Cory Jacob moved to Los Angeles from a Wisconsin town of 3,000 people to honor his brother, who took his own life at 20. Two decades later you have seen him on NCIS, American Housewife, and Jimmy Kimmel Live, and in more national commercials than he can count. He is a standup comedian, a father of twins he raised on his own for ten years, and the owner of Yes Baby! Vintage, a Burbank shop he runs as a third space for artists and anyone who needs somewhere to belong. We talk about the drive to theater rehearsal that changed the direction of his life, and the choice he made instead. From there: comedy as an art you live in real time, midlife at 45, taking inventory of your friendships, the ripple effect of making one person's day better, and why the more you are yourself, the stronger your signal is. This conversation includes discussion of suicide loss and past drug use. If you are struggling, you are not alone. In the US, call or text 988.

Jordan Start is a clinical therapist and a demonologist, a pairing you almost never hear spoken about out loud. A registered social worker with a master's in the field, she has spent years in the trenches of trauma and abuse before spirit called her into demonology and spirit rescue. She said no for a long time before she said yes. In this episode, Jordan and James, both therapists, explore where clinical work and the spirit world meet, and how often they turn out to be describing the same thing. How darker energies find us through our unhealed wounds. Why fear amplifies them. And the one instruction her spiritual team never changed: do your inner work. You are a divine soul, you have the right to say no, and your healing is the strongest protection you will ever have.

What if nothing that ever happened to you was a punishment? Jamye Price has spent two decades teaching people to live from that question. An internationally known channeler and the creator of Crystalline Soul Healing and Opening to Light Language, she works with the Lyran Council and a being she calls Arion to move energy that the mind alone cannot reach. In this conversation, Jamye and James sit with what it means to stop reading life as reward and punishment. They talk about trauma as stored energy rather than verdict, the subtle realm and how it actually speaks, light language as a tool for the parts of us that words cannot find, and what love asks of a person who is finally ready to heal. The whole episode moves out from a single line: we are never being punished by life.

Some instruments are played. Others play you. Benjamin Symes is one of the world's most visible practitioners of the Pyradym, a chakra-aligned analog sound and light instrument with fewer than sixty in existence. He came to it from an unlikely place: the New York underground house scene, where his ear was already attuned to low frequency and its effect on the body. What he found in the Pyradym, and what found him, became the work of his life. In this conversation we get into: • How a DJ from NYC nightlife became a sound practitioner  • What the Pyradym actually is, and why so few exist in the world  • Sothis, Sirian contact, and the channeled message that redirected his path  • Sound as a carrier of information, not just vibration  • What it asks of a person to surrender to an instrument that carries its own intelligence This is episode one of Make Your Own World, the rebranded continuation of the Journey Mindfulness Podcast. Same host. Broader frame. We're going where the work has always pointed.

Casey Claar is a Consciousness Explorer, visual and vocal channel, and founder of consciousnessexploration.com, known online as the Galactic Travel Channel. In 2009, at age forty-four, a four-year Kundalini awakening began that brought nightly out-of-body experiences and a slow rebuilding of her central nervous system to hold what was coming through. In this conversation, Casey shares her framework for OBEs as conscious state-shifts, why she says disclosure does not happen in 3D, and the work she does with a single quartz crystal that has brought more than four hundred beings through as faces and forms. Underneath all of it sits one quiet question that runs through her teaching: is this a reason to love, or a reason to fear. You are the reality you are experiencing. You lock and unlock your own doors.

Zohar Bahir spent decades flying Boeing 767s across the globe. She also spent those years quietly deepening a spiritual practice that eventually led her to the jungles of Peru, a shamanic initiation with the Shipibo, and a 28-year channeling relationship with Sothis, a collective of light beings connected to the star system Sirius. In this episode, Zohar shares her journey from cockpit to channel, and Sothis comes through live with a transmission on reality creation, working with spirit allies, and why this is a pivotal lifetime for those on the path of awakening.

What happens when a clinician with a doctorate in psychology starts channeling Arcturian star beings? Dr. Dorie LeSieur, PsyD, is a psycho-spiritual therapist and creator of Galactic Akashic Family Constellations — a healing modality that works across timelines, dimensions, and generations. In this conversation, we explore why talk therapy alone can't reach where real healing happens, how unresolved galactic and ancestral trauma blocks manifestation, and what it looks like when science and cosmic intelligence meet in one practice. We go deep into shadow work as the missing key to manifestation, how family constellations reveal hidden energetic entanglements keeping you stuck, the Arcturian mission on Earth, spiritual hygiene for healers and empaths, and working with the Adult Self, Inner Child, and Higher Self at the same time. This episode includes a guided HeartMath heart coherence meditation and a live Arcturian heart chakra activation with light language. Whether you're a clinician, a healer, or someone who's done all the work and still feels something unnamed missing — this one is for you. 🔗 CONNECT WITH DR.

What happens when psychotherapy meets the "high strangeness" of UFO contact? In this episode, James O'Neill, LCPC, speaks with Barbara Lamb, a pioneering psychotherapist and regression therapist with over four decades of experience working with individuals who report anomalous contact experiences. Moving beyond the question of "Is it real?", this conversation focuses on the therapeutic work of integration—how extraordinary experiences are remembered, processed, and woven into a healthy human psyche. Topics include regression therapy, memory and the subconscious, healing experiences, reported hybrid phenomena, and the ethical responsibilities of clinicians working at the edges of human experience. This is a thoughtful, grounded dialogue for clinicians, experiencers, and curious listeners interested in how psychotherapy meets the unknown.
