Life, Death & The Space Between
Dead Talking
This week on the show I host David Ferrugio, the host of the Dead Talks podcast. In this episode, we delve into David's grief journey after losing his father in 9/11 and explore how public tragedy intersects with private mourning. We discuss the importance of normalizing conversations around death, the profound impact of near-death experiences, and the role of spirituality in creating a meaningful life. We also contrast our podcast missions and delve into various perspectives on what happens after we die. Tune in to hear about the healing potential of confronting grief and the spiritual insights that can arise from processing loss. Visit our podcast page for additional resources and insights from David's show.

460. Redefining Achievement through Inner Awakening
55:34||Season 7, Ep. 460Today I host Scott Britton, a former tech entrepreneur who sold his company to Salesforce, to talk about a journey you rarely hear about: a profound spiritual and Kundalini awakening that hit him in the middle of his high-pressure career. We discuss why success and spirituality don't have to be separate paths, how he navigated years of spontaneous energy movements while running a business, and the practical method he developed to turn every business meeting and life challenge into a moment of spiritual growth. This is for anyone who feels called to grow spiritually but doesn't believe they have to leave their career or life behind to do it.00:00 Intro 04:28 High-Achieving Life and Inner Emptiness 08:13 The Ayahuasca Ceremony That Changed Everything 10:25 Kundalini Awakening Begins 12:44 Navigating Awakening While Running a Business 17:50 Using Triggers as Mirrors 20:40 A Real-World Example 26:14 The Continuous Process of Kundalini Purification 33:59 Defining "Conscious Accomplishment" 37:38 How Spiritual Growth Changes You 41:09 Life as a Continuous Spiritual Practice 45:03 Telepathy, Energy, and Other Metaphysical Experiences 49:35 "Conscious Talent" 52:52 Where to Find Scott LEARN MORE ABOUT SCOTT BRITTON https://www.conscioustalent.com/ JOIN MY COMMUNITY In The Space Between membership, you’ll get access to LIVE quarterly Ask Amy Anything meetings (not offered anywhere else!), discounts on courses, special giveaways, and a place to connect with Amy and other like-minded people.

459. Do Jung and Shamanism Go Together?
47:00||Season 7, Ep. 459Having a conversation with Carl Greer feels like receiving a masterclass in the architecture of the soul. Here was a successful businessman who, in midlife, answered a profound call to become a Jungian analyst and shamanic practitioner. In this episode, we dive deep into the powerful synergy between Jungian psychology and shamanism. Carl shares how these paths offer unique tools to access inner wisdom, rewrite the stories that hold us back, and fundamentally change our lives from the inside out. We explore the unseen energies that influence us and practical ways to connect with them for personal transformation TIMESTAMPED OVERVIEW00:00 Meet Carl Greer: Analyst and Shaman02:49 Carl's Unconventional Path to Purpose06:18 What is Jungian Psychology?09:15 Jung, Freud, and the Spiritual Split12:17 Jungian Therapy vs. Modern Modalities15:07 Listener Support and Ways to Connect19:43 Stories, Energy, and Making Change25:58 Synchronicity and the Nature of Reality28:34 The Calling to Change Your Life32:51 The Transformative Power of Deep Analysis35:45 The Soul's Return to Psychology39:08 Accessing Your Inner Wisdom44:00 Spirituality and Pure Potential45:36 How to Find Carl's Work ABOUT CARL GREERhttps://www.carlgreer.com/ JOIN MY COMMUNITY In The Space Between membership, you’ll get access to LIVE quarterly Ask Amy Anything meetings (not offered anywhere else!), discounts on courses, special giveaways, and a place to connect with Amy and other like-minded people.

458. Forgiving Yourself After Child Loss
41:55||Season 7, Ep. 458Is it really possible to choose joy after the death of a child? My conversation with Melissa Hull is a profound testament that it is. She reveals how a miraculous letter became her lifeline and how she made the intentional, daily choice to heal, using everything from 15-minute gratitude practices to Reiki and painting. Her story isn't about moving on, but about moving forward with love, and building a life so big that it honors both the loss and the love.00:00 Melissa Hull's Story of Loss01:40 The Mysterious Letter from Teresa04:49 Divine Intervention and a Choice to Live06:58 Compounding Loss After Grief10:33 A "Come to Jesus" Moment and Daughter Hope12:49 The 15-Minute Daily Gratitude Practice14:51 Drew's Power Ranger: A Sign from Beyond16:51 Becoming a Force That Happens to Life19:19 Beyond Talk Therapy: Painting to Process Grief25:22 Authoring Your Journey with Intention26:17 Spiritual Practices: Reiki, Sound Baths & More32:37 Radiance, Peace & Divorce37:26 "Dear Drew": Melissa's Letter of Hope to You40:09 Finding Melissa's Work41:36 Conclusion and Thanks · Website: https://melissahull.com · Book: Dear Drew, Creating a Life Bigger Than Grief · Social Media: @MelissaHull JOIN MY COMMUNITY In The Space Between membership, you’ll get access to LIVE quarterly Ask Amy Anything meetings (not offered anywhere else!), discounts on courses, special giveaways, and a place to connect with Amy and other like-minded people.

457. From Self-Hatred to Soul Connection
01:20:02||Season 7, Ep. 457In this episode, I sit down with Gerard Powell, a man who had it all from the outside—multimillions, fast cars, and luxury homes—but was utterly broken inside. After decades of self-destruction, and two suicide attempts, even intensive therapy couldn't reach the root of his pain. In a final, desperate act, he turned to plant medicine. What happened there didn't just save his life; it revealed a childhood trauma he had completely buried and gave him a new heart—literally. Jerry now runs Rythmia, a licensed plant medicine center, and shares the data-backed transformations he's witnessed in nearly 20k people. This conversation is a raw look at how we can become disconnected from our soul and the powerful paths that can lead us back home. 00:00 Intro 05:07 Gerard's Story 07:09 The Depths of Self-Hatred 09:17 5 Years of Intensive Therapy 17:26 The Desperate Trip to Costa Rica and Iboga 17:54 Childhood Sexual Trauma 25:30 Forgiving His Grandfather 26:18 Receiving a New Heart 32:58 Building Rythmia to Help Others 42:40 Healing Physical Ailments 59:14 Are You Out of Sync with Your Soul? 01:04:11 Why Plant Medicine is Suppressed 01:14:15 Final Message Learn More:· Rythmia Life Advancement Center: www.rhythmia.com In The Space Between membership, you’ll get access to LIVE quarterly Ask Amy Anything meetings (not offered anywhere else!), discounts on courses, special giveaways, and a place to connect with Amy and other like-minded people.

456. Spiritual Crisis in Mental Health
43:59||Season 7, Ep. 456I sit down with Dr. David Rosmarin, an associate professor at Harvard Medical School and a pioneer bridging the worlds of spirituality and clinical psychology. We explore a powerful, yet often ignored, truth in mental health: that for many, emotional distress is a crisis of meaning and spirit. David shares the fascinating research from his work at McLean Hospital, and we tackle the tough questions—are we over-medicalizing normal human anxiety? Could connecting with our spiritual nature be a more effective path to healing? This is a crucial conversation about bringing the soul back into mental health care.00:00 Intro02:42 The Genesis of Spirituality05:12 How Do You Define Spirituality?10:32 The Chasm Between Patient Needs and Clinical Training12:08 Humanizing Care: From Medication to Meaning18:21 A Case Study: Crisis of Meaning20:37 The Four Steps to Face Anxiety28:41 Anxiety as an Existential Opportunity31:01 Spiritual Mentorship: Crisis and Healing Are One34:40 Are We Over-Pathologizing Normal Anxiety?37:17 The Benzodiazepine Crisis and Over-Medication41:21 How to Find Dr. Rosmarin's Work42:53 Conclusion Learn more about Dr. David Rosmarin:· dhrosmarin.com· spirit.mclean.harvard.eduIn The Space Between membership, you’ll get access to LIVE quarterly Ask Amy Anything meetings (not offered anywhere else!), discounts on courses, special giveaways, and a place to connect with Amy and other like-minded people.

455. Manifesting Beyond Your Limiting Beliefs
01:09:22||Season 7, Ep. 455I sat down with Matt Cooke, a former corporate real estate professional who became a globally recognized manifestation coach after a profound spiritual awakening connected him with his late mother. In this conversation, we move beyond theory into the mechanics of how consciousness shapes reality. Matt breaks down the science of manifestation, from quantum observation and probabilistic universes to practical steps for reframing your deepest limiting beliefs. We explore how to stop wanting and start embodying the future you desire—it’s a masterclass in co-creating your life with the universe. 00:00 Introduction: From Real Estate to Manifestation Coach03:04 The Mystical Experience That Changed Everything04:00 A Corporate Life and a Spiritual Awakening09:02 Understanding the "Why" Behind the Awakening12:15 The Shift from Grief to Exploring Consciousness14:55 Quantum Mechanics: Consciousness is Fundamental17:51 The Observer Effect and Your Reality23:11 Practical Steps to Reframe Limiting Beliefs28:32 The Mirror of Reality and Letting Go of "Wanting"36:04 The Simulation Hypothesis and NPCs44:39 How Intention Modifies Probability52:42 Tools for Manifestation: Finding What Works for You59:35 A New Life: Global Speaking and 11:11 Synchronicity1:07:16 Final Thoughts and Embracing the Journey Matt Cooke: · -Book: Beyond Wanting: The Art of True Manifestation MattCooke.me JOIN MY COMMUNITY In The Space Between membership, you’ll get access to LIVE quarterly Ask Amy Anything meetings (not offered anywhere else!), discounts on courses, special giveaways, and a place to connect with Amy and other like-minded people.

454. The Truth About Mediumship
58:24||Season 7, Ep. 454I loved this conversation with psychic medium Travis Holp, author of Are You There, Spirit? It’s Me, Travis. In this episode, we dive into how he connects with Spirit, how neuroscience is validating his process, and how therapy, sobriety, and spirituality all work together for true healing. We talk about coming out as a medium, what Spirit really feels like, and how to recognize guidance beyond simple “signs.” This one is deep, funny, and full of truth about what it means to live authentically—mind, body, and soul.00:00 – Amy’s Introduction & Episode Overview02:18 – Welcoming Psychic Medium Travis Holp04:47 – From Beauty Industry to Mediumship08:21 – Coming Out Twice: Gay and Medium12:55 – Therapy, Healing, and Sobriety22:22 – How Travis Connects with Spirit25:30 – Brainwave Research with Dr. Jeff Tarrant31:08 – Psychic Ability, Anxiety, and ADHD33:28 – Alignment, Purpose, and the Soul’s Work38:37 – Spirit Communication Beyond Signs47:43 – Boundaries, Energy Protection, and Grief57:35 – Final Reflections and Closing Thoughts LEARN MORE : 🔗 IG @TravisHolp 🔗 Website: travisholp.comJOIN MY COMMUNITY In The Space Between membership, you’ll get access to LIVE quarterly Ask Amy Anything meetings (not offered anywhere else!), discounts on courses, special giveaways, and a place to connect with Amy and other like-minded people.

453. The Meaning of Life Discovered
01:06:03||Season 7, Ep. 453In this episode, I sit down with bestselling author John Strelecky for one of the most captivating conversations we've ever had on the podcast. We explore his book, The Cafe on the Edge of the World, which he channeled in a powerful 21-day download. John opens up about his profound personal journey, the "cosmic algorithm" that guides our lives, and the three simple yet life-altering questions that can help you author a more meaningful existence.
