The Conscious Consultant Hour

This week on The Conscious Consultant Hour, Sam welcomes Jim Tate, writer, podcaster, and founder of PsychCert, whose three decades in healthcare regulation, compliance, and accreditation now inform one of the most needed conversations in the psychedelic renaissance.

Jim writes Chronicles of Kykeon, a body of work covering psychedelic history, science, and policy grounded in archives and court transcripts, and hosts three podcasts of his own: Inside the Revival, The Psychedelic Bookshelf, and The Psychedelic Silver Screen.

His new book, Elders at the Threshold: Psychedelics for Seniors, is an evidence-first guide written specifically for the population that has, until now, been left almost entirely out of the psychedelic research picture.

The absence Jim addresses is not incidental. For most of the modern research revival, older adults have quietly been excluded from clinical trials, even as many of the questions psychedelics touch most directly (grief, meaning, end-of-life awareness, legacy, the softening of long-held patterns) become more urgent, not less, in later life. Jim brings the discipline of someone who has spent thirty years watching how healthcare systems actually work, alongside a genuine curiosity about what the research is beginning to show. Elders at the Threshold is not a promise or a pitch. It is a careful, evidence-based look at what is known, what is still being studied, what the real considerations are for someone in their seventies or eighties, and how close any of this actually is to becoming accessible medicine.

Together, Sam and Jim explore what it means to bring rigor and reverence into the same conversation about psychedelics and aging. They discuss why older adults were left out of the research, what the science now suggests about safety and benefit, how the psychedelic experience often differs for someone with decades of life behind them, and what listeners might do with this information whether they are considering these medicines themselves or holding space for someone who is. Drawing on his regulatory background, Jim also shares what he is watching for as legal frameworks, clinics, and retreats begin to take shape. This episode is an invitation to bring both curiosity and clear eyes to a conversation that matters more with every passing year.

This week on The Conscious Consultant Hour, Sam welcomes Marvin L. Wilkerson, spiritual and therapeutic astrologer, certified hypnotist, and master NLP practitioner whose three decades of work sit at the meeting place of ancient wisdom and modern science.

Marvin is the author and creator of Soul Fusion Healing: Integrating Mind, Body, and Soul, and the founder of the healing framework by the same name. His practice integrates Therapeutic Astrology, Soul Fusion and Quantum Healing, and personal energy awareness into a practical path for transformation, one that has guided clients over the years in uncovering karmic patterns, releasing emotional blocks, and aligning with their true spiritual essence.

At the heart of Marvin's work is a conviction that healing begins when the soul, mind, and body are brought back into harmony. He sees the astrological blueprint as a map of the emotional and psychological patterns each soul arrives with, and the subconscious as the quiet operating system through which those patterns keep running our lives until they are consciously met.

His method draws on hypnotherapy, neuro-linguistic programming, and quantum healing to help people reach the levels of the psyche where lasting change actually lives, and to reunite the fragmented parts of self that unresolved experience so often leaves behind. His gift is translating esoteric material into language people can actually use, so complex ideas about karma, consciousness, and the subconscious mind become tools rather than mysteries.

Together, Sam and Marvin explore what it means to work with the soul's blueprint as a living guide rather than a fixed diagnosis. They discuss the intersection of spirituality and neuroscience in personal healing, how to reprogram subconscious patterns that no longer serve, and the practice of healing soul-fragmentation through Soul Fusion Healing and Quantum Healing Hypnosis.

This episode is an invitation to consider that awakening is not only a matter of insight, but of integration, and that when the soul, mind, and body come back into alignment, the life we were meant to live begins to move through us with less resistance and more grace.

This week on The Conscious Consultant Hour, Sam welcomes Daniel John Hanneman, intuitive business coach, professional counselor, certified hypnotherapist, and the creator of the trademarked Energy Scan Healing System.

Daniel brings together an unusually integrated background that spans spiritual life coaching, channeling, metaphysics, Religious Science, hypnosis, psychology, and personal and business development. He is co-author of Wake Up, Live the Life You Love: Living In Abundance, part of a bestselling series that has featured voices including Anthony Robbins, Dr. Wayne Dyer, and Dr. Michael Beckwith, and he is the creator and host of the Spiritual Rockstar Podcast, which ranks in the top two percent of shows in the world.

Daniel's work sits at the meeting place of two territories that are rarely bridged well: the inner path of the intuitive healer and the outer craft of building a real business around that gift. He works with visionary healers and spiritual entrepreneurs who know they are here to serve but often find their confidence, clarity, and reach falling short of the vision they carry. Through his coaching and his Energy Scan Healing System, he helps healers, empaths, and energy sensitives break through the subtle-body stagnation that quietly limits their impact and step into what he calls Living Heaven on Earth. His approach is grounded in the belief that the intuitive and psychic gifts within us are not decoration on a spiritual life, they are the very tools through which our work in the world becomes possible.

Together, Sam and Daniel explore what it takes for healers and spiritual entrepreneurs to fully own their gifts and translate them into meaningful reach and sustainable livelihood. They discuss the inner blocks that keep sensitive people small, the difference between hustling for visibility and leading from intuitive power, and the practical realities of scaling a heart-centered business without losing yourself in the process.

This episode is an invitation for anyone quietly carrying a calling to consider that your intuitive abilities and your business are not separate paths, and that when they finally come into alignment, the impact you were born to make becomes possible.

This week on The Conscious Consultant Hour, Sam welcomes Peter DeBenedittis, Ph.D., channel, Oneness Trainer, and longtime student of the awakening path.

In the early 2010s, Peter made four month-long journeys to Oneness University in India, founded by the avatar Sri Bhagavan, where he was trained as a Oneness Trainer and received what he calls the gift of Awakening. Over the years that followed, he taught dozens of Oneness classes and organized meditations that passed the awakening energies along to thousands of New Mexicans. Together with his beloved, Tracy Juechter, Peter has hosted a weekly meditation circle since 2011, one that continues to this day and in 2019 formed itself into a Group Consciousness.

Peter's path has been shaped by an unusual series of encounters at some of the world's most powerful sites. On the 11.11.11 Crystal Skulls World Mysteries Tour in Colorado, he touched a five-thousand-year-old crystal skull and dropped to the ground, receiving what he was told was a download that would unfold in time. In 2013, on a tour of Machu Picchu and Lake Titicaca with Lee Carroll, he made contact with a group of Pleiadians near the Sunken Temple at Tiwanaku in Bolivia.

He was later initiated to transmit the Wholeness Blessing sourced from Archangel Michael, and studied for years with GW Hardin on the science and math behind Inherent Thriving, Info-Looping, and the Gatekeeper Effect. A 2021 Quantum Healing Hypnosis Therapy session connected him more deeply with a Pleiadian being called Mira, part of a team working with humans upgrading their psychic and spiritual gifts. It was on a month-long tour of sacred sites in Egypt with Lee Carroll in 2022 that his channeling abilities truly opened. Offering sessions to fellow travelers on the Nile, he tested his gift with people accustomed to hearing from world-renowned channels, and returned home to Santa Fe called to bring this work into the world through becomingawesome.one.

Together, Sam and Peter explore what it means to become a genuine bridge between the seen and the unseen, and how the awakening path continues to unfold long after the initial opening. They discuss the years of preparation that shaped Peter's channeling, the wisdom of the Sacred Higher Self as the true source he now works with in sessions, and the way sacred sites, group consciousness, and daily meditation weave together into a living practice. This episode is an invitation for anyone who has quietly sensed their own psychic and spiritual gifts to trust what they know, and to remember that the guidance we most need is often waiting on the other side of our own listening.

This week on The Conscious Consultant Hour, Sam welcomes Graham Skidmore, former Rocket Mortgage executive turned entrepreneur, activist, and mystic.

For two decades, Graham helped design and scale one of corporate America's most influential client acquisition and marketing operations engines, checking every box the culture told him mattered: the C-suite title at a twenty-thousand-person company, the six-figure income, the house, the car, the country club. What he discovered at the top was that the height of his success was also the height of his misery. Stepping away from what looked like a life well-built began as what he thought was burnout, and revealed itself over time as a spiritual initiation that redirected the whole arc of his life.

The eight-year journey that followed took Graham through healing, awakening, and a full re-examination of the systems he had spent decades helping to build. What emerged was a body of work that sits at an unusual crossroads: executive credibility, systems architecture, spiritual depth, and a fierce commitment to human sovereignty.

Through his teaching series I Didn't Come With an Owner's Manual, and through the ventures EnGen, SATH Solutions, and Harmony Health, Graham is designing what he calls a blueprint for life beyond broken systems. His core conviction is simple and radical: the power was always meant to reside with the people, and one-size-fits-all systems, whether corporate, cultural, or technological, quietly cost us our gifts, our sovereignty, and our sense of what we are actually here to do. He also believes AI, used with wisdom, can enrich human intelligence and agency rather than replace them.

Together, Sam and Graham explore what happens when someone with an insider's understanding of the machine decides to build something more human instead. They discuss burnout as a signal of misalignment rather than personal failure, the reframe that says it is often the system and not the person that is broken, and the intersection where consciousness, ethical AI, and regenerative systems meet. Graham brings the rare voice of someone who has lived in both worlds, and who speaks fluently to executives and mystics alike. This episode is an invitation to consider what might be asking to be walked away from in your own life, and to trust that what looks like collapse may in fact be the doorway to a more authentic, empowered, and purposeful way of being.

This week on The Conscious Consultant Hour, Sam welcomes Dr. Gina Goldfeder, psychotherapist, author, and teacher, whose nearly thirty years of clinical work bridge the worlds of depth psychology and shamanic healing.

Her practice draws on Jungian orientation, dream interpretation, psychodrama, sacred geometry, ThetaHealing, and Progoff's Intensive Journal method, integrated with the wisdom of teachers including Joe Dispenza, Brené Brown, Byron Katie, and Geneen Roth.

Her new book, Releasing the Emotional Wound: Shamanic and Psychological Tools to Transcend Trauma and Rebuild Your Life, brings this integration to the page.

At the heart of Gina's work is a reframing that changes everything. Emotional wounds are more than scars from the past. Left unattended, they leave unconscious imprints on the soul and quietly become the excuses we use for why we cannot live a fulfilling life. Over time, we can begin to identify with the wound itself, mistaking it for who we are.

Yet these same wounds, met with awareness and honored properly, can become catalysts for a new personal identity. In her book, Gina shares the mantras, emotional ceremonies, rituals, amulets, and journaling practices she has refined across three decades of clinical practice, offering readers concrete tools for turning the very places we were most broken into the ground where a new self can grow.

Together, Sam and Gina explore what it takes to release an old identity built on pain and step into one grounded in wholeness. They discuss the meaning and origins of primal emotional wounds, the shamanic and psychological practices that support real transformation, and the ongoing work of encounters with yourself, the body-soul connection, and forgiveness as a gift you offer yourself.

This episode is an invitation to consider that the wound you have carried may not be the story of who you are, but the doorway into who you are becoming.

This week on The Conscious Consultant Hour, Sam welcomes back Jill Lublin, a twenty-five-year veteran of the publicity world, international speaker, and four-time bestselling author widely regarded as a media magnet.

Jill has shared thousands of stages alongside voices like Tony Robbins, Barbara Corcoran, and Jack Canfield, and has worked with more than one hundred thousand clients, teaching them her signature formula for getting media attention, creating next-level visibility in the marketplace, and turning that visibility into real growth. Her work now reaches conscious entrepreneurs and mission-driven leaders through her Media Mastery Intensive and her monthly Kindness Circles.

What makes Jill's approach distinct is not simply the strategy but the spirit behind it. She was recently honored with a Humanitarian Award, a recognition that speaks to something she has quietly built her career around: the conviction that visibility and kindness belong in the same sentence. In a marketplace often driven by hype, self-promotion, and manufactured urgency, Jill teaches a different way of being seen, one rooted in clarity of message, generosity of connection, and a willingness to lead with service. Her Kindness Circles have become a gathering ground for entrepreneurs who want their work to matter and their success to lift others along the way.

Together, Sam and Jill explore how to be seen without losing yourself in the noise and how conscious entrepreneurs can build genuine visibility while staying rooted in their values. They discuss the art of crafting a message that lands, the meaning of true expertise, and the return on investment that comes from publicity done with integrity. They also look at the deeper thread woven through all of Jill's work: the idea that kindness is not soft but strategic in the truest sense, and that the leaders who thrive in this next chapter of business will be the ones who understand that being of service and being seen are not opposites. This episode is an invitation for anyone with a message worth sharing to step forward with both courage and heart.

This week on The Conscious Consultant Hour, Sam welcomes Jeff Abraham, CEO of Promescent, a sexual wellness company he has led for more than a decade.

But Jeff's story is not really a product story. It is the story of what happens when someone chooses to run a business by a different set of rules, where loyalty, integrity, and honoring the people who came before are treated as non-negotiable, not optional.

After discovering a groundbreaking treatment developed by urologist Dr. Ronald Gilbert, Jeff invested in the product, became the majority owner, and launched what became the company's flagship offering. Since 2013, he has built it into a full-spectrum wellness company with more than five million bottles sold and over four thousand healthcare professionals recommending the brand.

What makes Jeff's journey worth telling is not the growth of the company, but how he has grown it. Along the way, there have been moments where he could have taken the easier or more profitable path, and instead chose to honor his friend and business partner in ways he was under no obligation to do. He simply believed it was the right thing. That kind of decision-making is quiet, unglamorous, and increasingly rare in a business culture that often rewards the opposite. It is also, in Jeff's experience, the very thing that has allowed the company to endure and thrive over the long arc.

Together, Sam and Jeff explore what it actually looks like to build an ethical business in a world that too often treats ethics as a marketing message rather than a lived practice. They discuss the difference between running a company for profits and running a company for people, the moments that reveal a leader's real values, and why the way we treat our partners, our employees, and our customers is ultimately the truest measure of any business. This episode is an invitation for entrepreneurs to consider that success and integrity are not opposing forces, and that doing right by the people around us is, in the long run, the most sustainable business strategy there is.

This week on The Conscious Consultant Hour, Sam welcomes Nikolai Blinow, licensed mental health counselor, coach, and the creator of The Calm Hustle Method.

Nikolai works with neurodivergent women in leadership, helping them navigate burnout, perfectionism, imposter syndrome, and the quieter, often unnamed traumas of growing up neurodivergent in a neurotypical world. Her clinical training in dialectical-behavioral therapy and EMDR, combined with years as a yoga teacher, gives her a rare vantage point at the meeting place of nervous system science and embodied practice.

Her TEDx talk, Yoga and Its Connection to Mental Health, has been viewed over 300,000 times, and stands as clear evidence of her long-held belief that holistic and scientific principles belong in the same conversation.

At the heart of Nikolai's work is a reframe that changes everything. Motivation, procrastination, burnout, and the relentless inner critic are not character flaws or discipline problems. They are nervous system responses, often shaped by childhood experience, financial insecurity, trauma, perfectionism, and the way neurodivergent brains process stress, motivation, and reward. Traditional productivity advice largely misses this, which is why so many capable, ambitious women find themselves working harder and feeling worse. Through The Calm Hustle Method, Nikolai helps women break out of survival mode without dismantling the careers and businesses they have worked hard to build, guiding them from the exhausted state of force into the sustainable rhythm of flow.

Together, Sam and Nikolai explore what it really takes to move from chronic urgency into regulated, intentional living. They discuss why productivity has become a modern identity, why rest is not the opposite of meaningful work but the very ground of it, and how understanding the inner critic as an outdated survival strategy creates more lasting change than trying to silence it. They also look at what it means to redefine success, not by how much we accomplish, but by whether we are creating a life we do not need to recover from. This episode is an invitation to slow down without falling behind, to work with the nervous system rather than against it, and to remember that the way we get where we are going matters as much as arriving.

This week on The Conscious Consultant Hour, Sam welcomes James Woeber, best-selling author, international consultant, speaker, and Co-Founder and President of The Art of Heartful Living Institute.

For more than three decades, James has worked with inspired leaders and organizations to help them unlock their brilliance, manifest their greatest visions, and become genuine agents of positive change. His unique path integrates over thirty years as an energy healing master trainer with twenty-two years as a family and systemic constellations facilitator and trainer, alongside a distinguished career as a multi-award-winning producer, director, and writer whose work spans socially conscious nonprofits and Fortune 1000 companies.

What sets James's approach apart is the way he weaves these threads together into a single body of work aimed at wholeness. His encounter with Family and Systemic Constellations changed the way he understood healing itself. He discovered that many of the struggles we assume are ours alone are often carried down through family and ancestral lines, and that when those hidden dynamics are brought into the light, profound shifts can happen with surprising grace.

His work is not about fixing or discarding parts of ourselves we do not like, but about expanding our capacity to hold every part with strength and love. When we hold ourselves differently, he says, we begin to transform, and from that place we become people who can create real change in the world.

Together, Sam and James explore what it means to soften the old patterns that were designed to protect us, and to reconnect with the authentic power and gifts each of us came here to share. They discuss the wisdom of constellation work, the systemic dimensions of healing that individual approaches often miss, and the kind of heart-centered leadership our moment is calling for.

Drawing on more than two decades of facilitation, James speaks to the remarkable breakthroughs he has witnessed in people who did not become someone different, but were finally free to become more fully themselves. This episode is an invitation to remember who you are beneath the conditioning and inherited patterns you have carried, and to bring that authentic self into the world in service of something greater.
