Dr. Roger Nelson, founder of the Global Consciousness Project, shares how random number generators placed around the world respond when millions of people focus on major events like 9/11, elections, and celebrity deaths.

Dr. Nelson started at Princeton University's Engineering Anomalies Research Lab studying whether human consciousness could affect sensitive electronic equipment. They found 15% of people could change random number generator behavior through intention alone. People who could do it were free of conditioning that says you can't. The effects were tiny but accumulated over years of data collection.

This led Dr. Nelson to create the Global Consciousness Project in 1997. He placed random number generators around the world to see if major global events would affect them when millions share the same emotional state. The network started with 3 devices and grew to 60-70 by the end of the formal experiment. GCP 2.0 now has 1600 random number generators sending data to cloud servers.

The results were undeniable. Across 500 events, the data showed a seven sigma deviation with odds of three parts in a trillion against chance. But what shocked researchers most was the timing. On 9/11, changes started four hours before the first plane hit. Major earthquakes showed patterns eight hours before they struck. Dr. Nelson's explanation: the global mind had premonitions.

Liz and Dr. Nelson discuss why random number generators are vulnerable to consciousness when other devices aren't, what the noise problem means for interpreting results, and why some elections produced strong effects while others showed nothing at all.

Our Minds Affect Machines - The Global Consciousness Project | Roger Nelson, PhD (Episode 182)

Retired NYPD detective Mark Pucci and psychic medium Kiersten Hathcock share how they've partnered for over a decade solving cold cases and finding missing people when police departments gave up.

Kiersten, an entrepreneur who had appeared on Shark Tank, was shocked when she got contacted by a boy who had passed away. She was even more shocked when what she got was verified. Her scientific brain tried explaining everything away until she started physically seeing deceased people.

Mark was working a missing person case when the widow asked if he'd talk to a medium in Arizona. He said absolutely. When they met at a New York City restaurant and compared notes, Kiersten's information matched his investigation in ways she couldn't have known.

One morning Kiersten called Mark at 4am sensing he was in danger, with a warning that possibly saved his life. What happened next changed the entire trajectory of the case.

Liz, Mark, and Kiersten discuss how Mark validates psychic information, what it feels like for Kiersten to receive messages from the deceased versus the living, how they've worked on cases ranging from missing indigenous women to homicides misclassified as suicides.

They explain story and meaning behinbd the non-profit they cofounded, the National Institute for Law and Justice.

Detective + Psychic Medium Team Up and Solve Cases | Kirsten Hathcock + Mark Pucci (Episode 182)

Dorie Pickle, author of Dawn: A Fresh Perspective on Life, Death and the Other Side, shares how her mom Carly had vivid dreams and visions in her final days that revealed specific details about the afterlife, and made Dorie promise to write a book about what she was seeing.

Carly spent 40 years battling kidney disease. When she was hospitalized for pneumonia, something shifted. She started telling everyone who came into her hospital room about what she was witnessing. She told Dorie "I am staring death in the face right now" and described things about our journey and existence that she'd never known before. She explained details about levels and structures that exist on the other side that we can't see from here.

Then Carly had a vivid dream about buying and reading a book in an airport bookstore that described everything she was experiencing. She and Dorie spent two hours trying to find this book online. It didn't exist. Carly turned to Dorie and said "then you have to write it." She made Dorie promise she would.

Dorie shares some of the hundreds of signs she's received from her mom since her passing, why she stopped drinking alcohol to connect with her mom more in dreams and how it worked, and what her mom's visions revealed about the journey we're all on. Liz and Dorie discuss music as a conduit to the other side and why creativity might be essential to understanding life after death and our meaning in this life.

Dan Cohen, host of Awakenings in Real Life podcast and author, shares how his father had a two-day awakening from severe dementia after pneumonia treatment, becoming 90% himself again and delivering a message that changed how Dan views consciousness and what dementia patients might still understand.

Dan's father developed dementia after a stroke at 75 and progressed through all seven stages over 10 years. He became nonverbal, incontinent, needed help with everything, had no short term memory. Then in 2015, after antibiotics and steroids for pneumonia, something unexpected happened. For two days, he became himself again. He recalled specific details about his grandchildren's lives that happened during his dementia. He had conversations nobody thought possible. He asked for things he hadn't asked for in a decade.

Dan's brother videotaped him toward the end of those two days and asked what he was happy about. His father's answer became the foundation for Dan's entire mission. This wasn't terminal lucidity since it happened eight months before death, not hours or days. No medical explanation exists. Dan's brother, a doctor, searched for answers but colleagues and neurologists had never seen this in 30 years of practice.

Dan shares the profound lessons of acceptance and inclusion for dementia patients, how small acts of kindness can transform lives, and why we should give living eulogies. Liz and Dan discuss whether consciousness might be less dependent on the brain than we've been raised to believe and what this awakening might mean for our understanding of awareness during dementia.

Victoria Pippo, psychic development teacher and founder of Sovereign Healer school, shares how she channels extraterrestrials from multiple dimensions, why souls choose their gender across lifetimes, and the grounding practices that prevent spiritual psychosis.

Victoria's psychic journey began when her grandfather came through in meditation with the unmistakable scent of campfire and went to verify if this checked out. Soon she was channeling interdimensional beings including extraterrestrials who revealed their origins and why they're fascinated by Earth's evolution. She explains how most humans carry hybrid extraterrestrial DNA, what different dimensions actually mean, and why lower dimensional entities feed off human trauma.

Her fiancé Hayden met Victoria as a woman, then transitioned to male a year into their relationship. Through past life regression, Hayden researched his gender and roles in previous lives to better undestand why he came as a woman this time. This lifetime, he chose to incarnate as female for 25 years before finding his truth at exactly age 25, which ended up being signifcant. Victoria shares how souls make conscious choices about gender expression across multiple lifetimes and Liz and Victoria disciss the research showing why children may be remembering past life gender when they insist they're different from their assigned sex.

Victoria explains how sheteaches the four spiritual hygiene practices, grounding, shielding, protecting, and cleansing, that allow psychics to discern truth from projection without losing connection to physical reality.

Psychic Teacher on Extraterrestrials and Do Trans Souls Choose Gender | Victoria Pippo (Episode 179)

Kim Hodous, happiness speaker and author of Beyond Grief, shares how she connects daily with her son Rob through automatic writing after losing him at 29, the profound messages he shares about the other side, and the system he gave her to teach other mothers to connect with their children who have passed.

After losing her daughter Chelsea to leukemia 30 years ago and receiving white rock signs everywhere she went, Kim was a happiness speaker for 15 years when she got the devastating call that Rob had died. That night in a hotel room stranded in a snowstorm, Rob came through apologizing and saying he was embarrassed. A month later, her psychic friend told her to open her computer the next morning and he'd be there. Kim started typing and Rob's words poured through, and he hasn't stopped communicating since.

Rob shared that the greatest relief was being free from torment, that love is all there is on the other side, and everyone has equal access to the light regardless of what they did in life. He explained he can be in multiple places instantly, that Chelsea reincarnated but her eternal soul remains available, and he's been helping souls cross over including children from the Uvalde shooting. He revealed he pushed Kim's car into a tree and broke her friend Donna's leg in Italy because both would have died otherwise, demonstrating how inconvenient events often save us from worse outcomes.

A year after his death, Rob came to Kim in a waking dream more real than physical reality to give her one last hug and deliver news that he was giving her a system called OSCAR to teach other mothers to connect with their children. Kim explains anyone can do automatic writing without being psychic or a medium, and our loved ones are banging on the veil waiting to communicate.

Her Dead Son Taught Her a System to Talk to Him Daily | Kim Hodous (Episode 178)

Rebecca Kastl, pediatric speech pathologist and healer, shares her profound two-year spiritually transformative experience that began when she had a spontaneous spiritual awakening while journaling at age 26. After surviving sexual trauma at 13 and spending years healing, Rebecca saw a beautiful light over her bed that looked into her heart, spoke to her, and changed everything.

For the next two years, Rebecca saw glowing white light emanating from every person she encountered, had psychic dreams that accurately predicted a car accident and carbon monoxide poisoning with verifiable details, witnessed alternate timelines of her life, experienced a spontaneous life review feeling her sister's emotions in her body, and sensed the eclipse's energy physically. She remained fully functional as a Columbia graduate student while living between two worlds, until a vivid dream ended the experience and left her searching for meaning in the woods for years.

Rebecca explains the difference between her soul and personality, why language for these experiences is limited by societal upbringing, how trauma opened her to spiritual reality despite being raised by an MD father with a PhD in biochemistry and a psychologist mother, what it means to see light in everyone, and why she now offers sacred soul sessions helping others heal and reconnect with their inner light.

A 2-Year Spiritually Transformative Experience: Seeing Light in Everyone | Rebecca Kastl (Episode 177)

Betty Guadagno, former homeless addict turned manifesting teacher, reveals how she used the Law of Attraction to rebuild her life from rock bottom and shares practical techniques for manifesting money, relationships, and abundance.

Betty shares her transformation from drug addiction, homelessness, and prostitution to becoming a manifesting workshop leader after a life-changing near death experience. She explains why manifesting is not toxic positivity or bypassing real emotions, the difference between manifesting and mindset, and how the universe works as an echo chamber responding to your vibration. Betty breaks down the chakra system and which affirmations work best for different goals (I am, I feel, I have, I love, I speak, I see, I know), why money is the energy of love and not evil, and how to dismantle poverty consciousness and limiting beliefs around wealth.

We discuss her concrete manifestation story of manifesting her first apartment with the exact amount needed appearing in her tax return, why you cannot fake your vibes or trick the universe, how to start with small manifestations like a Snickers bar to build confidence, the importance of taking action alongside visualization, why detachment from outcome is essential, and how rejection is redirection to something better. Betty explains why fear blocks manifestation, how to identify which chakra to use for affirmations, the power of writing things down with a pen, and why your romantic partners are spiritual mirrors showing you your own wounds.

How Manifesting Transformed a Homeless Addict Into a Thriving Entrepreneur | Betty Guadagno (Bonus)

AJ Capasso, paranormal investigator and near death experiencer, shares his journey from opioid addiction and 12 overdoses to founding an international paranormal podcast and investigating the mysteries of the afterlife.

AJ survived a profound near death experience after his final overdose in 2014 during the opioid epidemic. He describes leaving his body, standing above two paramedics working on him, and being able to simultaneously exist in multiple places just by thought. He experienced a life review where he felt the pain he caused others through their eyes, traveled through hyperspace passing stars, and arrived at a vibrant landscape with colors he'd never seen, extinct animals like wooly mammoths, creatures that don't exist on Earth, and angels of all different sizes. A being of pure light 9-10 feet tall told him it wasn't his time before he was pulled back into his body when paramedics used the paddles.



After his NDE, AJ developed abilities to feel energy and presences in rooms, sense what people were feeling (hunger, anger, sadness), and feel crystals vibrating in his hand. He founded Coventry Circle Paranormal and launched Talking with the Source, an international podcast featuring paranormal teams, researchers, and experiencers from around the world. His most mind-blowing evidence includes a spirit box session where his friend's deceased wife predicted a future Mother's Day event six weeks in advance with impossible accuracy, and another session predicting a blood disease diagnosis two days before doctors discovered it.
