In the Season One finale of Realms of Curiosity, Sarah and Wendy finally explore the question they've been circling all season: What is reality?
Drawing on childhood experiences, spiritual encounters, shamanic practice, and decades of exploring consciousness, they reflect on how their perceptions of reality have changed over time.
Sarah shares childhood experiences involving spirit guides and “Star Boy,” while Wendy reflects on invisible friends, soul retrieval, soul loss, and recurring imagery from her own journeys.
The conversation expands into questions about the limits of human perception, consciousness, timelines, intention, symbolic and energetic realities, and the possibility of interdimensional experience. They also consider how difficult it can be to separate genuine experience from interpretation—and why uncertainty itself can become a reason to keep exploring.
Rather than offering a final definition of reality, Sarah and Wendy embrace the mystery.
After sixteen episodes of curiosity, questions, and sometimes very strange experiences, Season One ends where perhaps it was always headed: with more questions than answers.

In this episode of Realms of Curiosity, Sarah and Wendy explore the intersection of mental health, spirituality, and healing.
Prompted by a dream, their conversation turns toward the ways spiritual and shamanic practices might complement psychological approaches to healing. They discuss depression, medication, talk therapy, somatic and unconscious approaches, psychedelic experiences, and the importance of integration.
They also explore technology addiction and our growing disconnection from nature, along with practices such as labyrinth walking and “stone medicine.” From a shamanic perspective, they consider concepts including fear, disharmony, soul loss, and the possibility of rewriting the personal narratives that shape how we experience ourselves and the world.
Throughout the conversation, they emphasize curiosity, discernment, and the understanding that different approaches may be appropriate for different people.
Ultimately, the discussion circles back to a question that has been emerging throughout the series: How much does our perception shape the reality we experience?

In this episode of Realms of Curiosity, Sarah and Wendy follow up on their experiment with the intention, “I invite the universe to show me miracles in joyful ways.”
When Wendy doesn't notice any obvious synchronicities, they begin questioning what actually qualifies as a miracle. Does the miraculous have to be dramatic, or can it be found in gratitude, abundance, unexpected opportunities, and the way we choose to perceive everyday life?
They explore manifestation, action, persistence, openness, trauma, belief patterns, and the possibility that changing our mindset may change what we're able to notice.
Sarah shares two experiences she considers miraculous, including the unexpected realization behind the title of her book Allowing the Miraculous and an extraordinary invitation involving a 100-acre property in Virginia.
Together, they consider whether miracles are something we create, something we receive, or something we learn to recognize.
And their experiment isn't over yet.

In this episode of Realms of Curiosity, Sarah and Wendy continue their exploration of fate, free will, belief, and the nature of reality.
After informally asking friends and clients whether they believe in fate, they reflect on the many people who feel that certain major events and relationships in their lives seemed destined to happen. They also consider whether fate and personal agency can coexist, and discuss the uncomfortable transitional periods when life seems to be waiting for something new to emerge.
The conversation then expands into the relationship between belief and perception. Drawing from therapeutic work, shamanic perspectives, Hawaiian teachings, and personal experience, Sarah and Wendy explore the possibility that our beliefs—shaped by wounds, experiences, and expectations—may influence the reality we perceive.
They also discuss oversouls, soul groups, karma, past-life impressions, and the ways shared beliefs can shape both individual and collective experience.
As always, the conversation remains exploratory, open-ended, and grounded in curiosity rather than certainty.

Along the way, they discuss reducing mental noise, recognizing meaningful patterns, and remaining open to the possibility that life may be communicating in subtle ways.

In this episode of Realms of Curiosity, Sarah and Wendy explore telepathy, sensitivity, and the many ways humans perceive information beyond ordinary awareness.
Together they question whether telepathy is best understood as thought transference, heightened sensory awareness, pattern recognition, or something more difficult to explain.
The conversation touches on intuition, neurodivergence, clairsentience, altered states, visualization differences, brainwave patterns, journeying, and the possibility that consciousness may operate more collectively than we typically assume.
Through personal stories and reflections, they explore how trauma, sensitivity, and direct experience may shape perception—and ask whether expanded awareness is more common than we think.
As always, the conversation remains open-ended, experiential, and grounded in curiosity.
