A Guided Life

Today, Cindy Anderson and I discuss spirit guides, building a relationship with them, and addressing skepticism and trust in the process. The conversation delves into the challenges of revealing spiritual beliefs, the purpose and impact of spirit guide connection, teaching and guiding clients, on-demand communication with spirit guides, evolution of communication with spirit guides, innate communication abilities, challenges in religious and spiritual communities, healthy skepticism and self-defense, and connecting. We emphasize the normalization of innate communication abilities, societal influence and skepticism, and empowerment through healthy skepticism.

For more than a decade, Cindy Anderson has been intentionally investigating one fascinating question: "Can communication with a spirit guide become clear, reliable, and teachable?" Rather than asking people to simply believe, she developed a practical process built on observation, experimentation, and firsthand experience. She welcomes skeptics, encourages curiosity, and challenges audiences to discover what's possible through their own investigation.

She's the founder of Soulpiphany, creator of Your Spirit Guide on Speed Dial®, and today she's here to challenge what you think you know about intuition, guidance, and the decisions that shape your life.

In this episode, Sheri Perl shares her extraordinary journey from skepticism to becoming a spiritual healer and EVP researcher. She discusses her personal experiences with healing, connecting with loved ones in spirit, and the fascinating world of electronic voice phenomena.

Sheri Perl is a Spiritual Healer and Advisor, Interfaith Minister, published author, and EVP Researcher who has studied, practiced, and taught spiritual disciplines for more than 50 years.

At age 20, after becoming gravely ill, Sheri experienced what she describes as a miraculous distant healing from renowned British spiritual healer Harry Edwards, who later became her teacher and inspiration. This experience awakened her to the presence of spirit and set her on a lifelong path of healing and spiritual exploration.

Sheri’s work has touched thousands of lives around the world. She is the author of Healing From the Inside Out and The Outside In, which chronicles her journey from illness to health and presents her Self-Healing Program, and Lost and Found—A Mother Connects-Up With Her Son In Spirit, which shares her experience of connecting with her son after his passing.

Following the unexpected death of her son Danny in 2008, Sheri founded The Prayer Registry, a free service that directs prayers to deceased children on the anniversary of their passing. Her experiences with psychic mediums and communication with loved ones in spirit have become an important part of her bereavement work.

In 2016, Sheri began recording Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVP). She believes these recordings provide evidence of continued existence in spirit and has focused particularly on conversations between bereaved parents and their deceased children.

Sheri continues to teach and facilitate healing through her Distant Healing Prayer Circle, writing, speaking, and spiritual education. She has studied with influential spiritual teachers including Jane Roberts and Seth, bringing together diverse spiritual disciplines into her own unique approach to healing and connection.

In this episode, I sit down with Christy Levy and Gary Temple Bodley to explore their fascinating journeys into channeling, spiritual connection, and working with guides. We dive into the difference between the inner self and higher self, how our beliefs and perspectives shape our spiritual experiences, and what it really means to trust guidance while still developing self-reliance.

We also explore fear, anxiety, emotional sensitivity, self-acceptance, and the idea of unconditional positive regard as important parts of spiritual growth. Christy and Gary share insights into creating personalized, channel-led courses, manifestation events, expanding consciousness, and navigating the paradoxes and uncertainty that can arise on a spiritual path. If you've ever wondered how to recognize spiritual guidance, trust your intuition, or deepen your connection with your own higher wisdom, this conversation offers plenty to explore.

Christy Levy is a spiritual medium known for her extraordinary ability to connect with nonphysical intelligence—including spirit guides and well-known figures from history.

Through her work, Christy offers something few others can: direct, real-time conversations with consciousness beyond the physical. In private sessions, she connects individuals with their own spirit guides, providing deeply personal insight into their life path, purpose, and pre-birth intentions—often leaving clients with a profound sense of clarity, direction, and connection.

On the An Unimaginable Life podcast, Christy co-hosts the widely loved “Dead Talks” series with Gary Temple Bodley. In these episodes, she brings through two notable figures from history to discuss spiritual topics and answer questions. It’s a fascinating experience that often feels like sitting down for a conversation with the greatest minds and personalities who have ever lived.

Gary Temple Bodley is a spiritual teacher, author, and channel for a collective of nonphysical teachers known as Joshua. Since 2016, he has shared Joshua’s teachings through his Joshua Live podcast, with over 700 episodes of practical, leading-edge insight into how reality actually works.

Joshua’s teachings are grounded in one core principle: your perspective creates your experience. By expanding perspective, you naturally raise your vibration and unlock greater clarity, alignment, and freedom.

Gary is the author of four channeled books, including A Perception of Reality and A Radical Change in Your Approach to Life. His work translates complex spiritual concepts into practical tools that people can apply immediately in their lives.

As co-host of An Unimaginable Life, Gary brings depth, clarity, and grounded understanding to conversations that explore the intersection of consciousness, manifestation, and human experience.

The advice that "success" will make you happy falls apart fast. Larry Kesslin reveals why joy has nothing to do with achievement, and everything to do with conscious connection, purpose, and learning how to stop mistaking your mind for your true self.

After a week volunteering with inner-city kids in Aspen, then a life-changing month in Uganda and Kenya with his own children, Larry began questioning the stories most of us are taught about poverty, happiness, identity, and what it really means to be human. That search eventually led him to his books Success Redefined and The Joy Molecule, and to a framework that challenges the way we think about meaning, belonging, and peace.

You'll discover:

• Why Larry says joy is not the same as happiness, and why inner peace is the real marker
• The "what, who, why" framework that helps people understand themselves more deeply
• How the "20-something rule" explains the fork in the road between living your training and becoming who you were born to be
• Why he believes identity and ego can block peace, even when life looks successful on the outside
• How experiences in Africa, psychedelic journeys, and personal loss reshaped his understanding of connection, grief, and enoughness

I guide the conversation into some of Larry's most important turning points, including the moment he walked away from corporate life, the lessons he learned from challenged athletes, and why he now works mostly with successful men who feel strangely unhappy despite having "everything."This episode is for anyone who feels pulled by achievement but still suspects something essential is missing. If you've ever wondered why more money, more status, or more productivity still doesn't feel like enough, Larry offers a different path - one rooted in presence, service, and the courage to trust that your being knows more than your brain does.Perfect for listeners ready to rethink happiness, identity, and the way we build a meaningful life.

Larry Kesslin is a speaker, coach, and author of The Joy Molecule who spent decades chasing success before discovering that fulfillment has nothing to do with achievement. After 33 years as an entrepreneur, he now helps individuals and leaders find the peace, purpose, and human connection that success alone never gave them.
