What happens when you realize your entire country has conditioned you to accept mediocrity, stay quiet, and apologize for wanting more?In this episode of Sovereign with Samantha Lotus, I sit down with Elliott Daigneault fellow Canadian, host of The Right Call podcast, and unapologetic freedom fighter to talk about the conditioning of complacency, the awakening happening across the West, and why so many people are choosing sovereignty over systems that have abandoned them.Elliott shares his journey from hockey dreams to tech entrepreneurship, living in Florida during the pandemic, and realizing that Canada's political system and really, most Western governments don't have your best interests at heart. We dive deep into foreign infiltration, the illusion of democracy, why taxes are theft disguised as patriotism, and how countries like Portugal, Dubai, and the UAE are showing us what freedom actually looks like.We also explore the spiritual side of awakening, why so many people are returning to Christ, what evil looks like in 2026, and how faith is becoming the foundation for those building sovereign lives. This conversation gets raw, real, and unapologetically honest about politics, patriotism, masculinity, faith, and what it takes to actually live free.This isn't about left or right. It's about waking up, standing up, and refusing to settle for a system designed to keep you small.Key TakeawaysForeign infiltration is real: Both Canada and the US are under the influence of foreign powers, making elections feel increasingly meaningless.Sovereignty starts with independence: Freedom comes from detaching from systems financially, medically, and ideologically and building your own path.Faith is the foundation: The return to Christianity isn't random, it's a response to recognizing evil and seeking the counterbalance of good.Patriotism isn't blind allegiance: If your country turns its back on you, you owe it nothing. Family and community come first.Location freedom is achievable: Countries like Portugal, Dubai, and parts of South America offer lower taxes, better healthcare, and more freedom than Canada or the US.Episode HighlightsCanadian politics, sovereignty, foreign infiltration, political disillusionment, faith and Christianity, return to Christ, mediocrity culture, Canadian conditioning, taxation as theft, healthcare system failures, expatriation, location independence, Portugal D7 visa, Dubai lifestyle, financial sovereignty, self-reliance, patriotism vs allegiance, evil and good, spiritual awakening, government corruption, uniparty system, freedom fighters, conservative vs liberal, media manipulation, censorship, Bill C-63, hate speech laws, second-class citizens, vaccine mandates, Fleming resistance, personal responsibility, entrepreneurship, independent income, anti-woke movement, masculinity, integrity over comfort, living free, breaking free from the matrix_________________________________________Links Mentioned:Follow Elliott on Social MediaInstagram | https://www.instagram.com/hrh_elliot?The Right Call Podcast | https://www.youtube.com/@rightcallpodcast_________________________________________More from Samantha:Visit the Website | https://www.samanthalotus.com/Follow on Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/samantha_lotusBook your Sovereign Jumpstart Session | https://www.samanthalotus.com/applyWatch on YouTube | https://www.youtube.com/@samanthalotusshowResources | https://samanthalotus.com/resources

What happens when you realize the traditional school system isn’t designed to nurture curiosity, creativity, or real-life skills?

In this episode of Sovereign with Samantha Lotus, I sit down with the inspiring Gillian Berard, co-founder of Infinity Academy, to explore a revolutionary approach to education. Gillian shares her journey from being a public school teacher to creating a holistic, nature-based alternative education model that empowers children to follow their passions, develop essential life skills, and thrive in alignment with their unique gifts.

We dive into how alternative education can combat the shortcomings of mainstream schooling, why project-based and inquiry-driven learning matters more than rote memorization, and how parents can reclaim their power as their children’s greatest teachers. Gillian also opens up about the importance of community, faith, and collaboration in building a thriving educational environment.

This episode isn’t just for parents it’s for anyone who believes in nurturing the next generation to live freely, confidently, and purposefully.

Key Takeaways:

1. Parents are their child’s greatest teachers; alternative education empowers families to take back control.

2. Real education focuses on skill development emotional intelligence, critical thinking, self-confidence, and practical life skills not just content knowledge.

3. Community, alignment, and action are essential for building alternative schools or homeschooling environments.

Episode Highlights: alternative education, home-based learning, forest schools, inquiry-based learning, raising sovereign children, project-based learning, life skills, emotional intelligence, confidence, holistic education, community building, breaking free from traditional schooling, parental empowerment, homeschooling, child-led learning, real-world education, awakening movement

What happens when you follow the rules your whole life… and then realize the rules were never true?

In this episode of Sovereign with Samantha Lotus, I sit down with Karla Joy Treadway to talk about awakening, integrity, and the real cost of questioning the narrative. Karla shares her journey from being a lifelong liberal and yoga studio owner to losing her business, friendships, and community simply for asking questions during COVID.

We explore how fear, media, and identity have been weaponized, why information alone doesn’t wake people up, and what sovereignty actually looks like beyond politics. Karla opens up about faith, censorship, building resilience outside of systems, and why choosing truth over comfort changed her life forever.

This isn’t a conversation about sides. It’s about responsibility, courage, and learning how to live free without losing your soul.

Key Takeaways

2. Awakening happens when identity is challenged, not when more information is given.
4. True sovereignty is built through personal responsibility, faith, community, and adaptability rather than fear or outrage.
6. Choosing integrity may cost comfort and approval, but avoiding truth ultimately costs far more.
   

Episode Highlights: awakening journey, sovereignty, media propaganda, censorship laws, COVID awakening, questioning the narrative, integrity over comfort, loss of community, cancel culture, freedom of speech, faith and Christianity, living sovereign, self-sufficiency, off-grid lifestyle, financial independence, independent thought, identity and belief systems, mainstream media manipulation, personal responsibility, truth vs illusion

In this episode, I sit down with the incredible Kristyn Pearce to break down what financial sovereignty truly looks like in real life.

Together, we explore how taking control of your money isn’t about chasing external security, it’s about building a financial system that supports you, protects you, and grows with you.

We talk about the realities of today’s banking system, why traditional financial advice often keeps people stuck, and how strategies like infinite banking and whole life insurance can create stability, opportunity, and long-term wealth. Kristen shares her journey from corporate burnout to becoming a leader in financial literacy, and she shows us how understanding money can completely shift the trajectory of your life.

This conversation grounded me in the expanded importance of financial independence and I know it will empower you to see your money differently, too.

Key Takeaways

• The banking system uses a fractional reserve model that benefits institutions more than individuals.

• Whole life insurance provides tax advantages, stable growth, and long-term protection.

• Traditional retirement accounts can create unexpected tax issues later in life.

• Keeping large amounts of cash causes you to lose purchasing power due to inflation.

Episode Highlights: financial sovereignty, infinite banking explained, whole life insurance for wealth creation, the reality of the banking system, inflation and purchasing power, retirement tax strategy, financial literacy, building generational wealth, entrepreneurship and economic independence, money management, long-term financial planning, investing for stability and growth, becoming your own bank, creating a secure financial foundation

In this episode, I sit down with the incredible Kate Murphy to dive deep into the meaning of true sovereignty and the rising of the divine feminine. Together, we explore what it really means to come home to ourselves — not as an external destination, but as an inner remembrance of who we truly are. We unravel the ancient wisdom of the feminine, the balance between masculine and feminine energy, and how reconnecting to our cyclical nature can restore power, creativity, and peace. 

This conversation touched my soul in the most profound way, and I know it will activate something within you too.

Key Takeaways

• Reclaiming sovereignty starts by coming home to your body and intuition.

• The divine feminine and divine masculine are meant to coexist in unity — not competition.

• Living cyclically (with your body, the moon, and nature) restores power, peace, and purpose.
  

Episode Highlights: coming home to the self, the feminine and masculine in union, redefining sovereignty, the illusion of control, remembrance over seeking, Christianity and the divine feminine, the path of the priestess, shadow as creation, healing the mother line, ancestral trauma and the red thread, cyclical nature vs. linear living, business by the moon, leaving safety for sovereignty, feminine leadership, divine union and heaven on earth

What if freedom, financial, emotional and spiritual,  is something you can design on purpose? 

In this episode, I sit down with my good friend, Jacob Metzger, to explore what it truly means to live a sovereign life — in our finances, our relationships, and our minds. We dive deep into the masculine and feminine dynamics that create safety, polarity, and thriving love. Jacob shares his journey of mastering money through crypto, building emotional safety in marriage, and leading from integrity and faith. This conversation is honest, expansive, and a full-body reminder that true sovereignty starts within.

Key Takeaways

• Sovereignty begins with mastering your thoughts, habits, and daily disciplines

• Financial literacy and ownership of new financial systems (like crypto rails) are essential for freedom

• True masculine and feminine polarity creates thriving relationships and lasting union
  

Episode Highlights: sovereignty, crypto rails, financial freedom, masculine containment, trust your man, dare to suck, thought-command, mentors, momentum, joy & play, nervous system, relationship safety, growth vs stagnation, quirky superpowers, faith

Welcome to the very first episode of Sovereign with Samantha Lotus! I created this podcast as a space for visionaries, leaders, and awakened souls who are ready to break free from the matrix and step fully into their power. This is where I blend psychology, biohacking, holistic health, business mastery, and timeless wisdom to help you activate your sovereignty and build a life that feels extraordinary.

In this kickoff episode, I share my journey—how I went from struggling to finally cracking the code on health, wealth, and freedom—and why I’m so passionate about guiding others to do the same. You’ll get a feel for the kind of raw, real, and deeply transformative conversations we’ll be having here: not fluff, not surface-level, but activations that call you higher.

This is just the beginning of a new season and a new era. If you’re ready to awaken, to rise, and to live fully expressed… you’re in the right place.

Key Takeaways

• Sovereignty means breaking free from conditioning and living fully expressed

• Awakening blends science, spirituality, and strategy for holistic transformation

• True leadership is grounded in authenticity, courage, and service
  

Episode Highlights: sovereignty, matrix, freedom, leadership, holistic health, business mastery, awakening, authenticity, community, psychology, biohacking, German New Medicine, empowerment, visionaries, ripple effect

With all the noise and distraction out there, it's easy to get caught up in the chaos. Remember that right in the centre, in the eye of the storm is peace and calm. 

Amidst seemingly endless cycles of creation and consumption, I'm being called to PAUSE and settle into a much needed season of REST & DIGEST. 

This marks the finale of Season 1 of the Reality Hacking Podcast.

I had a BLAST filming Season 1 and I hope you enjoyed being a part of it.

With so much love and appreciation, 

Samantha Lotus
