In this first solo episode of the season, Wil explores discernment- the skill of knowing what’s inner truth and what’s conditioned noise, so you can choose from your center. Using the metaphor of an “inner committee” (intuition, wisdom, higher guidance… plus anxiety, ego, craving, people-pleasing, and trauma responses), Wil breaks down how different inner voices sound, feel, and move in the body.

Wil also shares a personal story about a big decision made shortly after an ayahuasca ceremony — a moment when his discernment was vulnerable, his body signaled “no,” and that signal was reframed in a way that led to financial stress and credit card debt. The lesson: not every edge is expansion, and sometimes a “no” is your nervous system’s wisdom doing its job.

You’ll leave with practical questions, grounding tools, and a simple body-based practice you can use today — especially when you’re spinning, ruminating, or feeling urgency around a choice.

In this episode, we cover:

• A clear definition of discernment: inner truth vs conditioned noise
• A real-life example of discernment getting hijacked (and the cost of ignoring body wisdom)
• The difference between intuition and anxiety (calm clarity vs urgency and catastrophe)
• How ego can sound “high standards” but actually be fear of not-enoughness
• People-pleasing signals (polite, self-erasing, peace-keeping at the cost of truth)
• Trauma responses (fight/flight/freeze/fawn) and how protectors can be wise but outdated
• Craving (sneaky, graspy, “just one more thing and then I’ll be okay” energy)
• A queer-specific pattern: the proving/belonging hijack (desperation dressed as guidance)

Discernment cues to use:

• Intuition feels calm, simple, grounded, and steady over time
• Anxiety feels urgent, spiraling, and catastrophic
• Ego focuses on image, status, comparison, and proving worth
• People-pleasing prioritizes others’ comfort over your truth
• Trauma response feels intense, controlling, or numbing/disassociative
• Craving bargains and grasps for reassurance, signs, purchases, or certainty

Questions to support discernment:

• Does this feel urgent? (Urgency often points to anxiety/craving/trauma response.)
• Is this coming from love or fear? (And: is it current-day truth or old protection?)
• Does this move me toward wholeness… or performance?
• What happens if I wait 24 hours? (Intuition stays steady; anxiety escalates; craving bargains; ego postures; people-pleasing backpedals.)

Tiny practice to try today:

1. Hand on chest, hand on belly.
2. Take a slow breath (longer exhale than inhale).
3. Ask: “Which voice is speaking right now?”
4. Get curious — and invite the unhelpful committee members to step out of the boardroom.

Closing intention:
 Wil invites you into 2026 with more self-trust, more alignment, and more freedom — choosing what’s loving, true, and grounded rather than what’s loud, urgent, or performative.

In this episode of Queerly Beloved, Wil is joined by Beth Weinstein, a Spiritual Business Coach & Soul Liberation Guide, three-time entrepreneur, certified Master Transformational NLP practitioner, and a leading voice in soul-led business and psychedelic-assisted transformation. Beth has guided hundreds of visionary leaders, changemakers, and psychedelic pioneers to step into their purpose, grow aligned businesses, and serve from a place of deep spiritual integrity.

Together, Wil and Beth trace her journey from overworked fashion-industry “modern day slavery” to a life led by ceremony, intuition, and service. They explore soul callings, chanting and chakra work, equinox rituals, and what it really takes — practically and spiritually — to move from a safe-but-soul-crushing career into a business that feels like your true path.

In this episode, we explore:

• Burning Man, ceremony, and drag as sacred liminal spaces for radical self-expression and liberation
• Equinox ceremonies, the Wheel of the Year, and using seasonal shifts as portals for intention, release, and renewal
• Time scarcity vs. spaciousness: shifting from “I don’t have time” to “What am I truly prioritizing?”
• A breakdown in the back of a tuk-tuk, a mysterious illness, and the soul-level question: “Do you want to live or do you want to die?”
• Practical ways to move from a misaligned job into your calling: planting seeds, staying grounded, getting support, and letting the universe “meet you halfway”
• What it really means to build a soul-led business — listening to intuition, following synchronicities, and balancing action with surrender
• Words as spells: speaking your desires out loud, declaring your path, and letting opportunities and allies show up
• Imagining your purpose if money didn’t exist or the current system collapsed — and orienting your work around service, community, and what your soul is here to give

In this episode of Queerly Beloved, Wil kicks off Season 4 and episode 76 with a tarot reading for collective for this new season of the podcast, and for this new season of your life.

Wil is joined by Graham Joseph Norton, an integrative psychotherapist, spiritual teacher, author, founder of Celtic Tarot Therapy, and host of the Bears, Tea & Tarot podcast. Graham’s work blends psychology, mysticism, and humour to help people heal trauma, reclaim their spiritual power, and reconnect with their authentic selves.

Together, Wil and Graham explore the Divine Feminine, Christ Consciousness, Gnostic spirituality, and the deep belonging of queer souls in the spiritual story of humanity. They then move into a powerful collective tarot spread tuned to the current cosmic energies, offering guidance on grounding, self-worth, transformation, and stepping into the light of your own radiance.

In this episode, we explore:

• Graham’s journey from opera singer to psychotherapist, mystic, and tarot teacher
• How Celtic Tarot Therapy bridges science, psychology, and Spirit
• The Gnostic Gospels as a tool for mental health and spiritual reclamation
• Why so many religions told queer and trans people we were “wrong” and how older mystical traditions actually celebrate us
• The balance of Divine Masculine and Divine Feminine within each of us, and why that’s a queer superpower
• Reclaiming God/Spirit within rather than seeking worthiness from outside authority
• Religious trauma, shame, and learning to see ourselves as God-incarnate, not as a problem to fix
• A collective Full Moon / Mercury retrograde tarot spread with themes of:
  • Grounding into abundance and stability
  • Releasing fear, scarcity, and old stories of unworthiness
  • Awakening to deeper self-worth and soul purpose
  • Moving forward with courage, joy, and radiant authenticity

In this final episode of season three of Queerly Beloved, I drop in with Yaron “Dashboard” Schweizer: a community weaver, theatre maker, and director of Chinkapin Craftstead. From kibbutz days to the Eggplant Faerie Players to a hand-built, off-grid life in rural Tennessee, Dashboard has been practicing the art of community living for decades. We start with a conversation about the tender tension of our time: holding grief and rage without losing levity, and how joy can be a sustainable form of resistance.

Yaron “Dashboard” Schweizer has been committed to community living and organizing—and to theatre acting and directing—for most of their life. They lived on a kibbutz as a young adult, studied acting in New York City, and moved to rural Tennessee in 1994. A former member of the Eggplant Faerie Players, Dashboard toured nationally with multiple shows. In 2004, they and their partner joined friends in a hollow near Woodbury, hand-building their off-grid home. Dashboard now serves as director of Chinkapin Craftstead, a nonprofit queer arts organization uplifting queer, trans, and BIPOC voices. 💚

• Visible allyship & solidarity: what a keffiyeh signals, showing up thoughtfully, and taking responsibility without collapsing into despair.
• Community (beyond the buzzword): the gift and the grit—why conflict can be medicine, and how chosen family keeps us brave.
• From kibbutz to Radical Faeries: homophobia, leaving, arriving, and finding a movement that makes room for your full self.
• Theatre x ritual x politics: ACT UP echoes, a Fairy Witch coven, ritual theatre, and intergenerational magic at Chinkapin (including the revival of Bar Dykes). 
• Inanna’s descent & Venus cycles: shedding even the identities we love to remember who we are beneath them—and bringing that medicine back to the village.
• Earth-based spirituality & land: practicing on stolen land, indigenous rights, and why “all liberation is one liberation.

• “They’re coming for our bodies—but really, they’re coming for our joy.”
• “Community that isn’t self-aware can press people down; community at its best lifts us into who we’re becoming.”
• ““Palestinian liberation is the collective tissue of our collective liberation”

In this SUPER wu episode of Queerly Beloved, Wil sits down with A’sha Love, a multidimensional guide, speaker, and author who supports healers, empaths, and visionaries in aligning more deeply with their soul’s essence. Her journey began in 2008 after the passing of her father sparked a profound metaphysical awakening, leading her from mediumship and channeling into her current work as a metaphysician.

Together we explore:
 ✨ Judgment as resistance — how noticing and getting curious about our judgments can reveal the parts of ourselves still asking for love and healing.
✨ Mindful playfulness — the practice of choosing, moment by moment, to bring play into our lives as a path of presence and liberation.
✨ Wounded motivation — recognizing the hidden wounds that can drive our actions, and how to clean them up so we act from clarity, love, and creativity.
✨ Inner Tech Transfer of the Multi-Dimensional Self — A’sha’s powerful teaching on accessing wisdom and abilities from other aspects of our multidimensional being.

These topics and many more! This is a deep, playful, and heart-expanding conversation about shadow work, soul remembrance, and the joy of evolving into new expressions of who we are.

What do you do when your heart longs for something and it just hasn’t arrived yet?

In this episode of Queerly Beloved, I share a personal story about calling in my romantic partner and the long, sometimes painful stretch of waiting it took before he appeared. Along the way, I discovered that the “in-between” is not wasted time, it’s a crucible, a sacred space where we are stretched, refined, and prepared to fully receive what we desire.

We’ll explore:
 ✨ The hardest part of holding the tension between desire and arrival.
 ✨ The spiritual practices that can reframe waiting and make it sacred.
 ✨ The surprising gifts that come from this sometimes uncomforatable process.

Whether you’re longing for a romantic partnership, a new job, money, a new home, or whatever it is that you don't have and you deeplydesire, this episode is here to remind you that the waiting is can be made more tolerable and that it brings with it gifts of expansion and growth. 

If this conversation resonates, please subscribe, rate, and share it with someone who could use encouragement right now. 

And if you’d like deeper support navigating your own waiting season, I’d love to connect with you through and share about the life coaching support and personal retreats I offer. Learn more at www.wil-fullyliving.com

In this episode of Queerly Beloved, I’m joined by the luminous and liberatory Rev. Karmen Michael Smith- a Black queer theologian, cultural strategist, and author of Holy Queer: The Coming Out of Christ. As the creator of Prophetic Intelligence™ and the founder of the inclusive digital faith community Poor Culture, Karmen’s work lives at the sacred intersection of queerness, spirituality, and social transformation.

• Queerness not as a curse but as a calling.
• The layered intersection of being Black, queer, and spiritual.

In this solo episode, I'm exploring my realtionship with enoughness and sharing some of the learnings this exploration has brought me so far. We look at it from multiple angles indluing from the material (“Do I have enough?”); the relational (“Are others enough for me?”), to the internal (“Am I enough?”).

I also dive into the learnings and insights I had about enoughness during a a recent MDMA-assisted therapy experience.

Whether you’re working through self-doubt, navigating relationships, or longing for a deeper sense of wholeness, you’ll find nourishment here.

Some key takeaways: 

• Why enoughness isn’t a measurement, but rather it’s a mindset, feeling and a relationship.
• How scarcity mindset can fuel comparison, anxiety, and overachieving.
• The surprising fears that hide beneath desires for “more.”
• How intimate relationships reflect back our own self-worth struggles.
• The liberating paradox: “I have enough—and I desire more.”
