In this all-new episode, Nicole sits down with Dr. Todd Phillips—a former mega-church pastor of 20 years who recently stepped away from his Christian faith and now identifies as an agnostic atheist. Dr. Phillips shares the profound story of his radical conversion at age 24, his deep dedication to evangelical ministry, and the existential crisis that led to his decade-long deconstruction journey. 

Together they explore the psychological weight of cognitive dissonance, the challenges of biblical inerrancy, and the heavy personal cost of losing a religious identity. Now the creator behind "The Deconstructed Pastor," Todd discusses how he is building a supportive, highly-moderated community for others navigating the painful waters of religious deconstruction.

It’s a one-of-a-kind discussion that you won’t want to miss.

ABOUT THE HOST:

Nicole Spencer is the host and curator of Spirituality for Skeptics, a show that explores the shift from doubt to belief through raw, transformative conversations. Raised without spirituality or religion, she never expected to find herself on this path. In her mid-30s, mentors and personal experiences opened her to curiosity about the unseen, inspiring her to create a space where others could explore freely without dogma or prescription.

Through unpolished, emotionally honest stories, Spirituality for Skeptics offers a rare space for those who doubt but long to believe.

What happens after we draw our last breath? How do you distinguish between anxious thoughts and true intuitive knowing? Nicole sits down with world-renowned Hollywood medium, author, and TV personality Tyler Henry for an intimate, grounded conversation that moves far beyond the celebrity spotlight.

Tyler shares unprecedented insights into his recent life-threatening health challenges—including brain surgery, a tonic-clonic seizure on the operating table, and a profoundly vivid out-of-body/near-death experience (NDE). Together, Nicole and Tyler dismantle common spiritual misconceptions, address the healthy skepticism surrounding mediumship, and explore how to live a life designed to prevent future regret.

ABOUT THE HOST:

Nicole Spencer is the host and curator of Spirituality for Skeptics, a show that explores the shift from doubt to belief through raw, transformative conversations. Raised without spirituality or religion, she never expected to find herself on this path. In her mid-30s, mentors and personal experiences opened her to curiosity about the unseen, inspiring her to create a space where others could explore freely without dogma or prescription.

Before launching the show, Nicole built and sold two coaching companies at different stages of her career. Most recently, she scaled a business coaching brand to 8-figures in six years, generating over $13 million in that time. The success was rewarding and she remains grateful for it, but even at the height of achievement she sensed there was something more. Stepping away, she turned her focus to the deeper pursuit of peace, fulfillment, and meaning.

Through unpolished, emotionally honest stories, Spirituality for Skeptics offers a rare space for those who doubt but long to believe.

Can mediumship offer practical guidance, or is it just about guessing old memories? In this episode of Spirituality for Skeptics, Nicole sits down with Australian medium and intuitive Jessica Lynne to unpack what it really looks like to connect with the spirit world.

Whether you're a hardcore skeptic or spiritually curious, this conversation breaks down the mechanics of mediumship without the fluff. Jessica shares her journey from working high-level executive corporate jobs to becoming a full-time medium with an 800+ person waitlist. Together, Nicole and Jessica explore how spirits communicate, why non-physical entities interact with our physical environment, how to connect with living souls experiencing dementia, and practical steps—like using lime—to clear negative residual energy from your home.

If you’ve ever wondered how to ask spirit for undeniable signs, what happens to our souls when we cross over, or how to set energetic boundaries, this conversation delivers grounded insights, hilarious real-world experiences, and actionable takeaways.

Can a pair of metal rods unlock answers to life’s biggest existential questions? Nicole is joined by Megan of Solar Glow Meditations—the viral creator who turned a curious discovery with dowsing rods into a community of hundreds of thousands exploring consciousness, the afterlife, and spirit communication.

Megan shares her journey from a steady career in business intelligence and corporate data to trusting spirit, experiencing a sudden Kundalini awakening, and stepping into full-time intuitive work. Together, they dive into the mechanics of intuitive senses ("the Clairs"), navigating free will versus destiny, and why non-traditional historical narratives—including evidence of humans and dinosaurs coexisting—might not be as far-fetched as we were taught.

Stick around until the end as Megan pulls out her dowsing rods for a live session with Archangel Michael, addressing big questions about human purpose, AI, and the key to fulfillment.

Nicole sits down with renowned astrologer, psychotherapist, and author Debra Silverman to explore the intersection of rigorous curiosity and ancient cosmic wisdom. Together, they discuss the origins of astrology as the earth’s oldest observational science, the transition into the Aquarian Age, and how understanding your elemental makeup can turn personal skepticism into self-awareness and direction.

Whether you are looking for clarity on your life's purpose, navigating times of deep transition, or wondering how ancient systems remain relevant in a modern world, this conversation offers a grounded, practical entry point into the esoteric. Debra addresses common questions about free will versus destiny, why major life shifts happen in distinct cycles, and how viewing life through an astrological lens can offer comfort and perspective during uncertain times.

If you are sick of the toxic positivity, gaslighting, and "snake oil" running rampant in the modern manifestation space, you are not alone. In this episode of Spirituality for Skeptics, host Nicole sits down with Taylor Perkins—spiritual teacher, intuitive guide, and author of It Is—to strip away the superficial fluff of the self-help industry and look at how reality actually operates.Taylor shares his wild journey from growing up in a high-control Mormon household and making millions in finance, to losing absolutely everything and undergoing a profound spiritual cracking-open. Together, they break down why forcing your goals through rigid vision boards usually backfires, how to stop treating yourself like a non-stop "self-improvement project," and what it actually means to align your internal environment so the external world has no choice but to reflect it back to you.Host: Nicole SpencerGuest: Taylor PerkinsExecutive Producers: Glenn Milley https://www.instagram.com/goforglenn and Bessie Fong https://www.instagram.com/bessiefongNew episodes air every Tuesday.

What happens after we take our final breath? If you are a skeptic who is tired of rigid religious dogmas but equally unsatisfied with cold, dismissive materialism, you have found your tribe. In this episode of Spirituality for Skeptics, host Nicole sits down with Jenn Scott Pickett—certified hypnotherapist, researcher, and author of Reincarnation Explained Without Religion—to bridge the gap between hard science and profound spiritual mystery. We dive deep into the fascinating, verified academic research on children with spontaneous past-life memories, explore the mechanics of the "in-between" life state, and tackle the ultimate question: If we choose our lives, why on Earth would we ever choose our struggles, our parents, or pain? Whether you are fully open-minded or healthily stubborn, you’ll walk away from this conversation with a fresh, highly digestible perspective on consciousness, soul groups, and how our current beliefs actively shape our transition to the other side.
