Why does meditation feel so hard, even when you're doing everything "right"? On this episode of The Skeptic Metaphysicians, Will Rodriguez and Karen Endsley sit down with Peter Russell, Cambridge-trained physicist, consciousness teacher, and author of How to Meditate Without Even Trying, to unpack the one shift that changes everything: effort itself is the obstacle.Peter spent over 50 years teaching meditation and consciousness studies, and in this conversation he breaks down why the "monkey mind" isn't a personal failure, it's a natural brain function, and why trying to control your thoughts is exactly what keeps you stuck. Will and Karen dig into the practical side of effortless meditation, how to return to presence instead of forcing it, what to do when boredom or drowsiness hits, and why letting go of expectations (yes, even the goal of enlightenment) is the fastest way to actually reach a quieter mind.The conversation also moves into deeper territory: the science of what meditation does to your brain (alpha and delta rhythms, the default mode network, the stress response), and the big question Peter's spent a lifetime circling as both a physicist and a meditator, who is the "I" behind all of our thoughts?In this episode:Why trying to control your thoughts makes meditation harder, not easierThe difference between staying present and returning to presenceWhat the "monkey mind" is actually doing, and why it's not the enemyHow self-created discontent and imagined disasters drive daily stressThe neuroscience of meditation: alpha waves, the default mode network, and the relaxation responseQuantum physics, consciousness, and the question "who am I really?"Simple ways to build a mini-meditation practice into everyday lifeAbout our guest:Peter Russell holds degrees in theoretical physics, psychology, and computer science from the University of Cambridge. He studied meditation and Eastern philosophy in India and has spent five decades teaching mindfulness and consciousness studies. He is the author of twelve books, including How to Meditate Without Even Trying (foreword by Eckhart Tolle), From Science to God, and Letting Go of Nothing.The Skeptic Metaphysicians is a top-ranked spirituality podcast hosted by Will Rodriguez and Karen Endsley, exploring consciousness, spiritual awakening, and metaphysics through a skeptic's lens.

If you’ve ever doubted whether you still had the “music in you,” to take a bold leap at midlife, this conversation with Edi Matsumoto offers proof that reinvention is possible. After 30 years as a nurse practitioner and disallusioned by the health care system, Edi traded in her stethoscope for a paintbrush. We talk about the moment she realized her calling had shifted, the leap of faith that led her to open her own gallery in California, and how a whimsical concept called “Otter Therapy” became a genuine source of joy and healing for thousands of people. In this episode, you'll discover: Why burnout and disillusionment can be the universe’s way of pointing you toward your next chapter, not a sign that you’ve failed. How Edi found her niche by paying attention to what people genuinely responded to, not just what she thought she “should” be painting. Why the Japanese concept of ikigai offers a simple framework for midlife reinvention. How community, like Edi’s monthly “Carmel Bohemian Club” gathering, became essential fuel for staying the course when self-doubt crept in. About My Guest Edi Matsumoto spent nearly 30 years as a nurse practitioner before leaving healthcare in 2021 to become a full-time artist. She’s the creator of “Otter Therapy,” a series of whimsical fine art pieces that reimagine beloved paintings and portraits with sea otters. She’s also the owner of own gallery in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California. Edi is the author of “Otter Therapy” and hosts a monthly community gathering for local artists called the Carmel Bohemian Club.

Karen Bass Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass is locked in a competitive re-election race. She joins us live to discuss her campaign and the backlash she is facing over a donation-matching program. Karmelo Anthony's trial attorney testifies on the second day of the motion for a new trial.

Spiritually exhausted? Therapist Faith Freed reveals why your spiritual practice might be the problem, and how to build one that actually fits your real life. What if the reason your spiritual life feels like a second job is because you've been following someone else's job description? In this episode of The Skeptic Metaphysicians, Will and Karen sit down with Faith Freed, licensed psychotherapist, spiritual guide, and author of DIY Spirituality: Chart Your Own Sacred Path, to explore one of the most overlooked causes of spiritual burnout: doing it wrong for you, not doing it wrong in general. Faith spent nearly two decades in clinical practice, trained at the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology in Palo Alto, and has seen firsthand what happens when people treat their spiritual growth like a performance review. Spoiler: it doesn't end in enlightenment. It ends in a meditation cushion being used as a footrest. What you'll hear in this episode: Will opens up about something he's never discussed on the show before. after years of daily meditation, breathwork, sound baths, energy healings, and spiritual retreats, he still doesn't feel "further forward." Faith's response reframes the entire conversation: the goal was never a destination. It was always just a practice of touching in. Faith introduces her Divine Disco Ball framework, a four-part map of spiritual connection built around body and mind, soul and spirit, infinite source, and the natural world. The framework isn't diagnostic or prescriptive. it's a navigation tool. When one quadrant feels heavy or overworked, you simply rotate to another. Will also has a live breakthrough moment on air. connecting a spontaneous mystical experience he had years ago in the Atlanta airport to a pattern Faith identifies in real time: being alone in a crowd might actually be his spiritual sweet spot. It's one of those genuine, unscripted moments that makes this episode worth the full listen. Key topics covered:Why spiritual exhaustion is more common than spiritual failure, and how to tell the differenceThe "spiritual playlist" concept. keeping what lights you up, releasing what you force out of obligationWhy micro-rituals (as short as 60 seconds) can be more sustainable than elaborate daily practicesThe difference between spiritual presence and spiritual distraction, and how your intuition already knows which is whichWhat "authentic spirituality" actually means when the word has been flattened by wellness cultureHow a phone fast, a solo trip to an amusement park, or simply watching rain can be a legitimate spiritual practiceWhy Faith believes you don't have to do anything at all. and why that's both liberating and surprisingly hardAbout Faith Freed: Faith Freed is a licensed psychotherapist, spiritual guide, and the founder of Freed-Om. She holds a master's degree in clinical psychology from the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology and has nearly two decades of clinical experience. Her newest book, DIY Spirituality: Chart Your Own Sacred Path (Collective Book Studio, 2026), offers an illustrated, accessible guide to building a personal spiritual practice outside of rigid religious or wellness frameworks.

A Black Democratic congressional candidate is the targeted in a smear campaign that falsely alerted people by text message that he can't give blood because he is HIV positive.Shevrin Jones, Florida's first out LGBTQ+ Black senator, is here to set the record straight. A former professional basketball player is running to become South Carolina's first Black governor. Dr. Jermaine Johnson will explain why he's the best man for the job. The Trump administration is bragging and taking the credit for violent crime going down, but those crimes have been declining since 2022 - when he wasn't in office. We'll talk to the Senior Director for Public Safety from the Center for American Progress about the numbers. Attorney General Todd Blanche is considering seeking the Supreme Court's intervention to compel states to hand over voter rolls. California prosecutors told jurors Tupac Shakur's 1996 killing was 'an act of revenge' during today's opening statements. The defense says time, corruption, and a lack of facts will be challenges in the case. Saturday, the National Association of Black Journalists gave out its Thumb Down Award, including one to Stephen A. Smith. It's time for a little history lesson.

At Spirit Fest in Virginia Beach, Will and Karen "sit down" with Doron Shalev, a chemistry professor, crystallographer, and self-described skeptic who found his way into energy healing through an unlikely source: a stack of pandemic reading that started with crystal science and ended with a Reiki master teacher certification. Doron makes the scientific case for "woo," walking through the statistical thresholds researchers use to validate findings like the Higgs boson, and why many energy-healing studies actually clear a higher bar of statistical significance than science is willing to credit. The conversation turns personal when Doron describes healing his own arthritis through distance Reiki, a technique he says works better on himself than hands-on healing ever did. He also shares his shift from traditional Reiki symbols to Kabbalistic healing, using one of the 72 names of God in place of the Cho Ku Rei symbol, and describes how he reads chakra energy to figure out whether what he's sensing is emotional or physical. It's a rare conversation between a scientist and two skeptics-turned-believers, all circling the same question: what happens when the data starts pointing somewhere science hasn't caught up to yet.

Working harder was never your plan. It just became the habit. If you’re a heart-centered woman over 50 running your own business, you know the drill: do it all yourself and keep pushing until it gets done. But that hustle, hyper-vigilent, worker-bee mentality is detrimental to your health and the health of your business. This week, I’m showing you why constant pushing blocks your intuition and caps your company’s growth. And I’ll share two simple practices to help you lead your business with purpose, instead of hustle. This episode speaks to the exhaustion of being a solopreneur, the guilt of stepping back, and the deeper question so many women in midlife ask in this season: Is this business still serving me? I share how the first pillar of my L.O.V.E. Method, Let Go and Let God, opens the door to a different way of leading. And you’ll experience a light language transmission designed to help release the enrgetic blocks keeping you in control mode. In this episode, you'll discover: Why pushing harder in your business is the strategic bottleneck that keeps you working in your business instead of ON it A simple daily practice for reclaiming the power of the pause, even if it’s just 3 minutes Why it’s prudent to ask, “What is the most aligned move I can take now?” instead of chasing the most urgent one How the first pillar of the L.O.V.E. Method opens the door to receiving new levels of abundance.

Most of us have tried to fix our relationship with money from the neck up. We've done the affirmations. We've read the books. We've tried to think differently, speak differently, believe differently. And yet the fear is still there. The guilt is still there. That low-level shame that shows up every time we look at our bank account, still there. What if the problem isn't your mindset at all? In this episode of The Skeptic Metaphysicians, Will and Karen sit down with Sarah McCrum, author of “Love Money. Money Loves You”, and one of the most grounded and genuinely surprising voices in the money consciousness space. Sarah isn't coming at this from a law of attraction angle, and she's not selling a manifestation formula. She's a Cambridge graduate and former BBC journalist who arrived at this work through personal loss, a business collapse, and one very strange afternoon where her pen started writing things she says she didn't come up with herself. What came through that pen became a book. And that book has quietly transformed the financial lives of more than twenty thousand business owners, investors, and families around the world. What Sarah discovered, and what this conversation unpacks in real time, is that money isn't a neutral force we can manipulate with the right thoughts. It's an energy. A powerful one. And like any relationship, the energy you bring to it determines what you get back. If you've ever caught yourself saying "I can't afford that," "people like me don't make that kind of money," or "I want more money but something about having it feels wrong," this episode is going to hit differently. Because according to Sarah, those aren't just thoughts. They're commands. And something in the fabric of how abundance moves through the world is listening. In this episode:What money consciousness actually means, and why it's fundamentally different from positive thinking or the law of attraction.Why trying to fix your money blocks at the mindset level is working against yourself, and what to work on instead.The automatic writing experience that changed Sarah's life at her lowest financial moment, and the first message she received: "I would like to tell you to love me."How your relationship with money mirrors every other relationship you have, including the unhealthy patterns.Why judging people who have money may be one of the most overlooked abundance blocks of all.The surprising connection between Chinese energy principles, acupuncture, and financial healing.What Sarah calls the three core instructions from money itself: relax, enjoy, love.Why the desire for prosperity isn't shallow or materialistic. It may be one of the deepest soul desires we carry.Enjoyed this episode? Leave us a five-star review on Apple Podcasts.

Feel like you’re falling apart in midlife? You’ve probably told yourself the fog, fatigue, and sudden tears you’re experiencing are signs that something’s wrong with you. Karen Herrera disagrees, saying they’re signs that something’s finally right. For women navigating perimenopause, empty-nesting, or simply the sense that they’ve outgrown a life that used to fit, this conversation offers a different lens on midlife. I sit down with Karen Herrera, author of Perimenopause Clarity, to discuss why the hormonal and emotional shifts of this season aren’t a malfunction; they’re an invitation to recalibrate around what actually matters. Karen shares her own perimenopause journey, the unexpected job loss that pushed her to finally write her book, and practical guidance on advocating for yourself medically, trusting your intuition, and rebuilding community after the kids leave home. You’ll walk away with permission to stop fearing this transition and start using it. In this episode, you'll discover: Why midlife hormonal shifts can act as a catalyst for creative reconstruction instead of a crisis to survive How to tell the difference between a hormonal wave and a deeper question your higher self is asking you to sit with Why perimenopause can start far earlier than most women expect, and how to advocate for the right testing and support Simple ways to reconnect with what lit you up before career, kids, and other people’s expectations took over Why taking any small action beats waiting around for clarity to arrive on its own About My Guest Karen Herrera is the author of “Perimenopause Clarity,” a warm, witty guide born from her own search for answers during midlife upheaval. After being unexpectedly laid off from a corporate job, Karen turned a personal essay into the resource she wished she’d had — blending her own story with research-backed guidance on diet, herbs, adaptogens, and emotional and sexual wellness during perimenopause and menopause.

You’ve got decades of wisdom and the drive to lead — so why does your business still eat every ounce of your energy? There’s a good chance you’re not failing. You’re just stuck. In this episode, I’m talking directly to conscious midlife entrepreneurs who know they’re built for more but keep bumping into the same ceiling. I walk through the three bottlenecks I see most often in my coaching practice: the Superwoman bottleneck, the Visibility bottleneck, and the Strategic bottleneck — and how each one keeps stuck energy trapped in a business instead of scaling it. I share a story from my coaching practice about a client who was afraid to fully value her true calling, plus a live light language clearing to help release whatever bottleneck you recognize in yourself. And I give you a simple audit assignment so you can pinpoint exactly where your own energy is getting hung up, right now. In this episode, you'll discover: Why the “have to do it all” mindset, aka the Superwoman bottleneck, is one of the fastest ways to cap your business growth, and how delegating even a few hours a week can free you to generate far more revenue than you’d pay an assistant. How playing small to protect old relationships, otherwise known as the visibility bottleneck, can quietly keep you from the work, and the income, you were actually built for. Why holding onto processes that worked five years ago and resistance to tools like AI: the strategic bottleneck, can be the very thing capping your growth. A simple one-week energy audit you can start today to find exactly where your own bottleneck is hiding.

7.31.2026 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: Black Woman Jailed Over Land Battle. Trump Ends Medicare Help. Nolan Wells Autopsy Withheld. I'm here in Santee, South Carolina, for the 36th Jim Clyburn's Rudolph Canzater Memorial Classic, where the proceeds fund need-based scholarships for high school graduates and college students who live or attend school in South Carolina's 6th Congressional District.Here's what's coming up on Roland Martin Unfiltered, streaming live on the Black Star Network. Research of her family history landed her in federal custody. Jennine Labuzan (LAY-BOO-ZAN) is here to tell her story of how she spent two weeks in federal custody for refusing a judge's order to sign away more than 1,300 acres of land she says her family has owned for generations. The Trump Administration and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services will end the Part D Premium Stabilization Demonstration.

We'll show you the bodycam video that has a Texas family of an unarmed black teen killed by police not buying the claim their 17-year-old committed suicide by cop. The Illinois Prisoner Review Board unanimously denied the medical release of the former sheriff's deputy serving 20 years for the second-degree murder of Sonya Massey in 2024. The Trump Administration is only trying to rewrite history; it is also redrawing the map of Africa, embarrassing the country during a global AIDS conference. We'll break down Politico's new poll, which reveals most of Trump's MAGA base say they'd still vote for a GOP candidate riddled with scandals.
