John Edmonds Kozma's Unimpressed Podcast

OFFICIAL WEBSITE: https://ashleapiefer.com/From a young age, I felt a deep connection to energies that most people can't see—the world beyond the physical realm. I perceived spirits, entities, and subtle forces that shaped our reality. It was overwhelming and isolating initially. I felt different, as though I didn't belong. I believed I was alone in these experiences, wondering if perhaps something was wrong with me. However, as I grew older, everything changed. I experienced a profound spiritual awakening that completely shifted my perspective on life. I realized that I wasn't crazy—I was tapping into dimensions and frequencies that few understood. This awakening opened me to the profound knowledge that true fulfillment doesn't come from material possessions, no matter how perfect they may appear on the surface. True fulfillment arises from within, by recognizing the value of our energy and the significance of life itself. Through this awakening, I began connecting with cosmic beings and ascended masters—the Pleiadians, Syrians, Andromedans, and the ancient Dragon Mothers—who taught me profound truths about consciousness, energy, and the divine feminine. As I continued to study ancient wisdom, neuroplasticity, and the mysteries of the universe, I came to realize that everything is interconnected. I could see how energy flows through everything, from the physical body to the unseen realms. My journey hasn't been without challenges. I've faced adversity and trauma, including the experience of homelessness at 15. But every obstacle and experience has shaped who I am today. These trials led me to a life of deep introspection and ultimately to my calling as a spiritual guide and meditation coach. Now, I dedicate my life to helping others reconnect with their true, authentic selves. Through mindfulness, meditation, ancient teachings, and spiritual guidance, I help individuals transcend limiting beliefs and harness the power of their energy. My mission is to guide you through your journey—whether you're awakening to your psychic gifts, seeking peace amidst chaos, or learning to navigate the unseen dimensions that surround us. It's not about perfection. It's about progress, remembering who you are at your core, and finding peace within. If my story resonates with you and you're seeking something more profound, know that you are not alone. I'm here, walking the path with you, ready to guide you back to your true self.

Debbie Solaris is an ET contactee, interdimensional traveler, and galactic historian. A few years ago, after a fateful extraterrestrial contact experience, Debbie awakened to her true star lineage and higher calling. Through her ancestral connection with the Akashic Records, she has been receiving downloads of galactic historical information and universal spiritual knowledge ever since. She feels it's a significant part of her mission here on Earth to help awaken others to their own true Divine selves and cosmic origins. Debbie stumbled upon the metaphysical scene "almost by accident," as she describes it, and calls herself a “real late bloomer” on the spiritual path. She had a conventional and conservative Roman Catholic upbringing in a military family where “aliens and UFOs were just never discussed,” and what mattered was the material world we inhabit. Although she had an ordinary childhood, she always felt ‘different' from the people around her, as she was much more sensitive and introspective than her family members. She spent her formative years traveling with her family throughout Europe and Australia, soaking up all of the history, art, and culture of each place they visited. "I was fortunate to have loving and progressive parents who wanted us to experience the world and everything it had to offer." After spending several years on active duty in the military, earning a Bachelor's Degree in Science, and working in the environmental field as a civilian, Debbie met her life partner, Terry, who was (and still is) a UFO enthusiast and introduced her to the world of extraterrestrials and the paranormal. “Even then, I was pretty skeptical,” she recalls. Although Terry has had a lifelong curiosity and fascination with aliens and UFOs, they didn't seem real to her, especially as a scientist and environmentalist. Debbie currently lives in Castle Rock, Colorado, with her significant other Terry. Sadly, her Sphynx cat Piglet, Debbie's registered therapy cat, loved by many fans on social media, passed away on Nov. 15, 2017 (see the "Piglet" pages on this site). Debbie now shares her home with Raisin, an older rescue kitty who is a Donskoy, a Russian hairless breed. Unlocking Humanity with Host John Edmonds Kozma Hosted on Acast.

Someone once described me as a mix of jock, science nerd, nature boy & philosopher. It makes sense, I suppose.I was a personal trainer for 25 years. I still produce video-based workouts that are used by hundreds of thousands worldwide. It's kind of crazy to think about that number. I have been lucky to find a publisher who can produce and market great products.I have a biochemistry degree and am a practitioner of naturopathic medicine. Although, my friends give me a hard time for never referring to myself as "Doctor." I always found it too formal, but I have grown past the need for accolades. Depending on who you ask, some don't consider me a physician. Given my specialty in natural medicine, I have been called everything from "quack" to "witch doctor." Believe it or not, I take that as a compliment. The choice to go into alternative medicine was conscious and deliberate.My medical specialty is naturopathic medicine, a subset of medicine. Think of your family doctor, but instead of using drugs and surgery first and knowing little to nothing about diet and exercise, I use drugs second, and I am an expert in nutrition, exercise, and supplements.My specialty is "integrative endocrinology." It's the study of hormones & metabolism. The integrative part means that I integrate both conventional and alternative methods. Most of my career has been helping the most difficult metabolic cases lose weight.I have a license in California & Washington State and can prescribe all drugs except Schedule I & II. I am not opposed to pharmaceuticals and do use them; I prefer to lean on lifestyle change and natural approaches first. I only prescribe drugs if necessary. There is a time and a place for both.I am also a psychology geek and student of philosophy (my favorites are stoicism and Taoism). I am currently working on my PhD in transpersonal and integral psychology. My area of research is focused on human connection, meaning, and fulfillment.What else can I tell you? I have more life coaching certifications than I can count, and I did extra shifts in couples counseling in school (I am fascinated by romance and read research on the topic regularly). I also went through an affair and a divorce. I betrayed (my wife) and was betrayed (by the person I fell in love with).It was the best and worst experience of my life. Have you ever had an experience where you were so hurt, disappointed, and embarrassed by your behavior that you hit rock bottom and became a new person? Yeah, that's what happened to me. This is why I write, blog, and podcast on relationships and romance.I feel I have learned and earned this expertise. I have both the intellectual knowledge and first-hand experience of loss from both sides.I am a voracious reader of anything related to self-development. My two favorite things are working out and reading. Some people like beers and ballgames, which are great, but I prefer books and barbells.Finally, I am an author. In my field of medicine, we have a principle called Docere. It means "doctor as teacher." That's what I spend most of my time doing now: teaching through writing. I write books and create online educational products on metabolism, fitness, and personal development. I teach in three distinct areas: "mind, muscle, and metabolism."

I was born in Poland, a post-communist country, and had access to things most people can only dream of. My family and I went skiing twice a year, traveled abroad, and lived in huge apartments. I took private English and Italian classes, played tennis, and danced. Even as a child, I loved performing and was often on TV and big stages.However, when my father went bankrupt, we lost our house, and my parents had to move to the countryside, leaving me and my brother behind. At 17, I was on my own, living independently and having to support myself.I moved to Milan, Italy. My life was pretty good; I worked in fashion and had a vibrant social life. But one day, I received a diagnosis: they found pathological changes in tissue during my PAP test. At 25, I learned I may have cancer, and everything changed. At work, I was told they would fire me if I had to go back to Poland for treatment.I moved to Malaysia, where I had my first relationship at 27. For the first time, I was in love. Unfortunately, things didn't last long. I struggled with intimacy issues and fell into depression, even having suicidal thoughts. I attempted to hurt myself but eventually found healing through ThetaHealing and chose to study and become a practitioner.Later, my Tantric school closed down due to allegations of rape and abuse, and I realized I had been living in a sex cult. Although I had learned Tantra and received healing, I came to understand how toxic and patriarchal the community was. I had to work on healing from the dogma and re-learn what it means to be a woman and what femininity truly is.The supposed "love of my life" turned out to be a toxic relationship. Initially, I thought I had met my soulmate. We traveled around the world and planned to have kids, but my nervous system was in constant fight-or-flight mode. He started dating a much younger woman and asked me to open the relationship. It was then that I found the strength to leave. I needed a lot of time to heal from the experience. I lost a significant amount of weight and struggled to trust men again. I was also at my lowest point financially, with just $1,000 in my bank account.After doing deep work on myself, I recovered emotionally and financially. I made more money than ever, reconnected with my dreams, and started investing in my future. I moved to Bali, started doing CrossFit, and rode bikes. I made my first investments and reintegrated the healthy masculine into my life. I felt more vital than ever and finally felt my drive was back.Following this journey, I launched The School of Intimacy, an online academy with courses on every aspect of love, relationships, and sex life.Additionally, I launched my first book: "No More Faking It," and spoke at major events worldwide. I remained 100% committed to my vision and felt unstoppable, happier, more balanced, and more supported than ever before. I finally stopped waiting for a relationship to make me happy and found ways to prioritize my happiness. I learned to create my joy and pleasure regardless of my relationship status, feeling secure and grounded. My relationship with myself was more vital than ever.

I was born as Jemma. I love Jem, and my Peruvian family calls me Jemmita because I spend half of my year in the Andes in Peru. It's an affectionate name that means 'sweet Jemma'. I have been working with the wisdom of the Andean Shamanic Path, the Cosmology of the Inca, and the pre-Inca traditions of Peru for some years now. I have extensive experience working with, facilitating, and practicing rituals and ceremonies in Australia and across the world. I spend many months of the year traveling between Peru, my homeland Australia, Bali, the UK, and Europe.I believe that ceremony is a celebration of life. Our connection to the Earth, each other, and ourselves is often missing in our modern lives. Through cultivating a respectful and grateful connection to the Universal Beings and Pacha Mama, we become more in alignment with our true nature, which is infinite love, joy, and freedom.The give-and-receive concept called 'Ayni' in the Andes guides us and helps us remember that we are powerful beings of light and masterful co-creators. When we free ourselves from anything that holds us back, we realize that we are limitless.Many of us have forgotten this, so gathering in community, ceremony, and celebration, as our ancestors and many First Nations people still do, helps us wake up and remember the truth of who we are. Then, we are unstoppable! Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/unimpressedpodcast. https://plus.acast.com/s/unimpressedpodcast. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

I was born and raised in Moscow, Russia, and moved to Canada when I was 17. I spent much of my 20s and 30s following the path I believed was expected of me: I received a degree in Psychology and Law, and I earned a Master's degree in International Law. Despite the accolades, I was unfulfilled and wondered if my life had a higher purpose. I started fearing my age, feeling like my life was wasted on unimportant stuff, and it felt like time had ‘tick-taken' away without me even noticing. Then, I was in a terrifying accident at my family's cabin outside of Moscow. A fire almost took my life, and everything changed. I can still remember breathing in amid the suffocating smoke and wondering if I was taking my last breath. I survived the fire and was left in wonderment at how little time separated me from death. It shifted my perspective, and after years of wasting time and pursuing what others expected of me, I finally started living for myself. At 42 years old, I decided to forget everything I'd learned that was considered “proper,” instead, I began living by a new rule – the “What if?” rule. I asked myself, ‘What if there's an answer to my questions on the other side of some crazy idea? What if there's happiness and satisfaction?' I taught myself to listen carefully to those risk-taking thoughts, and now I act on them. The results are always a win simply because I believe it is always better to do something, even if you fail, rather than regret not doing it.  Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/unimpressedpodcast. https://plus.acast.com/s/unimpressedpodcast.

Tom Paladino is a Christian, husband, researcher, and humanitarian who aims to bring Scalar Light healing to the world in order to improve the quantum health of humanity. He began researching Scalar Light during his undergraduate years after developing a deep admiration for Nikola Tesla, the Father of Scalar Light research and development. Starting in 1993, Tom studied research notes and operated Scalar Light instruments developed by another Scalar Light expert, Galen Hieronymus. Tom attributes much of his success today to these two brilliant Scalar Light pioneers.There are two energies in the universe: Scalar Energy and electromagnetic energy. Scalar Energy is divine energy, and the Sun, our solar system, and the stars serve as the "storehouses" for this divine light. The laws that govern Scalar Energy are distinct from the laws that govern electromagnetic energy.Tom Paladino has devoted a significant portion of his humanitarian efforts to helping Non-Government Organizations (NGOs) with outreach programs. NGOs are made up of action-based program developers and a community of like-minded people committed to making sustainable, humanitarian-oriented impacts all over the world.

As a 22-year-old, Nadine never could have understood what she was committing to when marrying Jordan Belfort, the fraudulent stockbroker infamously known as "The Wolf of Wall Street."Their eight-year marriage began as a fairytale, filled with romantic dinners, expensive gifts, and lavish parties. But once they were bonded, Jordan's ‘mask' began to slip, and acts of infidelity, narcissistic abuse, insatiable greed, and uncontrollable drug addiction became Nadine's living nightmare. Nadine naively believed that their connection was real and that her love could save him, so she remained trauma-bonded until the pain of their relationship became too much to bear. It would be decades before she realized her story resembled thousands of other women's relational experiences.At 30, Nadine packed up her kids and her curtains and left Jordan, relocating to Los Angeles, California.She began a transformative process of intensive therapy and deep self-reflection, which required facing her pain, admitting and owning her mistakes, and reconnecting with the authentic self she'd lost due to Jordan's abuse. Through her healing, a passion for helping others was born. She returned to school at 39 to become a psychotherapist and, ten years later, graduated with a PhD in Counseling and Somatic Psychology.Dr. Nae's private practice quickly flooded with women recounting an all-too-familiar story of abuse with a pathological partner.Her goal of helping people develop healthy relationships took on a life of its own as she realized that trauma bonds were increasingly prevalent and destroying the lives of hundreds of women. Nadine embarked on a twelve-year journey of learning about domestic violence. She combined her academic background with her experience and that of her patients, eventually leading her to become an industry expert in narcissistic abuse, trauma bonds, and complex PTSD.

Williamson is also charged with possession of a weapon during a violent crime. It was not known if he has an attorney yet. Williamson told dispatchers that he and Vernon had been getting along all night until Vernon hit him in the jaw. Williamson said Vernon continued to hit him, so he shot him. Five years later, the case was dropped. Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/unimpressedpodcast. https://plus.acast.com/s/unimpressedpodcast. Hosted on Acast.

Experience the world of private contractors conducting high-threat missions for a nascent Iraqi government in the hopes of rebuilding after the fall of Saddam Hussein. With limited support, the men of Blackwater protected US diplomats as the country descended into sectarian violence. It was a hazardous mission complete with rockets, mortars, improvised explosive devices, and not knowing who or where the enemy was.Morgan Lerette's irreverently honest memoir shows the good and bad of injecting private armies into active combat zones in the name of diplomacy and digs deep into the bonds of brotherhood created by war. With gut-wrenching tragedy, dark humor, and parties that make Animal House seem like a Disney film, this memoir offers a firsthand perspective on how men act and react in war.Lerette, a private contractor employed by the notorious Blackwater in the early days of the Iraq War, pulls no punches in calling out the incompetence of both the US military and the Department of State during the collapse of Iraq. You can decide if the insertion of private contractors in Iraq assisted or detracted from the war effort and if the costs in blood and treasure were worth the carnage.
