What if delivering a hard truth made your client furious in the moment… and it turned out to be exactly what they needed? 🔥

Prophetess Amanda Kunkel joins Tony Babcock to talk about holding truth, channeling fire & breaking the middle class ceiling.

In this raw, electric episode, host Tony Babcock (Netflix actor, Hilton Hotels speaker) sits down with Amanda Kunkel, Prophetess and Psychic Business Mentor, to explore what it really means to deliver hard truths under pressure.

Amanda channels for her clients—but when one client pushed back hard mid-session, something powerful happened. The channel said: Stay. And she did.

What followed? A lesson about fire, shadow selves, and the invisible frequency that keeps good people from reaching their full potential.

• What it feels like to channel under pressure when a client pushes back
• Why staying in hard truth is an act of love, not cruelty
• The simmer boil vs. rolling boil: how to channel your fire without burning everything down
• What the “middle class frequency” is and why it keeps you comfortable but capped
• The saber-toothed tiger fear: why unleashing yourself feels like exile from the cave
• What owning your shadow self actually means for your business income
• Why letting people be wrong about you is one of the most powerful things you can do
• The live channel Amanda delivered for the audience at the end of the episode

🌟 "Stay. Stay." The two words the channel gave Amanda as her client challenged her mid-session. And she listened.

🌟 "When I think I’m being a bitch, I’m most likely still over giving." The hot seat answer that stopped Tony cold.

🌟 The live channel at the end of the episode: "The algorithm doesn’t matter when you are in your full inner God state."

Prophetess and Psychic Business Mentor with 20+ years of experience in intuitive guidance and business mentorship. Former management professional at Fortune 500 companies. Author of a Brains magazine column and creator of the God State Meditation.

What if the most popular question in personal development is keeping you stuck? Perspective Alchemist Katie Kleuber joins Tony to flip the script on personal growth. 🎨✨

In this laugh-out-loud, think-out-loud episode, host Tony Babcock (Netflix actor, Hilton Hotels speaker) sits down with Katie Kleuber, Perspective and Story Alchemist, and author of Beige Unless That’s You.

Katie spent 20 years in oil and gas as a division order analyst before realizing her real superpower was untangling how people see things. Born in Alaska, raised across 10 states and Grand Cayman, she’s a lover of improv and a collector of extraordinary analogies.

“Why” is the question that keeps you in your head, keeps you spinning, and keeps you beige. And there are better questions waiting.

• Why “why” keeps you stuck in your head instead of in your body
• The alphabet reframe: B is the 2nd letter; Y is the 3rd from the last. Where do you want to stand?
• “Reasons are excuses in a fur coat” and what to say instead
• What “beige” really means as a metaphor for identity and staying neutral
• How constant movement shaped a perspective that sees around corners
• The 52-prompt permission slip disguised as a self-help book
• What a Perspective and Story Alchemist actually does
• You can’t get to London sitting on a park bench. But which way is east?

🌟 “Reasons are excuses in a fur coat.” The line that stopped Tony cold.

🌟 The Alphabet Reframe: B is the 2nd letter; Y is the 3rd from the last. Live, unplanned, and perfect.

🌟 “Does the door blame you for bumping into it?” One line from her book that ties the whole episode together.

Perspective and Story Alchemist, author of Beige Unless That’s You, and former division order analyst who spent 20+ years in oil and gas. She helps people see the same situation from a completely different angle.

Do you constantly feel like you have 37 tabs open in your brain, all screaming for attention, and you don't know which one to close? 🧠🌪️

In this deeply personal and eye-opening episode, host Tony Babcock sits down with Heather Lowry, an ADHD Mindset & Strategies Coach and the founder of The ADHD Productivity Co.

From navigating life with a neurodivergent family to receiving her own diagnosis in her mid-30s, Heather keeps it incredibly real. She shares her journey of building a massive community of 85K+ Facebook followers and why her core philosophy is simple: chaos isn't a flaw, it's a clue.

Tony and Heather dive into why so many women fly under the radar, mistaking their internal neurodivergent chaos for anxiety or a lack of organization.

They unpack the exhaustion of masking, the intense "energy pendulum" of high-highs and couch-locked lows, and the struggle of perfectionism. Plus, Heather walks Tony through a live, actionable exercise to disrupt the painful, gut-punching spiral of Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD).

If you’ve ever felt paralyzed by overwhelm, ashamed of your "piles," or felt like a simple thumbs-up text meant your friends secretly hated you, this episode is your ultimate reminder: you are not broken, and there is a place for you at the table.

Inside the Episode:

• 02:49 – The "What color do I paint my walls?" Spiral
• 09:10 – Masking, High Expectations, and the "Good Student"
• 18:15 – Why Chaos Isn't a Flaw... It's a Clue
• 24:47 – Managing the "37 Tabs" in Your Brain
• 39:15 – The Energy Pendulum and ADHD Burnout

Tami is a life coach, transformation alchemist, and certified energy healer who helps people reconnect with who they truly are without blowing up everything they’ve built.

• The Wake-Up Call: The moment Tami realized her life didn’t feel like her own.
• The Common Denominator Truth: The gut-punch realization that changed everything and how it gives you your power back.
