The Thought Room is a combination of edge-of-your-seat storytelling and groundbreaking interviews with celebrated thought-leaders like Dr. Dennis McKenna, Justin Wren, Erick Godsey, Ollie Ollerton & Dorian Yates and many more from around the world.

Recorded everywhere from hotel rooms in New York City, to a camper van in Maine; from the coastal forests of Costa Rica, to a picnic blanket amongst grapes in a vineyard in Sedona—host Hallie Rose captures rich, face-to-face interviews and intimate storytelling in a variety of eccentric locations.

From musicians to mathematicians, life coaches to psychonauts, PhDs to professional athletes—we'll invite them all to step into the Thought Room to spill their stories and share their most distilled wisdom. The show covers a breadth of topics including psychology, spirituality, sex & relationships, psychedelics, ayahuasca, non-violent communication, law of attraction, bio-hacking, fitness, nutrition, alternative health, personal development, business & entrepreneurship, mindfulness, yoga, and meditation.

Quotes from my guests on Psychedelics:

"Psychedelics are like a direct portal to the Psyche" - Erick Godsey

"What my experience with psychedelics has taught me is that all the magic is here!" - Kyle Buller

"The medicines have a way of changing one's perspective powerfully and profoundly." - Luke Storey

"Psychedelics are not suppressed because they are dangerous to users; they're suppressed because they provoke unconventional thought, which threatens any number of elites and institutions that would rather do our thinking for us." - Dr. Dennis McKenna

Quotes from my guests on Consciousness:

"I'm a true believer that our lives are a product of our imagination." - Ollie Ollerton

"Never let those who lack belief in themselves rob you of yours." - Dorian Yates

"Your ability to feel good in any kind of environment is up to you." - Dr. Craig Koniver

Quotes from my guests on Ayahuasca:

"And I am leaving, knowing — I don't want my dharma revealed to me...I want to create it, I want to walk it, I want to dance it, moment by moment. Thank you, Ayahuasca." - Erick Godsey

"Ayahuasca is a symbiotic ally of the human species." - Dennis McKenna

Celebrated guests include Dr. Dennis McKenna, Justin Wren, Erick Godsey, Ollie Ollerton & Dorian Yates.

I sat down with best-selling author and host of the Ceremony Circle podcast Alyson Charles to discuss her new book Animal Power, a compendium featuring 100 animals and their unique healing attributes, along with power practices for those looking to deepen their connections with these spirit guides.

Alyson went from being a national champion athlete, top-rated radio host, and national daytime television talk show host to aligning with her calling as a Shaman after a traumatic moment sparked her awakening. Since then, her ability to share ancient sacred wisdom and divine energy ignited a global phenomenon. Her work has been featured in Forbes, O Magazine, Marie Claire, and more.

Why cacao? As an excellent alternative to coffee, cacao is rich in theobromine, a native relative to caffeine. Theobromine's heart-opening effects energize the body and elevate the mood. Third Eye Cacao is organically grown, hand picked and sun-dried. Just boil water— Third Eye Cacao is easy enough for your morning ritual, and pure enough to be used for cacao ceremonies! (Check out Ep. 40 with Third Eye Founder, Neil Ryan Dumra).

My friend Ben Harris (@the.fear.guy) is a fear alchemist, intuitive guide, and host of the Feeling Free podcast. This episode takes an unexpected turn and our conversation slips into a real-time coaching session. Ben helps me work through some of my challenges around being a conscious leader, and my fear around how to stay in integrity as I grow my dream. Later, the roles reverse, and I take Ben into such a deep visualization that he actually puts down the microphone to lie down on my living room floor (Watch it all on YouTube!) I'm excited for you to get a little taste of what different styles of powerful coaching can look like.

This Episode inspired me to create a program called Multidimensional Emotional Mastery.

______________________________________

The Thought Room is a combination of edge-of-your-seat storytelling and groundbreaking interviews with celebrated thought-leaders like Dr. Dennis McKenna, Justin Wren, Erick Godsey, Ollie Ollerton & Dorian Yates and many more from around the world.

Recorded everywhere from hotel rooms in New York City, to a camper van in Maine; from the coastal forests of Costa Rica, to a picnic blanket amongst grapes in a vineyard in Sedona—host Hallie Rose captures rich, face-to-face interviews and intimate storytelling in a variety of eccentric locations.

From musicians to mathematicians, life coaches to psychonauts, PhDs to professional athletes—we'll invite them all to step into the Thought Room to spill their stories and share their most distilled wisdom. The show covers a breadth of topics including psychology, spirituality, sex & relationships, psychedelics, ayahuasca, non-violent communication, law of attraction, bio-hacking, fitness, nutrition, alternative health, personal development, business & entrepreneurship, mindfulness, yoga, and meditation.

Quotes from my guests on Psychedelics:

"Psychedelics are like a direct portal to the Psyche" - Erick Godsey

"What my experience with psychedelics has taught me is that all the magic is here!" - Kyle Buller

"The medicines have a way of changing one's perspective powerfully and profoundly." - Luke Storey

"Psychedelics are not suppressed because they are dangerous to users; they're suppressed because they provoke unconventional thought, which threatens any number of elites and institutions that would rather do our thinking for us." - Dr. Dennis McKenna

Quotes from my guests on Consciousness:

"I'm a true believer that our lives are a product of our imagination." - Ollie Ollerton

"Never let those who lack belief in themselves rob you of yours." - Dorian Yates

"Your ability to feel good in any kind of environment is up to you." - Dr. Craig Koniver

Quotes from my guests on Ayahuasca:

"And I am leaving, knowing — I don't want my dharma revealed to me...I want to create it, I want to walk it, I want to dance it, moment by moment. Thank you, Ayahuasca." - Erick Godsey

"Ayahuasca is a symbiotic ally of the human species." - Dennis McKenna

Celebrated guests include Dr. Dennis McKenna, Justin Wren, Erick Godsey, Ollie Ollerton & Dorian Yates.
