Field Notes from the Fringe

INTRO: Between Science and Spirituality: Exploring Existence Beyond the Buzzwords...

In this first Intro episode of 'What We're Missing: Why Woo Woo Works in Plain Sight', we jump right into some of life’s biggest questions: Are we living in a simulation, or is there a hidden order to everything? How much control do we truly have over our lives, and what forces shape our reality? Host Ryan cuts through the noise of modern life—from manifestation and simulation theories to mental health and ancient wisdom.


This episode explores how we might use tools like mindfulness, grounding practices, and age-old philosophies to navigate relentless daily stress and rethink what it means to find purpose in a chaotic world. Whether you’re intrigued by the intersection of science and spirituality or looking to understand why staying present feels so elusive, this episode invites you to dig deeper, question everything, and explore new perspectives with open curiosity. Discover why some “woo woo” practices may hold real meaning—and what it takes to bridge the practical with the profound.

Join the conversation and explore how ancient practices, quantum ideas, and grounding habits can give us tools to navigate today’s relentless stimuli and offer new perspectives on what it means to find purpose, stay grounded, and even find a “distilled baseline faith” in a chaotic world.
