In this powerful and confronting conversation, Dr. Melissa Sell returns to Here for the Truth for her eighth appearance to explore how modern medical and cultural rituals have severed us from our primal instincts, our intuition, and our innate trust in life. Through the lens of German New Medicine and the Five Biological Laws, we examine how the earliest experiences of infants—from wellness checks to ear piercings to “cry it out” sleep training—can imprint deep patterns of fear, separation, and obedience. This episode is a wake-up call to reclaim our natural intelligence, to see through the conditioning that normalizes harm, and to remember that true health begins with awareness and self-responsibility.Time Stamps(00:00) Episode Teaser(00:27) Opening Conversation(07:57) Introduction to Dr. Melissa Sell's Work(08:39) The Growth of German New Medicine(10:35) Parenting and Health Paradigms(30:27) Personal Anecdotes and Reflections(45:35) The Ritual of Water and Biological Adaptation(49:21) Historical Context of Birthing Practices(50:41) Ear Piercing and Parental Dilemmas(52:09) Cultural Practices and Instinctual Overrides(55:44) Children's Nighttime Fears and Parental Influence(01:01:28) Biological Conflicts and Hospital Visits(01:03:07) Sleep Training and Crying It Out(01:06:26) Separation Conflicts and Childhood Diseases(01:09:13) Parental Conflicts and Child Symptoms(01:12:20) Spirituality and German New Medicine(01:19:38) Germanic People and Natural Living(01:25:37) The Impact of Fathers Traveling for Work(01:29:06) The Evolution of Family Names and Roles(01:31:18) Perspectives on Evolution and Adaptation(01:38:43) Sibling Rivalries and Biological Conflicts(01:40:33) The Significance of Tongue Posture and Ties(01:45:52) The Body's Biological AdaptationsGuest Linkshttps://www.drmelissasell.com/ https://www.instagram.com/drmelissasell/ 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
