Will & Karen | Hosts of The Skeptic Metaphysicians - Awakening Seekers of Spiritual Growth & Expanded Consciousness

The Skeptic Metaphysicians is a smart, funny take on consciousness and spiritual awakening for curious minds who want reassurance, not dogma...and a pragmatic way into the unknown.

Join Will and Karen, hosts of The Skeptic Metaphysicians, as they dive into spiritual awakening, ascension, expanded consciousness, and metaphysical mysteries with humor and humanity.

Born from an existential breakdown (yep, the spiritual kind), the show dives headfirst into the wild world of spiritual awakenings, energy work, consciousness expansion, soul growth, near-death experiences, psychic phenomena, manifestation, mysticism, inner work, and the quantum mysteries that connect us all.

Each week, Will brings the wide-eyed curiosity of a seeker reawakened to his soul purpose, while Karen balances the vibe with grounded intuition, mindfulness, thoughtful insights, and just the right amount of side-eye. Together, they create a safe space for exploring spirituality, alignment with your higher self, and the deeper dimensions of wellness without losing your grip on the real.

Whether you're a full-on spiritual explorer navigating your soul journey or just metaphysical-curious about raising your vibration, this show is your backstage pass to conversations with:
 • Mediums & mystics
 • Spiritual awakening coaches
 • Scientists of consciousness and quantum healing
 • Energy healers, channelers & ascension guides
 • And everyday people with extraordinary stories of transformation
Why listeners love it:
It's smart, soulful, funny, and deeply validating. Like having a chat with your most spiritually woke friend who gets both the profound and the practical sides of soul growth… and still knows how to laugh at themselves.
⸻
It's not about blind belief. It's about brave exploration of consciousness, inner work, and remembering your connection to the quantum field of infinite possibilities. Tune in. Wake up. Align with your highest self. And maybe...just maybe...remember who you really are.

New episodes every Wednesday and bonus episodes throughout the week!

The Skeptic Metaphysicians - Metaphysics, Spiritual Awakenings and Expanded Consciousness

You've done the work. Meditated, journaled, shadow-worked your way through half a bookshelf. So why does the same frustration, the same anger, the same stuck feeling keep showing back up? Turns out, it's not a willpower problem. It's a filing system problem.

Episode Overview 
Blaise Kennedy is a consciousness guide and teacher who got here the hard way. At 24, he hit a wall in drug addiction treatment and did something most people wouldn't: instead of just getting better and moving on, he got relentlessly curious about why standard answers weren't working. What emerged isn't philosophy. It's a practical, embodied framework that weaves together consciousness, nervous system science, trauma integration, and relational healing.

In this conversation, Karen, Will and Blaise go deep on why your insight isn't translating into lived change, and what it actually takes to get it to stick.

What You'll Discover in This Episode
 • Why your body has been storing unresolved experiences you thought you'd already dealt with. and why "thinking through" emotions isn't the same as processing them
 • The vertical dimension of presence most people have never been taught, and how reconnecting to it changes everything
 • Why feeling your frustration more (not solving it) is often the actual path forward
 • The surprising reason isolation almost always slows your growth down, and what the Olympics have to do with spiritual development
 • How somatic therapy and Eastern meditation are on a collision course, and why that's actually great news for your healing
 • Why Blaise believes we're in the middle of a collective awakening that's making breakthroughs more accessible than ever before
The Big Idea 
Blaise makes a compelling case that most of us aren't stuck because we're broken or unready. We're stuck because we've been trying to clean out the office without ever opening the drawers. The body stores what the mind skips over, and until your consciousness and your nervous system are working as one unified system, insight just floats.

Listen, Then Reflect 
If you've ever felt spiritually fluent but personally stuck, this episode is the explanation you've been looking for. Give it a listen, then ask yourself: what might be in the drawers you haven't opened yet?

Spiritual Awakening Is Stalling Because Your Body Keeps Score

Welcome to Classic Skeptic Metaphysicians! We're re-releasing some of our back catalog so that these gems can be re-discovered!

This week:

What happens to your consciousness when your brain shuts down completely? That's not a philosophical question for Dr. Eben Alexander. it's a medical one. And his answer, backed by peer-reviewed case reports and 25 years as a Harvard-trained neurosurgeon, might be the most scientifically credible challenge to materialist thinking you'll encounter.

Episode Overview
In 2008, Dr. Eben Alexander fell into a week-long coma caused by a rare bacterial meningitis so severe that three separate physicians documented his case in the Journal of Nervous and Mental Diseases. His survival alone was medically unprecedented. What he experienced during that coma, and what he remembered with vivid, crystalline clarity afterward, became the foundation of Proof of Heaven, a #1 New York Times bestseller that has since been translated into over 30 languages. This isn't a conversation about belief. It's a conversation about evidence, and what happens when a world-class neuroscientist can no longer explain away his own experience.

Key Insights • Why Dr. Alexander's specific type of brain injury makes his NDE uniquely significant to the scientific community, not just the spiritual one
 • The three distinct realms he traveled through and why each one maps to what researchers have documented across thousands of NDE accounts worldwide
 • What a "life review" actually is. and why it may be the most important concept you've never fully thought through
 • The peer-reviewed scientific resources (including a free essay archive) that challenge the "dying brain hallucination" explanation head-on
 • How he has spent the 15 years since his coma exploring consciousness through meditation, binaural beats, and collaboration with scientists and physicists globally
 • Why 2,700+ documented cases of children's past-life memories at the University of Virginia may be the most overlooked data in consciousness research
 • The connection between near-death experiences, quantum physics, and why materialism is losing scientific ground faster than most people realize
This Episode Is For You If... 
You've dismissed NDEs as brain chemistry but found yourself weirdly curious. You want to explore consciousness and the afterlife without surrendering your critical thinking at the door. Or you just read Proof of Heaven and need to talk to someone about it.

Want to Go Deeper?
Listen to the full conversation, then visit skepticmetaphysician.com for links to Dr. Alexander's books, the Bigelow Institute essay archive, Sacred Acoustics, and the University of Virginia research he references. If this episode sparked something for you, share it. someone in your life probably needs to hear it.

Classic - Proof of Heaven: Life After Death Revealed

What if the reason your life feels like someone else's rough draft is because, technically, it is? According to today's guest, 95% of the thoughts running your subconscious right now were written by people who no longer have any business running your life. And the universe? It's been listening to every word.

Episode Overview 
Will and Karen sit down with Brenda Lee Mattausch, a consciousness guide and modern spirituality educator who has spent years helping people identify, question, and dismantle the inherited belief systems quietly running their lives on autopilot. This isn't a conversation about manifesting parking spots (well, not only that). It's a grounded, surprisingly funny deep-dive into why most of us are unconsciously co-authoring a reality we didn't actually choose. Brenda brings a no-dogma, test-it-yourself approach to consciousness, energy, and what it actually means to rewrite your script, starting with the words coming out of your mouth right now.

If you've ever suspected that the voice in your head sounds suspiciously like your third-grade teacher or your mother-in-law, this one's for you.

Key Takeaways
 • The 95% problem. Most of what's driving your decisions, relationships, and reactions isn't yours. Brenda explains where those inherited programs come from, and why your brain can't tell the difference between a belief that belongs to you and one that was handed down like a broken piece of furniture.
 • Why the quantum field isn't ignoring you. It's not sending messages. It's responding to yours. Brenda breaks down the crucial distinction, and why what you say you don't want might be exactly what you keep getting.
 • The world as a mirror. A deceptively practical framework for understanding why the toxic, frustrating, infuriating people in your life are showing you something about yourself. No, it's not your fault. But yes, there's something useful there.
 • Observe, don't absorb. Brenda's single most actionable piece of advice for anyone feeling overwhelmed by the noise of the world. Simple to say. Worth the work to actually practice.
 • Heart-mind coherence. What it is, what it feels like in your body (spoiler: Will thinks he may have already experienced it, although Brenda gently suggests it might have been acid reflux), and why it's the marker that tells you the rewiring is actually working.
 • How to start, without overhauling your entire life on a Tuesday. The one-thing method for people who want real results without the spiritual overwhelm.
About Brenda Lee Mattausch 
Brenda is a consciousness educator and guide whose own journey began when she started questioning a 49-year-old belief system she had inherited and never examined. She works at the intersection of modern spirituality, subconscious reprogramming, and energetic self-awareness. Her approach is refreshingly practical: test it, prove it to yourself, and leave the dogma at the door.

Join the Conversation 
Does any of this land for you...or does it sound like elevated positive thinking with better branding? That's exactly the tension Will and Karen press on in this episode, and Brenda's answer is worth hearing.

Listen in, sit with it, and if something shifts, we'd genuinely love to hear about it. Drop a comment, leave a review, or share this episode with someone who's been feeling like a background character in their own story.

And if the parking lot thing works for you? Graduate past it. Brenda says so.

The Skeptic Metaphysicians explores spiritual awakening, consciousness, metaphysics, and modern spirituality for people who ask real questions. No gurus. No dogma. Just open-minded curiosity and the occasional existential crisis...handled with humor.

95% of Your Beliefs Are Blocking Your Spiritual Awakening

From Monk Life to Eco-Village: Rethinking What Spiritual Living Really Looks Like

You're doing the journaling, the breathwork, maybe even the meditation...and something still feels like it's missing. Not because you're doing it wrong, but because no one ever taught you why the energy you're working with matters, or how to stop giving it away. This episode is for the person who is spiritually curious but over the cosmic chaos, and ready for something that actually sticks. 

Episode Overview
Gayle Thomas is back, and this time, she's traded the big-stage channeling sessions for something arguably more useful: practical tools for building what she calls energetic sovereignty. As a trained channeler, healer, and international facilitator, Gayle has spent years working in expanded states of consciousness. But her work has evolved. Now she's focused on helping real people, including the next generation, develop the inner capacity to stay connected without losing their footing in everyday life.

In this conversation, Will and Karen go deep with Gayle on why your attention is your most valuable asset, what Christ consciousness actually feels like versus what it sounds like, and why learning to manage your energy field might be the most practical self-development move you've never been taught.

What grounds all of it: Gayle's own story. A cancer diagnosis. A meditation practice built out of necessity. A profound experience she still struggles to put into words. She's not teaching from theory. She's teaching from the other side of a very hard road.

Key Takeaways
 • Your gut instinct is doing something real, and there's a specific reason modern life is wired to override it. Gayle explains what's actually happening, and why even how we raise kids plays into this.
 • Christ consciousness isn't what most people think, and it has nothing to do with religion. Gayle describes it as a feeling of coherence, and she unpacks why that distinction changes everything about how you pursue it.
 • Your aura isn't mystical decoration, it behaves. Gayle breaks down the difference between a strong, boundaried energy field and a "spongy" one — and why the latter explains a lot about chronic fatigue, emotional overwhelm, and saying yes when you mean no.
 • Trying too hard is the block, for anyone who's attempted meditation, breathwork, or spiritual practice and felt like they were the one person it wasn't working for, Gayle offers a surprisingly logical explanation...and a workaround.
 • Gen Z might be in trouble, and Gen X might be the fix. Gayle shares what she's observing in younger generations around connection, bliss, and attention, and why she's now training adults to bring these skills directly into schools and youth spaces.
 • There's a specific first step into Christ consciousness, and it starts somewhere much simpler than you'd expect (hint: it's not a retreat or a ceremony).
Who Needs to Hear This
If you've ever walked out of a party feeling inexplicably drained, said yes to something your body was screaming no to, or had one fleeting moment of genuine stillness and spent the next three years trying to get back to it...this conversation was made for you.

Gayle doesn't ask you to believe anything. She asks you to get curious about your own experience first, and build from there. That's a rare posture in a space that tends to demand faith upfront.

Especially relevant if you're raising kids right now and quietly wondering how to give them something the algorithm can't.

Listen, Then Do One Thing
Press play. When something lands — and something will — write it down before you move on to the next episode. This is the kind of conversation that reveals itself in layers, and the insight that feels small in the moment is often the one that changes something weeks later. If you missed Gayle's first episode, where she walks through her cancer diagnosis, her TARP channeling experience, and the moment that changed everything, you can catch up here:

Christ Consciousness: Train Your Mind for Awakening

Welcome to Classic Skeptic Metaphysicians! We're re-releasing some of our back catalog so that these gems can be re-discovered!

This week: Should We Fear Death? An Honest Conversation with Hospice Nurse Julie McFadden

Death. It’s the one certainty we all share...and the one topic most of us avoid like the plague. For years, Will openly admits his biggest fear was dying. Not just the process… but the terrifying possibility of nothingness afterward. And even after years of exploring consciousness, spirituality, and Near-Death Experiences on this show, that old panic still sneaks in from time to time.
 
So this week, we go straight to the source. 

We sit down with Hospice Nurse Julie McFadden, a former ICU nurse turned hospice advocate who has witnessed hundreds of deaths, and calls the experience not tragic… but beautiful. 

Yes. Beautiful.
 
Julie pulls back the curtain on what really happens as the body shuts down, what families often misunderstand about the dying process, and why so many people report seeing deceased loved ones in the final weeks of life.
 
We cover:
 • What actually happens to the body in the final months, weeks, and hours
 • Why dying does not automatically mean suffering
 • The science behind decreased appetite, increased sleep, and metabolic shifts
 • What “visioning” is, and why it happens to so many people
 • Whether atheists experience end-of-life visions too
 • The truth behind the “6 ounces of the soul” myth
 • What it feels like to be in the room when someone takes their final breath
 • Why education about death reduces fear
 • And the ultimate question: 
Is there life after death?Julie speaks candidly about the mysterious, metaphysical phenomena she’s witnessed, and the sacred stillness that seems to fill a room when someone transitions. 

This conversation may not give you absolute certainty about what lies beyond… But it may radically change how you think about the journey getting there. 

If you’ve ever feared the process of dying… If you’ve ever sat beside a loved one and wondered if they were suffering… Or if you’re simply curious about what really happens when we take our last breath… This episode might bring you more peace than you expect.

Why This Episode Matters 
We spend so much time preparing for life. Almost none preparing for death. And yet, according to someone who sees it daily, the body knows exactly what to do. The real fear may not be death itself…But our misunderstanding of it. 

Listen in. You may walk away feeling lighter.

Should We Fear Death? An Honest Conversation with Hospice Nurse Julie McFadden

Is civilization collapsing… or evolving? 

If you’ve ever looked at the news and thought, “This can’t be progress… can it?” ...you’re not alone. War, division, climate crisis, institutional breakdown... it can feel less like spiritual awakening and more like collective unraveling. So what if this chaos isn’t the end… but a transition?

Episode Overview 
In this episode of The Skeptic Metaphysicians, we sit down with Dick Larson, retired counselor, longtime student of the Ageless Wisdom teachings, and volunteer with Share International, to explore one of the most controversial and hopeful metaphysical frameworks we’ve ever discussed. 

Dick introduces the idea that humanity is moving from the Age of Pisces into Aquarius, a shift in consciousness that may explain why everything feels unstable right now. He shares the perspective that a World Teacher known as Maitreya, along with the Masters of Wisdom, are returning to guide humanity through this transition.
 
No pressure to believe. In fact, Dick explicitly says not to. Just listen. Let it sit. And see what resonates.
 
If you’re spiritually curious but allergic to dogma… this one’s going to stretch you.
 
Key Insights
 • Why breakdown might actually be a phase in human 
consciousness evolution • The Age of Aquarius explained through astronomy, not horoscope memes
 • What “Masters of Wisdom” actually means (and why Dick insists they’re not gurus)
 • How 
cause and effect (karma) • and reincarnation fit into modern spirituality
 • Why cooperation may be the defining energy of the next 2,000 years
 • The practical priorities Dick says matter most right now: food, housing, healthcare, education, environment
 • A framework for hope that doesn’t require abandoning critical thinking
We also explore:
 • Telepathy vs. channeling (yes, we went there)
 • The climate crisis from a metaphysical perspective
 • Whether humanity is truly alone in its evolutionary journey
Why This Matters 
Whether you believe in Maitreya or not, the deeper question is this: 
Are we witnessing collapse...or the painful birth of something new? 

For skeptics navigating modern spirituality, this conversation offers context. For seekers exploring metaphysics and spiritual awakening, it offers structure. And for everyone else? It offers a possibility that hope isn’t naïve, it’s strategic.

Listen & Reflect 
You don’t have to agree. You don’t have to convert. Just ask yourself: 
If humanity is in transition… what role might you play in it? 

Tune in, think it through, and let us know what lands.

Maitreya: Ascension & the Future of Human Consciousness

You've been meditating. You've been clearing your mind. And nothing's happening. What if the problem isn't that you're doing it wrong, it's that you're doing exactly what prevents connection from occurring? A former Navy Commander turned evidence-based medium and spiritual leader explains why emptiness isn't always the goal, and what one simple reframe could change about your entire spiritual practice.

Episode Overview 
Suzanne Giesemann doesn't fit the spiritual teacher mold, and that's precisely why her work matters. As a former US Navy Commander who served as aide to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, she brought military-grade discipline to a grief-fueled quest for connection after losing her stepdaughter to a lightning strike.

The result? Undeniable evidence of consciousness beyond death, and a grounded, replicable approach to mediumship that anyone can learn.

This conversation isn't about belief. It's about what happens when you stop trying so hard to quiet your mind and start getting curious about what wants to fill the space.

What You'll Discover
 • The counterintuitive meditation instruction that shifts you from "trying to be empty" to "inviting connection", and why this distinction changes everything for frustrated meditators
 • Why discipline beats mysticism when it comes to developing intuition, and how Suzanne's military training accidentally prepared her for mediumship
 • The "Hara test" for knowing whether you're receiving guidance or just making things up (hint: it's not in your head or your heart)
 • What actually happens when you ask for proof and the universe delivers, including a story about coffee creamer that'll make you rethink coincidence
 • The real reason people don't connect with their loved ones across the veil (it's not lack of ability, it's a misunderstanding about what meditation is for)
 • How to handle fear when opening yourself spiritually, including Suzanne's encounter with "creatures with talons" and the one response that dissolved them instantly
 • A 3-minute daily practice (the "Sip of the Divine") that requires zero spiritual background and works even if you "can't meditate"
Why This Conversation Is Different 
Most spiritual teachers will tell you to sit, breathe, and wait. Suzanne tells you to sit, breathe, and invite. She doesn't peddle certainty or demand faith, she offers systems, evidence, and the kind of pragmatic wisdom that comes from spending 20 years in uniform before spending 15+ years bridging worlds.

If you've been spinning your wheels trying to "get it right," this episode offers permission to stop performing emptiness and start experiencing connection.

You're Not Gullible...You're Curious 
There's no woo-woo bypass here. Suzanne's path began with skepticism, required proof at every turn, and continues to demand evidence. If you're the kind of person who wants spiritual awakening without abandoning logic, this conversation will feel like relief. Questioning isn't a problem. It's how you know you're paying attention.

Listen Now 
Ready to stop clearing the room when someone's about to knock? This episode offers a different instruction manual, one that trusts your capacity for connection and respects your need for proof.

Meditation Secrets for Spiritual Awakening (Navy Commander)

Everyone in the spiritual space suddenly has predictions about 2026; apocalyptic warnings, transformative awakening, intense upheaval. But here's the problem: when we outsource our discernment to future-focused prophecies, we drain our power in the present. This episode asks a radically different question: not what's coming, but how do we engage with predictions without letting them hijack our nervous systems?

Instead of adding to the noise of 2026 predictions, hosts Will and Karen bring together three former guests with distinctly different perspectives: Karen Cheong (Spherical Luminosity), who works with quantum fields and embodied resonance; Gabrielle Celeste (Agua Astrology), who unpacks astrology as pattern recognition rather than destiny; and Rachel White (Totem Readings/The Skeptical Shaman), who challenges fear-based narratives while honoring mystical experience. The result? A grounded, occasionally playful conversation about staying centered when the future feels uncertain, and why your resonance might matter more than any prediction.

Key Insights & Takeaways:
 • Predictions read probability, not certainty. The quantum field operates in wave potential; nothing is fixed until focused attention and resonance collapse it into form. What looks inevitable can shift based on individual and collective energy.
 • Fear-mongering serves a purpose (and it's not yours). "Solution selling" creates urgency, pokes at pain, then offers rescue. When predictions drop your nervous system into fight-or-flight, ask: is this informing me or disempowering me?
 • Your resonance creates ripple effects. One person raising their energetic frequency doesn't just change their own experience, it impacts the field. Think of it as refusing to feed the parasites (energetic or metaphorical) that thrive on low-vibration states.
 • Apocalypse means "revealing," not "ending." The Greek etymology points to information disclosure, not destruction. We may be in the middle of a great revealing...uncomfortable, yes, but potentially liberating.
 • Play and presence are radical acts. Getting stuck in future-focused anxiety pulls you out of the now. Embodying joy, curiosity, and play, especially during chaos, is both a nervous system regulation tool and a form of spiritual defiance.
 • Authority stays with you, always. Whether it's astrology, tarot, or intuitive readings, useful guidance invites you to reflect, not dictate your reality. If something leaves you feeling powerless rather than informed, set it aside.
Why This Conversation Is Different: 
This isn't doom-scrolling disguised as spiritual discourse. There's no guru worship, no forced optimism, and no insistence that you "just raise your vibration" while ignoring systemic suffering. Instead, it's a nuanced look at how intelligent, curious people can hold multiple truths: yes, things are intense; yes, darkness is being revealed; and yes, you still have agency over your internal state and the reality you co-create.

The guests respectfully disagree at points, and that's the strength of this roundtable.

Listener Reassurance: 
If you've been feeling disoriented by competing spiritual narratives or guilty for not being "positive enough," this episode gives you permission to feel whatever's real for you, and then decide what to do with it. Curiosity doesn't make you gullible. Discernment doesn't make you closed-minded. And choosing your resonance over someone else's fear isn't bypassing...it's survival.

Call to Action: 
Listen when you're ready to reclaim your center. Reflect on which predictions you've been internalizing and whether they're serving you. And if you find this conversation useful, share it with someone navigating their own spiritual awakening without a roadmap, because grounded guidance matters more than ever.

Choosing Resonance Over Fear: A 2026 Roundtable on Predictions, Discernment & Free Will

You've done the vision boards. You've raised your vibration. You manifested the thing, and two weeks later, reality snapped back like you never tried at all. This episode isn't about trying harder or finding another modality. It's about why change doesn't stick, and what happens when you address the patterns operating underneath your conscious efforts.

Karen Cheong, who went from high-powered real estate to mapping distortion patterns at the blueprint level, explains why most spiritual work treats symptoms instead of source code, and what actually reorganizes reality.

What You'll Learn
 • Why manifestations feel temporary: The difference between managing your energy and changing the frequency pattern that generates your default outcomes
 • Blueprint-level distortion patterns: How unconscious templates (formed before language, logic, or conscious memory) quietly override your intentions and keep timelines "sticky"
 • Timeline jumping without the woo: A practical explanation of why reality keeps resetting to familiar outcomes, and how shifting resonance at the quantum level makes the physical reorganize around you
 • The real reason "trying harder" backfires: Why effort-based spirituality often reinforces the distortion you're trying to escape, and what works instead
 • Consciousness, frequency, and the water analogy: A grounded framework for understanding vibration, density, and why changing things "upstream" collapses struggle downstream
Why This Conversation Is Different 
Karen doesn't position herself as a guru or sell enlightenment as the finish line. She's direct about what doesn't work (bypassing, spiritual perfection, waiting for external fixes) and transparent about what does: addressing the actual frequency distortions that keep you looping. No fluff. No unverifiable claims. No suggestion that curiosity equals gullibility.

This is a conversation for people who've noticed the pattern...the same issue in a new costume...and are ready to stop editing the symptoms.

You're Not Crazy (And Questioning Is Welcome) 
If you've wondered why your spiritual practice feels like pushing a boulder uphill, or why breakthroughs don't seem to compound, this episode offers context without asking you to believe anything. Karen speaks to the intelligent skeptic: someone open to metaphysics but allergic to dogma, someone who wants practical understanding over mystical performance.

Spiritual awakening isn't about transcending your humanness. It's about editing the unconscious distortions so your conscious efforts actually land.
