The Diamond Room

Ep 19. As is fitting for the last episode of the podcast, we're talking about the universal experience of Divine Timing.....aka "why do things show up in my life when they do, and not when I ask for them?" and "how do the right things sometimes come out of bloody nowhere when I didn't ask for them?" and sometimes "holy bleeding fuck, where did THIS SHIT come from?? like everrrr??" Let's get into it.

1. The divine timing of this very podcast, and of this very episode.
2. How you know when things are right for you (and when the universe is talking to you)
3. What it means to align yourself with universal will and "destiny"
4. The reality of the situation when it comes to manifestation
5. What we really have control over
6. Surrender (no we're not done with it yet)
7. ...And of course, the Akashic Records' take on the whole business (it's really fucking good)

On The Diamond Room, Slade Powell (he/they) curates an ongoing exploration of what it means to be human, bringing new perspectives on how we thrive in a world unlike any we've seen before, and what it is that we're really doing here on this big ball of dirt. Between interviews with experts in a variety of fields, from neuroscience to manifestation, and Slade's own 14 years of delving into the deeper layers of reality, this podcast is one hell of a party wrapped up in an existential crisis. (Yours. We've had ours.)

Ep 18. In our penultimate episode of the show, we're very fittingly talking about what it means to make a leap of faith, and why doing it is the only way forward when you don't know what to do or where to go...or when it's just scary as hell. As we prepare here to go on our OWN leap of faith into something new, come with us as we share the knowledge that's gotten us this far.

1. How do you know when it's a leap of faith calling? (or are you just insane)
2. How to make the leap less terrifying
3. The Leaping Lifestyle
4. A sudden urge to watch Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
5. ...And some hella insightful knowledge laid out by the Akashic Records

3. The key to living in alignment with your intuitive values
